East Asia
South Korea
South Korea suits creators covering culture, food, beauty and city life: Seoul's palaces and markets, night views over the Han River and the coast at Busan. Korean audiences follow specific disclosure guidelines, and the South Korea site explains them. Korea pairs easily with Japan on a multi-destination trip, with no time-zone change.
Seoul, South Korea
Why creators choose South Korea
Korean culture already has an audience far beyond Korea, so there is built-in interest in the places behind it. Seoul is fast and dense, which suits short-form content, and Busan adds sea and a slower rhythm.
What the South Korea site covers
The experience catalogue with shooting notes, pages for Seoul and Busan, niche guides, source-market pages and the South Korea FAQ, including restrictions on filming at sensitive sites and the disclosure rules for Korean audiences.
Seasons at a glance
- April to May: spring blossom and mild weather.
- July to August: hot, humid and the wettest months.
- September to November: clear skies and autumn colour.
- December to February: cold and dry, good for winter city content.
Combining South Korea with another country
Seoul and Tokyo or Osaka are the natural pair. South Korea with Thailand works for a city-to-coast story, but it means a longer flight and a two-hour time change. With New Zealand, allow a full long-haul travel day and a three- or four-hour time change, depending on New Zealand daylight saving.
