SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean officials have promised to provide plenty of clean toilets at an all-star K-pop concert for young scouts on Friday, hoping that the show will salvage their experience after a disastrous jamboree.

A lack of sanitation was one of the reasons cited by contingents from the United States and Britain when they pulled out of the World Scout Jamboree, along with heat-related injuries and other issues. The campsite was fully evacuated on Tuesday as a tropical storm approached.
