It is :) And yeah, it does, turning the ondol on during winter is definitely necessary but because I have a floor below and above me, I stay pretty insulated!
I always look forward to your vids. Could you do a "What to wear in Korea" video or similar?? I applied to Epik and I'm already thinking about packing lol
This was filmed really well, i have to applaud you. It was so smooth. Usually room/house tours make me sick because the person filming shakes the camera too much. You on the other hand did very well. Thank you for giving us a peek at your home, especially because i want to live in Korea
I always look forward to your vids!! Could you do a "What to wear in Korea" video or similar?? Trying to be practical with bringing clothes but don't want to neglect my love of fashion lol
Your apartment looks so cool. (I kinda had an idea what it would look like. Result of watching too many Korean dramas) It's my dream to travel and live there forever.
I love your affirmations on your mirror,.I paused the video to read them.You keep seeking Him(Jesus Christ ).You have encouraged me. Thank you for sharing.
There definitely are churches available , but you have to look. If you are Seventh Day Adventist or open to visiting another denomination, try checking out the SDA Language Institute in the area near you. The schools generally have services on Saturdays.
I am SO HAPPY that I have stumbled upon your channel 💜 I was first introduced through your Christian blog and happened to pick up the fact that you had previously been to Korea .👏🏽👏🏽 I am a former teacher with 25+ yrs of experience from which I have taken a “break” [only God knows His plans for me whether I return or not] to focus on my health since Covid. I actually became a part of the Ginormous “BTS ARMY “ during Covid and have NOT come out of the rabbit 🐇 🕳 hole I got stuck in!!! 😂🤣 I say as long as they are not leading me on a path to Hell, then I am going to continue to enjoy my journey with them and ride this HALLYU of music, fashion, culture; food, K-dramas [Yep, I’m STUCK in that hole as well 😜😅], and MORE… I Live in Tulsa, OKlahoma (USA , for foreigners watching and reading who may be unfamiliar) with my 13 years old daughter who is currently in Tulsa’s FIRST EVER K-pop dance group: “Synergi Dance Crew💜” 🤩👏🏽🤗😎🤩 God has opened a door I could NEVER imagine having gone through so I am cautiously being open and watchful for direction. I also have an older daughter (age 29) who followed in my footsteps as well and teaches at Tulsa’s first Public Montessori school . My oldest and only son (31) is a coordinator for a program for teen fathers in the school district. So we are ALL educators🙌🏾😇🙏🏾 (didn’t anticipate giving you my life story 🤪) “IN-Ti-wayyyy!! (anyways) …. Like I said, Im happy I stumbled upon you and found a WEALTH OF HELPFUL INFORMATION about Korea from your actual EXPERIENCE 😍🤩😎 I look forward to seeing the journey you captured along the way! 👏🏽👏🏽 You are bright, CHEERFUL, precise, insightful, knowledgeable, PASSIONATE, and MORE when it comes to sharing these videos with others and I hope they CONTINUE to enlighten others. I am currently trying to learn Korean via the “TEUIDA” free App that is 😮VERY INTERACTIVE and fun to use. I’m hoping to visit and possibly live at least 6mos -a year in Seoul or nearby before deciding to be Marian (on the move like you). My youngest and I have watched as many videos as possible about what life would be like as a black person there; but to have insight from someone who is following after Christ helps us further build a SOLID foundation built upon our CORNERSTONE(Jesus). I LUV that you gave this tour of the apartment from the entry all the way to the bathroom (and everything between) because I was DEFINITELY CURIOUS as to the details. Other have just briefly shown where they live but NOT as detailed of a tour; KUDOS 👏🏽👏🏽 QUESTION: THAT 🚿 SHOWER!!! THE WHOLE BATHROOM IS THE SHOWER AREA??? Floor and ALL w/ NO SEPARATE CORNERED AREA!!!??? (If it’s what it looked like (( and I thought I heard you say everything gets wet)) that would mean the toilet 🚽 AND THE SINK as well would be soaked! AM I GETTING THIS INFO CORRECTLY? Okay, ‘enuf ‘ for now 😝😇😁 GOD BLESS & THANK YOU 🙏🏾 Marian “NOT the Librarian 🙂”
This is the first vid I've watched on your channel. I have been researching Korea and how to teach there and I can't wait to watch the other videos!! God bless from North Carolina!!!
