Crowd safety measures for BTS concert

As BTS is set to hold its first full-group comeback concert in four years at Gwanghwamun Plaza in Seoul next month, special police forces will prepare crowd safety measures to manage the large number of domestic and international fans expected that day.

Hotel rooms in the area are booking up fast. With 76 percent of registered hotels’ rooms already booked, the remaining rooms will likely be sold out soon. It is common to see rooms with daily charges three to four times the usual price. It is interpreted that a massive number of domestic and overseas fans have booked the hotels to get a feel for the atmosphere even though they can’t get a close-up of the concert itself.
