Busan and Hive will proceed with the 100,000 Audience Concert on schedule in the middle of nowhere, with mounting concerns over the suspected safety insensitivity.
The group BTS (BTS) will hold a solo performance "BTS
This performance is a performance of the origin of the 2030 Busan World Expo. It is sponsored by the Busan Metropolitan City and the 2030 Busan World Expo bid committee, and hosted and hosted by BTS agency Big Hit Music (Hive). A total of 100,000 Audiences (50,000 seats and 50,000 standing seats) will be held in the form of free advance tickets for all seats.
Considering that the online Concert recently held by the public relations ambassador BTS mobilized fans of countries (ARMYs) that far exceeded the number of member countries of the International Expo Organization (197 countries), it is a performance like Chun Gun Manma from the standpoint of Busan struggling to attract the Busan World Expo. Busan plans to invite more than 3,500 overseas key figures and families to the show.
The venue for the performance is the middle of the middle of the day, which was the site of the Korean glass industry's Busan factory. Concerns over the spread of new coronavirus infections (Corona 19), which are still on the rise, and the behavior of lodging in the surrounding lodging facilities, have been raised as serious problems, even if it is not discussed.
According to the announcement by Hive via BTS Wiverse on the 30th, the distance from Exit 1 of Ilgwang Station on the Donghae Line to the special stage of Busan Daylight is 800m (15 minutes walk). The Golden Gate Bridge is the only two-lane round-trip lane with a narrow passageway, so it plans to let 100,000 Audience go on foot by controlling the road on the day of the performance. Although the government is planning to consider aircraft, KTX, and train increase as well as maritime transportation, criticism continues due to the high possibility of safety = accidents in the process of entering and leaving all Audience through the Golden Gate Bridge and the passageway.
Concert The unprecedented stand-up seat placement and operation method has also been on the topic. According to the seat layout released by Hive, 50,000 people, half of the Audience number, are placed in standing seats.
The surprising point is that standing seats, which are generally located closest to the stage, are placed at the end of the theater and operate without a separate entry number. The remaining 50,000 seats are laid on a flat without a step in front of the standing seat. Even if the problem of poor standing seat visibility is the case, the operation of standing seat without a position number is likely to lead to additional confusion and human accidents. It is also impossible to ignore that ambulances and fire trucks can not smoothly come and go in case of an emergency such as Audience Abstract.
Among them, MBC MBC Newsdesk' reported on the danger of the performance on August 30th, and the site that was directly covered was a hollow plate that was left after the factory relocation. There was no infrastructure for large-scale performances, and a huge puddle was located where the factory chimney disappeared.
"MBC Newsdesk" said, "This village is right in contact with the sea and is like an island, so you can go inside the village only after passing through a narrow round-trip secondary bridge. There are only two entrances to the theater, and street lights are rare on the road, turning into dark darkness at night, and there are no facilities such as toilets or restaurants around. 100,000 Audiences should be gathered, but fans who were worried about whether there would be any problems with access and traffic, traffic disruption and safety accidents have already come to the scene. "
Busan citizen and BTS fan told MBC Newsdesk, "I came to see you saying, 'How did you get there when there was no infrastructure there?' If the amis come, it will not be uncomfortable. "
Another fan said, "When I performed 50,000 Audiences in Bly, England, there were 2,700 toilets, but (Busan) has 100,000 people, and it is right to make a simple facility in a month."
As a result, there is criticism that the number of Audiences should be reduced and the venue should be changed to a venue with relatively high accessibility and well-established infrastructure such as the Busan Asian Stadium. "MBC Newsdesk" also said, "Although it is pointed out that it is necessary to utilize proven facilities such as the Busan Asiad Stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 people, Busan is going to perform at Sunlight Beach as scheduled."
Busan is the only place where the daylight beach can accommodate 100,000 people at once, have a stage of more than 100m, and a ground for installing 100-ton cranes. It is noteworthy how long the safety insensitivity level of Busan and Hive will continue.
