Changwon Special City Selects a Verse from Poet Hayoung's "Autumn Muhaksan" as Korean Language Empathy Phrase

"Autumn Muhaksan is as beautiful as the breadth of my heart
It shines as brightly as my open ears and open eyes"

Changwon Special City in South Gyeongsang Province has selected a verse from poet Hayoung's "Autumn Muhaksan" as October's "Korean Language Empathy Phrase."

Poet Hayoung's verse from "Autumn Muhaksan."

In the poem, Hayoung writes, "Autumn Muhaksan is as beautiful as the breadth of my heart. It shines as brightly as my open ears and open eyes."

Through this verse, the poet conveys the following message: "Muhaksan reaches the sky. The silver grass, the trees, and everything that touches the sky shines brilliantly. Perhaps, in some valley, with a sudden flutter, a crane might take flight. How happy one would be if one's heart could become as broad as the summit of Muhaksan. Climb the mountain, open your ears, and listen to the words of the wind. Then, your dreams will soar close to the sky."

Throughout October, the city will introduce this verse to citizens via a large electronic display installed on the city hall rooftop and through the municipal information display system (DID) located at 78 public sites.

Going forward, the city plans to continue discovering and promoting Korean language empathy phrases from works by local writers, helping citizens experience warmth and emotional resonance in their daily lives.