Seriously the most random things are high tech, and then you still hang up your washing 😂 The bathroom is exactly like that I see in Cameroonian homes~ The detachable shower head and EVERYTHING gets wet.. I wish they had that in America.
Seeing this video (aside from getting more insight of housing in Korea) has made me want to storage all of my collectibles I've invested in, and live with only the necessities. I live with my pets in my fully (if not overly ) furnished two bedroom apartment in the US. I can't stand having so much stuff. If anything's not in place, I would so easily be able to find it. Nothing would look/be cluttered, I would save more money if I don't have the capacity to buy more to keep with me. I've enjoyed some ganja and when I open my eyes to new things in life, it's an amazing experience.
This video was so insightful! thank you so much for posting it! I'm researching teaching English in Korea. You are so positive in all your videos and make me feel more comfortable pursuing going abroad. :)
What is the security like? And does your personal door have a lock? What are the stores like regarding grocery shopping for food. I watched your grilled cheese video, and while I love Pho I'd like the option to make a grilled cheese or veggie burger. lol. Is that possible there? Your videos have me thinking about this EPIK program.
Do you go out to eat a lot since you said you don't really cook at home? I always hear and see youtubers saying things like that and a lot of youtubers go to multiple cafes in one video so I was wondering if it was expensive to eat out a lot over there?
Yep, the way it works out, eating out isn't that expensive in general and also bc most meals are communal so you split the cost 2 or 3 ways which makes it even cheaper.
Love your personality! Thanks for sharing your apt. I'm looking to teach in Korea so this was super helpful on seeing which types of adjustments I'll have to make from my US living. Abundant Peace and Love
For no reason at all I got hype as fuck seeing Cantu and Shea Moisture in your bathroom cabinet. Anyway, is it difficult to shower in the bathroom? Knowing me, I'd probably get water just about everywhere.
Mel on the Move I was discussing this with my younger cousin snd she suggested getting a shower curtain. I think it would definitely help to shield everything from getting totally wet.
Just found your channel, and can I just say that I love you and your channel already? I’m part Korean and I live in the US, but I’m obsessed with everything Korean? I so want to go and live there one day! I just need to become fluent in Korean, and get a job once I’m done with school, and blah blah blah...(insert adult stuff)
Omg, you're from Orlando too?? Also, I love your apartment. It's simple and cute. I plan on teaching in Korea after college, so I love watching videos like this. Now subscribed!
Absolutely loooove your videos!! Literally binge watching. I'm on my way to Korea from South Africa end of this month. So excited after watching all your vids! Might I ask what you paid for your apartment monthly?
Do you that southern area ( 경상복도) is rich part of South Korea. Busan, Ulsan, that areas are nice. One thing keep in mind. You are staying in strong regional South Korea. Take pride in own accent, culture, food, region. Very different from Seoul or other areas in South Korea. Love East Sea. Apartment is nice.
So I know that EPIK chooses your house/where you live but what if you want to move houses? Does EPIK automatically pay for that house? What's the process of moving houses?
Oh! You're from Orlando? I too am also from Orlando and am thinking about moving to Korea as well some day! I've actually been watching lots of these kinds of Korean videos to get a better sense of how it will be like when I move there or decide to visit there, it seems very cool and interesting and I always wanted to immerse myself in a culture that isn't mine.
Enjoyed your video! I'm going to Korea in February. I saw your suitcases, and I was wondering, how many suitcases did you bring with you initially to Korea? Was it enough to bring everything you needed or did you have to leave a lot of stuff at home?
