[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Gokseong melon, which grows in the clear waters and fertile lands along the Seomjin River and is popular nationwide for its high sugar content, is now meeting consumers through YouTube.
According to Gokseong County on the 1st, Gokseong melon will be featured on the YouTube channel ‘Gukmin Annaeyang TV’ on the 3rd.
In this summer special episode prepared for Gokseong melon, singer Seo Jio, known as the aunt of Mr. Trot Top 7 Kim Heejae, appears to introduce Gokseong melon boasting over 13 Brix using the latest non-destructive sugar content measuring device.
He is expected to deliver an honest review while eating Gokseong melon together with the host, singer Kim Jeongyeon. The video has already been filmed, and it is reported that Gokseong County Governor Yoo Geun-gi emphasized the excellence of Gokseong melon through a phone connection with the host.
