Even though the air quality today is horrible, Naver is looking on the bright side of things with a cute logo doodle today highlighting the blooming of forsythia flowers (개나리) across Korea.
Here's their main logo today:

Click it and you get an interactive map of flower blooming times (개화시기) for around the nation, as shown above.
You can get the forecasts for three types of spring flowers (봄꽃 개화시기):
- 개나리 (forsythia)
- 진달래 (azaleas)
- 벚꽃 (cherry blossoms)
Each one has a cute interactive feature where you press the large button on the side and the associated flowers fill your screen. Tap/click more to spread more flowers and feel the relaxation of a breezy spring.

Always cute to see Naver try to highlight something special about the seasons. Remember when Google used to be more playful like this?
Mask up today. Looks like Seoul is getting battered by yellow dust.
Not sure why the surrounding areas seem OK. I'm just south of Seoul and it's plenty bad here too.
