Oh Hey, What Did I Miss OR: What's Tasty In Busan in Jimtober?
Just kidding. I kind of know what's been going on. Kind of.
WHAT THE WHAT OMG OMG
Okay wait. Here's what's happening as nearly as my admittedly dysfunctional brain can tell:
In... October. Like the same October the rest of us are gonna get in a few months only THEY GET A 'GLOBAL CONCERT' which may very well mean a LIVESTREAM EVENT.
I kinda want a behind the scenes video, like Yoongi and the Jeon-Parks going here, although I mean as long as they're in town they could just take everybody. Namjoon should get a pass for all the years he's spent in the middle, there might be tooooo much Jeon-Park Appreciation in that city for his not-really-a-hiatus resting state.
Or maybe they could grab 'em a Hobi (there's always a Hobi) and have another fansign event about dicks gaebul fish whatever it is that's tasty in Busan:
We KNOW, Park Jimin. WE KNOW.
Good LORD y'all can you even imagine what happens if the Jeon-Parks get a whole new government administration in five years and they legalize the gay marriage and then the Way Open Jikookery commences and they decide to raise the kids in their hometown where Park 할아버지 has the family cafe' and there are murals of the Jeon-Parks just hanging out on buildings and THEN THE WORLD EXPO HAPPENS AND WE FINALLY FIND OUT WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH THAT RING FROM 2019 DAMN

... I'm just saying.
Okay. Probably most of those things are not happening but LET ME DREAM it's been a little intense over here lately. I think we could all use a bit of happy what-if-ness in our lives.
What we do know is ain't nobody going to the Korean military before that concert, most likely, and that for me is good news, so.
In 1970, after the positive international response to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Japan hosted its first World Expo, attracting a record 64 million visitors. Kamekura’s winning design for the official poster for overseas use depicts his minimalist, geometric interpretation of the five petals of a cherry blossom – a culturally resonant symbol of Japan, prized for its ephemeral beauty
Fifty years ago Jim Downard attended the Expo '74 in Spokane. He reminisces about the efforts to host a World's Fair in Spokane, highlighting the transformation of downtown and the participation of various countries.

Hello, today is a fairly simple blog post. I’ve often wanted to have a reference to put behind me stating that a certain Expo underperformed or wanted to have specific numbers behind me stating the Expo as a concept has declined. So, that’s why I’ve collected my own data below. I’ll likely reference this again at some point in the future, but for now, peruse the data as you wish! (Do note, all data has a certain asterisk to it, since revenue and budget are self reported. Not all countries report over expenditure of the budget, so costs that balloon past the publicly recorded budget aren’t included below. Additionally, remember that inflation affects all the numbers, especially older ones)
If Busan is having so many issues with price gouging/safety/transportation for this concert, are they really prepared to host the World Expo? I get that it’s still several years away, but this isn’t exactly providing the international community with much confidence.
For its six-month duration, local and international visitors at Expo 2020 Dubai found their directions and transportation information using signage delivered by Pico. Found across the Expo site and rendered in both Arabic and English, the signage was the product of wayfinding packages that included design, management and logistics services.
