Korean gay's LA trip vlog�️ (pt.1)

It's been a while since I felt this American vibe.

This is the room I'll be staying in

during my trip.

Let me show you around.

There's

a bed in this room.

The shower stall, sink

and toilet.

Yeah.

You're the best, auntie.

You're the best, auntie.

I just came in.

I'm suffering from jet lag

so I'm tired right now.

Even if you fly business class

you can't help it with feeling out of sorts.

But it was good.

I'm going to rest first.

Whoosh!

Good morning.

It's 3 a.m. right now.

Is it?

It's not, hold on.

It's

8:34 p.m.

The first day just goes by like this.

But I'm going to stay long here.

I thought I couldn't get over the jet lag

but I slept so well.

How did this happen?

Today...

I'm not sure what I'll be doing

so I have nothing to say.

Anyway...

Good morning.

This is Day 2.

See you later.

This is all I can say.

Wow!

Right now, I'm

listening to the song from "La La Land"

while walking along this beach.

I love it!

So cold.

Arrived in LA.

I came to a friend's house

to have a date with him.

Why didn't you bring your camera?

Oh, you did.

I'm going to film with this.

Don't.

Why?

This is my first time coming to an apartment in LA.

You should be filming a nice apartment...

Not an old one like this.

No, I like it.

- It's cheap here.
- It's okay.

How much is it?

A month?

That's crazy.

This place is built with concrete.

Do I take off my shoes?

Right now.

We're Korean.

It gets decent light.

- It's just an another apartment view.
- Oh yea. Just an apartment.

- I can hear people having s** .
- What?

There is a couple

with some kind of sexual disorder?

They do it with the window wide open.

Isn't that better?

This place is huge.

What? If you measure it with cubic meters...

I have no money after I pay the rent.

Right. Why is it so expensive?

I guess you get a lot of money.

- It's nothing compared to you.
- Me...

I don't make money like 500K Youtuber.

What are you talking about?

- Don't use formal language.
- Why?

It's disgusting.

I got you...

We'll do the gift exchange.

That's not mine.

But I was asked to get

Aespa's CDP album.

I don't know. My foreign friend asked for it.

I got it and brought it here from South Korea all by myself.

Hey, you are being too contrived. Don't film it like that.

- You are not like that.
- Why?

- You gained so much weight.
- Me?

Look at this.

With two monitors, showing off that you are a software developer.

What do you even know?

You are just an Youtuber.

Just an Youtuber?

This is so cool. You should show me how you work.

- If I work at Google...
- Yea.

- I'll invite you to the campus...
- You should!

When are you going to join Google?

I screwed up my Google interview,

so I am banned to do the Google interview for 6 months.

What? That's so funny.

I saw tents on the way here.

I just saw them with the video, and I was so shocked by seeing homeless people's tents in reality.

I don't often take those roads.

It was scary.

If the car stops,

they come and wipe the windows.

So they can get money?

They carry guns...

So scary.

Let's go eat. Is IN-N'-OUT near here?

We can just go to the one that's near our place.

I don't know. Just go where you want to go.

I have no plan.

Go where you want to go.

Shout it off.

- You can turn it off when we are on the way.
- Ok.

Oh, you've got Lexus.

Please take the car out.

Get in!

- You're not taking the car out for me?
- Get in the car!

- I had IN-N'-OUT for the first several days ago.
- You did?

I had it.

- Then...
- But I want to have it again.

Or you do wanna go

Cheesecake Factory?

I don't like Cheesecakes.

It's not just for cheesecakes.

Is that place near here?

The Hollywood sign?

Hollywood?

- You can see the Hollywood sign here.
- Really?

Do you want to go Hollywood?

No. I'll just film the Hollywood sign.

I've been there in the past.

The goal of this trip is

not like, "I'm visiting tour sites."

- I just wanna...
- Really, then...

- Do you want to visit my favorite cafe?
- I like that.

To be honest, we wouldn't be this close

if we didn't take that marketing course and

that club activity.

Because your personality is terrible.

Terrible?

But honestly,

But how come?

Why did we get so close?

To be honest, Minju Jung from the Marketing class?

Two of you bullied me.

Minju Jung?

Are you talking about Dahye Park?

No. When we were taking Consumer class,

two of you...

had tests for the class and didn't share them with me.

You get off here.

But one day, you came to my house.

Yes, I remember.

- I think you came after you broke up.
- Yea.

So I slept over at your house.

- Yea, so sudden.
- But it's not because I broke up.

I lived in a quad room.

American people...

drank everyday and

not sleeping until 3 a.m.

So I couldn't sleep.

That's why I went.

I had the place to go before.

- And not anymore.
- You didn't have the place...

But were we close that time?

Why did you come to my house?

We were taking the same class at that time.

Oh, that's why.

We took Marketing class together, and

we did that weird club activity.

I don't contact others except you.

I...

I started YouTube and stopped contacting others.

I feel kind of awkward.

It's a shame that I stopped contacting them. I kind of want to...

But you don't just contact others.

Why are you pretending you are not doing it because of YouTube.

What are you talking about?

You weren't gonna contact me anyways but

you just contact me while you are in LA.

I brought Aespa's album from South Korea!

Right. I contacted you because I needed it.

You sent me KaTalk message,

how are you doing with your packing?

Don't forget Asepa Album.

Cause I have to pay for it.

You don't need to.

- Why?
- It didn't cost that much.

Wow, 500K YouTuber is different.

Is there any news that I don't know?

- Unknown news?
- Yea.

You've been in the States, so you might know more than me.

SunHyeon!

