MIND BLOWING Korea CHEAP EATS & HIDDEN GEMS in Seoul | UNDER $3!

Dude stood up for human rights and showed me some cheap places to eat in my area, all in the same day. Hero.

[@sdaiwepm]

[@slothtree2375]

I have never seen a negative comment about Mikey. In the plethora of videos I've watched, across all of his channels. It's heartwarming and he has that personality that's welcoming and feels like you've been friends with him for ages. Love the videos Mikey, wish you and anyone that reads this the best!!

[@waranghira]

We with you against these bullies who shouldn't be in these platforms in the first place.

Chen may have been right in his comments on his own channel about Uighur in China but he was deceptive in the fact that he didn't disclose his strong political opinion to Ng and presented himself as a cooking channel for the colab not a political mouthpiece for one particular view. Chen put Ng in a position that wasn't what they agreed upon. Chen is a political polarizing person, he should have been honest about that to Ng and not just presented himself as a cooking channel. Ng has a comedy cooking channel that is politically neutral and Chen brought politics into that forum without asking or informing Ng. So Ng removed the video. Ng has a comedy chanel, not a political chanel. He is neither weak or a bad person for keeping his channel neutral and in accordance to his agreement with youtube. Ng has no responsibility on his YT channel to espouse a political opinion and Chen has no right to put him in this position. Chen is forcing a neutral party in another country who has admitted to not being informed enough to made an educated decision on a stance to take a side... and then slamming him for remaining neutral. Chen is using his own power and influence to bring down another youtuber who doesn't have the same opinion as him. Sounds like something Chen should be against, not doing himself, no? Chen needs to keep his politics to his own channel and stop attacking people for their neutrality on a comedy channel.

[@osch415]

@ ng literally said that he wasn’t aware of chen’s beliefs about the chinese government, which obviously makes ng’s opinion clear.

How they stay in business: Rather than investing money in having other people make the kimchi and all the banchan, they invest their time in making it themselves out of open-air market ingredients they've purchased through haggling. This is one of the purest examples of the saying "Time is money."

Seeing all this for the first time, and I’ll say it again. They’re supposed to be a food channel, and he is a comedian. That’s all. It’s not fair to him to put him in the middle of a political topic like that, because HE will be the one responsible for any backlash. It’s very obvious, but people are just … mad at him over it. Kinda childish.
