Additional desired intern qualifications: Beyond the skills that we would prefer, as listed in the project description, we need candidates who have the confidence, curiosity and independence to travel to Korea and get around on their own. If you have previous experience studying abroad or living abroad that is a plus, and if you have contacts in Seoul that is also a major plus.
