Yeosu Expo 2012 is a former world fair site in Yeosu, South Korea, now repurposed as a coastal recreational and convention hub. The site centers around the Big-O, a massive water stage featuring a circular frame used for multimedia light and fountain shows. The Aqua Planet Yeosu aquarium stands as the primary year-round attraction, housing diverse marine species and exhibits. Visitors can view the Expo Digital Gallery, an expansive LED ceiling display that stretches across the main pedestrian corridor. The area includes the 67-meter tall Sky Tower, which was converted from a cement silo and currently holds a massive pipe organ. The site functions as a public park with wide promenades, event spaces, and harbor-front views. It remains a key cultural focal point for the Jeollanam-do region.
