Shinan-gun Provides a Special Attraction with the '7 Horses' at Daegwang Beach

Installation of Two Red Horse Sculptures Symbolizing Hongmaehwa Blossoms

Two red horse sculptures symbolizing red plum blossoms were installed on June 6th at Daegwang Beach in Sinan, which features a vast sandy beach 200 meters wide and 12 kilometers long.

According to Sinan County on the 10th, these works, which captivate visitors with their vivid colors and unique design, are by artist Kim Woo-jin, whose piece "Deer" gained widespread attention when BTS member V purchased it at the 2019 Korea International Art Fair.

The background of this work's creation is that artist Kim Woo-jin expressed his unique sensibility inspired by red plum blossoms and beach horseback riding. It was exhibited at the 2023 Incheon Asia Art Show (IAAS) and has already received significant attention.

Daegwang Beach, where the sculptures are installed, has an area of one million pyeong at low tide, making it the most ideal environment for horseback riding, allowing horses to run freely, which is popular among horseback riding enthusiasts.

County Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “The total of seven horses, including the two added to the existing five, will provide visitors with a special attraction, and I hope that luck will come to everyone along with the energy of the horses.”

At Daegwang Beach, the Island Tulip Festival is being held for 10 days from the 5th to the 14th, and a beach horseback riding competition is scheduled for the 12th and 13th.
