We're back in Seoul, South Korea.
It's really nice here, our first time here.
This area wasn't that popular back then, but it is now.
This is giving us the K-drama feels.
That's freaking good, dude.
We are like, now the biggest hall of young here in South Korea.
9% of people here are just locals.
Last time we were here, there was like hundreds of tents.
Let's keep exploring Seoul and see some new places.
Alright guys, welcome to a new video.
As you can see from the title, we're back in Seoul, South Korea.
So we're actually here for work,
but we decided to bring you guys along on one of our free days.
There's so many things that we want to do in Seoul.
So we're really, really happy to be back
and we're going to be exploring places that we haven't been yet.
We're currently here at Yeonpyeong Hanok Village.
Yeah, and the cafe we're currently at is called Irin Iljan or Ilhan.
Yeah, let me show you the view real quick.
Look at that.
Insane.
It's going to be a little bit of a raw vlog
just because it is one of our free days.
So let's keep exploring Seoul and see some new places.
Let's go.
It's okay.
Thank you very much.
Wrong cutting.
Alright guys, we just finished with the cafe.
We're just walking around Hanok Village now.
Since we haven't been to this one specifically.
It's beautiful out here.
Yeah, I think the Hanok Village architecture is one of the most beautiful in my opinion.
No, it's nice.
It's so different.
On our first trip to South Korea,
we went to a Hanok Village as well,
but it's called Boncheok.
I honestly think this one is way more beautiful
because there's mountains surrounding the Hanok Village.
The one we went to in our first ever Korean vlog,
that was a more popular one.
Like a touristy one.
Because it's in the city.
Yeah, yeah.
He's got a sweet, sweet heart after all.
Ann has become a photographer guys.
Alright, so we found this nice to see you convenience store.
And honestly, I think it's one of the coolest ones.
It's beautiful.
Let's go check it out.
Alright, snack time.
Snack time.
Man, Korea, Japan, they just have the best convenience store.
Yeah, these used to be our favorite drinks.
This one was our favorite.
The ice caramel macchiato.
Just liquid in here.
And then you get the ice and you put this in the ice and it becomes a drink.
You didn't even need to go to the cafe.
You could have just went to.
Nice to see you.
Look at the view.
You still get the mountain view as well.
So I do intermittent fasting.
I always break my fast with an egg.
Ann gets, I don't know, Ann eats.
Depends on how I'm feeling that day.
You just never know with me.
Today, I got bibimbap.
I love their bibimbap at the convenience stores.
It's just so easy.
Dude, even the eggs here have glass skin.
Why is it so perfect?
It's got a facial.
We got a facial before they put the egg in there.
Oh my god.
It's like a baby's bum.
All right guys, so we're heading to our next spot now.
If you guys are wondering how we get around, we get around by taxis.
In Korea, they have two taxi fetching apps.
It's called K.Ride and the other one is KakaoT.
We've been using K.Ride because it's more for foreign tourists.
Thank you.
All right guys, we're here now at our second stop of today's adventure.
We're heading to Namsan Seoul Tower.
Never been here before.
Yeah, and it's pretty iconic.
You know, we love K-dramas.
This is giving us the K-drama feels.
Especially with the lighting right now.
Oh my gosh, we're almost at the Seoul Tower.
We can actually see it from here.
But Jen and I, I don't know what we were thinking.
We thought we could walk this two kilometers from the very bottom.
But we just realized there are buses that can actually take you there.
So you don't have to walk 20 minutes.
But it's not too bad.
It's not too bad, just steep.
It gets higher and higher.
All right, so there's the Seoul Tower.
Look how high we are though.
But look at our view.
Team Lab.
Yeah, Team Lab.
All right, so we're up here now.
It's quite foggy today, unfortunately.
The observatory decks that we've been going to lately,
we've been seeing like a lot of fog because it is the winter time.
So if you guys are wondering where we booked our tickets,
we booked it on Klook as always.
