Hey guys, can you believe it? Today marks the 2nd anniversary of my channel! Whether you've been with me from the start, joined somewhere along the way, or just found my channel recently, I want to thank all of you πŸ€—

I still remember posting my first video two years ago. All it took was a few clicks to upload, but my heart was racing like crazy. I thought my channel would grow easily because, after all, I was creating fun videos to help people learn Korean with Going Seventeen, which everyone loves. But wow, I was SO wrong πŸ˜… I thought my videos would be revolutionary, like those vitamin gummies haha. But in reality, people looking for something healthy don't necessarily want to get their nutrients from candy, and people wanting a snack don't go to the pharmacy to buy it. When I realized that, I honestly felt like giving up. However, every time I had those thoughts, I would see the people who liked and supported my videos, and that kept me going. So I truly want to thank you all.

Now that two years have passed, both my mindset and situation have changed a lot. But one thing that hasn't changed is that I still want to keep making videos. My goals aren't that big anymore. I just want to keep sharing everything I know with you for as long as I can, without stressing too much about growing the channel, and hopefully, continue being helpful to you.

I used to be pretty confident in my memory, so I could easily recall which expressions I used in which videos, in what order, and with which examples. But lately, it's been harder to keep track, so I've decided to create a master list (I'll finish it and share it with you before the year ends). I've already drafted a rough outline, and there are quite a few fun/useful expressions, so I'm thinking it might be a good idea to put together some shorts as a quick review. So, my plan for this year is to complete the 2024 Useful Expressions Series and upload various shorts.

I'm so happy to be part of your Korean learning journey. Thanks as always ☺️


With tons of love, Gagya 🀍

Hey guys, hope you're all doing well!

I've had a lot going on this week, so I might need to take a little break. I'll be taking this week off, but I'll be back next week with a LyricSync of LALALI. Thank you so much for your understanding and patience. See you soon!!

μ²­μΆ˜μ°¬κ°€(Cheers to Youth) : the WOOZIest song of all

μ–΄μ©Œλ‹€ λ³΄λ‹ˆ 처음 λ§ˆμ£Όν•˜λŠ” μ˜€λŠ˜μ΄λΌμ„œ
μ‚¬λ¬΄μΉ˜κ²Œ μ•„ν”ˆ 말 ν•œ λ§ˆλ””μ— λ‚΄κ°€ 더 싫어도
μ‹ κ²½ 쓰지 말자
우리 λͺ©μ†Œλ¦¬λ‘œ μ–΄λ””μ„œλΌλ„ λΆ€λ₯΄μž
μ²­μΆ˜μ°¬κ°€

1. μ–΄μ©Œλ‹€ λ³΄λ‹ˆ - somehow, 처음 - for the first time, λ§ˆμ£Όν•˜λŠ” - facing, 였늘 - today, μ΄λΌμ„œ - because
β†’ Because it's the first time for me to live today
2. μ‚¬λ¬΄μΉ˜κ²Œ - piercingly, μ•„ν”ˆ - painful, 말 ν•œ λ§ˆλ””μ— - by one word, λ‚΄κ°€ 더 싫어도 - though I get to hate myself more
β†’ Even if I come to hate myself more over brutally harsh words
3. μ‹ κ²½ 쓰지 말자 - let's not mind it
β†’ Let's not dwell on it

The line 1-3 are one big sentence which implies:
One thing led to another, and here we are. It's the first time all of us are experiencing 'today,' so even a single word can be excruciating, leading us to be harsher on ourselves. Nevertheless, let's not dwell on it. AND

4. 우리 λͺ©μ†Œλ¦¬λ‘œ - with our voices, μ–΄λ””μ„œλΌλ„ - wherever we are. λΆ€λ₯΄μž - let's sing
β†’ Let's sing it with our voices, no matter where we are
5. μ²­μΆ˜μ°¬κ°€ - an anthem for our youth
β†’ Cheers to youth

This has quickly become my new favorite song 😍 I'd love to create a LyricSync episode about it, but with GoSe returning, I won't be able to make one anytime soon. So, consider this post a small gift for the LyricSync fans out there 🀍

I feel like this song is a more mature take on Kidult. If I could write a preface for the song, I would start with a line from Kidult:
"μŠ¬ν””λ³΄λ‹€ μ°¬λž€ν•œ 맀일 λ„ˆμ—κ²Œ" - To you, who's living in the spring of brilliant sorrow ✨

Hi guys! I hope you're all doing well ☺️

I wanted to share that I've been joyfully running this channel all by myself, uploading weekly for the past 68 weeks without a break. It's been an incredible journey, sharing my knowledge and seeing how much you all appreciate it. Your support is the biggest reason I love making videos, and I'm committed to continuing for as long as possible.

To ensure I can keep doing this sustainably, I've decided to take a break. This will help me come back refreshed and ready to provide fun and informative content.

But don't worry, I'll be back soon! I plan to return with the 'Useful Expressions Series' from GOING SEVENTEEN 2024 at the latest, though I might return earlier.

I'm going to miss you all so much during this break πŸ₯Ί Stay tuned, and I look forward to reconnecting with all of you soon πŸ€—

Lots of love, Gagya 🀍

Hey there, how are you πŸ™ŒπŸ»

I'm thrilled to see you all enjoying the latest video!!! πŸ€—

I've been consistently uploading a video every Sunday for the past 52 weeks, and next week marks my channel's 1st anniversary since a year consists of 52 weeks!

I'm considering adding a Q&A section to the next video. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments below!
If you get your questions in by this Wednesday (October 4th), I'll be able to include them in the video πŸ˜‰
But don't worry if you don't have any questions - just know that I appreciate each and every one of you 🀍

No matter which time zone you're in, I hope you're having a fantastic day!

Stay awesome ✨

Hi there ☺️

I received feedback from one of my viewers that I should use less romanization in my videos. I've been using it to help those who are new to Korean and unfamiliar with Hangeul.

To ensure that my content is the most helpful for everyone, I would like to get your opinion on the matter!! Please take a moment to answer this quick question πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Thank you in advance for your participation and feedback 🀍

Hey guys!!!! My channel is just about to hit 1.2k subscribers!!!

Thank you so so so much πŸ₯Ή Your support and love for this channel mean everything to me, and I'm grateful for it every day 🀍🀍

I was wondering what I could do for you in return, and I came up with the idea to offer some quality review materials!! So, I have decided to upload Instagram posts as review materials, and I hope you find them useful. I've already posted one for the video from last Sunday, and I will post the review materials for future videos within 2-3 days of my Sunday video upload. You can find them on my Instagram account (@ikoreanu).

Thank you for being a part of this wonderful community, and I look forward to bringing you more useful and enjoyable content in the future β˜ΊοΈπŸ™ŒπŸ»

With much love and gratitude,
