Just so happy seeing you successful and living your best life. So happy you have a career that you love (and honestly so happy to hear you have a more stable visa situation). You deserve all the good things that come to you -- just praying for all the best for you. Love from Houston...

[@NataliaGarza]

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 That's so nice like what~~ Thank you for your prayers ❤️

[@AmandaPace85]

I've missed your vlogs so much. It might sound silly but you truly inspire me to keep pushing to achieve my goals. I'm so happy you're doing well!! 💗💗

[@NataliaGarza]

Awwww 🥹🥹 I'm touched that you missed the vlogs 🥹🥹🥹 I know mainly only my subscribers watch them, so I appreciate it a lot 🤍

[@corgisrule21]

Omg i don’t listen to RV, but their lightstick is so freaking cute 😭😭😭

[@corgisrule21]

Beginner content for native Koreans are children’s books. I’ve accepted this.😂😂😂 It’s far less depressing than trying to read the news as a beginner lol

[@alexandrayllanes9855]

My gosh “So much Chisme!” 😂😂😂

[@lizkoreanstudies-lg3qw]

That was my favorite part😂❤ I was looking for this comment

[@NataliaGarza]

I use my Spanish sometimes 💅🏻 🤣🤣🤣

[@donghokim6307]

Thanks for the fun videos all the time. 한국사람은 잘 못느끼겠는데 어느 부분에서 그런건지 모르겠어요. Could you point out that?

[@gimmewater1652]

thank you for motivating me every single time

[@NataliaGarza]

Thank you for supporting my channel~!

[@vivsanchez9770]

Ah girl it’s so good to see you with so much light! I’m glad you’re doing well!!

[@NataliaGarza]

💃🏻💃🏻 i'm doing pretty good hehe

[@Coralinemz]

So nice to see you that happy ☺️❤

[@melwithluv5941]

Very cool video! I loved the blossoms! I know you said it’s a little early, but wow what you still showed us was still so pretty! I hope you enjoyed the concert btw. Lolol it makes me want to get into other groups! I’m more of a casual fan of a lot them but who knows what the future holds! I have not been able to watch a lot of videos lately due to my schedule, but I wanted to mention that we are proud and happy to see you’re doing really well. I saw the video about the new job, that’s amazing! Best wishes.

[@paulwalther5237]

yay I learned a new word (hoogi). I want to check out the StoryLearning course. I am no longer a beginner after several years but I've been so curious about Story Learning. The Red Velvet concert sounds like so much fun.

[@NataliaGarza]

I'm not sure how far along you are in your studies, but I think even an upper beginner could learn from their beginner course (intermediate course coming soon). The stories aren't as easy as you would expect haha They are extremely situation-based, so it you aren't being "babied," for lack of a better word, into Korean

[@bubblea750]

I’m so happy to see you’re happy 💜

더 한국 브이로그를 보면 볼 수록 한국에 이사하기까지 기다리기 더 힘들어요ㅠㅠ 올해 벛꽃이 너무 여뻐 보여요. 미래에 벛꽃이 직접으로 보이면 너무 좋겠어요.

[@NataliaGarza]

한국에 올 때까지 가고 싶은 곳이 네이버 지도 앱에 저장하면 도착하자마자 서울을 쉽게 구경할 수 있을 것 같아요~!!

[@maizydayz]

Such a pretty and vibey video!! ❤

[@NataliaGarza]

Vibey ✨✨

[@sarahm2005]

I missed your vlogs 😊

[@NataliaGarza]

I missed making them~! I want to film them more often, but not being able to film at work would make them kind of boring ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[@KathyakaNina]

So beautiful to see you enjoying Spring in Korea! I saw Twice last year by myself & I had a blast! Idk if I’ll be able to see them again in LA. I’m waiting for other SM groups to make the World Tour announcement like 👀 I’m like you Natalia I have gotten light sticks here & there the past 3 years. I own too many

[@MelissaLearns]

Beyond jealous that you are seeing BOTH Red Velvet and Twice! Enjoy!!!

[@NataliaGarza]

I've decided that this is my concert girl era ahahahahahah

[@inaledford7045]

Ahh I’m going there for school next year and I’m terrified. I

[@NataliaGarza]

There's no reason to be terrified~~ haha Maybe just anxious enough to properly prepare~~

[@user-ik1qj8ni4o]

Lol smart cookie 🍪

[@NataliaGarza]

Exactly hahahha

[@Arishemthe_judge]

Hello

[@valkarasskazala5.]

oh im second

[@Arishemthe_judge]

I’m first

[@FeelKoreaTV]

You are so cute. 당신은 정말 귀엽습니다.

[@NataliaGarza]

감사드립니다~

[@mama_bex8468]

I would like to know if all lightsticks sync up at concerts like the army bomb does?

[@user-ik1qj8ni4o]

I know TXT and SKZ and Seventeen and Ateez light sticks do

[@NataliaGarza]

It depends on when the light stick was made so for older groups there are first gen or second gen light sticks probably don’t have Bluetooth features. Most of the light sticks that are being released these days have the Bluetooth feature however, BTS’ is the only one I know of that has an app and requires you to manually sync it with the concert. My Red Velvet and Twice light sticks automatically sync to the concert without me doing anything.

[@sharontyson7501]

I’m thinking of traveling to Korea with my daughter who is a fan. Do you do private tours?

[@NataliaGarza]

Thank for your interest, but I do not 😓😓 I can recommend a few tour agencies in Seoul though if you'd like~

[@JohnCiaccio]

I found many listing for small tours in S. Korea. I totally recommend one as it saved me a lot of time and money when visiting. The private tour we went on was sponsored by the national ginseng company so it was super cheap and our guide was especially knowledgeable.

[@aJazzyFeel]

much love and happiness let's enjoy the fresh year to the fullest

[@NataliaGarza]

우리 그렇게 해요~!!
