Seoul | Walking Through Korea's Most Beautiful Cherry Blossom Avenue

On Yeouido Cherry Blossom Street, I was moved to tears by a photo.
This spring, I encountered cherry blossoms in Seoul and experienced the purest form of emotion.

Walking down Yeouido Cherry Blossom Avenue that day, the entire street felt like a pink dream. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles; some were holding hands, children were chasing petals, and couples were taking photos together.

One particular vendor caught my attention. He took photos for tourists on the spot, developed them immediately, and carefully placed each photo into a frame, displaying them on his stall. I stood there, looking at rows of happy moments—

A mother tightly hugging her child, an elderly couple smiling at each other while holding hands, a girl laughing brightly while holding her dog.

I don't know why, but tears started to fall.
Maybe it was because the moment was too happy, or maybe because I thought—somewhere in the world, there are people who may never see such a spring or wait for the moment when flowers bloom.

The beauty of cherry blossoms is always so fleeting; if you miss it, you have to wait another year.
If you come to Seoul, I hope you walk here too and feel the warmth of spring.
