back in LA 🌴 moving plans to NYC/europe (?), starting invisalign, snow/rain in LA, cooking at home 

I’m so jealous of your situation!! The fact that you can afford to move around and experience so many things is wonderful! Enjoy every minute while you can ❤

Living in NYC and Europe sounds amazing! I think that you're in a great position to do so, seeing that you can work from anywhere in the world, and 29 is a great age to hop around for a bit, I think (before having even more responsibilities, such as starting a family or who knows what else). I personally think that one cannot "find" happiness in a place, exactly, but traveling around and experiencing different cities, cultures and people can help us develop a different perspective about life and ourselves. So I think that moving isn't a way to find happiness per se, but it is a tool that can help in the process of doing so ❤ You know that we'll be watching your vlogs from wherever you are!! And even though I think I'm more of a sunset girl myself, I love it when you show us the sunrises 🌇

If you ever come to Madrid, Spain, know that you have a friend here already who can take you coffee hopping like crazy haha If you book airbnbs with time Madrid could be very affordable. The cost of food and eating out is one of the best in Europe too. I’m not Spanish but I’ve lived here for 5 years already and I totally recommend it. The culture, lifestyle, the food, the social life… I think you will love it. 😘

Hey Kieun! I am currently living in South-West Germany with my husband for military reasons. There are so so many wonderful things about living in Europe even for just a year. We've been here for 3 years and sadly are leaving to the east cost in the states in November to our last assignment. I cannot recommend Germany or Europe enough. Just the experience here and the culture has been such a life changing wonderful experience. I remember being absolutely terrified of living in a country I had trouble communicating in, but I've met some incredible people, had some wonderful food, and saw amazing pieces of history. The summer is quite amazing in EU but the winters are very harsh. I think no worse than South Korea so you may not have to worry too much. The days are very short here and it's often cloudy and gloomy year round minus the months of summer. We have to worry a lot about seasonal depression here. I very much enjoyed my years here and made some incredible friends. The culture is very different and can be shocking at first but once you've adjusted it's such a great region to experience and travel around. Its very common to just travel to another country over a weekend or take a train 4 countries away for a day. They have some incredible food experiences and cafes out here too! The churches and historical buildings will really take your breath away. I think my favorite place I've been to was Amsterdam; some of the friendliest, kindest, and unique people there. Germany is super fun too. Their breads and meats are amazing! I hope you get to travel here soon if not get to stay for a while. It's an incredible experience.

Sunset girl! You should totally move to NY and also Europe! You are still so young! It's the best time to live out your dreams. I never once regretted moving from NY to Korea, then Singapore.

My advice for moving to New York or Europe is: just do it :😊 If you feel like it's gonna make you happy , nothing should stop you. I'm 41 years old now and I travelled a lot and moved around when I was younger and looking back it's the best thing I've done! Once you decide to settle down with or without a special someone, once you get older - you might still travel but - in my opinion: it's half as much fun 😅 When you have a home you feel comfortable in you'll find yourself during a trip, thinking: "Man, I wish I was home already!" 😂 The travelling process will become more physically draining and responsibilities may increase: f.e. if you're having kids or maybe your parents will need support & care as they get older... So just do it, you're young & free 🙌🙌🙌 PS: I would definitely recommend Denmark or Netherlands if you look for calm & peaceful places with kind people, maybe Verona (most italians are also very friendly) or if you want a bit more excitement: Paris, London or Berlin. Looking forward so see what's next 4 u 😘

When I hit 28 I moved from eastern Maryland to Denver Colorado just because I needed a change. I lived there for two years and decided I wanted to try Seattle Washington; lived there for a year. Now I'm back on the east coast and I'm so glad I gave other states and cities a try before landing where I belong, for now :) Take those chances and explore the world and yourself, I think the rest will fall into place. ❤

thank you for another vlog kieun❤ the airbnb idea is a really great idea! i feel like NYC is very Seoul like with how fast paced the lifestyle is in the city, it may suit you!

I’ve been a long time follower since your very first vlog, and I can say with complete certainty that I absolutely preferred your Seoul vlogs; you seemed so much more at home and comfortable there. Travel while you’re young for sure; it’s the best time in life to do so. Happiness is found within ourselves…we make our own! Just as an outsider looking in, I felt you really emanated more peace and happiness in your Seoul vlogs. As always, I’m here wherever you go! 🫶🏻

Love you aesthetic and comfy vlogs💖

I love how real you are in your vlogs. I can so relate to the whole searching for happiness in other cities

I’ve been on a kieun vlog marathon since I discovered you this week!!!!!!!!!

