![When you have no plan on marriage but get married anyway [Part 1] | K-DOC](/img/1.gif)
As a dual citizen I fully understand the stress of traveling with 2 passports and all the headaches that come with it. Thankfully the country I live in I don’t have to give up either citizenship
But since she is married to a Korean can’t she doesn’t have to completely give up her U.S citizenship? She just has to nullify it for as long as she has Korean citizenship
@@taegan1831 she doesn’t she can be a dual citizen but the twins can’t. when they get older will. She explained that Rubin would either have to choose at 18 or 38 and Luna at 21
@@BlessinginBloom ohhhh ok
yeah i was looking up whether or not i can enter and leave a country i'm a citizen of on different passports (to go to other place of citizenship) but it turns out doing that might make customs suspect that you're committing fraud or espionage lol
@@thelonelyegg3025 yup. That’s why when I travel I use that passport then when I go back home use my other passport and depending on which country I’m in and how the power my passport holds there is what I go with
I swear Luna is her dad! While Rubin is all you! They are both so freakin’ cute!
Looks like the other way around to me!!!
@@SOI-wl2lototally agree!
none of them are all her... as you might not have known, Her sister is DNA wise the mom... since she carried her sisters eggs in her belly.. luna looks like her sister imo and yall can come at me... but sadly even though yes i see megan as their mom since she carried them... if they did a dna test it would say that her sister is the mom..
@@AndreosValentine Lol we know how biology works. She looks like her sister therefore she looks like Megan, because Megan looks like her sister.
@@AndreosValentine I did know. I’ve followed Megan for a long years. Everyone knows how DNA works. Your comment and opinion is irrelevant to me so you could’ve just kept it to yourself. I hope one day when you experience parenthood, you’ll understand the beauty of being familial without the constant reminders of whose DNA your children have!
For the many children who are adopted, who are surrogated and donated eggs by family members, may they all feel as much love and deep connections with those who raise them and choose to be their parents! May they shake off people like you, who can break their hearts with your words, just because you need to prove a point of how DNA works!
In the US the reason why you have to come with the children and BOTH parents (unless you have an affidavit) to apply for a passport is to prevent a parent from getting a passport for their children without the other parents knowledge. Because kidnapping your kids to another country is a thing here.
I have tri-citizenship and it IS
a nightmare carrying all three
passports when I'm traveling
to see family in Japan, Europe
and the US at the same time.
I wouldn't change a thing tho.
I have privileges in 3 countries
and that's super cool too! 🙂
How is a tri possible
@@richrich2862 Because their is family there. I wanna know how big and mixed their family is.
Three omg hahaha that’s too much
@@Snow-xd4rvI think they mean how it’s possible, since Japan actually doesn’t allow you to have multiple citizenships passes a certain age. There’s a ton of videos discussing it, I wonder what country in Europe though!
You know Europe isn’t a country… it’s 26 different countries which all have their own passport
@ 5:21 The twins playing with each other was so heart warming, those tiny moments should be cherished and are so special before you know it you blink and they are grown. 😊😍🥰
lol I love how Luna’s looking at you in the back while you’re doing the intro! 😂
You guys keep leveling up and doing great things! I always appreciate your informative videos. Their passport photos were too cute!
Sounds like quite the process, I'm glad it worked out for you.
The babies adorable as ever and getting a lot more active 😂
They are! ❤❤
Luna blowing a kiss was so cute. Thank you for sharing your family. The twins make me smile. 😊
Luna is looking more like Moon and Rubin is looking more like a mix of both. They're so cute
Everyone saying Luna looks like Moon, I think it's the complete opposite!
By the way, Happy International Cat Day! I know that when you have a cat, it's International Cat Day every day (especially if you ask the cat). The Twins are getting cuter and cuter every day! And look at those teeth! Y'all are an adorable family! Thanks for the information!
❤❤❤❤
I LIVE for your uploaded videos because I know that the twins are going to do something special and your reactions are not only priceless but hilarious. The random plastic bag being tossed into the frame had me hollering! Keep bringing the beautiful videos.❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
They're growing up so fast!! Good to see you all are doing well. Always look forward to your videos!!
Megan, I'm so glad you made this video. I'm in an International relationship with a Korean guy as well. (I'm in the US) Originally our plan was to settle down in the US but that's changed somewhat. Hearing you talk about all the legal aspects helps me think about the plans for my future.
