Psy announced that the summer concert, which had been suspended due to COVID-19, would be resumed after 3 years, but there is a debate among netizens.
Psy's summer concert is a concept that blows away the sweltering heat while being bathed in pouring water.
Psy appeared on an entertainment program and said that the water used for the concert is drinkable water, and about 300 tons are used per episode.
While some fans cannot hide their anticipation at the news that the summer concert will resume, there are also voices criticizing the use of vast amounts of water.
This is due to the recent severe drought.
The nationwide precipitation for the past six months was less than half of the normal year, and in particular, last month was only 6.1% of the normal year, raising concerns about crop damage.
Among the netizens, opinions such as 'The drought is serious but it is inappropriate to throw water on the floor for fun' and 'If it's a Psy concert, it will be fun enough without needing to spray water'
. Some say, 'The door should be closed' and 'It is an excessive criticism that water is being used after paying a fair amount of money'.
