Program Reviews

Mi sueño de trabajar en el extranjero se hizo realidad muy fácilmente gracias a este programa, la atención antes y después de ingresar fue fenomenal y siempre obtengo ayuda cuando la necesito. Este programa es excelente incluso cuando mis habilidades en el idioma coreano no son buenas, la introducción fue muy amigable y cómoda. Creo que esta experiencia refuerza mis habilidades y me ayudará en mi carrera en el futuro pues puedo aprender cosas nuevas todos los días. Tenía mucho miedo de dar el primer paso pero ahora no me arrepiento es una experiencia que jamás voy a olvidar.

This year I got to attend the 21st Annual Unforgettable Gala hosted by Character Media in LA.

Having the chance to attend this exclusive, invite-only, Asian talent celebration was a one-of-a-kind experience. I was able to walk amongst and interact with top stars from the industry including Mackenyu, Cho Byeong Kyu, Daniel Dae Kim, Simu Liu, and many more!

Would I ever have a chance like this elsewhere? Probably not. It was a really special time and a really special trip. I hope this won't be the last time I am able to attend an event as special as this. #UnforgettableMoments

I also attended this wonderful awards ceremony! The venue had beautiful decorations and delicious dinner. It felt like a dream surrounded by celebrities I had only seen on TV and in movies.

The scenes of interviews on the red carpet were refreshing, and the celebrities' dressed-up looks were on point with fashion trends, making it an exciting experience just to watch.

Due to the impact of the Hollywood strike, preparations were challenging with limited time. We faced difficulties and awkward moments within the team, but looking back, it was a valuable learning experience in navigating significant projects while working at the company.

As an Asian who spent the delightful night on December 16th together, I take great pride in this experience. It truly lived up to its name as an 'unforgettable gala'.

Asia Lab was very busy preparing for the LA Awards. I began my tasks to invite award recipients and attendees as per the invitation from Asia Lab. I reached out to various individuals, including globally recognized actors, singers, and influencers, participating in numerous Zoom meetings. I consider these experiences unique, spanning across the entire entertainment industry in ways that cannot be replicated elsewhere. I had the opportunity to travel to LA on the day of the ceremony. Attending the awards ceremony held in Hollywood, I witnessed various actors receiving awards firsthand. These experiences felt profoundly meaningful and precious to me. This journey returned to me with emotions and experiences that I couldn't have felt anywhere else.

Working in Korea has been a lifelong dream, and I'm grateful to Asialab for making it a reality. The atmosphere here is incredible—despite our diverse backgrounds and languages, everyone is welcoming and supportive. Our differences only seem to strengthen our partnership as we collaborate seamlessly. The guidance from the staff is invaluable; their patience ensures we excel in our tasks. I'm optimistic that Asialab's continuous growth will not only benefit the company but also contribute to my personal development.

Interning at Asia Lab in Seoul is a delightful and enriching experience, immersing interns in the vibrancy of Korean culture. The office is a hub of diversity, with a team composed of individuals from various backgrounds, all exceptionally warm and welcoming. This modern workplace ensures each day is enjoyable. The team at Asialab, they're the warmest, friendliest bunch you'll ever meet. It's a perfect opportunity for anyone with a passion for Korean culture and a desire for genuine work experience in Korea.

I have an excellent chance to work for Asialab as a Sales Intern and it is a really amazing journey. Everyone in the company is so welcoming and friendly. Our staff comes from worldwide so I am able to immurse in an international atmosphere. In this journey, I gained so many knowledges and practical experiences of Korea Entertainment Sector. Everything here is just so great and I strongly recommend all of you to join this program together as to boarden our horizon and get an unforgettable experience in South Korea!

My experience as an Asia Lab intern so far has been nothing short of amazing. Even before boarding the plane, I felt very taken care of and assured even though this is my first trip to South Korea. The team will go above and beyond to make sure that your travel experience is enjoyable. They will help with any visa or accommodation questions and arrange an airport pickup as well as get a SIM card ready for you to use to make your arrival in Seoul seamless. I'm very excited to experience many things with the team and gain experience in the industry!

The staff and other interns were so friendly and helpful! I loved the multi-cultural aspect as there's people from all over the world. It's good for work experience as you'll be doing a lot of work for Asia Lab, and great if you're interested in marketing or sales. Also lots of research of celebrities for the interview documentary. It was a good experience to lead the Zoom meetings with influencers and acquire the only sponsor for the Unforgettable Gala for Asia Lab and other guests.

However, there were not many activities or Hallyu industry experiences. We were told to go to Seoul Con to manage an influencer, but we stood outside the hall because we couldn't go in. Then, we sat in other people’s seats for a bit before standing at the back just to watch for a bit longer. Things weren't very organised and they would mention many workshops and activities which never ended up happening. The examples on the website I wanted to do (e.g. staff or extra in a MV or drama production), they said they couldn't do. There were no monthly networking parties or 'invitations to premieres, award ceremonies, and concerts' as it said on the website. There were also no extra things (e.g. trips or travel support) with the accommodation and it is very different to the pictures (very small).

I would recommend it if you really want to experience work in Korea and have a lot of money. (They do not financially support travel for trips, even the activities they organise.)

I first joined Asia Lab on their trip to Jeonju in the middle of September, it was an unforgettable weekend trip! Although we were all nervous and no one knew each other we bonded really quickly at the bus terminal and as the weekend went on we developed our friendships. Our main objective of the weekend was to film promotional content which featured one of Asia Lab's talent, although we were working we still were able to indulge in the great tasting food of Jeonju and experience the traditional atmosphere Jeonju has to offer. Although, it rain throughout our trip my memories will always be off the professional working experience I received alongside such a global team!

I then joined Asia Lab at the Runway to Seoul event the following Saturday, again the experience I gained will last me a lifetime, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of professionalism everyone held during the hectic schedule of Saturday. Again I got to meet even more global people whilst sharing and forming our own memories. Although I was on the live broadcasting team I managed to observe the stage management side of the event as the departments worked closely with one another and as I have an interest in stage management I took this as an opportunity to learn more. Next time I will network and make contacts!

I am grateful for the opportunity Asia Lab has provided me and can't wait to join them on their next event to continue to learn both personally and professionally!

감사합니다 Asia Lab!
