Best experience in my life!
June 11, 2026by: Sophia Sørensen - DenmarkProgram: Beauty/ SkinCare Internship in Seoul
I decided to join the Beauty/SkinCare Internship in Seoul because Korea is globally recognized as a leader in the beauty and skincare industry. From the very beginning, this program felt like a valuable and rare opportunity to experience K-beauty firsthand, not just as a consumer but as someone working within the industry. Throughout the internship, I learned extensively about skincare product development, ingredient trends, marketing strategies, and the high standards that Korean companies maintain. The hands-on tasks and exposure to real business practices helped me better understand how innovative and fast-paced this industry truly is. Beyond professional growth, I was inspired by the passion and dedication of the people I worked with. This internship greatly expanded my knowledge, strengthened my interest in the beauty industry, and became an unforgettable experience that exceeded my expectations.
Unforgettable Experience with Amazing People

I had such a memorable experience during this program. One of my favorite moments was wearing a hanbok together with the other participants it truly made me feel immersed in Korean culture. I also met amazing people from different countries, and even with language barriers, we found ways to communicate and connect, which made the experience even more meaningful. Overall, this program was not only fun but also helped me grow, learn, and build friendships that I still cherish until today. I would definitely recommend it to future participants
