Has anyone else been overwhelmed by how humid it is in Korea? In summer (especially during monsoon season), your clothes stay damp, your hair does its own thing, and sweat is just... constant.
Here are a few tips:
Pack moisture absorbers for your suitcase to avoid musty smells
Wear quick-dry clothing — trust me, cotton will betray you
Use the “Dry” mode on your hotel air conditioner if there’s no dehumidifier
Always carry an umbrella — sudden rain is super common
Go for lightweight skincare products, your face will thank you
That said, Korea’s summer has its charm: night markets, icy drinks on every corner, and cool seasonal events.
