This event is a citizen participation event designed to raise public interest and participation in the bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo and to promote the importance and ripple effects of hosting the World Expo. It is led by the 범여성추진협의회, launched last September, and Busan City women's organizations.

The event will be attended by about 200 people, including Mayor Park Hyungjun, Song Sookhee, the city’s special women's advisor, Park Eunha, executive chairperson of the 범시민유치위, representatives of women's organizations, and citizens. The program includes ▲pre-event performance (group dance to the Expo song) ▲opening and congratulatory speeches ▲Golden Bell cram session ▲Expo Golden Bell quiz contest ▲awards ceremony and commemorative photo session.

The main event, the "Expo Golden Bell Quiz Contest," will feature over 100 quiz questions related to the World Expo, including OX quizzes, to determine the winner. Anyone can participate regardless of whether they join as a group or individually.

Among the participants, one grand prize winner, five excellence awardees, and ten merit awardees will be selected and given commemorative prizes. All participants will receive Expo promotional souvenirs.

Before the Golden Bell contest, there will be a cram session led by the Expo’s "top instructor" for citizens, allowing participants to study expected questions in advance, thereby increasing focus and interest in the contest.

Park Eunha, executive chairperson of the 범시민유치위원회, said, "It is very encouraging that citizens, especially women’s groups, are actively participating in the bid for the 2030 Busan World Expo ahead of the International Bureau of Expositions’ inspection." She added, "Today’s event will be a great opportunity to showcase Busan City’s capacity to host the Expo, with its autonomous and mature members."

Mayor Park Hyungjun said, "I once again feel that Busan is a city full of citizens’ will and enthusiasm to host the 2030 World Expo." He asked for citizens’ continued support and participation, saying, "Please join us until the successful bid and hosting of the 2030 Busan World Expo, carrying today’s passion forward."

The 범여성추진협의회, which organizes the citizen Golden Bell contest, has been holding the Expo Women’s Academy twice a month jointly with the 범시민유치위원회 since its launch on September 20 last year. It is actively engaged in promotional activities such as nationwide women’s promotional delegations, signature campaigns for the Expo bid, and distribution of Expo promotional vehicle stickers.
