Considering the large crowds, Hanwha Corporation will operate an upgraded safety management system using the smartphone app 'Orange Safety,' introduced last year. By linking with telecommunications companies, real-time crowd density will be measured, and the deployment status of safety personnel will be monitored to encourage crowd dispersion and ensure a safe festival experience. A comprehensive situation room will be established in cooperation with related organizations such as Yeongdeungpo District Office, Fire and Disaster Headquarters, and Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency to enable prompt response through close collaboration.
For citizens unable to visit the site, the emotional experience of the fireworks festival will be delivered through online live streaming. Hanwha Corporation will broadcast the Yeouido fireworks show live on its official YouTube channel 'HanwhaTV,' and in nearby areas where the fireworks are visible but the music cannot be heard, the smartphone app 'Orange Play' will provide real-time themed music streaming services.
