While the bid to host the 2030 Busan Expo was canceled, controversy arose following it became known that a video that seemed to make fun of Saudi Arabia was posted on the SNS account of the National Public Relations Broadcasting Service.
This is a 50-second video posted on the SNS account of KTV under the Korea Broadcasting Service on the 26th, right before the decision on whether to host the project was made.
This is a video created with the concept of a competition between Korean and Saudi AI over the possibility of hosting the Expo, but the Saudi AI simply repeats the name of the country to any question.

″<첫 번째 질문 드립니다. 이번 엑스포의 개최 확률, 한국과 사우디 어느 쪽이 높을까요. 먼저 사우디 인공지능 대답해 주세요.> Saudi Arabia! Saudi Arabia!
<이유는요?> Saudi Arabia!
<구체적인 이유는 없습니까?> Saudi Arabia! <네, 알겠습니다.>″
On the other hand, Korean artificial intelligence provides elegant and coherent answers.

″<한국 인공지능 대답해 주세요.> Busan Expo will provide new business opportunities to all countries around the world. Korea has an advantage not only because it has experience hosting major international events, but also because it has a variety of cutting-edge technologies to cooperate with developing countries. Moreover, Korea is higher because it has K-soft power that has captivated the whole world, not money. <자 여러분은 누구에게 투표하겠습니까?>″
Viewers who watched the video responded that there was no sign of consideration or respect for the other country.
Opinions have emerged such as, “He is not good at anything and only puts others down,” and, “Is there a need to increase his enemies by scraping and creating scraps?”
In addition, referring to the Saudi character wearing a turban in the video, concerns were raised that “wearing a turban or hijab and making fun of it is a representative form of racism overseas, but it might lead to being accused of being a blatantly racist country.”
Immediately following the results were announced yesterday, some members of the bid delegation assessed that “underdeveloped countries voted financially for Saudi Arabia,” and it was pointed out that this might be seen as a diplomatic discourtesy.
As controversy arose, the video has now been deleted.
