When she mentioned that everyone has an ice maker I was like not me I just use an ice tray and freeze the water. Then I realized I do have an ice maker I just never set it up for it to work lol.
This dude is a perfect example of something I find so quirky about most Asian languages. In that, the sound and pronunciation of their language severely changes the way their voice and personality sounds. Speaking Korean, he sounds like he has a much higher pitched voice and talks very fast and energetically. But when he speaks English, his voice drops very deep and he sounds much more calm and collected. I think this is most noticeable with Japanese, but it happens with Korean as well.
He probably isn’t even aware of how that makes him “come off” to people when switching languages. In Korean mode, I sense feminine (perhaps stereotypical gay?) vibes and then to calm deep masculine vibes going to English. …From the perspective of a cynical self-aware Asian American (apparently a rare thing to find, so I hear).
@@-A-c damn this explains why Namjoon sounds so damn sexy when talking in English. Like damn! He sounds good in Korean too, cuz his voice is *chef's kiss* but I swear his swagger ups like ten notches when he speaks English lol. An example of what I mean ua-cam.com/video/eXCRVoz2oss/v-deo.html
i was born and raised in the u.s. but my parents are both from south africa, and a lot of my family is spread out across the world, so i wasn't raised like the "classic" american. i ate different food and had different traditions, and we never really drank soda haha. i just realized how different my answers would have been from hers and i think that's a cool thing. there's a variety of people, climates, and cultures in the u.s. so to get a true perspective of life here you would really have to interview many people from many different walks of life.
Well said. Saying Americans don't use tea bags irked me.Everyone is different. Im born and raised in the US, use tea bags all the time, rarely eat hot cakes/ pan cakes , drink water everyday, no soda. We have different cultures and people bring and practice lots of different traditions here. Interviewing one person and giving the impression that's all Americans gives people a bad idea

Her answers were very limited or wrong, like ice makers, in general the information surrounding comics, and tea. She kind of portrayed it as if her perspective was the general when she should have focused on the wide range of diversity.
Some parts of the US drink a LOT of tea! Particularly from the deep south spanning all the way out to Texas, iced sweet black tea (though we just call it "sweet tea") is very popular and served everywhere, some like it with lemon as an addition. It's a symbol of southern hospitality and particularly popular among families of country western background like mine.🥤 From Oklahoma
Came here to say this too. Tea is very popular in the south. As someone who waited tables and worked in Sbux, people ordered tea a lot. Not as often as other drinks though. Less people drink soda than some might think, too.
Also an Oklahoman. From like 7th grade on, our cafeteria drink options for lunch were either milk, water, or iced tea. I mentioned that to a friend from somewhere else once and they thought that was the strangest thing.

I think it’s because compared to Korea, traffic laws are so different and not that enforced by police like America, when you’re here you will definitely see the difference.
She was so down to earth and portrayed a regular American so well! I loved this video and a guest I can relate to and would want to meet when I go to Korea next year. Lol
Thank you giggle for giving a chance to hear more of Kyojun's English. Definitely looking for more of it. BTW giggle should do one content where the cast answer fans questions on day. 😍
It's funny that she mentioned The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, I've been there. Both my uncle and nephew ate for free because they weigh more than 350lbs! Their burgers are called Bypass burgers, and they are huge! And if you don't finish all of your meal, the waitresses will spank you with a big wooden paddle if front of the entire restaurant! Only in America! 🤣🤣🤣
Perspective is everything in these videos. She does a decent job of giving a more broad overview, but viewers would be interested to know that there are a variety of different viewpoints on the questions asked. I also come from a military family, and soldiers do have a sort of reverence but it's pretty close to how they described the Korean culture.
Canadian english speaker here- Kyojun's english is fantastic he speaks english better than me and I only have one language, he sounds like a professor or newscaster with a very calming voice, very easy to listen to and understand. Like wow great voice.
I lived in Korea for nearly 6 1/2 years and think all these things are spot on. I'll bet it's been 20 years since I've been in a home here in the U.S. that didn't have an icemaker as part of their stand-up freezer/frig. And if they didn't have an ice maker, there was a separate place in the freezer section for a couple of ice cube trays.
@@keetopuffs Before I started living overseas, (2 years Holland, 6 years South Korea, 10 years Germany) I couldn't live without ice either. Now I only need it in restaurants and we have the ice maker in the freezer shut off and we store food there.
