The opening ceremony was attended by about 60 people, including Bokgyu Gu, Hwasun County Governor; Hyul Oh, Chairman of the County Council; Gijun Ryu, Jeonnam Provincial Assembly member; Changbeom Joo, President of the County Saemaeul Association; Yongil Bae, President of the Hwasun Orchid Association; Yongsuk Yang, President of the Dongbok-myeon Orchid Association; Junghyun Kim, President of the Dong-myeon Orchid Association; Daesung Song, President of the Iyang-myeon Orchid Association; as well as heads of local organizations in Dongbok-myeon, residents, and Cymbidium enthusiasts.

Located at 377 Hancheon-ri, Dongbok-myeon, Dongbok Nansil is the second facility of its kind, following the Dong-myeon Nansil. Construction began in October 2024, and the facility was newly renovated by remodeling an existing greenhouse (with a total floor area of 336 square meters).

Hwasun County is dedicating its efforts to technological advancement and expansion in Cymbidium cultivation, a high-income crop.

It is expected to play a key role as a strategic hub for developing Cymbidium as a core industry in Hwasun County.

In his congratulatory remarks, Governor Bokgyu Gu stated, "I hope that members of the Dongbok Orchid Association will take their healthy hobby a step further and, with enthusiasm and teamwork, actively participate in Cymbidium cultivation and facility management to achieve stable incomes."

He added, "We will do our utmost to support Cymbidium cultivation so that it not only enhances the value of Cymbidium and creates new income sources, but also becomes a new model of success for our agriculture."
