BTS Busan Concert Safety Measures: 3,000 Personnel Deployed
Safety preparations for the BTS WORLD TOUR 'ARIRANG' IN BUSAN include 3,043 personnel to manage crowds at Busan Asiad Main Stadium and surrounding areas.
A total of 3,000 safety management personnel will be deployed for the upcoming BTS concert in Busan, scheduled for the 12th and 13th.
A total of 3,043 safety officers will be stationed at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium, where the BTS performance will take place, as well as at Busan Port Pier 1, Gwangalli Beach, and Haeundae Beach, where related events are being held.
The largest group consists of 1,414 officials from the organizing side, followed by 294 Busan City Hall officials, 168 officials from 16 autonomous districts and counties, and 1,167 personnel including police, firefighters, and public institution employees.
The government and the concert industry predict that a crowd of up to 100,000 people will gather for the ‘BTS WORLD TOUR ’ARIRANG‘ IN BUSAN’ held at the Busan Asiad Main Stadium on the 12th and 13th at 7 PM.
Busan City Hall originally planned to select 915 city officials for safety management, but following online controversy regarding the appropriateness of deploying civil servants, they finally decided to organize the safety management workforce using only volunteers.
On the 12th, five hours before the BTS concert began, the government reviewed crowd safety management measures led by Kim Kwang-yong, Director of the Disaster and Safety Management Division of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
The government decided to concentrate safety officers in bottleneck sections and crowded areas with high accident risks and even install safety fences. Additionally, they plan to provide drinking water and install shade canopies to prepare for heat-related illnesses.
