Cherry blossoms are the representative flower that marks the beginning of spring. Autumn is the ripening time now, and cherry blossoms are blooming all over Gyeongnam. Is it because of the unusually long rainy season or other abnormal climate?
Reporter Lee Tae-hoon of KNN covered it.

is the Seomjin Riverside in Hadong where autumn is getting deeper.
From one tree, petals of pale pink light spread out.
It is cherry blossoms.
The cherry blossoms mingled with the cosmos blooming along the national highway create a different scenery.
Cherry blossoms are often the representative spring flowers that bloom from March to April, but they add a mystery as they appear in the fall season when the leaves are dyed.
The reason why cherry blossoms bloom in autumn seems to be due to the exceptionally long rainy season and frequent typhoons.
[Yun Joon-hyuk/National Institute of Forest Science Researcher: The rainy season lasted for a long time, and there was a phenomenon that leaves fell (early) and leaves fell. Since then, as the temperature has risen a lot, the trees have recognized it as spring and bloomed.]
Autumn cherry blossoms have been observed not only in Hadong, but also in Changwon, Jinju, Uiryeong and Geoje.
The news that the cherry blossoms are blooming, the residents are also wondering.
[Chuo Oksoon/Hadong Akyangmyeon: It's amazing and looks good. Flowers are also confusing, so I don't know if it's my season.]
