Police moved to support transporting wedding guests for engaged couples whose wedding schedules were disrupted by BTS's comeback concert.
According to police and others on the 20th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency decided to deploy police buses to transport guests from Euljiro 3-ga Station to the Korea Press Center from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the 21st, the day of the BTS concert.
The Seoul agency was found to have prepared this support measure after internal discussions to help engaged brides and grooms facing difficulties with their weddings because of the concert. Police are currently discussing the specific number of buses to operate and detailed operation methods.
The move takes into account the ripple effects of large-scale traffic controls due to the BTS comeback concert at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul at 8 p.m. on the 21st. On the day, vehicle traffic will be completely banned from Gwanghwamun to City Hall along Sejong-daero from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. on the 22nd.
On the day of the concert, the areas around Sejong-daero and Saemunan-ro will be gradually controlled, and city bus routes will also be detoured. In particular, to prevent safety accidents, non-stop train passages will be implemented from about 2–3 p.m., with trains not stopping at Gwanghwamun Station (Line 5), City Hall Station (Lines 1 and 2), and Gyeongbokgung Station (Line 3). Station entrances and exits will also be closed. The closed subway stations are expected to be available for normal use from after 10 p.m., when the concert ends.
