Free BTS concert in Busan faces snowballing concerns

Voices of concern are mounting over a megasized BTS concert in Busan, as problems stemming from an influx of concertgoers remain unresolved ahead of the event’s launch in October.

On Oct. 15, under the title "BTS ‘Yet to Come’ in Busan," the K-pop septet will hold a concert in Gijang-gun of Busan as part of an effort to support the coastal city in its bid to host the 2030 World Expo. The seven members of BTS are honorary ambassadors of the 2030 Busan World Expo.

The event is expected to have an audience capacity of 110,000, making it the biggest single concert ever held in Busan. The main venue in Gijang-gun, accommodating 100,000 people, and a separate area for another 10,000 fans with a real-time broadcast of the gig will be arranged at the Busan Port International Passenger Terminal, around 36 kilometers south of the main venue.

This will mark the first live concert by BTS in South Korea since its Seoul concert in March and the first time the bandmates take to the stage together since they announced an official break to focus on solo activities in June.

But with the mounting excitement have come snowballing problems, as Busan braces itself for the unprecedented crowd.

One concern at hand is the skyrocketing prices of accommodation. On Aug. 24, when the concert date was announced, all the rooms in Gijang-gun and nearby areas instantly sold out, with room fees surging by up to 10 times their usual rates. Some hoteliers came under fire after canceling existing reservations to resell the rooms at higher prices.

The city of Busan has declared it will take action against such malpractice. In a meeting attended by related authorities on Aug. 30, Busan Mayor Park Hyeong-joon said the city will work with related organizations, such as the Fair Trade Commission, to look into the issue and map out necessary measures.

A lack of public infrastructure surrounding the concert site is also expected to lead to a slew of problems, including safety concerns for the audience.

Serious traffic confusion is one problem. The concert is set to take place at a temporary venue installed on unused land near the coast some 15 minutes by walk from Ilgwang Station, which will be the only means of public transportation. The mass of people will be walking from the station to the venue via a narrow two-lane road in a residential area, and no cars will be allowed at the site on the day.

The venue itself has also come under fire.

According to a map released by Big Hit on Tuesday, not only does the temporary building seem too small for 100,000 people to cram into, but there is only one gate going in and out from it. Most structures where concerts of such enormous size are held usually have multiple gates spread out around the building -- 54 gates in the case of 65,00-seat capacity Jamsil Sports Complex in Seoul and 22 gates at the 66,000-seat Seoul World Cup Stadium.

While the local government has announced various measures to ease confusion surrounding the venue, nothing has been confirmed for now, and whether such measures will be effective in preventing the havoc as some 110,000 fans move around the city remains doubtful.

The city said it plans to temporarily ramp up public transportation, adding extra subway trains and buses and requesting an increase in the number of high-speed trains and airplanes between Seoul and Busan. The government is also mulling operating cruise ships and speedboats between Busan Port and Gijang-gun.

BTS’ October concert will be the septet’s first promotional activity as ambassadors for the potential 2030 Busan World Expo. More related events are expected to take place in Busan the same month, including "2022 BTS Exhibition: Proof," about the group’s nine-year career, set to kick off on Oct. 5 at Haeundae LCT.

UNIT 68. Benefits of the FTA

Min-Soo: Emma, have you seen my new smart phone?

Emma: No, I haven't. Let me see it... . It looks very nice.

Min-Soo: It's a Samsung Galaxy with 4G LTE speed.

Emma: I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds impressive.

Min-Soo: Yeah, and it has an Android 4.4 KitKat operating system.

Android KitKat: 구글이 개발한 안드로이드 계열의 안드로이드 버전

Emma: You're losing me.

Min-Soo: With a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 2.7GHz quad-core processor.

Qualcomm Snapdragon: 퀄컴에서 개발한 스마트폰, 태블릿, 스마트북 등을 위한 모바일 SoC

Emma: You're way over my head now!

Min-Soo: Oh, and Bluetooth 4.0 technology with a 5.7" Super AMOLED HD touch screen.

Emma: I should call you "Mr. High Tech," and I have to admit: Korea makes the best smart phones.

Exported products going to other countries.

Imported products coming to Korea.

The United States and the Republic of Korea signed the United States-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KOORUS FTA) on June 30, 2007.

However, it took years of discussions before the agreement was approved by both legislatures and came into effect on March 15, 2012.

Over the years of discussion, numerous opponents in both Korea and the U.S. railed against the agreement, stating that it would have adverse effects on agriculture, automobiles, and other industries.

Of course, supporters claimed that the agreement would be beneficial to both countries.

The FTA has now been in effect for more than three years, so one may ask:

who has benefited the most from the agreement?

According to the Wall Street Journal, the clear winner has been Korea.

While bilateral trade between the two countries rose dramatically, the South Korean trade surplus with the U.S. only widened during this period.

The following statistics show Korea's trade surplus with the U.S. during the relevant years:

2011, 13.1 billion; 2012, 16.6 billion; 2013, 20.7 billion; 2014, 25.1 billion.

Also, during this period, Korea's exports to the U.S. grew faster than their exports to the rest of the world.

Korean opponents of the FTA had claimed that it would devastate the agricultural sector in Korea due to massive imports of American agriculture and livestock products.

