I just want to say thank you so much everyone for watching my video! I really appreciate the support! I'm really happy I can be of some help (=
If you would like, it would mean so much if you could subscribe to my TH-cam: bit.ly/DaysTH-cam as well as support me on Instagram: instagram.com/daylightful
Thank you so much again and as always, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! Much love!!
i have a question do u get any hate for your race ? and how did u get a jo b ? do u speak korean?(im black btw)
There is some slight discrimination (people may judge you or look down on you), but I personally haven't gotten attacked for being black!
I applied through EPIK, and I am learning Korean while living here in Korea!
I did a Q&A video answering about Korea here;

And the EPIK application here;

Good luck and fighting!!
thank you so much
No problem! Good luck!!
how much does it cost you to live there? including the apartment tho b'coz i wanna study there and i really need to know the RIGHT budget for me😥😥
Hey! So your postcard says: "Hello! Even though we only met each other for a few days, it was definitely enough to get to know you. The time we spent together was very precious and hard to forget. I hope that in the future we can meet again in some other country!"
Wow thank you!! I really wanted to know what he wrote! That is so sweet of him! And super sweet of you for translating! Thank you!!
I am amazed you could read that post card from that little view, bravo.
Literally the window view is absolutely beautiful, especially at night. I would easily fall asleep to a gorgeous view like that with some soft music playing.
It's so relaxing~! I usually always play chill-hop or soft jazz at night so it's perfect for reading by the window~
First korean apartment that I’ve ever seen that I really like. Sooo beautiful !!!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it! (=
I agree so nice.
I enjoy these types of videos. It's a perfect size apartment for one, and the way it's decorated and set up is really nice. Keep up the fun and enjoying life, Day. And good luck with all the work you do. God bless yours and you! :)
Thank youuu! It's very nice for just one person, and also really relaxing for me.
You are welcome, hun. :)
This tour was so cute. As a black girl I love watching us vlog and live in other countries. It makes me want to travel too. Much love. And I just subscribed ❤️❤️💛💛
Yes!! Welcome to the fam!!
Where would you love to travel to?! (=
Anyone else obsessed with Pokemon? No? Just me? Lol thank you for watching as always!!
Daylightful Also, it looks like it's time to change your video description so it says you're in Korea.
Btw Do you have a P.O. box we can send things to?
Ooh good eye! I should do that!
And no I don't! Maybe if there is an interest I can! (= And thank you for your comments! 💛
Daylightful how much was you're furniture
Hm depends but the bed was around 300k and everything else was cheaper! I'd say the range is 70k-300k !
Daylightful yeah! I'd love to send some stickers. :)
Hope this helps!
Translation for the postcard in Chinese:
Hello. Even though we just got along for a few days, it is already long enough to know you. The time we spent together are very valuable and precious. Hope to meet you in other countries in the future.
Aaah thank you so much for translating!!
That's so sweet T_T Hope we can meet again soon too!
What's behind the mystery door in front of your bed? 😮
Shhh- It's top secret. So I can't let you know that 😱
(It's just for the AC vent lol)
SnowGlobe to Narnia!!!!
Your apt is so nice! It's interesting to see the variance of apartments that you get through EPIK. I'm a new teacher in Busan, and you gave me some ideas, especially the daily habits list/reminder :)
Oh Busan! Very nice! I really hope to make my way down there some time soon! I really love the habits list! It really helps me keep track of what I want to do each morning and night! Great way to stay healthy both physically and mentally!
You are literally living my dream life right now! I watched some of your older videos and found out that you’ve lived in many other countries. When I’m older, I want to teach English abroad as well... so these videos are super helpful and inspiring!! Thank you for sharing this with us 💕💕💕
The lights! That view! The bathroom decal! Your adorable living room! Oh gosh, Day, it's really nice. :) I'm happy you're all settled
Thank you!! The lights ahh! They're so fun haha!
Omg the view is so amazing 😍
Thanks girlie
Daylightful is this hongdae? Is it noisy when you try to sleep?
In Poland wearing shoes in the house is also considered rude and it’s not something people do even in their own houses.
Wow really? That is such a good idea I think! I wish the U.S. did that too. Wearing shoes in the house causes so much dirt to build-up lol
Daylightful sis most Americans don’t put on shoes in the house 🤧🤧 or maybe it’s because my parents are immigrants from Somalia but even at my white friend’s home we don’t wear shoes
In my household too but it's because shoes leave dirts, it's not even a cultural thing
We don’t wear shoes in the house either, I live in England ☺️ There are some people who leave their shoes on, but most people take them off!
