[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 11th that the 'Ttangkkeut Maehwa Festival' held at Bohae Maesil Farm, the largest plum blossom site in Korea, will be held online from the 13th to the 14th.

During the festival, access to the plum farm will be restricted, and all programs will be operated non-face-to-face and broadcast online.

The program includes a 'Performance Show-off Contest' for children and adolescents until 1 PM on the 13th. Instrument performances such as piano, violin, and cello will continue against the backdrop of fully bloomed plum blossoms.

On the 14th, under the theme of 'Online Spring Picnic,' a picnic zone will be set up under the plum trees, and various non-face-to-face programs such as a camping talk show, online cooking competition, and yoga follow-along will be prepared.

The festival will be live-streamed on Haenam-gun's YouTube and Facebook, allowing viewers to enjoy a beautiful spring picnic through the videos.

Additionally, a large LED screen will be installed at Haenam-gun Citizen Square to broadcast the festival programs, easing the disappointment of local residents who cannot visit the festival site in person.

County Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan said, "Although it is a difficult time to hold festivals due to COVID-19, we decided to hold an online festival to share the news of spring flowers starting from Ttangkkeut Haenam nationwide," and added, "Although people cannot visit the festival site directly, we have prepared various videos and programs so that everyone can enjoy the atmosphere of spring, and we hope many people will join us."
