Review

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.)

Would you recommend this program?
No, I would not
