⭐ABOUT ME⭐
Hi hi! My name is Anna but you might know me better as annainseoul through Tiktok or the Korean convenience store girl (hahahah). As my username states, I'm currently based in Seoul, South Korea so on my channel, you'll see loads of videos pertaining to daily life in Korea.
I'll be posting similar content that I post on Tiktok (but in a longer format). So expect to see

I hope you guys stick around and enjoy~ :3
I want to experience living alone in a foreign country but precisely this is why I’m more scare of, loneliness and not having my family close to me, but deep down it’s something I really want so I will have to sacrifice this for my own future…. Thank you for speaking about it, and let us know that beside everything, it’s worthy to do it ❤❤❤❤❤
Wait until you get my age and your family members start dying off. I lost my mother, father, uncle, and 2 aunties in a 3-year period and I'm turning 38 this month.
Virtual hugs to you Anna! Thank you for being so vulnerable. I came from Tiktok. Love your content. 💖
Thank youuu 🥹🥹💛
You are allowed to feel loneliness, depression and sadness. Just because you have a following doesn’t mean you are any less human! Sending the BIGGEST virtual hugs! 🫂 I will keep you in my prayers. This is just a season in your life. Enjoying one’s presence is truly a blessing and can make you view life so different.
WOW she said consistency! ❤
I SURE DID 🫡🫡
it’s really refreshing and comforting honestly to hear that from you, someone who i really look up to and admire how you have your shit together-we’re all human, and loneliness is just one of those things we gotta get through together. but with you opening up, it feels like we’re not alone in combatting it! i appreciate your vulnerability in this video ❤
Anna!!! don't belittle your own feelings :( you feeling this way is completely valid, even if you have a big platform and have friends around you etc, everyone can experience loneliness because like at the end of the day it really is you in korea by yourself, and it is completely valid and understandable for you to be feeling this way. YOU'RE DOING AMAZING BTW AND I'M SO SO PROUD OF YOU, i know for a fact, as someone who supports you, wouldn't mind if you needed to rant here and there to get things off your chest because holding them in is even worse and we'll support you all the time! ily btw keep going!!!!!!!!!!!! 💕💕
Omg thank youuu 🥹 so thankful for supporters like you 😭💛
@@annainseoul OFC!!! i think it's important that you have a way to express how you truly feel and not keep it in :( you're probably one of the most authentic creators i've come across and it's totally normal for us as humans to feel normal emotions like loneliness and im so sorry that you even have to deal with that feeling!! sending lots of hugs anna!!
There are moments when you're surrounded by everyone you want to be with but inside you feel alone. It's scary. There are also those times when you're alone and you just stare at the wall and you're completely happy in that moment. Thank you for sharing this.
알겠습니다. 💯👆🏽🦋💐🫂
Thank you so much Anna for sharing. It really hit home when you said you can be by with friends and still be lonely. I completely get that.
Great video Anna. I know where you're coming from. I am moving out of Seoul to go and live in the countryside so watching your video prepared me again for loneliness that will come with that journey. As you said, being alone and lonely are different things. I hope everyone in the same situation can cultivate the mental toughness and not be afraid of being alone.
This was something I needed to see! I'm planning to move to Korea in a year and so scared about the loneliness!! Thank you so much!!!
tbh wasn't expecting too see a content like this from you.. you're totally right we could literally be surrounded by people and yet feel lonely. i hope things get better by time
Loneliness is something I've been struggling a lot in the past few years, so seeing that you have similar experience made me feel a little better. I'm also working on trying to become my own best friend, as I realized that most of my desire for social interactions comes from wanting to avoid being by myself all the time and dealing with my own thoughts. Comfort in solitude is not easy to achieve, but you should never belittle your feelings just because some people "may have it worse". Especially with loneliness, it's so weird that we can still feel it while being surrounded by people, but that doesn't mean we're not allowed to feel this way.
i LOVE being alone, but also wish i had one friend to enjoy just random things once in a while :(
I get you. In the opposite way. I feel extremely lonely the most when I am surrounded by my friends. Having the feeling to not fit in.
Loneliness comes in many shapes and forms and I think it’s extremely considerate of yours to not talk about because you are aware of the situations of other. But they are not in a worse situation particularly. You and your feelings are just as important and valuable. And if you want to talk about or express it into the void of your following you have every right to do so! I hope you are doing okay, much love!
Anna, thank you for keeping it real!!! A lot of content creators do not talk about the loneliness of being an expat and finding a sense of community. Many don't want to share that feeling with family and friends because they don't want them to worry. Yet, you're not staying true to your own feelings. The ramble at the end was just your true feeling coming out and it's appreciated.
**Also I've been off TikTok for a while. When did you start working at a Cafe? LOL, I've missed a lot!***
I think it's great that you share this side of you and your experiences living abroad on your own. People go through similar things but your experiences are different so no need to feel bad or ungrateful for your circumstances. I'm in a similar situation in Singapore and am currently going through similar emotions and feelings. Would love longer form content from you, love the way you narrate and storytell (happy to listen to you for 30mins+)
Honestly commenting cause the little snowman you made was SO CUTE and made me happy!! Love your content Anna! Honestly expressing how you feel is totally valid despite your privilege!! :)
I'd like to see more videos of you working in that cafe 😊
Those clips were from around two years ago when I first came to Korea to try out baking 😅
@@annainseoul 😂😂😂 oh okay !!
