Living Alone Diaries | Buying my first car, parents in NYC for the holiday, mukbang, life updates

[@raisapetraitis8322]

YOUR PARENTS ARE SO CUTE. This made me tear up because I feel like we never realize everything our parents do until we’re adults. Also, the music choices destroyed my emotions in the best way.

The way that both your parents just like, look at you and silently express how proud they are of you and how happy you make them by being you makes me so happy.

As someone who's not close to my parents, this video made me tear up. Such a wonderful family.

[@gathonimwangi5124]

sending you hugs 🫂

[@gabrielatrejos5954]

I cried so much watching this! This is what I want for my parents, to be able to give them experiences! I wish you a life full of health and prosperity so you can retire your parents! You’re such a great daughter 🥺

[@gathonimwangi5124]

these were my exact same thoughts too :)

[@mianavigator]

I love how in the beginning, your dad seemed to have a straight face and as time went on, he softened up and smiled so much. :)

[@annagaras604]

The way your dad is looking at you is one of the sweetest, most genuine thing I have ever seen! 💜

[@nagisadavis]

the narration portion of your parents visiting was impeccable!!!! absolutely loved the story telling. such a beautiful family

[@moonbroth]

i think i cried the whole time while watching this one. it's crazy cause of course i don't know you personally, but i've been watching you since you were in college. so to see you being able to do things you've always wanted to, taking care of your parents, buying a car, accomplishing new things... everything makes me really happy for you. fly high, meesh, you deserve it all, truly.

[@Noorassi5]

As a Palestinian growing up with a full circle of challenging life, I got so emotional watching this video with your parents and watching your progress through the years. Wishing you comfort and peace

[@heyyou3609]

Wishing you and all Palestinians around the world and in Palestine a life of comfort and peace as well :(

Thinking about all of you constantly. I pray for a free Palestine soon ❤️🇵🇸

[@yili1313]

Your dad is just like most Asian dad, quiet and hardworking, sacrificed a lot for the family. I can’t hold my tears back bc it really reminded me of my dad.

[@convosovercoffee]

i’m sobbing and i’m only 2 minutes in! seeing how hard your parents work, and your desire to retire them for the past 6+ years was so heart touching. as a child of immigrant parents myself, i relate to that immensely and seeing your parents enjoy a meal with you in nyc, and overall just enjoying their time, is heart touching. wishing happiness, good health and prosperity to you and your family

[@GraceGeng]

growing up seeing your immigrant parents work and work for your prosperity is a feeling that just can’t be explained - this video was so heartfelt and reminded me so much of my parents. thank you for sharing Michelle ❤

[@Chanel_77-u6e]

해외에 사는 한국 교민들에게 뭔가 뭉클하고 그냥 눈물나는 영상이예요🥹 언젠가 우리딸과 우리 가족의 미래 같고… 이렇게 예쁘고 똑똑한 딸이 있어서 부모님께서 뿌듯하시고 든든하시겠어요~ 해외에 계신 한국 교민분들 우리 힘내요❤

[@ecmamuyac]

This is what I love about being Asian. Family ties, being grateful to our parents

[@AnnM0824]

As a child of Korean immigrants myself, I did not realize how much my parents sacrificed for my sisters and I. I’m 35 and have a successful career, travel regularly, and have a life that I truly love. I now understand what my parents have done for us and I am forever grateful. My sisters and I have essentially retired my mom and dad last year and take them on annual vacations. It is not much for what they’ve done but it’s the least we could do. In a few days the entire family is going on a ski trip to Whistler and my parents cannot wait! It makes me so happy that we can treat them this way and take them on new experiences. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your life with your family. Your mom and dad are very blessed to have you as their daughter. Sending you and your family lots of love and light in this new year ❤

[@user-mx6zc1lh2m]

Your dad is the soul of the family - as my dad was in my life. Im so grateful to be his daughter

[@mcicle]

love this! same in my family ❤

[@cynthiamakao9198]

A visual letter from Michelle to her adorable parents! Such beautiful storytelling...excuse me now I'm gonna go cry😭😭😭❤️✨

[@mmaanya]

The first part of this video had me crying, especially when your dad said he’s got a taste of retirement 😭. The love and warmth between your family can be felt through the camera 🥰. The second part of the video made me so happy for you!! Hope it’s everything you’re looking for ❤

[@HayDayKim]

As a first-generation Korean American, this was one of my favorites video of all time. Thanks for this 🙏🏼

[@AngelaToth-n1s]

The most valuable thing a human can have are the memories and time spent together. My father passed away when I was 27 years old, a year after my wedding. It's been 18 years now and it still breaks my heart. I miss him so much. My parents owned a drycleaners and worked the same hours as your parents. I am very grateful for their sacrifice because it was hard immigrating to a new country to start over. My mom retired 10 years ago, what a wonderful decision. She is 82 now and thankfully healthy. I promised my dad before he passed away to not worry about mom. My mom lives with us and she is happy. --- As I am getting older, material things are no longer important. Money cannot replace people. Life is too short and you never know what tomorrow will bring. Thank you for sharing this video because it makes me happy to see your parents enjoying every second of their trip. Applause to you (and Blurry Salsa Man - he's a keeper)!

