Quarantine in South Korea! || kpop, learning korean + reading about culture ✨

Hello!! Enjoy this very chilled vlog of my evening in government quarantine in Seoul, South Korea. I'm here in isolation for 2 weeks before starting university! Learn Korean with me and chat about life. I have SO much to learn about Korea, but in this video I went down a rabbit hole of articles on modern-day issues, kpop (oh my gosh, BTS are everything!! I am obsessed!) and attempting to learn about somewhere I'm fortunate enough to live in for 4 months!

@M e and so we meet again! why are you still wasting your time trying to tell me how wrong i am? jade’s channel is all about transparency and honesty and sharing her full life, both the highlights and the lowlights. so, yes, as someone who’s been subbed to her for years now, i do feel like an explanation would be necessary. this whole thing feels like a slap in the face to the rest of us who are stuck in total lockdowns and have had all of our own plans cancelled.

Tbh, I don't even care about Jade's decision to travel so much. If this was anyone else I wouldn't even bother saying anything. But Jade has put SO much emphasis over the years on striving to be a better human, being aware of her own actions, listening to criticisms, etc., that now it really seems like all of that was a bunch of BS. As soon as people DO criticise her at all, the only way she addresses it is by putting all the blame on her university and trying to gain sympathy from her viewers. She totally advocates travelling during a pandemic but then a few days later claims to do nothing of the sort. Tbh it's just the hypocrisy that bothers me more than anything else. She's often so preachy about being an amazing human being but then when actually put to the test she runs away with her tail between her legs. :/ I do, on the whole, enjoy Jade's content and hope to keep on watching her- I hope she just admits that she messed up by deflecting all the blame onto minerva, and that this was ultimately her choice. Apart from anything, if she doesn't do that then it's simply unfair on her fellow students and on Minerva itself. Spreading false information just to absolve yourself is not a good look.

[@Ellie-su3rs]

@@myachaaban3604 all that is relevant here is that she said that it wasn't her choice to go to minerva, and we KNOW that isn't true because she herself said that it was her choice like a week before. and she deleted information from her description box after people called her out for being untruthful.

[@fearlessrussky]

This!! It's the hypocrisy and inability to appear in the wrong that's the most jarring in this whole situation.

[@DustySmith1]

[@Amy-kp1oe]

I feel like Seoul is going to be a repeat of Berlin. Jade is going to ignore the rules and common sense and will continue to go to cafes, travel around the country and risk spreading the virus to vulnerable people. I’m German myself and it made me so sad and frustrated to see how she ignored basic rules and common sense when she was in Berlin. Yes the rules were quite relaxed when she first arrived but that was only because Germany had very few cases during the summer. Once cases started rising most Germans went back into voluntary lockdown while both her and Eve continued to go out and travel to neighboring countries. Even when the official rules got stricter Jade continued to ignore them, e.g. going to Switzerland without quarantining. And trust me at the time she would have been required to quarantine for at least 5 days and get a negative test during that time. Just makes me sad to see how influencers continue to flounce the rules, apparently they’re above such things.

[@erinhux8855]

I always wondered how Germans felt about her being there, thanks for expressing your perspective. When the government announced their plan for bringing back international students in Australia everyone was so pissed that the gov pushed back their plans. If she had been flaunting around Australia like this people would def have something to say so I wondered why she wasn’t called out sooner

I'm not even German, I am just European. But it still makes me angry because this virus makes us all connected more than ever before. Her actions in Germany affect all of us - more cases in Germany most likely mean more cases in Europe in general - because of essential travels, and other irresponsible people.

why irresponsible?

[@elizabetha9630]

Just my opinion - if someone was putting negative comments on a post I put on Facebook I would see it as my right to delete it if I wanted to. I'm not an influencer by any means but I personally think it's her platform to do what she wants with and if people don't like it they aren't being forced to watch it.

@@Jelisawesome why irresponsible? Incase you haven't realised we're in the middle of a pandemic but she thinks it's ok to not only travel around the world but claim that her 'university' forced her when she could of just stayed at home like virtually every other uni student right now. As well as holidaying in Switzerland but refusing to acknowledge it.

