It's a scam

They requested $2,400 USD deposit for accommodation, which they said they would refund at the end of my stay. But it's been around a year and a half and they still haven't paid it. I email and message every once in a while, but they make up excuses.
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). They do not financially support travel for trips, even the activities they organise.
For the positives, which is hard to find, 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. Lots of research of celebrities for the interview documentary, which probably didn't go ahead(?) 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.Overall, I learnt to be careful and not trust these things.
