"Another Jamboree Crisis?" Concerns Raised Over 70 Billion Won Yeosu Expo

The following news is about whether 70 billion won was poured into what looks like a luxury vinyl greenhouse?

This is the story of the Yeosu World Island Expo, which started a short time ago.

It is being held for two months with a target of 3 million visitors, but reports indicate that warning lights have flashed for its box office success right from the early days of its opening.

During the opening weekend on the 5th and 6th, the number of visitors to the event site was tallied at approximately 35,000.

Considering that the opening ceremony also featured celebratory performances by popular singers, evaluations suggest it is a disappointing turnout.

Some visitors even complained that there was so little to see that it took less than an hour to look around the entire main venue and even have a meal.

Regarding the exhibition halls built in the form of reinforced tent structures at the main venue, there were sarcastic reactions calling them "luxury vinyl greenhouses."

As for the pyramid-shaped thematic island created as a landmark, media facades were continuously displayed on the walls to encourage visitors to take verification photos.

However, criticisms point out that the internal exhibition contents fall short of expectations.

On social media, people brought up the fact that over 70 billion won was poured into the event, raising criticisms such as calling it "another Jamboree" and demanding post-event inspections, including audits, after the expo concludes.
