As cold winds sweep through Seoul, seasonal snack stalls have begun to fill the streets with the familiar scent of roasted chestnuts, sweet potatoes and crispy fish-shaped pastries — and actor Go Hyun-jung is clearly savoring the new snap in the air.

The veteran actor recently took to social media to share several photos and videos capturing the essence of Korea's colder seasons. Ko posted images of bungeoppang, a fish-shaped pastry filled with red bean paste, roasted chestnuts and roasted sweet potatoes without a caption evoking nostalgia for the country’s favorite cold-weather street foods.

In another clip, Go appears in a padded jacket with her long hair down, smiling brightly as she enjoys a quiet moment. Fans were quick to note how her simple joy made the post feel “like winter itself.”

The contrast between her warm, everyday charm and her chilling performance in SBS’s recent thriller “Queen Mantis,” where she played a serial killer, has drawn further attention online. Many viewers commented that her post felt like “a healing moment” after such an intense role.

Go’s laid-back photos resonated widely, capturing what many Koreans cherish most about the season — a warm snack in cold air, and a reminder that the colder seasons are best enjoyed one bite at a time.
