short autobiography 

I appreciate how Jin was so vulnerable about sharing his family problems, his depression and also how he hates studying because most of the people watching the stream have the idea that he loves studying and has been a brilliant student all this time and they feel that they, who have never done academically good in life will never be able to do what Jin's doing. I'm saying this because thats what I used to think about all the study with me streamers but Jin and James' stories made me realize how wrong I was. Thank you Jin for sharing all of these. It really makes me feel like I can acheive the impossible.

🥺🥺💗 I appreciate how you show your vulnerability

I feel exactly the same. It scares me when I think what my life used to look like only one year ago and how I imagined my future as a high school student. I thought I would live off the minimum wage, work for 8 hours and then go home and sleep for the rest of the day. That truly was my dream. Now my dream is to become a strong person, create a strong mindset, work hard and overcome obstacles. Be the only person responsible for my success or for my failure. I changed my mindset completely over the past few months, got accepted to university and found a good job with an opportunity to promote very quickly. I'm sooo glad I found your channel. I will definitely watch your videos while studying to keep myself motivated. Even though I graduated this year, I still have to study 5 times more than I used to. My job requires learning new things every single day, plus I have to study for my university courses. Thank you for sharing your story and the videos you upload. I really appreciate it 💕

The video we didn't deserve, but the one we needed!

어린것이 얼마나 외로웠을꼬.. 건강하게자라줘서 고마워요. 좋은날만 있을거에요!!!

You have a beautiful mind and great wisdom... 👑🌠

I think nobody is weak. Each person goes through different kinds of problems and each of them handles them differently. We all are going through something and trying to be a better person. And sometimes we fail to try but that doesn't make you "weak". Every time we fail, we just need to get up and try again, and we all know that is the hardest thing to do. So we need to give ourselves credit for keeping moving forward. I'm a new subcriber, but I want to say something to Jin, "You are stronger than you think you are. You went through a lot and yet you keep trying. You motivated me and other thousands of people. And we have a lot of faith in you". P.S. sorry for my very weird english😬🙊and I hope he could read this or other very nice comments

We are to do what we love and see meaning in, and what at the moment we feel is for us , and yes even if it's working hard now to get mind away for Past mistakes and spiral of thoughts , i too made the mistake, and i didn't take actionable steps for 2 yrs after depression and self dought after a 4yr distracted self harm , but now i am taking my actionable steps , i have to embed my self in to doing the hard thing a little bit more so later i have the satisfaction that i truly changed what i wanted to consciously and not let go drift subconsciously, i have to keep myself accountable to do hard things be it through community pressure or guilt or fear anything can fule me ,but i have to show up everyday because that will define me, give me lasting and more meaningful hapiness joy and pleasure satisfaction than i stant gratification and distractions,like :- as per when i will look back and see reflect how far i have come and how much i have done already over time, and (it's like the satisfaction when you ahve completed the whole course playlist on RU-vid class you are studying in and you finish the 90 video lectures , and look back and see you did that you learned that and finished that that satisfaction is amazing)

my mom is like ur mom eventho my dad died she did everything for us we didint even feel the abscence of our dad that much she bought us the clothes we want we never had problems with food we ate everything we wanted she made a lot of sacrifices so yeah she just wanted from us one thing and that to study but she didnt really add stress on us to study thats why shes the best person of my life

Wow, that literally sums up life after high school. I sometimes like to study, for example, when I understand a concept which I didn't after reading even 2-3 times, that is the brightest i feel, but studying for a long time and be consistent daily with a schedule is what I struggle with.Thats where study with me videos help, it emphasizes that there are more people just like you in the world who are facing the same struggles as you are, and that you are not alone. The best thing you talked about was discipline, one truly does need to be consistent and discipline the mind to prioritise things which are going to give you long term benefits, rather than instant gratification, it's easy to understand that and it's easy to forget that even if you do understand it! The competition is daunting, the way you score good marks but still don't get into your dream branch/college is disheartening, but maybe it's making you tougher to face the challenges you'll face ahead, at least that's what I tell myself.

For the work that he is putting in, he deserves more subs than this.