I'm from New York but I lived in California for 2 yrs. US is just so big that the culture is even different on a state to state basis. I Love tea and coffee and I don't drink soda. But that's prob cause I got older n more health conscious. I also hate Dr. Pepper and its not that popular in NY. Also Cali is warm all year round so ice is a must vs Korea and NY that has snow and cold winters. And there r police in corners catching traffic law breakers and jay walkers in Cali which was nuts to me cause in NY u could jay walk right in front of cops and they won't even look ur way.
That’s why a lot of US citizens don’t have passports because the US already has all the climates. You want to go to snowy mountains, got it. Beach,got it. Desert, got it. Got everything. It’s still so boring to stay in one country or state tho.
SoCal represent!! I live in Arizona now, in the capital city of Phoenix, and instead of fog and snow, we have occasional haboobs. Haboobs are huge dust storms, which we have during our summer monsoon season. They are not super common in general, but are well known in my state. In the 3 years I've lived here in AZ, I've experienced one big haboob. You get alerts on your phone warning you not to drive during the haboob because the visibility is so low. You have to pull over and wait for it to pass. Thankfully, I've never had to drive through one.
Poor Yumi. I would just pull out my phone and start browsing in that situation, or just nod and smile and pretend I know what the hell was happening lol. Having stayed in a foreign country, not understanding what people are saying is rough.
As they said in the beginning, it can really differ depending which part of the states you are from. I used to live in the north east of the states and from the south east as well. There are many differences for us, as well. It's really cool to see the differences from the west and east coast as well as from Korea. A great mix and really enjoyed the video! As far as the tea thing, in the south we drink a lot of tea. When it comes to sodas its either coke, sprite or dr pepper. Especially, coke. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was actually about to skip the sponsor part when Yumi said to stay so I did ~ that actually seems like a cool service. Yumi is so cute, I love that she still reacted and engaged as she could even without fully understanding what they were saying ~ I would be lost but she still made it more fun. I enjoyed hearing about these cultural differences and enjoyed Tanaya's explanation of pedestrian culture in Korea, I hadn't heard of that. It's cool that while Yumi hopes to visit the US, I live in the US and hope to visit Korea some day
His English is excellent, sounds like a 2nd generation American. BTW 1st generation American is when someone comes to American and doesn't speak English or does but has a thick accent, 2nd generation usually pick up a slight assent from the parents but sounds more "American", 3rd generation you can't usually tell deference. BTW when I say "sounds more American" I mean sounds like the way they talk in the part of the US they are from because we also have varied accents depending on where you go
I think she is talking about Heart Attack Burger at 8:07 where the staff dresses as nurses and bring your food out on a stretcher I heard about it too back in the day and that the owner died of a heart attack from eating his own food I have no idea what kinda loopholes that place found to be legal here But is that Gianna Michaels at 8:11? Lol
@Lady Suisho and Felidae Is that place still in business? This was over a decade ago when I found out and I thought no way this place is gonna be around for long at the time
@@FAMCHAMP aha yeah it's pretty wild, the owner is an old dietitian who got fed up about people not listening to his advice and made the place as a big fu to everyone 🤡
Watching this I’m disagreeing with a lot that she says! Maybe this should just be about cultural differences with California… but when I lived out there I didn’t have an ice maker in my house.
If things she said don't apply in your personal life, then you're the exception. In general, American refrigerators do have ice makers, and Korean fridges don't. This is a true, general statement. Of course it's not 100% going to apply to every single refrigerator. That would be unreasonable.
@@gladitsnotme I think this is a class thing tbh. I grew up working class and had ice trays growing up, the kind you manually fill with water and stick in the freezer, but I only saw ice makers at wealthier families' houses.
Or it should be about national differences, and recognize that what you experienced was an economic difference because any house or high end apartment will have an ice maker in the refrigerator built in and if lower class then just ice trays in the freezer.
As someone from the east coast, we consume tons of tea. Hot tea like Chamomile is my favorite and then sweet southern black tea on ice. My main consumption of liquid is sweet tea!
I enjoyed watching this video it’s always delightful to see and learn our cultural differences. However I have to say we Americans don’t DO the same things, I HATE soda 🥤 and drink tea 🍵 often and YES I use tea bags. Just keep in mind we’re not a monolith, we’re vast in our interests and beliefs, we’re all individuals. Thank you giggle 🤭 for an awesome video.
