During the event, appointment certificates were presented, and the operational plan for the supporters was introduced. Previously, the organizing committee had conducted an open nationwide recruitment last month and selected a total of 18 supporters.
The supporters will be active under the name "Seomporters," a combination of "Seom" (island) and "supporters." Their activities will continue until November 4, 2026, and they plan to promote the Island Expo through various means, including participating in major events and producing content.
A committee official stated, "Seomporters are storytellers who convey the value of islands," adding, "We plan to operate the group in a way that captures diverse voices from across the country and actively promotes the value and appeal of the Island Expo."
Meanwhile, the 2026 Yeosu World Island Expo, under the theme "Islands: Connecting the Sea and the Future," is scheduled to be held from September 5 to November 4, 2026, for two months at the Dolsan Jinmo District, Geumo Island, Gae Island, and the Yeosu World Expo venue.
