February 02, 2026by: Sophia Miller - DenmarkProgram: Beauty/ SkinCare Internship in Seoul
I joined this internship because Korea’s beauty and skincare industry is world-famous. It was an amazing opportunity where I learned so much about innovative products, trends, and professional practices. The experience exceeded my expectations and truly deepened my interest in the global beauty industry.
A Meaningful First Step into Korea through a K-Beauty Internship
January 26, 2026by: Rachel Durand - FranceProgram: Beauty/ SkinCare Internship in Seoul
Participating in the K-Beauty internship program was a truly new and valuable experience for me. It was not just about staying in Korea, but about actually experiencing the culture and the working environment closely. One aspect I especially appreciated was the level of care provided throughout the program. The team regularly checked in with me during the internship. This made me feel supported and reassured while living and working abroad. Overall, I was very satisfied with both the program and the services, and at this moment, there is nothing specific I would suggest for improvement. I believe this program is a great opportunity for anyone interested in Korea and the K-Beauty industry.


Unforgettable Internship in Korea
January 26, 2026by: Clementine Jones - AustraliaProgram: Beauty/ SkinCare Internship in Seoul
I’ve always loved K-pop and the Korean beauty industry. Through a Korea gapyear, I had the chance to work as a marketing intern at a Korean cosmetics company. It was an unforgettable experience. Living and working in Korea felt like a dream, especially because I had only seen this country through media before. Being there in real life made everything feel more meaningful and exciting. What made this internship even more special was the people I worked with. My coworkers were incredibly kind and always willing to teach me new things. Even when I made mistakes, they patiently guided me and helped me grow. Through this experience, I not only learned about beauty marketing but also gained confidence and a deeper understanding of Korean work culture. By the end of the internship, I found myself dreaming of coming back to Korea to work again someday. One moment I will especially never forget is going to see Korean singers live in concert during my internship. Watching the artists I had loved for so long on stage, while actually living and working in Korea, felt unreal. Those nights were full of music, excitement, and happiness, and they made my time in Korea even more special. I believe these memories will stay with me for the rest of my life. If you are interested in Korea and the beauty industry like I am, I truly believe there is no reason not to join this internship!!