Same I LOVE Tea I can’t drink a lot of sodas (watching my Bgl even tho I’m not a diabetic) And anyways all I like about sodas is the carbonation so I drink sparkling water:) (and yes I am a Californian And From so cal)
Yeah but I’m Southern California In&Out and other mainstay fast food restaurants sell an insane amount of soda and America didn’t get obese from tea so you’re in the minority.

Went to get the surfshark deal and unfortunately what they dont mention is that while there is a significant deal and three free months, you still have to PAY 50 something USD up front. And while that isn't a whole lot of money considering, it's still a big chunk for some people. Was really excited too :( Great video though, keep it up giggle! Much love from America 💖💖💖
Yumi looks frikking adorable in that outfit. And her eyes 😍 I lowkey felt sorry for her tho when they were speaking English because it looked like she was struggling to keep up with the conversation 😅
I usually like these videos but I found this one to be really hard to watch. Your guest is from a very specific place in the US and she is answering for the entire country. Some of her answers were just dead wrong. And not everyone has an ice maker! Not everyone can afford it. Also the US drinks a TON of tea! There are whole retail stores in the us devoted to selling loose leaf tea. Next time please interview multiple Americans from all over the country OR interview an American who has lived in most of the country and experienced both poor and middle class living across the country. Sounds crazy hard to find but any army kid could help you out. When I get to Korea I will be happy to interview with you guys! I have lived all over the country, east coast, west coast, Midwest, and even Alaska. I have been poor and also enjoy middle class living now. I am a wealth of information and I won’t steer you wrong. Oh the stories I could tell 🤣
Plenty of people drink tea and use tea bags they are just in an older age bracket than her. Myself included ^_^ oh and I think here in California we drink a lot of Ice Tea. There are a lot of different flavors of Ice Tea.
That was a little confusing. I suspect something was either lost in translation or Tanaya is more of a coffee (or Dr. Pepper!) person. Plenty of people brew their own hot tea, either with tea bags or loose leaves or buy hot tea at Starbucks and the like. Plus there's sweet tea, which I'm sure most Koreans would not like given the excessive sweetness.
@@JoeSchumacher No, you're just tripping. England is known for tea, America for soda and maybe orange juice. That's a fact. That doesn't mean that British people don't drink soda and OJ, and it doesn't mean Americans don't drink tea. This video is about general trends.
It’s so fun that the guest is from the West Coast and the male host checks the vital East Coast box sufficiently. They were both great representatives and advocates for their differences and positions!
Yeah tea is definitely more common in the south, I forget that a lot of restaurants up north (maybe in the west too?) don’t even sell sweet tea as a drink option 😂
I had to pause really early in at 1:09 because it's so rare to hear people talking about where I live, I love New Hampshire, I was born here, raised in the south but moved back as a pre-teen and I just love that he got to see our state and yes I can verify that we do get a ton of snow lol not as much this year but last year it was actually past my waist lol
Wait his English is insanely good for only having lived there one year in 7th grade. Did he live in another English speaking country for a long time or something?
@@martthesling please check that why Iranian hate USA government. In UA-cam you can find this question's answer in western articles. I only can say USA never be good with iran😊 By the way, Iranians love Americans❤
@@pourya8188 Ignore this other idiot. As an American I want to say you guys are good people and it's a shame our governments can't get along. I hope someday it gets better.
It was good to distinguish some differences in So Cal vs New Hampshire at the beginning. Two experiences within the same country. BTW, there is some snow in southern California in a good year. This means you can go surfing in the morning, then ski/snowboard in the afternoon.
I'm a Korean American living in the South and tea is king in these parts, especially sweet tea, but it seems to be a very regional sort of thing. When I visited the Midwest for a friend's wedding, I was surprised that iced tea was not offered at any of the restaurants. Growing up, my mom regularly made Korean barley or roasted corn tea, but we rarely drank it hot...mostly because the South is already crazy hot (in fact, it is common to make sun tea here, which is where you put the tea in a glass container and leave it outside where the 98+ degree weather brews it for you) and humid. The Korean restaurants in Atlanta serve hot water and hot tea with meals though, an eye-opening experience for a friend I took there once.
