In particular, additional safety education was conducted ahead of Halloween Day. The district emphasized safety guidelines to be observed during the Halloween period, advising the dispersal of waiting areas to prevent obstruction of pedestrian traffic by those waiting to enter clubs, and provided guidance on managing crowd density to prevent excessive indoor occupancy.

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo District, stated, “Clubs in the Hongdae area play an important role in forming the unique and vibrant culture of Red Road. With up to 100,000 visitors expected daily during Halloween and the year-end season, safety is the top priority. Since accidents can occur instantaneously on site, cooperation in on-site safety management is urgently needed.”
