Hi everyone, I'm Sini
today today today
it's been a while since I wore this hat
long time no see!
today's video is about Q&A
I uploaded a Q&A video in 2016 June
and yeah that was it
It's been 2 years since I filmed a Q&A
there're things that I wanna say to you guys
and also you guys asked me a bunch of questions
I hope you guys watch my vid til the end!
Let's get on to the video!
first up: what does Sini mean? Is it a Korean name?
I think people who know me well would already know that my real name is Sini Lee
my channel name is Sini but my real name is also Sini
My name doesn't have chinese characters, it's a pure Korean name
My last name has a chinese character though
my parents gave me this name
it means I give happiness to them
I'm glad that my daughter's so beautiful
my daughter gives me blessings
like that
my daughter brings me luck
so that's why my name's Sini
I think it's a pretty name
next question: how old are you and when's your birthday?
My DOB is 9/7/1992 (27 years old- Korean age)
My Korean age is 27 but my International age is 26
I can't believe that almost half of 2018 is gone
I'll turn 28 real soon....
how did you choose your major and what made you to start Youtube?
until 11th grade, I had no idea what I really wanted to do
I was interested in games and cooking
I wanted to learn cooking professionally
At the beginning of 12th grade, I asked my mom if I could go to a cooking academy
at first, my mom didn't let me go there
she wanted me to become a nurse
I don't know what she wanted but
she kept told me that I should become a nurse
but I was not that smart
I told her that I am not interested in becoming a nurse at all
eventually, she let me attend a cooking academy in 12th grade
so I got certificates after attending that academy
and the certificates allowed me to get into a hotel cooking college
now I'll tell you why I started youtube
I didnt like my college
I'm suddenly dissing my school
I'm not gonna tell you what that school is
I don't want you guys to think badly about that college
I personally didn't like my college
and I was no longer interested in cooking
I wanted to work at a hotel so that's why I chose there
but the college was so different from what I expected
I just loved cooking but
I realized that I would never like working at a hotel
so I stopped attending a school and started doing a lot of part time jobs
I worked at T.G.I.F for about 4 years
I worked there for such a long time because I wanted to be a legit worker
while I was working there, I took many photos just for fun
I made a blog and posted about good restaurants I had visited
posted about stuff that I cooked
while I was doing that, CJ contacted me
the DIA TV manager emailed me that they would like to invite me to their event
at that time, I had no idea what Youtube was
At the event, they explained me everything about youtube
yeah so the event was basically about youtube
they told me that if I make videos about things that I posted on my blog then I could make money out of it
I thought it sounded very interesting
that's why I started youtube
I started as a hobby
I didn't know I would become a youtuber eventually
I don't regret about going to a hotel cooking college
cuz I learned so much about cooking
but I've never worked at a hotel
I'm not good at talking
but my point is that
even though you think you know what you want to be, it might change
you'll eventually find yourself working here and there
you can never expect what will happen
so I think it's great to experience a lot of different things
I don't know how to end
next question: I also want to be a youtuber and I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of camera you used when you first started youtube
Samsung mirrorless NX300M
I didn't buy this camera to do youtube
I bought it to take pictures for my blog
but now I'm using for my youtube channel
next question: Sini, do you exercise reguarly? why don't you gain weights? Tell me your diet tips
I think there are so many comments that have to do with this
I'm not on a diet right now
because
I'm kinda sick
reflux esophagitis
and also my stomach hurts a lot
I think it's all because of my eating habits
I think ever since I started youtube, my eating habits have changed a lot
first, I don't eat a lot besides I film myself eating
when I don't film, I eat subway sandwiches
or kimbap
I only eat 1 or 2 meals a day
i don't eat 3 meals a day
I used to do yoga
but now I just run on a tread mill
do cycling at gym
do some weightlifting
yeah so I exercise for 1.5 hours every time I go to the gym
I can't do it everyday
I think I go there 3-4 times a week
but I don't exercise really hard whenever I go there
I just do it very lightly
not energetic at all
so I don't think it's effective
now let me tell you how I maintain this weight
I drink a lot of water
I eat 2-3L of water everyday
I love water so much
drinking a lot of water increase your metabolism
so it helps you lose calories
and it also makes your skin look better
so I recommend drinking a lot of water
next question: what's your least favorite food?
there're food that I do not like
first, i hate cucumber so much
I don't eat anything that has cucumber in it
also I do not like raw food
raw fish, sea squirt
sea cucumber
but I like squid, shrimp, mackerel, and cutlassfish
but they need to be cooked
I don't like sushi
but i like fried tofu and shrimp sushi (I know I'm picky)
I know you travel a lot
do you travel with your own money
or does Dia TV sponsor you like they did when you visited Kumamoto?
they do not sponsor me at all
Like you said,
DIA TV and Tway sponsored my Kumamoto trip because it was an ad
Tway airline gave me a plane ticket and a hotel voucher
so I decided to go to Kumamoto
yeah so Tway gave me plane tickets and hotel vouchers for my Kumamoto trip
besides that,
Bankok, NY, Osaka, Hukuoka, Taiwan, and Singapore
trips were all funded my me
DIA TV doesn't give me money for these trips
I want them to sponsor me!
are you gonna travel abroad this summer?
yup
I'll go to Tokyo in July and Paris in August
yay!!
