Sunday, March 30
Arrival & First Steps into Korea

You've landed! After clearing immigration and customs at Incheon International Airport, our local team will be right there waiting to greet you and whisk you straight into the city. We'll make a brief stop for an orientation at the Songdo office before heading to the iconic Lotte World Hotel, your home base for the adventure ahead. A welcome dinner full of local Korean delights awaits you before you settle in for some well-deserved rest. The journey begins now.

Monday, March 31
Speak Like a Local

Today you step onto the campus of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, one of Korea's most prestigious language institutions. You'll be welcomed with a formal ceremony by the Department of Korean Language before diving straight into your very first classes. Lunch in the vibrant campus cafeteria gives you a taste of authentic student life, and the afternoon is packed with immersive learning activities alongside real HUFS students who are just as curious about you as you are about them.

Day 3 · Apr 1
Tuesday, April 1
Find Your Style

After morning classes at HUFS, get ready to enter the world of K-Beauty in the most incredible way. We're heading to the Amore Pacific flagship experience in the trendy Seongsu district: think lab-meets-luxury, with hands-on access to Korea's most iconic beauty brand. And as if that wasn't enough, the evening brings a full make-up masterclass where you'll walk away with your very own polished K-Style look. Warning: you may not recognise yourself.

04
Day 4 · Apr 2
Wednesday, April 2
Get Your K-Pop On

This is the one everyone's been waiting for. After morning classes, we head straight to the headquarters of YG Entertainment, home to some of K-Pop's biggest acts. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how global superstars are made, then step into the studio yourself for K-Pop dance training. The grand finale? Filming your very own music video. Whatever happens in that studio stays legendary forever.

05
Day 5 · Apr 3
Thursday, April 3
Seoul Hospitality

Today is one of the most special days of the entire trip. You move in with a Korean host family and get a genuine, unfiltered glimpse into everyday Korean life. You'll spend the day attending classes at your host's sister school alongside local students, following their schedule, sharing meals, and making connections that often last far beyond the program. There are no tourists here, just people.

06
Day 6 · Apr 4
Friday, April 4
Gangnam Style

We bid farewell to our host families and take to the streets of one of Seoul's most beloved cultural quarters. Insa-dong is a maze of traditional tea houses, indie galleries, craft shops and street food stalls, perfect for picking up something uniquely Korean. From there it's on to the grand sweep of Gwanghwamun Square at the heart of the city. And as the sun goes down, the energy picks up. Tonight we head to Gangnam for an unforgettable evening out.

07
Day 7 · Apr 5
Saturday, April 5
Back to the Old Style

Step back in time. Way back. We'll dress in stunning traditional Hanbok costumes and explore the breathtaking grounds of Gyeongbokgung Palace, one of Korea's most iconic landmarks. From there, the winding stone alleyways of Bukchon Hanok Village, a living, breathing piece of historical Seoul. We'll round out the day with a hands-on temple food cooking class before taking in panoramic views of the entire city from N Seoul Tower. A day that genuinely feels like two.

08
Day 8 · Apr 6
Sunday, April 6
Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Korean baseball is an experience unlike any other: the chants, the choreographed fan sections, the sheer electric energy of Jamsil Stadium. We'll be right in the thick of it, joining a proper fan support session that'll have you wondering why every sport isn't played like this. After the game, it's beauty salon time: professional profile photos, a K-beauty transformation, and the perfect look ready to take to the closing banquet.

09
Day 9 · Apr 7
Monday, April 7
Final Fanfare

The last full day is one you'll want to slow down and savour. We return to HUFS for heartfelt farewell remarks from the Dean, a meaningful moment that marks everything you've learned and experienced over the past week. The evening culminates in a spectacular Closing Banquet, a proper celebration of the friendships forged, the Korean you've picked up, and the memories that'll follow you home. Tonight, we celebrate you.

Departure & Homeward Bound

All good things must come to an end, but what an end it's been. After checking out, our local team will shuttle you back to Incheon International Airport with your luggage, your memories, a few extra kilograms of snacks, and probably a new appreciation for Korean culture that will stay with you for life. Until next time, 안녕히 계세요!

Everland Caribbean Bay

This one is pure summer joy.

This is the day everyone's been looking forward to since they booked, and it never, ever disappoints.
