- i survived my first week in Seoul! 😭🥳🌦
- i think that sentence alone could be the highlight of this video... it's just that, things were not as smooth as i expected, and even after so many preparations + research, i still felt so overwhelmed. but as my closest ones kept saying, i shouldn't be too hard on myself and take my time instead.
and guess what... leaving Hong Kong didn't make me 100% happy (like, i didn't have a yay-finally-im-out moment). not gonna lie i found myself missing my HK life so often :') but i guess it's just part of me transitioning to a new environment.
so for now, i'll move forward and live my Seoul life to the fullest - despite the difficult situations, awkward moments for not speaking fluent Korean, and busy school life... i fully realized how blessed i am to be here. and in between, i will keep missing Hong Kong & my family there (and in Indo)!
lastly, i've received so many messages from some of you, wishing me luck & sharing my happiness - i couldn't be more thankful :') all love guys!
Sheren
ps: shoutout to my HK fam (daz stef sunz jens xel) for helping me & sending me off, and to the ones on the other side of the world (tin & man) for being there even from miles away. lov u guys sm :(

Really Welcome to my country , Seoul , South Korea ^^~ ♥ ~
In particular, Seoul, especially in Seoul, there are quite a lot of places that are less known to Koreans in the world.
=> Seoul's unique and beautiful night view, which is the only one on TH-cam that has been described in 14 languages
@@user-zu1rc9hc8b 추천해줘서 고마워요!! i will try to visit all of them :)
If you want a short getaway from the city, go for a one day trip to Suwon! It only takes about 30 minutes from Seoul station. I had a great time visiting Hwaseong Haenggung Palace (you can rent pretty hanbok and take cute pics :3!), Hwaseong Fortress, and the Museum of Art. There are so many nice cafes as well!
Have a nice journey in Korea~
I cheer your boldness to move to a different country and start new. The feelings you have are natural. It can be overwhelming and everyone coming to Korea experiences it. Those feelings will subside in time and remember, your Korean experience is what you make of it. I wish you luck and hope you have a wonderful chapter.
ahh thank you for the kind words :') yes honestly starting new is something that's definitely forcing me to go out of my comfort zone (ie. HK life), so yeah i really hope to make the most out of my student life in Korea. thanks again for writing this to me, you too take care.
Many new paths and new choices. You are not waiting for the challenges, but rather engaging them when you decide. It will make you sharper in the end. Strive and overcome. Happy New Year!
thank you Kiyoshi! much appreciated. :) and happy new year to you too!!
Such beautiful gift your HK friends made for you!! 🥺 I think you most definitely are handling everything like a pro… don’t underestimate yourself. Good luck! 🫶🏻
i know right… they’re the best 😭 and honestly i’m always the weakest whenever I receive message/cards…. hahah also thank you!! i do feel like i should give myself a better appreciation :’) thanks for this much love!!!
I love your videos, whether it's in HK or Korea, you are doing an amazing job documenting. Yes, the transition will have some tough days but you look like you needed a change and starting this new life in Seoul will be so exciting for us viewers to watch....living vicariously hahaha. 🤣 Take good care of yourself and don't be so hard on yourself too.
thanks Joanne! hahah im still figuring out how to document my seoul days better :') yes i feel like i'm scared but excited at the same time, tbh it's a really good thing for me at least! thank youu for the reminder i really appreciate it!!!
Been watching your hk vlogs for so long and always been a fan. I'm looking forward for u to share your new journey in Korea. I'm soo happy for you. You got this! 😊
that's so sweet of you - thank you!! :') i appreciate this so much. you too, take care always! x
Silent subs here. And this vid made me leave a comment. I watched all ur vids from u old tiny apartment moving to new one. How u explore Hongkong and ur quick vacation exploring Indonesia with ur fam. Now it’s a new journey for you and can’t wait ti watch more vids of u on how u live ur life alone in new beautiful country. Goodbye Hongkong hello Korea.