Living both in NY and Europe sounds like a great plan Keiun! Such an amazing experience for sure 👏✨️ can't wait to come along no matter what you decide to do ❤️

I lived in Spain for a year and really loved it! There are so many opportunities to do homestays in Spain as well - and it's a really good way to experience the culture first hand, and learn more of the language! :)

Yay a new vlog! What a good start to Friday.

Your vlogs are really comfy and therapeutic.

u give me paris vibes!! I think u would totally match the paris aesthetic!🫶🏼 i hope u find ur way. ur vlogs always cheer me up!! Love💗

Awww...you'll have so much fun in NYC Kieun! You inspire so many people. I know no matter what decision you make you'll make the most out of each city. I've been moving from one city to another for the last 3 years (within the U.S. but hopefully abroad soon!) and I never regretted any of them.

I started to follow you 2 yrs ago, and I didn't know why I like your videos so much. But this video explains the reason, I feel like we are the same type of person. I like travelling and exploring different cultures, my dream is to live in different cities different countries for a few moths. I'm planning to move to Thailand, but I'm so stressed about it (mostly becoz of finance). Your vlogs once again encourage me. Wish you all the best with your future plans! :)

I could totally see you living in nyc! it’s so much easier to travel here than LA and everything is just a bit more convenient- as an avid viewer of your vlogs I highly recommend 🥳

LOVE your vlog!!! And also love the fact that you are in a real explore phase of life. Very excited for you and your journey of discovery. So many new cities, cultures, vibes out there. Have fun!!!

Girl. You are so brave to go out and just and live it! I’m so excited for you! I’m thinking about doing similar things but career wise it’s a little limiting. BUT YAYYY! I think it’s amazing that you’re having all these moments in different areas of the world.

Travel more! Experience is the great investment someone could have. You can try moving to NYC then Europe. Chase sunset ❤🌇 I hope someday you’ll truly find your happiness ❤

I lived in Paris and go back and forth from Europe to NYC. The flight isn't as bed, it's like flying from the east to west coast. I love Paris so much and can't so enough things about how much the quality of life in Europe is a lot better. Unfortunately, the pay and job opportunities aren't as great abroad compared to the United States, but you can't just live to work!!! Love your videos and can't wait to see where you end up.

moving around often is one of the best things i ever did before "settling" somewhere. i say live as many places as you can before you go back to where you're comfortable! especially while you're young and dont have to worry about family

I live in Europe, The Netherlands 🇳🇱 🎉 Yay for rain 🌧️ that’s something to remember before going for (north) Europe

I think the airbnb idea sounds like a good idea regarding Europe, and it sounds super fun as well :)

I say go for it! If given the chance, I would also love to experience living abroad. Same age here and I thought I’m the only one who still feels lost. It’s comforting to know that I’m not alone with this thought. It’s very relaxing watching your vlogs. Goodluck, Kieun!

Hello Kieun! I am currently living in southern Germany studying abroad for one semester and I couldn’t recommend staying in Europe enough! I stayed with a host family my first month here and had the most amazing time with them. I took this opportunity because I didn’t know when else I would be able to live in Europe and I can’t explain how happy this decision has made me. I am also taking this time to find myself and I love how central my area is to other places in the EU. I have already traveled to a bunch of new places for a much lower cost that if I were to fly from LA so I definitely think you should try it out!

I love the way you film/edit your cooking. It’s so relaxing to watch and always makes me hungry lol. Also re: moving.. airbnb-ing around sounds like a good idea!! Maybe you could use DC as your home base and then go to a few different places?? Also I feel like the things you don’t like about LA will be ten fold in NYC… like dirtiness, expenses, etc.

