Brilliant video 📹 Kobean History. 😁 Thank you for sharing. 👌

[@MarcusAgrippa390]

That was a fascinating topic. Well done sir!

[@halbert2554]

I've watched a bunch of your videos, and I just want to say your channel is criminally underrated and your content is awesome! Keep it up!

[@KobeanHistory]

Thanks!

[@McHaven07]

Loved it! Great video, man! And that editing, looking good! I especially enjoyed the Process segment (I like watching things get made..), buf all the information throughout was exactly the type of things I wanted to know.

[@OneBlueFroggy]

I thought there would more actual hands-on type of view showing them actually making the gravestones. Not pictures of tools and pictures of the end results. The information was great, and the history. Thanks anyway.
