Summer Reading
The sun is blazing, and the heat and humidity are creeping up all across Korea. If you’re stuck in landlocked Seoul, it’s all about survival, until the freshness and colour of autumn bring some much needed relief.
Fortunately, the ROK is a peninsula surrounded by refreshing water on 3 sides, and that means miles and miles of coastline. Whether it’s the white sand and blue water of the East Coast, volcanic vibes on Jeju Island, or the dynamic city beaches of Busan, you’re sure to find something to suit exactly your taste.
What do you have planned for summer?