Ps. I’m a huge fan of u.
whoa- thank you Abie! appreciate you for writing this to me :’) hahah and yes it seems like you’ve really been there for quite some time… thank you!! ><
i also cant wait to share more, but it’s pretty overwhelming right now… but feel free to suggest me what type of vids i should do here^^ i hope i’ll be back soon! until then, take care always! and thank you again for the love. :)
Im so glad I found your video. Seeing you start somewhere new makes me excited for the next chapter in my life. I'm studying abroad in South Korea in June 2023 for the summer. I can't wait
aww i'm also glad that you wrote this to me so now i know im not alone (ie. in starting somewhere new)!! so happy that you have something to look forward to next year :))
Hey Sher, the intro to this video is amazing! Looking forward to your updates from Seoul, it's been on my 'to visit' list since arriving in HK four years ago, so hoping to finally get there in 2023. Enjoy!
THANK YOUUU :D i spent quite some time on the intro part cuz i felt like i had to do it as a farewell for HK and as a start of Seoul journey... a bit emotional too while editing it hahaha :') and yes hopefully your Seoul trip will go as planned next year~! take care
Hey I just found your video, as I moved to Busan, South Korea 6 days ago to teach English. Hearing how you were feeling has helped me because I feel like these last 6 days have been some of the craziest most emotional and stressful days I've ever been through. I have friends, family and a boyfriend back home in the UK but I wanted to make a change in my life and push myself to move out somewhere on my own. Getting here I'm questioning if this was the right decision, if I should go home, and if I will be happy here. So thankyou for sharing your journey, I'm going to keep watching your other vlogs to see if things get easier for you and I really hope they do! I hope they get easier for me too.
thanks for sharing, Lydia! and kudos to you for moving to somewhere on the other side, to start a new journey :)
for me, life is definitely getting better but not gonna lie, there are some moments that i've also questioned the same (mostly, why am i here) - but most of the time, i'm glad i took the chance to live here.
i hope you've been doing ok these days and that things get easier for you! take careee!
ps - i will visit Busan in less than 2 weeks actually!!! so excited hahahaa
All the best to you, sheren! We’ll be around to support youu
this is just so sweet…. thank you Joude 😭❤️ I appreciate it so much
i just found out your channel and your vlogs are so therapeutic.please never stop making them
omg youre too kind… this really made me emotional hahaha thank you!!🥺 i think i’ll go back to your comment whenever im feeling down/demotivated huhu
@@sherendev no honestly I wonder how are so so underrated.Your videos are making my day
Hi! I am subscribing and looking forward to seeing your journey from the perspective of a student from Hong Kong going to S. Korea. I've watched so many, but most have been American students. I'm just an old, disabled grandma who enjoys watching young people living in Korea, something I, at your age, would never have had the confidence to do. I am so glad you didn't have to go through quarantine...at least not that I saw. Best of luck on your journey and I will be watching from afar! ARMY grandma
hello Kimmy! thank you for writing this to me - your message is warm and it made my day honestly. i feel like i'm not 100% brave or confident in whatever i'm doing, but everytime i read such a heartwarming comment like this, i feel like i can keep going. :) so thank you!! take care always x
ps: maybe someday i'll visit HYBE building & show what's in there :D
hey so the thing is....I just moved into this video as some normal vlog but...that intro. I just finished the intro monologue part and you're so good with the camera and mood. Your cinematography instantly won me over giirlll. I'll look forward to watchin' this video and the rest of yours
😳 reallyy nooo thank you!!! hahah im still learning tbh :’) but yeah that intro was edited when i was so emo about leaving my 2nd home. Im glad you liked it,, youre too kind!!
Sher, good luck for your new chapter of life in Seoul!
P.s. really love the opening part, so heartwarming.
thank youuu Fili!
finally!! i love this 😭🫶🏼
tbh i felt the same too... like finally! hahah i feel like this is long overdue :') thank you sm Alaina
This is such a motivational video ♡
Loved the whole vlog ʚ🍓ɞ
ohh im so happy that you thought so >< didn’t think i’d motivate anyone huhu thank youuu!!
