The Goyang International Flower Expo Foundation (Chairman: Lee Donghwan) invited over 200 guests, including journalists, influencers, and citizen reporters, to showcase the expo's preparation process and main exhibition content. This year, the organizers paid particular attention to maximizing publicity by dividing the sessions into morning and afternoon slots, taking into account the different coverage styles of media outlets and creators.

The theme of this year's expo is "Flowers, Coloring Time." The event goes beyond simply viewing flowers—one of its unique aspects is weaving the entire venue into a single narrative of "past, present, and future."

At the site, Mayor Lee Donghwan stated, "This year's Flower Expo is characterized by a significant expansion of interactive content, allowing visitors to immerse themselves and participate directly. With the 'Time Traveler's Garden' as the centerpiece, the whole venue is structured as a continuous story connecting the past, present, and future. We have also combined digital experiences with emotional content to create a truly memorable 'expo of a lifetime' for everyone."

Afterwards, a site tour was conducted where Mayor Lee, event officials, and members of the media toured the key exhibition areas to experience the core content of the expo firsthand.

The 2026 Goyang International Flower Expo will be held at Ilsan Lake Park and its surrounding area from April 24 through May 10. This year, under the theme "Flowers, Coloring Time," the expansive 250,000-square-meter venue is filled with outdoor gardens, indoor exhibitions, performances and events, and a flower market.

In particular, the outdoor theme plaza, "Time Traveler's Garden," features a rotating spherical flower sculpture as its main installation (13 meters high, 26 meters wide). Other attractions include "Bitdam Garden," a light-filled path along the metasequoia tree-lined avenue; "Garden of Heart's Temperature," designed to offer peace of mind; and the "Flower Therapy Garden," filled with lush trees and plants.

The excitement continues inside the exhibition halls. Rare plants such as giant roses and ice tulips, as well as new floral varieties from Korea and abroad, are on display and are expected to captivate both experts and general visitors alike.

An expo official commented, "This event, blending flowers and the passage of time, will be the perfect place for families, couples, and friends to create unforgettable memories together."
