Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon checked the final preparations for the group's BTS (BTS) Gwanghwamun Square performance and was confident of successful hosting.

On the afternoon of the 19th, the Seoul Metropolitan Government conducted an on-site inspection on the comeback performance of the BTS (BTS) around Gwanghwamun Square in Jongno-gu, Seoul and the rooftop of the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts. Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon and other officials in charge of related organizations attended.

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon held a briefing on the roof of the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts and toured the stage and auditorium set up in Gwanghwamun Square. Since then, Mayor Oh has told reporters, "We are almost ready," adding, "All preparations are underway from preparation for terrorism." We will be ready to enjoy all the BTS comeback performances together in a festive atmosphere with confidence, he said.

Mayor Oh predicted, "It is expected that up to 260,000 people will gather at the BTS Gwanghwamun Square performance."

In particular, Mayor Oh said, "What I care about is safety and toilet issues. 126 mobile toilets were installed around the concert hall, and 70 surrounding buildings were opened to secure a total of 2,551 toilets. We are making every effort to prevent any inconvenience in using the bathroom, he said. "If there is an unexpected accident or problem, we will operate 15 medical facilities at the site, and a mobile intensive care unit (SMICU) is also scheduled to be operated."

Mayor Oh also said, "And we will continue monitoring to prepare for the occurrence of risks in the part of real-time live broadcasting. Not only does it manage to prevent safety accidents, but it also simulates them in advance to continue practicing emergency situations. We will take active measures in the event of a safety accident," he said.

Mayor Oh added, "Safety is important, but the Seoul Metropolitan Government will do its best to ensure that it can be held in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere."

BTS will hold 'BTS Comeback Live: ARIRANG' at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul on the 21st. This is a seven-member full-length stage set up after about three years and nine months of military hiatus (military + vacancy) that has continued since 2022. As a result, global interest exploded, and the Seoul Metropolitan Government put in the largest level of fire fighting ever. More than 8,200 safety management personnel were deployed. More than 3,400 people, including the Seoul Metropolitan Government, autonomous districts, and firefighting, and 4,800 organizers will be deployed to the site to manage crowd congestion and safety accidents. Based on the safety management area designated by the police, roles are shared by reflecting the characteristics of each area.

On the day of the event, Gwanghwamun Station on Subway Line 5, City Hall Station on Lines 1 and 2, and Gyeongbokgung Station on Line 3 will pass without stopping and the entrance to the station will be closed. City buses will also temporarily bypass 51 routes (86 routes including villages and Gyeonggi-do) via Sejong-daero, Sajik-ro, and Saemoonan-ro. 31 buildings around Gwanghwamun will be completely blocked from entering.

Meanwhile, RM, the leader of the BTS, said on the 19th, "We are also very excited to meet you at Gwanghwamun," adding, "As it is a gathering place for many people, we ask that everyone enjoy the performance safely and joyfully. Please follow the guidance of the field staff and safety personnel on the day and look forward to showing an orderly appearance. I think a better performance will be completed only when there is order and consideration made by each ARMY," he said.

He then said, "I would like to thank the police officers who work hard for safety, and everyone including the fire department, the government and local governments."
