- Tens of thousands of scouts are set to gather for a massive K-pop festival in Seoul on Friday, as South Korea seeks to salvage a problem-plagued jamboree with “the power of Korean culture”.
The quadrennial world jamboree gathered 43,000 scouts in North Joella province, but an unprecedented heatwave prompted mass illnesses, US and UK contingents left early amid reports of dire campsite conditions, and a tropical storm finallyThe scouts have since been dispersed across the country and sent on government-sponsored cultural tours, but the “K-pop Superlive” concert – featuring major acts including NewJeans and The Boyz – is set to reunite all jamboree participants for a grand finale.
But criticism has mounted after it emerged that a popular TV music programme, set to feature some acts now performing at the jamboree, was abruptly cancelled for undisclosed reasons. The Yonhap News Agency reported that around 1,000 employees at public institutions – such as the Korea Development Bank and the Korea Electric Power Corporation – had been “mobilised” to help out with the concert.
