Caught the feels in that intro for a moment lol … so glad that you guys are back and I’m so happy that you two are able to show so much appreciation for your individual situations now, given the fact that you had such a great shared experience prior. Always truly enjoy your convos and btw I’m all for that $200 lamp

[@TheAsma]

This talk was soo inspiring... Many of us fail to understand the meaning "living in the moment" yet we have learned it... Maintaing, balancing and taking REST🙌🙌🙏

[@teekang5]

Love seeing you two enjoy life after working hard for so many years…finding the balance is everything!

[@Ubiquitous_1]

You guys are growing up before our very eyes! Glad you guys are still doing some of these vlogs together. Even when you're married with kids --the more the merrier!

[@andreamonique3008]

Love to see you guys thriving. Since I've turned 30 this year I've realized working so much and not having much to show makes me want to stop working myself so hard and just earn new experiences and travel more because that's what I enjoy more!

[@27unoe]

Love the message and growth from the both of you. Definately is a different feeling of independence and being on your own when you’re in your own space. I agree living in the moment and being older is a different form of gratitude for life, but it is great!

[@JL-qu3uu]

I was having a really bad day but listening to this makes me feel very inspiring, keep up with the work

[@disconnected9799]

So nice to see you guys feel so liberated after moving into your own places. I guess sometimes I just feel like I should make the most of my youth and keep working as hard as I can giving no time or space to do other things like dating or going on a vacation. Seeing you guys take that step and listening to Jason talk about how it feels to just let yourself live in the moment, is so inspiring. I hope I can one day too, feel what you're feeling.

[@snowy_shea]

Being present in the moment requires that we take the time to appreciate where we are, what we're doing, and who we are with & try to savor each moment to the fullest as it passes! It can be challenging at times but we appreciate these life lessons that we are gleaning from u guys here at your New J Bro channel as both of you are moving into a new phase of your independence! Very soon, our New J Bro will become New J Men! Even then, we will continue to support & learn from you guys! 👍🥳😀😅😉👏🙏

[@vanessamartinez24]

The feelings of independence & excitement are strong in this video lol I love hearing the updates you bros give because it's inspiring & relatable😊 I hope both of you enjoy yourselves in Toronto!!

[@maryjanewesterlund9958]

😂❤ Put a big smile on my face when Jason knocked on the door. I was bracing myself for John’s take on living alone. (OK, I know there are benefits.) “Living in the moment” and recognizing that you’re fully present in your life at any given time, is, to my mind, an advanced level of maturity. I think you have to have some life history before you come to this. I like hearing that you’re there. Love you both … you’re really beautiful people.

[@RevingtonDalton]

🎉🎉🎉 Congrats 🍾 on living all by yourself. I hope you’re safe and well. Be happy always, Dr John

[@JBRODUCTION]

EDIT: English 한국어 [CC] now available thank you all for tuning in and for the wonderful feedback. feels AWESOME to have this opportunity. much love

[@localboi75]

It’s been two week’s already……so much insight of living alone…….feel so free and amazing. But nice to see you guys together. Always so positive about life and the passion for life. Aloha Hawaii

[@elibby1095]

Hi guys! Thank you for letting us be part of your lives through your videos! XOXO

[@Enchanteralle]

That intro...lol. It's such a great feeling to be present with yourself and then reflect on how all your hustling brought you to having more choices in life. I completely understand what Jason is saying about finally being present in the moment. I've been doing my day job and my side hustle for the last 3 yrs, working 50+ hours a week. I know some ppl work 60, 70, etc hours a week, but I'm not going to compare....it's unhealthy. Over 50 hours a week for 3 yrs for me is enough. I quit my day job first week of Jan to do my side hustle for my full time job (expanded my practice). Now I can just be in the moment and enjoy whatever I'm doing without a million things racing in my head about what I need to do next...never having enough time for anything. The independence and freedom that you're experiencing is priceless. Definitely need to treat yourselves rather than thinking about investing 24/7. It's ok to give yourself some space to breathe and remind yourself that you deserve it!

