함안 낙화놀이, 지역 명물 넘어 세계로 나간다 / KNN

#KNNNews #Haman #NakHwanori [Anchor] The spectacular sight of fireworks scattering like fog across the night sky is the essence of the Haman Nak Hwanori in Gyeongnam. This year's Haman Nak Hwanori unfolded before thousands of tourists yesterday (the 24th), demonstrating its potential as a representative festival of the Korean Wave. Reporter Pyo Jung-gyu reports. [Reporter] Over 4,000 fireworks cover the pond, where pitch-black darkness has descended, like fog. There are no explosive sounds or flashy shapes, but rather, they leave a more tranquil lingering impression. In the Haman Nak Hwanori, residents finely grind charcoal made from oak, plant wicks in cotton cloth, and fire sticks finely twisted with Hanji burn. Visitors who made it through fierce competition, with 4,000 spots selling out in just one minute of advance reservations this year, could not hide their exclamations of awe. {Lee Yu-bin/Chungmugong-dong, Jinju/The speed at which the fire started was a bit slow, so I was a little confused.} "I wanted to see it, but once it got dark and the fire started, it was incredibly beautiful." "Yang Ji-won and Kim Jae-yeop / Eumseong-gun, Chungbuk / It was so beautiful that I didn't even remember the four hours it took to get here. It felt like a fire fairy, so I think it was a truly happy moment." The unique fireworks display in Haman, Gyeongnam, held every April on Buddha's Birthday, has already established itself as a local specialty for over 300 years. In particular, this year, the Haman Nakwanori is already preparing to take off as a world-class tourism content, having been selected for the 'Large-scale Hallyu Event Linkage Project' by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and receiving 280 million won in state funding. Safety measures have also been upgraded, such as dispersing crowds with performances continuing from daytime and preventing traffic congestion with shuttle buses. {Seok Wook-hee / Deputy Governor of Haman County / We will develop Haman’s Nakwanori (fireworks display) beyond local tourism into a global attraction, transforming Haman into a world-class city.} Haman Nakwanori, a dance of fireworks carried by the wind, is scheduled to showcase its elegant beauty once again in the second half of this year as "K-Fireworks Connecting Tradition and Modernity, Haman Nakwanori The Golden."
