The outline of the lineup for the Jamboree K-pop Concert, which had been embroiled in controversy over its lineup including NU'EST, ITZY, NCT, MAMAMOO, is now becoming clear.
On the 8th, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism officially announced, "One of the main events of the 2023 Saemangeum World Scout Jamboree, the K-pop concert, will take place on the 11th at 7 p.m. at Seoul's Mapo-gu World Cup Stadium."
Originally scheduled to be held on an outdoor stage at Saemangeum on the 6th, the concert's date was changed to the 11th in Jeonju due to ongoing concerns about heat-related illnesses. Furthermore, with the added threat of Typhoon Kanoon approaching, the final location was confirmed to be Seoul's Sangam World Cup Stadium.
In particular, artists like IVE, Zerobase One, ENHYPEN, STAYC & TEAM, BERRYBERRY, Lee Chaeyeon, E'LAST, Nature, ATBO, and Circus were initially included in the concert lineup. However, following the confirmation of the schedule change, groups like ENHYPEN, BERRYBERRY, STAYC, and others decided not to participate.
Subsequently, KBS 9 o'clock news reported that artists like NU'EST, ITZY, NCT DREAM, and MAMAMOO have been confirmed to perform. The final lineup will be revealed later. Additionally, with KBS 2TV, responsible for broadcasting the concert, having decided to cancel 'Music Bank,' there is a possibility of further lineup changes.
Please note that this is a translation and some nuances may be lost in the process.
