I have been living in Korea for 5 years, but I'm struggling with how to deal with the many bugs during the summer. In particular, the bug season in Korea is really tough. Last year, I mostly stayed indoors, so I didn't have any problems, but this year, I can't avoid going out because of my internship. Recently, I went outside for about 3 minutes, and small bugs stuck to my clothes and wouldn't come off. That day, I happened to be wearing yellow clothes, and the bugs clung to me a lot. I'm especially worried because I've heard that lovebugs tend to stick to white clothes as well. What kind of clothes can I wear to avoid bugs as much as possible? I've heard that mosquitoes like black clothes, and other bugs prefer bright colors, so I'm not sure what to choose. I would appreciate your experiences and advice!
