KOREA VLOG: cafe hopping, where to shop, how I packed only a carry-on, Seoul + Busan 

hey weylie, the restaurant at 18:05 is called Chori Sanggyeong (쵸리상경), 18-8 Seoulsup 4(sa)-gil, Seongsu-dong 1(il)-ga, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea! just in case you or any viewers wanted to know ^~^ thanks for the vlog!

thats so interesting that you would like to one day move there. have any of your korean-american friends had similar sentiments ? the concept of intergenerational repatriation back to outside of "western" countries is an interesting , recent phenomenon happening

I was watching this and I said to my husband "hey we should visit Seoul! Seems like a great place to travel to!" and actually I'm Korean and I live in Seoul 🤣 Your video made me appreciate and change my persepective on my mundane everyday life...if you know what I mean!

Just discovered your channel because of the words Seoul & Busan in your video. I saw you a couple times in Jenn’s videos but I discovered such a bright, shiny and cheerful yet gentle personality in you, it’s so uplifting to watch your videos 🥰 Keep being you ♥️

This brought back so many memories for me. I loved the cafe culture in Korea as well as how serene it felt being there. You would love living there if you're able to!

I was in Seoul 3 weeks ago visiting my daughter who's studying abroad. Watching this video and seeing the places you visited brought back so much memories. I thoroughly enjoyed your beautifully documented trip!

Followed for years and years... never thought I'd see you in my neighborhood, Saha-gu! Watching the city I've called home for years through your eyes was so fun. Next time you're at the Lotte Department store, stop in OPS (the bakery behind you as you ate bibimbap) for the most amazing baked goods. Also, the beach in Busan with the bridge is Gwangalli Beach - Haeundae is on the other side of the bridge. Thanks for the video!

What a BEAUTIFUL blog Weylie! Your videos always bring me peace and happiness. It was fun to watch with my boyfriend all cozied up on the couch, Korea seriously looks amazing and I can’t wait for us to visit. It was also very nice seeing you guys so happy and it authentically looked like you had the best of times. :)

The name of the rice restaurant is Chyori Sanggyeong and it's located in Seongsu the nearest subway are either the Seoul Forest station exit 5 or Ttukseom station exit 8. They're open daily from 11am-10pm but be aware there's breaktime in between from 3pm-5pm, last order for lunch time in 2.30pm.

Just wanted to stop by and say i LOVED your Korea vlogs! I was lucky enough to have been stationed in Korea when I was in the army and I kick myself in the head ALL THE TIME for not having explored this amazing country more! (I was young and dumb) Seeing your vlogs brings back so much nostalgia of my time there. I can almost smell the air as I am watching you walk through the different areas throughout your Vlog. I’m so glad you went and enjoyed it so much! I also wanted to say, that if you really want to live in Korea one day you should totally DO IT! I just recently made the move to Puerto Rico with my little family after living in New Jersey for most of my life (minus my time in the service) It was scary and a lot of work, but i am so proud of us for taking the leap and so excited for this journey ahead. You only live once! So i encourage you to go for it❤ i have been watching your vids since forever! And love how you have grown and evolved. Much love

Weylie! I am really happy to see you had a good time in Korea:) Your video is always calm and peaceful. The background music in your video is so warm, as well. I am in to your video these days! I am glad that you were having nice meals and good desserts in our country! Thank you for taking a lot of good pictures and videos of Korea:) Have a good one! I can't wait your next video

Great, now I’m hungry 😩 I’m loving these Korea vlogs!!!

I saw on your Instagram how much work and patience you put into this. I really enjoyed watching this vlog on this cozy Sunday, so thank you! I'll make sure to come back to these videos one day when I will plan a trip to South Korea :)

This is such a beautiful video 😍😍 your filming and editing is amazing 👌 makes me want to travel to Korea again 😩

You got so lucky to have so many good air days during your trip. Seoul is gorgeous with fresh, clean air. Something simple as crossing the Han river on a bus is magical on good days. I screenshot some of the places you've visited because I need some more places to check out. Been living in Korea for close to a decade. Super fun in my 20s. But now that I have kids, I also enjoy how Korea has so many fun places for families and kids, too.