Some people are saying the 🍵 thing isnt true bc they drink it. I think they were piggybacking off of what is common in restaurants/fast food rather than what we drink at home. Generally people order and are offered cold soda, water, juice not really something like a hot water/hot hibiscus tea before meals. For sure some people might ask for it, but keep in mind this is about general characteristics.
Great vid, love the hosts and Tanaya is so right! Also yesss I found using a VPN to be important, especially for watching netflix or when accessing my US bank from Korea!
Yes there are people in America that still appreciate tea bags. I'd say it's more on the *at home calm down* side of it. Usually people on the go that want high calorie to energize or whatever on the go there's always going to be soda.
I'm American my family and almost everyone I know drink hot tea often (almost daily excluding the summer months) Im from the East coast So that may be the difference.

I think it’s because compared to Korea, traffic laws are so different and not that enforced by police like America, when you’re here you will definitely see the difference.
@@pandapaxx1035 i think so too
She was so down to earth and portrayed a regular American so well! I loved this video and a guest I can relate to and would want to meet when I go to Korea next year. Lol
Definitely down to meet up 😁
Thank you giggle for giving a chance to hear more of Kyojun's English. Definitely looking for more of it.
BTW giggle should do one content where the cast answer fans questions on day. 😍
It's funny that she mentioned The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, I've been there. Both my uncle and nephew ate for free because they weigh more than 350lbs! Their burgers are called Bypass burgers, and they are huge! And if you don't finish all of your meal, the waitresses will spank you with a big wooden paddle if front of the entire restaurant! Only in America! 🤣🤣🤣
YAAAAAAY OBESITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh my..
Oh wow😂
In one yr he learned english wow.. I appreciate it✨😁👑💜
He is such a caring man.. At the end he asked to yumi.. Have u understood everything " aww🥺
Perspective is everything in these videos. She does a decent job of giving a more broad overview, but viewers would be interested to know that there are a variety of different viewpoints on the questions asked. I also come from a military family, and soldiers do have a sort of reverence but it's pretty close to how they described the Korean culture.
Canadian english speaker here- Kyojun's english is fantastic he speaks english better than me and I only have one language, he sounds like a professor or newscaster with a very calming voice, very easy to listen to and understand. Like wow great voice.
Kyojun is so good with English. I'm flustered. 😳😳💗💗
That moment at the 9:38 mark when my California girl reacts to the mention of Dr. Pepper was hilarious!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yumi is the best 💚💚💚 and kyonjun is underrated . Want many videos of them
I agree YUMI’S the best
I have never seen Yumi so quiet. The American should have spoken Korean.
@@Manic_Panic yeah I agree . Maybe it was difficult for her to understand and convey the things she want
Funny how Kyojun’s English speaking voice is lower and deeper… love it! 🤟🏼 Great video!
I lived in Korea for nearly 6 1/2 years and think all these things are spot on. I'll bet it's been 20 years since I've been in a home here in the U.S. that didn't have an icemaker as part of their stand-up freezer/frig. And if they didn't have an ice maker, there was a separate place in the freezer section for a couple of ice cube trays.
Lol as a pregnant American I can honestly say I NEED my ice. I've had entire fits in my house if the trash is empty 😆
@@keetopuffs Before I started living overseas, (2 years Holland, 6 years South Korea, 10 years Germany) I couldn't live without ice either. Now I only need it in restaurants and we have the ice maker in the freezer shut off and we store food there.
I'm from New York but I lived in California for 2 yrs. US is just so big that the culture is even different on a state to state basis. I Love tea and coffee and I don't drink soda. But that's prob cause I got older n more health conscious. I also hate Dr. Pepper and its not that popular in NY. Also Cali is warm all year round so ice is a must vs Korea and NY that has snow and cold winters. And there r police in corners catching traffic law breakers and jay walkers in Cali which was nuts to me cause in NY u could jay walk right in front of cops and they won't even look ur way.
Are you done lmao
I live in Queens, NY, NY and I see a good amount of people drink Dr. Pepper here, I myself do too.
That’s why a lot of US citizens don’t have passports because the US already has all the climates. You want to go to snowy mountains, got it. Beach,got it. Desert, got it. Got everything.
It’s still so boring to stay in one country or state tho.
@@gladitsnotme it’s almost like you didn’t have to read it
Even in California there are places that get a lot of snow like Lake Tahoe, so even the individual states have a lot of differences between areas.
