Not so fast.
The South Korean construction companies aren’t the losers here.
Had South Korea won, South Korean companies would have incurred the wrath of MBS which meant lost business opportunities for South Korean companies in South Korea.
No doubt MBS offered Yoon a way out during the latter’s visit to Saudi Arabia by promising to reward South Korean companies handsomely if South Korea did not try that hard to win the Expo.
From the Tweet below, it seems that the reward campaign has already started.

MBS rewarding MB … and Hyundai Construction.
And let’s not forget all those tankers and rigs built for Saudi Aramco in Ulsan and Geojedo.
Well played Korea Maritime and Ocean University Alumni … based in Busan.
Moon Jae-in and Kim Young-sam were both born on Geojedo.