And speaking of Klook.
Sakura season is finally here.

Now let's get back to exploring Korea.
And thanks to Klook for sponsoring this part of the video.
Whoa, these are sick.
Damn, this is actually really nice.
Nice design actually.
All right guys, so unfortunately, it's quite foggy today.
So we can't really see anything.
It's just fog.
I highly recommend checking the weather before coming here.
Just look up to see if it's foggy.
But still our favorite observatory deck here in Seoul is definitely Lotte World.
Like not only the views, but the experience.
Yeah, Lotte World is nice.
Highly recommend that one.
These souvenirs.
Nice stuff up here.
You can even write yourself a letter.
It costs a bit.
You can write yourself a letter and then you mail it in here.
Look.
Oh, you mail it to yourself?
Yeah, delivery takes approximately two to four weeks.
What a loser.
So you write yourself a letter and you ship it to yourself.
You can ship it to somebody.
Guys, that could be you up there.
Just finished with the observatory deck and Jan and I are starving.
And we found this Korean restaurant.
If you guys are hungry while you're here, like there's so many options.
There's also cafes, Starbucks, Cinnabon.
So you won't go hungry here.
All right, so I got mine.
Look at that.
I got pork belly.
All right, so I got the pork belly set and got the kimchi pork stew.
All right, let's eat.
This is the best part as a Filipino.
Ta-da!
As always, what we love about Korean food are the sides.
And they're unlimited.
They always have sides.
It's so good.
There's always like a refill bar.
Yeah.
And you can refill the kimchi.
We love the kimchi and like other vegetables on the side.
Guys, my spice tolerance is getting higher.
Yeah, I kind of like spicy food now.
Anyways, guys, this area, to be honest, you don't even need to go to the observatory deck
if you don't want to pay.
There's a plaza here where you can hang out and there's so many restaurants.
And some people are even like having a picnic over there.
Yeah.
Because the plaza alone is already high enough where you can actually see the city already.
So you don't even need to go to the observatory deck.
So our last stop for today is Seongsu-dong District.
This was actually recommended to us by a local.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but reading online,
this area wasn't that popular back then, but it is now.
The local that recommended this told us that foreigners and tourists,
they go to Myeongdong, but locals come here.
And this is where you can do like shopping and cafe hopping.
And this area is like a hip and artsy neighborhood.
So we're really excited.
First, we're going to grab some dessert from this cafe called Cafe Onion.
It's very popular here in Seoul.
We haven't tried it yet.
So let's go check it out.
It looks like an abandoned building.
Okay.
So their pastry here is pretty crazy, dude.
I've never seen anything like this.
Yeah, the selection is kind of crazy.
So I think Jan and I are going to try their most popular one.
It says Onion's Choice.
It's vanilla bean, sugar, powder, and butter.
It's this one right here.
That looks like a mountain.
This cafe is so cool.
Looks like an abandoned building.
And they made it into a cafe.
Kind of cool.
Okay.
So we got two things.
We got their best sellers though.
Yeah.
So this is a chocolate latte,
which is supposedly the best chocolate latte in Seoul.
That's what they say.
And this one right here is...
We don't know what this is.
Everyone seems to be getting it,
and it's their best seller.
So let's try.
Some **** on top.
Just kidding.
See what the hype is all about.
Cheers.
Yeah, it's like sweet, buttery,
with like some sort of milk powder.
Whoa, look at all that ****.
Don't put it up your nose now.
That's different.
So this one right here is the chocolate latte.
It's hot chocolate mixed with tea.
Tea?
That's what it tastes like to me.
That's **** good, dude.
Really?
That's really good.
That's delicious.
That's good, dude.
That's good.
It's not too sweet either.
Yeah.
Doesn't it have like a tea?
Like the aftertaste.
It kind of tastes like tea.
Yeah.
It's good though.
It's really good.
That's good.
Yeah.
All right.
So we're checking out the rooftop.
So here's the cafe.
Then they have like a rooftop.
Whoa, this is sick.
All right, guys.
We're walking around Seongsu neighborhood now.
It's really nice here.
Our first time here.
Definitely lots of locals shopping and doing their thing.
Definitely lots of restaurants here.
Lots of shopping opportunities and the energy is great.
Yeah, definitely much more locals here compared to like Myeongdong, you know.
All right.
So, so far, it's mostly local brands here.
90% of people here are just locals.
I don't see much foreigners.
I don't really see foreigners at all.
Yeah.
Which is kind of a nice vibe.
But we love local brands.
We love local boutiques.
If you guys are the same, then definitely check this place out.
So this area is actually quite small compared to Myeongdong.
In my opinion, I still prefer Myeongdong.
It's just more lively.
Obviously, it's very iconic.
So before we go home, we're actually going to stop by Olive Young.
And this Olive Young just recently opened a few months ago.
And it's now the biggest Olive Young here in South Korea.
Before this one, it was the one in Myeongdong.
But this one is now the biggest.
Look, there's a cafe.
Do you want to chill here while I go?
This is for the boyfriends and the fiances while the girlfriends do their shopping upstairs.
Oh, it's nice.
This is only the first floor.
They even got a slide here.
For the kids.
Just kidding.
Maybe for the kids, yeah.
While the mom shops.
Look how excited Jan is.
I told Jan, I was like, you want to go sit down there?
And he's like, no, no, I'll come up with you.
You know, keep an eye on it.
So they've got five floors.
That's a little bit crazy.
Damn, for what?
It feels like a mall in here.
It is a mall.
So I'm definitely getting this one because I bought the sample version of this.
And it works so well on my skin.
You tried it too.
Yeah, no, it's nice.
It's only been five minutes.
No, no, I like it here.
I like this one.
It's the vitamin C dark spot serum.
Yeah.
Kind of pricey.
It makes your face...
Smells like Cheerios.
Like vibrant.
Yeah.
Give this a go if you're looking ugly.
I'm just kidding.
Just give it a go if you're feeling not so confident.
Okay, this is becoming Jan's haul.
Yeah, this, I know for the men's, this is the sunscreen that I use.
This is the one that I use.
No, it's Round Lab.
Round Lab.
Yeah, we really love this one because sunscreen can feel really sticky, but this...
Not this one.
It feels like moisturizer.
Yeah, it feels very light.
Like I don't feel it at all on my face after I put it on.
Yeah.
And it's SPF 50.
We're gonna give this a go.
Very popular right now.
It's very popular right now in Korea.
It tightens your pores, you know, make it glass skin like the Koreans.
Yeah, really, really popular right now.
This has been on my list for a very long time.
And it's one plus one.
Equals three.
Okay, done with Olive Young.
Jan is trying to find a BHC chicken.
Yeah, we're gonna get some fried chicken.
We haven't had BHC yet.
Yeah.
And we like BHC fried chicken.
What do you mean like?
We love.
We love BHC fried chicken.
This is what we got.
We only got four things.
We only got four things because we already went to Olive Young yesterday and got like 10 things.
Correction, four things today.
Okay, so this is my absolute favorite thing here at BHC.
This is our go-to here at BHC.
So burrinco chicken, which is cheese, sweet and sour sauce.
This combo is amazing.
Yeah.
All right, let's give this a try.
Get some gloves.
I love the chicken here.
It's so crispy.
How are you eating that?
It's so hot right now.
All right guys, so just finished dinner.
And we're still here at Dongdaemun.
We're actually going to a night market.
It's called DDP Youth Runway Night Market.
So this is like the start.
Last time we were here, there was like hundreds of tents.
Yeah.
Selling random things.
Well, there's a lot of like replicas here.
If you're into that, I guess this is your stuff.
Come here.
All right, if I would buy something here, it's definitely for the dog.
Tiffany and Co and Nike.
Prada, Prada, Balenciaga.
