[@user-uz5ib8el4j]

🤣🤣🤣 had me dead

[@josephine.france5]

I didn’t know your name was Lena! Don’t beat yourself down for switching to Kaitlyn. Questioning your background and just wanting to fit in is a normal human trait especially in the younger years. You’re so empowering, i love you! Have a great day! Xoxo, Josephine

[@KaitiYoo]

Thank you, Josephine. 🥺 You’re too kind!

[@alanaf8455]

You can switch it back! It's really easy especially in RI

[@ellarieger5835]

I didn't even know that Lina was an Asian name... it's actually kinda normal to be called Lina in the country I'm from(Germany) so this took me by surprise :O

[@liiishilin]

It’s a popular name in many parts of the world, in Germany it’s a short form of names like Angelina, Paulina, Evelina, Karolina and it’s also used on its own

[@KaitiYoo]

That’s what I realized as I grew older, too!!! I was a confused child 🥲🤣

[@maryr1861]

Hahaah literally 1/3 of german girls are named lina, lena, usw..

That part is why I liked the vid 😭✋🏾

[@jeeminpark01]

Also I totally relate to changing your name to something more "normal" in Western culture to fit in! I used to go by Jamie up until high school, and then I realized I had no reason to hide my Korean identity and started going by Jeemin, my Korean name! No regrets whatsoever.

[@xiuxiuxiuxiuxiuxiuxiu]

is “지민 ? jeemin name is very pretty :]

[@CakeInMyPockets5]

Is it 지민 or 즤민

[@gracel8103]

The assumption that surprised me the most was definitely that your Korean name is Lena! It's so so pretty I love it:) but I also love Kaiti hehe

[@JessicaRoseHood]

400k be coming pretty soon :) you better start planning that special video!! You’re literally killing it Kaiti!!!!

[@jazzylady3]

IT REALLY IS CANT WAITT

[@taescutestpotato5569]

Never feel bad about being an Asian. Instead be proud. Every person has unique features and they r beautiful. In their own way. Just think about how much oli did to look like a Korean but well its impossible :3 He looks more like old grandma now😔 And so proud of you that you could get over it. :3❤️and u r sooo pretty and always make my day with ur amazing videos uwu~

[@christina_890]

I feel like it's soooooooooo common for asians who grow up in western countries to feel ashamed of their background - for reference, i am from the UK and certainly had a phase in my life where i tried to block out my 'asian-ness'

me growing up in asia being an asian, i always felt my features weren't asian enough. its nice to hear other povs of asian people. and the way she said she's extroverted at first and is a introverted with her close friends and im the exact opposite 😭✨

[@belenlg5978]

the amount of friends (myself included, and even a couple of guy friends as well) that have opened up about having had mild or borderline ED or body dysmorphia is horrific. Thank you for helping to normalize opening up about it. It doesnt have to be full-on or life threatening ED to be discussed and getting help. So much mental energy drained in hating our bodies ugh

[@anneisnothere4324]

WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU LENA!! YOU GOT THIS! (I hope it was ok to call you that name)

[@HeyImCristina]

Congrats Kaiti! you deserve this and more.💗The assumption that shocked me the most is that you like Mediterranean food more than Korean

[@celinaromero]

I´m dying with the part where you said you were a North Korean princess lmao , love u

[@JKchick62]

Love you for this 7:45 only influencer I know to be real and not act like their a god and just be greatful for their genetics 💯 also you're really wise and logical n that's great especially in a person with a big platform! Im surprised someone thought u were a party goer n heavy drinker but dancing till 4am damn, u go girl lol 💃 🕺

[@sincerely_liz]

The part about you not caring about fashion before college/youtube was very shocking. You seem very educated about the topic! Also I just started watching you this week!! Congrats on 300k I'm so glad I found your channel!

[@melinam6855]

OMG, the princcess part, girl I'll bow without permission

[@alexisbonner7362]

I couldn't believe how fast i learned to be "fashionable"! It's so true, you really can learn fashion rather than being born with a "creative gene"

[@salariganello7046]

I freakin love this girl so much. Honestly not shocked at all by any of this she is just the best and an open book!!!!!!

[@rx_lie5871]

If this is does not get a guinesss world record for being the best video in the world idk what will.

going on 400k now!

