Do you think the safety management for the BTS comeback concert in Gwanghwamun was excessive? ?

 

2026 year 3 month 21 BTS's comeback performance held at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul on the 1st BTS Comeback Live : Arirang ' In relation to ,

Controversy has arisen regarding the excessive mobilization of public officials due to the government and local authorities' failure to predict crowd sizes. .

 

Regarding BTS's comeback performance at Gwanghwamun Square, the largest 26 We prepared based on the expectation that 10,000 people would gather, but , The actual crowd at the scene was approximately according to the organizers' estimates. 10 only 4 thousand people ,

Police estimate 7 only 7 cloth ~8 only 3 It is said that the figure fell to the level of a thousand, not even half of the predicted amount. .

 

police 6,700 Dawn , Seoul Metropolitan Government and autonomous district officials 2,600 Dawn , fire fighting 800 In the public sector alone, including thousands of people 1 It is said that more than 10,000 personnel were deployed. .

There are civilian security guards there 4,800 Total including thousands 1 only 5,000 It is said that 100 security personnel have been deployed. ...

 

Overtime pay and other allowances paid to mobilized public officials

minimum 4 It is estimated that over 100 million won in taxes was spent. .

 

Many people believe that the authorities failed to predict the crowd size.

It was also pointed out that tax money, including overtime pay for public officials, was wasted. .

 

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency

" Given the nature of the police force, which must prepare for the worst-case scenario, this was based on the assumption that the crowd would fill up to Sungnyemun. " Because it is maximum 26 They predicted a crowd of 10,000 people. .

 

Reduced incentive for on-site visits due to online live streaming , Safety standards strengthened after the Itaewon disaster ,

I did criticize that the organizers' optimistic demand forecasts led to such an excessive demand prediction. .

 

 

under . ji . only .

If more overseas and domestic fans gather than expected and again ' Itaewon tragedy ' If the same incident had occurred, could it really have been said that the preparations were excessive even then? ?

 

I think it is literally a story based on hindsight. .

It is a relief that most fans passed by safely without any major accidents.

If casualties occurred, public opinion would 180 It has also changed, so a global group like BTS

I imagine they would have severely criticized the poor safety management during the performance.

 

If you think about it simply...

We can't even easily judge how many guests will attend our own wedding.

Was it easy to predict the size of the crowd at the Gwanghwamun comeback concert, where ARMY fans from all over the world gather? ...

 

Even though BTS possesses the ticket power to sell out even rented dome stadiums for concerts in seconds,

Some people

BTS's domestic popularity has dropped, so what? 26 There were even some people who were sarcastic, asking if 10,000 people would gather. ...

 

On civil servants' overtime pay 4 They criticize it for costing hundreds of millions, but

If our citizens were actually killed or injured while performing this show, that 4 I don't think saving hundreds of millions is something to brag about. ...

 

In a case like this, rather than being less prepared for safety management and having citizens die or get injured

It is better to prepare excessively well. .

 

While watching the recent BTS Gwanghwamun event

Don't get bogged down in results and costs incurred

I wish they would realize that the lives of the people are more important than the costs saved. .

 

After all, a second Itaewon tragedy could happen again at any time...