Mel on the Move Wow, really?! I'm trying to pre-plan my packing and I'm nervous everything I want to bring won't fit in 2 suitcases. But that's good to hear that you had plenty of room! I'll just have to keep that in mind. Thanks!! Would you by any chance be willing to do a 'What to pack' video? Maybe of the stuff that you brought that you really needed, stuff you didn't need, and stuff you wish you'd brought? Thanks again! Always enjoy your videos :)
was that a random potatoes on top of your shoe cabinet? hahaha great tour video though, loved it. I find the studio apartments pretty neat and simple for one person to live in
bruh the outside and staircase look so familiar to my friend's apartment when she was living in korea! O.o update: i read the description. HO BRAHH!! I know where this is. im sorry if i seem like a creep.
When she shows the bathroom, she says everything's going to get all wet! Shit. I'm outta there. I'm not going to get used to that. I would have to find my own place and pay like 1 million won or more per month, that's like half the salary. You get what you pay for!
Hey Mel , how did you get to move apartments? Mine is so tiny and it’s covered with yellow stains. I’m disgusted. Idk if my school would allow that. How’d the discussion come about?
Disregard the security and door lock questions had not pressed play yet. lol. Still curious about the grocery store. I've been to some korean stores in the states and know that they definitely have Culturally centric foods. :-)
I love watching your videos, makes we wanna visit. not move there yet but visit. BTW how is the language gap. i know most speak English but for those that don't, how does that go for you.
How did you apply for the EPIK program? Was the application process difficult? Can you give me the link to a website you used to apply? Please and thank you! love your videos!
Orlando represent! Whoop Whoop! I would kill for a door lock like that girl trust me, these apartments in winter park or orlando aint doing it for me lol
Okay I apologize if this question sounds silly, but I just want to double check if okay? You actually DO where the shower shoes while you shower, right? They're not just called that since you're "in the shower room" or anything like that, right? Again sorry for the silly question :) Oh and also do they allow animals at all in your apartment/most apartments?:)
SARAH ISA I read that the requirements are being a native teacher and having experience teaching (more than 2 years) and having a degree (any degree). i'm in your same situation, even I'm not in college yet I have a certificate of English auxiliar teacher and I can teach in my country but I don't know in Korea because my first language is Spanish :(
Nope, I've seen the requirements and asked an American teacher from my high school who taught and both say even you have a degree you must have experience in teaching for at least 2 years.
hi! I'm not sure when you're coming back to the states (if you are), but one of my biggest concerns about going to teach in Korea is not knowing what to do or not finding a good job when I come back to the states. Do you have any ideas for work when you come back?
Hi Mel, I'm assuming because you have a Bible and devotional that you are a Christian... so, I'm wondering how do you find time to read it and is there a church that you attend in Korea? Like how do you keep your faith life when living in a whole different country?
yes, I am! I usually use the last hour of my day to journal and read my devotional and Bible. I used to attend a church here but they sadly stopped offering their English service (the pastor moved back to America) so this year, I haven't. My faith has actually grown tremendously since being here. It's a long story but I talk all about it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/3OY5RKvjxg8/v-deo.html (starts at 8:10 mark)

ok thank u so much.

It's not fun when those batteries die.
i like how small the apartments are. looks homey to me.
does it get cold in your apartment?
It is :) And yeah, it does, turning the ondol on during winter is definitely necessary but because I have a floor below and above me, I stay pretty insulated!
Mel on the Move lucky you.
i'm curious. have u ever tried watching korean dramas/movies. i mean u live there.. u got a tv. a beautiful one at that 😌
lol honestly, I've only turned it on like once but I've watched some here and there with friends but I've never gotten into any.
Mel on the Move well, that's too bad. i don't know if you like thrillers, but if you ever have time. try watching korean movie: I saw the devil.
I have no excuse, I love studio type places because I am LAZY. Cleaning is minimal and arranging is also minimal.
This is such a great video! I'm moving to Korea in March to teach for EPIK so I love seeing what the apartments will look like!
Glad you enjoyed!
What is EPIK?
I always look forward to your vids. Could you do a "What to wear in Korea" video or similar?? I applied to Epik and I'm already thinking about packing lol
Kimberly Scott Did you get accepted!?
Very admirable how humble she is, lessons to learn here.