[@tobe4real]

hey jade I am really disappointed in the dishonesty we know from other Minerva students have not been forced to travel but had a choice. and you edited out the part about it being tied to your credits in your description. just blatantly lying to people... I have also been made aware of the switzerland situation and I think it’s really irresponsible as an influencer to gloss over this and glorify travelling to a high risk zone (deemed by german government) and back to berlin without isolating yourself during a pandemic. it is really disappointing to see this :(( I usually defend you but simply telling people to not consume your content is not validly taking accountability. we would appreciate the honesty and you would still have a solid fanbase I don’t know why you’re glossing over it? just know that this is coming from people who usually defend you

[@fokyoursocks]

I’m doing a masters in area studies, focusing on japan but we look at east Asia as a whole too. I learned very quickly within the course how problematic it can be to study another country or culture. It’s easy when reading books or info that neatly package aspects of a country’s identity into bite size chunks, i.e. Koreans do this Koreans do that. I think it’s important to remember that defining people by nation is on itself very tricky. It makes the research more interesting too if you’re reading it with a more critical eye, which I’m sure you are! I just wanted to share this as a fellow student who’s also researching different cultures, the very notion of researching a new culture is worth research in itself.

[@yjmsidc7706]

To everyone saying she’s inspiring, hear me out: SHE’S NOT. She preaches positivity, but being positive is, in her own words, not about being happy all the time, but about keeping an optimistic attitude when the times are low. Take Eve Bennet, for instance. She went to Germany for her year abroad, but then caught COVID and had all her internships cancelled. Last time I checked, she was still recovering from some symptoms yet actively applying for more internships, and giving herself words of encouragement despite its being obvious that she was struggling. Now THAT is an inspiring example of staying afloat and trying to make the best of an unwanted situation. Jade, however, is not doing that. Instead of accepting reality and making the most out of it, she is disobeying the rules (and the law, as in Switzerland) to create a nicer reality for herself. Then, of course, she will be like “gaaaah the world is so heavy rn but I’m vibinnn, I feel soooo positive”. No shit. If I had put myself first and travelled irresponsibly I would also be “vibinnn” more than being bored at home until god knows when. Jade is not seeing the silver lining in the cloud. She is escaping the cloud, by creating nice experiences for herself at the expense of others: that is not inspiring, it is SELFISH. Especial mention to those of you who claim to be living vicariously through Jade whilst stuck in the British lockdown …like, seriously?! If we all did what Jade is doing we would see no end to this lockdown. Her snuggling with her boyfriend in Switzerland is indirectly contributing to our dreaded tier 4 lasting longer. Stop condoning her actions and being like “wohooo have fun Jade

[@Emma849]

Preach! She needs to accept that she made this selfish choice and own it. She cannot escape accountability forever, no matter how many comments she ignores or deletes or blocks.

Ive been working full-time at Disney world (during a pandemic 😬😭) and doing full time engineering at uni and watching your adventures helps get me through it. I just want to thank you for actually quarantining and taking safety precautions. I deal with thousands of people every day who don't. I miss Germany so much. Aupaired over there for a bit and fell in love. Seeing you having fun there made me so happy.

[@saracampagnoli7644]

I’m learning Turkish and I discovered again the taste of knowing more about foreign cultures, I’m so proud of myself and of you for being so interested. Thanks for the excitement and for your videos ♥️

[@crystaIz]

oh wow!! what made you start learning turkish? I‘m turkish and I don’t see a lot of people wanting to learn the language so I‘m kinda curious!! :)

[@kaushiki6350]

The ending of your videos with the song Bonita give me a Godly level joy and nostalgia and happy screams and omg aaaaaaah! We love you Jade!🦄💙💜

[@vv-dn9fg]

the positivity,, i fvcking love it!! yess!!!

[@jadelauren2269]

I admire your dedication to language learning! ♡

[@rimmy9464]

9:31 thats what ive been doing in quarantine, i started learning urdu (i can speak it, just how to read & write) and japanese. i am now able to form simple sentences in both languages. i have also started learning korean, so far i know all of the alphabets in korean. learning languages is honestly the coolest thing and opens one to understand other cultures to such a large extent. i love it and i hope one day im able to become a polyglot ♡

[@melusine5740]

Jade, you are an amazing human being

[@kaciatelegone1952]

One thing that really worked for me is once I know the basic reading I quickly when straight to my favorite Korean songs and that really improved my pronunciation and made my reading really smooth. Because they are my favorite songs I also learned different expressions and words so quick without the need of memorizing. Maybe it might work for other people I don’t know. Using songs to boost the learning speed really helps. Doing dramatic impressions of Korean drama is also a great way to way and really fun.

[@myrthe0510]

You always make my day Jade :) you’re so inspiring!

[@stephaniew.8746]

Jade, I dont want to be mean, but I am really disappointed in you. Because of people like you, who think they can travel during a PANDEMIC, I even cannot go to school. I have A Levels in a few month!!! Please, is it so hard to say that you are sorry and made a mistake????

