벚꽃 (Beotkkot)

English Translation: Cherry Blossoms / Cherry Blossom Trees

When we talk about flowers in Korean, it's impossible not to talk about cherry blossoms. Many iconic romantic K-drama scenes have the presence of cherry blossom that makes everything so romantic. Every April, cherry blossoms bloom down the street, creating a scene that appears exactly like the romance scenes in Korean dramas.

Although cherry blossom is mostly associated with Japan, the blooming of cherry blossoms marks the beginning of spring's arrival in South Korea. There are lots of places in South Korea where you can enjoy cherry blossoms, like in Jinhae during the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival, in Hwagae during the Hwagae Cherry Blossom Festival, and of course, in Winter Sonata's Nami Island (Chuncheon).