Change is the only constant thing in the world , I think realisation of reality is the best thing that can ever happen to us , all the best for your future 😊👍

أنت على وشك إنقاذي.. كأنك تشعر بما أعيشه.. أريد أن أقوم و أبكي الآن بشدة ثم أفتح ورقة جديدة و ابدأ من جديد.. 💚 شكرًا لك ، واصل الإنتصار لنفسك الحالية علي نفسك القديمة.. أدعمك ..

Jin, Im very very proud of you and your mom. You proved to be an amazing son and your mom is very proud of u . Be happy. We love you and appreciate every little of your efforts. Take care of your health.

My thought process is the same, and i have faced the same circumstances in my life , self induced failures , depression , distraction , addiction and instant pleasure, more failure , realisation and finally journey and question to self on self discovery being just a little better than before every day and just be fast away for the sad person i was before 2yrs ago , do t want to be in that dark palce again i lost all my confidence and only thing i had left was to pick up my pieces fallen apart and make a new me

You are already great based on the growth you've had. You're even helping others along the way with this RU-vid account. Keep it up, and thank you :)

thanks for sharing the vulnerable parts about you, just so we can relate to you more. it's really nice to know you more and understand what you've been through. i feel more grounded after watching this video, and i'm gonna work on directing my thoughts on where i can be, rather than where i'm stuck now. you're truly an inspiration jin, you and i are just one year apart but the complexity of your thoughts makes my jaw drop.

hi i'm from south korea. And i deeply empathized on your thought. I'm also colloge student and struggle to find out my life's value. thanks for your video and sharing your story.

Such an inspiring video, you are such a kind human being, thank you so much for sharing your history with us, it was very educational and motivational for me, I can relate in so many levels with your story and the weird thing is I didn't even realized the reason behing most of my behaviours and everything is beggining to clarify with therapy. Hearing you really helped me recognizing how until now I dealt with my anxiety and depression - which I used to deny the existence over pride - with coping mechanisms, addictions and sleep deprivation. Aaand yeah let's get to action, you have enlighten me, thank you x1.000 :)

Best person I've ever come across. You've truly become my role model after this

I used to talk just like you when I was 20-21. Scary resemblance. I also went through a journey similar to you. Being addicted to video games and social media. Now I'm 24 trying to figure out what do in my life. I went through a period of intense work like you but I couldn't sustain it. Now its about balance for me.

Yesterday, I was crying on my mom's lap after thinking about ending it, I felt pure pain for the last few months. All I think about is just I am nobody and I don't deserve life. I could spend an all day just crying on my bed begging God to make this let go. I want more of life, but for now I just don't want to disappoint my mom. She made lots of sacrifices, she spent all of her money to make me feel enough even though we do struggle fininacilly. This is my final year of high school and things at home are going astride. I hope I could earn this prestigious scholarship (with one-year gap) so I could study abroad (US,UK, and Canada) cuz I want to make my mom feel proud of me. Thank you WooJin for posting this. It gives me hope when I can hardly see one.

It was a real eye opener for me,I had the same phase you were going through and I can't thank you enough for this video thank you soo much.

I do resonate with you a lot. I guess I’m going through what you are going through right now. I’m fighting for better self-identity by studying hard to achieve a goal that may not relate to my will, but I really enjoy this because this way I don’t find myself a terrible person taking everything for granted. I want to do this to honor my parents for all the struggles they’ve been through just to give me a better life. I was rebellious and didn’t put emphasis on academic affairs like you did, and the result was terrible that I didn’t get to enter universities that I wanted to. So, anyways, let’s fight together for our own lives:)

Really appreciate you coming here and sharing your story with us. It's not something easy to do. All the best JIn, you are in the process of becoming an outstanding person

Thank you, Jin for sharing this slice of your life! I find it super inspiring how you've turned one of the platforms to which you were addicted (RU-vid), into something to help others and even yourself! Cheering you on in everything you do😤🦍

I teared up when you were talking about your mom and what you've been through🌻 thank you for sharing a bit of your background and your why. Goes to show you never truly know what anyone is going/ has went through. I'm rooting for everyone you, keep on persevering towards reaching your goals. You got this... (even in the moments you feel that you don't) 🌼

16:25 "For me what really attracts me is the idea of suffering and doing something that's challenging and overcoming that. And anybody, I believe, can experience that. Not only just people who have fortune to pursue any field." Jin has been so vulnerable throughout this video and considering what he has gone through and all experiences, it is so brave to have this mindset. This will be my takeaway in this video that I will surely bring forward. Let's enjoy these moments of suffering and challenges because for sure there will be a point in our future lives where we look at this current situation and say "Man, that was tough but I did it. And I'm here now." We'll be proud of ourselves. Keep going and showing up everyday! This community is here for everyone. 💪✨

Thanks bruv For inspiring and changing lives😊 These stories need to be heard.