I'm so excited to follow along on your journey! I started following your channel because I used to live in HK and I miss it, but I happen to be moving to a suburb outside of Seoul in a couple of months!
ohhh really :') thank you Allison i appreciate it a lot! ♡ and i'm excited for you as well - are you here for study or work?
@@sherendev for work! I'll be working for a company that produces musicals for children who are learning to speak English!
oh wow that's really cool :O goodluck!! hope everything goes well :))
Hi Sher,
I have been watching your video for a long time, I think since 2 years ago back in 2021. But life gets me and I kind of forget about your vids and now I am planning a vacation to HK and I remember you. But WOW I am so surprised that you have moved out and start new in SK. Now I've been watching your video since an hour ago and finally decided to subscribe to your channel so I won't be missing out lol. Funny thing is yeah I could relate a lot to your thoughts at your birthday video, especially the "be kinder to your mind/self" message. And the funnier thing is that I've been thinking to move out from Indo and start new somewhere else more often these days, and Seoul is the one place that keeps popping out in my brain and you moved there!
And I am even more surprised you take the MBA program at SNU. I know MBA is one of the hardest program to get into, I myself wanna get an MBA but apparently I gave up on it long ago lol. If you don't mind to share, is the MBA program in SK is "relatively" easier to get into vs MBA in the US? And how about the cost and the scholarships? Probably I will do some searching after I post this comment (because as of now I genuinely have no idea lol) but I hope you wouldn't mind to share your experience! Thanks Sher and good luck for your next chapter and I hope it will be fulfilled by more better things than worse!
omg hi and thank you for writing this to me :') yeah it's been quite a journey, right... 5 months now and i'm still missing HK life. moving to a new place is really difficult because once again we're forced to adapt & adjust, but if you have a chance or are thinking about it, i think it'll be one of the best ways to grow & learn (about ourselves!). :D
for the MBA, yeah tbh i think it's relatively easier compared to USA or Canada univs because GMAT is optional for the application here. Other than that, i just relied completely on my CV, personal statement and transcript (though i dont think undergrad transcript matters). I applied for the scholarship directly to SNU biz school, but i heard the Korean Govt also provides scholarship quotas (just that it's very competitive). hope it helps and if you still wanna ask some Qs, pls feel free! :D
ps: thank you again for writing this to me, i'd always love it when someone takes the time to write a comment like this hehe :3 you take care!
your friends are so sweet
hope youre doing well in your new journey! ❤
thank you Hanna! ❤ you too take care :)) much love
yay!! Selalu suka sama videonya ka sheren, semangatt buat kuliah MBA nya kaa ditungguu next video🤩🤗
omo thankyou cindyyy🥰 hehe semogaa bs segera upload :’)
Hi Sheren, glad to know you are well done in Korea! Know that you’re going to thrive in your next role as you’re a great student! Best of luck and be happy! I know some in here will agree with me to support you always.. Jia You 💪
thank you!! i appreciate this a lot :') not gonna lie sometimes it's pretty hard to think positively, especially when things are so overwhelming... hahah but yeah hopefully i'll settle down well here. thanks again and you too, take care!!
I love your video Sher, enjoy your journey in Korea. Keep update!
thanks Erika!! this means a lot to me :') i'll try my best to update more often hehe
I saw a random recommendation on TH-cam and glad I clicked on it. I will be binge watching you for awhile =)

You got thiss sher! Very nifty series title ah. Seoul searching... I see what you did there. 👀👀🤣🤣 Enjoyed ebery bit of the bideo. Keep us updated. Cant wait for new episode (now better call saul is over I dont have any episode to look forward to) Maybe seoul is where you'll also find not only your seoul but also your seoul-mate 😉
THANK YOU cuz i spent a lot of time thinking about the series title hahaha 🤣 and when it comes to seoul-mate, you & liem will be the first to know for sure ;D im gonna wait for u guys to visit me okkk
Keep smiling Sheren! You are doing great. I have only been to Seoul once for a week, didn’t really enjoy it as I was with a tour group. 😂
hehe thank you!! :) and yeah usually solo trip or going with small group of friends will result in a better experience.... hopefully soon you'll visit Seoul again~ :D
omg 😳 i can’t believe you came to korea
i really look forward to your new videos in seoul
and my recommendation is 서촌(sechon)
you can enjoy korean own mood? in seochon
hahaha yeah i've been planning about this for about a year... :') i'm still not sure of what kind of videos in seoul i should make to honest ;-;
and thank youu for the recomendation, i looked it up so basically 서촌 is mainly known for its seafood... :O i will put it on my list~!
