[@sarah-rq5ij]

[@Korea_expert]

Hello~ :) thank you so much for coming and leaving me a comment! You are coming in April ! The weather will be perfect to stroll around! I hope you will have a great time here😍

[@deborahsearle2339]

I like the ponytail! Very good advice as always. During our trip there last October the weather was beautiful but we missed the fall color. It was late because, as you said, the hot summer. We enjoyed it so much and you helped make it a very special experience. I’m so glad we get to follow your channel and see you, even though it isn’t in person. But it makes me miss you! ❤

[@Korea_expert]

Hello, Deborah:) You like the ponytail?😍😍 I am so happy to hear that!~ ☺️ A very good point you made!! Fall foliage has been pushed back and we seem to get it in the middle of November. Before, it was in October in most parts of the country😭😭. I wish you could have enjoyed Korea's fall foliage when you came here!! Maybe next time?^^ I miss you, too and we will meet again😍

[@Korea_expert]

Hello~ :) thank you so much for your comment! Oh you will be in Korea! I hope you will have a great trip and if you have any questions, let me know:)

Great advice as always K-Angel. I visited the first half of September and it was very summer like you said, and was enjoyable. I left the day just before Chuseok too, and it was a busy time to travel. But it was exciting to see. Have a blessed Seollal!

[@Korea_expert]

Hello, Rob:) How have you been?? Thanks for coming again😍! Oh you left just before Chuseok! Yes, you are right! It was still very summer around that time and Koreans said it didn't feel right to celebrate Chuseok because Chuseok is when fall harvest is in full swing and it seemed like it hadn't even started 😂 I hope the new year is going well for you and thanks for wishing me a blessed Seollal 😊

[@misbahmasood9114]

언니! 오랜만이에요! The way the visa/K-ETA policy kept changing again and again this year was quite interesting to follow! I hope things go smoother in 2025 for everyone travelling. Since Seollal is coming soon, I hope you have a lovely time with your friends and family!

[@Korea_expert]

안녕하세요:) Good to see you again😍😍 Long time no see:)! Hope you have been fine~ Yes, Seollal is coming soon and many people seem to have plans to leave Korea haha since it is at least a week-long holiday this time! I wish you a happy new year😍😍

[@jaitsadi-gee]

OML! The information you gave was too perfect! Now I know I only need my passport, but no visa or k-ETA! That's EXCITING news! You are DEFINITELY an Angel, bc you have relieved some of my stress, so TYSM! ☺️☺️☺️

[@Korea_expert]

Hello~^^ good to see you again! Thanks for watching my video as always 😍😍 You are an angel to me 🤩 I am glad I have relieved some of your stress!! Hope to see you again💓

[@densheyhey]

Thank you for this very informative video! I am going to Korea for the first time in April from the US. Although I didn’t need to, I did get the K-ETA yesterday, only because I didn’t want to fill out an arrival card anymore. 😊

[@Korea_expert]

Hello:) nice to see you and I am so glad you have found my video informative 😊 You are coming to Korea when the weather is so good and you will see lots of flowers :) Now that you have the KETA, you won't have to fill out the arrival card as you said😊😊. Hope you will have a wonderful time in April and hope to see you again!

[@Linda_Ann-ex9cm]

Hi, I will be traveling from the US to S Korea in April. I still thought the KETA was required until listening just now. Thank you for always keeping us informed. ❤

[@Korea_expert]

Hello~^^ good to see you and thanks for your comment 😍😍! I am glad you have found my video helpful ~You are coming to Korea this April! That's awesome :) The weather will be perfect in April~~ Thanks for coming and hope to see you again!

As always, I love and appreciate your uploads, tysvm! I saved the dates to my calendar too. It was relatable, yet kind of sad when you spoke about the seasons, as this what has happened in the UK also over the past 10-20 years also. We used to have four complete seasons, which is why summer was my favourite (my birth season). We had fairly consistent snow in the capital- the countryside still gets plenty, and a proper autumn and spring season. Now even the trees don't seem to know what time of year it is anymore! The summer of 2022 (I think, or '23), the heatwave was so bad that many parks dried out and my local park developed a giant crack that is still there. I'd like to experience all of the seasons in Korea, even/especially a scorching summer!

