A body search is essential even if you are not a person who came to see the boy group BTS (BTS).

BTS (RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jungkook) will hold a performance "BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG" at Gwanghwamun Square at 8 p.m. on the 21st to commemorate the release of its fifth studio album "ARIRANG".

On this day, Gwanghwamun Square was full of ARMYs from 2 p.m., six hours before the performance began. Since all nearby subway stations passed without stopping, the subway stations, which are quite far from Gwanghwamun Station, were already crowded.

I got off at Seodaemun Station and walked to Gwanghwamun Square. Hundreds of police and volunteers filled the streets, and nearby shopping malls began to hang large placards to celebrate BTS's Gwanghwamun performance.

In order to enter near Gwanghwamun Square, where the full-fledged performance is held, you must go through a metal detector and body search unconditionally. In fact, about 31 gates installed along the fence were equipped with gate-type metal detectors to search for dangerous goods. Police also conducted physical and belongings inspections at the scene. Considering that most of the ARMYs (fandom names) are women, most of the gender of the police officers who were summoned to the scene was also made up of women.

Reporters were also searched through a door-shaped metal detector to enter the press room. In a similar form to a body search at an airport, police began to thoroughly inspect the entire bodies of citizens and their bags.

The police looked closely into the bag and asked, "Do you have anything dangerous?" and intensively inspected even a small pocket in the bag.
