This project was carried out as part of the "Windy Hill Road, Creating the Most Beautiful Village" initiative, with a total of 60 million won from the Local Extinction Response Fund invested. The renovation targeted a total of 14 murals, which included renewing large murals and repainting existing ones.

The murals along Nongoldam-gil were fully restored in 2015 through the "Urban Tourism Revitalization Contest Project." After the renewal of Nongol 1-3-gil in 2024, the renovation has now extended to the Lighthouse Oreum Road section this year, making the entire Nongoldam-gil area an even more complete tourist attraction.

In particular, Lighthouse Oreum Road is the most visited of the four mural village sections along Nongoldam-gil and offers the best sea views. Murals depicting the lives and stories of Mukho, such as squid fishing boats and trick art of squid-carrying frames, are receiving a great response from tourists.

Kim Sunok, head of the Culture and Arts Division, said, "Through this Lighthouse Oreum Road mural renewal, we were able to further enhance the charm of Nongoldam-gil, which is imbued with the emotions and stories of Mukho. We will continue to manage and improve the area so that Nongoldam-gil can establish itself as an emotional tourist destination that people want to visit again."
