[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] On the 16th, rose flowers heralding May bloomed vividly around Blast Furnace No. 1 at POSCO Pohang Steelworks. In particular, the rose is also the city flower of Pohang, Gyeongbuk.

Leaving behind about 48 years of history, the blast furnace No. 1 at Pohang Steelworks, which was closed last December, along with the Environmental Center that serves as the steelworks' environmental guardian, and the 3rd Steelmaking Plant, create a magnificent scene as the steelworks facilities and roses harmonize.

Pohang Steelworks planted rose vines throughout the steelworks, including Gate 1, Gate 2, and the central road. Additionally, last year, 3,500 rose bushes were newly planted along Dongchon Forest Path, a walking trail connecting the POSCO History Museum to the POSCO headquarters.