[@ihsaraeniar]

I was really touched when you talked about your dad because he's really similar to my dad. My dad was a hard worker and he would never take vacation and never took a flight with just my mom too. My dad passed away 2 years ago and I miss him everyday. Seeing your dad being able to rest and spend time with you makes me so happy.

[@kaskahea1274]

every daughter has a bond with their father 🤍 👼

[@SElisa15]

My dad passed in April 2023 and I relate to all that you said about your dad. I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope you are doing well🤍

[@itshulya9536]

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER!! 😭 It made me cry so hard. Especially when your dad mentioned he's tasted retirement, the first scene in this video brought tears to my eyes. The video reflects the warmth and love that exists between your parents. Thank you so much for allowing us to share to journey. 🤍 and I can’t wait to witness your growth and healing journey. 🥹

[@anhthuphan8440]

I'm also living far away from my hometown. I've never once cried when my parent say goodbye to me when I go to another city, but when I say goodbye to them after they come and visit me, it brings tears to my eyes. Can't wait for the Lunar New Year to go back home

[@k3810425]

안녕하세요. 서울에 사는 40대 직장인 입니다. 출근길 지하철에서 우연하게 이 영상을 보게되었어요. 그동안 부모님께서 살아오신 히스토리와 행복해하시는 모습을 보니 저도 모르게 울컥하게 되었네요 😂 말로 표현하기 어렵지만 따뜻한 마음과 작은목표가 생기네요 감사합니다:)

[@cindyng1004]

how u bring your parents our of their shells..amazing. i can see how your mom is now such a natural in front of the camera compared to her first few appearances! Your dad is so precious... both of them are. Congrats on the porsche. U worked so hard fr everything and deserves it.

[@Mollyw._]

I had to pause a few times to catch myself from crying, your parents are so sweet and hardworking and I see where you get it from! I am so happy to be part of the community you have built and I hope to see your parents having the ability to retire this year! Love you Michelle and don’t forget to take your time ❤

[@niharikaambastha9479]

My dad passed away a year ago and I couldn't do this , I regret it so much. I want to retire my mom at least as soon as possible. My parents too had a similar relationship dynamic like yours. Seeing your parents and your family happy like this really had me teared up because I know how meaningful this is! Much love and an entire world's lucks and blessings to you Michelle ♥

[@mackenzy444]

I’m sorry for your loss 😢

[@didu2689]

Seeing your mom for the first time in your videos and seeing her now is such a sweet difference she seems more open and excited and joyful

[@Rinafashionista]

Anybody else tear up? I love this for your parents ! ❤

[@gracehan5209]

Michelle this really hit close to home and pulled on all my heartstrings. It's crazy how similar our experiences are!! My parents also immigrated almost 30 years ago and have worked tirelessly at their dry cleaning business. My dad has not been on a proper vacation since coming to the US to support my family and so this really gives me hope to be able to do something like this for them in the future. I love your videos - you are truly inspiring!

[@littlelilacbunny]

😭😭🤍🤍🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@limulim750]

This video is so touching. I cannot help crying when you were saying, "엄마 아빠 i love you and thank you so much"

[@ashleylight4544]

Okay, I never comment on videos, but I just had to say that the bit with your parents was the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a while. It made me cry. The love you have for your parents is so evident it was beautiful and touching to be able to witness it.

[@xueyan_nl]

I just got basically disowned by my own parents over the holidays, for literally wanting to just have casual chit-chats with them... seeing this makes me feel warm again. Thank you Michelle!

[@amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

this made me cry! the relationship you and have with your family is beautiful and its so sweet how much you want to give back to them and you clearly appreciate them and know them inside out. the way your boyfriend treats them is so lovely too.

