Thank you to Jason for coming on and chatting with me!! 🙏 I'm going to be livestreaming tomorrow at 11am KST so please come and join :)

[@moejobe]

Thank you for having me on the vlog!🐶🐶😊

[@anna.lee_jy]

@@moejobe Come again!! :p

[@openranks4519]

Anna, the S22 is still better than iPhone 15😂😂

[@song30723]

He probably likes to eat Korean food more than other culture food.

[@MyWorldIsYourOyster]

@@moejobeNo way! I know of you and John from NYC! 🥳 (I also live in NYC/Hudson Yards). I actually came back to Seoul the day before Chuseok and live here half the year. Tbh I’m shipping in a lot of American food/grocery products with Hanjin Express next week only because I cannot easily find them here. (I’m missing the dietary balance/cultural combination.)

[@dr.johnyoo]

literally smiling ear to ear watching this. the banter between you two is on point, while discussing meaningful topics. love the style of these sit-down vlogs anna, you comfortably bring out the personality in your guests. I am the oppa of jbro btw, Jason is the ajusshi, just want to clarify DIRECTLY. love yall!!!! pls make more vids!!!!

Yay!!! Jason is here. Thanks, Anna, for inviting him. Love the two of you bantering with each other.

[@Jay.swizzle]

You two have such good chemistry together. As a native New Yorker and someone that has been to Korea during military service, I can say with honesty that Korea is a better place to live. There is just something there. It's hard to explain. Real culture, more respectful. Love this video! Love all your videos. You are a Queen 😁

[@slavvalb3933]

Thanks Anna for this interesting chat 👍. Two beautiful people ! That is when beauty and brain meet together ! Jason is so down to Earth, cute and charming . We should have more candid interviews like that. 💕

[@Liztime1042]

so glad to see Jason here. I wish Jbro keeps uploading videos together.... seriously!!!!!!

[@cindypoole6792]

Yes! I'm Samsung Galexy Android❤ he's right about trying to see a doc in the US, however, many docs do video chats, so that's helpful. My opinion on... Jason has a very American standard for dating. In Korea you can put a label as girlfriend/boyfriend but breaking up is easier and more common than in the US. Jasonoppa!!!

[@alekspoljak9700]

Always found the 3 day dating rule weird, everyone’s so obsessed with labelling the relationship more than they are with actually finding something meaningful

[@1_sensitive_toothpaste]

wow anna looks SO good in this colour 👏👏👏

[@anna.lee_jy]

Pink 💖💖

[@Lpoolhockey]

It just sounds like he was unwilling to step out of the purely rich Asian scene in the city. NY isn’t a place to get siloed into one community as the whole world is there. It makes sense that Seoul is a breath of fresh air as I love living here as a native New Yorker. It’s safer and cleaner and the trains are better. Next time he goes back, spend more time in Flushing, IDK how anyone could possibly say there’s not enough variety in NYC.

[@jolippert397]

Loved this interview!! What a nice guy!! Hope to see more of him!! Maybe an update in a month on how he is doing?❤

[@VickiKech]

You guys are so cute. Off the charts chemistry.

[@Rooney87]

The thing you said about the subway is so true. I stayed in NY for work for 6 weeks and had to use it 4 times a day, everything about it is bad. I'll never complain about the London underground ever again.

[@harriswangsa9440]

How funny I could tell that Jason is a introverted person, compared to John which I think his E's scored 100! This is a really fun to watch Anna, pls more do MBTI things!

Ha! Jason is the hidden comedian of the Jbro. Glad to finally see vid on Jason. Like fish out of water when he is on another person channel and alone this time 😂. Make me want to stay in S.K just for short time to experience. But no $ n time for it.

[@SunnySage122]

As an American who lived in NYC for 2 yrs I have to say that the city is completely overhyped…. I lived in Korea for 5 yrs and the comparison b/w the 2 cities is like night and day. Seoul (even the smaller cities) have way better, affordable, efficient and CLEANER public transit. QUALITY of life in Korea trumps NYC (and most of the U.S. tbh)

[@ugh495]

this is so interesting. i’m from ny and i’m going to school upstate and miss home so bad. when he mentioned the appointments i’m able to get an appointment pretty soon, if my usual place isn’t too busy i can get a same day appointment or 2-5 days wait

[@anna.lee_jy]

Very good!!

