Shinan-gun is home to 18 of the 77 endangered wild plant species designated by the Ministry of Environment, and among them, 9 endangered orchid species inhabit the area, making it a premier natural habitat and a representative native site for Chunlan in South Korea.

In particular, as the region where the prestigious Chunlan "Boreumdal" (Hwanghwa Sosim), beloved by many orchid enthusiasts, originated, various projects are being promoted annually to industrialize the sector, including nationwide native orchid exhibitions and infrastructure development for native orchid cultivation.

This exhibition, held for the first time in four years, will be a meaningful event featuring over 150 Chunlan plants carefully cultivated and nurtured by eight local orchid clubs, along with exchanges of Chunlan cultivation techniques and opportunities for members to purchase Chunlan plants they have personally grown.

Governor Park Woo-ryang stated, "This event demonstrates the dedication and efforts of orchid enthusiasts in nurturing native orchids, and we will continue to invest in and lead the development of tourism industries utilizing native plants."
