Everyone~ Fall, my favorite season, has finally arrived. It's fall in Korea now, and the weather has become very chilly these days. Still, I’m so glad it’s fall haha. I really like fall in Korea. When you think of autumn in Korea, what comes to mind first? Many of my friends probably think of autumn leaves haha. The autumn leaves in Korea, the ginkgo tree drama, and the photos are very beautiful. Even if you look at it in reality, it is the same. There are also places to see autumn leaves, a representative symbol of fall in Korea. If you’re curious about where it is, I’ll introduce it to you right away.
