"Another Jamboree Crisis?"…A 70 Billion-Won Luxury Vinyl Greenhouse?

This story is about a 70 billion-won project ending up looking like a luxury vinyl greenhouse.

It is about the Yeosu World Island Expo, which kicked off recently.

Running for two months with a target of 3 million visitors, red lights have turned on for its box-office success right from the early days of its opening.

During the opening weekend on September 5 and 6, the number of visitors at the venue was tallied at around 35,000.

Considering that the opening ceremony featured celebratory performances by popular singers, critics say it is a disappointing turnout.

Some visitors even gave harsh reviews, saying that it took less than an hour to look around the entire main venue and have a meal, as there was not much to see.

Mocking reactions such as "luxury vinyl greenhouse" were also directed at the exhibition halls installed in the form of reinforced tent structures at the main venue.

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

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

Mentioning that the event cost over 70 billion won to stage, social media users raised criticisms, calling it "another Jamboree" and demanding post-event inspections, including an audit, after the expo concludes.
