South Korean President Yoon Seok-yoon apologized to the public at the presidential palace in Yongsan for the failure of Busan's bid to host the 2030 World Expo, saying it was entirely due to his shortcomings. All of a sudden, there was a lot of abuse. Not because the expo failed, but because after the crazy hype, the hype, actually failed, and failed so miserably. The day before this, in the vote of the 173rd General Assembly of the Bureau of International Exhibitions held in Paris, France, Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, successfully became the host city of the 2030 World Expo with 119 votes. Even Rome, Italy, received 17 votes, while South Korea managed to get only 29 votes. How ironic is that? The South Korean government had gone all out, pinning great hopes on hosting the 2030 Expo in Busan, and repeatedly highlighting Korean cuisine, culture, and even movies. In addition, President Yoon expressed his confidence in the success of Busan's bid on many occasions at home and abroad, during which he frequently visited a number of countries and won the support of many countries.

So this gives South Korea a lot of confidence. However, unexpectedly, in the end, the vote was 29 to 119, which severely slapped South Korea. It is reported that the public opinion on the failure of the bid is mixed, and they are very surprised by the Korean government's previous confidence. Is this the result of South Korean propaganda? It's just ridiculous. Some South Korean Internet users, after coming to their senses, began to accuse the couple of deceiving the public and creating a false atmosphere. "The vote margin is so big, and they still talk about oil money and other things to belittle Saudi Arabia." It has to be said that Yun Seok-yue's diplomatic ability is really "impressive". It is worth mentioning that because of the failure of the Expo, the South Korean media tried to give the government a face back, claiming that Saudi Arabia used "oil money" to win the right to host the Expo. South Korean media also used the word "narrowly defeated."

Does 29 to 119 count as a "narrow defeat"? Apparently, this is too "modest." After the incident, Yoon apologized to the public, but it was actually a sham. By Mr. Yin's account, after more than 150 meetings with leaders of 96 countries and phone calls to dozens more, the vote still fell short of the government's expectations. Our great South Korean president, on the one hand, did not reflect on the economic failure, on the other hand, did not reflect on the fame of the city, but complained that 96 countries did not give face. Such absurd accusations really make people surprised.

Can only say that this president, not ordinary, his incompetence, all blame others. However, compared with Yin Xiyue's pretend apology, although the South Korean people are satirizing the government, in the end, they have finally put down a hanging heart. Because they have waited two years, waiting for a defeat even if it is irreversible, but anyway, no more thinking, no more illusions. Finally, I hope that the South Korean government can learn a lesson from this incident, strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, and enhance its international competitiveness, so that it will not "lose" so badly in the future.