Y'all need some branded boots and boxers, there you go.
All right guys, it's now 10 p.m.
We're finally here at our hotel.
So if you guys are wondering where we're staying,
we're actually staying in Myeongdong area.
So Myeongdong, especially if it's your first time, it's a good area to stay.
We love staying here.
Yeah, so our hotel is called Ibis Style Ambassador Myeongdong.
This is a good area.
It's literally right beside.
Two minutes away from the walking street.
We can see Seoul Tower from our rooftop.
Finally home though.
It's been a long day.
Oh, Anne went shopping today.
So day two today and we're getting a facial.
Because honestly, you can't leave Seoul, South Korea without getting one.
It's amazing.
So let's go.
So we're here now in the district of Gangnam.
This area is so nice.
So modern.
Super busy.
Yeah, this is like their business district.
Anyways, we are here now at the clinic.
This clinic is very well known here in Seoul, South Korea.
That's why we came here.
It's called Pepyeong.
Yeah, Pepyeong Clinic.
Very popular among the locals and also foreigners.
Yeah, so let's go get pretty.
Let's go.
Anne, is this the menu that you wanted to try out?
And also skin booster of Filro and also the Potenza.
Is that correct?
The request that you put inside the memo will be the relief booster.
Okay.
That is a recent procedure that we just came out like two or three months ago.
Okay.
So you can just think of it as same effects as skin boosters.
Okay.
However, there isn't any downtime or any pain.
So we will be just putting an ampoule all over her face,
which contains the microneedle itself.
Oh, okay.
Then we're going to use a machine to rub it all over her face.
It will take at least 72 hours for the microneedle to seep into your skin.
Okay.
So you will feel a little itchiness for at least three days.
Okay.
Besides that, there won't be any downtime or any pain at all.
Okay.
All right, guys.
So we do get the VIP room.
This is so sick.
All right.
So apparently I have to wash my face before the procedure.
So they do have some cleanser here.
So I'm just going to use that.
So today I give you a procedure.
It's named a breeder shot with a 4cc.
Okay.
Yeah.
Thank you.
So Jen, this is an EXO breeder shot, 4cc.
Hands done as well.
Definitely will go down by tomorrow.
It's not bad.
By a lot.
Yeah, this is microneedling, guys.
Very good for you though.
So I'm excited to see the results.
All right, guys.
So we just finished with our treatment.
My face already looking younger.
Younger by 20 years.
God dang.
I didn't eat that much.
We're so hungry right now.
It's currently 5.30 now.
And we're going to go get some all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue.
You haven't done that yet?
Is this our third time here in Korea?
Yeah.
And we've never gotten Korean barbecue.
Yeah.
So we're heading to an all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue here in Myeongdong.
All right, here we are.
It's called Myeongdong K-Barbecue.
All-you-can-eat.
All right.
All-you-can-eat, baby.
Good.
Pork belly, pork.
The bottom, you got ribeye, top blade.
So beef at the bottom, pork here.
Then you got your vegetables.
Beef bulgogi.
Fill that up, boy.
Beautiful.
God damn.
Some top blade.
Oh my god.
Cabbage.
Obviously, we gotta get some kimchi.
Oh, dude, that's good.
It's so juicy, tender, flavorful.
Yes, sir.
So we got more.
Our favorite right now is the bulgogi beef.
It's so good.
And we got some mushrooms as well.
And then we got a view of Myeongdong.
Oh, yeah.
It's a perfect dessert.
I think it's my favorite street food here in Korea.
It's called egg bread.
If you haven't tried it, definitely give it a go if you're here.
It's just egg and bread.
It's just egg and sweet bread.
It's good.
Yeah.
Look at your skin, though.
Man, I love Myeongdong walking street so much.
Never gets old.
All right.
Let's pop a little bit for our sweater.
Look at this.
That's so cute.
The dog face.
XXL.
She's a little chubby.
For $25.
That's so cute.