I’m so glad I found your channel! I’ll be going to South Korea in July to teach English and your videos just make me even more excited ❤️❤️ this is such a cute and cozy apartment too!
Yay that's great to hear! Hope you can make it~!!
Such a nice room with an amazing view.. So jealous! :D
Thank you so much!! It's quite cozy!
Crazy! It's cool seeing your adventures. You used to be one of my regulars at Bar Louie and now you travel the world! Awesome
Haha please visit me sooon!!
I've been looking into teaching abroad since I graduate soon mostly because I want a cool opportunity to get money together to pay my loans back and watching all these videos from different countries is so exciting your view is so pretty
Thank you Renee! (Also I love your picture of Goku haha!)
You should definitely do it! It's a great way to pay off your loans!
What a view of the city! 🌃 beautiful! We’re moving to Korea next month! 👍
Really?! Where in Korea? (=
Your apartment is lovely but my favorite thing about it the view. Must be really nice waking up and falling asleep to that view 😍
It's definitely very relaxing ~~☆
Thank you for watching!!
I felt in love with the upper lights, I add them to the requirements of my dreamy house
Aw thanks, Sandra! They are perfect for winding down!
Your place is literally my dream home and the view at night plus a large window? *My freaking aesthetic like I’m so jealous😭*
Aw thanks!! The large window on the top floor is certainly a plus!
Hey Daycia! Your video came up in our suggested videos and I was like oh cool it's Day! I love your apartment, it's probably one of the nicer apartments that I've seen in Seoul. Also your view is great. I wouldn't want to live that high up but the trade off is you get an amazing view.
omg i love the apartment, and your style, and your little notes are so cute ((:
Aww thank you!
You're so welcome. You seem like such a sweet person (:
Wow brilliant apartment the more I see these videos like this makes me want to travel more and visit lol. I’m afraid though I’ve never taught before and I don’t know how to and I’m horrible with foreign languages ughh 🙄😓. But your place would be perfect for me it a great size and looks nice. Thank you for uploading I’m going to subscribe! Also is that a washer and dryer or do you have to hang your clothes to dry.
You should travel! Most of the world speaks English since English is the world-language! Learning another language can be really fun too and people will gladly help you out!!
Thank you for subscribing! I hang-dry my clothes!
You have THE best apartment! I'm going to apply to teach there in the future. I really hope that my apartment is like this!
Yeah I was very fortunate!!
the view is BEAUTIFUL
Thank you~!
Hey Day! I love the apartment tour :). The turn off gas reminder is something I definitely would do too haha!
Thank you, Clarissa! (= Haha right?! And sometimes I /still/ forget!
Your appt and the night view is KILLER 😍😍
Thank youuuuu!!!
Your apartment is so cute! Where is that desk from? the design is so pretty
Thank you!! I got it from a Korean site~
Love your apartment. So big and nicely furnished!
Thank you so much~~~
Looks so cute and comfy! I want my room like that 😂
Thank you ;w; it's so comfy!!
Wow! The view is awsome👍especially at night!
Your apartment looks really cozy:)
Thank you so much! It's extremely cozy!!
I really love your apartment! Like its such goals...
ahhh, I'm reapplying to EPIK to go for seoul and Ive been nervous about the housing, since I'm most likely going to an even smaller studio *cries through the pain*
So i've been looking at other peoples places and omg you have such a nice view and good size! Hoping for something like this, so this gives me hope #bless
I love your apartment! I'm actually seriously considering teaching English in Korea and doing some research. How do you like working through Epik? Did they organize getting you the apartment and did they pay the deposit? I'm asking because I want to know how much money I should save up while I'm getting my documents in order. Thanks!
Thank you! I like working through EPIK! It's a good way to get adjusted into Korea~ (= The school gets the apartment for you, and you have to pay 500k for a deposit but it comes out of your first paycheck!
EPIK strongly suggest you bring 1,000 USD for your first month! I also add more information in my Q&A video!
Hope it can help!
th-cam.com/video/oRvOvg6AM1U/w-d-xo.html
Daylightful wait, $500,000!? I must be interpreting that wrong? Is it 500k in Korean won or usd???
500k in won! So about $500.00 USD!
Daylightful oh thank goodness! Lmao i almost had a mini heart attack xD Beautiful apartment btw! Im so jealous of your view!!!
Whoops sorry about that ㅋㅋㅋ! Thank you for watching
delightful!!!
the veiw stunning!!!!
Really cool and super convenient. There's so many things wrong with my crappy American apartment.
