Spring (봄) in Korea is a highly anticipated season, primarily known for its stunning cherry blossoms (벚꽃, beotkkot) that blanket the country, especially in popular spots like Jinhae or Jeju Island. This period is filled with festivals and outdoor activities. However, it's also associated with 'yellow dust' (황사, hwangsa) and 'fine dust' (미세먼지, misemeonji) originating from China, which can significantly impact air quality and daily life, making face masks a common accessory.