Can't wait to watch it😆😆 its time to make my day 10 times better ❤❤

hey Kieun, I'm also turning 29 this year and have very similar thoughts myself about life. I currently live in Colorado but would love to live in Europe. Seems like a great way to travel around the world and experience different cultures. Honestly, I could understand not wanting to settle in LA as I have family there and used to frequent for vacations and work. I could see you enjoying living in the city because I think we might have similar interests. Best of luck!

waiting to see your new adventures! What a thrill

Yeyyy new vlog!!🥰 Love you Kieun unnie!😘💕💕💕

Enjoying your "welcome back" in L.A. vlog btw stay dry (cloudy sometimes rainy) 😍🎀💕

Kieun, really lovely vlog as always! And excited for your future plan. Really admire your courage.

I’m excited to see your living in NYC AND EUROPE vlogs 😍😍😍😍😍😍

I spent the entire last year moving around and eating food in like 12 different countries and living out of airbnbs. It was fun, but very stressful because you have to relearn everything in each new country. And Airbnbs never really feel like home. I'm very introverted and change averse, but also I can survive without having any social interaction. I'd say loneliness and anxiety/stress are the two biggest things that get people when they travel full time. You probably had a good taste of that moving from Seoul to LA. Wish you the best and I hope you find lots of grandmas to make you food :)

Hey Kieun!!!!Love love your videos .Lots of love💕

i cannot wait for your NYC cafe hopping vlogs!!

You are so elegant. Thank you for spreading beauty in everyday, helps us ❤️

Hi Kieun, Nice seeing you again. I enjoy your LA apartment especially the view of sunset and sunrise that greets you every day, There is magic in seeing rainbows. The end of one landed in my backyard once and I was thrilled by it. I think you should travel while you can enjoying any place you stay in. Wherever you go there is comfort in knowing that your many followers will be eager to start up friendships and help you explore the area. I could see you enjoying Europe. I have been to France, an experience that opened my mind to history, displays of vegetables and fruits in markets, flower shops full of colours, old bookshops and stores. It inspired me to paint and draw and write about France, since that is where I was. It filled me with a love for models and Yves Saint Laurent. It filled me with great joy in simply walking around, talking with locals and seeing different events unfamiliar to me, basically a country boy. In big cities like NYC, I enjoyed the theatre, central park zoo and just being there. I was outside of my shy skin, fresh and felt the buzz of the city. It was all brief, I ended up back in the country again. I say enjoy your life while your health is good, you never know where it will take you but you will be filled with new and beautiful memories. The main thing to think about is that you will never be alone, wherever you go, people will look out for you thanks in part to all the ties you've created by putting yourself out and sharing your life. To me. I see Korea as being filled with people who are kind, something I need in my life to give me hope. The art in all places including the meals I also think is prety amazing. Spread your wings and fly, soak in your joys! I think you always have a home and parents to stay with so when you need a rest, a re-energizing, they will be there and then you can take flight again. Enjoy testing!

this is such a dream! you showed parts of LA I never knew before! what a wonderful video!

I love your videos I always look forward too them I wish u happiness anywhere you go such a sweet human ❤

I like the sunrise too.

Love that your footages are stable. Sometimes I get dizzy if the camera shakes too much but all of your vlogs have solid stable shots!

Hi! Can't wait to watch the video ✨

I wish you happiness Kieun! 💕

With regards to getting lost, I watched a filmmaker recently "Isobel Hope" and her dad said "it's fun to get lost, it's where you get found" that made me feel better about being lost most of the time.

Would be a dream come true to move to nyc 😍 best views ever

Love you Kieun. I enjoy watching your videos, they make me so happy 😊🤗 Thank you for being you and God bless you abundantly! 💜💜

Ive been in nyc for 5 yrs now and there are still restaurants and cafes on my list I want to try, theres just so much here. Its not as cute as seoul cafes, but there is always something new and trendy. And I have almost everything I want at my fingertips, its so convenient. There are multiple boroughs and so many neighborhoods to explore. And its a city easier to live in when you are younger / dont have kids, so I recommend giving it a try when you can. If you just want to test it out, you can try subletting instead of signing a year long lease

it would be so looking forward if you could have a vlog on how to expand social circles when you move to a new city

I love love the sunrise😍

so happy to see your video today! clicking thumbs up before even starting the video :)

Finally! I was waiting for a new video. 🤞🏼❤️ love you.

Sunsets ❤ And yes! Do it! Like you said - when, if not now? Travelling Europe is a great idea. There are many different countries in Europe. So many different cultures to experience. Many different cuisines, vibes and lifestyles. I think it would be a great experience ❤

❤️ can’t wait to see all the yummy food your mom is going to make you! Enjoy your time with your lovely fam!