[@justnotskin]

This was a great one! My parents always used to tell me to “ ser presente” which literally means to be present in all that I do- academics, family and life in general. It definitely is hard to grasp but I’m definitely in a stage in life where I try to embrace that. Being in grad school can be draining and the only thing I feel present is work and school work, but I think trying to be present whether it be with my friends and the moments we share has been a great way to enjoy life.

[@gracew5225]

So nice to see you guys back again. Your stories are always inspiring and entertaining. The new apartment looks cosy and comfortable. Good for you.❤

[@okietate]

Love watching your videos! So glad you are continuing them!

[@ss_jk6141]

Having good friends is such a bless in our life.

[@seewunkwan]

This is relatable. I’m going through the same phase as you guys right now. I used to grind hard right after college with high work hours from a demanding job but another opportunity came and I moved to another state with more steady work hours. I’m using this time to focus on myself and enjoying being present and doing the things I enjoy again or for the first time (i.e. going to concerts, solo travels and etc). It’s a long learning process and growth but remember to continue to enjoy the moment and live a little. Life is short.

[@JBRODUCTION]

that's awesome to hear that the new opportunity afforded other avenues of growth beyond work. youre right, gotta live a little and maximize on all the moments

[@jadew8018]

Haha I was worried you guys were gonna leave KZbin 😅. Glad to see a new video went up! As for living in the moment I understand a bit of what you mean. I’ve worked since I was 14 and went to school for 6yrs so I have my BS in biology and just passed my boards as an LVT. Throughout the entire time I never really cherished moments out with friends or living on my own in college and now that everyone is finally in work mode and creating families I’m realizing that I was so busy working and striving for what I wanted professionally that I didn’t experience my early 20’s because I didn’t think I’d lose them. But now I’m trying to cherish memories and enjoy everyday because time flies so fast so why not enjoy it! Also my friends went to Ezoo apparently it was amazing glad to see you enjoyed it! There’s always so many cool events in NYC and I’m definitely gonna try to go to them now that I’m finally done with school! 👍🏾😎

[@mirnadavila9589]

I miss you guys glad you are back. Best of luck in your new journey.

[@MyMariposa0626]

You guys are the most down to earth and wholesome people I've seen on this platform. Wishing many blessings to you guys. May life bring the both of you a life partner that will rock your world and accompany you in all your future adventures. 😉

[@qianjin88]

i actually lolled at the end when y'all said "pls resubscribe" but i applaud jbros for the personal growth you've come to realize. but when you really think about it, in every single video you guys ARE living in the moment in the best way... discussing meaningful (or meaningless lol) topics each other and also sharing the fun with the whole YT community :) we await the new apartment tours jbro(s) ^________^

[@d.a.5956]

Got excited you guys will be visiting Toronto. I’m a fan from this city and really hoping to see you both! 🥹 Hope you two enjoy! Congratulations both your new journeys!

[@Sunshine14331]

Glad you guys are back 🎉🎊🍻 this talk was so inspiring and meaningful 😊. Congratulations on living all by yourself.

Wow, Sooo Awesome, Congratulations John...The Best Is Yet To Come, GOD Bless...!!!

[@eNVy100]

I feel you, its amazing how much of a productivity boost you get when you move into a new place

[@JBRODUCTION]

yes it's on another level .. what's the reason behind the big boost for you?

