This was such a fun experience, everything was exactly as described! Yoon was a great host/boss, he always made sure our dorm was stocked up with food (eggs, ramen, bread) and tried to keep the dorm clean by assigning cleaning duties every week. The work itself was really fun too, you spend 4 hours at the studio (either 1-5pm or 6-10pm) and it's split in 4 sessions, so you would max talk to 4 students a day. Usually I'd only have 2-3 students so it was chill. I had a really great time talking with the students and getting to know them, some of them I have even become good friends with!

Wow! Where do I even begin with this experience! I had the most amazing time at the coliving studio with the students, Yoon and other volunteers. Kondae and all the students I met will always have a special place in my heart for me. I've learned so much about Korean the coliving after connecting with some of the most lovely people here. Yoon is such a kind, amazing and helpful host as well. I left Korea making some of the most beautiful connections with people all over the world (the coliving seoul as well!) I am dreaming of the day I return to Seoul! I could not be more grateful! Thank you so much!!🫶🏼

My experience at the coliving studio in Kondae was more than great. :) The position was exactly as described & no other job was ever this fun & rewarding. Through the conversations that you have with the locals you do not only learn a lot about the coliving, but you also get to make friends & learn all about the best spots to visit in Seoul. The atmosphere the coliving studio is always very comforting & I can promise that you will feel at home. :) Yoon is a very accommodating & helpful boss that will always do his best to make sure you have a great experience while you're staying there.

I had a really great stay here! The other volunteers were very nice and welcoming, the coliving work was fun and really interesting. I really enjoyed talking with the Korean students, they gave me many good recommendations for places to go visit or eat, and I really liked getting to know more about Korean the coliving their backgrounds. The appartement is small but I didn't mind it too much. It's very close to the studio and to the subway, and since you get much free time you can very easily explore the city. The host is really nice and helpful, so thank you for the amazing experience Yoon! :)

This was such an awesome experience!! Yoon was super chill and very flexible. He didn't ask for too much of the day, so I was still able to explore Seoul the coliving local area - he even gave recommendations based on what I said I liked to do!! The studio environment was very comfortable and I met so many cool people, several of who I am still in contact with even though my stay in Kondae has ended. I even now miss talking everyday with my students. I would definitely recommend to someone who is looking to make friends from other countries the coliving local Seoul!!
