"K-pop Takes Center Stage as Troubled World Scout Jamboree Ends in Seoul"

South Korea hosted a K-pop concert to salvage national prestige as the ill-fated World Scout Jamboree, plagued by extreme weather and criticized for poor organization, comes to an end. The event saw hundreds of participants falling ill due to heatwaves, poor sanitation, and lack of food. The remaining scouts were evacuated due to an approaching typhoon. Politicians and opposition parties have called for an investigation into the mismanagement of the event. Despite the challenges, a K-pop concert was held for the scouts, with free merchandise provided by HYBE and Kakao.