[@ugh495]

Next I want to study abroad in korea and see thing myself sounds fun!

[@NaNgNg0]

I want to see more of Jason! Sad about JBros having a long distance romance now but hoping Jason will do some vlogs every now and then 😅

[@denisemahe8539]

Always lovely to see Jason.

[@savage1510]

I hope to see him more. That was alot of fun to watch.

[@trafficsigns]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say food choices are limited in NYC - it's seriously one of the most culturally varied places in the U.S. and I'm guessing the world.

[@TravelingFoodie22]

For real I almost want to ask what part of NYC? I was there last year and I felt I could not even sample most of the food scene. If anything in Korea it is mostly Korean food and some foreign restaurants. If he thinks NYC is limited he should come to my state ha ha. Northerners (esp NY people) come here and complain about the food.

[@chenitals]

He’s talking about healthy and affordable gym bro food on a regular weekday. Gains life is different

[@TravelingFoodie22]

True but I saw a ton of health restaurants too. I felt NYC was very varied in terms of culture and lifestyles although truthfully worldwide most healthy people eat and cook at home. I do.@@chenitals

[@RagingDrone]

I don’t think this guy is a New Yorker. Food is “limited” in NYC. Im guessing he is one of those Rich Koreans who hasn’t even stepped in deep into Flushing only to watch Mets games. Lol

[@moejobe]

​​@@chenitalsyessir! That's what I'm saying. You really cannot eat healthy going out to eat in America, especially on a day-to-day basis. The healthy options are limited in variety and usually very expensive. Food options are generally limited for the gains life overall. Also, eating out will hurt your pockets quiet a bit in NYC.

[@yelenaa4746]

Nooooooooo that was not enough 😭😭😭 we need more Jason oppa 😂

[@dreamerbubz]

You and jason suit each other looks wise and you seem to get along well!

[@luluange123]

Would love to see you both on Korean Pizza Club podcast episode!

[@anna.lee_jy]

Yep I’ve told David already we need to have him on :)

[@Ykoz2016]

Oh my, I beg to differ. (Each to their own. Just my opinion). The LOS ANGELES subway system is the worst subway you will ever experience in your life. Because of that I don’t really see the difference between the NY (which I took in April) the UK (which I took in May) and Seoul (which I took today). And Chicago (which I took in April as well). It all looks exactly the same to me (even though I hear everyone comparing and complaining.) Only LA. Only LA will haunt me forever 😬😂😂😂

[@slavvalb3933]

Oh yeah! Inner American cities and neighborhoods with their subway 😂

[@JoyfulOne468]

Agreed!!! I moved from NYC to LA and I'm so sad with their subway system.

[@Sam-ss2lo]

This was funny, and great chemistry. You both seem to be too westernized to date a traditional Korean person. I'm guessing you're better suited for each other than any dating app can provide.

[@victoriaogunfowokan3120]

Wholeheartedly agree !

[@Evejackson777.]

Yellow cabs only work in the area of manhattan they are not allowed to go outside of manhattan that is why it’s cheaper than Uber or Lyft lol. Also I never waited more than a week or two for a doctor appointment but questions dermatologist take longer but I never had that issue lol

[@Bette_Fontenot]

I think I have Jason's record beat - I "dated" a guy for 3 years but we were never official. Oh, we said the "L" word, he stayed at my house nearly every night, I would drive his truck whenever my car was in the shop, he would get angry and jealous if any other guys even spoke to me, but he was very clear that we were not together, I was not his girlfriend. Tbh, the 3 date thing sounds nice. It eliminates guessing and misunderstandings about status and can prevents wasting time.

[@linnysheff]

Girl, I feel so bad for you! Thank God, that character is your ex now! He just wasted your time!

[@alphasnotes5548]

I would agree. John appears to be very direct. At least from what I've seen in their videos. 😆

[@isadora.ml.]

yeyyyy finally updates from jason! 🥳

[@Chloe.zyxwvu]

the minimum tip is 15 percent if you have satisfactory service. The standard tip is 20 percent.

