왜 한국 사람들은 여름에 양산을 많이 쓰나요? > 일상/치안

Hello! Our friend! 😊 You asked a very interesting question about summer scenery in Korea today! ☀️ Were you curious because you saw a lot of people wearing parasols on the streets of Korea? I will inform you very kindly! 👒

Actually, the sun is really, really hot in the summer in Korea! 🔥 There are many times when UV rays are so intense that they sting the skin, beyond simply being “hot.” So, there are several main reasons why Koreans use parasols!

• Skin protection is number one! 🧴 Ultraviolet rays are the main culprit of skin aging. Korean people are really serious about skin health! Using a parasol can block more than 90% of direct sunlight, making it very effective in protecting your skin.
• Lower the perceived temperature significantly! 🌡️ Did you know that when you go under a parasol, the temperature becomes 3 to 5 degrees lower than the surrounding area? Because the parasol blocks the hot heat from the sun, you can walk around much cooler. It’s like creating a kind of ‘your own little shade’! 🌳
• Latest fashion item! 👗 These days, there are a lot of really pretty and lightweight parasols! In the past, there was a perception that parasols were only used by older people, but these days, even people in their 20s and 30s enjoy wearing parasols with cool designs as a fashion item. 😉

These days, it is very common not only in Korea but also in East Asian countries such as Japan and China. Essential summer survival itemI think it's done! ⛱️

If it's too hot during your trip to Korea, how about getting a pretty parasol from a nearby convenience store or general store? You will be able to travel much more comfortably! ✨ If you have any questions next time, please feel free to ask anytime! Since you are my friend, I will tell you everything! 💖