Your babies are just toooooooooooooo adorable!! So love watching your vlogs....always looking forward to the next one!! Sending love from New York.
OMG!!! the twins are getting so big, God bless them, i'm happy everything worked out.
I can’t believe Reuben is walking ❤ Luna in the back like 👀
Hey Megan! Nice! Congrats to the babies on getting their passport . Yea,it dosent seems as a hassle in keeping your us passport / citizen and just keeping your Korean visa . I’ve done that as well for the another country and it’s not a hassle at all. Thanks for sharing !
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love 💚 , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Frank Lange from Brooklyn New York, where are you from if I may ask?❤
Very good questions in the title! I love learning about Korean culture and I've been wondering the last question myself 🥰❤️ love you Megan!
Thank you for the inside scoop on the passports and dual citizenship luvz, this was mad informative and a biG time saver to boot! P.S. It looks like the Wonder Twin Babiez are quite literally givin' you a "run" for your $ with their newfound walking skills today!! 💓☺️💚
Congratulations! I'm happy for you all. I remember watching you when you were single. Best wishes to you and your family.
Luna looks like Mr Moon’s mom and it’s so cute ☺️
Thank you for explaining the passports, I always wondered. The twins are getting big and walking so cute.
It has been a few months since I last saw your videos Megan, during that time, I gave birth to my baby, who is now 7 months old! I remember watching your old videos- and new ones, to help get through the early pp days. I'm so happy to see the twins getting bigger! It gives me excitement for what's to come with my baby girl!
This video was very informative! And the twins have so much personality!❤
Personality seems to run in the family.
Thank you Megan, this video was very informative. You taught me somethings I didn't know & some things that were so unclear is now cleared. Keep safe you all & you have a lovely family 😊.
I love how Rubin and Luna interact with the camera. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for blessing me with another video ❤
Baby girl really looks like her dad 😊 and baby boy looks like mommy 😊
❤ ya. You go, girl. Many blessings to you and your family!
Oh my gosh!! Those babies are too cute. They are growing up fast. I like your videos that are informative. Thanks for sharing.
It’s cool that you have a choice for dual citizenship. My American mother gave birth to my little brother in France when we lived there, and he acquired his dual French citizenship. Thanks for sharing 🙋🏾♀️.
2:56 the trust you have in Luna to keep hold of your credit card while walking through that building is commendable 😂
Can we get the hair routine and things for these loose curls you've got please. It's giving length and stretch. ❤ The babies are sooooo cute! You look amazing Megan.
Yaaaay I’m early! Currently watching your video at my youngest soccer practice baking in this Georgia heat 🥵 lol thank you for sharing your life and experiences with us Megan!
There passport photos are so stinking cute ☺️ I wish accessibility to passports was easier in US AND prices too 🥲
Awwwwe. Thanks for watching. ❤❤❤ hope the soccer practice goes well~~~ and stay cool
BLESS YOU MEGAN!!! THANK YOU for sharing all of these tips!!! 💎💎💎
The babies are so adorable ❤❤❤
Thank you for all the informations and the various cute shots. They are growing up so fast :)
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, love 💚 , and peace all over the world 🌏. I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust so as time goes on it will bring something great for us in the future, hope you don't mind? I'm Frank Lange from Brooklyn New York, where are you from if I may ask?❤
Good day, Thanks for shearing.
That little girl is so sweet and noticing she looks like her corean grandma.
My family and I just finished watching you on Ramyun and Chill 💕. RUclips suggested it and loved it.
hope future for Moon family is just full of great traveling stories . later on you can decide if you will like to have only one citizenship. Travel and enjoy life to the fullest with your beautiful babies!!!
❤ love you guys!
The kid's are growing up so fast. Thanks for sharing 👍
Yeaaaaah ❤❤❤❤ 1st
You have a beautiful spirit your smile is so authentic love your channel and you have a beautiful family!! US love sent
I would keep that US citizenship just in case your northern neighbors might go coocoocachoo and you all can move to Americana with ease. The world around Korea scares me.
Anyways, thanks Megan for clarifying that mandatory military service for dual citizen children. It be nice if you can keep both forever. Especially if you’re Korean-American.
Love the video family, especially the babies. They’re so cute and adorable. 💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸
I mean she’ll still have double citizenship regardless, woman are allowed. The funny thing is even in the USA they’re like surrender but everyone still really has double citizenship
yes we koreans remain and fight for country and Megan run away to USA. great idea!!!
