Support from local businesses continues as the 2026 Yeosu World Island Expo unfolds.
The organizing committee announced on October 14 that it held a ticket purchase agreement ceremony with Samhae Development for tickets valued at 20 million won at the Yeosu City Hall.
Attendees at the ceremony included Yeosu Mayor Seo Young-hak, Samhae Development CEO Kang Hyun-jae, and Kim Jong-ki, the committee's secretary general.
By agreeing to purchase tickets worth 20 million won, Samhae Development contributed to the successful hosting of the international event and the promotion of community participation.
Founded in 2018 in Yeosu, Samhae Development is currently working on a wind power project in the waters around Geomundo.
This ticket purchase reflects the company's commitment to actively participate in an international event taking place in the region where it operates, emphasizing community synergy.
Kang Hyun-jae, CEO of Samhae Development, stated, "I am pleased to contribute to this meaningful international event in Yeosu. We will continue to focus on growing and collaborating with the local community."
Seo Young-hak, the mayor of Yeosu, expressed hope that Samhae Development's participation would increase community interest in the expo, adding, "We will work to expand the expo's atmosphere and promote the value of the islands through the participation of various companies and organizations."
The organizing committee plans to foster a collaborative atmosphere to ensure that participation from businesses and organizations translates into increased attendance and broader community interest in the expo.
Meanwhile, the 2026 Yeosu World Island Expo, themed "Islands, Connecting the Sea and the Future," opened on September 5 and will run for 61 days until November 4 at the Dolsan Jinmo area, the Yeosu World Expo site, and the islands of Gaedo and Geumo.