This woman from cali is gorgeous!!!
Nice format. Loved the energy of everyone. Easy to watch and listen.
I love the guests vibe today she is so friendly
Thank you :D
I really love to hear Kyojun's voice..it's so calming and I can sleep to it. And then there's Yumi like firecracker. I love them both ❤️
SoCal represent!! I live in Arizona now, in the capital city of Phoenix, and instead of fog and snow, we have occasional haboobs. Haboobs are huge dust storms, which we have during our summer monsoon season. They are not super common in general, but are well known in my state. In the 3 years I've lived here in AZ, I've experienced one big haboob. You get alerts on your phone warning you not to drive during the haboob because the visibility is so low. You have to pull over and wait for it to pass. Thankfully, I've never had to drive through one.
Oooh, that's me! Thanks for having me on 😄
Ok but I’m so surprised at how good Kyojun’s English is like damn I had no idea he lived in the states 😆
And considering that he'd only lived there for a year too!!!
Tanaya: But why make fun of you? You're being kidnapped for 2 years!
Expecting a laugh...
Meanwhile Kyojun: Yeah, but like... XD
Poor Yumi. I would just pull out my phone and start browsing in that situation, or just nod and smile and pretend I know what the hell was happening lol. Having stayed in a foreign country, not understanding what people are saying is rough.
Omg! Seriously Yumi with that outfit. You’re killing me!
I line how he seamlessly switches between Korean and English…and sometimes speaks them mix together. Sounds super cool!
Kyojun’s English is so good!
As they said in the beginning, it can really differ depending which part of the states you are from. I used to live in the north east of the states and from the south east as well. There are many differences for us, as well. It's really cool to see the differences from the west and east coast as well as from Korea. A great mix and really enjoyed the video! As far as the tea thing, in the south we drink a lot of tea. When it comes to sodas its either coke, sprite or dr pepper. Especially, coke. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was actually about to skip the sponsor part when Yumi said to stay so I did ~ that actually seems like a cool service. Yumi is so cute, I love that she still reacted and engaged as she could even without fully understanding what they were saying ~ I would be lost but she still made it more fun. I enjoyed hearing about these cultural differences and enjoyed Tanaya's explanation of pedestrian culture in Korea, I hadn't heard of that. It's cool that while Yumi hopes to visit the US, I live in the US and hope to visit Korea some day
Kyojun's English is awesome.😌🙂
His English is excellent, sounds like a 2nd generation American. BTW 1st generation American is when someone comes to American and doesn't speak English or does but has a thick accent, 2nd generation usually pick up a slight assent from the parents but sounds more "American", 3rd generation you can't usually tell deference. BTW when I say "sounds more American" I mean sounds like the way they talk in the part of the US they are from because we also have varied accents depending on where you go
Doctor Pepper is a polarizing soda man- every time I say I can’t stand it I start a war.💀😂😂😂
I think she is talking about Heart Attack Burger at 8:07 where the staff dresses as nurses and bring your food out on a stretcher
I heard about it too back in the day and that the owner died of a heart attack from eating his own food
I have no idea what kinda loopholes that place found to be legal here
But is that Gianna Michaels at 8:11? Lol
@Lady Suisho and Felidae
Is that place still in business?
This was over a decade ago when I found out and I thought no way this place is gonna be around for long at the time
Not the owner but the unofficial spokesman
@@charlemony WOOWW
Smh
@@FAMCHAMP aha yeah it's pretty wild, the owner is an old dietitian who got fed up about people not listening to his advice and made the place as a big fu to everyone 🤡
@@charlemony lol wow
MERICA
Tanaya, thank you for representing west coast! The best coast. Much love from SoCal!
Watching this I’m disagreeing with a lot that she says! Maybe this should just be about cultural differences with California… but when I lived out there I didn’t have an ice maker in my house.
If things she said don't apply in your personal life, then you're the exception. In general, American refrigerators do have ice makers, and Korean fridges don't. This is a true, general statement. Of course it's not 100% going to apply to every single refrigerator. That would be unreasonable.
I think they mean like in refrigerator Ice maker
@@gladitsnotme I think this is a class thing tbh. I grew up working class and had ice trays growing up, the kind you manually fill with water and stick in the freezer, but I only saw ice makers at wealthier families' houses.
