You love Big Bang, are obsessed with Touch Your Heart and can't get enough bibimbap in you life; sounds like you may need to head to one of these Korean classes in Hong Kong
Ahhh… Korea! We’re not going to lie, visiting Seoul is one of our fave short trips from Hong Kong, and when we’re not visiting these festivals in South Korea, we’re stocking up on all the best Korean makeup we can get our hands on in Hong Kong! But what about the language? Well, Korean is actually quite logical to learn (even though it’s ranked as high-difficulty by many experts), the thing is, when you dive into the history of the alphabet – Hangeul, it was actually developed to unite a country with incredibly low literacy rates, so once you begin to understand the tones and nuances, you’ll be banging out tunes by EXO out at the norae-bang in no time. Just head to these Korean classes in Hong Kong.
