About Program
Take a trip to this “city that never sleeps” and discover the hype behind the Kpop Phenomenon or explore Korea’s gaming industry. No matter which topic picks your interest, you will be sure to fall in love with the food, culture, and people of this Asian peninsula.
Seoul is a very special city, embracing both traditional and modern ways of life. You will find Buddhist temples within short distances from extreme skyscrapers surrounded by neon lit entertainment, 24/7. Parks, shopping, and street food are abundant, but some of the most exciting entertainment you will see are the buskers singing and dancing in the streets. Get excited to expand your knowledge on Korea while drinking Sikhye, chowing down on your favorite K-food paired with a number of sides, and listening to the sounds of the city.
