Introducing the program
๐ Still wondering how to make foreign friends?
Looking for a 200% better international student life here in Korea?
๐ฅ Don't worry anymore!
Anyone can make 10 foreign friends in just one week!
"Is that even possible??" We can guarantee it!
๐ International student life in Hongdae with foreign friends every week?
Every week, we host amazing gatherings with diverse friends from all over the world! ๐
We hang out together, enjoy dinner, go to karaoke, arcades, pubs, and bars, all while having an incredibly fun time in a friendly atmosphere. ๐ฅณ๐
๐ Want to connect more with foreigners and have fun? Special events?
We also organize regular events like hanbok tours, exhibitions, picnics, movie nights, and much more, making it easy to bond with new friends fast!
๐ Why so many diverse foreigners?
So many foreigners join us every week because they love the fun parties and casual, friendly atmosphere where Korean participants share Korean culture and language in a fun and engaging way. They get to learn about Korea while making local friends. Korean participants, on the other hand, make plenty of foreign friends and even improve their English skills. It's a win-win for everyone! ๐๐
That's the charm that keeps people coming back every week! ๐ฅ๐ฅ
๐ Worried because you're an introvert?
Being shy is not a problem at all! We make sure that no one is left out by maintaining a 1:1 ratio of Koreans to foreigners, so everyone stays engaged in conversation and has fun! You’ll be talking and having a blast with so many foreigners that it’ll be impossible not to make friends!
๐๐ An exciting, unique gathering that you won’t want to share with others! Join us now!

What is the program composition?
Our gathering is designed for a diverse group of foreigners from around the world, where we share Korean culture and language in English!
The session is led by a main instructor, and throughout the meeting, you'll have opportunities to engage in free conversations in English with the foreign participants assigned to you. The gathering lasts about 1 hour and 40–50 minutes, allowing for at least a 1:1 interaction ratio with foreign friends, which is a significant advantage! Typically, we have around 25–27 foreign participants and 22–25 Koreans joining us.
If you're interested, you can also participate in the after-party with foreign friends following the main session!
๐ด Step 1:
The main instructor leads the session.
๐ด Step 2:
Engage freely in English with your assigned foreign participant while comfortably explaining the provided materials.
๐ด Step 3
You can join the after-party with foreign friends if you'd like!