[@ymhktravel]

Enjoyed the natural easy banter between you and Jason. I knew because I was smiling. Why do Korean guy friends of Anna went to get their beard and stubble lasered off? I know it's a hassle to shave everyday, that's how I feel. For me it's like less than a day before the stubble starts to grow again. Still I like to keep the option of growing it out if I decide to. For those who can grow a full beard, It's generally still an East Asian thing to keep it clean shaven as it makes one appear younger without it, and more professional. But lasering out, nope for me. It's not critical to health or life and it isn't ugly anyway.

[@giselagarza6293]

It was fun!

[@KylaTalks]

Hmmm. I think his assessment of NY food is very limited. LOTS of different food options. Not as healthy as L.A., but there are certainly lots of options. Especially if you look at Caribbean food, Latin food, Black American food, vegan spots, etc. He just wasn't looking. Lol. There's a huge variety. True what he said about American healthcare, though. It's trash. 2-3 months for an appointment is standard and it's so crazy to me. This interview was cute.

[@dprofitt86]

My mother and I just got back from Seoul. Best subway ever!

[@Tammy0606]

😂 We need more footage from the part where he talks about women's appearance. It should not have been problematic 🤡

[@nicolewilson4058]

It overall does not take 2-3 months to get an appointment. There is a multitude of private practices, hospitals, and multi-specialty facilities you can go to in NYC. There is even an app you can use to get same day appointments. He just limited himself to a certain doctor and a vicinity. Btw, there are places that offer vitamin/IV drip as well.

Wait 3 dates to decide if you’re a couple? My brain can’t comprehend this. If I meet a guy we go on 1 date which lasts about 2 hours. Then we do it again 2 more times. That’s a total of 6 hours and I’m supposed to decide after 6 hours of knowing someone?! Naaa I need 6 months 😂. Ok maybe 3 months lol. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Food options in NYC limited??? Sorry, I'm confused by that. NYC has a huge variety of food options.

[@XOut4This]

Oh boy. 18%? We tip 30% for dinner out in NY. 25% if it’s crappy service. Food is so expensive on Long Island. Especially on the North Shore.

모르는 소리. 뉴욕 지하철은 여러 군데에서 비슷한 구간을 급행 라인이 평행으로 달려 최고임. 서울 지하철은 그냥 단선임. 서울 같았으면 맨하탄을 남북으로 종주하려면 모든 역에 정차해 2시간 걸릴 것을 급행인 A라인은 50분만에 주파함. 지하철은 뭐 따질 것 없고 빨리 도심에 데려다 주는 게 최고임. 고로 서울 지하철이 최고라는데 동의하지 않음.

With all due respect, your video has a lot of misinformation. According to the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, approximately 80% of all New Yorkers ages 18 to 64 report having some type of health care insurance, half through their employer.

[@뷰티보틀]

엥 3회 데이트 룰은 어릴때 미드에서나 봤던건데?? 한국사람들 그렇지 않아요 ㅠㅠ

[@dummyatlantic]

WHOA. Let's clarify yellow cab tipping etiquette for the audience. Standard tip is 20% (cabs have a touch screen that lets you choose 20%, 25%, or 30% so drivers don't get screwed). Now, to be fair, I don't know what Jason deems long or short distance, so maybe in some contexts, that $3 will cover it; however, for anyone watching this and planning to visit NYC, if you take a cab from (for example) the Met to the East Village, and you only tip $3, that's pretty bad. Also, for SUPER short cab rides (like, if it's a walkable distance but it's raining or I'm carrying a lot of stuff, etc.), I'll tip on the higher end of percentage options (30%) so the driver can at least make some money on their time (and even then, the tip itself in that situation would actually fall into the $2-4 range). Again, this note is just for the audience who may misunderstand tipping expectations.

[@Raphanne]

I've never been to the US but your tipping culture stresses me out. In my country, I've never even thought about tipping taxi drivers. It seems like you have to tip everyone in the US, so I'm afraid I'll be accidentally rude with people for not tipping them because I didn't know I was supposed to. Are there some people you don't tip?
