02 | Korea
I started YouTube when I was 15. It started off as a hobby, but then it slowly started to become my full-time job.
I currently have 4 million subscribers on my channel, on that channel I make vlogs and other videos.
I also have a second channel which is my cover channel. I do song covers on that channel, and I currently have 2 million subscribers on that channel.
I make quite a sum of money from both channels which goes to all my personal expenses.
I also earn a bit of money from my Instagram since I get quite a lot of sponsorships and stuff.
Since I get a lot of money from all that, I was able to buy a big house and a car. I was independent and paying for all my expenses by myself at the age of 17.
*****
We started our 40 min drive from our house to the airport. There wasn't much traffic yet since it was still early in the morning.
Caro and I played songs on the speaker, we were singing loudly and vibing along to the music.
Once we got to the airport, not everyone was there yet so we waited for a bit. Once they all got there, we went to get ourselves checked in.
We got through security without a problem and then we headed to our gate. Our gate was a little further than we anticipated, but we were fine with walking.
We were 3 hours early, so there weren't many people at the gate yet. We sat down and rested for a bit.
None of us has eaten breakfast yet and we were getting a little hungry, so we went to go buy some food from the food court.
I went for 2 McDonald's breakfast burritos, 1 egg and sausage McMuffin, 2 hash browns, and water. I got a lot of food, but ya girls gotta eat so...
After eating, we all sat down and did our own things. I decided to start editing my video so that I won't have much to do later.
Our flight is at 10 and right now it is currently 8 am, I still had a lot of time to go.
A few hours later. "Attention all borders, flight number F124, Canada to Korea will be boarding now."
"That's us, let's go!" Caro said standing up enthusiastically.
I grabbed my stuff, and I started recording with my camera as we started boarding our plane.
I was amazed when we got to the first-class section. There was so much space.
I put my stuff in the space provided by my seat, and I sat down in my chair.
There was so much space in our seating area, we had a big tv and a mini-fridge with drinks.
I buckled in my seat belt and sat back after looking around a bit. I played some music on my headphones so that my ears won't pop as much.
When it was safe, I took off my seatbelt and I took my vlog camera, and started vlogging.
I showed my seat and all the cool features it had, then I went to check out the bathroom. It was super spacious as well, and there was also a shower in it.
After checking out the rest of the plane, I went back to my seat.
I decided to edit the footage that I had since we still had so much time to kill.
After a while, it was lunchtime. A flight attendant came and gave everyone menus.
I decided to go with the cheesy pork cutlet. It came with a bit of rice, a small portion of cabbage slaw, tonkatsu sauce, and a mini flan for dessert. It also came with a soft drink.
I finished eating, and now I was bored, I could watch a movie but I don't really feel like it.
I sat there for a while thinking what I should do next. Then I thought to myself, "I'm gonna draw something."
I got my sketchbook and pencils out of my backpack and I played some music on my phone.
As an inspo for my drawing, I decided to draw a picture of myself.
It was a picture of when Caro and I went on a picnic.
We still had a lot of time to go before we arrive in Korea and by the time we arrive it should be 5 am KST.
I was drawing for 5 hours before I finally finished my sketch. I think it's pretty good for something I made while flying on a plane.
I put my stuff away and I decided to take a quick nap. We still had 4 hours left till we arrive.
*****
"Hey, Zoey wake up we're gonna land soon." Caro shook me until I woke up.
I sat up startled. "Huh, wait what did you say?" I said running my eyes.
"I said, we are gonna be landing soon so fix yourself up."
I nodded my head and she went back to her seat. I fixed my hair since it looked like a bird's nest. But before I buckled up, I quickly went to the restroom.
After that, I sat back down and put on my seat belt, ready for landing. It was now 5 am here in Korea.
It wasn't long before we had finally landed in Seoul, South Korea. I am soo excited!
*****
Once we landed, I grabbed my stuff and we started heading off the plane. Once we got out of our gate, we started heading for baggage claim. It took a while for us to get our luggage, but once we got them we headed for the exit.
We were walking to the exit, I saw someone with a sign that said ND Crew. It was one of the producers of the show, the one that contacted me.
She welcomed us and lead us outside to our vehicles. Everyone was separated into 3 different vans since not everyone could fit into one van.
I was in the first van with Caro and some others. I was surprised that the van was pretty spacious, it could fit 9 people in one including the driver.
Once everyone was ready to go, we started heading to our Air BnB which was only 30 mins from the airport.
As we were driving, I was vlogging a bit and we were talking with the producer. She explained a bit more about what we were gonna do on the show and stuff.
Not long after, we arrived at our Air BnB, and it was HUGE! The style of the house was cottage core, very cabin-like.
Just driving into the driveway, we were amazed at how big it was. We got out of the car and we bid our goodbyes to the producer, she said she'd call us later on in the day to discuss details.
We headed inside after gathering our things.
As soon as we opened the front door, we were even more amazed. It looked so nice. I love the cottage core vibes, it reminded me of my own home.
I went in and started looking around. I took out my camera and started doing a little tour.
Once you walked in, you were greeted with a small hallway. Then when you walk further you are in between the kitchen and living room.
There was a total of 12 rooms in this house, 4 on the main floor, 4 in the basement, and 4 upstairs.
