सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Koreans often use the weather to express their current emotional state. If the weather is good, it's expected that you are also in a good mood. The concept of 'Fine Dust' ({微細|미세} {먼지|monji}) has changed how people use this phrase. Even if it's sunny, if the dust levels are high, people won't say the weather is 'good'. In traditional Korean poetry (Sijo), good weather often symbolizes a peaceful reign or a well-ordered society. Koreans have a specific word for 'weather that is good for doing something', using the '-기 좋다' pattern.