Thank you~!! Yeah, it's quite interesting to see the quality of life in other countries compared to US!
Coming to Seoul soon with the family. Been over 15 years. Recommendations for places to visit, things to do (shopping & food) and places to stay for two week please ??❤️
Hongdae, Myeongdong, Namsan Tower, Insadong, Ikseondong are all great starters!!
Amazing apartment & phenomenal view!
Thank you~~
Your apartment is perfect for a single person ❤
I just discovered your channel and you seem like a very sweet person. Your apartment is gorgeous and the view is really amazing.
Aw!! That's so nice of you to say! ♡ Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video!
That view tho 💙💙💙💙
💛💛💛
Honestly you just won yourself a new subscriber, I mostly subcribe to people of color who teach in korea, so I can see what they have to go through
ok... can u just hold the frick up... you are so god damn adorable! your voice is so smooth and relaxing wow...
Wow such a dope room !
Thank you!!
Love your place!!!
So cool! I’d love to have a place like that!
Thank you!
It's the view for me 🤩🤩
I love your apartment it looks great!
Thank you~~~
Korea's heat is NOTHING like Houston, Texas!
I love your apartment ! And how you decorated it! I know it's only an apartment, but your video made my day lol. It makes me want to pursue my dreams and live in Korea ; ) ; ) ^^
Aw thank you so much!! I'm so happy to make your day!! Come to Korea one day! I am cheering you on!
When she said its day i was like but thats night lol
😂😂😂
Wow you really lucked out. It seems like most people end up in really small apartments when they teach in Seoul. 😁
Yes, I think so too!! It's always a hit or miss!
As this is the only apartment I've seen on YT that I like, I was wondering what part of Seoul you live/work in. And how far is it from home to school?
About 20 min walk!!
Hi everyone! A lot of you had questions about teaching in Korea and specifically Seoul! I finally made a new video answering a lot of your questions!
Please check it out here:
th-cam.com/video/oRvOvg6AM1U/w-d-xo.html
Hey, day! what does your hand made udon paper on your fridge say? I've been trying to hand make mine, but I usually give up and just buy pre made. great video, btw!
I’m wanting to move to korea soon too and was wondering how much is the monthly cost for your apartment? I want to get an idea of price ranges
woooww i really like your apartment.
Thank you Kim~!!
Wooooah. Nice apartment! Love ittt ❤
Thank you, love!
I legit freaked because I thought you said “Hey it’s Fei!”
Haha~!
Hi, great apartment, was wondering about the windows. Your on the 19th floor....does it have safety on the windows x
Hey, in a couple of years time i really want to work for epik, and maybe another company that bases in Japan. I was just wondering if you actually recommend EPIKs program, as i am somewhat sceptical and wish to have more people’s opinions before i make the choice. Thank you
Hi Ali! I personally really enjoy EPIK! However, it can really differ from person to person. EPIK is a great way to ease into Korea and Korea life. They give you a lot of information and provide you with things to help you come and adjust to Korea. But what works for some people doesn't work for others- so be open to that! I recently made a Q&A video explaining this in detail! (= I recommend checking it out!
Best of luck!!
I love your apartment so much! It’s my dream to have an apartment like this in Korea! I have a couple questions! How much was it, is it expensive compared to others? And do you have to work lots to pay it off? Or is it payed through the school? Also what school do you attend??
I didn't buy it! My school paid for it! I went through EPIK! (=
I'm so so curious to know what's behind the door next to your bed?
wow I'm so jealous of ur view lol! nice apt I love ittt😻😻👍👍
Thank you!!
How much does it cost for a month or a year ?? And how can I find an apartment for two people? Does your apartment available for two people to live?
Your view is insane!!
Thank you for liking it! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿
I love your apartment!
Thank you~
Nice view!!!
Thank you so much!
I like the view from you apartment 💖 it’s nice you had your bed by the window uwu
Thank you~~ it's definitely relaxing!♡
I know I’m super late but do u pick what city u teach in or are u randomly placed?
Wow she deserve 1 million subscribers
Aww thanks haha!
Hi. I enjoyed your video. I lived in Korea previously. Now I am considering moving back. Do you mind disclosing how much this apartment is and in what area of Seoul it is located?
I think the apartment is around $600! I am not sure exactly because the school pays for it! I live central-east of Seoul!
But what kind of website do you recommended for rent an apartment in Seoul?
I love the tour
Thank you for watching!!♡
gochujang (red pepper paste) should be kept in the refrigerator after opening ! :-)
Thank you! I keep it in the fridge now! (=
Nice outside view.
