The good parts, and the letdowns
Students from 8 countries finished the 4-week program. These are their real, unedited reviews.
The biggest thing for me was learning straight from industry people I would never have met on my own, and getting my questions answered on the spot. It was only after the resume and portfolio feedback that I found the nerve to start applying
Room to improve It was so good that it left me wanting more. I would have loved to dig deeper into concert planning and global tours
The sound class was my favorite. That was the first time I realized how much gets prepared behind the scenes before a single show reaches the stage
I loved hearing something new about the K-pop industry every week. I had no idea what to prepare for, and now I can picture it
I saw with my own eyes how the music actually runs behind the stage. Honestly, without this class I never would have had the courage to apply to a Korean company