Or it should be about national differences, and recognize that what you experienced was an economic difference because any house or high end apartment will have an ice maker in the refrigerator built in and if lower class then just ice trays in the freezer.
As someone from the east coast, we consume tons of tea. Hot tea like Chamomile is my favorite and then sweet southern black tea on ice. My main consumption of liquid is sweet tea!
I enjoyed watching this video it’s always delightful to see and learn our cultural differences. However I have to say we Americans don’t DO the same things, I HATE soda 🥤 and drink tea 🍵 often and YES I use tea bags. Just keep in mind we’re not a monolith, we’re vast in our interests and beliefs, we’re all individuals. Thank you giggle 🤭 for an awesome video.
I’m a picky eater so I’m picky abt soda & I don’t have it alot. Even if I had unlimited access to soda I would barely drink any lol
Same I LOVE Tea I can’t drink a lot of sodas (watching my Bgl even tho I’m not a diabetic) And anyways all I like about sodas is the carbonation so I drink sparkling water:) (and yes I am a Californian And From so cal)
Yeah but I’m Southern California In&Out and other mainstay fast food restaurants sell an insane amount of soda and America didn’t get obese from tea so you’re in the minority.

Went to get the surfshark deal and unfortunately what they dont mention is that while there is a significant deal and three free months, you still have to PAY 50 something USD up front. And while that isn't a whole lot of money considering, it's still a big chunk for some people. Was really excited too :(
Great video though, keep it up giggle! Much love from America 💖💖💖
Yumi looks frikking adorable in that outfit. And her eyes 😍
I lowkey felt sorry for her tho when they were speaking English because it looked like she was struggling to keep up with the conversation 😅
America's gonna sue me but I literally had to search what Dr. pepper is💀😅
Great conversation, enjoyed
I usually like these videos but I found this one to be really hard to watch. Your guest is from a very specific place in the US and she is answering for the entire country. Some of her answers were just dead wrong. And not everyone has an ice maker! Not everyone can afford it. Also the US drinks a TON of tea! There are whole retail stores in the us devoted to selling loose leaf tea. Next time please interview multiple Americans from all over the country OR interview an American who has lived in most of the country and experienced both poor and middle class living across the country. Sounds crazy hard to find but any army kid could help you out. When I get to Korea I will be happy to interview with you guys! I have lived all over the country, east coast, west coast, Midwest, and even Alaska. I have been poor and also enjoy middle class living now. I am a wealth of information and I won’t steer you wrong. Oh the stories I could tell 🤣
I like her. She seems smart.
He stayed in the US for only one year but his English is so fluent. He must have kept practicing even after he came back to Korea.
Came to know abt Giggle.. And now.. Adddicteddddd!!
Plenty of people drink tea and use tea bags they are just in an older age bracket than her. Myself included ^_^ oh and I think here in California we drink a lot of Ice Tea. There are a lot of different flavors of Ice Tea.
In 2020 soda or similar carbonated drinks were in the top 3 of more consumed drinks; tea being the 7th.
That was a little confusing. I suspect something was either lost in translation or Tanaya is more of a coffee (or Dr. Pepper!) person. Plenty of people brew their own hot tea, either with tea bags or loose leaves or buy hot tea at Starbucks and the like. Plus there's sweet tea, which I'm sure most Koreans would not like given the excessive sweetness.
@@qisamuar2370 i drink a lot of tea and i’m 15 so 😭
@@JoeSchumacher No, you're just tripping.
England is known for tea, America for soda and maybe orange juice. That's a fact. That doesn't mean that British people don't drink soda and OJ, and it doesn't mean Americans don't drink tea. This video is about general trends.
I was thinking she's so So Cal...Berkeley and SF for instance people drink a lot of tea
I liked kyojuns look from when he lived in America typical rocker look from that time
I love your contents....love from South Africa🥰🥰🥰
Me drinking doctor pepper while watching the video🤣🤣🤣
Oh I like her!!! She seems smart.
Kyojun voice gets deeper in english and im all here for it !
It’s so fun that the guest is from the West Coast and the male host checks the vital East Coast box sufficiently. They were both great representatives and advocates for their differences and positions!
Wow she didn't embarrass me as a American. Good job California girl ty 😊 🙏 👏 ❤️
I like Kyojun. He has a good heart.
This was good. Please introduce them to a southern American.
the Dr. Pepper part is so true 😂
i love Dr. Pepper!
