📌 Did You Know?

According to a 2024 travel survey, over 70% of Koreans prefer short weekend trips to places within 2 hours of their home, such as 강릉, 속초, and 가평. Weekend travel is so popular in Korea that highways on Sunday evenings are often congested due to returning travelers. That’s why many Koreans plan their weekend schedules early in the week!
