Dear Kieun, there's no way we'd think you're ridiculous for moving around! On the contrary, I think we're happy you get to do that 💖 And if moving back to Korea makes the most sense to you, then that's great!! I'm happy we'll get more Korea vlogs :) You have an unique way to capture Seoul (and other places too, of course)

[@tatacolica]

Yeees! And honestly makes me admire her more for being so courageous

[@alyssarosengard6674]

Don’t worry about what we think. I’m glad you are traveling while you are young. Enjoy traveling and having fun. I’m glad you gave LA a try. Time spent adventuring is never time lost.

[@Cuandonoduermo]

Girl, I’m so happy you are going back to Seoul! I feel like when you are there you shine brighter and personally I really loved your Seoul vlogs a lot more, LA is not very interesting to me I guess 🤣 though you are interesting anywhere in the world! 😘

[@sommersailing1381]

I feel exactly the same ❤ 😊

[@personallyjoua]

Following 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@AshMkmccartney]

I’m in shock!! When you moved to LA I also moved to my home country thinking I would have a better life, but this week I decided to go back to London (where I lived for 10 years)and you are also planning of going back! Life is a journey and everything happens for a reason, I learned my lesson I hope you’ve also found the peace and the answers you were looking for ❤

[@vuletshvhs4451]

Love you Kieun,it’s not ridiculous that you are moving back. You also seemed happier in Korea. Sending you love all the way from South Africa🇿🇦

[@azandentuli5735]

I’m also watching from South Africa!

[@adriennehilll]

EXCITED FOR KOREA CONTENT ❤

[@KieunChoi]

see you back in korea ☺️💖

[@sandyt8981]

Kieun, I'm so sorry you haven't felt safe in L.A. It's obvious that you were happier in Korea, and you should always go where your heart takes you. Your trip to Europe sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. Your editing skills are top notch; you make it look easy, but I'm sure it's anything but. 🙂

[@EstherLee0901]

Hi Kieun, Thanks for sharing your faith with us honestly and openly as it has a huge influence. I’m also a PK that grew up in Australia with Korean parents and i understand where you are coming from. I’ll be praying for you and your heart! No matter what, ‘No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.’ (Romans 8:39). All the best for your new journey! ❤

[@mimisksk5]

aw this comment is so sweet!

[@joshuasamuelsundaraj7455]

amen

[@tasteintrip7671]

Oh Kieun.. it may seem ridiculous at first, but returning to where we are most comfortable is the truest thing. being honest with yourself is not easy. so stay where you are most comfortable and be happy. Love from Indonesia ♥

[@onlylyah_]

Congratulations on moving back to Korea I'm happy for you💗

[@AnyFishKiller]

I’ve been watching since you’ve had like 5 videos lol but ever since you moved out of Korea I haven’t been watching as much. Happy you’re moving back

[@OhNomi93]

Love that you made the leap to LA, took the time to spend time away from Korea and then were able to listen to your heart and make the decision to go back. Korea is definitely not perfect (I think all of us girlies living here can attest to that) but if it’s what makes you the most happy then it’s the only way forward~ 💛

[@cindyfern]

I'm kinda sad that you're already leaving. It's nice to see your LA recommendations 😔 I recently moved to another city so it was nice feeling like I'm not alone

[@joybelema1834]

Kieun! Im so excited for you!!! You are such a breathe of fresh air in this space, so wherever you go we will be excited and supporting you! ♥️

[@theohgreatshortone13]

I saw the title and almost threw my remote! I’m so happy for you, Kieun!!!! I’m continuing to pray that things stay great for you!❤

[@poisedwithpurposeco]

You are such a joy to watch ❤ May God continue to bless you on your journey! Prayers for a safe move to Korea! 🤍🕊️

[@hanzchristiana]

How cool that you are moving back to Korea!! 🥳🥳🥳Glad you've taken the time to make the decision that is best for you!! 🧡 Also I have loads of respect for you being so open about church hurt (people in church who hurt you)...it is sooo real and raw and I am definitely navigating and slowly coming out of that incredibly rocky season! Praying that God gives you some great community and friends when you move back to Korea..its genuinely one of the things that has kept my faith going when church has been rocky, but God is good throughout it all💙💙💙xo

[@adultingisnotabreeze]

Yayyyyy! So happy to learn that you'll be back in Korea anytime soon. Excited for your korea vlogs! 🎉

[@jacqueline2121]

[@Mnguyen92]

That pink dress🤩 I was mind blown right away

[@jinnymoon]

Hi Kieun! I'm glad you found what works for you! Congratulations, and I wish you brighter and happier days ahead! We will always be here to support you xx

[@spookyywitch]

Congrats on moving back to Korea Kieun! I think you should always do what makes you happy and if being back there does that for you then go for it. 🖤

[@imaturtle65]

Aaa back to Korea! I am so excited for this video. Wishing you all love and blessings. Your vlog previews are my favorite ❤

[@belinda8727]

i am so happy for you and super excited to see you vlog in korea again!! miss all the cafe hopping!!

[@christinejoymananita1573]

would love to hear more about your faith in your vlogs more regularly hehe like what books you're reading or what God's been telling you through the people you meet, what you read, and your experiences. super enjoyed this q&a!

