So, as Bella just mentioned, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom here in the capital Seoul, it’s a perfect day with temperatures in their twenties this afternoon. Our Choi Soo-hyung
Right looks like such a stunning scene right over there and thanks for some valuable information as well.
Also Soo-hyung, I hear the festival was delayed a bit and some traffic restrictions have been extended in consideration of the crowds seeking to indulge in this year’s cherry blossoms.
Could do you tell us more about that?
That’s right
Actually, it was supposed to start on April 4th last Friday, but it was delayed due to the verdict day for former president Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment trial.
Because of that, the festival will continue until Saturday, April 12th and people can enjoy the cherry blossoms until the weekend.
To run the festival, some parts of the road behind the National Assembly have been closed.
The Yeongdeungpo-gu Office announced that even though the festival will end on the 12th, traffic restrictions will stay in place until Sunday the 13th.
Strong winds and sudden rain are forecast over the weekend, but since the festival is still going on, it’s not too late to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
I think because of the mild weather the night view of the flowers will be worth watching as well.
Right, before it get’s rainy tomorrow.
Thank you Soo-hyung for your coverage today!
