"Everyday is pride when you're gay" is my new motto

I just secrued a position through EPIK! are there any websites or blog posts that talk about being a first time expat? Basically advice about banks, travel, what to bring, etc.

Looking forward to seeing your new edu- ventures! Best of luck!

Hi alex, would it be okay if I email you some questions and get your feedback? I am very interested in teaching in Korean and am a bit overwhelmed by the all the information. Your videos really resonate with me

Can we be friends I’m a photographer/influencer in Nj near nyc about to start teaching in Korea this November.

The way you say waygugin is kinda funny to me😂😂😂 wishing you the best your second time in KR and welcome back!!💕

the west is def doomed lol

Hi, I'm in South Africa, and I do have all my documents ready for visa application, I've been trying out recruiters , Dave's ESL Cafe, Facebook even Apple tree recruiters, still no luck, I need assistance

I passed my interview with EPIK and I'm at the document sending process! I hope i get Jeju! Thank you for your videos, they help a lot!

I’m here after getting rejected from EPIK lol

Hi Alex! I sent you a DM on insta, I have some questions about EPIK vs Private!

Could you talk about the prep needed to come to Korea? I'm finishing up my degree and have started looking at all the other steps neded to teach at a Hagwon. I've looked at the visa, but I'm stumped on how to find a good hagwon. TIA!!

The instrumental music matches the cheerful vibe of the video. Have a gorgeous day!

Absolutely love your content, its been helping me sm with my research.❤ I had a quick question though, if you don't llike your apartment, are you ever allowed to change it?

Hi Alex, I have an interview with I-Garten in Haeundae beach, Busan. I can't seem to find it on either the Green or Black list. Do you know anything about them?

I think you're adorable. 😍

EPIK > Private Schools

I live for your videos😊 patiently waiting for my interview with EPIK

Gurl I think I’m moving to Korea to teach this fall and you have literally inspired me ever since I started watching your vlogs over a year ago! Luv ya boo, and love love love these videos:)<3

Hi Alex! Honestly thank you so much for this video. I'm starting to apply to teach in korea and I've been going back and forth between hagwon and EPIK. This vid really helped a lot 💕 Currently I am an English teacher online, the students are all adult and mostly have a good level and its small groups, however and I feel like the only thing I'm missing and really really want is to be able to speak to the students personally and really get to know them and track their progress. The way the company I work for set things up, I teach brand new students every lesson, everyday. So theres like no way of developing any type of relationship with the students. Watching this really just made things really clear about what to expect since I've been leaning more towards Hagwons anyway. Also can you please share more about the green and black lists for Hagwons? Whats the most reliable source? 💕

Thanks for your youtubes. I'm going to Seoul later this year and I was wondering if you can suggest any queer tour guides or LGBTQ+ friendly organizations providing tour services that I could look into.

No doubt you are still single! And what is that in ur face? Seborrheic Dermatitis or Eczema?!

My boyfriend and I are doing our first year teaching in Sejong at a hagwon , we are excited but super nervous as well.

I watched your videos when I first applied to EPIK last year 😊 Welcome back to South Korea!

great video! im currently in the process of waiting for a response about my epik application but im considering a hagwon as a backup but omg being brand new to all this, going through the process of looking for hagwons and such is overwhelming. what was your process like in all that?

🔥🔥 Will u ever do irl vlogs like a day in the life? If not that’s fine we enjoy your updates

Wassup

It's good to see you back in Korea - we are looking forward to your gorgeous videos. PS: When I was in Korea (2012) there was an amazing place called "Butter Finger Pancakes" - if it's there, please go. They also have fish and chips if you are homesick

I had the worst job of my LIFE at a kindy hagwon in Gangnam. I've never done epik, but taught adults (at a hagwon), worked at an international school on Jeju, and lastly worked at a private elementary school. And man, the kindergarten hagwon was easily easily EASILY the worst job I've had of my life (including all my menial labor jobs in the states.) But I've heard some are good - god speed.

Alex!!! I am so happy for you! I have an interview for EPIK next Sunday! You are making me want to take the Hagwon path instead 🥹 I am so excited to see all your updates. Praying we can meet one day 🙏🏼🌷

so excited for you!!! i’m pretty sure i want to finally try teaching english in korea next year (fall 2025) and i def think i’ll go epik for ease for the first time, but if i stay for another year then the hagwon route!!

Great video! So so excited for your new adventure ✨

that's so exciting!! I decided to go to KU and I'm in my second semester now and I've fallen in love with Seoul so I hope you enjoy the different atmosphere

Cheers - I’ve been lucky in Korea with two hagwons I’ve worked for across seven years. My own classroom, higher pay, seeing the students improve over time, and being in a location of my choosing are the key reasons why I stay at a hagwon.

Welcome back 😍❤️

Hearing you say that one bottle of soju has you sorted for the night made me feel like an alcoholic 😂 I have been in Korea for 13 years and one bottle of soju doesn’t even give me a buzz anymore

I watched your videos religiously during my EPIK application!! Feels crazy to type this from my apartment in Daegu now that I'm here thanks to you!! <3

Bestie!!!🥹🥹🥹 Wild!! So crazy watching this because you were one of the people that I watched as motivation and now I'm also in Korea under Epik.❤

Hello Alex, in one of your videos you mentioned a wifi plan. Please plug me, I am in Daegu and looking for affordable wifi

Can I please ask how you afforded traveling around the world?

About public displays of affection, people most definitely would say something if you were to kiss someone in public. It's not about sexuality, that - it would be the case if it were male-female too. And, yes, people would talk about it, especially if you were to do it somewhere where Koreans behave even more conservatively. You probably wouldn't know they're talking about you. I'm in Korea too (Busan) and from Manchester also by the way, hi.

I've just started in Daegu with EPIK and your videos were soso helpful when I found out I'd been placed here! Happy you had a wonderful year traveling and so happy to have you back here. I'm also so impressed by how little you managed to bring with you! I definitely brought so much more haha

Omg WELCOME BACK!! I started watching your videos when I was still back home in the U.S. considering teaching in Korea. Now I've been living in Korea for a year 🥳 Time flies!! Happy to keep following you on your new adventure!

Yyaaaaasssssss!!!+

Welcome to Korea.

thank you for coming to malaysia😊🌷

Welcome back! 🫶

Omg! Just found your KZfaq channel and I had to hit follow IMMEDIATELY because of your cheerful vibe and bright personality! All the best to your new journey in Korea, I can’t wait for more videos from you 😍 also hello from a Malaysian living in Melbourne 😉🎉

Oh my God ❤❤❤❤ Happy to hear that and be happy in Korea ✨💕💕💕