Thank you~
LOVE IT
THANKS!!
For this apartment what was the deposit? Also what area is it in?
With your first pay check was it enough for everything eg furniture, cellphone contract, fun and entertainment,traveling and house fees
Yes for sure!! Maybe you will have to save some money like traveling. I haven't done much traveling yet because I was building up my living situation but by the next one you should be able to travel for sure~ (=
why is there a door in front of the bed IM SO TRIGGERED PLEASE ANSWER
Shh - it's a dark dark secret~
nooooooooooooooooooo
REALLY need to know whats behind the door in-front of your bed...
Nothing special haha - just used as a vent for the AC lol
Wait...question do they provide the furniture and tv and stuff or do you buy that on your own?
depends!! mostly tv and washer
Honestly I'd leave reminders around the house as well ;w;
I just moved from this place. Miss it dearly!
Hye since u r in korea,why not trying buy coway brand air purifier..they have hepa filter,rbd plasma and haze mode..
Ooh I will keep that in mind! Haze mode sounds needed lol
Thank you!
what area in Seoul do you live and how much does your company pay for renting your place?
Omg your apartment is so cute! That big window with the view is GOALS
Thank you girllll!!
I heard you couldn’t choose the city/town you’re placed in, and it’s very rare to get Seoul. Did you just get lucky?
I made a video on my Seoul placement! It really depends!
Do you have any tips on reading Hangul at a normal pace
I definitely would say apps! Memorize them first through apps, then challenge yourself more by reading other things (from words to sentences). TH-cam videos are great too!
Daylightful thank you!
This may sound like a dumb question but are there houses w/ carpet in Korea? So far none of the ones I've seen have
Haha there are never any dumb questions! :D Carpets aren't a thing in Korea. Especially since most wooden floors are all heated anyway!
Daylightful Ahh okay that makes since lol & I did not know they could be heated.🤔 Thanks girl
No problem love
are you vegan/vegetarian?! i wanna go teach there but i feel like i won’t have options.
Holy shit that's a nice view, I would love sleeping next to that window so much
Thank you~!! The window is a huge plus!
Excuse me but could you tell me the name of this apartment? When I go to seoul I want to stay there 😊😊
Did you know how the speak Korean before you moved there ?
Is your apartment close to your school? Does your school usually picks the apartment based on location?
Yup! I can walk to school, and yes! They do!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
No problem!!
😍😍😍Woaaa I want to live in an apartment like this one 😍😍😍😍
♡♡♡ happy you like it!
I've decided to teach English in Korea beginning in a couple months but doubt I will be able to get placed in Seoul or nearby through Epik since I'm beginning this late. My preference would definitely be to live in Seoul though. Wondering if any of you folks have insight on if you'd rather go the hagwon route if you could ensure living in Seoul or would rather capitalize on the advantages of Epik (no hagwon horror stories, set pay and hours, about an extra 7-10 days vacation) while ending up in maybe a not so lovely town in Korea. Obviously Daylightful's situation would be ideal but it seems impossible for me to be able to teach Epik in Seoul since I won't be getting my application in until mid to late June. Thoughts?
I personally would still apply through EPIK. You can do a hagwon but you run the risk of it not being as stable. The support you get from EPIK and all the other native English teacher friends you will make makes such a huge difference. You will be surrounded by constant support and stability.
And who knows! You may end up in Seoul through EPIK! I applied super late too! (= But why are you waiting to get your application in?
Well I only really made the decision about 4 weeks ago to actually pursue this. I had had the idea for a while but only recently pulled the trigger and started researching all the ins and outs of the application process. I also realized around that time that my passport was gone, so I had to apply for a new one. I had been under the impression until recently that you needed all your documents in order (fbi check and apostilles and all that) before you applied. I guess I was misguided on that front. However, I don't know if I could have applied without my passport and passport number, which the Epik application does ask for. So I figured I'd hold off until I got my passport and in the mean time, I'd begin gathering all my other docs (just need my diploma and fbi check apostilled now). My passport actually just arrived last evening, so I'll be submitting my app tonight :)
Also thanks for your insight on my initial question... much appreciated! How late did you apply?
Oh great to hear your passport arrived! Good luck on the app and the entire process! It's smart you are starting early with the docs too (= (trust me haha)!
For Spring 2018- most people applied in September but I applied in December. My docs officially finished getting in in February! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Your apartment is cute😊 new sub here!!
Aw thank you love! And welcome!
How long have you been there? 💕✨