This was filmed really well, i have to applaud you. It was so smooth. Usually room/house tours make me sick because the person filming shakes the camera too much. You on the other hand did very well. Thank you for giving us a peek at your home, especially because i want to live in Korea
isn't happiness the best thing in life. you are leaving it. you go girl !

They're so inspiring!
I really hope you answer. Have you found a church in Korea? It's the one thing no one seems to speak about.
There definitely are churches available , but you have to look. If you are Seventh Day Adventist or open to visiting another denomination, try checking out the SDA Language Institute in the area near you. The schools generally have services on Saturdays.

i love your positivity! it's so amazing
:) thank you!
wow you are so awesome! i discovered your channel today and you gained a new subscriber 💕 love from Uruguay 🙆😙

hehe yep!

i like how the shower is literally the whole bathroom.
i was wondering why there was a drain in the middle of the floor lol
I saw you on Jessica's video and right after watching it, I came to your page! You're sooooo funny!!
aw thank you!!
It looks great for one person I hope to go to Korea someday even if it's not to teach. Thanks for the video Mel!
Yeah it's the perfect amount of space honestly! Thanks for watching :)
homes here in the uae are big but Korean apartments look cozy because everything is small and neat
Your place looks so cozy. Is it well insulated? My old place had crappy insulation.
For no reason at all I got hype as fuck seeing Cantu and Shea Moisture in your bathroom cabinet. Anyway, is it difficult to shower in the bathroom? Knowing me, I'd probably get water just about everywhere.
haha! Water does go everywhereeee - no way to avoid it but you get used to it
Mel on the Move I was discussing this with my younger cousin snd she suggested getting a shower curtain. I think it would definitely help to shield everything from getting totally wet.
Dorchena Brewer e
I would just be scared that I wet my toilet paper 😭😭😭
Every time she says hello and waves her hand I expect her to say anyonghasaiyo
khadija Elmasri me too lol but im glad she doesn’t
Your apartments nice! I live in Korea too.
Love it! Thank you for sharing!
:) Thank you!
i love korea, my best friend is from there and he is teaching me korean.
oh cool!
lol question..since youre natural..do you have to order your hair products online or do they sell those brands in korea? x
Just found your channel, and can I just say that I love you and your channel already?
I’m part Korean and I live in the US, but I’m obsessed with everything Korean? I so want to go and live there one day!
I just need to become fluent in Korean, and get a job once I’m done with school, and blah blah blah...(insert adult stuff)
I just subscribed.. you're awesome!
I wonder how expensive apartments in general are there in Korea 🤔
Omg, you're from Orlando too?? Also, I love your apartment. It's simple and cute. I plan on teaching in Korea after college, so I love watching videos like this. Now subscribed!
yep, Orlando born and raised! & sweet, thank you!
I have a leafy green wallpaper in mine.,,,oh how much I hate it lol
haha! in typical Korean fashion. my purple flowers have grown on me lol took some time.
Absolutely loooove your videos!! Literally binge watching. I'm on my way to Korea from South Africa end of this month. So excited after watching all your vids! Might I ask what you paid for your apartment monthly?
woo woo, thanks awesome! my school paid for my apartment but I believe it was around 300,000-450,000 KRW a month
Theres another youtuber who receives 900,000 krw per month for accommodation she was in Korea too..
I like the door very safe
Can u talk about the schooling system in South Korea? like how the grades are and what schools for which grades and typical ages for each grade
Do you that southern area ( 경상복도) is rich part of South Korea. Busan, Ulsan, that areas are nice. One thing keep in mind. You are staying in strong regional South Korea. Take pride in own accent, culture, food, region. Very different from Seoul or other areas in South Korea. Love East Sea. Apartment is nice.
Your place is so cute!! Do you think you could have two people in an apt this size??
I think it would be possible but it would be a tight squeeze. in my opinion its the perfect size for one!
Your apt is sooooo cute!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
So I know that EPIK chooses your house/where you live but what if you want to move houses? Does EPIK automatically pay for that house? What's the process of moving houses?
