Despite the relatively small geographic footprint of Korea, they do have diverse weather around the penninsula and even on Jeju Island - the island off the southern tip of Korea.
In winter, in Seoul, the temperature hovers around freezing, and although snow occasionally falls it rarely accumulates- winter weather in Korea is similar to weather in the mid-Atlantic United States- think Washington D.C., or the Pacific Northwest minus the rain.
That said, heading directly east of Seoul to Gangwondo province, there is considerably more snow and some decent skiing. Temperatures in Gangwondo will still hover around the zero mark but will favour slightly colder days somewhere around -2 to -8 Celcius.
Further to the south, the major centers of Daejeon and Daegu hold pretty steady around the zero mark but Busan is slightly warmer staying a couple degrees above zero and only rarely dipping into the negatives.
Jeju, the tropical island south of the Korean penninsula, is relatively warm in the coastal towns but in the north, Hallasan is open to skiing in the winter time, while in the south, farmers are harvesting tangerines...
Overall, January is the coldest month in South Korea, with temperatures ranging from -5 to 5 degrees Celsius (23 – 41 degrees Fahrenheit).

“Thank you so much for all of your hard work :) I am truly happy in Daejeon. My schools are amazing, and I honestly couldn't ask for more. I really appreciate all of the work that went into me being apart of Daejeon MOE. Based on the circumstances, it was pretty difficult managing things, and I am happy we were all able to make it work together.”
