The Island Fair Fiasco: A Tale of Overpriced Pretension The recent opening of the $64m World Island Fair in Yeosu, South Korea, has been met with a mixture of excitement and skepticism from locals and tourists alike.
The event's organizers aimed high, but it seems they fell short. One of the most egregious offenders is the folk song performance featuring a truck masquerading as a boat.
A one tonne truck wrapped in fabric to resemble a vessel was used on stage, with performers standing on its body and pretending to row while being pulled across.