- SeongHyeon?
- SunHyeon.

I don't know.

- Do you know Ki-Hoon?
- I have a no idea.

How come you know Accounting people?

Did you major in accounting?
- I was SOM.

What a load of SOM nonsense.

Such BS.

You were in accounting?

No, not accounting. I was in marketing.

But they were all accounting majors.

Still though...

I was originally in accounting.

Finance 311 and

Principles of Accounting or something. Those were required courses back then.

Right?

Is that how you guys got close?

Wait, is that person homeless? Whoa.

What if he asks for money because we filmed him...?

Nah, just say we're filming ourselves.

See? He knows we're filming and he's standing in front of you on purpose.

This place is kinda scary.

You have to be careful.

No, I was...

I was over there...

I was at the other side, by Cypress.

- It felt so peaceful there.
- Cypress?

Cypress was so chill and really nice.

It seriously felt like the America I used to live in.

Why is it so lawless here...?

But it's gotten worse since COVID-19.

For real?

Lots of people got laid off too.

This honestly isn’t the America I imagined.

I mean, that dreamy, drama-like version of America you think of

doesn't exist anymore.

I miss the old days.

- We're going in here, right?
- Yeah.

I've never been given such a big table before.

They always gave us those tiny ones for two people.

You know why?

- Because I'm here.
- Because I am here.

Because I’m here.

Did they recognize you?

Of course.

This is wild.

Looks so good!

Look at him eating all self-conscious like that.

No I wasn’t!

He was like “ugh” and eating like a beast, and the moment the camera turned on...

You know how to eat, right?

An Apple store in America.

It’s an Apple store!

Don’t I look so good with the AirPods Max?

I want a pair so bad.

Buy it.

I’m literally giving AirPods Max vibe just walking around.

No you don't.

They’re so pretty, aren’t they?

- Come again? What?
- Walk of Fame.

- This is the start of the Walk of Fame?
- Yep.

- Those star things on the ground, that’s it?
- Yeah.

Big butt!

This is an intro material.

This is coming out so good.

Come here.

Don’t act.

My handsome face almost made it on camera.

Better if you just didn’t talk.

I’m so happy.

Where do we go?

Just keep going.

Straight.

Donald Duck.

You showing my face...

I won’t show it, I won’t.

I see Hollywood!

I see it, I see it!

There it is, over there. Hollywood!

You can see it over there.

Hollywood.

Saw Hollywood.

The weather’s amazing!

Since you came back from Korea, it must feel extra nice.

But since you live here, you don’t even notice how nice the weather is, right?

I know it’s nice.

But it’s always nice, so it’s kinda whatever now.

- This is it, right?
- Yeah.

Let’s see if we got a ticket.

Boogers?

Why would it be boogers?

Thanks for the ice cream.

I filmed a vlog here too once.

Here?

What did you do with that video?

I didn't upload it.

Why?

I can't be bothered.

This ice cream is as big as my face.

No.

Your face is bigger.

They give too little here.

But it's good.

Do you know how much this is?

Yours and mine together?

20 dollars.

26,000 won.

It's crazy.

This is so yum.

What?

What is it?

Just keep doing it.

What's wrong?

Just do it.

You've never seen me filming a vlog?

I'm not doing this.

Gooey butter is so good.

What?

I'm not doing this.

Okay, do your thing.

I won't laugh.

Tell me something funny.

So, what happened

while I was gone?

When did you go?

I went to Yonsei University in my last semester.

You stayed in America longer than me.

You should hear more news here.

After you left

Hyejin, Jimin, and I

got together sometimes.

Did accounting friends get into accounting companies?

Everyone has it made.

Jimin works in Samsung

and Hyejin went to Sobang.

What's Sobang?

SoftBank.

Then...

Actually,

I didn't hang out a lot.

Dahye Park was the last one I hung out with.

What about you?

I was close with Dahye Park and Sungjoon Song.

You weren't that close with Sungjoon.

We were so close.

I mean, you didn't see him every day.

- I did.
- Really?

We even worked out together.

We were kind of like soulmates.

You had a big fight with your soulmate?

He was a narrow-minded.

I don't even remember why you two fought.

It's been so long.

Let's go.

We have to tell

this number to the delivery man.

- Is it Uber Eats?
- Yeah.

I used it once in Japan.

- Really?
- Yeah. In Japan.

We're on our way to get the chicken we ordered.

How much is it?

Kyochon 16 pieces...

31 dollars?

And tteokbokki is...

Pickled radish?

You have to pay for pickled radish.

This is crazy.

Did you give a tip?

Yeah, or they might spit in our food.

It's too hard living in a country where you have to tip.

The night in LA.

Two minutes left.

It's safe here.

The night in LA...

Hi, kid.

Hi, kid.

I've never ordered in from Kyochon in Korea.

Really?

Cheogajip!

Only Cheogajip.

I don't really like Cheogajip.

Why?

Because it's sweet?

Not my style... Yeah, it's too sweet.

I don't like sweet food.

Oh, that's why you don't like me.

I'm sweet.

What is he saying?

Let's go eat.

What?

Wait.

Don't you have to take out the food first?

Kyochon.

It's 30 dollars.

This is 50,000 won.

But the servings is similar

to the ones in Korea.

Yeah, it's similar.

This tteokbokki is nine dollars.

Servings of Tteokbokki are...

so little.

Bon appetit.

Bon appetit.

You know

American chickens are big.

It sure is big.

Is it good?

I need a plate, too.

Do you have disposable gloves?

Gunfire.

No way.

Fireworks.

It's possible in America.
