[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Choi Hyung-sik) is bustling with candy artisans in Changpyeong-myeon stretching yeot (traditional Korean taffy) to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Changpyeong rice yeot, which contains the unique taste of yeot and the artisan's sincerity, is made using traditional methods with a cauldron and firewood rather than mass production. It is famous for being crispy when eaten, not sticking to the mouth, and leaving no residue after eating.
