Ask what Korea is talking about.

Seoul recorded its first snowfall of the season on Sunday, November 8, 26 days earlier than last year's December 4, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). The snow was observed at the Seoul Weather Station in Jongno District's Songwol-dong, marking the earliest first snow since 2010, though flurries were light and did not accumulate. The KMA also noted this year's first snow came 12 days earlier than the average date of November 20, with early winter cold driving the phenomenon. Korean media widely reported the event, with outlets like Yonhap, KBS World, and the Korea Times highlighting the early arrival. Bloggers and café members reacted with surprise and nostalgia, sharing photos and comments like "The day we promised to meet when the first snow falls has already come," reflecting a mix of excitement and concern over the unusually early winter weather.
