Seoul International Fireworks Festival is held from a private institution, Hanhwa, although there are many festivals that are held from the public institution like Busan International Fireworks Festival and Pohang International Lights Festival. In 2005, the then mayor of Seoul, Lee Myung-bak, said "It is a really big problem that Seoul City's budget and event progressing are supporting to the event from only a private institution" and he did not attend the opening ceremony of the Seoul International Fireworks Festival that are attended by convention.
