The measure is intended to ensure the drones can fly safely and prevent accidents involving spectators, as rain and strong winds are forecast for the day of the event.


The city plans to present the postponed drone show as a festival for public participation in conjunction with year-end seasonal events. It said it would confirm and announce the specific date and venue after reviewing event conditions and safety measures.



Pocheon Mayor Baek Young-hyun said, "We ask for the understanding of the residents and tourists who have been looking forward to the drone light show that was to cap the Garden Festa. We will make safety our top priority, prepare thoroughly, and repay you with a drone light show that will brightly illuminate the year-end night sky."
