UnJaded Jade's video: 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! Talk To Me in Korean: https://talktomeinkorean.com/ My beloved blue light glasses are from Cyxus!
