British Expat Vloggers Featured in the Korea Times
The Korea Times has an article about two British expats in Seoul who have a very successful Youtube channel where they conduct short documentary like interviews of random Korean people:
His understanding of Korea and Korean culture is reflected in the roughly 150 videos uploaded to his YouTube channel. Teaming up with his business partner Joel Bennet, they explore Korea to shoot mukbang, have casual discussions about Korea-related topics and create short documentary-style videos. Those videos aim to show the real Korea, starring Bright’s neighbors and other ordinary people he meets. As of Thursday, “Dan and Joel” has some 272,000 subscribers.

You can read much more at the link, but I started browsing through their videos today. One of the videos I watched that was featured with the article was of them interviewing one of Korea’s ubiquitous cardboard collecting ladies. Definitely a tough life for the elderly people doing that job.
The guy’s Korean is better than mine; I need to step up my game. His sit-down with the old lady was fascinating; I might have to subscribe to his channel.
I know there’s a ton of news to blog about, but I’m surprised you haven’t picked up the story coming out of Pyeongtaek: a few days ago, an insanely angry father drove into (into!!) a MiniStop convenience store and used his car to smash the store’s interior up while the police stood outside for at least five minutes, looking useless and doing nothing. The guy accused the store of not sending along his daughter’s artwork via courier (I guess the artwork was supposed to be entered into some competition or something). The whole thing is a hot mess. Tons of video on YouTube. Do a search of “ka chingu news 평택미니스톱,” and you’ll get lots of video results.
Dumbass, lazy father should have used certified mail via Korea Post.
@Kevin Kim, thanks for the tip. I just looked it up and wow! I had no idea that a Hyundai Genesis was indestructible! I will put a posting on this soon.