I'm gonna film a lot there
what was your job before you started youtube?
like I said before
I worked at TGIF
a PC room, handing out flyers, an ice cream place, cafe, pizza hut, a pork back bone stew place, and a pharmacy
yup I did a lot of different things
I started doing part time jobs when I was in middle school
so I did many different things
I like your fashion so much
can you upload a lookbook vid?
there're also so many comments about my fashion
I didn't know that this many people would want me to upload a lookbook vid
my lookbook....?
I'm gonna try!
I'll do it soon
do you edit by yourself?
I edit thumbnails and videos by myself
why don't you bake?
also why aren't you doing live vids?
are there things that you find difficult as a youtuber?
because you look so happy in your videos, there are people who might think you have no problem
I'm gonna answer these two questions at the same time
there're things that I wanna say
when I first started youtube, most of them were baking vids
a lot of oven or no oven baking vids
but the reason why I stopped doing baking vids is that
I get a lot of stress
what kind of stress?
I loved doing baking
it was fun
I ate my baked goods after doing baking
and there were many comments that told me that I gained so much weight
I uploaded these vids because I love baking and I find my baked goods delicious
but people would tell me that I gain a lot weight
those hate comments were very shocking
so I was like "I need to film a baking vid but I gotta eat them after it's done....
I will def gain weight.... what if they tell me that I am fat?
so I filmed, ate baked goods, and didn't eat anything for that day
I started eating diet aid medications
this bad routine happened again and again
you guys might have not known
but those comments made me suffer
on the other hand
there were some people
who really liked me eating those baked goods after baking
they were like "can you upload more videos of you eating?"
please review those goods
you look so happy when you eat
there were a lot of good comments like that
I got a lot of stress
but there were people who liked me eating
so I was like maybe I should do some review vids instead of baking vids
maybe I should try mukbang
or vlogs
so I started uploading mukbang and vlogs
and a lot of people liked those vids
that increase my subscribers
at that time, I didn't really want to film baking vids
and people loved my mukbang vids
so I focused on mukbang
and I also thought mukbang was fun and interesting
now, I'm not really interested in baking
tbh
I don't want to force myself to film baking vids
I apologize to those who are waiting for my baking vids
I don't know how to explain this feeling
there are still comments that ask me why I don't upload baking vids
I didn't know how to respond to those comments
it's hard to explain in just one comment
so I always wanted to tell you guys about this part
many people wanted to know why
I'm sorry
besides that, I have other issues
I told you guys that I have reflux esophagitis
and I'm sick (I wasn't really serious when I told you guys this)
but I realized that it's a lot worse that what I thought
I think the main cause of this problem is my eating habits
youtube also gave me a lot of stress
that's my biggest problem
my doctor told me that stress is a bigger problem than your eating habits
I thought about why I'm stressing out so much
I thought a lot on this
this is why I stopped doing live vids
I wasn't sure how to show my bright side to you guys
I'm so grateful that there are 400K people out there who are watching my vids
but I don't know how I can make better vids that can satify all of these people
what's my youtube?
who am I as a youtuber?
I don't know how to explain this and I'm kinda rambling
I wanna show you guys me eating delicious food
I wanna film vids that you guys would like to watch
I'm not saying that you guys are forcing me to film better vids
it's just me thinking too much
before I just loved uploading things that I found fun
these kind of thoughts are stressing me out so much
I was always like "will they like my vids?"
is this right?
why.... though...
I think those thoughts
made me sick
some people might think I'm whining
but it's the truth and I've always wanted to tell you guys about my genuine concerns
I wanted to tell you everything that I'm now thinking
I'm afraid you might be disappointed
I'm afraid these kind of comments may make you feel uncomfortable
I'm sorry
I don't know why tears are coming out
why...?
I want to film stuff that i find fun
hope you guys understand me
am I too serious?
I tried so hard not to cry
I wanna take a break for 1 week
I don't want to think about serious stuff for a while
I wanna show my bright side to you
after I week, I will def start uploading vids
I think I'll spend that one week filming many different stuff
I just don't wanna touch my laptop
so I'll take a break
finally I wanna talk about my boyfriend Rangmi
there're so many questions about Rangmi
I just didn't answer to those questions on purpose
because I have never revealed his face in my vids so many people wanted to know more about him
I understand why you want to know
I can say stuff about him
but I think I shouldn't say his private stuff. I respect his privacy
hope you understand
it was a long vid
I'll come back soon
see you guys next week!
thank you for watching til the end and I love you!
bye!
