I'm sorry for your loss Kieun, sending you all my love and support 💚🌼

[@softycadence3340]

I’m so glad you got to spend that time with her in February. Condolences to you and your family. Going through your videos with her, thankfully you have a lasting memory to recall whenever you miss her. My grandma was everything to me - another mother figure, best friend, and mentor. When she passed, I stopped seeing color in the world for a long time. It’s been years, but I still feel bereft each time I see someone who resembles her. Living in Seoul, that happens more often than you think. People say that the pain of losing someone fades with time, but I don’t think of it that way. Speaking from first hand experience after losing both my father and grandmother, I think grief slowly evolves over the years and becomes snippets of happy memories that uplifts your soul whenever you need them.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Kieun. Grandmas are a treasure 😥💔 Oceans of love and light to you and your family ❤️

[@lozzawayne.official]

I just got to the end of your video and I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma passing. After you talking about your parents and how you want to spend more time with them, it really hit home how important it is to be around the ones you love. Sending you and your family all my condolences ❤

[@AmandaPace85]

[@StainedOceanBlue]

Recommendations for LA: Things to do: -the BROAD museum, especially the mirrored infitinity room - Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills (gorgeous gardens that are free!m1 day a month the mansion itself it open, but the gardens alone are amazing!) -Rosebowl flea market -Studio tours (especially warner bros or paramount, touristy things can be fun too!) Coffee shops: -Maru coffee -Dayglow (they have a studio ghilbi themed menu) Food: -Destroyer LA (the food looks aesthetic, but I've never gone. I cant remember if you have gone here?) Enjoy the time you have left in LA! Great vlog!

[@estherlannn]

the ending's so touching! I'm glad that your grandma's in heaven with Jesus now!

[@yolanday9200]

Deep Condolences for your Grandma, sending you a virtual hug. Be happy in LA, as much as you can. Thankyou for the content, caused I missing korean american girl too since her gone. You video make me feel better

[@HannaInTheHandsOfGod]

I've moved to new cities where I didn't know anyone several times. It's daunting but exciting. My advice is to volunteer maybe one day a week with the poor or with kids or take a weekly class doing something you're interested in trying. With volunteer work, you meet many kind and genuine people. And by taking a class you'll meet like-minded people. Finding a good church in your new city and getting involved there is the most beneficial. 😊 Blessings!

[@BlancaRuiz-g3x]

Hi Kieun, your vlogs are so lovely. I am so sorry for your loss. Grandparents are very special people in our lives. In terms of ideas of things to do, LA has many farmers markets throughout the year, they are always fun and delicious. Visiting Food Truck areas is also something interesting. Another thing to consider is a day at a vineyard, it always feels like small vacation to Europe. Take a weekend and stay in San Francisco, i'm sure there will be plenty of cafes and pretty spots to see and show. Stay healthy and safe ☺

[@sanami_m.n51]

Gloomy weather+ Kieun vlogs🤌🏽perfect combo✨

[@KieunChoi]

yay love that! have a wonderful week ahead 💙

[@BrittanyChenteale]

So sorry for your loss but it’s good you got to see her fairly recently! ❤

[@Kistan12]

I’m so sorry for your grandma’s passing. It was nice that you spent time with her when you lived in Korea. I really enjoy your blogs but for some reason, it feels like you aren’t 100% happy except when you were in Korea. Your whole demeanor changed when you were on Korea for a visit and it’s definitely due to having your friends there. Hope your next journey will be as fulfilling and fun!

[@mahakhan7285]

Sad to hear about your loss. But need to say this to you. Now you have two beautiful souls, your grandpa and grandma watching over you from above❤💫 they are closer to you then ever before.

[@vgh332]

Im so glad your grandma is with the Lord and the time you spent with her on your visit

[@jackiefernandez6083]

I love the LA videos as usual, so aesthetically pleasing. I'm always happy to see your perspective of it.

