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.

You can see many kinds of citrus fruits there?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

There are various citrus fruits on display here.

There are so many interesting varieties that you don't usually see.

This tangerine, which is the size of my face, is the largest citrus oil.

It is said that this finger-pointed tangerine resembles the hand of the Buddha and was named the Buddha.

Here, you can not only see various kinds of citrus fruits, but also taste and enjoy them.

On the other hand, various games using citrus fruits are also being played.

Tomorrow is December 1st, and Jeju Island has designated citrus day 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%.

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.

Citrus production this year has decreased compared to last year, but it has been observed that the sweetness is 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 Jin-soo / Godeok-dong, Seoul: Especially, wine or medicinal wine related to Cheonhyehyang was the best, and there were various roulette games and many things to eat. And most of all, there are many things to enjoy during the stamp tour, so I'm not bored.]

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 to taste and enjoy 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.