Have a wonderful new adventure in Korea !
thank youu :D you too take care
Thanks for your sharing in South Korea. You are not alone 💪
hahah thank youu for dropping by :))
Have blessed life and great place to move in friend.
WAAAA CONGRATULATIONS KAK!!!!!
AAAA THANKYOUUU!! :’)
Hi Sheren, so sad to see you leave HK.(which I am still living in). I see you are going through another round of culture shock. Anyways, you are young enough to get through this once you start settling down (old people like me not so. hehe) Since your goal in life is to do something new which I respect. Good luck!
Thank you Keith :) to be honest it's not easy for me to leave HK too (after all it's my 2nd home), but I think I'll move forward for now and experience new things in other places. And yes, thank you, can't wait till I fully settle down here :D
Goodluck ren for the new adventure ! MBA soon ✌🙌
thank you for always supporting & wishing me well, ko!! hopefully korea trip soon? 😆🫶
@@sherendev sure you well 🤗. Hopefully soon ren 🥺
I am crying and enjoying at same time. I just explored something new...
what why are you crying.. hahahah but thank you, glad you enjoyed the video
@@sherendev in start you said about your hardships and you were crying so i also cried with you
Good luck with the new chapter
thank you!! :) you too take care always
take care always ❤
i will, thank youu
You're so pretty! I was shocked when you said your age, I thought you were 16~19 years old!!
nooo thank you 🥺 hahaha omgg 16 is too muchhh that’s like more than a decade ago :’) but yea i get told a lot that i look like a kid…. Hahahah
Lol I can't believe you actually made me stop watching what I was watching to watch your videos,Idk why I didn't get a notification cause I did click on it, anyway,once again awesome video, your view most definitely look nice,so you didn't tell us what you studying and how long you studying there,I hope you the best in life in your time in South Korea,also you should be proud of your achievements,to study in two different countries and all doing on your own is something that's very inspiring to everyone who follow you, I'm sure I'm not your only subscriber who feel this way about you,you living in south Korea is going to be different for me cause one of the reasons I followed you was cause I'm actually someone who loved Hong Kong as a country I always wanted to go,in 2019 I actually set that as my goal to go for a weekend to Hong Kong in 2020 but the virus cancel my plans,but one day I will seeing I'm following the Hong Kong premier league,who knows maybe you see me as a coach there you never know 🤭,but anyway,yes I will still be following you and be loyal to you,funny thing is you the only TH-camr I actually follow seeing I'm whole day on TH-cam,but like me and everyone said we wishing you the best of luck in your new journey 🤜🤛
ok wow this is a long one hahah but THANK YOU! i read this carefully and i really do appreciate you writing this to me, and for your constant support :) i hope all your plans will also come true even though some will take a longer time. Thanks again and you too take care!
Hello, my friend, nice to meet you, I hope you are always healthy and happy
ohhh sheren you are so brave ....
nooo not really :') i'm just trying to be, for the sake of chasing my dreams hehe
@@sherendev awwww ... goodluck sheren I know you can do it ❤️

Welcome to Korea 🥰
thank youuuu~^^ so happy to be here!
Greetings from Jeju island 🏝
Been living in Korea 🇰🇷 almost 3 years now
Hopefully you like it!
thanks a lot, and hello from Seoul! :)) cant wait to visit Jeju soon~^^ if you also have recommended places to visit in Jeju, pls let me know:)
@@sherendev heyy awesome
I lived in Seoul 2 years prior to coming to Jeju. There are so many things in Jeju so it depends which part you go.