[@eNVy100]

@@JBRODUCTION It's hard to put in words. Less distractions in your immediate surrounds as well a renewed focus on your goals, I guess

Congratulations of new chapter ✨️ 👏. I love ❤️ this men's talk , thanks for letting us be a part of yours lives through these amazing videos. I also like your new fashioned new house lol🤗💃

[@marcusoconner2805]

I love hearing about Jason unleash himself. 🥰🥰🥰

[@TheLibraryOfEmotions]

Always feeling happy watching your video. Very relaxing but deep. And it's very personal. It's like talking to old friends or a brother. Really enjoy hearing you two chat😆

[@jenni6003]

Your talk has always been so inspiring, thx bro

[@ana2472]

Love the new vlogs. It's awesome your able to live in the new moments. I remember the first time on my own. I was like, oh yeah, it's only me." I was so used to cooking for multiple people. I feel that you have to grind initially to allow you to have the successes that you need or trying to achieve and then you can enjoy

[@raquelmacdonald8572]

I've been living on my own for almost ten years now and the feeling is indescribable. Peace and serenity like no other😊💃🏾

[@melissan5882]

I completely understand you. I’ve been living by myself for 4 months now and I feel more fulfilled … Looking forward to your home vlogs. 😍

[@buck-it1032]

It is so liberating to live in the moment. I always had financial concerns or concerns about passing tests/licenses in the back of my mind at every event or holiday off I had; I'm always thinking, I should've done more or done this differently. Now that things are more settled, I can decompress and let myself relax and indulge in experiences like traveling and in the finer things in life ahem good food. AKA treat yo self! 😂 I'm forever subscribed to ya'll

[@ItsJamesandMark]

But why does the thumbnail look like my Netflix home screen promoting a new Korean drama lol. Best of luck on this chapter!

[@JBRODUCTION]

thanks, it's called Very Ordinary Dentist Yoo

[@seekthao]

Part of getting old is dwindling tolerance of other people’s living habits and interior design choices. Gratz to adulthood!

[@slumberotter5411]

Late for this but I totally can relate with you guys about the late bloomer thing. Im a lone ranger myself and kind of a nerd in my adolescent years and have somewhat of a low self esteem prob. Only in my early 30s Ive bloomed to learn more about myself, how to love myself more and try new things that Ive realized how much Ive been missing and become more appreciative to all this new experiences. Totally gonna be excited to see whats in store in the future for both of you.

[@nhijrah]

I am now at the same age as Jason. Being in pandemic since 2020 has taught me so many things especially on living our best life. After I having a major heartbreak as well in 2020 i started to learning to be presence in the moment even if I am enjoying it alone. I never thought it could be the best feeling and I never thought i could actually make myself happy by myself. This year i decided to make more memories to myself and 1 of my plan is to travel and watch concert by myself. So lets make it happen! 🎉

[@maureensasaki8695]

Congrats 🍾on living all by your self🎉a new life with K-drama JBro ❤I hope your enjoy ur new life always be safe good luck to your new career 🎉

Congrats on living alone!!! I can't wait to get back to living on my own again as well. It's definitely a fun and freeing thing.

[@majesticglamourco88]

John you had me for a sec the beginning there 😂 good to see both loving life and living together now 😂

[@veralazarevic2029]

☺️💖 I have the same thoughts. I'm much more relaxed and enjoying my life in my thirties. There were a lot of failures in my twenties and if I was thinking differently I wouldn't be depressed and fail even more. Our thoughts determine our lives. Enjoy the moment, I'm still learning...

[@just_nwa]

I also thought for a sec it was a real good bye 😅 I am glad it’s not and Congratulations 🥳 for this new chapter, another step towards independence, fulfillness and appreciation time. I am excited to follow this new journey of yours 😊 Can’t wait to reach this step but as a 25 y/o broke Phd candidate, having my own place … I’ll considering it later 😂 Keep grinding Jbros while being grateful and proud of what you have/achieved 💪🏼 Lots of love and support from Paris 🗼🇫🇷❤️

I'm a late bloomer in enjoying life too. Yeah spent too much time in 20s studying and working part time to put myself thru sch. 30s is the new 20s for us! All the best jbros in ur new endeavour

[@tammyn.2323]

I understand! Living alone is a wonderful experience and I am enjoying every bit of it too. I feel like living alone opens your mind and you actually have the space to do what you want to do in life without another person commenting on your process. Some times you do not need to hear anyone's thoughts or comments. JUST GO.

