Destination Expert for South Korea and Seoul on TripAdvisor Forums! Reddit’s r/koreatravel K-Pro!

COVID Notice: According to the Korean government, COVID is officially “over” as of June 1, 2023. The only place masks are required are inside hospitals and nursing homes. Many people still wear masks outside and in daily life, but there is no legal requirement.