[@mochidiary]

Wait why is it feels like that was just a month ago when u celebrate 100k Subscribers! Not me seeing u going 400k already when u published this to celebrate 300k. I'm so proud of u Kaiti Yoo!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Prashasti]

400K soon ❤️ congratulations in advance, QUEEN ✨

[@eloisediaries]

i loved ur video :) And honestly i must admit that I was kinda shocked by the fact that you were insecured about your ethnicity and your beautiful name Lena. Asian culture is absolutely amazing I think and people shouldn't feel bad about where they came from. But I'm glad now you accepted yourself and I feel like you being asian adds something positive to your content. love u :)

[@kallianamarek1245]

GIRL i subscribed at 2,000 and cannot BELIEVE you are nearly at 400k now it's so wild especially bc you live like 5 minutes away from me and are always vlogging at places i go. congrats!! so happy for you!

[@luzlikescats1668]

Dude, I'm an INTJ and I'm the exact same way. An absolute total introvert who's weirdly enough, much more reserved around close friends than with random people.

[@shinyeechew662]

Definitely didn’t expect that you’re an INTROVERT! Thanks for sharing. Hope to see more similar vids.

[@salanghinasalamina3218]

Still watching through the video but for sure praying that the “you’re bi” assumption is true- LMAO

The fashion one! It’s cool you got into it later though, especially with how much fashion has changed just in the past 5 years! I love a good origin story lol have a good day :)

[@nine3023]

"you're more outspoken when making videos than you are in person" i didn;t expect that and went like whaaaaat, you're an introvert?? but then you're more reserved with ure friends than with a bigger circle :0 btw i really really love ur voice and the way u speak, makes me want to speak english too HAHAHHA

[@xen1627]

my mom’s also allergic to alcohol! similar symptoms too! between that and my dad not like alcohol we never had any in the house 😅 it gets better with age (at least for my mom it has) not entirely tho 😅

[@bloopbloopbloopbloopbloop]

Rich is a relative adjective- for example, i would consider someone who had help from their parents to pay for college well off. You've had videos in your parents house and it is huge. So you're probably rich compared to a lot of your viewers.

[@morganwilliams2597]

Girl, you are strong! It takes courage to change and haters got none of that! Be proud because you're making it work, and you're making it work good!! We appreciate you! 💚 Actually, compared to everything else, I was most surprised to hear that you wanted to change your name. Lena actually sounded pretty dank to me. I also wasn't counting on you feeling dysmorphic. You have such a cool energy, and you seem like you really enjoy dancing, but maybe that doesnt mean how you look while dancing¿? Well listen, while it might not be so obvious, the you that is an inspiration shines through your body at all times! Take care! 💚

[@hombao]

I too am allergic to alcohol and no one ever believes me. I've gotten the "it's just asian flush" and "take a benadryl" sooo many times 😑 It was super surprising to hear that you didn't get into fashion until recently! Thanks for sharing so much about your background. My parents were born outside the US too and have definitely instilled the values of being frugal and thrifty. I've been trying to unlearn that a little bit and allow myself to enjoy things and buy things for myself, particularly when it comes to clothing. So meaningful to know that isn't just me. ❤

GURL I DIDNT KNOW UR NAME WAS LENA THATS PRETTY!!! KAITI IS ALSO PRETTY THO!!!

Imagine hitting 300K one week, and 400K the next week

[@mounnalogue1215]

Kaiti! I hope you notice this. I have a suggestion. Maybe you can hire a transcriber to put in subtitles on your videos? (In case, you can't do it due to some more important priorities) Not only you can help someone earn extra money, but you can also help the people with hearing problems or other kind of PWDs who rely in subtitles. I'm not a PWD but I really rely on reading subtitles because I sometimes can't catch up with just the person talking. Hopefully you notice this. Thank you.

The princess thing…The only other guy at the gym with me was probably thinking I was crazy when I burst out laughing in the middle of my workout when you told that story!

[@mabell7827]

Your "legal//gOvErNmEnT" name being Lena shocked me the most I think we all through a phase where we question or even shun our identities but then eventually learn to appreciate it. Seeing representation in recent movies and various social media platforms has definitely given me a greater appreciation of my background and I hope to learn more soon. Thank you for being who you are, I wish you the best on your journey! If you ever hit up NYC (again? not sure if you have but i feel like you mentioned it idk brain is fried from school) we would love to have you!! okay byeee see ya later c:
