Homigot Sunrise, a new hope for all
Homi Cape, located in Nam-gu, Pohang, is the tail of the Korean peninsula, the Korean peninsula. Speaking of tails often comes to mind negative meanings such as end and back. Like the crowned crown, it can be used to mean incompleteness such as failure or abandonment.

But tails are very important to animals. Especially for predators of carnivores, the tail is directly linked to survival. When hunting, the tail turns and balances. The tiger runs with the power of the tail, and conducts the flock with the tail. This is why the tiger tail is regarded as a symbol of national fortune and national security. Homigot New Year's first sunrise, which will be comforting and hopeful for everyone, is more meaningful.
