      Hi Mat, thank you so much for sharing a lot of helpful info about Korea! We are thinking of visiting Seoul for 3 days. The possible dates are 1/22-1/25 or right after Seollal 2024 (2/14-17). Which would be a better time to visit? Also, do you have any recommendations on color analysis? Look forward to your recommendation. Thank you!

        Hi, Nicole! I'm not sure what 'color analysis' is, but the weather at those two times will be basically the same. Personally I'd pick right after Seollal, as you'll likely still see some of the rather unusual large gift boxes and spreads for sale in supermarkets and department stores, as well as a lot of cute Valentine's Day stuff. Weather is very brisk and chilly during that time, though, so pack layers & enjoy your trip!
