Busan City (Mayor Park Hyung-jun) will hold the ‘Beach Radio Expo 2030’ campaign on the evening of the 20th at 8:30 PM on the sandy beach of Gwangalli Beach to cheer in real-time for the 4th competitive presentation for the 2030 World Expo bid.

This campaign was organized to cheer together with citizens in real-time for the historic 4th competitive presentation of the 2030 Busan World Expo bid, which will take place at the 171st General Assembly of the International Bureau of Expositions (BIE) in Paris, France on the 20th.

The campaign venue, Gwangalli Beach, is a symbolic location where the fireworks show praying for the success of the 2030 Busan World Expo bid was held last April, concluding the on-site inspection by the BIE delegation with high praise.

The city plans to once again demonstrate Busan’s passionate desire to host the Expo through this campaign, and the event time is set at 8:30 PM to emphasize the significance of ‘2030.’

The campaign will be divided into two parts: the ‘Beach Radio Event,’ modeled after a visible radio format, and the ‘Cheering Event,’ where attendees watch and cheer for the 4th competitive presentation live on a large LED screen.

The first part, the Beach Radio Event, will run from 8:30 PM to 10:00 PM. During this event, a radio host will explain the significance of the 2030 Busan World Expo bid and the 4th competitive presentation, and share stories from citizens related to the 2030 Busan World Expo.

Additionally, to engage the audience, street performances by Busan indie bands will be held, and meaningful promotional videos produced to raise awareness of the 2030 Busan World Expo will be screened.

In particular, just before the competitive presentation begins, citizen participation events such as quizzes related to the World Expo will be held on-site to boost the cheering atmosphere.

The second part, the Cheering Event, will take place from 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM. The 4th competitive presentation by the International Bureau of Expositions (BIE) will be broadcast live on a large LED screen installed on the sandy beach in front of Minrakhoe Center, and cheering citizens can use distributed glow bracelets to send ‘the light of support all the way to Paris.’ Korean simultaneous interpretation for the 4th competitive presentation will be provided at the cheering event venue.

The 4th competitive presentation for the 2030 World Expo bid is scheduled to begin at 10:35 PM local time (3:35 PM Paris time) that evening.

City spokesperson Na Yoon-bin said, “The enthusiasm of the candidate countries preparing for the 4th competitive presentation, which will be a turning point not only for our country but also for the 2030 Busan World Expo bid, is very intense. Through this campaign, we will once again introduce the meaning and purpose of the 2030 Busan World Expo bid to citizens and gather the passionate support of Busan citizens, who received praise from the inspection team with the phrase ‘Amazing, Busan!,’ into a light of encouragement to send to Paris.”

Along with this campaign, civic groups will also hold a ‘2030 Busan World Expo Bid Support Rally’ at 9:00 PM on the 20th at the outdoor plaza of Songsanghyeon Square.

This event is jointly hosted by the 2030 Busan World Expo Women’s Promotion Council, the 2030 Busan World Expo Citizen Supporters, and the 2030 Busan World Expo Citizen Participation Coalition. Anyone can participate and enjoy the support performance by Dong-A University’s cheering squad and watch the live broadcast of the 4th competitive presentation.
