Accordingly, Gwangju Shinsegae is selling nine varieties of strawberries under the theme "The New World of Strawberries," which Pubilla loves, including Geumsil, Seolhyang, Janghee, Kingsberry, Vitaberry, Seolhee, Mannyeonseol, Honghee, and Altaking.

The representative product, Honghee strawberry, is a domestic variety first harvested last year, characterized by its floral scent. Kingsberry, which is palm-sized, is about twice as large as regular strawberries and is famous for its high sugar content.

Also, Mannyeonseol strawberry, known for its white color and pineapple scent, is popular for its unique appearance. Vitaberry is a new variety of strawberry with a strong aroma and high sugar content, while Seolhyang strawberry is the most popular variety with excellent taste balance due to its appropriate sweetness, acidity, and texture.