[@ЛилитСаргисян-и6о]

Michelle🩷 your parents are so lovely! Every time I see them on your video I can’t help crying 😭 I don’t know ..that kind of videos are so heartwarming 🩷 God bless you all 🙏🏻

[@JS-gt3rf]

부모님이 인상이 너무 좋으세요~ 아버님도 어머님도 인상만 봐도 사람 좋은게 느껴지는 선한분들❤ 아버님이 가족들을 위해 참 열심히 사셨구나 싶어요.. 매일을 새벽3시 기상.. 가족들을 사랑하는 마음, 그리고 가정에대한 책임감이 없다면 절대 못하죠ㅠㅠ 세분이 함께 여행하고 웃는 얼굴을 보니 너무 예뻐요😊 앞으로도 세분이 다양한 곳들 여행도 자주 다니며 추억도 많이 쌓으시고 맛있는것도 많이 드시고 항상 건강하고 행복하세요🥰🎉

[@YuanBonnieXin]

I normally like to speed up when I watch most videos on KZbin. But saw the title before I clicked in and watched listened ever words when you talked about your parents. It’s the love even I could feel between you and your parents. ❤

[@mmt6069]

So, we all got our anxiety from our dads, huh? Thanks for such a wholesome vlog, Michelle. I am so far away from my parents and this made me tear up. Sending you and the fam lots of good vibes and well wishes for the new year :)

[@LynnethGrace]

behind the camera, capturing all the lovely moments- is the most supportive man of yours, michelle. Lovely. This is also my prayer for my mama and papa, to give them a good life after all their sacrifices❤

[@MikeeRogers]

The first part with your parents was so beautiful. Made me miss my dad so much and wish that I had started vlogging sooner before he passed a couple years ago so that I would have had footage like this to look back on. Such beautiful moments. You’ll treasure this forever ♥️

[@melisainal3147]

OO my God ! The speech of your dad at the beginning made me cry ! You are lucky to have them and they are luckier to have you❣

[@KaiyaSuki]

your narration of your parents' trip is bringing me to tears!! thank you for being vulnerable with us

[@mayaleex3]

I completely resonate with wanting to take care of our immigrant parents! My dad also has been working nonstop and doesn't know how to rest, but I loved seeing your parents spending time with you in the big city and so glad papa choi got to take a few moments with his daughter 🥹🥹

[@Hazeldoreen]

I knew I would be in tears watching this video. I’m living aboard and I’m missing my parents so much so this hit close to home. And I also miss nyc at time so it’s just nice seeing it all in one place. So happy your dad got to travel and take a break from working so much. Truly, well deserved. ❤

[@iveriani]

I love the appreciation you have for your parents....Thank you for sharing....

[@amyknox123]

What a lovely Daughter you are to your parents ! Your Dad seems like an amazing hard working guy. Made me tear up 🥲

[@jinkim6216]

I am Korean immigrant mom with a 9 year old daughter. Must say Michelle’s video makes me think a lot. I just hope that my daughter will find her happiness and have an independent life in US like Michelle, but today, I can‘t help but think of my hard working husband while listening to Michelle’s father‘s 7days work week. Truly hope that Michelle's family who are grateful to each other will resemble our future.❤

[@andreaestermendigorin4737]

Im literally crying while watching this vlog. That’s my ulitimate dream. Take my parents out of the country or out of town and treat them on a vacation. Take them to a nice dinner, shop for them, make them happy. Thanks Michelle Choi for reminding us that our parents’ happiness should be prioritized. Happy Holidays. And may God bless you even more.

[@DiutoAjoku]

This really made me miss my mama!🥺 Our parents can really be hard on themselves! I pray your parents live VERY HEALTHY LONG YEARS!❤️❤️❤️

[@Crashing_CSS]

teared up so many times through out the video---- reminded me my parents who also have not taken a break in all my 27 years---- I hope I can do the same for them like you- It was suvh a warmmmm hug to watch and melt down like a puppy. Thank You Michelle- You are a queennnnn

[@montereyalex]

I'm on 1:21 and I'm crying like crazy.. I love your parents!!!

[@verovargova]

This video touched me and made me cry🥺 because it's beautiful to see how two people can stay together in a relationship, work hard and raise such a great kid like you Michelle. I have not been lucky enough to have parents like that and that is why this is absolutely beautiful for me to see. It's a blessing to have a family like yours. I wish you all the best for the new year.💕

This brought tears to my eyes,I have the same relationship with my parents, I went to study abroad but I choose to come back and stay with them, I want to enjoy as much time as possible with them, they are my best friends.

[@aminah2978]

i had the biggest smile on my face throughout this entire video, even got a little emotional ngl. your parents are so cute!!! it was so sweet hearing the way that you were talking about them. im sure that they're so proud to have you as their daughter and i hope that your wish to retire them comes true this new year. thats any child's dream for their parents. sending you and your family all the best and may your parents always remain happy and healthy!!

[@HerbalTea-g2f]

I stay away from social media and commenting. I watch videos but never get involved. However, I have enjoyed watching yours and can relate on multiple levels. This is my first time EVER commenting. I love how you want to take care of your parents and give back to them for all they have done for you. Mine are in their 80's and I fly every 4-5 weeks to stay a couple of days with them. Same situation as your family. Immigrants from Korea. I was born in Seoul. My parents gave up so much for a life in America. You're a great daughter. You will forever be happy with how you loved and took care of your parents. Great job Michelle!

