Presided over by Mayor Lee Kangdeok, the briefing began with a comprehensive report from the Pohang Cultural Foundation, the festival organizer, and focused on reviewing the current status and final preparations for the festival with related departments and relevant agencies such as Pohang Bukbu Police Station, Pohang Nam and Bukbu Fire Stations, and Pohang Maritime Police Station.

To ensure the successful hosting of the Pohang International Fireworks Festival, the city is striving to minimize inconvenience for visitors and ensure safety by systematically inspecting all related areas, including ▲enhancing the safety of festival programs ▲pre-event safety checks at the venue ▲establishing traffic measures ▲deployment and management of staff ▲support for various administrative matters.

In particular, since the main events will take place at night, a joint comprehensive situation room will be operated with relevant agencies, and all efforts will be made for safety through real-time safety text broadcasts, DJ Police (vehicles for crowd control), and safety promotions via on-site LED screens.

Mayor Lee Kangdeok stated, “We will establish thorough safety measures so that visitors to this year’s Pohang International Fireworks Festival can enjoy the event with peace of mind. I ask everyone to fulfill their respective roles, and through meticulous preparation in the remaining period, we will showcase the true essence of Pohang’s representative festival.”
