South Korea Internship with Meiji Internships

My digital marketing internship with Meiji was so fulfilling from the start to the end, they made a lot of effort to accommodate me throughout this internship. The support I had from the airport pickup, orientation and also during the internship was great. I loved the sightseeing excursions we had. Most of them did take place within Seoul except of one trip we did to Incheon's Chinatown and local fish market. I highly recommend Korea for an internship but I would never work here long-term. Koreans are even more workaholics than Japanese!

Meiji Internships was very helpful with all parts of my transition to South Korea. Their response was very efficient within 1-2 days as they do have a lot of applicants in Korea. Most of them seemed to be located in Seoul, but me together with 5 other interns were in Busan which I preferred a lot! You can go for a weekend trip to Fukuoka and we also visited Meiji's headquarters there. Busan is super fun and a port city and Korea's second larget megacity. The Meiji team took us around and organized all parts of our program, from my airport pickup, sim card, public transportation card and also had a terrific experience with the help of them. I recommend Meiji for those wanting to travel abroad and be an intern in Asia as they seem to have a well established grip in this part of the world.

My 3 months in Korea were simply a blast! The whole experience was amazing and Meiji Internships did make sure I was in safe hands throughout the whole process. From the application start all way to arriving at my apartment in Seoul. The staff did a great job making the whole experience as smooth and comfortable as possible. I was placed in a guest house and cultural tourist agency where I was exposed to an international environment helping fellow foreigners to get around Seoul. At the same time I was also able to discover all the hidden spots and foodie places that this great city has to offer. The whole internship passed by so quickly and I am really thankful for this very rewarding three months I had there. I made some business contacts while I was there and will be back for another internship next Summer. Khamsamnida Meiji!

I am a US born-and-bred Korean who had unfortunately never had the privilege of visiting my home country. It had been a dream of mine since a young age to finally go to Korea and reconnect with my roots, as well as my family! Once I graduated and found myself with a lot more freedom, I decided I would finally make the dream happen. I didn’t want to just visit though, I wanted to live, breathe, and feel Seoul! The best way to get into the groove of Soul life was to start working, but without any language ability it’s not so easy - so I got in contact with Meiji Internships! They offered me a company you cannot say no to, and the company was in a field that was related to my major. Best of all there were no language requirements! The work was in the industry of PR & Marketing, with a strong focus on social media platforms. I represented a company that deals Korean goods on the international market, and I found it really interesting to have to consider the ways to market cross-culturally! However the working hours were a standard 9-5, so don’t expect to be lazy. On my time off I took full advantage of Seoul and by the end I could really feel my Korean roots, I started to get a really strange feel of nostalgia even though I’d never lived in the country. I connected with a lot of my family, and learnt so much about my own heritage. This was such a moving, and meaningful trip for me!

As a busy university student, I had a lot on my plate and really had no time to be searching for internships abroad. Meiji was recommended to me by a classmate, and that’s how the journey began. Having that middle man that takes away the stress, time, and headache that comes with searching for an internship? That’s a godsend. I worked on the digital marketing for a student accommodation provider right in the centre of Seoul. It’s painful to admit, but I’m addicted to social media, so this was no problem for me! Also as an actual student I felt that I could really understand the needs of the customers, so I was definitely in my element there. The small team I worked with was extremely encouraging. They understood well that I came from a completely different culture, and they did everything they could to ensure I settled in to this new one. Together we worked hard in the office on weekdays, but partied harder in Hongdae on the weekends - what more could you want? Two thumbs up from me, if I could I’d give it three.

I’ll be leaving Seoul very soon and I’m sincerely going to miss my new life, friends, and memories here. Since I was young, I always knew I wanted to see South Korea, and when I finally touched down I was not at all disappointed in my decision. Luckily I already had a few friends living in Seoul, so they were able to show me around and introduce me to the culture. It is fascinating. Meiji made my trip so easy and comfortable. I wasn’t sure which package to go for, but decided to pay a little extra for the added comfort, so I went for their business package. I was spot on with this decision as everything from the accommodation to the airport pickup was perfect. I could always contact them if I had concerns too, which really put my mind at ease, Anyway, I will definitely be back soon.

My 3 month internship in South Korea has now come to an end and all I can say is that I miss the country and the city of Seoul already! I had the chance to meet a lot of good people and I got along so well with my colleagues and supervisor. There’s nothing I want more than to return to Korea, so I’m now considering ways that I can return - I’m even considering the possibility of doing another internship there!

Meiji did everything perfect, in terms of accommodation, sightseeing, my company… the wonderful staff did an amazing job. I can sense that they do what they do with passion, because it was clear they genuinely wanted me to have a good experience. I would consider this as a learning opportunity, I grew as a person and got a greater sense of responsibility. An internship helped me in my professional and personal development, and it also provided a much-needed break from my school studies. South Korea is a fantastic country, full of friendly people. I chose this country for this reason, as well as my love of their culture.