The overall aesthetics and editing of this vlog were immaculate. 😍😍

Oh my gosh, it feels so weird but lovely to see you in the place I live! Hope you had fun and come back soon❤

I am loving the Korean vlogs. Makes me feel like I'm on a vacay too. Thank you!

Wow makes me wish I was there but the vlog is a happy reminder to save and go! Hehe. Thanks for sharing what you packed. Perhaps a reel or video of your Korea outfits would be super nice. Each combination looked really chic and stylish.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying Korea!! I love how you film and portray Busan in such a beautiful way. Also just wanted to let you know that the first beach you show, the one with the bridge is called Gwanganli beach. Haeundae beach does not have a bridge view - it's just open water with no bridge. Can't wait for your next vlog!! :)

Glad you enjoyed your time on this trip. Hopefully you’ll get to live in Korea one day! And hopefully we’ll be lucky to see more Korea vlogs ☺️

Must visit place when traveling to another country is the supermarket! Literally can learn about their food and their lifestyle.

I totally agree with what you said about drinking coffee in Korea! When i’m in Korea I can drink coffee all day and sleep soundly at night but here in CA I limit my coffee intake lol. Thanks for sharing your trip with us! Glad you like Korea so much! ❤

Thank you Weylie for such a beautiful, healing vlog. Came at the absolute perfect time-midnight and all :-)

I was born in Seoul! This makes me want to go back & visit! Love your videos Weylie. 🥲💗

Ahhh I love your Korea vlogs. Even rewatched the old ones :) I love how you guys seem careful to not make these like the wahlie vlogs. I liked those so much but I know y’all also wanna do your own things

I re watch your this vlog, so so therapeutic with all your slow pace in Seoul. Because whenever I visit Seoul always a rush trip.

I really enjoy these travel vlogs, such a treat! Also, always have to have a meal while watching your videos because you guys make me hungry with all the food, every time lol

When I was in Seoul, ALLLLLL the western food (e.g. pasta, burgers, salads, steaks, etc.) I ate was even more delicious than what I eat in the states.

i love one thing in KR is that everything is aesthetically pleasing💛 it’s like a draw

Love that you are using your google phone!!! Indeed, an influencer. PLus the quality of the vids are really good, Weylie! 🥰 Also, fun fact, you can make your own papaya salad. It's only a fermented side dish, we eat here in the Philippines. Good for the health.

I love the aesthetic on your video, so wonderfully edited! Can I ask where you bought your brown shoulder bag from? ❤️

loved this video Weylie!! Your aesthetic and the way you styled your celine bag was so adorable ☺️😍

omg i love your vlog so much 😄🥰 i am studying korean these days and i really look forward to visit Seoul one day and explore different sights of South Korea which became my dream 😍

you're the first person that i've seen showcase Local Stitch in your video in Seoul! it's on my itinerary and i'm so surprised and happy to see it on video ♡ this vlog was so informative and beautiful and personable. thanks for sharing it with us!

I loveeee the content that you're putting out! To be fair, I think I would like anything you put out. Thank you so much for taking us along this journey with you, it's truly so relaxing and filled with joy. Looking forward to the bright future that fortune cookie promised!

Wow, what a trip. That makes me want to go to Korea, just for the food. Couldn't believe all the Cafe's and then Churros and Ice Cream, in Korea? Ice Cream I understand, but Churros. They seem to embrace other cultures there. Those Mungbean pancakes looked good. The Namsan Arae coffee roaster looked interesting. i wonder where they get their coffee beans from. Loved that cat there as I have 6 cats of my own. Loved the scenes from the Tower in Seoul. Teddy's Oven had my mouthwatering with the desserts, but I love coffee , so any Cafe will get me. I love the Hotpot meals. We have a place near me and I have waned to have the Hotpot, but just haven't. I had something where you cook meats on a grill at your table and was nice, but never did a hotpot. Then you had the Pineapple fried Rice and Soft shell crab curry and I melted into the monitor I watching the video on. that food looked so fresh and good. The place you got the Matcha Green Tea is a Pour Over. It's good when you make coffee that way. You pour Hot water over coffee grounds in a filter, just like what you had. Sorry if you already knew that already. I got the impression on the video that you didn't know what that was. That Starfield library was amazing looking. Those books all the way up. The food you ate after you got the headache was good for that as you had like a soup with the tofu , vegetables and broth. Looked good even if I don't eat Tofu. That restaurant where Wah got a sampling of Kimbap, not sure how you spell it, but looked good. Maybe some get tired of seeing a lot of shopping and restaurants, but not me. I like seeing this stuff as if I would ever go to a place I would be thinking where do I want to eat, to experience the food of where I am visiting and also like shopping in a place I have never been. I also like Sightseeing . Overall a great video. So glad you shared this. Really made my night.

