Golden hour in Seoul
Golden hour is the stretch just after sunrise and again just before sunset when the sun sits low and its light turns warm and soft. Its length depends on latitude and the time of year, so it is worth checking the exact window for Seoul rather than assuming a flat sixty minutes. In Seoul the evening golden hour is longest around the June solstice, at roughly 41 minutes, and shortest around the December solstice, at about 39 minutes. The higher the sun climbs at noon, the more steeply it drops at the end of the day, so places nearer the equator get shorter golden hours than high-latitude cities in summer.
