The "Big O" at Yeosu Expo

This post is written by Miguel Estela, one of the Korea Blog's Worldwide Korea Bloggers.

Everybody's wondering what's the ferris wheel structure like inside the Yeosu Expo. The first time I saw it I thought it was a ride but since it's located in the middle like it's the main attraction, then there must be something more special about the structure. Well it makes the scene more dramatic in pictures. And it makes the expo look more interesting and happy but there must be really something that would surprise me.

Big O Area Apparently you call the structure as the "Big O". And "O" stands for Ocean. The area itself is automatically the Big O Area…So what happens here? Well it's the place where you can see spectacular performances. During day time you could see a different and unique performances from foreign and local performers. I saw my long time Uzbekistan friend who's working as an interpreter for the performers so I assumed that the foreign performers must be from Russian speaking countries. The performance is really amazing. They've utilized the air, water and the whole Big O area too. I am not sure but I guess it's usually at 2 pm. In the evening, the area transforms into a K-Pop concert venue or local performances from different performing groups.
