An event using Jeju tangerines is going on there?    

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

There is an event here to promote the excellence of Jeju tangerines.

A cute character using Jeju Hallabong welcomes citizens who visit this place despite the cold weather.

After a while, the official ceremony of the event will be held from 11 o'clock.

Participants in cute citrus hats will hang citrus on a large tree together.

We will also deliver citrus fruits of love for our neighbors in need.

Visitors are having a good time tasting each and every one of them.

Tomorrow, December 1st, is Citrus Day designated by Jeju Island to promote citrus fruits across the country, including the metropolitan area.

It was designated with the meaning that Jeju citrus is the No. 1 fruit in December, and that it is a high-quality citrus with a sugar content of more than 12 Briggs and a acidity of less than 1%.

On the occasion of Citrus Day, this event to promote the excellence of Jeju citrus began yesterday and runs until tomorrow.

It has a large citrus-filled tree and stone harbang, making it feel like you are in Jeju Island, the home of citrus fruits.

You can also taste sweet citrus and juicy juice made from 100% citrus.

This year's citrus production is lower than last year's, but it is observed that the sweetness is better, so it tastes particularly good.

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 keyring making.

After a while, there will also be a delivery ceremony for the tangerine of love, which will deliver 1,201 boxes of Jeju citrus to needy neighbors.

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 their 20s and 30s to family visitors and foreigners visit this place.

Visitors are having a happy time, taking pictures with Jeju citrus characters installed throughout the venue, and enjoying various products related to 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 will be responsible for winter vitamins.
