Seoul demand peaks around major business and technology events, the spring and autumn shoulder seasons that bring the most pleasant weather, and the year-end period, while the humid peak of summer and the cold midwinter see lighter leisure traffic. Year-round corporate activity tied to Korea's technology, automotive and entertainment industries keeps demand steady.

Demand typically peaks around major business and technology events, the pleasant spring and autumn shoulder seasons, and the year-end period, while the humid peak of summer and the cold midwinter see lighter leisure traffic.