[@lionessstarseed6812]

Your new place is such a vibe! Love the purple accent lighting….💜Can I hire you as my interior decorator when I move to my own place next year? 😭✋🏽Enjoy the new crib + the new adventures and transformations that this chapter will bring you!

[@nicolejeune1215]

Congratulations on growing up to live on your own! You both won't be separated easily 😁. I tried living on my own but 90% of the time, my nieces and nephews surround me.

[@marlina1732]

Just wanna say Hi! I didn't remember the first time I found your channel and have been watching since then which I think was a good start to helping me learn English in real daily conversation. I didn't expect would relate to what I experienced as I step into a new life living alone to pursue my dream education. I got many new thoughts I can relate IDK if it may be because we are the same age (just slightly younger than you guys lol) btw Thanks! Love from Taipei, Taiwan ❤❤

[@Sarang2700]

J bro is back!!! Haha!!! Good to see a new video of you guys. I miss your videos

[@user-og2yx3sf6m]

Love this talk n cozy set up. happy for u both. I am a late bloomer too :) but still enjoying the present moments though my mum can't understand and pressures me to simply be 'normal' (working in a typical corporate for money at the expense of my mental heath.) Still, it was only in this period of doing 'nothing', daydreaming , and creating art, being happy, sad ,dramatic, taking it a day at a time, did I discovered/regained my life purpose. in other words, being content n present is valuing oneself & what makes u a 'success/unique' in your own eyes ABOVE societal opinions

[@NaNgNg0]

Are we going to get apartment tours? Lol Going to make a book recommendation - Goodbye, again - Jonny Sun. I think you both will be able to appreciate some of the essays in there as it relates to growing into your adulthood. Also, Canadian here and Toronto is so fun, so you guys enjoy!

[@vishakhah2791]

Totally agree wih you J Bros!!! I would like to let you know that you guys are not the only "Late Bloomers" to all fun stuff...it is a matter of where one's priorities are set. I too used to feel FOMO about a lot of things..turns out my vision was/ is different from others. I second your opinion on living by yourself. Yes, it does make a lot of shifts in thinking, behavioral changes, and other environmental factors, etc. The funny thing is..since there is financial stability, one can or able to enjoy most "missed out" things in more intentional way. This video I especially like coz it is the ACTUAL representation of what I feel. Kudos to you guys! :)

[@JBRODUCTION]

thanks for sharing Vishakha, totally relatable . as you said - vision, timing, and shifts in priorities/thoughts.. all part of the journey !

[@orionzodic]

Ahh, I needed this. I've always been that way as well. I was never truly in the moment because of one reason or another. Now tho I am trying to get better at it.

[@life-ud2mr]

😭🤦‍♀️ Thank You Jason for coming it was like is he really gonna shoot alone? , Dr. Yoo u literally looked saddest just few seconds before 😭 it's Okey to live alone just never had seen only one of u doing video is was quite awkward, much glad to see u two now 😊 💙👍

[@ajscozykitchen]

I feel like since you guys are established now, you can finally breath and enjoy the fruits of your labor

[@hhaannnnggg]

Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now talks about being present in the moment, observing one' emotions and making it a habit to observe and understand our emotions, reactions, thoughts and behavior. I haven't finished that book because there's a lot to digest but Jason's brief talk reminded me of it. The practice of grounding yourself and not being trapped in thoughts takes time, kind of like meditation. Anyway, your place looks nice and the lamps look pretty!! 👏🌻

[@nabsane]

True, I just turned thirty this year. After a stressful year of working as a postdoc and having sustained a work-related hand injury because of a pushy PI, I had to take a break both mentally and physically. During this time I really was able to fully enjoy kpop concerts that I went to (Stray Kids and Ateez) and I got floor tickets because I think I truly deserve to enjoy life now 😂
