Hi! My name is Melody Alisa - welcome to my channel. I lived in South Korea for two years where I met God and I documented my life as an English teacher (check out my Life in Korea playlist for more on this!) Now, I call Atlanta home. On my TH-cam channel, I share my Christian faith and life as a creative, a newlywed, a soon-to-be first time mama through weekly new videos!

the door is like so high tech
Vernette Lovell it is the most common things in Korea lol
ok thank u so much.
808 JAMS armyyyy
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.
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!?
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?
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
Loving your stickies Melody! Keep God's purpose your #1 priority!
They're so inspiring!
Very admirable how humble she is, lessons to learn here.
isn't happiness the best thing in life. you are leaving it. you go girl !
Your videos make me happy! I like the affirmations
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.
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
sweet. good luck in life and teaching.
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.
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
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 🙂”
i love the "you already know."
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!!!
thank you!
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. :)
that's awesome, I'm so glad they can help!
i love your positivity! it's so amazing
:) thank you!
Your apt is sooooo cute!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
U seem really cool and your apartment is amazing and very homey
It reminds me of my university accommodation in Ireland to be honest, small and cozy with everything you really need. Ilike it, it's cute!
Thank you!
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.
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.
Love it! Thank you for sharing!
:) Thank you!
wow you are so awesome! i discovered your channel today and you gained a new subscriber 💕 love from Uruguay 🙆😙
aww yay! 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 :)
Your apartments nice! I live in Korea too.
Omg I swear to god from all the Korean drama I watch like i knew what it was kinda gonna look like looool
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)
Reminds me exactly of the apartment I lived in in Cheongju. I too picked my second apartment :D
homes here in the uae are big but Korean apartments look cozy because everything is small and neat
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
Wow i loove your place!!! Its so cool!!❤❤❤
thanks!
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.
I saw you on Jessica's video and right after watching it, I came to your page! You're sooooo funny!!
aw thank you!!
I'm Tibetan and I was like do I spy a Tibetan Prayer Flag!?!? Super cool 👌🏻
hehe yep!
Hey, I'm from Orlando and planning on teaching in Korea too!
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.
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 😭😭😭
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
very inspiration
I like the door very safe
Can you post a still video of that bathroom cabinet. I would like to try to make one
I'm from Orlando, too :) And I want to move to Korea after I graduate from UCF :)
Hi! New subbie, love your vids, very entertaining and fun to watch! 💕
:) thank you!!
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.
I just subscribed.. you're awesome!
I wonder how expensive apartments in general are there in Korea 🤔
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.
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!
Your place looks so cozy. Is it well insulated? My old place had crappy insulation.
You are so gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!! Super jealous of your amazing hair game girl :D
thank you :)
i love korea, my best friend is from there and he is teaching me korean.
oh cool!
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
omg its so cuteeee but the bathroom/shower was super weird to me since I'm american hahahaa!! love ur vids so much!! ily :)
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
Currently binge watching your videos. Love every one of them! Quick question: what camera do you use?
thank you so much! the most recent videos are shot with a Canon G7X.
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 was wondering apartment but god you're beautiful *^*
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
your apartment is like mine, its messy. also i did everything at my desk. eat , study, makeup, watch movie and stuff.. lol.
What teaching program are you in and what’s the process?? Great video!!
Omg, the bathroom is the shower that's so different.
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..
You use Aussie?!? I swear by it. It's wonderful!
hey mel could you do a video talking about what you brought/didn't bring to korea when you moved?
great idea :) definitely!
lol question..since youre natural..do you have to order your hair products online or do they sell those brands in korea? x
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!
might be a silly question, but are training facilities easily accessible? are there gym's nearby?
I'm from Orlando, too!
orlando represent!
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
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?
Nice!
Thank you!
Hey can I know where you find the apartment from? Like some app or website that you've use? :D
Did the apartment come furnished with dishes as well?
Interesting seeing your apartment .😊
ur realy tidy 😊😊😊
ooh, thank you!
Can I teach in south Korea if I'm a non native English speaker as I'm from India?
Hope to hear from u soon
What a cute apartment. It looks real cosy! ^_^
thank you!
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.
It's larger than I thought! Nice!
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
how much rent cost's for these kind of studio....its just my style, hope rent won't cost much -500 usd or something...??
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
Ur apartment is so cute I wanna know how much it cost
hi. I am planing on staying in korea for two months and looking for an apartment that is affordable stay in for 2 months. if you know any place please let me know ?
Please reply how much do you get paid as a teacher in Korea, do they always provide an apartment for you in Korea if you become a teacher
You are so pretty 🌺
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
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.
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???
⭐️
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
So you're an english teacher in South Korea? What is that like? (I've been looking into doing something like that, and it would be nice to hear some advice from someone who is in the profession and knows it first-hand).
You are so beautiful omg
aw thank you!
Is eating out in Korea healthier?
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!
I'm 13 and I really want to teach in the epik program, I'm willing to put in the effort for my degree's and education, as I've always been a hard worker. I'm currently in my second year of secondary school (I think that's middle school in America, not sure sorry) and I have the right standards for high grades in English, but our teacher is unbelievably strict with grading and the highest I've got is a C but he has graded everybody with a C, so u just wanted to know if middle school grades matter and also I don't even know if there will be an epik program in 2025 which is the year I turn 21. Could you help me?
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.
Hello Melody! I enjoy all of your videos, and the recent one about the military guy.. he needs to stop!!! LoL!!
But I'll be applying to EPIK program soon and wanted to know have you had any problem with bugs or rodent? I would think not but sometimes you never know... Your place is nice and most of the tours given by others are nice... but I just wanted to get your take, or if you know of anyone that had a problem.
Thanks Again!
