South Korea has four genuinely distinct seasons — every one with a completely different experience 🌸🍁❄️. Seoul transforms in spring into a sea of cherry blossoms, and in autumn into a forest of golden colours. Winter is bitterly cold, and summer is hot, humid, and brings the monsoon. Spring and autumn are the undisputed gems.
