Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea (Korean: 2012 여수세계박람회; Hanja: 2012 麗水世界博覽會) was an International Exposition recognized by the International Exhibitions Bureau (BIE) held in Yeosu, South Korea which opened May 12, 2012 and ran until August 12, 2012.[1] The theme of the Expo was “The Living Ocean and Coast” with subthemes of “Preservation and Sustainable Development of the Ocean and Coast,” “New Resources Technology,” and “Creative Marine Activities.” The organizers anticipated participation of more than 100 countries and international organizations, and 8 million visitors.

The Expo 2012 Yeosu opened on May 12 in the southern coastal town of Yeosu, approximately 455 kilometers south of Seoul. It was the second international fair hosted by Korea, after the Taejŏn Expo '93.

The entire expo site for 80 exhibition halls stretches out alongside the sea with promenades and exhibit spaces extending all the way to the island of Odongdo and the seawalls.

The Yeosu Expo also received positive comments for addressing global issues like climate change and the protection of the ocean through story-telling events.

Theme, Vision, and Goals

Theme

The Living Ocean and Coast: Diversity of Resources and Sustainable Development

Background of Theme

  • The Expo theme aimed to help shed light on humankind’s knowledge and advancement of technology concerning the ocean and coast and identify ways to resolve challenges facing the ocean.[1] Since the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea went into effect in 1993, the ocean has emerged as an important element in resolving various problems humankind faces, including those related to resources, food, space and the environment. However, industrial activities have damaged the marine ecosystem and subsequently reduced fish stocks. As a result, the ocean faces severe crisis. A damaged marine ecosystem, global warming and natural disasters are not limited to a certain country or region, but are issues that have global implications.
  • Yeosu Expo’s theme, “The Living Ocean and Coast,” was divided into three sub-themes: Development and Preservation of the Ocean and Coast, New Resources Technology, and Creative Marine Activities. These sub-themes have been further developed into 6 thematic groups, namely, Climate & Environment, Marine Life, Marine Industry & Technology, Marine City and Marine Civilization, and Marine Arts, each of which are [needs update] demonstrated in their respective sub-theme pavilions.

Subthemes

  • Development and Preservation of the Ocean and Coast
    • This sub-theme aimed to inspire a new level of cooperation in the international community so as to combat climate change and create a paradigm where development and preservation find a better balance.
    • The last few decades have witnessed environmental degradation caused by use and development of natural resources by humankind. Our economies and societies must break away from their current fossil fuel-based economies to minimize damage to both people and the environment. The sub theme argued [needs update] that individuals, businesses, countries and the global community must realize that marine resources are limited and should not be subject to careless use, but that they are the fundamentals for the sound development of our future society, and people and ecosystems must be considered on the same level.
  • New Resources Technology
    • This sub-theme illustrated the progress and future prospects of marine technology, a new growth driver for the advancement of humankind.
    • Countries are becoming more competitive in marine-related industries and are developing new technologies to address issues related to resources and the changing environment. The discreet use of resources, which strikes a balance between development and preservation, is only possible if based on advanced marine science and technology. Fostering marine industries will create added value and generate new jobs to transform sluggish industries into low cost, high efficiency structures.
  • Creative Maritime Activities
    • This sub-theme aimed to demonstrate the relationship between the oceans and humankind through culture and art and promote the new ideals of the seatizen and seavilization.
    • A mix of play and experience (edutainment) aimed to trigger the imagination and curiosity of attendees towards an unknown world and to inspire children to learn to love and appreciate the oceans. A wide collection of marine-related culture and arts, including poetry, novels, films, operas, musicals, plays and music were shown at the Yeosu Expo.

    • Act 3 - Realizing Korea's Maritime Capacity

Exhibition Hall 2 (Sea of Hope)

  • When visitors exit Exhibition Hall 1, they move on to Exhibition Hall 2.
  • Exhibits in the hall portray Korea's potential future role in maritime era.[5]
  • This hall has diverse features and one of notable architecture is world's largest dome screen.[5]

It was anticipated that the International Pavilions section will occupy the exhibition space's largest physical area. This section of the Expo provided an opportunity for participating countries to plan and hold their exhibitions. Themed quarters were displayed in the International Pavilions exhibition, consisting of the "Sea of Life", "Sea of Exchange", "Sea of Peace", and "Sea of Land". There were total of four buildings (A, B, C, and D) each with several exhibition rooms for participating countries.[6]

Theme Pavilion

The core concept of the Expo was "The Living Ocean and Coast”.[25] Human life not only embraces space, time, culture, science, technology, and occidental and oriental ideas, but also the ecosystems and humankind. In the tradition of previous expos (Zaragoza Expo’s “Water”, Lisbon Expo’s “Sea”, and “Future heritage”), the organizers of Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea have expressed an intention to innovate and progress beyond the concepts of the event's history.