Cheers Woojin! Thank you for sharing your stories! I will also devote myself to the study like I love which I hated and wanted to avoid but actually the steps leading me to the right path I want to be and go! I will take advantage of having a chance to study and will grab a chance to be a better person everyday, will value and prioritize my personal victories everyday. Your live video everyday is a small and huge step at the same time! It is very special and truly inspiring for me! Good luck to all of us!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Thank you for this, i feel like I understand why you do what you do a whole lot better and I can really resonate with some of the things you've said. Whilst attending your current live streams, I'm also working whilst watching your oldest ones from 4/5 months ago. Your progress has been amazing and truly you have a success story in the making. I'm here because I want to form my own success story, I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to do so, and your streams have given me pushed me to really go for it, since it's filled with such amazing people with crazy drive and determination, helping me to grow so much already in the 5 days of discovering this channel. I'm fully on board and excited to see just what I can push myself to accomplish in the future! 😄

Thank you for inspiring me.. I am Sarah from Algeria and I am very grateful to you and everyone who has participated with us in this dreamy space that will create a better life for all. Three years ago now, I was just a lost woman, but I chose to create a better reality for myself and my family, I chose to succeed despite all the challenges, and now I am writing to you as I am about to discuss my Ph.D. My advice to everyone, don't worry about where the road will lead you, just start and everything will become clear little by little

Such a brave person , wish you luck to achive all your goals dear woojin .

I just wanted to say thank you for posting your story, it was really nice to hear more about you because I think a lot of us can relate. I too am someone who wants to be better, but I’ve never actually taken any actionable steps towards getting there because being comfortable is so much easier than being vulnerable. It’s so hard, but you’re totally right, change starts within us, and I think you should be proud of the changes you’ve already made within your own life. Thank you again :)

thank you for being so vulnerable, jin

I cried while watching this...thanks for your hard work and sharing!❤️

You're video is such a motivation for me, that's the words that I wanted to hear for so long, thank you! ♡

Family, cultural settlement, addiction, surmounting, living. truly fascinated about how a short video of someone’s life could speak with my experience so much too! You have given us so much encouragement and power, thx truly. I hope the study family is becoming your new safe space!

At a point where I'm falling in and out of ruts, Im glad I found this video. Thank you for being vulnerable and inspiring me. Goodluck Jin.

U r a motivation to many… Thanks for openly sharing everything that u have been through. Lot of us experience harsh times..change can only happen when we pause and reflect on things instead of just acting instantaneously for gratification.

Thank you for this video and everything you do! Thanks to your videos I am able to improve and actually focus on learning, as well as living my life in real world, not observing stories in tv-shows. Best wishes Jim!!!

Congratulations to your mom for such an intelligent and good son 🌻🌷🌼

I hope I can express myself properly, here goes: We have quite different pasts, but something in common - the will to improve, to have a prosperous future, and to be proud of our victories. I would love to share my experiences too, I think all of us who follow you would like to. To set an example and share experience so that we all evolve is one of the most beautiful things that human beings have. I just wanted to tell you not to be afraid to go back to the way you were: you are not that person anymore and there is nothing wrong with that person. It's okay to be fragile and feel lost, we all go through that. With maturity those times become distant and finally we are able to make peace with ourselves. Be proud of your path. The past does not define you, but rather what you choose for your future. Continue to inspire so many to follow your example, and appreciate yourself too. Be proud of yourself, you are doing a great job.

