KPOP, Korean Culture and more! Asia Pathway Summer School in Seoul

Make Seoul your summer classroom with an international program combining Korean-language learning, KPOP and cultural experiences in the heart of Hongdae. Open to students aged 12 and above, the program welcomes participants from around the world for stays starting from two weeks.

The program is based around five minutes on foot from Hongik University Station, placing students close to Hongdae's restaurants, cafes, shopping streets, music, fashion and street culture. Morning Korean classes normally run from 09:30 to 12:20, Monday to Friday, followed by Special Focus Lessons, cultural activities or KPOP sessions depending on the selected course. The sample timetable is not a full-day schedule, leaving free time outside the planned classes and activities.

Students can choose a Semi-Intensive Korean course or a KPOP course combining Korean lessons with dance, vocal training and practice time. Korean classes develop practical language skills through a systematic curriculum, regular feedback and written and speaking tests. KPOP experiences may include HiKR Ground, dance-studio visits, entertainment-company tours, BTS-themed locations and live-show opportunities, subject to the final schedule and any additional participation fees.

The social and cultural program may include a welcome party, Korean food tours, traditional activities, palace visits in hanbok, Han River picnics, Korean cooking, market races, karaoke, N Seoul Tower, Lotte World, Everland, laser tag and KPOP dance experiences. Activities are accompanied by program staff, helping students explore Seoul, meet friends and experience traditional and contemporary Korean culture. Schedules may change because of weather, participation levels or local conditions, and some activities require an additional fee.

The two-week package includes a welcome pack, Korean lessons with native teachers, hand-picked Single Room G1 accommodation, round-trip Meet & Greet airport transfers, 24/7 student support, language activities and workshops, social and cultural activities, course books and materials, orientation, placement and progress testing, a course certificate and graduation ceremony, school Wi-Fi, and travel and medical insurance. Twin rooms and homestay options for teenage students may also be available.

Optional weekend trips can include Busan or Jeju.

The package starts from USD 2,608 for two weeks with the Semi-Intensive Korean course and Single Room G1 accommodation under the documented promotional rate. Flights, meals, local transportation, personal expenses, selected premium activities and optional weekend trips are not included.
