Every fall or spring, my cousin says, “We should go out and take lots of insaeng shots!”

Insaeng means “life” in Korean and “insaeng shot” is a Korean phrase that means “the shot in my life that I look the best.” You might already have noticed that Koreans are obsessed with taking great-looking photos of themselves.

To take an insaeong shot, you need to find great sceneries to take solo photos, and the fall is a great time to find some beautiful ones. You should try to take some insaeng shots this fall. It will keepsake to help you remember how beautiful Korea was!
