Depending on where you’re living, your definition of cold can be a different. But if you’re planning on coming to Korea, you might want to know how cold it actually gets. Watch this video to see how much you should layer up!
The winter winds come for Siberia (true!), so Korea can get pretty cold. Here’s a video with your homie KeithΒ showing how much he has to layer up on the coldest day of the Korean winter!
Think that’s cold? Or is Keith just being a wuss?

Nice Little striptease there Kieth π
Good one, but I would prefer waching SongA Min showing what sheΒ΄s got :))
Anyway, -12 C is nothing. We had -25 C (-17 F) in Beijing during Christmas season
Yes. I guess Seoul’s winter is nothing. But sometimes the temp can be lower than -18C
And if you want to feel the real cold temp of korea, I can say that you should visit chorwon or daegwallyong in wich the temp can be plunged even lower than -25C in the winter.
Furthermore, chorwon is not a mountain but the weather there is super awful
*Cheorwon. ( sorry for my typos)
Well, i’ll try Korean cold next winter then i’ll comment the video π
Finland greets you =)
last year in Ukraine was -25~ -30
this year winter is much much warmer)
i think i will survive winter in Korea. im not a a person that easily gets cold.
in Ukraine -20C is normal winter day, when it is only -12C I just start thinking about wearing my winter clothes π
In Finaland coldest maesured temperature is -51,5 celsius. But it’s not that cold usually.
in -12 leather jacket and jeans are enough if you have good gloves and socks. Maybe long jhons too but it’s not necessary. : )

I have to go with Kat Nelson. Keith is a little bit of a wuss. Fortunately, he is fun to listen to, and I enjoyed the video.
I live in St. Petersburg, Russia, and have for the last 23 years. Average temp during the winter is -10 to -5 degrees Celsius. But a cold snap from 2 to 6 weeks and from -20 to -30 degrees C is not uncommon. Also, humidity plays a role. I had a friend who taught for a year in Novosibirsk who said that the average temperature during the winter was -35 to -40 degrees C, but that the humidity was so low, that people could dress quite lightly. St. Petersburg has fairly high humidity, and I don’t like it. Actually, it is a bit like Long Island, New York, where I lived for about four years.
So, Korea seems to be all right. Certainly it isn’t worth eleven items of clothing. Unless, of course, you are a little bit of a wuss. Keith, are you from California originally?
I’m from Russia. We was -30~40
You are lucky~ C:
I remember when I went to Seoul in December 2012, it was like -16Β°C at day and -30Β°C at night.. stupid gangnam taxi drivers, i will never forget them haha -_-
I live in Siberia and in winter we have usual temperature about -40 degrees ))
It’s summer all year round here in Singapore, but I am
Going to go there in late November by myself and I’m hoping I survive the Korean winter!
That thumbnail though….

You’re right. It’s nothing. But I heard the weather of warsaw in winter is not really different from Seoul’s, even if it’s much northern than korea in lattitude. And in other places in korea we had temp lower than -30 sel.
Pleaz don’t underestimate the winter of korea
Winter in Latvia get as cold as -30 celsius and in UK where I now live it rarely goes under -5 celsius
Did i underestimate Korean weather? when i see Keith on the video, i think i do.
My friend did remind me to dress up warmly cause it will be still winter this February, will depart next week to Seoul..yeay^^
Feels so lazy to buy new winter clothes, i think i just wear winter clothes i had when i was in NY.
If its not enough, will go some shopping then hehehe~~
I live in the southern US where I rarely need more than a light jacket! Guess I won’t be visiting Korea in the winter. I’d have to spend too much on clothes I’d never wear again.
I was stationed there in 85/86. Did 6 month’s on the DMZ during winter. Our eyelid’s would freeze open.We would patrol with the infantry guys. Now I live in auburn california..Its 30 degrees today and doesn’t seem nearly as cold.
