Talking about the weather is considered a polite and friendly way to initiate a conversation, especially with strangers or acquaintances. It is also common to inquire about someone's well-being by asking about the weather conditions in their area.

The four distinct seasons - spring, summer, autumn, and winter - are celebrated and cherished in Korean culture. Each season brings its own unique beauty and activities, and Koreans have developed various traditions and customs associated with these seasons. For example, the blooming of cherry blossoms in spring is a highly anticipated event, and many people gather in parks and gardens to admire the beautiful flowers. Autumn is the season of harvest, and Koreans celebrate the bountiful harvest with the Chuseok festival.
