Where should you go in South Korea in december when it comes to the weather?

Remember:
The climate in South Korea in december is very bad across the board.

December is not the best month to visit South Korea. The climate in Jeju Island (Jejudo), Ulleungdo Island and Yeosu is bad. It's cold, the sun is not there all the time and you take the risk being faced with rain very often.

But it gets worse: around the cities of Jeju Island (Jejudo), Ulleungdo Island and Yeosu and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. We really do not recommend you to visit these areas this month.
