In the South Korean capital, the crowds were overwhelming. Around 22,000 fans secured free seats directly in front of the stage, while tens of thousands more followed the concert on giant screens in the surrounding area. Overall, the authorities estimated that some 260,000 people were heading towards the venue, one of the city’s best-known historic squares.
