The 'O' structure functions as a giant water screen, utilizing a high-pressure pump system to create a vertical curtain of water.
The venue is located in the middle of a sheltered ocean bay, requiring the entire stage structure to be submerged or floating.
The system uses 470 nozzles to create various fountain patterns and water movements synchronized with the show's soundtrack.
The central circular screen is designed to rotate and tilt to enhance the three-dimensional visual effects for the audience.
The Big-O Show is a multimedia performance venue located at the heart of the Yeosu Expo site. It features a massive offshore circular structure, known as 'The O,' which stands 47 meters tall. The performance combines water curtains, laser projections, fountain displays, and pyrotechnics. It utilizes a hydraulic system to lift and lower the central screen within the circular frame. The show centers on narratives involving sea creatures and environmental themes. Visitors view the performance from a purpose-built seaside grandstand. The installation was originally constructed as a centerpiece for the 2012 Yeosu World Expo.
The center of the grandstand provides the best angle to capture the full O structure with the water screen effects.
Secure seating in the middle section of the grandstand for the most centered view of the screen.
Bring a light jacket or windbreaker, as the seaside location can get chilly during the evening performance.
Arrive early to navigate the large expo plaza and secure your preferred viewing spot.
Do not attempt to view the show from distant areas of the harbor, as the laser and projection effects are specifically calibrated for the main grandstand.
Shows typically do not run during the winter months and may be cancelled on specific days due to extreme weather or high wind conditions.
