The 2026 Yeosu World Island Expo is enhancing its exhibition and experience programs with large-scale performances to attract weekend visitors this fall. The lineup includes a family musical for children and a trot concert for older audiences, catering to all generations.
The organizing committee announced on the 21st that the EBS musical 'Avengers LIVE' and the special performance 'TOP6 of the Unknown Legend' will take place on the main stage at the Yeosu Dolsan Jinmo area on the 24th and 25th.
On the 24th, the family musical 'Avengers LIVE' featuring popular EBS characters will be performed twice at 3:30 PM and 6 PM.
The show will include familiar characters such as Lightning Man, Dduk Ddaki, and Fart Master Bboong Bboong, presenting songs and dances in an interactive format that both children and their parents can enjoy together.
Around the performance venue, a kids zone with inflatable play equipment and a picnic area for families will be available. Family participation programs, including a flea market and a sports day, are also planned, followed by an evening beer party.
At noon on the same day, the 'Yeosu Marching Festival' will feature domestic and international marching bands performing throughout the expo grounds. At 8 PM, attendees can enjoy fireworks from the Yeosu Night Sea, which will also be visible from the expo site.
On the 25th, a special performance for trot fans is scheduled.
The 'TOP6 of the Unknown Legend' concert will take place at 6 PM on the main stage, featuring six artists: Seongri, Haru, Jang Hanbyeol, Hwang Yoonseong, Jeong Yeonho, and Irune. Special guest Yoo Jiwoo will also join the performance.
A total of 4,000 tickets for the concert will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at the venue on the day of the event. Visitors wishing to attend should check the details regarding ticket distribution times and locations in advance.
At 3 PM that day, a performance of a traditional dance drama will take place, and 'Island Friends Day,' showcasing traditional Tanzanian dance and music, is scheduled for 11 AM, 5 PM, and 7 PM.
The organizing committee expects that the weekend performances will increase the number of visitors utilizing the expo's exhibition halls and experience facilities.
At the main venue, the Marine Ecological Island, visitors can observe various marine creatures, including seahorses, while the interactive exhibition 'Treasure Island' offers children's programs featuring slides, ball pits, and trick art.
The International Exchange Island will host exhibitions from 17 overseas local governments, showcasing the natural environments, lifestyles, and climate change responses of islands around the world.
In the evening, light exhibitions will continue with a 360-degree media facade on the 20-meter theme island and a wishing boat illuminating the island-themed zone.
Kim Il-hoon, head of the organizing committee's event team, stated, "We hope visitors come to enjoy the performances and also experience the islands and seas of the world. We wish that the joyful memories of this weekend will prompt reflection on the life, values, and future of islands."
This weekend's events are significant as they allow visitors to enjoy exhibitions, performances, and experiences ahead of the expo's conclusion. However, due to the outdoor nature of the events, it is essential to check for any schedule changes due to weather conditions.
Meanwhile, the 2026 Yeosu World Island Expo, themed 'Connecting Islands, Seas, and the Future,' opened on September 5 and will run for 61 days until November 4 at the Yeosu Dolsan Jinmo area, Yeosu World Expo site, and surrounding islands of Gaedo and Geumo. The expo features exhibitions highlighting the ecological, cultural, and future values of islands, along with marine leisure activities, performances, and experience programs.
