Two Months in Seoul: How Five Interns Made This Summer Their Own

This past summer, university students from the U.S. and the U.K. took part in an internship program and spent a meaningful summer in Seoul with us. When they first set foot in Korea, they were likely a mix of excitement and nerves. Over the course of two months, each of them learned how the job worked in their own way, settled into a new city, and gained fresh perspectives through a culture different from their own.

Their individuality really came through in how they chose to share their reflections. Kelsey put together her time in Korea as a mini magazine, weaving her own photos into a heartfelt travel journal.

Chloe built her own interactive webpage, vividly capturing everything from her morning commute to the office to lunch with teammates.

Samantha and Nasheeta, using nothing but PowerPoint, created a beautifully designed diary-style piece that traced their own growth by comparing who they were before and after the internship. To every intern who put this much care and creativity into their work amid a busy schedule, we want to say thank you.

Some took on client work for the first time and completed it even though the pressure was new to them. Others picked up new skills in analyzing data and turning it into content. And some felt Korea most in the small moments — a drink at a café after work, dinner with colleagues, weekend trips here and there. Their reflections were full of these little signs of growth, both at work and in life.

We hope only good things lie ahead for these interns, who leave having grown even more than when they first arrived. We sincerely hope that the summer they spent here becomes a small but solid foundation for wherever they go next.
