The experience

Program Details

Join us at a cultural exchange cafe where you can participate in fun cultural exchange programs. We meet Koreans, have interesting conversations, share experiences and ideas, and go out for delicious meals and drinks. It will help Koreans relieve the awkwardness and anxiety that they generally feel when meeting and communicating with foreigners in the meantime.

We apologize to everyone who hasn't been contacted in the last few months. The studio has been exceptionally busy, and unfortunately, we haven't been able to thank everyone who has shown great interest in our community. We usually plan up to three months in advance. So, if you plan on submitting your application, please keep that in mind. Thank you always for your interest and enthusiasm for our community. Have a great time!

Activities & Shift

As a traveler, you can learn Korean culture and experience a warm welcome from the Korean community by making good friends with locals.

When you are not participating in the session, feel free to plan your outing and spend some time outside the cafe. You can also go out and have fun with your colleagues and local friends. If you want to know Korean, you can always ask for help from the staff or other friends who work here.

You are free to choose the time zone and day of the week you want to participate in, except for the first week of arrival. (Further explanation is available in the rules section below.)

In the course of your participation, we hope you will provide us with a great idea to offer more.