These claims were proven to be groundless as Korea's imports of U.S. agriculture and livestock products dropped 20% while Korea's exports of the same type of product increased 20%.

What do you think?

(1) Why does Korea's trade surplus with the U.S. keep increasing?

(2) Should Korea sign more free trade agreements with other countries?

(3) What are your favorite made-in-Korea products?

(4) What American products do you like the most?

(5) What American products do you like the least?

1.  What is it like to live as a foreigner in South Korea?

Going by the OECD's definition, a "multi-cultural society" is a country where more than five percent of its population are foreigners, second-generation immigrants, and naturalized citizens.
That term does not describe South Korea yet, but it likely will soon.
Our Song Yoo-jin went out to find more about what life in Korea is like for people from other cultures, and how they're being integrated into society.

Two million.
Accounting for almost 5 percent of the population, that's the number of foreign residents living in South Korea.
The figure had been steadily rising, but dropped during the pandemic.
Now, it's rebounding again and is expected to grow.

"In five years, the number of foreign residents will reach three million and in the long run, will make up 10 percent of the population.
Every year, South Korea's economically active population declines by 3-hundred to 5-hundred-thousand.
Attracting more foreigners will help solve this labor shortage and population decline."

But starting a new life in a brand new country isn't easy.
The biggest obstacles are language and social perception.

"I live in Dobong-gu and there a lot of people don't speak English."

"If I'm in the subway, all the people look at me like how she is a foreigner."

It's even harder if you're planning to stay long term.

"I've never seen a person who moved here because the Korean society is welcoming.
It's been really exclusive to foreigners as it has a long history of cultural, ethnic homogeneity."


"Then what kind of efforts are being made in South Korea to help foreign residents adapt to the country?

One of them is the justice ministry's Korea Immigration and Integration Program.
Designated institutions offer free classes to help foreigners become self-reliant members of society.

"The program has seven levels.
Korean language is taught from level zero to four and those who complete level four have no problem communicating in Korean.
Levels five and six teach Korean culture and society.
Students can apply for permanent residency after level five and naturalization after level six."

But there's still room for improvement.

"When I first came to Korea in the early 2000s, there were very few foreigners living here, so there were barely any relevant laws or policies.
It's been less than two decades since they started developing them, so right now, they're too complicated and all over the place."

To solve this, the government is pushing to launch an immigration agency.

"There's no single, designated body that's in charge of immigration and foreign resident-related affairs.
Installing an agency that's solely in charge will not only increase the efficiency of the immigration and visa process, but also help the country attract more foreign talent into the country."

With South Korea looking to become a more multi-cultural society, relevant efforts should be made to embrace and support those who come here.

2. Gov't and DP clash over latest plans to cut income and corporation taxes

On the second day of the National Assembly's three-day questioning session of Yoon administration officials Tuesday, lawmakers zeroed in on officials from ministries related to economic affairs.
Administration officials and the opposition bloc clashed over proposed income and corporate tax cuts.
Lee Kyung-eun has the details.

Among the most hotly debated topics during the parliamentary hearing on economy-related ministries on Tuesday was the government's latest tax cut plans.
Prime Minister Han Duck-soo called them "inevitable" in order to keep South Korea's growth momentum.
His remarks came in response to criticism from the Democratic Party who said that tax cuts will lead to fewer welfare benefits for the general public.


"If you cut corporation taxes what will happen to public spending for the people who need it?"

"The government has no other option but to take action and reduce business tax burdens especially at a time of high interest and currency rate."

The PM added that tax cuts on corporations had always brought a "trickle down effect" in the country where the prosperity of big companies leads to the growth of small firms and, therefore, more jobs.

Also put under fire was the governmenet's plan to cut income taxes which the DP lawmakers claimed would only benefit the wealthy.
President Yoon's People Power Party gave the finance minister a chance to refute such claims.

"The taxation scheme is designed to bring relatively bigger tax cuts for those in the low to middle income brackets."


Regarding the easing of real estate taxes in a major reversal of the previous administration's policy the PM said it is the most ideal way to normalize the market.


"The key to the housing policy is making sure that homeowners don't become the public enemy.
And the direction should be increasing supply not reducing the demand through excessive taxes."

Despite cuts in tax revenues which some lawmakers raise concerns about the PM said the budget is all precisely calculated in a way that would enable the government to carry out its plans.

"The PM added one of the key top priorities is maintaining financial soundness.
While the national debt to GDP ratio is projected to hit 68 percent at the current pace, but the government's plan is to keep in at 55 percent.
Lee Kyung-eun, Arirang News. "

1. Do you think that tax cut really leads "reduced welfare benefits" ? If so, What do you think about the reduced welfare benefits due to the tax cut? 

2. Have you ever heard of a country with many welfare benefits? 

3.  There is a debate about the billionaire tax in the United States.  Do you think a billionaire or millionaire tax should be introduced in Korea too?

"The Billionaire Minimum Income Tax will require America’s wealthiest households to pay as they go, just like everyone else:

The Billionaire Minimum Income Tax will ensure that the very wealthiest Americans pay a tax rate of at least 20 percent on their full income, including unrealized appreciation."
