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.
