Which Korean Flower Are You?
Korean flower
Cherry Blossom
벚꽃 beotkkot
Brief, brilliant, and everyone remembers it.
Beotkkot (벚꽃) are cherry blossoms, the flowers that turn Korean streets pale pink for about a week each spring. Their brief bloom makes them the flower of festivals, first dates and living in the moment.