Love your videos and aesthetics! And can we please get a breakdown on all your outfits? 😍😍😍😍

Omg I went to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple and Haeundae Beach in July. Wow, it brings so much memories! It was definitely very hot in July. Great vlog Weylie, I hope I get to visit Korea again because I am fascinated by everything and I also wanted to buy everything lol. Idk how you resisted!

I'm going to Busan next year. Will probably visit Seoul and Jeju Island while I'm there. Thanks for the recommendations; adding them to my Google maps!

I love going to grocery stores any place I visit! I am such a grocery store nerd. 😅

Awww it was so cute to see u reppin' a Lil Puffy tshirt! It's like a mini crossover of my fave comfort RU-vidrs

I’m planning a 2-week trip to Korea in July and your video gave me a lot of amazing food/activity ideas! 😊

shared this video w/ my friends since one of them will be gg to Korea next March. As usual, the vlog was aesthetically pleasing and the bgm was soothing

Loving your hair! Would love to see a video/Insta story about how you’ve been styling it recently 😍 I have naturally wavy Asian hair but haven’t been able to figure out how to style it without it just being frizzy

It's amazing that the cafe on the first floor of my previous company(your coffee) and the cafe I liked nearby(Namsan Arae) came out! I hope you had a good trip.

I know it’s a lot of work, but I love these longer vlogs! Giving a like for the algorithm ❤

Im OBSESSED with the bag and scarf! Glad you had a great trip and safe travels back.

Felt i was visiting Seoul/Busan with you! Love the first white blouse you were wearing. I hope I can visit S Korea one day!

I would love to see the outfit combos you put together with the minimal pieces!! ❤❤

This is so well filmed and so we’ll put together! Loved watching this so much ❤

Another beautiful travel vlog. Love everything about it. ♥️

I live here and never looked at things from this angle. you just made everything way more attractive!! 😂 i am glad you enjoyed time here. I see you found very nice cafes! maybe I'll try them :))))

Thank you for documenting everything to share the magic with us. Really hoping to make a trip there soon! ❤

I've been really loving your Korea vlogs! I've never been but I think cafe hopping is right up my alley! By the way, I really love your necklace! I can't see it really clearly but it looks like the Chinese characters 宇宙. Could you please share where you bought that?

Great vlog! Makes me want to head to Korea now. Looking forward to your next one :)

Even though I’m on Hawai’i time, I made sure to keep an eye out for a new vlog! 🥰 hehe always love being early to posts, brb while I enjoy this video 🫶🏼

Awwh looks like you had a good time! I went back in 2016 and you hit almost all the spots I went to -- this just makes me miss it! All the food there is sooo good!

i love the korea series

Love your Korea vloggg!! soo cute and aesthetic. Enjoy your holiday xxx

ahhh i’m so sad i’m seeing this so late ㅠㅠ i wish i would’ve been able to catch you while you were here! i’m from socal but i’ve been living in korea for two years now. i’m so glad you went to seongsu! it’s the neighborhood i recommend most outside of the super touristy stuff! hopefully you’ll get to come back soon :’)

The food looks incredible!! I can only imagine how fresh and flavorful it is compared to the US and Korean food here is pretty good!

The food got me drooling at 3am omg also same about craving carbs everyday carbs give happiness!!! 😂 but yay loved this vlog! 🥰

love love the editing on your vlogs, Weylie!!

