Hey Gorgeous Girlies🌻
My name is Alex and I am an English teacher living in Seoul, South Korea. I was previously a teacher with EPIK in Daegu, spent 1 year travelling the world, and am now teaching at a Hagwon in Seoul. I made this channel primarily to show my family and friends back home what I am up to, however, sprinkled in between are helpful tips for living as a foreigner in Korea too!
If you have any questions regarding solo travelling, my life in South Korea, or anything to do with me then don’t be afraid to ask! I'm more likely to respond on Instagram so give me a follow/message over there :)

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbboy if you dont
Hi Alex- My name is Janet McNeal- From North Carolina, USA. I need to know the best hagwon in South Korea. I need the link or information for the green list of approved Hagwon to apply to. I am a licensed high school teacher in NC. Is there any openings in your school or others you know about? I want to start August/Sept 2025- this year. Anything will help- thank you. I dm on Instagram....
leave asia u dont belong in asia
As a asian im really disgusted, Can you leave asia and asian countries alone and respect us?? If ur gay stop trying to normalize it and do whatever tf u want
how are you doing? new subscriber hope your well happy whether single or with a great male partner
You’re videos are honestly the best. I’m just waiting for my EPIK application to open. You’re videos are so helpful as well and it helps me keep calm and not be too nervous, which I have been for several months now. But everything you have spoken about and shown makes it so much easier for me to see how I will cope with myself whilst in Korea. We both also have the same preference, I want to choose Daegu as well for my placement. I shall continue watching more of your EPIK videos to be more aware what to expect and prepare for.
Wow. This is a really sweet message that made me smile! Best of luck with your application and if you need any help or advice, don't hesitate to ask. I'm glad my videos can be of help to you :)
How you exactly get chance to teach in South korea can you make more detailed vedio
Any updates you might add?
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO GO THERE FILIPINO HERE
Hi girly! I am solo travelling to SKorea end of Jan/Feb and am really keen on visiting Jeju for around 3/4 days. I plan to spend most of my time hiking and I'm just going to stay in spot instead of moving around. Where do you recommend I base myself? Thank you so much for your vid gorgeous girly I loved it x
Hi, love your video! I actually have like 2 days to decide if i am going there or not... im so scared and stressed out lol. other factors are in play though but i guess the main one is i am doubting myself as to whether or not i will actually be able to do the job properly. Just not sure if its nerves or if id actually be a good teacher because i have no experience with kids at all. Would you say that the schools help you out, and get you properly settled into the job at first so that you know what you are doing?
See you around in homo hill😊
What date did you visit?
Hello, I am looking to maybe applying through Epik. Are you the main teacher teaching? Are you like an assistant co-teacher?? I’m not sure if there is options.
Why are you gei?
😃Wow thanks for an informative video.
This video re-instilled my hopefulness for finding a teaching job in Korea with a positive experience attached. Your students are so lucky to have you as their teacher!
Sis, you took the first 3 mins to repeat the same thing over and over again lol.
There are no laws in Korea that protect or support gay people, but there are also no laws that arrest someone for being gay. It's also rare to see people showing affection in public, but even if they do, while it's not 100% guaranteed, it's highly unlikely that anyone would attack them.
Your energy is contagious ❤🎉🎉
Hello , so I'm an Indian and I'm also completed my graduation in B.A ( education Honours) and I have my TEFL certificate, So am i eligible for epik teacher now or there need any other certificate?
hi, thankyou for the great video. can you negotiate on getting longer holiday or working part-time?
plot twist it’s an ad for epik 😂😂 because you sold me
We haven't heard from him since he upladed this video lol what happened?
Hahahaha I'm still here in Korea! Life just got very busy - that's all :)
Guurl you content is top tier👌🏾 I’m binging your content and I’ve come to realize that you are very detailed and from all the videos I’ve been watching you answer all of the questions I’ve been asking myself for years before I applied to EPIK. I hope your channel grows❤ I have applied with EPIK directly and I don’t have a good feeling about it tbh😣 I’ve made so many mistakes. Funny thing not on my Essays and lesson plans but the personal details😫 I’m just hoping they not gonna reject me based on that🥺
Was it cold in winter?
Your job at EPIK may have been discontinued.
What do you mean by that?
Alex! So hope you come back soon! I reached out on Instagram but you may have moved onto bigger and better things! Wish you well!
Such a free spirit spreading good vibes, happiness and loveeee 🫡
hi! are there any LGBTQ+ (openly) venues known about in busan?
thankyou so so much for making these videos! I am going to be applying in the next couple of months through EPIK and you have helped me enormously! so excited for you and your new journey in a Hagwon! Im currently in the UK and it's been my dream to move to South Korea and teach English and watching your videos has made me feel so much more at ease and motivated to just do it! So thank you :)
Literally on the same boat as you, except im in Ireland, just love seeing like minded people on the comment section!! i will be there December
@@kaylacasey8296 best of luck! I’m hoping to be there in late summer/early autumn next year!
Hi Do the accept Advanced Diploma Certificate?
thankyou for this video! you have helped me so much!
Hi! I’m Daegu! I like your video, next days I’ll try to hiking as you did! 😅😊
What would you say you spend on an average month? What do you manage to save? Thanks x
Great video! Well put together and very informative. Thank you :)
Hello Alex, What is the tax cut they have before the final package for hogwon teachers?
Yaaaaay!! I'm so excited to see you back teaching in Korea! Can't wait for your new videos. <3
"Everyday is pride when you're gay" is my new motto
I just secrued a position through EPIK! are there any websites or blog posts that talk about being a first time expat? Basically advice about banks, travel, what to bring, etc.
Looking forward to seeing your new edu- ventures! Best of luck!
Hi alex, would it be okay if I email you some questions and get your feedback? I am very interested in teaching in Korean and am a bit overwhelmed by the all the information. Your videos really resonate with me
Can we be friends I’m a photographer/influencer in Nj near nyc about to start teaching in Korea this November.
The way you say waygugin is kinda funny to me😂😂😂 wishing you the best your second time in KR and welcome back!!💕
the west is def doomed lol
Hi, I'm in South Africa, and I do have all my documents ready for visa application, I've been trying out recruiters , Dave's ESL Cafe, Facebook even Apple tree recruiters, still no luck, I need assistance
Did you find something
I passed my interview with EPIK and I'm at the document sending process! I hope i get Jeju! Thank you for your videos, they help a lot!
Have you arrived yet, or are you still waiting?
I’m here after getting rejected from EPIK lol
Hi Alex! I sent you a DM on insta, I have some questions about EPIK vs Private!
