Starting August 11, LoL Park will have upgraded security protocols.
Central to these upgrades is a more rigorous inspection of attendees’ belongings upon entry.
A dedicated team of security personnel has been enlisted to safeguard both the arena premises and the surrounding vicinity of LoL Park in Seoul, ensuring the safety of players and fans alike.
Complementing these measures, the esports arena has been equipped with cutting-edge emergency response equipment.
“The league has strengthened security inside and outside the stadium so that the players can concentrate on the game in a safe environment and the fans who come to the venue can cheer with peace of mind,” said LCK Secretary General Lee Jeong-hoon.
Fans can also expect the same protocols to be enacted during the LCK Summer Finals 2023, which will be hosted in Daejeon Metropolitan City. The semifinals will be held at the Daejeon Convention Center, while the finals will take place at the Daejeon Dream Arena.

In early August, there has been a concerning rise in random stabbing incidents within Seoul’s city center. These incidents have been further compounded by the presence of anonymous online threats suggesting the potential for similar attacks.
This surge in threats and acts of violence stands out as highly uncommon in South Korea, a nation renowned for maintaining a notably low crime rate.
