Police to prepare for BTS’s comeback concert by deploying special units, increasing counterterrorism measures

Police are preparing for crowds of up to 260,000 people at Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul next month for a BTS comeback concert by deploying special police units and stepping up counterterrorism measures. Park Jeong-bo, the head of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, said at a regular press briefing on Monday that police have formed a task force led by the agency’s deputy commissioner general for public safety to oversee preparations.Police estimate that about 230,000 people could gather between the performance stage north of Woldae — a stone platform once used for royal ceremonies — near Gwanghwamun and Deoksu Palace’s Daehanmun, but that number could swell to as many as 260,000, according to Park. “We are preparing based on the assumption that the maximum number of people could gather,” he said.To access this post, you must purchase Web, Web – One-Day, Web – 14-Day, Web – One-Month, Web – Three-Month, Web – Six-Month, Web – Annual, Web & eBook, Web & eBook – One-Day, Web & eBook – 14-Day, Web & eBook – One-Month, Web & eBook – Three-Month, Web & eBook – Six-Month or Web & eBook – Annual.
