Over 8 immersive weeks, this hands-on course takes you inside the world of K-Pop songwriting and production, where you don’t just learn – you create.

Each class combines expert-led teaching with a live songwriting challenge, pushing you to craft verses and choruses to real beats, record them, and receive professional feedback. From dissecting global K-Pop hits and mastering melody, hooks, and bilingual lyric writing, to understanding Korean studio etiquette, industry workflows, and collaboration in our own K-pop songwriting camps, you’ll build both creative and cultural fluency.

By the end, you’ll have sharpened your skills, grown your portfolio, and be equipped with the confidence and know-how to pitch songs to the global K-Pop market—with the option to take your work straight to Korea and connect with industry teams.
