Main thing is it's cold...very cold. Granted this may be different if you live further south. Therefore, I suggest checking the weather of the area you'll be living in. Now, if you come from a state that does get winter then you already know what to pack. Winter in Korea is basically similar to winters back home though where I live we don't get that much snow. Personally, I hate the cold. I know I'm from New Jersey but that doesn't mean I enjoy being cold.
So if you're arriving to Korea during the winter here are some things you should make sure you have.
First, Shea Butter! I know seems weird but the air here is very dry and trust me your skin will thank you. Unfortunately I didn't know this bit of information when I got here and my skin freaked out. I usually get small dry patches in the winter but this was extreme...I looked like some kind of reptile that's how scaly my skin looked. It was disgusting, so believe when I say shea butter is a necessary.
Second, a good face moisturizer. As I mentioned earlier the air here is dry and also it gets pretty windy out. My skin dries out like no ones business on my face and it's just not cute.
Third, a humidifier. You can buy them here so this more something you should get ASAP. This will make your apartment a bit more comfortable during the winter months.
Everything else I trust you have the common sense to have. You know, things like hats, scarves, gloves, and of course a warm coat. If you're on your way to Korea now Happy and Safe Travels! ^_^