[@karmalhazom84]

This is my favourite video on the internet today. So relatable. It’s every working class’ child’ dream to take their parents on a vacation once. Loved this one. Heartfelt.

[@keithabados4826]

This is what it’s all about ❤️ especially for us Asian kids whose parents sacrificed so much just for us to have a better life. Love seeing you give back to your parents! 🫰🏼😭

[@user-jj2000]

So proud of you Michelle! The way you care for and love your parents like this is so wonderful. As a fellow K-American and a child of immigrants, I totally get what you are feeling and going through. And you are wonderful. Keep being their beacon of light but also make sure you care for yourself as well. They want that for you so do keep that in mind, always.

[@MichelleFernandes...]

you really made me cry with joy with this video, may God bless you. You deserve what you are reaping

[@itsmianotmya]

Not me trying not to ugly cry during this video 😭 my parents are getting older and I live on the other side of the US so any time I get to spend with them is so precious. They finally came to visit me (hard because my mom can’t fly so they drove 30+ hours) and it reminded me a lot of your time with your parents. Love through sharing food ♥️

[@simplyellenxo95]

I just appreciate what you do for your parents. This is the reason why I have put my parents in my vlog every time.😊

[@joanmae1234]

Living alone series will come to an end. What a journey it has been! You’re such an inspiration, Michelle! Always in all ways 🥺🥺💯💯❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

I'm so proud of you especially what you have done for your parents thinking they're not getting any younger anymore. We love you, Meessh!! ❤

[@1987bjh]

I’m crying happy tears for Michelle 😢 the first part with your parents were very heart whelming ❤️ then the news about the moving in with blurry salsa man. Here is to another year of happiness and growth

[@heyitswinona]

just had to pause the video to say you’re so relatable, michelle! one of my main goals in life is to be able to give my parents experiences they havent had before and eventually to make them retire early. thank you for sharing these special moments with us! 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@livinelay]

As someone whose parents live on a different continent as well, this made me so emotional. It's such a big moment for us when we are able to share our "adult" life and accomplishments and experiences with the people that we hope are proud of us the most. From little cooking moments, to just feeling like you are protected as a child again by the people most familiar to you - priceless. I am happy they had a great time with you and really enjoy your vlogs. They give me comfort.

[@gettevlogs]

I love watching your videos especially when you're with your mom. But I specifically love this one, because both your parents are with you! Also, I love how Blurry Salsa Man was super into being your cameraman and helping you film the moments spent with your parents. So much love for this video! 🥰💕

[@sbnemart238]

Watching blurry salsa man capture all those precious moments you had with your family makes my heart swell. i hope i can find someone like him too. And i'm so happy for you michelle, you both deserve each other!

[@jas_313]

I love how you talk about your parents, in all the videos you mention them I can feel the wholehearted love and appreciation and gratitude and joy…it’s oddly calming? And I watch with a huge smile on my face as someone who can relate to some of the things you say. Happy new year, wishing you and your family a glorious year🫶🏾🤍 (Blurry salsa man did amazing w/ the filming! So natural and so ur vibe)

[@padocsdoll]

The first part of the video with your parents made me emotional. My dad passed away unexpectedly a few years ago and I am still mourning all the things we did not get to do together. It makes me happy that you are honoring your parents and giving them your all, as they have done for you your whole life. These moments are precious and really all that matters at the end. ♥

The way you talk about your parents and the whole video is just so wholesome🥲🥲🥲 you guys deserve everything

[@iamisabelapontes]

Mi, this video touched me. I lost my father figure three months ago, and I think about him all the time. When you were talking about your father, I got very emotional and also happy. He reminds me a lot of my own. Thank you so much for this video.

[@NesKimStyle]

Brought tears. What a beautiful daughter and darling parents

[@adventureswithphi405]

I love seeing you happy❤❤❤ you have such a lovely soul. Congratulations on your first car!

[@maitrypanchal8702]

I watched this entire vlog teary eyed. Being a daughter to immigrant Indian parents, I completely empathize with your wish to retire your parents as soon as you can. I’ve been following you for over three years now but my respect for you has increased so much as a daughter. Such an immensely beautiful vlog. Thank you, Michelle, for inspiring me, please do keep making these videos. ❤️

[@AliceBruce6661]

Not me crying the entire video... Now even I want you to be able to retire them soon! I'm very close with my parents so this felt 100% relatable. The things they sacrifice for their kids... Thanks for being such an appreciative sweetheart! Also cannot wait to see you moving in together with BSM!! Have a great year Michelle, will continue watching you forever xxx
