[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] On the 14th, Ham-an County in Gyeongnam announced that the Gunbuk-myeon Residents' Autonomy Committee planted ornamental "poppy flowers" without narcotic components around the wall of the 39th Division on the 13th.

The event was held as a result of being selected for the "2020 Ham-an County Residents' Autonomy Specialization Project." Committee members, Gunbuk-myeon Office staff, and participants in the Hope Job Project planted poppy flower seeds over an area of about 1.5 km along the wall of the Army 39th Division, covering 1,000㎡.

The name "poppy flower" was given because it is said to be as beautiful as Yang Ok-hwan, a concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in China and recorded as one of the world's four great beauties. There are two types: narcotic and ornamental, and all poppy flowers available on the market are ornamental.

Kim Dae-gyu, chairman of the Gunbuk-myeon Residents' Autonomy Committee, said, "This event will greatly contribute to creating a beautiful first impression of Gunbuk-myeon in full bloom of poppy flowers for visitors in the spring of next year."
