Expo 2025, which will take place from April 13 to October 13 on the artificial island of Yumeshima in western Osaka, is set to explore the theme "Designing Future Society for Our Lives."
South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, in collaboration with KOTRA, is overseeing the construction of the Korean Pavilion, a three-story structure spanning 954 square meters on a 3,501-square-meter plot within the expo grounds. The pavilion aims to present South Korea’s vision for a future society that integrates tradition, nature, technology and culture.
The exterior of the pavilion, which features three exhibition halls, was completed and inspected on Dec. 27, with interior work currently underway to ensure readiness for the expo’s opening next month.
Inside, visitors will encounter displays on artificial intelligence, renewable energy and future mobility solutions, as well as a massive media facade that combines spatial design with Hansan Mosi, a fine ramie fabric traditionally woven in South Korea, and cutting-edge digital media technology.
A dedicated section of the pavilion will also highlight Korean cuisine, offering visitors a taste of the country’s culinary heritage. Organizers anticipate a daily attendance of roughly 200,000 people from approximately 160 nations.
“The Korean Pavilion will serve as a platform to convey South Korea’s vision for the future and showcase our technological leadership on the global stage,” said Kang.
He emphasized that the expo would provide an opportunity to strengthen trade and investment ties between South Korea and Japan, particularly as the two nations mark the 60th anniversary of their diplomatic relations this year.
