KPOP, TOPIK and more! Asia Pathway Korean Language Program in Seoul

Learn Korean in the heart of Hongdae, Seoul, around five minutes from Hongik University Station. With new students able to begin every Monday throughout the year, this flexible program lets you study from a minimum of two weeks and choose the pace and focus that matches your goals.

Choose General Korean with 25 blocks per week, Semi-Intensive with 29 blocks, Intensive with 35 blocks, the K-POP course with 34 blocks, or TOPIK Preparation with 29 blocks. One block is 35 minutes, and each course also includes a 20-minute bonus block.

The K-POP option combines Korean lessons with dance and vocal classes plus K-POP-themed activities such as HiKR Ground, dance-studio visits and entertainment-company tours.

Special Focus Lessons connect Korean with current trends, culture and real-life situations, while language activities, workshops and social and cultural programs help students experience Seoul beyond the classroom.
