The 2023 World Scout Jamboree was full of controversy, from its disastrous opening day, where children suffered from heatstrokes, to relocating 36,000 Scouts due to Typhoon Khanun. The K-Pop concert was a highly anticipated event among the Scouts and Korea, but the lack of preparation and the attempts to save face by inviting K-Pop idols to perform last minute made Korean netizens angry.

Before the K-POP SUPER LIVE concert took place, the schedule for the concert was posted to online communities. The sheet showed the schedule of the order of performances and which songs the artists will perform.

The cue sheet showed that the concert was split into two parts. Part one had HolyBang, THE BOYZ, THE NEW SIX, ATBO, Xikers, Jo Yuri, KARD, P1Harmony, and Libelante. Part two had ZEROBASEONE, NewJeans, Kwon Eunbi, fromis_9, Kang DanielSHOWNU X HYUNGWON, IVE, ITZY, MAMAMOO, and NCT Dream. At the end was a joint performance with all the K-Pop acts.

What netizens couldn’t help but notice was the last song on the list. It was a song for all the performers to sing together as the closing song, but Korean netizens did not like the song choice. It was the 1998 song “Balloons,” originally by the band Five Fingers.

It was made re-popular when TVXQ remade it in 2006.

At the K-POP SUPER LIVE, all the K-Pop idols who performed joined together to sing this song.

“Balloons” is a song about reminiscing the innocent and imaginative childhood days when one used to dream about riding a balloon and flying in the sky. As it’s a song about the preciousness of youth, whoever chose this as the last song may have thought it fit well with the stadium of young Jamboree Scouts.

However, despite the meaningful song, many Korean netizens believed this was a random song and thought they should have chosen a song that represents Korea, and everybody knows. Some thought the idols should be sent home instead of being forced to wait to perform this song at the end. Others laughed at the song choice.
