On the 28th, just hours before the vote to decide the host city for the 2030 World Expo, a citizen performed a demonstration in Gwanghwamun Square, Seoul, hoping for the successful bid of Busan Expo.

On the afternoon of the 28th, at the 173rd BIE General Assembly held in Paris, the final presentations (PT) and the vote to decide the host city for the 2030 World Expo will take place. The competition is among three candidates: Busan, South Korea; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; and Rome, Italy.

If no candidate receives two-thirds or more of the votes in the first round, a runoff vote will be held between the first and second place cities.
