I'm looking forward to seeing it on a vivid screen in my home room.

However, safety concerns are the biggest concern when crowds gather.

What kind of preparation did you make?

[Reporter]
The Busan Metropolitan Government anticipated that 1 million people would flock to Marine City, Dongbaek Island, and Hwangnyeongsan Mountain, where you can see fireworks, and prepared congestion management and safety measures.

First of all, vehicle entry was controlled around the venue and major viewing points from 10 a.m.

Gwangan Bridge is not allowed to enter from 3:30 p.m. on the upper floor in the direction of Yongho-dong and from 6:30 p.m. on the lower floor in the direction of Haeundae.

Public transportation will be expanded while restricting vehicle traffic.The city of

has organized 240 additional urban railroads between now and 9 p.m.

In addition, city buses passing around the venue will operate on a weekday level, not on holidays, and additional buses will be added from the end of the event.

More than 6,700 people, including police, firefighters, and public officials, will be deployed to manage congestion and safety at the venue.

This year's event starts an hour earlier than usual and ends that much earlier.

There is some room for visitors to return home, so they can disperse the crowds at once.

In addition, the Busan Metropolitan Government plans to manage the crowds on white sand and coastal roads so that there are no more than 200,000 people and induce them to leave from the outside one after the event so that they do not get tangled.
