Whether you’re making travel plans or chatting with Korean friends and family, the seasons are handy to know.
The Korean calendar is divided into four seasons, each starting a few weeks earlier than its Western counterpart.
- Spring - 봄 - bom
- Summer - 여름 - yureum
- Fall - 가을 - ga-eul
- Winter - 겨울 - gyuwool
