Young people reject partisan bickering

The 25th World Scout Jamboree, which began in a sweltering campground atop the reclaimed land of Saemangeum on the coast of North Jeolla Province and ended with a K-pop concert at Seoul World Cup Stadium, leaves much controversy in its wake. Shortly after the opening on Aug. 1, news of extreme heat and unsanitary conditions began to spread on social media. As more Scouts began to suffer from exhaustion and heat stroke, the British and American Scouts left the camp, raising fears that the event would collapse.

To save the event, the South Korean government led a national, local and private-sector efforts to improve the site. Other nations remained at the camp, but Typhoon Khanun would eventually force all Scouts to leave the camp for safe locations around the country. Hoping to end on a high note, the government organized a concert by K-pop stars following the closing ceremony.

Questions abound. Why was Saemangeum, a vast flat area of reclaimed land with no natural shade, chosen as the site? Why did the organizers fail to anticipate the need for shade tents, water and sanitation? Was it acceptable for the government to intervene so aggressively in the K-pop concert for the Scouts? How has the event damaged South South Korea’s reputation?
