Hampyeong County said on October 18 that it had conducted an on-site inspection of preparations for the 2026 Korea Chrysanthemum Festival on October 16 at Hampyeong Expo Park and surrounding areas.

About 100 people attended the inspection, including Hampyeong County Governor Lee Namoh and county officials.

The inspection was conducted to review the large-scale chrysanthemum sculptures and exhibition spaces newly created under the theme "Mythical Chrysanthemum Garden," and to identify and address any shortcomings before the festival opens.

Attendees carefully checked visitor routes and the condition of the facilities. In particular, in preparation for large crowds during the festival, they focused on reviewing ▲parking lot operations and traffic flow measures ▲the deployment of safety personnel in crowded areas of the event venue ▲emergency contact and medical response systems.

The county plans to immediately address any issues identified that day and keep its inspection system in operation through the opening day.

Hampyeong County Governor Lee Namoh said, "We need to quickly address even minor issues identified on site before the festival opens to improve its overall quality. We will make every effort to ensure all visitors to the Korea Chrysanthemum Festival can enjoy it safely."
