When you think of winter's representative fruit, you'll think of tangerines.

In the midst of the full-fledged citrus harvest season, an event to promote Jeju tangerines was held in Seongsu, Seoul.

There is a YTN issue reporter on the scene.

Reporter Seo Jihyun!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's in Seongsu, Seoul.

[Anchor]
You can see many kinds of citrus fruits there?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

There are various citrus fruits on display here.

In addition to the familiar Hallabong, there are many tangerines I've never seen before, such as the sympathetic tangerine used as medicinal ingredients and the Buddha's hands.

Visitors can also see and experience various tangerines here.

I'm having a great time tasting citrus juice, playing games.

Tomorrow is December 1st, and Jeju Island has designated citrus day to promote citrus fruits across the country, including the metropolitan area.

Jeju citrus is the number one winter fruit in December, meaning it is a high-quality citrus with a sugar content of more than 12 Briggs and a acidity of less than 1%.

This place has a large tree full of tangerines and a stone statue, making it feel like you're in Jeju Island, the home of tangerines.

You can taste not only sweet citrus, but also juices made from 100% citrus.

In particular, the production of Jeju citrus has decreased this year compared to last year, but the sweetness has been observed to be better.

There is also a tangerine melier event where you get citrus as a gift if you get the sugar level of citrus.

In addition, there are various things to enjoy, such as citrus picking games, coloring experiences, and key rings.

Then let's hear from the citizens who visited here for the weekend.

[Kim Nayoung / Godeok-dong, Seoul: I didn't know they made and sold a variety of tangerine-related products, but it was good to know that there are various products such as wine and snacks here, and it's good that we know a lot about them since Jeju Island is also holding such an event in the metropolitan area. ]

This event is being held in Seongsu-dong, which has a large floating population and is frequented by the MZ generation to expand the citrus consumer base.

Many people, from the 2030 generation to family visitors and foreigners, visit this place and have a happy time enjoying Jeju tangerines.

The cold winter has come.

You should be careful not to catch a cold.

It would be nice to have a healthy and happy winter with tangerines that are responsible for winter vitamins.
