[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Lotte Department Store Gwangju Branch is showcasing red bean porridge products ahead of Dongji.

Lotte Department Store Gwangju Branch announced on the 19th that it is presenting red bean porridge products at the underground 1st floor Sangmu Patjung store ahead of Dongji on the 22nd.

At the store, customers can find Dongji red bean porridge with round rice cake balls as well as products like red bean kalguksu (noodle soup).

Since ancient times, the custom of eating red bean porridge on Dongji has continued to this day. This is because eating red beans on Dongji, the day with the longest night of the year, was believed to ward off evil spirits or bad luck and pray for longevity throughout the year.

Additionally, red beans contain various nutrients such as protein, vitamin B1, and vitamin C, which are known to help endure the cold winter.