[@joeylyngertes1483]

Im sorry for your lost keiun. Regarding your plans i i agree to spend more time with your parents and you have the capability to travel with them in europe that would be best❤

[@jackolifestyle3603]

Sorry for your loss. It's always hard loosing a grandparent / loved one.

[@maureenchin4069]

So sorry for your loss. Family is such an important part of our lives which we take for granted and later feel guilty for not treasuring them enough. Glad you are making your choices based on that. I believe you will be blessed with a partner who treasure the same values n wisdoms like yours. ❤

[@vanialadeira9]

I´m so sorry for your loss, condolences. It's really sad and my grandma has been really sick lately too, times have been hard...

[@kimvoorhis4481]

I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet grandma. So happy you were able to spend time with her recently! She is now safe in the arms of Jesus. Prayers for all!

[@The_Story_of_Her_Life]

I'm so sorry for your grandma passing away. RIP. As for Europe, just watching your journey through your vlogs, i'm sure you'll make friends anywhere you go, but i can understand you also wanting to treat your parents next year. That sounds even more fun and meaningful. Be well.

[@followlin]

so sorry for your lost. My condolences to you and your family

[@karli4074]

awwwww that last part really got to me 💔🥲 i miss my grandma so so much, she was always the one i loved the most. but you’re right i’m happy too that they aren’t suffering anymore. love you, sending prayers your way i’m sorry for your loss 💗

[@ashbloomer9870]

I'm so absolutely sorry for your loss of Grandma. They are the best, so I send love to you and your family during this time. Second, love that you're clear on what you want as far as moving to NYC. I was rooting for Europe but I'm excited for your next steps wherever you end up. Hugs and amazing vibes your way.

[@Tashas_Travels]

You can carry a kindle for reading. It's light and you can read a lot of books.

[@gailmurphy635]

Hope you are doing well Kieun. I sorry to hear about yout grandma. it's always hard. Sending you prayers.

[@afloridagalabroad]

I feel like you would do very well in NYC, and it's easier to make friends when you can quite literally run into people (but it's still large enough where that wouldn't happen too often). Europe is great (I'm in the UK now), but yes, it took some time to make friends and you reallyyyy have to put yourself out there. It's difficult but not impossible! And I think also (I believe this is still the case) I've found that people were looking for friends post-pandemic. I joined facebook groups, classes, met friends through social media too. Best of luck on your next adventure

[@Karyoot]

I would highly suggest going to The Exchange for dinner and go to a concert :) it's in DTLA, the head chef is an asian american woman focusing on middle eastern / viet / asian fusion cuisine. Talk to her, and shoutout to Rafael he's an awesome dude who works there. We had a great time staying at the hotel. Also would recommend some art museums, though if you come to NY I have way more suggestions ~

[@robertking1367]

Kieun, it is nice to see you back in LA. I wondered if there was a setting in a garden full of flowers blooming, hummingbirds flying, maybe somewhere you could wear the comfortably looking clothes of KOTN. Hah Hah. They did look snuggily though, happy. I liked the close up cooking. Another smile. Take Care and Be Well. New York will keep you entertained with sponsors and events as an influencer and I believe wherever you go you will meet new people who will cherish your friendship.

[@ljohnson3034]

My condolences to you and your family, Kieun. Grateful that you were able to spend quality time with your grandmother. Praying that cherished memories will comfort you during this difficult time.

