Energized by K-POP’s and K-Dramas’ increasing popularity, the market for short and mid-term Korean language training has significantly increased. The Korea Tourism Organization and the Institute for International Education affiliated with Kyunghee University jointly launched a tourism package named “Fun Korean Lesson Trip” (FKLT), connecting Korean lessons and a home-stay program.

The FKLT is designed to last six nights and seven days. All participants in FKLT will take Korean lessons using K-Dramas and K-POP hits from 9am to 1pm for five days at Kyunghee University. In the afternoon, participants will enjoy free trips, and in the evening, they will lodge in the “Koreastay,” a home-stay program certified by the Korea Tourism Organization.

Participants in the program will stay with Korean families.

Four sessions will take place during the summer and winter vacations, and the Korea Tourism Organization will be providing all participants with either a complimentary Korea Cooking Class or a Korea Pass.
