K-Pop Immersion

• Imagine swapping dance tips and stories with students who are already on the path to becoming K-pop idols. At Seoul Broadcasting High School, you’ll step into the world of K-pop stars in the making, connecting with local students who are mastering dance, music, and performance. Together, you’ll learn and rehearse a musical dance routine, culminating in an exciting group performance that highlights your shared passion for K-pop and creativity.
• This is a rare chance to learn about K-pop culture directly from Korean teenagers who are in the very heart of it. During “random dance play,” you’ll join in spontaneous routines to popular K-pop hits, creating moments of connection and cultural exchange. Some of these connections may even spark friendships that last beyond the program.
• By learning alongside these dedicated students, you’ll deepen your understanding of K-pop and the culture that shapes it. These unique opportunities and experiences will inspire your creative ambitions and help shape your future in the arts, media, or entertainment. 

• Stroll through Jeonju Hanok Heritage Village, where slate-tile roofs curl gently toward the sky and the birthplace of bibimbap invites you to explore its vibrant culture. The savory aroma of this iconic dish, created here centuries ago, drifts from bustling food stalls as colorful hanbok-clad performers share Korea’s rich traditions.
• This day in Jeonju is a hands-on journey into Korean heritage. You’ll try your hand at mask dancing, learn to play traditional instruments, and even wear hanbok, experiencing the artistry and history of the Joseon dynasty, which began in this very city. Sharing these activities with your peers fosters curiosity and connection, creating lasting memories centered around shared interests and unique experiences.
• By immersing yourself in Jeonju’s cultural treasures, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation of Korea’s traditions and their influence on modern creativity, including K-pop. This unique experience broadens your perspective and inspires new ideas, enriching your goals in the arts, global studies, or wherever your passions lead.
