Known for its high-energy atmosphere and enthusiastic crowds, PSY’s signature summer concert took place on July 6 at the World Cup Stadium. The Gwangju Fire Department reported that 78 concertgoers suffered from heat exhaustion. While most were treated on-site, four individuals required hospitalization.
