[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Busan City will hold a special program called "Expo Hour" to promote the bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo during the "2022 Busan One Asia Festival K-POP Concert" from 8:00 PM to 8:10 PM on the 30th.

The "2022 Busan One Asia Festival K-POP Concert" will take place at 7:00 PM on the 30th at the main stadium of Busan Asiad.

About 40,000 domestic and international Hallyu fans are expected to attend, with 13 famous idol groups showcasing a spectacular stage.

"Expo Hour" is an event linked to this concert where the future generations of Korea and the world participating in the concert come together as the leading figures of the 2030 World Expo to strengthen their determination to host the 2030 Busan World Expo and to spread the enthusiasm for the bid.

Considering the significance of the "2022 Busan One Asia Festival," an Asian representative cultural content event featuring top domestic idols and rookie idols who will lead the new wave of Hallyu, "Expo Hour" will also actively promote the bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo by introducing Busan’s "present" and "future."

To enhance the program’s immersion, the city will hold "Expo Hour" right before the main performance starts at 8:00 PM. All participants will join in cheering "Bring the 2030 Busan World Expo to Busan," reinforcing their determination for the bid.

▲ 2030 Busan World Expo themed dance performance (Dance Crew H Team) ▲ Bid support drone show (featuring the official emblem, etc.) ▲ Fireworks show wishing for the bid, and other diverse contents will be presented to further maximize the enthusiasm for the bid.

In August, the city appointed 50 university student supporters from the Seoul metropolitan area to spread nationwide enthusiasm for the bid, engaging in various promotional activities such as discovering and producing expo promotional content and uploading it on personal social media.

As part of these promotional efforts, the city and the Seoul metropolitan area university student supporters will hold an "Expo Theme Mission" at Busan Citizens Park on the 29th.

Linked with the One Asia Festival Park Concert event held at the same time and place, activities such as ▲ Expo plogging ▲ promotional booths ▲ citizen interviews will be conducted, and various souvenirs (cushion blankets, tumblers) will be provided to visitors and citizens who visit the promotional booths.

Through this, a nationwide consensus for the bid will be formed, and the enthusiasm for the bid will be raised to the maximum.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, "Welcome to dynamic and creative Busan, and I hope the city of Busan becomes a memorable festival ground for global Hallyu fans around the world," adding, "As Busan, the planned host city for the 2030 World Expo, is expected to play a key role in growing as the center of Hallyu, I ask once again for your interest and support so that the 2030 Busan World Expo can be successfully hosted."
