kpop and manga shopping spree in nyc koreatown 💜

[@xblvckpinkx]

I hope you'll do more kpop related videos or unboxings because books & kpop is all I need 😂 once you buy your 1st album you won't be able to stop at least that's what happened to me lol

[@hxili]

Sameee. I got two for Xmas because I didn’t know what to ask for and after that I preordered loonas comeback. Then I bought 3 loona albums like a month later, then I bought chuus, THEN I said I would hold back. Then I bought red velvet day one, then itz icy and fancy, NOW red velvets next comeback 😫 I need to hold myself back!!! But some loona albums are going out of print and red velvet only releases bops and loona might comeback soon?? I can’t stop!!

[@madslewisofficial9543]

OMG SO TRUE (Once You Enter The Kpop World Their is now way out) 🙃😆I love buying albums though to support the groups💜💙💜💙

[@bookscoffeewithromie]

this entire video was so soft

[@christyy101]

love this vlog! Buying k-pop albums is a addiction! lol It's so fun to see whose photocard you get inside the album.

[@ThePhantomofBooktube]

your videos are always so aesthetically pleasing, cheerful and soothing. I love them they make me so happy. Seeing your excitement and love for bts was the most precious moment ever. 💗💗💗💗

Great haul! I love that Japanese bookstore! I wish we had one in Ireland. I need to go to New York for sure at some point at my life. I adore The Girl from the Other Side! I'm super hyped for volume 7! I also recently got Daytime Shooting Star! The film version is soooo good! (I'm literally in love with the actor who plays the teacher!) Shojo manga is soo good.

[@aimeeabsinthexo]

For recommendations for manga I loved Princess Jellyfish, Fruits Basket, Tokyo Tarareba Girls, Blank Canvas, Kiss me at the Stroke of Midnight, Cardcaptor Sakura and Clear Card, My Love Story, Honey and Clover, The Ancient Magus Bride and Snow White with the red hair. (Just a few off the top of my head as I collect a lot of manga lol) Also there's an anime OVA coming out of The Girl from the other side. I'm so excited for it!

[@breanneccc]

day time shooting star is so good. if you like it read house of the sun by ta'amo

[@WellDressedGypsy]

Actually I believe SNSD was the first kpop group to have a concert in a major US venue, at Madison Square Garden around 2012. They were still 0T9 at that point when "The Boys" era did major promotions in the states.

[@cozymonica]

for sure, the garden is a big venue - just not a stadium, and this was the first for that

[@aimeeabsinthexo]

Also Happy Birthday! #treatyoself

[@jayni2347]

I went to Koryo and Grace Street two days ago too! I'm sad I wasn't able to say hi, but thanks for the great recommendations Grace Street was delicious

[@cozymonica]

so glad you liked it! 🥰

[@ChristyLou]

I'm not into Kpop but those albums look so nice!

[@cozymonica]

kpop is so good at packaging 🥺

[@angelyntor2273]

I was craving a kpop related vlog these past few days and I was so happy when this video was uploaded! I'm new to kpop but I totally get the feeling of buying an album for the first time :) My first ever album is map of the soul persona, and I think I want to save up for the most beautiful moment in life: young forever next! But since I started getting into kpop, I started liking some of the new rookie groups, so I also really want txt's and rocket punch's debut albums too, meaning I gotta save up even more haha XD

[@cozymonica]

kpop album buying is such a slippery slope! i have a long lost already, and it’s so dangerous 😂😂 this is why i made myself hold out for so long, but theyre just all so pretty! i think i want to finally get astro’s albums and maybe cherry bullet?? 💸 hope you’re able to collect all of those! the txt albums look so nice 😍

[@angelyntor2273]

@@cozymonica watching an unboxing of txt's album had me sold XD ooh yes cherry bullet's albums are so cute!!

[@lokiii1999]

Was there a lot of EXO merch at Koryo?

[@brodenreid7346]

I would love to visit NYC but but there's soooo many people lol which I guess goes for every major city.. is there ever a "quiet" time?

[@cozymonica]
