Top Teambuilding Programmes in Seoul

More and more event planners are discovering the many opportunities Seoul offers for building bonds between coworkers by mixing fun with challenge and self-discovery. While the sky’s the limit when it comes to creating new and exciting teambuilding activities, below are three of the top programs selected by the City of Seoul in its recent Teambuilding Program Competition.

Aju Incentive Tours | Ancient and Spicy Seoul

Among the many activities contained within Aju’s multi-round teambuilding game, taking in traditional and modern Seoul, is the opportunity to discover Korea’s ancient past by stepping in front of a camera for the ultimate acting challenge, before heating things up with an unforgettable encounter with Korea’s fiery cuisine. At Namsangol Hanok Village, groups will recreate a scene from a popular historical Korean television drama in full dress, which will be recorded and screened over dinner. Next, team members will relocate to nearby Myeong-dong where they will have to eat a full plate of one of several well-known spicy Korean dishes such as tteok-bokki (spicy rice cake), bul dak bal (spicy chicken feet), or bul dak (spicy chicken) to win. www.ajutours.co.kr/

Jane Tour & DMC | Seoul Fun Team Discovery

The emphasis is on enjoyment and exploration with this fun teambuilding programme that introduces Seoul in a unique fashion. Centred around a race through the city, the programme begins at the Kimchi School, where participants learn to make Korea’s most popular side dish and pose for photos in hanbok, or traditional Korean dress. The action then moves to Namsangol Hanok Village, where team members dance to the latest K-pop tune with random strangers and practice the art of landscape painting. Finally, at the Cheonggyecheon, participants release their own handcrafted origami boats into the stream’s flowing waters and finish with an open-air multilingual singing competition. www.janetour.com
