My channel is about exploring myself.
What I experience while I'm making this channel and videos,
who I meet,
that was why I've been making exchange students friends from the 1st semester,
and 2nd semester, too,
I made a lot of exchange students friends in a different way.
I felt it would let me learn many great things,
and know more about myself at the same time.
Like 'This is how I am, but see! They're different!'
'Then why have I lived and grown up like this?'
'What's the difference?'
Foreign exchange students were really good for me to compare myself with.
They belong to a group called 'university',
but grew up in different environments.
In 2016 1st and 2nd semesters,
I became a friend of many exchange students,
had a lot of experiences,
and felt this one thing.
They're kinda similar.
I'm not trying to generalize everyone there.
Imagine how many foreigners are.
No, not imagining 'foreigners',
imagine how many kinds of people there are.
And how many places?
Among those numerous particles,
there're people who came to SKKU 'cuz they love Korea
and spending time with those exchange students...
does share similar feeling & learning, I felt.
First of all, they're all 'students' who came for study,
so that's one thing in common.
And without, let's say, worries of accommodations and livings,
they're mostly just trying to have cultural experiences here.
That explained big parts of them.
But there's no end for explorations,
and I consider my channel as an exploration.
If I feel it came to an end, I won't be able to keep making videos.
I actually made this plan a while ago:
After 2017, I wanted to stop finding more exchange students to make videos.
The biggest reason is because I'm not as curious as before.
Let me explain more.
In the morning, I woke up and tried to go to my part-time,
it was 7:30 am.
I opened the door,
and the roof was like,
I could even make a snowman.
I wanted to find something new.
I'd love to get out of Korea,
it could be China or US, anywhere,
finding their lives and cultures,
filming them all,
That's what I'd love to do.
But I think I have to wait more for that.
What I'm interested in right now is...
people outside the campus.
It's because I graduated,
also 'cuz my interest is changing,
I expect more stories from foreign people outside the campus,
more backgrounds as well,
and I wanna learn more from them.
I'm going to Seonleung station.
I'm meeting somebody because of that.
Hi.
How long did you work?
3 months.
He's my friend that I knew because of video.
When I met Bombom,
I was looking for Chinese interviewees,
and he became one for my video.
That video exploded,
Many people watched it.
And I met him once more,
You also have a good look.
Back then,
he was still a student.
But Bombom got a job now.
I didn't know either.
He said it's okay to visit the office, so I came here.
Wanna check around?
He wants to show the office and asked me to come in.
This is a start-up.
Hi
He was asking me to come in with the camera.
Oh yeah
I didn't put my makeup tho!
I'll try my best to...
Nice to meet you.
I'm a friend of Bombom.
Are you a Korean?
Me?
Yeah, I'm a Korean,
and didn't know it was a company on the way here.
It's Bombom's company.
Please say hi.
Hi~
Hi
Our advertisement.
On the bottom,
phone number
He has a lot of subscribers.
Not really
He's the broadcasting dance teacher.
Hi
Hi
I don't look so, right?
You can film here whenever you want.
Yeah, thank you!
Yeah I didn't expect this,
but a cool one
I also worked at a start-up company last year.
As an intern.
It reminds me of that.
What were we talking about?
So I hung out with many foreign exchange students,
From a certain point,
I felt I wanna meet more various people.
One of them, which I've been interested in recently,
is Chinese people living in Korea.
As you know,
there're a lot of news related to Chinese in Korea,
Yeah, right
There both good and bad news.
There was a movie.
'The Outlaws'
But that's about Korean Chinese.
Oh yeah they're Chinese, too.
Chinese...
Did you watch that?
Watched it.
What did you think?
Not too real.
Not that much.
*trying to mimic*
I'd like to know, 'cuz later I wanna go to China.
Wanna go back to Shanghai.
Why Shanghai again?
Not other city?
I really loved Shanghai.
But before that, I'd like to explore more about Chinese people in Korea.
I wanna know.
It was good that you came to me.
The first thing I want to know.
I wonder how it's like to live as a Chinese student here.
They're 24 hours in a day.
Like, when they wake up...
like where they live,
I see them on the street.
Near the campus, they always hang out together.
But then, where do they live?
What do they eat?
How do they spend time?
And I expect them to have some hardships.
You might have to film their 24 hours.
That's one idea that I'd like to do.
Like you make a documentary.
What?
Docu... Docu...
Docu?
Yeah, I'd love to make like a documentary movie.
I need to know this.
How I can reach to more Chinese people here.
There're many language exchange groups.
And other groups.
Can I meet various people , not just students?
Yeah, sure, including old people.
I'd love that.
You, too, can be in my video as well,
but it's just because you might be too busy.
No no
You were even busier.
You were busier.
What? Why?
You're working.
I have classes, but...
Then if I have an idea, can I contact you to make video with?
I mean, why didn't you do that so far?
I was worried if you're busy.
Is it my fault?
Let's say we travel Incheon China Town,
Why there?
It's China Town so you can go
and see if it's real China.
Just as an example.
There are only Korean people.
I know.
Didn't you go?
I did.
You did.
Oh, twice.
You did twice!
I was just curious of...
with your girlfriend.
Yeah.
Anyway, today it was really helpful for me.
Great information.
Is this the end?
Yeah, I got it.
And from now on, I'll keep in touch with Bombom,
and make videos together.
Yeah.
2018 Pyeongchang Olympics Fighting!
So fun...
It's gunna be fun.
They didn't really know about me.
I didn't know what kinda place this was.
Didn't know Bombom got a job and it was here that he was working.
'Cuz Bombom sort of provided time and place for me,
I'd like to introduce a bit of what Bombom is doing here.
*Please check out the description to find more about 'Learning Town'*
It was an unexpected thing.
They were really nice to me.
It was a great time.
There are some friends of mine working here,
so maybe I'll meet up with my friends.
I'd like to make videos that are different from before.
so I'll be experiencing new people and places.
I hope it could be great experiences for you, too.
It's 11:00 pm already.
Neither of you and me know what's gunna be my next content.
Nobody knows it,
and that's the cool part.