i relate to you so much thank you sm you really inspired me

I'm lucky that i discovered this channel. You're such an inspiration and have made a positive impact on my life. I'm grateful for that. I admire that you're able to be consistent, focused and disciplined. You're destined for greatness. I also feared studying because my parents overemphasized getting good grades to the extent I developed panic attacks during exams. I was consistently a top student in my class but it reached a point that I lost all interest. I remember losing all interest when I scored an A- yet my parents scolded me because I was not top 10 in my class. Music was my escape and I used to listen to music 99% of my free time. My grades dropped shockingly but I didn't care no matter how much they shouted at me. I lost every single confidence I had because the only identity I had was 'the very intelligent girl'. I also wanted to fit in in high school and would spend most of my time watching unnecessary content so that I could be cool. I was lucky to still get decent grades and was accepted into law school. I'm also very competitive but still not confident enough in myself. I salute you Jin!!

You're amazing and I really appreciate your way of thinking. I'm looking for people like this, who inspire me to change and pursue my dreams, making me a little better every day. Thanks for this video!

Thank you jin for sharing! Happy to know I am not alone.

Loved hearing a little bit more about who you are and what your life's been like. So grateful to have found this channel, it's made a huge difference in my life, starting with not feeling so alone. Helps to know there's someone else on the other side of the screen, in a different place working so much harder than I am. Truly grateful. I know you'll do great things, whatever path you pursue. Leaving a quote I hope will be helpful, from my boss at my current internship: "improve 1% a day." Gets me trough the harder days, along with this channel and the study fam I've been introduced to here. God bless, have a great day!

Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing ❤️

omg i do resonate with u assuming that you were rich. when i was a kid my parents migrated to australia from india for more opportunities and i never knew that they were struggling i always assumed everything was perfect. my parents bought me toys, took me to school, had a tv and that made me happy but i didn’t see behind the scenes where they were struggling to pay rent or having issues with the language barriers or sometimes even feeling insecure to talk in public because of their different accents. i mean i was a kid so i wouldn’t have known, but i truly do admire that my parents prioritised me and painted a perfect picture for me so i couldn’t see the negatives and grew up in an environment where i was happy. only when you are older do you realise how much your parents go through for u :(

You are so strong 🥺💗

Your biography is very inspirational! You doing something incredible, fingers crossed for You!

Thank You Jin for this, you are doing a great job and let's all keep doing better and you totally deserve to be complimented on that !! 🦍😄

Cool to know more about ya, Jin! Your mom is incredible. Great thoughts about social media, and your future... Bests whishes for you!

I am really glad you were able to come so far despite the odds you had set for yourself. I am also a first generation US citizen and often it is very easy to take for granted what our parents did for us when they went through such a massive change. I have studied about the education system in SK and I know it is very difficult and this is solely from an outsiders point of view, its very easy to always feel pressure and competition when put in those situations. The start of this journey was tough but you over came it and learned to not pity yourself for it but to grow from it. You are truly an inspiration to us all and I can only imagine how proud your family must be. Keep going!!

thanks for sharing so rawly jin, I know you can't really see us through your camera lens, but I hope you know we appreciate learning your story, thank you for helping me know that it's okay to make the change now and I'm not too far down the lost path

You and James sure inspire me. Your mum must be really proud of you man !

Bravo Jin for opening yourself and telling ppeople who social media is dangerous. Unfortunately, so many people doesn't understand how it's ruining their lives. With MetaVerse it will be even worse. Just keep going! You woke up in the right moemnt, now you can do great things with our life!!

I am really impressed by you, and all that you have overcome to be who you are now! I think you are doing amazing and you have inspired me and your work and study ethic is mind blowing! I look forward to your streams and studying with you because you push me to think with strength as desire to focus on what is good and follow my path well. God bless you with everything in your life; you are more than you think; you are incredible inside and out and the rest of us can see that! Believe in yourself you are the best!

