Hi guys, I have lived in South Korea for a few years and I know from experience that summer is a busy time if you want to travel or stay in hotels in this country. But.....I know that there is a really BUSY time in the busy season when literally half of Seoul takes time of work and heads for the beach. The motorways are packed with traffic jams, every hotel is booked out every flight to Jeju is full. I remember from past summers but can't remember exactly when it is....I think it lasts for about 2 weeks. Can anybody help me out?

PS No Korean I talk to can ever answer this question....I have absolutely no idea why. They don't even seem to know what I am talking about even though every year the first day traffic jams are in all the newspapers......
