Accordingly, the county began preparations to welcome guests by reinstalling the festival facilities and stages that had been dismantled since the 6th to resume the temporarily suspended Wild Ginseng Festival.

A county official said, "While holding the festival is important, the safety of residents and tourists was the priority, so the festival was inevitably temporarily suspended. Thanks to thorough prior preparations, there was no major damage," adding, "As the festival fully resumes, we hope visitors come to the Wild Ginseng Festival site and create beautiful memories."

On the 8th, when the festival resumes, there will be a Wild Ginseng academic event and a Biwa Festival; on the 9th, Wild Ginseng Garaetteok (rice cake) pulling and performances by local artists from Hamyang; on the 10th, Wild Ginseng Day with distribution of mountain wild ginseng and a residents' song contest will be held.