[@farahlaily]

Congratulations on your move! I’ve only becoming your subscriber recently as I was looking for recommendations on places to go in Jeju as it’s been 3 years since I last visited Korea. I like how realistic your contents are and of course, the cool places to eat since I’m a foodie! Looking forward to more contents from you soon 💕💕💕

[@mimisksk5]

i’m a new subscriber but i’m so joyful that you are open about your faith! it’s makes me happy to see content creators who are bold about their love for God! may God continue to guide your footsteps 💗

[@Mewbenewbe]

Hi Kieun. I am so glad I have found your page its now my comfort channel. I've been relating to you more recently when youve been talking about your struggles. so much love

[@KieunChoi]

thank you ellie 🥺💕

[@abigailrobas2230]

Thank you for sharing these big updates Kieun. Everything that you do is so refreshing. Good luck and thanks again!

[@OliviaKnightley02]

Happy for your move back to Korea! I wish you well ❤

[@FrugalOverFifty]

Congratulations on your upcoming Europe trip and your move back to Korea! 🎉 And thank you for sharing your life (and recipes) here. I’m a MK (missionary kid) and I relate to what you said. Here’s to a wonderful summer and a peaceful return to Korea in the fall.

[@tinahuegel]

I heard other KZbinrs talk about the pressure you get from comments regarding your looks or weight etc. I can imagine that it's hard to just ignore them. Anyway, I hope your not worrying too much about it. If you want to gain weight that's fine but if you don't want to, that's ok too. You seem to eat very healthy and do exercise so it's normal that you are skinny. And you seem to have a very healthy lifestyle and that's the important thing. Don't necessarily put too much pressure on yourself as long as you're healthy. And I just watched a show on Netflix about Sicily so I'm super excited for your vlog! ❤️

[@tracyelle2023]

Praying that God would prepare each step along the way for you as you look to journey back to Korea, Kieun! You look so lovely and at peace in this video, and it’s clear that Korea holds an irreplaceable place in your heart, no matter the prior difficulties or obstacles. Wishing you all the best!🎉 P.S. really enjoyed this Q&A!

[@whatsupwkirsten]

Hey Kieun, congrats on your decision to move back to Korea! Selfishly I am so excited to see a new chapter of Korea vlogs from you 😍 Keep following your heart -- it's nice to see you so happy 😀

[@evessdiary]

So excited for the Korea vlogs again 🥹

You have such a sweet and lovely vibe to you. Sometimes you can just see a person and know they are gentle and warm , you are one of them 💙 love your vlogs 🦋

[@ew_ka]

Good luck Kieun💚🤍so happy for you to be back in Korea. Waiting for the vlogs😊

[@So-nf3wx]

So glad to hear that you are moving back to Korea!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Yay, I personally LOVED your korea vlogs 🙌🏼

[@AmandaPace85]

Hi Kieun! I want to mention how much I always love and appreciate how honest you are. I wish you the very best for the best chapter of moving to Korea next fall, you should do what works best for you and I will definitely enjoy Korea content too. I hope you're having a lovely time travelling to Europe.

[@Gingersnap0]

About 20ish years ago when I was considering my first big move out of the state I had grown up and gone to college in, I had an older friend tell me, “You won’t really know where home is until you live someplace that isn’t.” I’ve had a few big moves since then and each one has been it’s own adventure where I’ve learned something new about myself. Good for you for stepping outside of your comfort zone and trying a new place. And good for you for knowing that Seoul is where you really want to be. I think the majority of your long time viewers, including me, are super excited for you to be back in South Korea!

[@ct_ministry]

Love you so much, Kieun, and this makes me so happy that your going back to Korea💛

[@ireneladies]

So happy for you Kieun 🎉 can’t wait for the Europe vlogs, enjoy your trip ❤

[@csellee]

I'm honestly so so happy and excited you're moving back to korea! I'm used to you roaming around korea, I miss it!! Can't wait for your korea vlogs again, don't care if anyone judges that you're moving back. It's obvious that korea is your place and i'm sure some of us think so too. (:💕

[@mhn7700]

omg! packing for my holiday tomorrow and literally dropped everything when I saw your notif cos KOREAAA YAY! so excited us both LOL. who cares if you move around, I'm just glad you're following your heart. when you needed a break from Korea, I'm glad you got out, and if you're ready to go back, I'm happy about that, too. hopefully there'll be some more east coast trips vlogs in our future then 😉 anyways, loved the long vlog. you seem happy ❤

[@DiamondPreston1234]

Omg I'm too excited about about Korea vlogs

[@charlottesincero717]

It's absolutely amazing. I love how well articulated you are and what makes me love your content more and more. I'm super happy to know that you'll be back in Korea. But have a relaxing time till.

[@ritatouilles00]

I'm happy for the lovely videos of LA you've shown us. But you seem to beam in Korea, so I'm happy you're goin back! I came to your channel when you posted your first cafe hopping vlog ☕ I also moved last year to a dream city but life isn't like I imagined so I'm going back home! It's amazing to be able to experience things and then change our mind hahah ☁

[@Maaa8618]

I’m so happy that you’re gonna back to Korea, I was missing so much your Korea’s vlogs ❤

[@LaurenCornilleau]

I’m so happy for you and can’t wait to follow your new adventures in Korea! 🥰 It’s important to try new things and experiences, you give it a go in the US and realize you prefer Korea more. It takes courage to move abroad and start again. I admire you a lot for that. Take good care of yourself 💜

[@sukanyabae8581]

Hi Kieun, when you announced you’re moving to LA last year, I wanted to move to another country like you. And you know what? I did! I moved to another Asian country by myself this month, and you’re always one of my inspiration and encouragement. Thank you! Hope you have a nice time in Europe, and everything smooth back to South Korea.

[@sabinepaley6379]

I love how you move around and try new things!!

[@daydreamslove4]
