UBS ER vs. Standard Chartered IBD (M&A) spring internships for ibd recruiting?

I am a junior in a US target school taking a gap semester (meaning I'll be starting my junior internship recruiting in fall 2016) and currently hold an offer from UBS ER, and Standard Chartered ibd (all Seoul offices).

I did narrow down my list to UBS ER and SC ibd, but am having a hard time choosing between the two. I know that an ibd experience is certainly valuable when it comes to ibd recruiting but at the same time the ubs name value does seem to be more relevant in the states (and really anywhere else).

I'm in a really urgent situation at the moment so I would really appreciate it if you could provide me with some advice on the matter. Thank You!
