The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency will prepare safety measures ahead of the group BTS (BTS) Gwanghwamun performance on the 21st.

According to Newsis on the 13th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said it is focusing on last-minute safety checks to block the possibility of terrorism caused by worsening international sentiment ahead of the Gwanghwamun performance in BTS. In particular, considering the unstable international situation such as the Middle East situation, the possibility of terrorism cannot be ruled out, and the government is fully prepared.

The police plan to block the accident by deploying sign vodka, bucket-type barricades, and police buses on major and side roads to prevent sudden unintended acceleration or rush of vehicles in the venue. In addition, door-shaped metal detectors (MDs) will be installed at 30 entrances of visitors on the day of the performance to prevent dangerous goods from being brought in, and search will be greatly strengthened.

The experience available to the police commandos will be mobilized as much as possible for the preliminary safety inspection of all areas of the venue. In addition, it plans to establish a preemptive response system, such as operating a joint analysis response team for related functions and analyzing the risk of the report, in case reports of explosion threats are received on the day of the event.

The police will track down the arrest investigation to the end in principle and take strict legal action if they waste police force or disrupt the event due to public threats such as bombing threats. In all related cases, they showed a strong position to thoroughly hold civil liability for damages.

On the day of the event, a monitoring team will be operated to determine the density of the crowd, and related agencies, including the Seoul Metropolitan Government, will work jointly at 31 gates to determine the timing of crowd control. The Seoul Metropolitan Government said, "It may take a long time to enter due to strengthened search such as MD operation, so please simplify your carry-on items," adding, "We will thoroughly prepare for the entire event by mobilizing all available experience and equipment."

Meanwhile, BTS will hold "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG (BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG)" in Gwanghwamun Square at 8 p.m. on the 21st.
