Meditation via instrument play - This is an incredible experience allowing deep immersion into Korean folk musical culture. Our host Yoomin was so nice, she helped us pick amazing hanboks and accessories, then guided us through the instrument play session! Will definitely do it again. Recommend trying!!!

Must-do experience in Seoul! - I truly loved every moment of this experience. The host is an incredible person—so kind, patient, and genuinely devoted to music and sharing its beauty with others. You can really feel the sincerity and care in everything they do, which makes the whole experience deeply personal and memorable. The opportunity to wear such a beautiful, high-quality hanbok added an extra layer of magic and made it feel even more special. This wasn’t just an activity—it was a meaningful cultural experience I’ll remember for a long time. Highly, highly recommended!

Beautiful Gayageum from a beautiful teacher! - This was an amazing experience! I had a lot of fun learning about Gayageum and dressing up on hanbok! I am a bit heavier set and she still had a hanbok I could wear, which made me very happy. Thank you so much for the amazing time!

Beautiful Gayageum, Wonderful Experience! - This was such an amazing time! Yoomin was a fantastic teacher. She is so patient, kind, encouraging, and professional. We were served delicious drinks, got to wear beautiful, high quality hanbok traditional dresses/suits and learned to play the gayageum from a true master! Our teacher also helped us take beautiful pictures and video so we can cherish the memories of this excellent experience. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys music, Korean culture, and a fun, hands-on chance to learn something new.

One of the best experiences I’ve had in Korea!! - This was literally one of my most favorite experiences here in Korea! The instructor was fun and kind. She has so much experience and expertise that I was beyond nervous. I have no experience with playing instruments but the way she had it broken down it was very easy to understand and follow along. I loved wearing the traditional hanbok and feeling so immersed with Korean tradition and culture. The studio was easy to find and it’s in the cutest district in Seoul. You won’t regret booking this experience!
