May 2022 Workshop


NEXTLab's workshop has returned with much welcome, as it had been canceled previously due to COVID19.




 


This was our first workshop since January 2019, and so we were more excited than usual.


The workshop destination was Ganghwa-Do(Ganghwa Island)~~~


NEXTLab had grown very much in two years, so we rented a bus for the first time and it made me realize that we have truly expanded.

(Let's give an applause to all the NEXTLab staff that have worked hard!)


Since everybody had been waiting for this workshop, I decided to take out the work schedule from the itinerary and replace it with only refreshing ones.


After we arrived at Ganghwa-Do and had lunch, the first activity on our itinerary was!

“Luge!” 



 



After enjoying the gondola ride up the mountain, the view was spectacular!

We enjoyed the Luge even more thanks to the beautiful nature surrounding the tracks, and we were able to put our worries behind.



 



After the exciting Luge ride, we returned to the lodge.

Then, everyone had some free time. Some of us enjoyed football, while others took a walk at the sandy beach.

Delicious barbecue party was prepared for dinner. Barbecue is the menu for Korean camping and trips!


  



The following program on our itinerary was fun recreation time!

Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, so the recreation started later than I had planned. 

Wow, I didn't expect everyone to participate so enthusiastically! Maybe everyone missed the recreation time because of COVID19...?

(Everyone had such a great time, that when everything ended, it was 11 p.m. :D )


I'd like to give a big hand to Joonhan Kim, "The Little Mermaid," who was voted as MVP today! 



 


The next day, after a very lively night, we had tasty crab soup for lunch.  


Then, we visited "Geum Pung Brewery," which boasts a history of 100 years.

I reserved the brewery tour program beforehand, and they were prepared for us. 

As soon as we arrived at the brewery, we began the tour by taking a few pictures outside the brewery building. (There was a reason for this...)


Before the tour started for real, we sat down and had a tasting session of the Korean traditional soju, Makgeolli, while listening to the detailed history of the brewery and Makgeolli. 

 (This is not just a tasting session... I might get drunk!)

The brewery gave us many kinds of Makgeolli, which had various tastes. 

Through the interesting brewery tour, everyone was able to receive good energy from the old history and tradition of 100 years. 


 



The staff at Geum Pung Brewery gave us many gifts(lots of Makgeolli, cold storage bags, and many photos with pretty frames).

After we finished the tour and returned to the room where we had the tasting session, 

they gave us pictures with pretty frames that had been taken at the beginning of the tour.

They also made "Ginseng Makgeolli Latte" on the spot for us, and it even had a logo of NEXTLab printed on the top!

I was really moved by Geum Pung Brewery's generosity! The taste impressed me too! 

I never knew that a brewery tour could be so touching!

  


 



Aside from the various gifts, the tour was very educative and meaningful too.

If you are in charge of planning for a workshop, I recommend "Geum Pung Brewery" from the bottom of my heart!! 



 


All NEXTLabbers had such a fun time until we returned to Seoul!

I hope we utilize the energy we gained and achieve greater results, so that we could take a plane to our next workshop!
