On December 1, Uiseong County held the "Hope Tree Lighting Ceremony" at the county office's small park, expressing gratitude to residents who worked diligently throughout the region and marking a new beginning toward 2026.


About 200 people, including Uiseong County Mayor Kim Joosoo, Uiseong County Council Chairman Choi Hunsik, and county staff, attended the event, sharing in the warm year-end atmosphere.


This year's Hope Tree was designed to symbolize "sending love and warmth like the moon and starlight to everyone who worked hard throughout the year, and creating a vibrant and happy Uiseong together in the New Year."


As a signature winter event that leaves special memories for Uiseong residents and visitors every year-end, the Hope Tree has become a major symbol that brightens the year-end scenery of the region.


Mayor Kim Joosoo stated, "I hope the lights of the Hope Tree have offered comfort and encouragement to our residents," adding, "I will do my best to make 2026 an even brighter and more hopeful year."



Uiseong County plans to keep the Hope Tree illuminated until February 2026, providing a space for rest and healing for both residents and tourists.
