Initially slated for August 6 at an open-air Saemangeum stadium, the event was beset by the sweltering heat wave and safety apprehensions, prompting a delay to August 11. Initially selecting the Jeonbuk World Cup Stadium as the alternate venue, the event's setting shifted to the Seoul World Cup Stadium as the Jamboree campsite was relocated to Seoul due to Typhoon Khanun's threat.

On August 9, the 2023 World Scout Jamboree Organizing Committee, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, officially disclosed that Gong Myung, Yuna from ITZY, and Hyein from NewJeans will helm the event as its new MCs.

Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Park Bo Gyoon, also emphasized, "The assemblage of 18 outstanding teams confirmed to perform at the 'K-Pop Super Live' has been finalized. These eminent artists will vividly epitomize the essence and allure of K-culture during a concert uniting 40,000 youthful scouts from 150 nations worldwide."

The newly revealed roster comprises of NewJeans, IVE, NCT DREAM, ITZY, MAMAMOO, THE BOYZ, MONSTA X's Shownu X Hyungwon, fromis_9, ZEROBASEONE, Kang Daniel, Kwon Eun Bi, Jo Yu Ri, P1Harmony, KARD, THE NEW SIX (TNX), ATBO, xikers, Libelante, and the dance ensemble HolyBang.

Although uncertainties once surrounded IVE's participation owing to the event's rescheduling, Minister Park Bo Gyoon from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism shared, "To uphold their commitment to the concert [initially set for August 6], IVE willingly reconfigured their other scheduled engagements."

The 25th World Scout Jamboree's "K-Pop Super Live" is now slated for August 11, set to captivate audiences within the captivating environs of Seoul World Cup Stadium.
