KOREA / THE SIX-PERSON TRAINING CLUB

TRAIN.
PLAY.
FEAST.

Suit up. Break a board. Shoot an absurdly good—or just absurd—music video. Then put six hungry guys around the same dinner table.

WHY SEOUL COULD WIN

Leave as a crew.
Come back as a team.

Break a board, learn a rhythm, cook a feast and keep the team rivalry running after dark. Seoul’s pitch is an active city break with enough variety for everyone to have their moment.

01

Earn the group dinner

A class or condition-appropriate hike gives the day a shared achievement before everyone gathers around the table.

02

Try something together

Training, games and cooking work best when the group commits to joining in, including the guys who have never done it before.

03

Weather does not own the trip

Build the core around indoor experiences and let the mountain day be an opportunity rather than a requirement.

THE IDEA / SEOUL

Train. Compete. Feast.

A focused city trip with a team-training twist. Taekwondo, gaming and food make the backbone; hiking becomes a flexible extra rather than the entire reason to go.

Choose this for a compact city trip with a training-day twist. Everyone gets to learn something, compete a little, and eat very well afterward.

THE CASE FOR SEOUL

One crew. A completely new team sport.

Seoul is the short, punchy city contender: a shared lesson, a friendly rivalry and a table full of food. With indoor anchors, the trip keeps its momentum even if the mountain day gets swapped for games and a kitchen-percussion show.

Finish around the table

Make the market-to-table cooking class a separate daytime anchor, then keep an evening for barbecue and a private karaoke room.

A suggested crew format. HiKR access follows opening hours; cooking, barbecue, PC-bang and karaoke arrangements are separate.

SHOP IT. COOK IT. EAT IT.

Make the group feast.

OME’s market-to-table program runs from a market walk at 10:00 through cooking and lunch, finishing around 13:30. Published capacity is 8–10 guests, so six is a sensible group size; confirm six places or the private-session arrangement.

THE FREE WILDCARD

Make the crew’s music video.

HiKR Ground’s second-floor XR spaces let visitors create K-pop-style music videos. Give each team a short routine and film the results on your own phones. General entry is free, with separate charges for some programmes; the main exhibition floors close Mondays. Confirm which studios are operating. This is your own challenge, rather than a booked dance lesson.

General entry free · special programmes may cost extra
