From today, masks are mandatory in South Korea
but we've all been wearing them since March anyway
yes
Everyone wears them anyway but now it's mandatory
but some people are not wearing
old people
There you are, hello!
So I thought this was a really good question to ask
because you might have noticed we are doing less videos lately
and it is really hard to be creative in a pandemic right?
And also, we are just stuck at home
we can't go out
yeah most of the time
and have some other personal stuff as well
and also really busy with work
You have your work, your business, you are a CEO, techncially
and balancing your public side of life and your private side of life
it can be difficult, because there are a lot of things you can't show, because they involve more people
like they might involve other family members and that type of stuff
We're not the type of vloggers to vlog every single thing and do it clickbaity right?
There are so many dramatic things that happen but you don't want to have it as a clickbait title
it's disrespectful to other people, and other people involved
So it can be difficult and that's why there isn't as much content these days
And we are getting older as well
And also we have Yul. - Yeah
when we try to film something it's not easy
What is that?
This is what he wants to eat
snacks and candy?
Yul, eat some food
I made this
Hugh made this side dish. What is it?
Myulchi Bokkeum, small fish
they are tiny tiny little fish
this is a very Korean side dish
they are like dried fish aren't they?
they are not bad, they are okay, I like them when they have the nuts with them though
Yul likes it, Yul eat this
Yul
Yul, you going to eat?
And Also I just... many people told me
"why don't you do the kind of video that other people are doing?"
but like, me and us
our youtube channel is our life, saving our life
and sharing our life, which is good part
you know, not want to share every single thing
Also, we are so much older than so many other couples that do YouTube for example
so if you look at a lot of people that are newer doing YouTube
they are about 15 to 16 years younger than us
that's a different style, we are a lot older than a lot of other people
on social media
so the way we approach it is different and it's not the only thing that we are doing
and we have a child so we are very conscious about showing him
and we are conscious about him watching stuff later as well
we don't want to do things that are super clickbaity or things he is going to be embarrassed about
and that's one of the reasons why we are doing this video like this, we are showing you footage, we are showing you a glimpse of our life
but in a way that's not really super invasive for him
and hopefully just nice memories he can look back on as well
that's what we want
So speaking about Simon and Martina (Eat Your Kimchi)
who are good friends of ours, I really understand their position
of doing YouTube for so many years and then just feeling burnt out by it
and there comes a point sometimes where you just don't want to be in front of a camera
NO!
okay
And you don't have the same video you originally had about making videos
and it's very difficult for people who do YouTube full time
it can get really draining and frustrating
what do you think?
yeah a few months ago there was another big project on YouTube
they asked YouTubers if they have any problem
they all had problem, mental health problems usually
some of them taking medication for their mental health
they always need to be nice to people
continue to make content and get the clicks
they can't be really cranky or sad
out of the camera they are really sad, some people are
having a really hard time but if their family members of parents ask them
"are you okay?"
they all say "im okay im fine"
but actually they are not fine
we don't want to put everything on youtube, this is just saving our memories
So that's a side that people might not realise
of how mentally draining doing YouTube can be
and that's why it's very difficult in this pandemic
we can't just go out to a restaurant and film easily
we can't just do things that are like happy happy, people are going through so much
so I think a lot of YouTubers are struggling at the moment
So for us we make sure we have other things in our life, we have other projects
we don't rely on money, like we don't rely on the YouTube money
so that puts us in a healthier position
and we like to fly under the radar
especially in Korea there can be so much backlash about everything on YouTube
and difficult things and we aren't looking to have a million subscribers
we are looking to share our lives in a way that is comfortable for us
the more attention you attract the more negativity you can get as well
which can be really hard
Being away from my family is pretty hard
I would see my parents pretty regularly, my parents would come 2 or 3 times a year
we would go back to Australia a lot
Not knowing when I can see them again, it's really hard
it's something I'm trying not to think too hard about at the moment
Okay the first bit of this question, Yul really likes sea animals at the moment
so he carries around an orca toy
also a whale shark which is called "고래 shark"
he mixes the english and Korean but that's his favourite things at the moment
but he still loves dinosaurs of course
What do you have?
Have you got a new one?
what is it?
whale shark!
wow! - what is this?
he really likes whale sharks
wow this is a nice one
you like it?
wow!
Yul, do you like it?
Can you say thank you daddy?
thank you daddy
thank you mummy
thank you mummy!
oh there's your other sea creatures
you like?
oh, where is your whale shark?
where is it?
whale?
whale shark?
where is your whale shark?
oh no whale shark!
where is it?
Daddy, whale shark should be here!
is it there?
I think Daddy put it somewhere
big one
big one!
big one, two!
yeah big one two
to get this whale shark one, it's a proper figurine right?
yes
like it's not just a cheap toy, it's a proper figurine
expensive one!
and it comes with this book
that has so many things and dinosaurs!
so he could pick out all these and be like "daddy, i want this one!"
no
because buying all of them costs about $10,000
wow look at these, these are the proper figurines
he want to dinosaurs and cars and back to animals
sea animals
all about the sea animals
and he has a seas animal song that is interesting
it involves a lot of screeching
Can you sing your song for mummy?
SEA ANIMALS!!!!
*blows raspberry*
Can you sing it a bit nicer?
you had a song about your sea animals
Can you sing?
*screeching*
SEA ANIMALS!!!
*blows raspberry*
I think dinosaurs are still his number 1
but he just loves animals
my ears hurt!
so in Korean he...
my ears hurt! my ears hurt!
he is saying his ears hurt anytime I talk
that's not very nice
my ears hurt!
that's not very nice
my ears hurt!
Mummy is going to kiss you instead
Most of things he says in in Korean because he learns  things from his daycare
with other kids and teachers
and also I talk to him in Korean
and other people here, they talk to him in Korean as well
But he understands English and he says a lot in English as well
but often he is choosing Korean, and Korean for kids
the sentences are a bit shorter than in English
there are a lot of sentences that are shorter and easier for kids
to say right away
so he says a lot in Korean but also understands the English
because he spends most of time with you
and you speak in English
Sometimes I ask him to say something in English
like he will say in Korean and I'll say "you can say that in English"
and he will just say "I don't know!"
which in Korean means I don't know
like he does know but he just gets a little bit shyer about English
I don't know, I don't know
You don't know?
Hello
What are you doing?
Hello
Are you riding your Tayo car?
yeah, what else are you doing?
this, this this
all this stuff here is you isn't it?
all this stuff
quickly quickly!
okay
quickly quickly
Excuse me, that's my ice cream
no
it is my ice cream, can I have it back please?
NO
can i have it?
can I please have it? -NO
That's a Magnum
that's an ice cream for adults
not for kids
NAH
In regards to photoshoots and commericals and that
we haven't been doing any with him lately because he haven't felt he would enjoy it
he's at an age where he is very stubborn and it's not something we want to push
we don't have big plans for him to be a super model or anything
we just pick things that are fun for him
or working with people we already know and trust
So at the moment I don't think he would enjoy doing many photoshoots
I think he might enjoy doing a commercial but most things we are saying no at the moment
it's not right for him at the moment
we'll see
yeah just we'll see
as he gets older and if he has an interest in it
Okay guys thank you for watching this video, I know it's a little bit different
but I hope you enjoyed it
and other people had great questions that we are going to do in other videos as well
and show you more of our inside life in Seoul as well
at the moment it's mostly inside
and you can check out the social media and the blog
and we'll see you later
byebye
sea animals!
sea animals!
that's a beautiful song