💖Sunrise..sunsets makes me kinda sad, it's like the end of a day.. Always a good idea to stay, travel to any place you fancy whenever you can, able to..✨

i love that you are in book of the month! love your videoss

I am from London, lived in Austria and Barcelona for several years, moved to San Francisco for 2 years and have been living in NYC for 7 years! If you ever came to NYC I’d happily give you my two cents on my experience! I think the wanderlust never goes away and the more places you experience the harder it is to find the ‘perfect place’ to settle down. That said, London is great if you have money and definitely during summer! NYC is kind of like London and having just visited Seoul this month I think you would feel more at home here than LA! The walkability factor and great public transportation makes it so super for exploring and there’s new places always popping up to discover! The compromise here is it’s so dirty and you’ll definitely be living in a MUCH smaller place! Oh and if you choose Europe BCN is a wonderful choice and maybe Paris! Good luck Kieun, looking forward to continuing seeing your adventures x

Your life is a vibe. Nothing like a sunset. New York would be fun. You're young, live your life. I'm excited for your next adventure. Great video.

Peace ful vlog 💕

First❤ eonnie I just want to tell that you have a nice view in your apartment 💖 it feels good to see your beautiful smile too❤

I live in London and can only say Europe is much better in Summer! I personally would like to see you do vlogs and cafe hopping in London 😂but if you love Seoul, I figure you will find Europe a little boring if you are staying more than 6 months alone! You may love Spain tho ❤

Come to Madrid! Nice weather, amazing food, kind people, a bit expensive but not so much… 🥰❤️ And traveling around Spain is such a wonderful experience too!

My 2 cents: Moving around for a while/experiencing new places might help you gain new perspectives and while you might not find exctly what you are looking for, you will definetly grow in one way or another. It's all about the journey anyway - so if you are able to, go for the thing that excites you the most right now, be it travelling or something else. Been a follower for a while now, your vlogs are always something I look forward to, thank you for sharing your experiences with us 😊

Loved this video. I've lived most of my life in San Diego, but have also lived in NYC and Lisbon, Portugal. I would love to live in Paris, but cannot afford to live the life I'd want there. Currently living in Bangkok and loving it. My best advice to you is to go the short-term rental route in NYC and wherever you choose in Europe. I think you love the flexibility of moving around (embrace it!), and you should keep your options open. You're already so much happier in this LA vlog knowing you're moving on 😃 Absolutely nothing wrong with trying out a place to see whether you like it, without committing to a long-term lease. It's the best of both worlds, really. Can't wait to see what you decide 💞

i just watching your old vlogs and when i saw this vlog it makes me so happy! i hope one day, you can come to my city and meet with you :)

omg more book content please!!

Good luck on your decision for moving❤🌺🍭🍃

Was surprised you wanted to move to LA to begin with. It's such a different vibe there these days and it lost its magic imo. Always good to experience different areas though and see how you resonate. NYC would definitely be an adventure if you're not planning on living there long term. Excited to hear you will consider moving back to Seoul after travelling etc eeeee

Your breakfast looked sO yummy 😋 I love the way you cut the 🥭 😎

Oh, sunrise, definitely

I feel like NYC would suit you in terms of a city that's more convenient in it's walkability and public transportation, closer to your seoul experience than LA. wish you the best!

Sunrise 🎉😎 ….makes driving a lot easier. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Okay I haven’t even started watched the video but I got excited at that possible “‘moving to Europe”😍 I have got a question Kieun! Next month I’ll be traveling to South Korea, I have noted all the possible places to go to eat and drink coffee that you recommend in your videos 😍 But because your skin is absolute perfection, could you please recommend me some good Korean skincare brands whose products I could purchase for a glowy and dewy complexion? Thank you so much!💛✨

Hi Kieun, I have always wanted to visit Europe… I’m happy you 🥰

Thanks for the cafe recommendations, will have to check them out next time I am in DTLA!