Aquarium, the Marine Life Pavilion

Based upon the notion that marine life is the source of all life, the exhibition sought to present the diversity of the earth's marine resources, as well as the viability of their continuous use and development by humankind. Visitors observe[needs update] the sea as a "treasure house" of biodiversity and, by highlighting our mutual relationship with the sea, the importance of preserving the marine environment is emphasized. The aquarium built in Expo 2012 is so far Korea's largest aquarium.[26] It houses more than over 34,000 marine animals of 281 species and is divided into three main areas: Marine Life, Aqua Forest, and Ocean Life.[27]

Marine Life

  • This area mostly shows marine animals that live in coastal regions.
  • Animals such as belugas, Baikal seals, penguins, otters, sea lions and elephant seals live here.[27]

Aqua Forest

  • One unexpected feature in the aquarium is the presence of artificially made Amazon Jungle.
  • Although it does not completely mimic the actual jungle, it houses over 100 species of tropical creatures.[27]

Ocean Life

  • The last area has astonishing 360 view of the aquarium water tank.[27]
  • As visitors walk through the tunnel made up of transparent and durable materials, they can view the marine animals swimming above them.
  • Unlike Marine Life area, it has over 200 species of marine animals, including huge sharks, rays, sardines, sea turtles and jellyfish from different oceans of the world.[27]

Other than wondrous marine organisms, there is a 3-D movie theater that shows short animation clip as well.[26] Although aquarium is free-of-charge, 3-D movie costs money to watch it.[26] At one time, aquarium can only allow 1,620 people inside and takes 60 minutes on average to fully view it.[27]

Expo Digital Gallery

One of the most astonishing structure in Expo 2012 is Expo Digital Gallery. It is a gigantic LED screen that is attached at the bottom of the ceiling.[26] It is a rectangular LED screen 218 meters wide and 30 meters long. This is equivalent to 6,324 units of 60 inch TVs.[26] When pedestrians walks under the huge screen, they are able to see various animations played within the LED screen. What is even surprising is that visitors who have smartphones are able to take a picture, add a message, and send it to the screen so that it can be displayed on the screen.[26]

Expo Town

The Expo Town was originally developed as an exemplary model of an ecologically-sound coastal city, for use as a testing ground for "green" home projects. The organizers modified this section to display ocean-themed "timeshares" and premium dwelling places for the future beyond the Expo.

Yeosu Declaration

Yeosu Declaration is to demand the international response to the situation such as pollution and overfishing, that preservation for the ocean and sustainable development is threatened. It emphasized the importance of international cooperation and feasible actions for solving problems in ocean. Yeosu Declaration was [citation needed] chosen during the Expo and supported by the international society which seeks sustainable development.

Yeosu Project

Under the Yeosu Project, the government of South Korea had planned to spend around $10 million to fund educational programs in developing countries and to fund the visit of professionals from developing countries to South Korea. This training and education was planned to focus on the protection of marine ecosystems and on sustainable development.[28]

Performances

Other than pavilions and exhibition buildings, Yeosu Expo held various indoor and outdoor performances to further entertain its visitors. Such performances involved water shows, parades, concerts involving pop stars from other countries, movies, and theatricals. For each event, the location varies and has meaningful messages to portray to the audiences. Some are performed multiple times while others are performed once. These diverse events not only allow the visitors to enjoy their time to the fullest but also allow them to realize the reasons for holding Yeosu Expo 2012.

Water Shows

  • The Big-O Show: The Big-O show is the main performance on water and it is one of the must-watch performances in Yeosu Expo 2012. The show is not performed by people but rather by a gigantic donut-shaped machine that is capable of igniting explosive fires, spraying seawater, and shining lights of different colors at many directions. The machine is 120 meters wide and has 345 water nozzles.[26] In addition, there are numerous small water fountains at the bottom that shoot the seawater upwards to more than 70 meters.[26] The hollow circle in the middle of the machine is used to display the animated video. Instead of using a projector with a screen, the machine uses holograms generated by the machine and water falling from top of the machine as the screen.[26] Special effects such as the lights, water, and fire are displayed accordingly to the mood of the video. The plot of the video involves a female protagonist who explores the sea. The main theme is peace, cooperation, and hope, and the video attempts to explain how sea is the origin of all life, how humans are polluting it for their own benefits, and what people can do in order to conserve it.[A][29] Big-O show is held only once in the evening from Sunday to Thursday and held two times at evening from Friday to Saturday. Because it is held only few times and it is such an important and beautiful show, there are always an enormous amount of people waiting to see it. There are multiple security measures as well because there aren't enough seats to occupy all the audiences.

Events