I admire you a lot!! Te escribo desde Bolivia, realmente eres un ejemplo de vida 💜 espero poder tener algún día esa disciplina y fuerza que tienes, me ayudas demasiado en el proceso! Gracias por crear está comunidad que hace que tengamos más motivación cada día en lo que queremos lograr 💪🙂

When the people around me emphasize and go on talking about how social media has made our new generation more capable comparing to the other generations, I truly agree with that. But it also concerns me at the same time. Cause these privileges have also created so many distractions for us. Honestly I myself also have gone through the phase when I was young, but thanks to my parents and the academic pressure of Asian countries😐, I was able to find out how meaningless these virtual pleasures were! Lastly I want to say, It was really brave and kind of you to share the experiences with us, Jin! Not many people have the guts. It also shows how cordially you care for this study family💕 I wish you all the very best for the upcoming journey ahead of you and pray that you achieve what you wish for! It's an honour to meet such an amazing person like you, stay blessed!🍁

Thank you for this man ❤️

The algorithms definitely used to get to me on ig and fb. I hit a wall back in March earlier this year where I realized how addicted I was to social media, took an entire month off of social media. I took the entire month of April off and it was the best choice I made. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Hey thank u for sharing this video. I was very impressed and motivated because you were so honest. I'm not an English speaker but I really wanted to say thank you. I don't know why I'm so touched... but .. yes..

Really an inspiration!

this is soooooo inspiring ..wish you all the luck

You have done amazing, Jin. I'm proud of you for able to do something that you hate and not only that, you also influenced others to study with you as well. You made a great impact in my life, Jin. In others' lives too. Thank you so much.

You speak my mind, similar to me but I still struggle to go out of my comfort zone. You are great.

as an Asian, this video is sooo relatable. thank you for sharing!

Self pity or victimization is conferting and motivating But gratitude and having an positive outlook in life can be changing

you’re inspiring

I don't understand full message because my English knowlebge is bad but it's was wonderful story about you. We will continue growing up together. Thank you!

bro- you're so handsome

I have been a complete introvert child.. I tried to fit in with other girls group but somehow I couldn't fit in 🤐🤐🤐 I know the feeling.. I watched dramas to distract myself.. I don't want to accept the reality..I wanted to live in a fantasy world. I just wanted to be in a illusion that I am successful but I never worked hard for it.. my first failure hit me hard.. when I was in my college 1st year.. then reality hit me so hard that I couldn't face anyone.. I saw myself behind of everyone.. I saw my dad. How he struggled to give me a healthy lifestyle.. but somehow I manage to get back into track.. thanks to study live streamers .. I can relate to your story bro.. just keep going. 🙂

Not me thinking you were way older than me when you are actually younger... dang lol! On a separate note, love your videos man, they really help get me through school. :) Wishing you all the best; we're all growing and learning together. ❤

Puede que sea un poco raro decirle esto a alguien de mi edad, pero te admiro. Te admiro mucho por todo lo que has pasado y, no solo eso, sino por todo lo que has aprendido y mejorado gracias a ello. Admiro mucho las ganas que le pones y el hecho de que vengas aquí, día tras día a estudiar sabiendo que odias hacerlo. Espero que sepas que eres una gran inspiración para muchas personas aquí. Gracias por haber creado una comunidad tan llena de apoyo que nos hace querer mejorar un poco más cada día 💗

Thank you for sharing 🖤

Thank you for sharing this! I can really relate to what you just said. I hate learning too and I was/am a depressed person throughout school. I feel like I am in the same boots as you. Thank you for giving me hope. I hope we'll study soon together

You look sooo cute! 💕 ^_^

Loved it. Sending healing vibes .

Actually he is actually v brave to share everything :') proud of him tbh. he is so much bttr than me XD same age but not as mature as him...

All the love and support from Saudi 😊💜

I love u brooi

I'm going through what you did, right now. Even my family conditions are similar to yours. I was losing hope, and this gave me hope. Thank you for this. And Thankyou for pushing yourself as well as us every. single. day. Thanks fam @WooJIn Cho

Respect for your mom!

Thank you for this video My life is somewhere similarly like you I only have 90 days to change my life ( exam) , and this video give energy to me 😊

Good Luck Bro !!

It was cool to hear you hate studying, but doing it. When I watch videos of people studying, I think that they must be loving studying. Otherwise how can we explain that they do larger "pomodoros", than me XD

Instant sub

Great

I relate to you SO MUCH right now. This is powerful

Love and support to you from INDIA ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Cool bro

man i thought i was hearing myself talk

It's not the destination, it's the journey that matters. You are helping a lot of people along that path to self-improvement. Always wishing you all the best.

I'm really speechless... But I do want to give you a virtual hug🫂💖✨
