Autumn (가을) is considered the most beautiful season in Korea, characterized by mild temperatures and vibrant foliage. Many tourists visit Korea during this time to witness the stunning autumn colors in the mountains. Koreans also celebrate the harvest season with festivals and traditional rituals.

Winter (겨울) in Korea is cold, with temperatures dropping below freezing. Snowfall is common, especially in the northern regions. Koreans enjoy winter sports like skiing and snowboarding.
