K-Pop Recording Experience in Seoul – Real Studio, NYT-Featured

It was a great experience! Not only do you get to enter a real recording studio that has been used to record kpop tracks, but you also learn so much about what goes into making a single song, as well as the various roles involved. We went in a group of 2 and I really loved getting to act as the recording engineer for each other. Aiden was an awesome teacher who provided so many good tips and even greater insight into the making of songs. Love that he also praises us when we happen to do well 🤣. From now on, I will definitely be taking note of the names behind the recording and mixing of the albums I buy. If you love listening and looking out for the details and dynamics of kpop songs, or just music in general, this is definitely something you have to experience! To King Studio: Though we may not sing amazingly well 😅, thank you so much for making it such a fun and comfortable experience for us 🥰

We went to record H2H's Style with three children aged 7, 9, and 11. First, I was truly surprised that we could communicate entirely in Japanese with the help of the interpreter. The vocal coach also provided professional guidance on pronunciation and vocalization, making it feel just like watching K-Pop idols record! I was also deeply touched by the representative's meticulous and numerous thoughtful gestures. Although we ran significantly over schedule, I am grateful for their efforts to create a high-quality product until the very end. The audio data we received immediately captured the children's hard work beautifully, and it's a treasure. We are also looking forward to the revised audio. If we have another opportunity to visit Korea, we would love to come back. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Attention! King's Studio has more than one branch, so please make sure to go to the address provided in the email! (I just searched for King's Studio and ended up at the wrong location, which delayed me by 30 minutes. However, the staff were very kind and gave me some extra time, which I really appreciated 😅) There were three staff members: a vocal coach, a Chinese translator, and an audio editor/photographer. The translation part really surprised me—it turns out that if you choose Chinese, there will be a live Chinese translator! I originally thought it would just be a translation machine or something, so I hesitated for a while about whether to switch to English (because Korean-to-Chinese translations can sometimes be inaccurate). Luckily, I chose Chinese in the end, otherwise, I might not have understood some of the technical terms in English XD Regarding the recording, what impressed me most was that the harmonies were recorded separately—even if it was the same pitch and the same rhythm, after layering two vocal tracks, the sound became much richer. When I usually sing, I always feel a bit different from the original singer, and the difference might be here; I just hadn't noticed it before. Also, the coach sings really well! About 5 minutes after the recording is finished, you can get an initial edited but unmixed raw version, made into a small CD and packaged in a beautiful box. Later, you will also receive the final mixed and mastered product, which I'm really looking forward to! Additionally, before recording and while listening to the edited version, they also help take photos and videos to capture these wonderful memory moments ♥️

It's the happiest day of my life! 🤩🤩 A life-long dream came true and it's because of King Studio. Always wanted to be in a recording studio to record a favorite 2NE1 song, guided and produced by the best in the industry. Jinny is the best manager you can have, she is very patient, friendly and fun. Very very supportive ensuring I will do this right. My vocal director Jae Wook takes everything very seriously, making sure I'll do a very good job. He was very patient, coaching me on tone, timing and korean lyrics enunciation & pronunciation so I will sound on point. And mr. Aiden as the producer encouraged me to create a sound and style of my own (even when i dream of vocals like CL and Bom hahahaha). "Make it your own version" he would say. This is the most wonderful experience in my 7days in Seoul. The recording was very exclusive, just me for 2 hrs, with my friends experiencing the process as well. Definitely the most thrilling experience of my life! Thank you King Studio! ❤️🥰❤️

My family and I have absolutely no singing experience or talent, but Aiden, our vocal trainer, and other staff were so supportive and helpful during the recording process. We started off with some vocal warm up and scales, and then went to the recording booth. During the process, we were coached on how to project our voices and how to sing certain parts for the best effect. We were able to listen to the first draft of the song at the end of the session with the fully completed version to come in about 2 weeks. The entire experience was fun and enlightening, and we really appreciated all their efforts. We also received a physical CD of our first draft at the end of the session with various goodies like water bottles and stickers to take home. Would highly recommend this experience.

kings studio experience was great for my son. the producer was very encouraging and built his confidence. was also very patient providing many takes till the recording was perfect. highly recommended for those we want an experience of what it feels like being a K-pop artist recording.

Recording here was so much fun! The team was very professional and coached me through each step of the way. They were very encouraging and gave helpful feedback. I'm really happy with how the song turned out, and I love the gift box that was included. I highly recommend this experience :)

It’s was my first time recording a song and the experience was just really mind blowing! Everyone there was incredibly warm and friendly, which made me feel so grateful. They took such good care of me during the session, like dimming the lights when they sensed my nerves and reminding me to hydrate. The team's professionalism, particularly with the manager's clear English interpretations, made collaboration effortless, and it was really eye-opening to see the amount of effort and detail that goes into the backend work even after the recording. Kudos to the team for valuing our opinions for post-production as well. Highly recommend! ❤️

I had such a blast during my session and learned many interesting info. I was super nervous but everybody was very kind, encouraging and professional and eventually the nervousness went away. I am still cringing over how I did but they always found a way to increase my confidence. I got to admit they all have patience of a saint dealing with my shortcomings. Anyways, highly, HIGHLY recommended! I am already planning for my next session ❤️

My daughter had such an incredible recording experience! From the moment we walked in, everyone was so kind, welcoming, and helpful. They made her feel comfortable and encouraged her throughout the entire session, which meant so much to us. The final recording of her song turned out absolutely beautiful, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. This was such a special memory during our trip, and the team made it even more unforgettable. Thank you all for your kindness, professionalism, and for making my daughter’s dream come true. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Korea!
