If you're a K-pop fan looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the Supreme Course from K-Pop Central is it.
I went to Korea with my 11 year old daughter and 14 year old son. I thought it would be fun to do a K-pop style makeover and dance class, and I worked with the attentive staff at K-pop central to customize a plan for us. I was excited before it began, but the experience far exceeded my expectations.
The staff will create a documentary-style video of the experience, so they were constantly taking pictures of us in action. This really makes you feel like a K-pop star. When I signed up for hair setting as part of the makeover, I was expecting something small in the studio, but they actually walked us over to a posh looking hair salon. Definitely a lot fancier than the Great Clips my kids are used to going to.
During the dance lesson portion, our instructor was encouraging. We were able to choose the song we wanted, and my daughter picked Case 143 by Stray Kids because she knew the dance a little. My son wasn't familiar with the dance or song. He's quite athletic (a gymnast and diver), but had never taken a dance class before. The teacher was helpful and made us feel good (even when we weren't good at dancing).
Throughout the time, the atmosphere was fun due to the personalities of staff members. Usually, my daughter is shy and anxious around new people (one of the reasons I wanted something private), but she instantly felt at home and was eager to show her skills. They even got my son to break a smile and try some things that were out of his comfort zone. I am very impressed with the results and everyone who's seen the pictures has commented on how this must be such a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the kids.
It was also incredibly affordable. To be honest, when I got the price quote, it was about half of what I expected. And after seeing everything that the experience entailed...I probably would have paid three times as much. The Supreme Course isn't a run-of-the-mill experience. It's something that's completely unique and will be the highlight of your stay in Korea.
