This is the first time a large Christmas tree has been installed at the Yeosu Expo site. Inside the EDG, a total of 190,000 LED bulbs were installed, including three large trees, a tree cluster area and photo zone, and lighting on the connecting bridge.

In particular, warm LED lights were installed on the connecting bridge between International Pavilion Buildings B and D, symbolizing communication that connects the Authority and visitors, as well as neighbors to neighbors.

At the lighting ceremony that day, a splendid lighting ceremony was held with a vigorous countdown chant by congratulatory guests and local residents.

President Park Seong-hyun said, “As we approach the year-end and New Year, I hope we embrace each other and become hope to our neighbors, and let us grow this into a special landmark of Korea together with the local residents.”

Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority has been comprehensively succeeding the Yeosu Expo site since May this year and is performing tasks related to the post-utilization of the Yeosu Expo site.
