VISIT NOTES
Keep Jeongseon, Taebaek, and Mungyeong as a research shortlist, not a booked route. The approved videos show current August travel interest and name the three destinations, and Taebaek City provides an English orientation portal, but the evidence does not verify a specific attraction’s opening hours, admission, transport, weather closure, or current conditions for your date.