As your viewer im excited to see you live in europe i think it would be a great journey for you and exciting to see you exploring europe :)

Hi Kieun! I'm a native New Yorker-i think you would love NYC. Though, like you're already thinking about- it is very expensive to live here; even the short-term AirBnB stays are costly! I'm so glad you're thinking about all of the pros and cons. I work in the arts/culture sector and can be your museum-hopping buddy if you need one. ✨ positive vibes on your decision! - Katherine

I've been living in NYC for about 7 years and I'm not gonna lie it was a little hard adjusting for the first year or so, but now I'm so happy that I live here and I can't imagine myself anywhere else. It is veryyyy expensive, everything is very fast-paced, and apartments aren't very spacious but I'm sure you can find something that you'll like! I feel like the cafe scene isn't too great here (compared to Seoul at least!) but the restaurant scene is a whole different story and I think NYC has the best food in the world. :) If you do move here, I can't wait to see your content!

Hi Kieun, I currently live in the UK and have been toying with the idea of moving to Eastern Europe for at least 12 months to experience the cultures for YEARS now! As it's my husbands home country and we both really want to experience what life would be like together there, the only thing holding us back at the moment is finances. So if you've got the financial means and your heart wants then I say do it!! I don't think you'd regret the experience, like you say if not now then when? ❤

Europe!! :) something different and you can visit and travel to so many more places in the area!

Omg definitely travel Europe... I feel like 6 months in NY and 6 months in Europe would be the best option. I'm from Italy and I'd 100% recommend Italy, Spain, Portugal and Germany, the Czech Republic, Croatia etc. There are so many different cultures, and so much to experience! Life is not meant to live in one place. Go out there and live it up for the last year of your 20's!!!

Sunsets!!

such a dream to be able to move around and explore new places! i think you should go for it, and i’m excited to where you’ll find yourself 🥰

Thank you for being so open and vulnerable about where your at right now. I would say pray on it and speak to people who can give you wisdom. If you do decide to visit London where I’m from, I’d be happy to give recommendations of places to visit like museums and markets. Also I really enjoy your South Korea and cafe hopping vlogs 😊 also I’m all for sunsets AND sunrises if I wake up early 😂 take care ☺️

Definitely research into LIC (Long Island City) for New York City! It's a quick subway ride, easy access from 7, E, R, N, W lines - going into SoHo is 20 mins! The buildings are newer, area is super safe, and rent is significantly cheaper than Manhattan. I use to live in UES and LES with about the same price of rent but WAY older buildings. I've lived in Paris half a year and got homesick really fast, it was the most independent, growing, and lonely period of my life. Not sure if I could do Europe alone again but definitely an adventure in itself!

Your videos and vlogs its the best forEver.💜💜💜💜love u💜

Kieun new nickname Sunset girl 🌅❤ and yesssss for the traveling vlogs I live for them 🙌 thanks for always spoiling us with your amazing vlogs love ya Kieun ❤

Hi Kieun, I really loved your recent Korea vlogs. I could feel the passion and hardwork that went into it❤️ From watching your channel for a while and seeing a little of your personality, I think a warm country in Europe (Spain - maybe Barcelona) would be enjoyable for you. I think the city is modern, has convenient transportation, good restaurants and cafe and a warm and welcoming social aspect. I live in London but sadly wouldn’t recommend it as it’s only amazing in the summer time. It could be a good idea to set base in a warmer European city then travel to other cities in Europe whilst there. Wishing you the best in whatever you decide💕

LOVE this video!! I would very much encourage you to go experience Europe for a few months because you never when you'll have the opportunity to do it next!!! 😊

Travel, for sure. Happy for you!

The Invisalign gets much better. I found it terrible for first two weeks, annoying for the next two weeks. By the end of the first month it was totally fine. I’m currently on month 6 and I forget it’s even there. Taking extra strength Tylenol when you switch to the new trays in the beginning seriously helps.

wow i think we were in kr at the same exact time !! i was was there for 2wks and just got back yesterday i stayed at my families in gwangjin gu !! good to see you had a good time

Once you have sliced/cubed the mango then use a spoon to scoop out the mango cubes/slices.

move to europe for a bit!! you can go to SOoo many different countries because they're so close to each other and airbnb-ing throughout europe is great! i highly recommend!! :)

I’m a few years older than you and I still feel lost! I wish I had the opportunity or guts to live in different cities, it’s such an amazing opportunity.. we will all still watch no matter where you are lol also california has been soo rainy it’s so depressing😅 hope you’re doing well coming back and hope your teeth don’t hurt too badly.

I just wanna live a life as you live i just love your video love you lots ❤️❤️