Did you have to buy all your slippers and bathroom slippers? Where did you buy them?
Oh! You're from Orlando? I too am also from Orlando and am thinking about moving to Korea as well some day! I've actually been watching lots of these kinds of Korean videos to get a better sense of how it will be like when I move there or decide to visit there, it seems very cool and interesting and I always wanted to immerse myself in a culture that isn't mine.
heyyy fellow Orlandian! that's awesome, if you're interested, you should definitely do it. It's been an amazing experience thus far!
Mel on the Move Im just scared job wise! Im gonna get an animation degree and idk how far I'll get... it's the only thing stopping me
Enjoyed your video!
I'm going to Korea in February. I saw your suitcases, and I was wondering, how many suitcases did you bring with you initially to Korea? Was it enough to bring everything you needed or did you have to leave a lot of stuff at home?
Thanks for watching! I brought 2 big suitcases and a carry on and honestly, I brought more clothes than I needed to lol.
Mel on the Move Wow, really?! I'm trying to pre-plan my packing and I'm nervous everything I want to bring won't fit in 2 suitcases. But that's good to hear that you had plenty of room! I'll just have to keep that in mind. Thanks!!
Would you by any chance be willing to do a 'What to pack' video? Maybe of the stuff that you brought that you really needed, stuff you didn't need, and stuff you wish you'd brought? Thanks again! Always enjoy your videos :)
was that a random potatoes on top of your shoe cabinet? hahaha great tour video though, loved it. I find the studio apartments pretty neat and simple for one person to live in
Are the apartments that they provide for you furnished? Like do they come with the kitchen supplies and all that?
No, they don't. They only come with a fridge and washer machine and your school is required to provide you with a bed, table, chair, and TV.
Wow i loove your place!!! Its so cool!!❤❤❤
thanks!
ur realy tidy 😊😊😊
ooh, thank you!
What teaching program are you in and what’s the process?? Great video!!
I liked your apartment!! Although it has no Windows, All the apartments in Korea are like this?
Most are! the windows are considered the slide glass doors to the porch.
Reminds me exactly of the apartment I lived in in Cheongju. I too picked my second apartment :D
bruh the outside and staircase look so familiar to my friend's apartment when she was living in korea! O.o
update: i read the description. HO BRAHH!! I know where this is. im sorry if i seem like a creep.
really?! lol there's only like 20 foreigners in my town - what's your friends name?
Joanna but she isn't living there at the moment. She was going to Korea University
Zaaaaaam shawty, I might be moving to the wrong country! Lol
SN, I let out the biggest "Lets Go!" when I saw that Orlando magnet. #407
very inspiration
ayee represent orlando !! p.s. your vision board really inspired me
go magic!! haha except not really bc we suck but it's okay.
i know righht? smhh
It's larger than I thought! Nice!
Very efficient living. Everything that you need, but that pink wallpaper.....
When she shows the bathroom, she says everything's going to get all wet! Shit. I'm outta there. I'm not going to get used to that. I would have to find my own place and pay like 1 million won or more per month, that's like half the salary. You get what you pay for!
I'm from Orlando, too!
orlando represent!
You are so beautiful omg
aw thank you!
What a cute apartment. It looks real cosy! ^_^
thank you!
You are so gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!! Super jealous of your amazing hair game girl :D
thank you :)
I'm from Orlando, too :) And I want to move to Korea after I graduate from UCF :)
your apartment is like mine, its messy. also i did everything at my desk. eat , study, makeup, watch movie and stuff.. lol.
omg its so cuteeee but the bathroom/shower was super weird to me since I'm american hahahaa!! love ur vids so much!! ily :)
what happened to that sound music thingy that comes before "you already know" at 0:19.... i miss it :((
haha omg I didn't think anyone would notice. I've been contemplating if I should keep doing it or not!
Mel on the Move i legit jam to it whenever it comes on haha :D
Did the apartment come furnished with dishes as well?
hey mel could you do a video talking about what you brought/didn't bring to korea when you moved?
great idea :) definitely!