@@gibatojap1945 don’t you worry my fellow Koreans. You have 🇺🇸🇺🇸 at Camp Humpreys and Busan. You’re not alone out there. 💯💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I mean…if they go coocoocachoo on South Korea America wouldnt be the place to move to anyway because whatever they send to South Korea they are sending to the US either simultaneously or right after so it really wouldn’t matter.
i would be just as scared to live in the u.s right now 😶
Your babies are absolutely beautiful 🥰
You’re so pretty. And the twins are soooooo cute!
Seeing you drive is so crazy, because I started following you when you were studying for your license 😢
So much to consider. ❤ love the babies. Thanks for sharing them
I really needed this information! Thank you so much! I feel a little less lost and confused 😅
Wtffff I’ve been watching you since I was 15… I’m 24 now and LOOK AT YOUR BEAUTIFUL BABIESSS?!?!?! I missed so muchhhh
I hope you can obtain dual citizenship, Megan. Nothing like having options. 😅 And the kiddos' passport pictures are too precious!
Luna just steals your heart🥹🥰🥰🥰 I love hearing the chaos in the background, it feels comforting😂
I hate dealing with that stuff. It does cost a lot, wth!
So informative! Ty so much! 💝
what are you saying in the intro of your video? I have always wondered
Hi ! She’s saying “저는 미국사람입니다” (jeoneun migook saram imnida), which just translates as « I am American ». That’s been her intro for ever
@@atinyshrimp thanks, I always wondered
Hi! I used to watch your content all the time when you were expecting, then they disappeared for me. I thought, oh well she is busy with the babies. Then today, surprise! I see todays video. Nice to see how big your cute babies are getting.
That passport is super cheap. For me to get a Canadian passport it cost me I think 160 or so to get mine.
The twins have become so active and their personalities are coming out more! They are so adorable!
I'm astonished! In Spain it's 30 euros, and that's because it's gotten more expensive in the past few years...
In Australia it's like $400 lol
We love the baby’s ❤❤❤❤
Great information and adorable kiddos. :)
That’s right girl you don’t have to rush take your time😎🤗
I will always be impressed with your knowledge and individuality and being able to do things on your own in Korea. I am working towards my Korean language skill level 4 atm, but I'm still having such a hard time with official matters, its crazy! (But then again.. i can hardly do it in my own language or English lol) i applause you and your dedication~ i love to see it and it keeps me reaching higher!
And always so many small tips in your videos~
I think keeping with the residency visa is a good choice for now, also because it's active for 10 years anyways, and you're like 95% intergrated into the society by then
I've literally watched you for years, and honestly you are so beautiful, just thought id drop a comment and hopefully improve your day! lots of love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks for the cool info. Those babies are so super awesome.
Megan, can we please get a tutorial on your hairstyle?! It’s always so pretty on you❤
I would love to see a video on some of the differences of living in the suburbs vs in Seoul, especially for a family.
It’s intriguing how in Korea they can photoshop the clothing colour. Where I’m from (Belize) they’ll send you right back to change your shirt. And if you live out district well that’s sad cause you’ll have to buy a darker coloured shirt to wear😅.
Your babies are just so precious 🥺🥺🥺🥺❤❤❤😊😊😊
Wow the twins are getting so big 👍🏻
I think moving to Europe would be very cool! You still have a lot of privileges esp as American/KR citizens. The education quality and safety here is top notch, especially in Germany for little children
Thank you so much for sharing this info! My husband is Korean and I'm American and we were planning to move back to Korea in the near future and have children. We were soooo curious what would happen to our child's citizenship, especially the military service aspect.
i would love to see you react to early videos because it blows my mind remembering one day like 11 years ago i found your page curious about americans moving to korea and now its like SHE'S A MOM HOW DID TIME FLY SO FAST
They are too cute, specially Luna.
Love your hair Megan..au naturel
The twins are adorable
Ruben looks like you
Luna like the Dad.
I’m glad you made this video. I didn’t know girls needed to decide at 22 years old. I went to Korea in July 2023. It was my first out of the country trip and my husband said he would be okay to live in Korea to give me the experience of living in another country but there’s so much into it haha I’m not sure just yet. But I would like for my child to learn about their culture and grow up here for a few years.
Do it, Destiny.