[@Korea_expert]

Hello:) good to see you again and I really enjoyed reading your comment 😍😍 I heard about the heatwave in the UK. I was in London several years ago and July was very pleasant but people say it is getting hotter in London these days. I agree with you in that the trees really don't know what time of year it is haha and in Korea, we get all kinds of trees at the same time when they are not supposed to be together haha😂 I hope you would enjoy four seasons in Korea someday:)

[@carlomascolo9437]

Hello 😇. Well, that was super informative. It's looking like I'm all set.I even picked a good time of year to visit. 😊.Even though my birthday is october 9th, and I believe i was born the year the language became official.yes I know I'm giving away my age😊. As always, you give travelers much valued information . PS only 64 days !!! Love the latest 😍 ❤️ Thank you again 😇

[@Korea_expert]

Hello, Carlo~~ how have you been??^^ Thanks for coming as always and I am so 😊 happy that you have found it super informative! That is a big compliment 😍😍😍 Oh I think the Korean alphabet was created in 1443 and became official in 1894:) I could be wrong haha,.though😂? Only 64 days!! Happy for you😍

[@carlomascolo9437]

@Korea_expert You would know 😍better than me.I thought I read somewhere it became official in 1959.But I'm sure I'm wrong😊😍

[@SJ-le7ok]

Oh Angel you can' t imagine how much money we will save after seeing your vidéo. We planed to come to Korea from 2025 october 10 to october 28 and we could' nt figure out why the flight tickets were so expansive. We almost dropped the idea to come 😢 Now with your advice we rescheduled and 갑자기 the fligh tickets were so much cheapper ! 노무 감사합니다 Angel ! 프랑스에서 인사를 Angel에게 보내요 그리고 내 아기 초럼 한국어 죄송해요🤭 👋🌸🌸🌸

[@Korea_expert]

Hello:) thank you so much for your comment. I was so happy to know that my video was helpful and you could save money😍😍 That is such a relief! Now you are come to Korea when fall foliage is in full swing:) By the way, your Korean is very good and good to get a wonderful greeting from France 🇫🇷 😍 Hope to see you again!! Merci beaucoup!😊

I'm traveling to Korea this year in April for 3 weeks. I'm VERY excited to visit your country. I will be recreating pictures that my father took when he was there with the Army 1953-1955. I will first visit Jinju, then Busan, then areas around Incheon and Seoul where my father took his pictures. I love your videos! They are very informative.

[@Korea_expert]

Hello ~How have you been? 😊 I remember you are coming to Korea this year and it is only less than 3 months away! You must be so excited about the recreation project. I really think it is so meaningful and wonderful 💓! Jinju, Busan, Incheon and Seoul will be so beautiful in April with lots of flowers 💐! Your father served the air force? An air force is based in Sacheon near Jinju so I just guessed^^!

[@nathanhannah9664]

@Korea_expert no he was Army.

[@BrunoSilva-v1u]

Are March and April good month to visit Korea? Thanks for your video!!

[@Korea_expert]

Hello:) nice to see you and thanks for watching my video 🌞🤗 Yes, March and April are good months to visit Korea. You will get to see cherry blossoms from the end of March to the beginning of April! The nights of March can be a bit chilly so keep that in mind, though:)

[@Lavendelhaven]

I will be in Seoul during the first week of May! I have good accommodation already but I am worried now that all shops will be closed some of the days and palaces and museums will be very full. Is that true? Flying out of Incheon airport on the evening of Children's Day, will everything be closed on this day?

[@Korea_expert]

Hello:) thanks for coming and asking! Oh don't worry 😍 Shops and restaurants do not close in the first week of May. It is not like Chuseok or Seollal, the major national holidays:) Shops and restaurants are happy to open because there will be lots of customers during the time☺️ You don't have to worry about leaving Korea on Children's day. It is almost the end of the busy week so there will be no Koreans leaving the country, only the ones coming back to Korea😊! If you have any other questions or concern, let me know!

[@Lavendelhaven]

Thank you so very much. Your answer calmed my worries 😁 I am very excited about visiting Korea 🇰🇷🥳

[@Korea_expert]

You are very welcome 🤩🤩 I am glad I can calm your worries. The weather is great in May. Hope you will have a great time in Korea💓💓

[@vaferia]

Me and my friend are planning to go between the 6th of may until the 20th. You mentioned the 1st week of May, is coming after the 6th of May good?

[@Korea_expert]

Hello:) nice to see you and thanks for coming! Yes, it is a great time to visit Korea and it will be back to nornal after the 1st week of May and the weather will be perfect to travel:) You will have a great time 🌞

[@blairroberts6544]

Hi, I will going to Korea in several weeks and I am confused about the Q-Code. Do I need one of these and is this something I can fill out at Incheon when I arrive? Thank you

[@Korea_expert]

Hello:) thanks for asking and nice to see you~ The Q code registration has been lifted for most countries as of January. I will leave you the link and you can check it out when you open the page. You won't need to download anything and it is on the first page you open😊 And even if you are from q code required country, don't worry because you can easily fill out a health declaration form in writing when you arrive:) It would be easier! qcode.kdca.go.kr/qco/bbs/BD_selectBbs.do?q_bbsSn=1016&q_bbsDocNo=20241220165453831

Hi, Rita:) I replied to you on Jan 16 and just in case it wasn't delivered, I sent it again this morning to your gmail. Could you check it and if not there, maybe in the spam mail section?😥 I included info on Forestella as well in the email. If you have problems getting it, could you give me any other email address?
