The Baseball Stadium Echoes "Bring It to Busan!" ... 50 Days Until the 2030 World Expo Host Decision

On the 9th at 2 p.m., Busan City will hold a unique promotional cheering event at the Seoul Jamsil Sports Complex, where the professional baseball game between the Lotte Giants and LG Twins takes place, marking D-50 days until the decision on hosting the 2030 Busan World Expo.

This promotion was specially prepared to further heighten nationwide enthusiasm for the bid on the occasion of D-50 days before the decision on hosting the 2030 Busan World Expo, and to maintain support for the bid until the host country announcement at the end of November.

In particular, a cheering video for the D-50 bid decision by popular singer CHUU will also be released on the 2030 Busan World Expo SNS channels on the same day.

Still cut from the support video for the 50-day countdown to the decision on hosting the 2030 Busan World Expo.

First, using part of section 223 (rows 15?16) in the stadium, a card section prepared directly by the metropolitan area university student supporters for the 2030 Busan World Expo bid will be presented, delivering messages wishing for the successful bid.

The card section, containing the cheer phrase ‘D-50, Busan is good for EXPO’ planned and designed by 20 university student supporters, will demonstrate the nationwide passion and sincerity for the bid.

Next, active promotional marketing will be conducted using the professional baseball broadcast channel (KBSN) and the 2030 Busan World Expo social media platforms.

Especially during the golden holiday, the lively scene of many citizens gathered at the baseball stadium united in support of the 2030 Busan World Expo bid will be broadcast through the professional baseball broadcast channel (KBSN) and the 2030 Busan World Expo social media (SNS) channels.

The Lotte Giants cheerleader squad will also communicate with the on-site audience and hold a cheering event composed of ▲ Expo song ‘Keep Going’ dance time ▲ chanting the bid slogan ‘Bring the 2030 World Expo to Busan!’ ▲ and a wave cheer wishing for the bid’s success.

The Lotte Giants cheerleader squad will wear ‘BUSAN EXPO KEEP GOING’ T-shirts and perform the group dance they have practiced to the Expo song ‘Keep Going’ for the first time on this day.

Under the cheerleader captain’s direction, a special moment will be held where the on-site audience joins in shouting the bid wish slogan ‘Bring the 2030 Busan World Expo to Busan!’

Also, using the representative cheering culture of the baseball stadium, a ‘bid wish’ wave cheer will be performed, making all citizens part of the 2030 Busan World Expo supporters and creating an exciting cheering event.

In particular, the baseball game held on the D-50 day of the bid decision is between the Lotte Giants, who have a solid fandom, and the LG Twins, who won the regular season this year, so it is expected to have high viewership, and this promotion is anticipated to lead to a nationwide bid boom.

The city explained that the promotional venue is held in the metropolitan area, not Busan, to once again emphasize that the 2030 Busan World Expo is not just a regional event unique to Busan but a national project that will change the future of the Republic of Korea.

Additionally, a special quiz event will be held to mark D-50 of the bid decision. Participants who express the four words inside the parentheses of the phrase ‘Busan is good for∼’ correctly and submit the answer will be entered into a draw to receive a small souvenir.

It is expected to promote Busan’s city slogan as a candidate city for the 2030 World Expo and raise awareness of the 2030 Busan World Expo.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, “The 9th is a special day, being both Hangeul Day, a national holiday to honor the excellence of the Korean alphabet, and 50 days before the announcement of the 2030 Busan World Expo bid decision.” He added, “I sincerely thank the citizens for their warm interest, passionate support, and confident backing that have brought us to this point for the 2030 Busan World Expo bid.”

He continued, “We hope to achieve a two run homerun moment by successfully hosting the 2030 Busan World Expo on November 28, becoming the first in Korea to hold a registered expo and simultaneously becoming the seventh host country to have held all three of the world’s top mega events (Olympics, World Cup, World Expo).”

“The Korean government and our city will continue to do our best until the final moment of the bid decision in November by promoting the values and spirit of the 2030 Busan World Expo to the world through various promotional activities,” he said.