I think how she conveyed that bit can cause some misunderstandings. Girls dont need to relinquish citizenship - they just need to report their dual status by their 22nd bday. They can just keep being dual forever with no issues
These completely adorable kiddos stay on cute. Just cute everywhere and miss Luna throwing kisses😍. I have
tri - citizenship but, I will not be able to obtain a 4th without giving up my Japanese passport due to political things that don't even apply to me🤷.
Awe babies are so cute 🥰🥰
4:00
Rubin - Pop-up investigation.
Luna - Smiling. Staring. Judging.
😂
Luna was so happy with her "gift" haha but it looks like they will soon be holy terrors racing around in different directions now they are up and ready to walk.
It's very interesting about the military, who knows what will be going on in another 18 years. We had mandatory service for a year here in the Netherlands but just when my brother would be getting old enough they stopped that, so my older male cousins went but my brother didn't. Back then there were no wars to be active in so it was just a year of young men hanging out with other equally unmotivated men doing work outs and chores. Safe to say they did not enjoy that.
But on the other hand if anything went on., like a dike breach they would have the boys over there is no time filling sandbags and helping out. The dutch military still does a lot of humanitarian work like hooking up water in other countries. Sadly they do have to fight now with the way the world is going now.
New subscriber, love your videos!
Hi, Your cuties are getting so so big, Luna looks so much like Mr Moon. They are Adorable ❤ you are blessed 🙏
Luna and Rubin are precious 😊
Right back at ya Luna Muahhhh
Rubin is a Sir for sure 😊
❤❤❤
@@MrsMeganMoon you’re both phenomenal parents ❤️
Wow! I had no idea it was that complicated of a situation with the passports.
Who else didn't hear anything she said, totally distracted by the adorable twins AND the kitty lurking in the background? I'm a granny, can't help it...Toooo cute!!! 😆🥰
Megan, love your family videos, the babies are getting so big. I'd like to know is Mr. Moon's English progressing? Is he studying in case you do move to the states for a bit?
Ugh yes...being a dual citizen is such a pain with having to keep both passports while traveling. I'm always paranoid I'm going to lose both of them😅
Hooray ❤️💋
I miss Korea so much😢😢😢.. love your videos
The twins are soooo beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤🫶🏾
Curious to know what the rules and restrictions are outside of SK for those w/ Korean citizenship?
Lovely vid as always Mrs M! ❤
THIRTY DOLLAR PASSPORT?! 🤯
Canadian passports are $120 for one that lasts 5 years, $160 for a 10 year
So the five year is $24, close to 30 lol
You also have to remember what things cost in South Korea vs Canada and the US. And the huge pay difference between South Korean workers and Canadian/American workers…unless you know something i dont. Are there nice apartments in Canada that you can rent for $400-500 like there is in South Korea?
@@book_worm22 No there aren’t really! Rent is through the roof. Awful quality one bedroom apartments are minimum $1200 without utilities included, and that’s in the poorest part of the country. Minimum wage varies across the country but it’s usually around $11-12 an hour.
@@Maggs-lp Not sure where you live but in my city the minimum wage is 15,25$/hr and I'm paying 800$/month for a nice even though not fancy 3 bedroom apartment
Canada is huge and really diverse so it's pretty much impossible to use the whole country for comparison purposes 😅
@@veebie0015 I wonder how long you’ve been in your current apartment? If it’s been a while, I can guarantee your landlord is just thirsting for you to get out so they can raise that rate.
Also I understand the country is massive so it’s hard to compare but come on, you’ve gotta be kidding if you think rent rates are fair right now? using your personal situation and anecdotal evidence for comparison is kind of silly.
Is always good to carry extra citizenship, you never know what the future will change 👍
Yes, take your time.
Lol Luna in the beginning of the video looking in the corner felt like she was playing hide n seek with us ❤
The babies are looking more and more like your sister than Mr Moon!!! :)
wow im early hahaahha :D
just finished watching, what other countries are you considering moving to for a few years?
Thanks for watching~~ ❤❤❤ haven’t decided yet actually haha. But maybe somewhere else in Asia
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching❤❤❤
👍interesting 😁 enjoy your family stories.
Thanks for watching and supporting ❤❤
I remember in Megans old videos she had cats running around in the back now it’s mainly babies 😂🥹
Yes Megan. I have 7 passports that I carried on our trip home. One for my partner and 2 each for my children and myself.
I can vote in the US and UK elections.
Rubin turned around like are ya'll having fun lol.😆😁