Omg I’m from Vermont! We do get lots of snow in New England 😂
The guy has a pretty good American accent.
me watching this and drinking a dr pepper...😶🌫️😶🌫️
My household uses teabags; brewing all types of tea. I feel like thats very normal for the south too.
Yeah tea is definitely more common in the south, I forget that a lot of restaurants up north (maybe in the west too?) don’t even sell sweet tea as a drink option 😂
@@LifeFilmz sounds about right.
Lol no options for sweet tea. Southerners aren't gonna like that! Haha
Kyojun, the reply for "West coast, best coast!" is "There is East coast or LEAST coast!" Lol
I like the innocent or reserved outfit of yumi here it suits her. She's pretty!
I had to pause really early in at 1:09 because it's so rare to hear people talking about where I live, I love New Hampshire, I was born here, raised in the south but moved back as a pre-teen and I just love that he got to see our state and yes I can verify that we do get a ton of snow lol not as much this year but last year it was actually past my waist lol
Wait his English is insanely good for only having lived there one year in 7th grade. Did he live in another English speaking country for a long time or something?
As an American I really wanna do a reaction to this video !!! Should I??
Kyojun: Everybody respects ARMY
My BTS ARMY head: MOMMMYYYY!!! LETS GO TO AMERICA!!!
We also in Iran have desert in center, jungle and rainy weather in north and sky piste in north-west 😊😊

By the way, Iranians love Americans❤
@@pourya8188 We are a democracy. The Government is the American people. so its ok if Americans chant "death to Iran"?
@@pourya8188 Ignore this other idiot. As an American I want to say you guys are good people and it's a shame our governments can't get along. I hope someday it gets better.
It was good to distinguish some differences in So Cal vs New Hampshire at the beginning. Two experiences within the same country.
BTW, there is some snow in southern California in a good year. This means you can go surfing in the morning, then ski/snowboard in the afternoon.
I'm a Korean American living in the South and tea is king in these parts, especially sweet tea, but it seems to be a very regional sort of thing. When I visited the Midwest for a friend's wedding, I was surprised that iced tea was not offered at any of the restaurants. Growing up, my mom regularly made Korean barley or roasted corn tea, but we rarely drank it hot...mostly because the South is already crazy hot (in fact, it is common to make sun tea here, which is where you put the tea in a glass container and leave it outside where the 98+ degree weather brews it for you) and humid. The Korean restaurants in Atlanta serve hot water and hot tea with meals though, an eye-opening experience for a friend I took there once.
3:48 AYEE LETS GO!!! They got Neffex playing in the baclground! :D
i think im in love with kyojun
She's absolutely gorgeous 😍
His American accent is so good! 👏🏼 👏🏼
Thanks for the Surfshark recommendation, I actually downloaded it. haha
Some people are saying the 🍵 thing isnt true bc they drink it. I think they were piggybacking off of what is common in restaurants/fast food rather than what we drink at home. Generally people order and are offered cold soda, water, juice not really something like a hot water/hot hibiscus tea before meals. For sure some people might ask for it, but keep in mind this is about general characteristics.
BEAUTIFUL GUEST 💜
Aww thank you ❤️
Don't forget about the tacos!!!! LA street tacos are the best!!
Great vid, love the hosts and Tanaya is so right! Also yesss I found using a VPN to be important, especially for watching netflix or when accessing my US bank from Korea!
Yes there are people in America that still appreciate tea bags. I'd say it's more on the *at home calm down* side of it. Usually people on the go that want high calorie to energize or whatever on the go there's always going to be soda.
She sounded so informative like I could listen to her talk abt many other topics
Thank you :D
@@BrownBeautyAbroad 😘😘ur awesome!!
I feel a little attacked when Kyojun mentioned the Dr. Pepper bit.. I love Dr. Pepper. ;w;
I live west coast Oregon and Washington and it’s very different from California it’s so cold rains a lot and snows every year ! Very nice places
i also live in washington and i wouldn’t say its that cold where im at or that it snows much… but it sure does rain.
Kyojun oppa!
My only correction is we absolutely use a lot of tea bags lol
I'm American my family and almost everyone I know drink hot tea often (almost daily excluding the summer months) Im from the East coast So that may be the difference.
요! 미국은 west coast 이지! 왔업맨!!! 박준형씨 물어봐!