The rooms were all different sizes, but none of them were super small, they all had 2 beds in each room and some other stuff in it. It felt like a hotel. It also had a pretty big kitchen and backyard.
Everyone immediately went looking for a room. Some people went downstairs, some went upstairs. I decided to go upstairs to look for a room.
Caro was inside one of the rooms that were further down the hallway.
She has plopped down onto the bed facing down, she turned around to look at me when she heard someone coming.
"Ohh it's you, wanna share a room with me?" She said plopping back down on the bed.
"I mean, I guess I could... Yeah, I'll share a room with you."
I walked in with my stuff, since she was on the bed closer to the door, I took the one closer to the window.
I put my stuff beside my bed and plopped down and looked at the ceiling.
I looked around the room. There were two beds, a tv in the center of the room, we had a private balcony, and our own bathroom. The whole house was decorated in mostly white and brown shades.
I laid there for a few mins and then I got up to start unpacking my stuff.
It didn't take me so long to unpack my stuff, I put them into the small closet.
Since it was still early in the morning here in Korea, there wasn't much to do so I decided to take a quick nap.
[2 hours later]
I woke up from my nap and it was oddly quiet, I figured everyone was sleeping or something.
Caro was in her bed doing some work on her laptop. I guess she didn't take a nap.
"Ohh you're awake now?"
I nodded my head while rubbing my eyes.
I went to the bathroom to wash my face since it was kinda oily. I dried it with a towel and went back into the room.
"Hey, do you wanna come with me to the convenience store to buy some food? I checked on Google maps and there is one close by." Caro said while rummaging through her purse.
"Sure, why not. How far is it?"
"It's like a 5 min walk from here."
"Ohh okay I'll come." I walked over to my purse and took out my wallet.
Caro looked at me strangely, "Aren't you gonna change or something?"
I looked down at what I was wearing, I was wearing some pajamas, maybe I should change. I walked over to my luggage and took out a pair of jeans and an oversized sweatshirt. I changed quickly in the bathroom.
"Alrighty let's go, I'm not gonna wear a jacket since it's not that cold out." I went out into the hallway.
Caro was sitting on the floor putting on her sneakers. I went downstairs to wait for her.
Some of the members were downstairs in the living room each doing their own thing. I guess the others are sleeping.
"Hey guys, Caro and I are going to the convenience store, do you guys want anything?"
Ella looks up from her phone, "What do they even have in Korean convenience stores? Just get us some junk food or something please."
I gave her a thumbs up and went to go put on my shoes which were by the front door. Caro came down while putting on her jacket.
"Okay, guys we will be back." I opened the door to head out.
It was really nice out. Although there was some snow on the ground, it wasn't that cold.
I took out my phone, the time read 7:23. It was still pretty early in the morning and not many people were out yet.
Caro closed the door to the house and we started walking to the convenience store.
I brought my camera with me and started vlogging.
The scenery was amazing it was like the kdrama where the place felt so nice and aesthetic. I loved how minimalistic it felt.
We talked and took some pictures of each other for Instagram along the way.
We soon reached our destination. It was a pretty big convenience store, there were seats outside and inside.
As we suspected, there weren't many people there. Only a few customers and the employees.
There were isles upon isles of food. I was amazed at how much food they had here. I grabbed a basket and ran off to start picking stuff to buy.
Caro's POV:
I walked into the store and grabbed a basket. Zoe went running off with her basket in one hand, and her camera in the other.
I chuckled, she loves food way much. She gets so excited when there's food.
I walked into a random aisle, there was a bunch of different kinds of ramen. I didn't know which one to get, so I got multiple different kinds. I made sure to get enough for the others too.
I walked into the next aisle and it was a snack aisle. There were various different kinds of biscuits, chips, candies, and other snacks.
I chose quite a few. I wanted to try all of them, but sadly I'll be broke if I bought a lot.
I got some other things and headed to the drinks section. I got some banana milk for Zoe since it's her fave, and I also got some other drinks. I also got some soju for later.
After getting all my stuff I went to go look for Zoe, she could be anywhere in this big store.
After 10 mins of searching, I finally found her, she had 3 baskets of food each filled to the top.
My mouth was hanging open, I am shocked as to how much she gathered in the span of 30 minutes.
"Are you seriously gonna get all of that?" I gestured to all her stuff.
She looked down at it and said "Yep, this is probably gonna last 2 days." She looked up smiled at me.
I just shook my head at her and chuckled. "Okay, now let's go and pay." I walked to the register.
Zoe's POV:
I followed Caro to the register, lucky for us we speak fluent Korean so paying wasn't a problem.
Caro paid first and I went after her.
After paying, we headed out and started walking back to the Air BnB.
I was skipping around because I was happy we had so much food.
Not long after we made it back to the house. I struggled to open the door with all the bags in my hand.
But once I opened it I held the bags up and yelled, "WE GOT SOME FOOD, WHO WANTS SOME?"
Everyone started coming out from where they were. I walked into the kitchen and dumped all the stuff onto the dining table.
We all sat down and ate, we talked and laughed. I loved spending time with everyone.
We still had so much time to kill. And we had a big day ahead of us what should I do next?
