Ahead of the group's BTS (BTS) Gwanghwamun performance, the terror alert in downtown Seoul will be upgraded to the next level.

The government announced on the 18th that it will raise the terror alert for Jongno-gu and Jung-gu, Seoul, from 0:00 p.m. on the 19th to midnight on the 21st to "caution."

The move is aimed at strengthening anti-terrorism safety activities in the wake of BTS' Gwanghwamun performance scheduled for the 21st.

The government recently decided that the possibility of a terrorist threat could not be ruled out due to the nature of large-scale performances amid unstable international circumstances, and raised the alert level in a preemptive response that prioritizes public safety.

Terrorism warnings are classified into four levels of "attention, caution, alert, and serious" depending on the level of threat, and this measure will apply the "caution" level to the region during the event.

In accordance with the raising of the alarm, related agencies such as police, fire, and military will strengthen vigilance and patrols at major event venues and multi-use facilities. In addition, the joint response system between institutions will be further strengthened to enable immediate response in case of emergency.

The government said, "All related agencies will work closely to maintain a thorough readiness," adding, "We will respond quickly and thoroughly to any situation during the event."
