Landing in Seoul on day of Lotus Lantern Festival?

Hello, looking forward to visiting South Korea soon! The flight I was about to book lands in Seoul on the 11th of May (in the morning). I just read that this is the date of an important festivity, the Lotus Lantern Festival. Of course I am very interested in witnessing it, but I do worry about having to travel on that specific day. Will it be difficult to get to the center of Seoul from the airport due to crowds? Are any services closed that day? Should I try to book a day earlier maybe? Thanks for any insights!

Motorsports in Korea?

How do I get involved with motorsports as a visitor in Korea?

I'm specifically looking to rent track cars for time attack or drifting. I'd appreciate some insight if it's feasible or if it's closed doors and only for the rich... thanks!

SK Drinking Age?

Hi, I'm traveling to South Korea in April and was curious about the drinking age. I read online that it was January 1st of the year you turn 19, but I asked a couple people I know who have grown up in Korea and they said it was just 19. Which one is correct? Am I of legal drinking age? For reference I'm 18, born in 2005.

Itinerary and advice

Hiii 😀 in August I will be in South Korea for 13 days. Can you recommend some itineraries? I was reading that only Seoul deserves 3/5 days, consider that the departure and return flight (me and my partner) is from Seoul. We like street food and visiting both places of worship and nature, we usually travel with a backpack…. there is some tradition/behavior that we must pay attention to, as well as obviously having common sense and appropriate clothing in temples? thanks in advance! 🙂

December or May/June in South Korea

안녕하세요!

Hi!

It is quite a while away and I know I have lots of time to plan etc.

Looking for opinions on travelling in South Korea in December (specifically the last half of the month) and May/June.

Are there benefits or downsides to December holiday times? I’d be able to maximize my vacation days by making use of the days my work’s office is closed if I go mid-late December haha.

I’m not opposed to a few days with many closures as those can be rest and recharge and decompress days for me (introvert and work in a pretty busy field and have some family stress over the holidays like many others 😂)

Note: I come from Canada so the cold won’t really be much of a negative for me.

I’m so unsure because I think both seasons have their beauty. Are there places that aren’t really accessible etc during either seasons?

I also don’t drive so I’ll be relying on public transport etc (unless I go in June when I may be able to get my international motorcycle licence - which from what I’ve read may not help with renting motorcycles in SK).

(I’m working on my Korean, but not conversational yet 😂😭)

감사합니다~

Cheapest way to visit Korea

Hello. I have traveled to some countries in the world, but South Korea is one of the countries with the most expensive flight tickets I have ever seen (probably because I am from Turkey). I would like to ask some questions. First of all, what are the rejection rates for the k-ETA visa and approximately how many dollars do we need to save to avoid rejection? Secondly, how can I find the cheapest flight ticket and a good place to stay (breakfast included is my preference)? Finally, what is the best time to visit South Korea?

Electronic Parts Store?

I'm looking for an electronic parts store that sells Raspberry Pi and LoRa types of devices in South Korea. More specifically around Dongducheon and Pyeongtaek areas. Every time I ask hotel staff or other locals, they always refer me to Lotte World Mall,, Samsung, or LG. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to find a supplier for korean grocery items that ship internationally ?

Hi all, I want to start a buisness selling Korean grocery products such as Shin Ramen, Samyang noodles, and Gojuchang paste... as currently there are limited stores which sell in my country. I'm not sure where to look for suppliers and how to find some reliable once who would be willing to do low MOQ with reasonable prices in the beginning as I'm just starting. Any help would be appreciated.