[@robynaboverubiesorpearls]

I had to stop the video to give you some recommendations of what to do here. You can go check out the wildflowers. Because of all the rain we got, we are having a superbloom this year. Also, because of all the snow we got in the mountains, you can go skiing in Big Bear. Just two things off the top of my head. I’m sorry about the loss of your grandmother. It is good that you had that time with her before she passed away. Prayers 💐🙏🏽😢

[@edwardtakenaka5647]

Buckets of tears.....my deepest condolences .... your love for Grandma was immeasurable ....❤❤‍🩹❤❤‍🩹❤❤‍🩹❤❤‍🩹❤.... you're the best..... hands down..... ❤❤❤ to mom and dad

[@mhn7700]

so sorry for your loss Kieun. condolences to your whole family. I'm glad you got to make some final memories with her in february

[@PieceofPaik]

Your 할머니 will always be watching over you. Love the bond you shared with your grandparents ❤❤

[@Lanibluv]

So sorry for your loss, I will be sending up prayers for you and your family.🙏🏾 As far as something different to do in LA...I cannot think of the name but there is a beautiful botanical garden I believe in the Pasadena or Altadena area. They have Peacocks and a waterfall, and onsite cafe. It's a very relaxing and beautiful place.

[@InaLouise]

I suggest getting a kindle so you can read wherever! It’s my most favorite gadget 🥹🤍

[@knpape3]

Have you been to the Getty museum yet?! That could be a place to explore and I’d love to live vicariously through you 😭

[@gbfgs]

I’m so sorry to hear about your grandma. I’ll keep you and your family in my prayers🤍 I feel like it’s hard to think of things to do in LA. Southern California has a lot of activities that you can take advantage of though! I recommend trying surfing, going camping or to yellowstone, roller skating at the beach, going to amusement parks, whale watching (Long Beach?), going to a symphony at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, or seeing the flowers at Carlsbad/Antelope Valley. If you ever want to explore OC again (it’s boring but pleasant), I’m down here and can give more localized recommendations :)

[@laniex27]

my condolences Kieun! make sure you take some time to rest and grieve. good luck with wherever you decide to move, too. as much as people say that ny is expensive, your personal reasons for leaning towards it are valid. you'll never regret spending more time with your parents

[@thetravelingwanderer]

Some Restaurant Suggestions: Little Sister (Vietnamese Fusion), Sugarfish (Affordable Sushi), Gracias Madre (Vegan Mexican), Providence (French/ Seafood), Majordomo (Asian Fusion), and C&O's (Italian)!

[@emy6504]

I’m so very sorry for your loss ❤ seeing your Granny’s hand with the elder skin moved such tender feelings in my heart, for both of you ❤️ a hug from Italy 🇮🇹

[@sherrylalonde5719]

Art galleries, museums, public libraries- L.A. has some amazing cultural institutions. On the more commercial side: wineries and film studio tours.

[@crissy000]

Hi kieun, sorry for your loss... Looking at your vlogs, I'm sure you'll thrive wherever you'll go as you have a great personality and still young to explore.. And Having the best time is creating those meaningful time or memories with your parents/ circle of support. All the best,,

[@JulissaLopezBeltran]

I’m so sorry I am sending a virtual hug. Thank you for your videos I always look forward to watching 🤍

[@allegators]

I'm happy you had the opportunity to spend time with your grandmother in February❣Keeping you in my thoughts, Kieun💕 As the weather warms in LA, definitely check out the beautiful beaches! Malibu is worth the drive. I recommend Paradise Cove (restaurant & beach access) and of course the Malibu Pier and Surfrider Beach. Also, if you haven't been to the Getty Center & Getty Villa I HIGHLY recommend both. The views from either museum are amazing but the art and architecture always leave me in awe. Other art museums to check out- LACMA, The Broad, Hammer Museum.

[@yolandyu1203]

I’m so sorry for your loss, Kieun. Hope u’ll get to spend more time with your parents after moving to NY. We look forward to watching your NYC vlogs and your parents’ homemade food 😋

[@dianalee441]

My condolences to you and your fam for your recent loss. Losing a loved one is never easy. I hope you find comfort in some way during this difficult time. I agree moving to a new city all on your own without close social support is def one of the most challenging things. I’m sure you will make the best choice for yourself given all the circumstances. Glad you’re able to have some fun memories in LA with your new friends.

[@MzLashawn1]

What would your recommendations be?
