Why choose Korea GapYear 한국갭이어 KGY?

A Life-Changing Experience You Shouldn’t Miss!

I joined the program in Seoul for three months. To be honest, I was a bit nervous since I had never been abroad before—but it turned out to be an incredibly enjoyable experience. I spent most of my weekdays gaining experience at the company, and during afternoons and weekends, I had plenty of free time. There are so many places to explore in Seoul and around Korea, so I had lots of fun sightseeing and traveling. Whenever I had questions or needed help, the KGY team was always kind and ready to support me. Although it wasn’t a long period, I can confidently say it changed my life. Highly recommended!

I never thought I would have the opportunity to intern at a cosmetic company in Korea. 감사합니다 for helping me find a company! They treated me well, even when I couldn’t speak Korean at times. Two months felt quite short, but I will definitely come back to Korea one day!

The Korea GapYear staff supported me whenever I asked for help. Later, I realized that if my Korean had been better, I could have found the answers on Naver myself. But the staff always answered all my questions. Thank you. Although I wasn’t in Korea for a long time, it became a cherished memory in my heart.
