Jamboree British members 'human rights abuses' to BBC, UK 'better accommodation' vs Korea 'cold water supply' withdrawal

In response to Korea's ban on direct contact with the press to members participating in the Jamboree, British participants spoke to the British BBC, and the British Scout League negotiated 'withdrawal if not better accommodation', but the Korean government withdrew only for 'cold water supply' has been decided
The British BBC directly interviewed members of the British Scout Federation who requested anonymity and said, “The heat has prevented any activity, and some people with special dietary needs are not being provided with food,” the BBC reported. did.

An underage British member testified on the spot to the BBC about 'human rights violations by the Korean Organizing Committee'.
"The situation was so bad that she put her daughter on a flight back to England on the 4th," a participating parent told the BBC. "The organization does not exist at this event."
As errors continued to occur on the first day of the event, the Korean Organizing Committee announced on the 3rd that it would not allow reporters to cover the participants, except for the condition of “two adults participating in member coverage”.
In the Korean media, on-site “situation statements” by direct coverage of the participants were completely eliminated, and publicity articles announcing the “active response” of the participants and photos of “participation in the experience program” by the Governor of North Jeolla Province, who is the chairman of the organizing committee, became the mainstream.

In the Korean media, promotional articles in which the provincial governor speaks and informs on behalf of members have become mainstream through newspaper and broadcast appearances.
The British Boy Scouts and Organizing Committee's negotiations on 'improvement of the camp site' broke down on the 4th, when Britain demanded 'better accommodation conditions' and proposed 'withdrawal' if impossible, and the Korean bureaucrat-led Organizing Committee agreed to the 'unlimited supply of ice water' ordered by the President. However, the proposal failed, and the BBC later reported a 'decision to withdraw'.
On the 4th, President Yoon said, “Supply an unlimited number of air-conditioned buses and refrigerated and frozen trucks that can supply cold bottled water.” ", and the State Council decided to invest 6.6 billion won in reserve funds.
As a countermeasure, the power of the people ▲Explained government measures to diplomatic missions and foreign media ▲Explained active response to foreign governments and the resolution of parental concerns of participants, revealing’strengthening control of government publicity injection to foreign media’, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs attempted a response TF at the deputy ministerial level .
Prime Minister Han Deok-soo said, "From now on, the central government of the Republic of Korea will step forward and take responsibility for safety management and smooth running of the Games until the last participant leaves Saemangeum."
Afterwards, Britain, which dispatched 4,300 people, the largest number among the 158 participating countries, notified on the 4th that it would withdraw from the camp.
A British scout representative came to the organizing committee this afternoon and said, "We will withdraw from the camp unless better accommodation conditions are met."
The Organizing Committee responded by saying, “We are working hard, and better conditions are difficult,” and negotiations broke down, after which reports of the BBC’s withdrawal came out.
The Organizing Committee told the Korean media, "The British Scout Federation requested better accommodation conditions. Although they did not mention specific requirements, they did say that they would withdraw for two days if they were not met."
In response, the Organizing Committee relayed, "The Organizing Committee is working hard, and better conditions are difficult." The Organizing Committee is doing its best, such as supplying ice water.
At the Jamboree, which began with the common accommodation culture of Indians and where ‘sukyoung’ was the key, the Korean government and organizing committee responded with ‘refrigerated trucks and refrigerated buses’.
Lou Paulson, chairman of the Boy Scouts of America, said on the 5th, "The key is the weather, but considering what we've been through, the expected weather, and the capacity of the campground, we made a decision to properly care for the youth." It is supposed to go back," he said.
From the very first day, the Americans stayed in the accommodations on the US military base and ate food provided by the US military.
American Chairman Paulson revealed on the 3rd that "the Jamboree Organizing Committee requested that the arrival be delayed for one day in order to better maintain the campsite," showing that the Korean Organizing Committee was 'providing preferential treatment' to the United States.
The Korean government invested 100 billion won in the Jamboree attraction, putting the ‘10 trillion won economic effect’ at the forefront.