[@katiieproctor]

i’m in the same position and i feel exactly the same

[@sophieelizabeth3976]

I was forced to travel and move countries during the pandemic, after my school closed down LAST February. I abided by every travel restriction just like Jade did and so did absolutely nothing wrong. I think you fail to fully understand what it means to travel during the pandemic, many other people I know were also forced to move countries during this time. And you being stuck at home in lockdown does not absolve other people from travelling under correct guidelines. Stop guilt-tripping and using your actually very privileged position to tell others what their doing right or wrong.

[@stephaniew.8746]

@@sophieelizabeth3976 oh yes, I am so incredibly privileged ... I cannot participate in school properly because my suicidal thoughts have been getting worse since we have lockdowns. My therapist already suggested to me going to the hospital. And why? BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO DONT HAVE TO STILL TRAVEL!!! Jade was not forced to go to this stupid university, and besides: there are other people from Minerva who CHOSE to stay home. But, of course, because Jane is so SpEcIaL, she had to go to SK. I wish here nothing less than that SK goes into hard lockdown and she cannot go anywhere. Maybe she then realises how other people feel.

[@anniex5233]

@@stephaniew.8746 she’s literally isolating? She hasn’t infected anyone or made a difference in any way. I’m sorry you’re suicidal but blaming it on one person who has followed travel guidelines is cruel

[@lucymm6037]

It's not a mistake to go to another country while following their covid guidelines. If you think that is wrong then blame it on the country allowing people in, not the person taking chances.

[@hannahbridgetprice4237]

As someone who was meant to be studying abroad in Japan, I am living through these videos 🥺 at least in quarantine you can watch a few videos on being vegan in Seoul! That's what I've been doing for Japan, despite things; I'll get there eventually 😌

[@pandagaming-dy1gs]

These back to back videos! Love the korea videos

[@joshina4497]

I'm so glad that you like BTS and kpop 💜

[@Rose-dw7er]

your glasses are so cute omg!!

[@finnishgirl2371]

Thank you Jade! Your vlogs always make my day! You have taught me so much in 2020 and I have just watched your videos on repeat. Hugs to Seoul from Finland ❤

[@maramfourati5338]

yess jade the music , the fun (they're soo funny) nice to see you're giving them a listen. since you're interested in the culture and social issues bts have many songs adressing different issues i would recommend reading the translations to these songs then there are youtube videos "explained by a korean " that just explain them soo well(can't stress this enough you just understand them way more cause they're explained by a korean) . some of the songs are: spine breaker (about how teens fall into trends and break their parents backs with the cost just to fit in) , baepsae / silver spoon (it's a call out towards the older generations that were born with a "silver spoon " in their mouth and that tell younger generations who struggle with very expensive living costs such as buying houses to just "put in more effort", it's basically in short "ok boomer") , N.O (addresses the educational system that drives many to suicide (there's a really good drama that adresses this issue it's called "sky castle" ( "sky " is the top three universities in seoul you get into with the CSAT which is a really important exam and there's a lot of pressure that comes with it ) and many many other songs about mental health (especially suga's own songs where he himself talks about struggle with anxiety / depression) ps : i think you would really "vibe" with R.M in particular he's honestly a genius all the lyrics he writes i dont know where to start i really enjoy reading the books he recommends i cant even put it into words let's just say he has a philosophical view on life .

[@suhanidaruka432]

The last thing I do before sleeping is watch a jade video and it makes me feel so calm and so nice and thankyou jade you make me feel better ❤️

[@cassiopeia6357]

I don't know if you know this or not, but I save your videos when they come out to watch the next morning, because what I do in the morning sets the tone for the day. Watching your videos always makes me feel lighter and more positive and excited for the day ahead. I am so grateful to be able to watch your content and I just wanted to share that! :) This semester I'm being "furiously happy" which is a philosophy coined by the author Jenny Lawson and I think that book would be right up your alley!

[@leahrose5129]

Ive really been enjoying these videos ☺️

[@ellanimhaille]

Those articles sound so interesting! You always make me smile thanks for sharing your experience. I’m living vicariously through you! Sending love from Ireland 🇮🇪

I've been learning somewhat consistently since quarantine started for me last April! It can definitely be tricky, but it's such an amazing language! You are doing great - keep it up!!

[@youllneverknowme2195]

I'd recommend reading "Human acts" by Han Kang. Fantastic book

[@JuBoMarlen]

And 'The Vegetarian' as well!

[@Amy-kp1oe]

Ohh I’ve just started reading it! What’s your opinion on the book? I’ve only read a few pages and so far I’m finding it a bit gory haha

[@JuBoMarlen]

@@Amy-kp1oe the first time I read it I thought it was a really strange book haha. But then I read it again together with someone else and we had a lot of discussions about what things could mean metaphorically and then I thought it was actually a really interesting book :)
