Hello, everyone! I introduced you how Yeosu Expo is progressing after the previous post that Yeosu Expo (http://www.advancedtechnologykorea.com/?p=9571).

To summarize briefly, about one hundred countries participate in Yeosu Expo, which is held under the theme 'The Living Ocean and Coast', and it shows ecosystems of the world's Five Oceans, and at the same time it provides diverse attractions such as the exhibition on the ocean, multimedia show, and ocean experiment park. It is one of three global festivals. It only has 120 days to go until the opening date. How is the preparation going for Yeosu Expo?

Dio, which is in shape of O and stands tall above the sea level 47m, is the core facility of night-and-day multipurpose new media show, which Yeosu International Expo ambitiously designed. Its size is bigger than the 63 City's Imax movie screen (width 24m, length 18m), which is known as the largest movie screen in South Korea, and over 30,000 spectators can watch the new media show at the same time in front of Yeosu Sea and at the exhibition place.

The overseas response to Yeosu Expo is very hot just as its preparation process is solid. CNN selected it as the first place for 'Top places to visit in 2012', Lonely Planet, the global travel guide book, as one of the 'Top 10 things to do in 2012'. Euro News, which has the highest viewing rate in Europe TV channel, covered Yeosu Expo exclusively!

As much as it is known in the world, Yeosu Expo's enthusiasm for publicity is great.
Its seventh official poser has been printed with the publicity ambassador Lee Ji-eun as the model. Lee Ji-eun had been appointed as the publicity ambassador of Yeosu International Expo in last May and publicized the expo, singing 'The Story that the Ocean Remembers'.

Also, suitable for the cutting edge IT powerhouse, an app was developed so that people can experience the expo in advance, offering more than data and information. And the Yeosu Expo smartphone app is raising issues. The expo smartphone app that was developed for iPhone and Android connects image and video, has mobile brochure that is similar to turning a page, and introduced VR that was hard to find in smartphone. Gratified the newest publicity technology, it was presented in early last May. Of course, you can listen to Lee Ji-eun's Yeosu International Expo campaign song.

This app sends images in high resolution and has 220MB capacity, which is not small. In addtion, through the mouth of words, its newest technology and splendid video are receiving good comments from downloader. You can search 'Yeosu Expo' in App Store for iPhone and in Android market for Galaxy S.

Other than these, many facilities such as the sky tower, ocean experience park, and Big O are under construction, anticipate until the day in May when you'd see them for real! Give some love to Yeosu Expo!
