The evacuation of Saemangeum Jamboree participants was completed last night, and about 36,000 people moved to eight regions across the country.

The government and local governments hastily sought accommodation and prepared alternative programs.

Buses arrive at Yonsei University’s Incheon Songdo Campus one after another.

They brought 1,300 Belgians from the Saemangeum Jamboree camp to the university dormitory.

Yesterday, as about 30,000 soldiers withdrew at once, the government and local governments were in an emergency all day.

During vacation, not only empty university dormitories, but also public officials, corporate training facilities, and even religious facilities were mobilized as temporary accommodations.

″Mosquitoes were the hardest. (Mosquitoes) bothered me the most… and the weather was too hot.”

Alternative programs were also hastily set up for members dispersed across the country.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government has decided to extend the operation of cultural facilities such as the City Museum of Art until late at night.

The British crew, who withdrew early last weekend, enjoyed their free time by visiting the Blue House, museums and amusement parks.

″Especially things like palaces and parks (I liked it.)″

At the Saemangeum campsite, the evacuation work was not completed until around 9:30 pm.

The organizers originally said that they would withdraw in 6 hours, but it took almost twice as long as expected as the destination was delayed.

″I was a bit slow in the process of confirming the destination in the morning…″

Early withdrawal from Saemangeum was decided due to the northbound typhoon ‘Kanun’, but from the first day, hundreds of heat wave patients came out, and controversies such as toilet hygiene and sex crimes continued.

″It seems that the biggest sanction from the World Federation was the sanitation issue. Wasn’t there something lacking in bathroom hygiene and cleanliness?”

Gender Equality and Family Minister Kim Hyun-sook acknowledged the sanitation problem, but pointed out that it was an inappropriate remark as the minister in charge when she said, “I can rather show Korea’s crisis management ability” in response to concerns that it could adversely affect future international events. .
