Why This Program

You host the event.
Foreedom prepares the space.

Foreedom has signed MOUs with student associations from many countries, working together so international students can build more connections and experiences in Korea.

SFACTORY is a professional event venue where companies, brands, and artists pay to hold pop-up stores, performances, and exhibitions. We open SFACTORY in Seongsu and Twosun World in Pangyo to partner associations' programs and provide both the venue and business infrastructure.

The idea comes first: “We want to hold this kind of event for our students.”

Foreedom in the Field

We are already working on the ground
with many student communities.

Company tours, sports events, community exchanges, supporters programs, career events — Foreedom has consistently created real offline touchpoints with student associations. The SFACTORY program expands that experience into a bigger space.

What You Get

You focus on the event.
Foreedom provides the infrastructure.

Your association leads planning, recruiting, and on-site operations. Foreedom supports the venue, sponsors, ticketing, and partner connections.

01

SFACTORY · Twosun World venues

At SFACTORY in Seongsu, selected programs are not charged the base rental fee for the agreed area, hours, and basic facilities. Twosun World in Pangyo is Foreedom HQ and campus — the scope of use is confirmed after discussion.

02

Program planning support

You don't need a finished proposal. With just an idea, Foreedom helps you shape the purpose, audience, scale, and operations together.

03

Corporate sponsor outreach

For programs with large participation, we pursue corporate sponsors together. Sharing is based on sponsorship actually received, with the split agreed in advance.

04

Vijob ticketing & settlement

For paid events, Vijob ticketing supports sales and payment, and ticket revenue minus actual costs is settled as your association's share. No ticketing fee during the pilot period.

05

Promotion & partner network

Depending on the event, we can discuss connections to Foreedom's student, university, and corporate partner network, plus joint promotion.

06

A repeatable association asset

The goal is not a one-off event, but building a signature program your association can continue every year.

Program Ideas

The format matters less
than your reason why.

The examples below are just starting points. If a program reflects your country's culture and what your students actually want, you can propose it.

Sponsorship

Where people gather,
companies can connect.

Events with large participation and a clear target audience may attract collaboration with companies connected to international students — telecom, finance and payments, food and beverage, travel, beauty, education, and careers. Brand booths, sampling, and content collaborations can enrich your event, and sponsorship revenue is shared with your association in a way agreed in advance.

Corporate sponsorship is not guaranteed for every event. Proposals are made when an event matches a company's goals, and the final decision and terms rest with the company.

How It Works

From a space request
to the event, in 4 steps.

Your association handles planning and recruiting; Foreedom handles the venue, sponsors, and ticketing infrastructure. The final plan — including budget, safety, and facilities — is confirmed together.

01

Apply for the space

Use the form below to send your event idea, expected attendance, and preferred timing. We recommend 4–8 weeks before your target date.

02

Discuss with Foreedom

We discuss the purpose and scale, then check the right space — SFACTORY in Seongsu or Twosun World in Pangyo — and available dates.

03

Prepare the event

Confirm the program, budget, and roles together in writing; if needed, set up corporate sponsor proposals and Vijob ticketing.

04

Run the event & settle

Your association leads on-site; Foreedom supports the agreed areas. Afterwards we settle tickets and sponsorships and review together.

Apply for the Space

No perfect proposal needed —
just start.

An idea, a rough headcount, and a date range are enough. We'll reply through the contact you leave.

Base venue rental is covered within the agreed scope. Sound, lighting, and furniture are quoted first — you only pay what you consent to.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

The questions that come up most often when we review a first idea.

Is the venue rental fee really free?

For selected programs at SFACTORY in Seongsu, the base rental fee is not charged for the agreed area, hours, and basic facilities. This does not mean every event cost is free. Extra equipment or staffing, and use of Twosun World in Pangyo, are discussed separately.

Seongsu or Pangyo — where will the event be?

We decide together based on the program. Large cultural events, performances, and festivals are reviewed for SFACTORY in Seongsu. Workshops, talks, career sessions, and smaller community gatherings are reviewed for Twosun World in Pangyo (Foreedom HQ and campus). The final venue is confirmed after checking dates, fit, and safety.

When and how do additional costs arise?

They can arise when extra sound, lighting, furniture, security, cleaning, insurance, or staffing is needed. We share a quote with items and amounts first, and only costs your association agrees to are applied. Costs you didn't agree to are never charged after the event.

Are there Foreedom fees or ticketing charges?

During the pilot period, there is no Foreedom planning and operations fee and no Vijob ticketing system fee. For paid events, card and online payment fees and refunds are reflected only in the amounts actually incurred.

Can we charge an entrance fee? Who receives the ticket revenue?

Yes. For paid events, Vijob ticketing supports sales and payment. Ticket revenue minus refunds, payment fees, and pre-agreed event costs is settled to your association, or spent as event costs your association approves.

Do you guarantee corporate sponsors?

No. We make sponsorship proposals together when an event matches a company's goals, and the final decision and amount rest with the company. We recommend not counting unconfirmed sponsorship revenue in your event budget.

How is sponsorship money shared?

Sharing is based on cash sponsorship actually received, minus the costs of delivering the benefits promised to the sponsor. The split is confirmed in writing with your association before approaching sponsors. In-kind sponsorship such as goods or food is used for the event, not divided as cash.

Can associations without business registration apply?

Yes. If there are paid tickets or cash sponsorship, we decide together before the event who will formally handle contracts, payments, and settlement, and how payouts will be made.

Is it okay without a proposal, or with a small event?

Yes. An event idea, expected attendance, and preferred timing are enough to start the discussion, and we value community impact and feasibility over size.

Can we lock in our preferred date right away? Is every application approved?

Both SFACTORY and Twosun World have existing bookings, so we check availability after receiving your preferred dates. Also, being an MOU partner does not mean automatic approval — schedule, venue fit, organizing team, safety, and budget are reviewed before confirmation.

What happens if the event is cancelled?

Refund deadlines, costs already incurred, and responsibility for cancellation are agreed together and confirmed in writing before ticket sales begin.

How are photos and participant information used?

Only within the scope needed to run the event. When photos, videos, or statistics are used for promotion, we inform you in advance and obtain the necessary consent.

Does the association have to run everything on site?

In principle, your association leads the event content and community operations. Foreedom's support areas — venue, sponsors, ticketing — are divided and agreed in advance.
