✨ Inside BEXCO Busan: Spaces & Facilities Guide

I recently visited BEXCO Busan across different occasions to check out two distinct events. One was an official festival centered on the game Overwatch. Admission was completely free, and a lively crowd of over 4,000 visitors gathered at the exhibition hall on that day.

Inside the arena, various character cosplays were on display, and attendees could freely enjoy the competitive gaming matches.