Hello .. Everything looks delicious 😋 And I like that bag you have here displaying

The reference to “Asia” is just too much Weylie. I’m in Asia and not everything is like that 😅 some things are just SoKor vibes 😂

Ahhhh I love these travel vlogs ❤ I can’t wait until I can travel with my husband and kids ❤

32 minutes gwooooorrrlll no WONDER you had the rainbow wheel 😂 good thing your audience LOVES long content hehe ❤

Your Korea experience is so inspiring! I hope to be able to go over there one day to visit as well. I just had a friend move back there so hopefully I can visit her soon!

Cafes in Korea are slow or don’t even open early in the morning because the coffee culture there is to drink coffee after a meal as dessert and chat with people, not because of the late night culture.

The two places I miss the most in Korea are Cafe Onion and Jean Frigo. Highly recommend visiting the next time you go!

Stumble on this vlog and I love how you make your vlogs..Im an instanrt fan :))

Thank you for sharing Weylie. This was a beautifully documented video and I look forward to visiting one day!

I stayed in Ryse Hotel when I visited Seoul four years ago. The hotel is soooooo good. I also like the cafe downstairs.

omgg!!!! i didnt get to watch your seoul vlog and only got to see the jeju one before going on my trip and omg we stayed in the same myeongdong area!! i recognized that 7/11 @ 11:05 LOL

Thank you for this vlog! I just came back from Busan and Seoul and I miss it so much! Really enjoyed watching this vlog! Also... did you guys stayed at the Arban hotel as well? I recognize the roll up curtains of the bathroom xD. Did you noticed there was also 2 levels of "karaoke" in that hotel?

YESSSSSSSSS❤❤🎉🎉 the video is outtttttttt

Love this video!! Happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip

I love going to grocery stores in other places. So cool

Thank you for your vlog! It was so peaceful and lovely 😊

Loved watching your time in Korea, Weylie! Always love your videos! & style! I miss Korea! I lived there the last 2 years teaching English and literally just moved a month ago to California. It's been quite the adjustment, but your vlog gave me a little escape. Really makes me wonder if I ever see myself living in Korea in the future again... but one step at a time... we'll try to make it through and enjoy my first time living in the West coast of America 🥺🙏🏼 PS. Y'all need to try the naked gimbap at Gwanjang Market! It's called JAPCHAE KIMBAP 잡채김밥 and it's super popular and affordable!! Soooo good.

Omggg I love your necklace with the Chinese characters 😍 where did you get it from! So much love for you❤

Thanks for making us walk and see through your eyes, so interesting and relaxing. I wish I could go there too one day, food looks delicious… I am like drooling as a dog 😅

So glad y’all enjoyed South Korea!! I haven’t been since I was a year old, but my husband and I do plan to visit! Also I LOVE your sweater, it’s super cute. Where did you get it??

Loved these blogs! Thanks for sharing. Now I need to go to Korea!

Such a beautiful vlog😍 now I want to visit Korea too😃☺️ and loved to see so much food🤤😃

I have been watching your channel for years and every time I see you upload, I still get the same excitement🥹🫶🏼🫶🏼

Love watching Wah and your Korea vlog. Hoping to visit next year next year! Please share what hotel you stayed at in Busan. It's very nice!

Hi Weylie! Thank you for vlogging, it looked like you and Wah had so much fun! Btw, where is your necklace with the Chinese characters from?

omg living the dream! i hope you had the best time in korea :DD

Ahh, thanks for blessing us with this 30 min vlog! 😊😊

Is it just me or is Wa lookin sexier than ever before? I swear, after every vlog lately he’s been looking different, but in the good way 😜

Your universe necklace is so gorgeously!!! Where are they from?

Loving the videos!!

Looking forward to the shopping haul!

Weylie, beautifully captured! I would love to visit Korea especially during the colder months. May I ask the name of your Oroton bag that was shown? 🤍

that luggage is so cute!

The "holyy CRAB" at 22:13 😂 That would be me though haha

In Singapore the “trolley” is called cable car 😊

You should have done some fan meeting in Korea. Korea loves you!
