Getting off work earlier than usual

The western sky is dyed red.

Spring has fully arrived in Seoul. Cherry blossoms have bloomed everywhere, and temperatures have risen significantly. Although it is still chilly in the mornings and evenings, I can already see people wearing short sleeves. I was lucky enough to leave work early today and was able to capture the sunset over the Han River. Taking and organizing photos amidst my busy daily life is still difficult. Now that the weather has warmed up, I need to get moving more diligently.

서울은 이제 완연한 봄입니다. 사방에 벚꽃이 피었고 기온이 크게 올랐습니다. 아침 저녁으로 아직 쌀쌀한데도 벌써부터 반팔을 입은 사람들이 보입니다. 오늘은 직장에서 일찍 퇴근하여 운이 좋게도 한강의 노을을 찍을 수 있었습니다. 바쁜 일상 속에서 사진을 찍고 정리하는 게 여전히 어렵네요. 날씨도 따뜻해졌으니 이제 부지런히 움직여야 합니다.

Night view of Sungnyemun Gate (Namdaemun)

I take a bus along Sejong-daero and view the night view of Sungnyemun Gate.

Today, I sat in a different seat on the bus than usual. The night view of the city outside the window seemed quite stunning, so I took a video. The road the bus is currently traveling on is called 'Sejong-daero,' located in the heart of Seoul. It is a magnificent road that stretches from Gwanghwamun to Seoul Station. The bus I boarded passes by dazzlingly glittering buildings, makes a large loop overlooking Sungnyemun Gate (Namdaemun), and shortly after, passes Seoul Station.

나는 오늘 버스에서 평소와 다른 자리에 앉았습니다. 창밖으로 보이는 도심의 야경이 꽤 멋진 것 같아 동영상을 찍었습니다. 지금 버스가 달리고 있는 길은 서울의 한가운데에 있는 '세종대로'라고 합니다. 광화문에서 시작해 서울역까지 이어지는 멋진 길이죠. 내가 탑승한 버스는 화려하게 번쩍거리는 빌딩들을 지나, 숭례문(남대문)을 바라보며 크게 한바퀴 돌고 잠시 후 서울역을 지나갑니다.

A city tour bus adorned with the BTS 'Arirang' logo is driving around downtown Seoul.

BTS's comeback show was held at Gwanghwamun Square last Saturday. A large stage was set up in the square, and many fans gathered to enjoy the show. The logo for BTS's new album, 'Arirang', was displayed throughout the city center. The same logo was also seen on Seoul City Tour buses.

지난 토요일에 광화문 광장에서 BTS의 컴백쇼가 열렸습니다. 대형 무대가 광장에 설치되었고 많은 팬들이 모여 쇼를 즐겼습니다. 도심 곳곳에 BTS의 새 앨범 '아리랑'의 로고가 붙었습니다. 같은 로고가 서울 시티투어 버스에도 붙었네요.
