Hope you had a wonderful Chuseok holiday!

I was looking forward to autumn, but the unprecedented heat wave has been quite a shocker.

I also visited 'Mangwon Market' during the holiday, and coincidentally, it was featured on the KBS News Plaza video!

The crowd was truly impressive.

Autumn is short, but it's such a great season for outings, isn't it?
