The Jangsu Hanwoo Square is set up as a large hall-sized tent with a capacity of 2,500 seats. Visitors to the festival can enjoy a wide range of Hanwoo cuts, including ribs, tenderloin, skirt steak, chuck flap tail, and oyster blade. Other options such as beef for stew, yuk sashimi, and yukhoe (Korean-style beef tartare) are also available for purchase.

At the Jangsu Hanwoo Square, organizations including the Jangsu Hanwoo Local Public Corporation, Jangsu and Janggae Nonghyup, Mujinjang Livestock Cooperative, and Jangsu County Distribution Agency are participating to sell Hanwoo beef. During the festival, tasting and sales spaces are offered together so that consumers can compare, taste, and purchase various cuts.

Jangsu Hanwoo is distinctively raised in a highland climate at altitudes above 500 meters. The region's environmental characteristics, such as large daily temperature variations and mineral-rich water, contribute to its quality. At this year's festival, a special "Omega-3 Jangsu Hanwoo," enhanced with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and unsaturated fats, will also be introduced.

At the exhibition area, visitors can also meet "Daehan-i," a Hanwoo bull representing the breeding achievements of Jangsu Hanwoo.

Weighing approximately 1,700 kilograms, Daehan-i is a Hanwoo bull with outstanding genetic capabilities. The event will introduce his pedigree, genetic traits, and the process of selecting breeding bulls. This goes beyond simply eating Hanwoo beef, offering visitors insight into how cattle breeding improvements are implemented in the field.

Jangsu County has continuously secured superior bloodlines and implemented breeding improvements in order to enhance the productivity and quality of Hanwoo cattle. This exhibition focuses on informing consumers about these processes and achievements.

Choi Hoonsik, Governor of Jangsu County, stated, "This space will provide an opportunity not only to experience the taste of Jangsu Hanwoo but also to learn about its breed improvement and the future of livestock technology," adding, "We will work to enhance the competitiveness of Jangsu Hanwoo and build a sustainable foundation for livestock farming."
