The opening ceremony was attended by Shin Youngjae, Governor of Hongcheon County; Park Youngrok, Chairman of the Hongcheon County Council; Kim Juntae, Head of the Hongcheon County Branch of NH Nonghyup; Park Jingun, President of the Hongcheon County Korean Cattle Association; as well as other livestock industry stakeholders.

This liquid nitrogen filling station was established to support artificial insemination technicians and self-inseminating farms in securing a stable supply of liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is a key resource for preserving the quality of semen and ensuring its stable use during Korean cattle breeding. With the completion of this station, a foundation has been established for farms to utilize it more efficiently.

The total project cost for the filling station was 80 million won (funded by the province, the county, and the Hongcheon Livestock Cooperative). The facility is expected to make a significant contribution to livestock improvement by enhancing the efficiency of semen quality management, improving the convenience of refilling, and reducing costs.

Shin Youngjae, Governor of Hongcheon County, stated, "In order for Hongcheon Korean cattle, our top brand, to maintain its reputation and continue to develop, it is essential to expand infrastructure that farmers can utilize. With the completion of this filling station, we will continue to work together with farmers to improve and strengthen the competitiveness of Hongcheon Korean cattle."
