Cheongyang chili pepper is a medium-sized chilli cultivar of the species Capsicum annuum, with intensity of 10,000 Scoville heat units.
The chilli is a local speciality of Cheongyang County in South Korea. However, it was named after Cheongsong and Yeongyang Counties when developed by Dr Yoo Il-Woong(유일웅), by hybridizing local Jejudo chilli with Bird's eye chilli.