Last year myself and my parents decided that I should take the plunge and go to South Korea to meet my internship requirement for my graduation, which would of course be in addition to some sightseeing. I’m glad I was able to hit two birds with one stone, because it was really an amazing experience despite all the complications (I went during the ongoing pandemic). The cuisine, the people, the culture… everything was spectacular. At the time it felt like a bit of a lost cause but it turned out that the timing was actually perfect, it was right at the time where I needed a small getaway from all the problems around the world. I’m thankful for Meiji allowing me this experience, and supporting me all the way through it.

My internship in Seoul was an educational experience. I improved my professional capabilities and gained new skills. I was also presented with the opportunity to expand my professional network and make valuable connections. Overall I grew my professional career significantly. Beyond that, I learned about the unique culture and traditions of South Korea. It is truly an incredible country. I’d like to say thank you to Meiji Internships for providing me this chance to explore it. I will surely visit again, it has given me so much. This is a good option for anybody who is looking to grow their professional portfolio and experience a uniquely different culture at the same time.

This was my first time in Korea (and Asia in general) so it was pretty nerve-wrecking! However, what made it great was all the people I met, especially my colleagues. After enduring my quarantine period, my colleagues made sure I was comfortable in my new city and made me feel like I’d been born here! 3 Months in this country was so much more than I could have ever asked for, but I’m so glad I went through with it. Meiji Internships was definitely a huge help guiding me through the whole process, especially the quarantine (I found the system a little confusing). Great job for everything, I will always recommend Meiji!

Really happy I had the opportunity to visit South Korea to complete an internship whilst exploring all the best of the country. At first I was hesitant to even try any type of internship provider to help find me an internship but with so many reviews online, I felt pretty reassured going with Meiji. I can now say that they exceeded my expectations. The process itself was straight-forward and my point of contact was always kind and helpful. Honestly they helped me get through so many complications I experienced. All the way up to my arrival in South Korea, everything was smooth as possible. As for the actual internship in South Korea, I was so glad to have met a group of people that was so open to me. I learned a lot during my time there and I still keep in touch with them. Huge thanks to Meiji for the all the help and thank you Korea for all the love!

I just finished up my internship in Korea and in my opinion it was well worth doing for the experience. Without even considering all the fun I had in Seoul, it is so useful to carry this experience forward with me, and I’m sure it’ll have a real impact on my career. This is an easy 10/10 for me.

I can’t begin to describe how helpful Meiji’s assistance was throughout these early stages of my career development. My eyes have really been opened to the reality of the global working market, and the ways in which you can really thrive across borders. Coming from a small village to the big city of Seoul was such a drastic transition, and I feel like I really needed it! Altogether I would say if you’re looking for an experience that will teach you more than anything else in life (more than university in my opinion), then you should get out of your comfort zone and do an internship in Asia.

I was surprised that I could intern in Korea as an option for my university credits, and I didn’t hesitate to say yes once Meiji accepted me into their program. I told Meiji exactly the type of internship I needed to qualify for my university credits, they said they’d do their best to accommodate and in the end they found me the exact internship I was looking for. Setting an internship in Asia up alone sounds like rocket science, but doing it with Meiji makes life so much easier. It was worth every dollar spent!

In order to graduate from my university, I was required to complete some form of internship. It never occurred to me that it was actually possible to do this abroad until it was suggested by a university advisor. I did some research and asked some people at my university, then I was pointed towards Meiji Internships. I’ve always been fascinated by Asia and all the different cultures there, so the thought of doing an internship sounded like a real adventure. I chose to do an internship in South Korea as I already knew a little bit about it already and I feel as if the lifestyle there would be good fit. Meiji were always happy to answer my questions and were super helpful throughout the whole process. They ensured the company was right for me and that I was able to have the experience I desired. I'm so glad I went abroad to intern - not only do I have the skills I need to enter the professional world, but I'm also confident that I'll be able to adapt to any working environment thrown my way.

The internship in Korea was a really good time of my life. It was the first time ever in Korea for me, and being there for to do the work made it so special. I think it is hard to work in Korea without an internship, so I would suggest to do one if you would like to find a job. My host company was a really good one and I had a lot of enjoyment doing the work, therefore at the end my boss invited me to join the company for real at the end of this year! I have to say thank you to Meiji Internships.

I did the internship from Meiji Internships in Korea working with the advertisng business. It was really fun to see what is the real Korean life like everyday, and I can say that I really enjoyed it! I had no problem with Meiji and everything was like what they said, so it is definitely something that I recommend. It was fun!

Doing an internship in Korea was definitely one of the better decisions I’ve made in my life. I was relying on Meiji to deliver a fault-free internship with suitable accommodation and a quality host company - they did exactly that. I worked with a cosmetics brand based in central Seoul which in the beginning was not my particular field of interest to be honest, however I quickly fell in love with it. In the end I managed to get some really useful work experience, so I couldn't be happier.

As they say, time flies when you’re having fun. My internship in Korea absolutely flew by! I worked as a Media Marketing Manager for a sunglasses business in Seoul for three months, it was honestly such a blast. On my last day, they gave me a pair of sunglasses I’d been eyeing up for a while, it was such a lovely touch. Absolutely amazing people! I’d definitely recommend Meiji Internships, the application process was really simple and they arranged everything perfectly for me. Thank you!
