Yeosu Criticized for Sending Official Notice to 'Muzzle' Taxi Drivers Over Island Expo According to Yeosu City yesterday , the city recently sent an official document to local taxi companies titled "Request for Education on Prohibiting Taxi Workers from Spreading Rumors Related to the 2026 Yeosu World Island Expo." In the notice, Yeosu City stated, "There is public opinion that drivers are spreading rumors, such as claims that preparations for the Island Expo are inadequate." It added, "We judge that dissatisfaction over a decrease in revenue among drivers may be manifesting as rumor-spreading behavior." Comparing individual revenue over a nine-day period from the first to the second weekend of September last year and this year, the city claimed, "While no revenue decline was observed, we believe that the failure to see a noticeable surge in income compared to high expectations for a special boom may have led to dissatisfaction." The city also requested that companies educate their transport workers to refrain from spreading rumors and instead promote the event's goals and purpose, noting that their income would increase if the Island Expo succeeds.
