Per Lost Then Found, who has 12+ years living in Korea, the best time to visit is covered as a key tip in their essential Korea travel guide. Tastes Seoul Good similarly highlights the best time to visit as a core consideration in their comprehensive first-timer's guide. Across creators, spring (cherry blossom season) and autumn (fall foliage) consistently emerge as the most celebrated windows, with both seasons generating dedicated content from multiple channels.
Multiple creators document cherry blossoms in early-to-mid April.

Our Life In Korea posted dedicated cherry blossom content on April 10 and April 12, suggesting peak bloom falls in that window. VisitSeoul TV also promotes spring moments in Seoul starting from late March, indicating the season can begin as early as late March and extend through April.
Sol Life documents autumn foliage peaking in mid-to-late November in Seoul, visiting spots including Namsan, Deoksugung stone wall, Hwadam Forest, and Changgyeonggung Palace. Mommy Haidee Vlogs calls autumn her 'fave season' and plans a return trip specifically for the autumn foliage. The consistency of creator coverage around November suggests this is a reliable and popular window for fall colours in Seoul.
Seoul Walker describes Jeju Island as 'Korea's most stunning summer destination,' releasing a cinematic aerial video of the island captured during a summer getaway, highlighting turquoise beaches and volcanic coastlines. saranghoe's summer Seoul vlog captures the city in July as lively and active.
