Cultural Context
제주도 (Jeju Island) is famously called '삼다도' — the island of three abundances: wind, stones, and women — because strong ocean winds are part of its identity. Spring in Korea brings '꽃샘추위' (literally 'cold jealous of the flowers') with sharp cold winds that nip at early blossoms. Koreans also distinguish '바람이 불다' (wind blows) from '바람이 나다' — the latter is an idiom meaning to have an affair, so context matters.
