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!

The most recommended sceneries for the fall include pink muhly, silver grass fields, and autumn flowers. And here are the great places you can see all of them together!