Hey Mel , how did you get to move apartments? Mine is so tiny and it’s covered with yellow stains. I’m disgusted. Idk if my school would allow that. How’d the discussion come about?
Hi! New subbie, love your vids, very entertaining and fun to watch! 💕
:) thank you!!
Omg, the bathroom is the shower that's so different.
How much won did you give for one month 🤔 I think it's quite expensive 🧐
when she showed the keypad did anyone else think of Mystic messenger? lol
Disregard the security and door lock questions had not pressed play yet. lol. Still curious about the grocery store. I've been to some korean stores in the states and know that they definitely have Culturally centric foods. :-)
I love watching your videos, makes we wanna visit. not move there yet but visit. BTW how is the language gap. i know most speak English but for those that don't, how does that go for you.
Jealous! You get everything for free, lucky you
You apartment is super cute btw!!!
it is an amazing set up- I can't lie! thank you!
how much pay for a month???
Can you post a still video of that bathroom cabinet. I would like to try to make one
How did you apply for the EPIK program? Was the application process difficult? Can you give me the link to a website you used to apply? Please and thank you! love your videos!
you can find the website online. Apply is tedious but not difficult
might be a silly question, but are training facilities easily accessible? are there gym's nearby?
You're so pretty
Ur apartment is so cute I wanna know how much it cost
Orlando represent! Whoop Whoop! I would kill for a door lock like that girl trust me, these apartments in winter park or orlando aint doing it for me lol
You use Aussie?!? I swear by it. It's wonderful!
Okay I apologize if this question sounds silly, but I just want to double check if okay? You actually DO where the shower shoes while you shower, right? They're not just called that since you're "in the shower room" or anything like that, right? Again sorry for the silly question :) Oh and also do they allow animals at all in your apartment/most apartments?:)
lol! not a silly question at all. Yep, I actually wear them. & I'm not sure about the animals - sorry!
+Mel on the Move okay good to know, and don't worry about it, thank you anyway though! Your apartment is beautiful 😊
i'm Arabic but I hold a bachelor's degree in English literature so can i apply for the EPIK?
SARAH ISA I read that the requirements are being a native teacher and having experience teaching (more than 2 years) and having a degree (any degree).
i'm in your same situation, even I'm not in college yet I have a certificate of English auxiliar teacher and I can teach in my country but I don't know in Korea because my first language is Spanish :(
yeah but it's optional and not necessary as long as you have the degree. I'm concerned about the nationalities that they ask for :(.
Then the only thing you need is having a master in teaching ans having 2 years of experience teaching
no i think they just want a bachelor degree
Nope, I've seen the requirements and asked an American teacher from my high school who taught and both say even you have a degree you must have experience in teaching for at least 2 years.
I was wondering apartment but god you're beautiful *^*
Interesting seeing your apartment .😊
hi! I'm not sure when you're coming back to the states (if you are), but one of my biggest concerns about going to teach in Korea is not knowing what to do or not finding a good job when I come back to the states. Do you have any ideas for work when you come back?
hey! umm honestly, can't help you too much with that i'm still figuring it out!
Hi Mel, I'm assuming because you have a Bible and devotional that you are a Christian... so, I'm wondering how do you find time to read it and is there a church that you attend in Korea? Like how do you keep your faith life when living in a whole different country?
yes, I am! I usually use the last hour of my day to journal and read my devotional and Bible. I used to attend a church here but they sadly stopped offering their English service (the pastor moved back to America) so this year, I haven't. My faith has actually grown tremendously since being here. It's a long story but I talk all about it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/3OY5RKvjxg8/v-deo.html (starts at 8:10 mark)
thanks for answering! I'm a recent subscriber and I plan to teach abroad as soon as I finish my Bachelor's. Love your videos :)
Hey, I'm from Orlando and planning on teaching in Korea too!
Hey can I know where you find the apartment from? Like some app or website that you've use? :D
Random question, I saw your comment on tattoos, and I have a tattoo on my wrist.. do you think that would be a problem/stop me from getting the job??
No, but I'd suggest wearing a watch or bracelet while at school.
thanks! :)
