Five county residents will each strike a large drum five times in the 'Hope New Year Drum Performance,' and there will be a calligraphy performance where the New Year's motto of Wando County is written with a giant brush. With the sunrise, an 'Year of Visit' ad balloon will also be released into the sky. Social organizations from Sinji-myeon will provide hot packs, tteokguk made with Wando specialties, and warm tea free of charge to county residents and visitors at the event.

Anticipating large crowds on the day of the event, Wando County is preparing a safety plan and will cooperate with relevant agencies to conduct pre-event site inspections and thoroughly prevent safety accidents.

A county official said, "We hope you will receive plenty of health and positive energy while watching the New Year’s sunrise in Wando, the center of marine healing that utilizes marine resources to heal both body and mind."