Keep going love ur videos
this is so realistic, i 100% relate with what you feel. i have friends and relatives here but making it feel truly like home, where i used to grow up, is not easy
I can relate to the feeling you described about "ungratefulness". You dream and prepare moving un a new country, for me it was a dream of many years. So when you feel down and very sad because you don't have your family, it is an internal st4uggle between your past self that wanted that so bad and your present self experiencing bad feelings. Truth is it's not even loneliness the issue sometimes, you meet new people in this new country, you facetime family and friends regularly... but what you miss is comfort of things you know around you. Knowing also you can just drive to friend or a relatives home whenever. Easy comforting. It is hard to tell ourselves that there can be negative sides to something we've wanted so bad for do long. Let's not forget also that a feeling is always valid! You have the right to feel sad and lonely even when you are "privileged". We are humans!
This is a really great video and has great food for though which a lot of people I think never really consider. Very profound ❤
Thank you for your honesty it is so refreshing. I absolutely loved this longer format ♥️
That "Go little rockstar" interlude is f***ing hilarious!!! I played it over and over and searched it and found it's a real song. But it's really POPE IS A ROCKSTAR! if you check the lyrics.
Thanks for sharing your vulnerability, Anna 💕 love watching your tiktok vids and excited for your new journey here on RUclips. Also, did you open a cafe???
Thank youuu and nope! Those clips are from two years ago when I first moved over to Korea to try baking 😅
This was me when I lived in Korea. I would FaceTime everyday with my family and friends but even then I still felt lonely. I was around so many people but even then I was still sad. But I could never express my emotions with my loved ones because I did not want them to get worried when they are already worried about me being in a foreign country all on my own as a uni student. So you are not alone and I am glad you spoke out about it because with other influencers they never show that side and I always wondered if they ever did feel lonely. But thank you for being real about this topic. 💕
This helped me so much, I didn't even know I needed it until I saw your video. Thank you x
You are really brave to go to a new country alone! But I think it's still another way of understanding ourselves better...but hope you will adapt and make the new environment your home ☺️ thanks for sharing, much love from Singapore 💕
This is really comforting
I think moments of loneliness is necessary if not inevitable. You can learn from it by working out emotions you didn’t realize were there. It’s a slow down method for you mentally and I sometimes welcome loneliness to remind me of things I need or don’t want in my life.
I just found your channel ♥️. I understand what you mean about loneliness. Even though you have all of these privileges and wonderful things going for you, it doesn’t invalidate the loneliness that you feel. It’s ok to feel that way and express that authenticity because a lot of us are in the same boat. I think what we all desire is intimacy, which can be broken down into: into-me-see. We desire people to see into us, feel into us, understand us, hear what we have to say, etc. I hope you find your people that make you feel seen, heard and understood.
Happy to see your vlogs Anna! ♥️ Thanks for sharing your thoughts as often I feel loneliness is not something openly talked about 😅
I love you so much Anna💖 it may sound a but weird, but you are like a big sister to me that gives great advice and shares her experiences. you are a gem💎❤️
It’s understandable that u feel lonely. We all need our family. I understand. I may not live in a different country from my family but I live 6 hrs from my mom and I miss her everyday. Face time and social media isn’t enough sometimes. ❤
Let me start off by saying, giirrrrrlll I love your hair at the beginning of the video. Can you kindly do a video where you tell us what haircut you ask for and the bangs you get please.
What you said about loneliness I totally agree, you can spend time with friends and family and still feel alone. Such a crappy feeling. BUT I have found peace in my own solitude 😊🫶🏼💕.
Having people or not in a familiar or even unfamiliar area can be experienced by anyone.
I think its an adult thing, every single one who s thinker- would ve felt it.
You can feel lonely in a crowd too, so its valid
Thank you for opening up and sharing about this.
This is so relatable honestly
Commenting to say I love your content, please keep it coming :)
It's going to take some time to adjust to living in a different country. I lived in the Philippines for 2 years and I didn't start to get past the culture shock and loneliness until after the 6 or 7 month. What helped me was having a routine that I carried over from the states and going out and meeting people.
I just got back from a 3 week solo holiday in South Korea and in my opinion it's not an easy country to be alone, lots of places are set up for groups or couples. I have not experienced that kind of loneliness solo traveling in any other country.
This is what I was worried about the most but isn’t gonna push me away from my dream of living in Korea. Was it easy to make friends for you?
I’ve never experienced being alone in a foreign country, but I think I would be fine alone in Korea because it’s one of country I really would love to live in ❤
That’s how it alllll beginssssss 😭
Love your content Anna!
I am fully isolated I only have my son and husband my depression has hit the roof am on meds atm it's so hard making friends no one keeps in contact or my friendships dnt last hate my life atm 😞😞😞😞
Thank you for sharing, it's nice getting to know you 🇦🇺
thank you for sharing anna 💜
I don’t think people who never leave home or away from family will ever understand. I live south of Seoul and Although I am cool with people nearby, 99% of my traveling is done solo. It’s also very much a character builder to do things on your own. Always down to grab a coffee from a cafe with a cliché name if you want.
am so happy I can listen to ur thoughts here ! (longer version) hehe😊
You shouldn’t have to be quiet about your feelings and being lonely in SK. Yes it is great you can be in SK. But you’re human. People have no clue if they have not done it. However a lot of people sit on the other side of the screen and try to dictate how you should and shouldn’t feel. Be as transparent as you choose to be. It’s your life. You’re the only one living it.
You are so pretty and seem so cool~
enjoyed life see the world first everything settle would you prepared your future family
Hitting too close 😭
Are you close to your parents Anna? I have been watching your tiktok for over a year and I've heard your sister in old videos. I know this is a personal question! I'm just curious. I'm assuming your parents want privacy. ❤
❤
🧡🧡🧡
Merci. Listen. If you know are willing to live in south korea to an elder age the pensioner isn't great as the usa. I hope you got a wallet on chain. If not be prepared to lose more wallets
You're absolutely beautiful 😍 and stunningly gorgeous 😍 Angel 😍 😇, love you 😇 😍 💕 😘
