South Korea is one of the most fascinating countries in the world. This is the land of robots and bustling night markets, wacky modern architecture shoulder to shoulder with traditional palaces. We think Seoul deserves to be seen, which is why we’ve created school trips in South Korea, to give students educational experiences in a different culture.
1) Charli XCX, Steve Aoki and Kanye West have all featured in K-Pop songs.
Head for SM Town Coexartium to see how it’s done in K-Pop recording studies and see holograms of your favourite artists.
2) The average high school student in South Korea goes to class from 8am to 9.30pm.
Let students see what it’s like to be a South Korean student for a day. Work ethic is prized in South Korea, so often students go to school, then immediately go to hagwon, after-school classes.
3) Taekwondo originated in South Korea over 2,000 years ago.
It has 5 tenets that students are meant to uphold both in the sport and in their everyday life: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit. Find out all about it at Kukkiwon, the World Taekwondo Headquarters.
4) Seoul’s population density is twice that of New York!
That’s 42,000 people per square mile.
5) Seoul has the world’s fastest internet speed.
It’s four times faster than the world average! South Korea is technologically futuristic. Check out Samsung D’light, an exhibition showcasing the giant’s coolest new tech.
6) Banpo Bridge is the world’s largest fountain bridge.
There are beautiful rainbow lights and the water can dance in time with music too!