In Jeju definitely recommend visiting UDO island, snoopy garden, Mt. Sanbansang, yakcheonsa temple, sunrise mt, etc.
thank youuu i will definitely check them out! :))
Thanks for this
thanks for watching! :D
While in Korea, you should visit Panmunjom Joint Security Area of the DMZ, where you can see North Korea. Let me know how it is South Korea 🇰🇷 🇰🇵
whoa thanksss and yeah that’s been on my bucket list too! Probably i’ll visit during my school break :D
당신의 삶을 응원합니다
👏👏👏👏👏👏
아 진심으로 감사합니다!! ㅠㅠ i hope you’re doing well too.

Are staying in drom than can h show us your drom ur taking undergraduate degree or graduate??
Unfortunately i didn’t get accepted to the dorm so i couldn’t show it. I stay off campus
hi, this is the first time i'm watching a video of yours and i really enjoyed it! a question popped into my head though... i'm not sure what nationality you are, and i'm not meaning to sound insensitive when i generalize and say you're east asian looking / could be "korean passing" (but you're obviously not korean), and are not fluent in korean. do the people you talk to in korean understand you're a foreigner and tell you things like "wow you're korean is so good" like they would tell a white/black person speaking korean? or are they assuming you're able to speak korean based on your looks?
i probably phrased this awfully but hope you can understand what i mean ._.
hellooo thank you and nice to e-meet you!
i got what you meant, don't worry :) so actually people would talk to me in korean first, then i'd reply in korean if i can (ie. simple phrases like, do you need a plastic bag; to go or eat here). if it requires a legit conversation, i'd usually try to speak in broken korean LOL and explain that i'm not fluent yet; then they'd say "한국어 잘 하시네!" (your korean is good).
so yeah they will assume i can speak the language at first, it's similar to when i lived in HK too, they just straight up spoke to me in cantonese hahaha
Are you studying in seoul through global korea scholarship please tell me unnie 😢😊❤ and yes u r so pretty I love Youu please answer my question
hii! i didn't apply for GKS, i applied directly to SNU :)
Good luck!! So happy for you that you've started a new Chapter.
No worries, am sure you will get to use with your new life in Korea and will meet lots of new friends soon.
thank youuu Christine!! ❤ ahh i hope so too, i think it'll take quite a while for me to settle but regardless, i'm very excited. :') thanks again & you too take care!! x
@@sherendev Looking forward to your next update video.
You have cool friends, nice vlog
hahah yes i do!! :) thank youuu
Hi ❤ may I know is your MBA courses are being taught in English or Korean ?
hellooo! my program is the global MBA so it’s full in english :) some courses are available in korean/english tho if you want to take the korean ones
I see. I’m from HK and planning to take MBA in SNU . Did you apply any scholarship for your studies ?
OHH? Fellow hongkonger!! 😁 yes i did apply and got a scholarship, it’s just a luck i guess… thought i wouldnt get any hehe
If I’m not mistaken the Global MBA does not require TOPIK 6 level right ? I’m thinking to apply as well ! Hope to see you there !
yeah no, only ielts or toefl is required :)) i haven't even done my topik prep yet. as long as it's global mba, then it should be ok i think. good luckkk for the application!!! we can be seoul buddies when you're here :D
🥺
Oh my! Welcome to Seoul haha
ahaha thank you!! :D dont hesitate to give me some place or resto recommendation :)
Keren👍👍
Hi, I met your channel by chance and feel you may have some difficulty to adjust to life in Seoul. Living alone as foreigner in unfamiliar city is not easy till you make a new friend in your school life. If you allow me to be your friend for a while until you get your new friend, I would like to help your adjustment in Korea on line or offline. I am not fluent in English and just use it as second language but I could help you as your interpreter when you need in daily life. Of course, there is nothing for you to pay or compensate for my time. Whatever you believe or not, I mean it. If you don’t want, I will remain as one of your introverted subscriber. Hope you enjoy peaceful and happy life in Seoul.
Nice city
