Hello, everyone
It's been a while.
Today, we're finally
going to the dentist.
For the last time.
We've been going for about 8 months now.
At first, Oppa
kept saying he didn't want to go,
so I kept persuading him for 3 years.
And this time, I succeeded!
I was using them well.
You didn't have any, what were you using?
You didn't have teeth,
what were you using?
Going to the dentist costs a lot of money.
Olha said she'd pay for everything.
But Olha also got a sponsorship
from somewhere,
so it was much cheaper than expected.
And Oppa, you got anesthesia, right?
Because you were scared.
It's a dental clinic that offers
sleep anesthesia, so it's very comfortable.
You just wake up and it's all done.
So you're getting treatment very comfortably.
Initially, they were really bad,
but now they're so pretty.
They're beautiful teeth, Oppa.
I think I can show you after it's done.
I'll show you in a bit.
Oppa, try this.
Should I walk around like this?
If you compare the early videos
to now, my teeth are very different.
I was missing two molars here,
and these two front teeth
were originally implants.
I also had an overlapping tooth here.
Was it here?
I had an overlapping tooth, and I had it removed.
I also got two molars on this side,
and all four front teeth were filed down.
So now, they're really...
Oppa, you have to keep smiling now.
I guess I'll have to walk around like this.
I'm satisfied. Thank you so much.
Now, all the rest...
The rest too?
Of course, I have to replace all the old ones.
The old ones?
This molar?
- I need to change them all. - Is it the upper ones?
Oppa, Olha will pay for it all.
Just do it.
Don't buy a new computer,
fix your teeth instead.
I bought the computer to edit faster
and work harder.
It was so expensive,
so I bought used RAM.
Where should we go now?
We need to go to Hongdae,
and we're going to France next week.
And my mother,
we'll meet her too.
Your mother-in-law is coming to France, right?
So, I have a cousin
who loves Japanese manga,
so I want to get some souvenirs
but Olha doesn't know anything about anime.
So Oppa,
I need your help.
We'll go to Hongdae to check out figure shops
and visit Animate.
It's my first time. I've never been there.
I'm hungry.
Okay, let's eat first then.
Alright, let's go to Hongdae first.
I haven't been to Hongdae in ages, seriously.
Me, ten million.
It's been ten million years.
I'm too old for this place. It's hard to hang out here.
Once you're over 30,
you can't go in anymore.
Is that how it is?
Can't even eat?
You can still eat.
Today, it's Salmon Don.
It was Salmon Don last time too,
because Olha
personally loves salmon.
And Oppa
needs to eat something soft.
Olha, this side is prettier.
Please film from this side.
Then turn around and walk backward.
Go like that.
Not bad.
Hongdae has really changed a lot.
I used to live here, in Hongdae.
I lived here for about 8 years.
Wow!
You lived here a long time.
In my 20s.
But it's changed so much.
Oppa.
(It's so cold)
Why is it so cold?
It was warm just the day before yesterday.
It suddenly got so cold.
What should I eat?
My teacher told me to eat soft food.
Your teacher?
Not hard food.
- Salmon donburi is perfect. - Yeah.
Let's go in.
What did you order?
Salmon donburi.
Why do you always eat salmon donburi?
Because it's delicious, Oppa.
I eat salmon at home and outside.
Right?
Salmon was really expensive when I was young.
Really? It was expensive?
It was too expensive to eat.
I only ate it on big holidays.
So you eat it now that you're older?
Because you have some money?
No, because the price dropped.
It's Omega-3, you know?
They say it's good for skin.
Looks delicious, right?
Why do you like it so much?
You have to eat it with rice
It's heavenly, Oppa.
How can you not know this taste?
Are we on the 5th floor?
This is a cafe, though?
Animate will be there too.
Pethroom is here too?
Pethroom is here.
It's Olha's favorite brand.
Should I buy something too?
No! Don't!
Why am I more excited?
You're an adult now.
We're buying a gift for a child now.
Olha's hobby is
having no boundary between adults and children.
No, Oppa! No!
I can just give Olha what I want to buy, right?
No.
So there's a maid cafe here too?
I don't think there's a maid cafe here.
I think it's somewhere else in Hongdae.
I haven't been to a Korean maid cafe either.
Have you been to one in Japan then?
I went when I was young.
When you were young?
Was it good?
What's there to like about it?
Then why did you go?
I went because I was curious.
But why is it so expensive?
I bought one.
These things are usually super expensive.
They don't save money on these.
I was thinking up to 5,000 won, but...
It's like 30,000 won.
It's really nothing special, but...
It was too expensive.
Let's just buy figures here.
So what did you buy?
I don't know what it is.
But Oppa, I think you have a good idea.
Looking at these prices,
if I sell everything in Oppa's room,
it'll probably be over 2 million won.
2 million won?
It's way more than 2 million won.
Really?
Then Olha will try to organize it tomorrow.
See what needs to be sold.
First, my cousin said
they like Jujutsu Kaisen, so
"Throughout Heaven and Earth,
I alone am the honored one." So I bought Gojo Satoru.
Cute things like these.
Cards like these.
They'll like it, right?
They will.
There are these too.
Good purchases!
Let's go home now, it's cold.
You worked hard.
You too, Oppa.
You slept well on the bus.
Aren't you sleeping too well on the bus?
What if you miss your stop?
I always sleep like this on the bus.
Oppa's here, you know.
Olha, you have nothing to worry about.
What if I fall asleep too?
Oppa was playing games, you know.
Olha knows everything.
Should I buy something on the way home?
No, we have everything at home.
Bungeoppang? Roasted sweet potato?
- We have everything at home. - Roasted chestnuts?
- We have everything at home. - We don't have anything.
We don't have anything at all.
We have the bungeoppang we bought yesterday.
Eat that.
I'll make you coffee too.
Okay.
Iced?
Iced.
Do we have ice?
It's cold now, so just
if you put it outside,
it'll quickly become iced.
Today, while eating bungeoppang,
I have something to confess.
I'm not confessing to Oppa,
but to all of you.
I'm confessing something.
How long has it been since we started YouTube?
Has it been 8 months? 8 months?
But actually, 8 months ago,
Olha was diagnosed with depression.
She's overcoming it a lot now,
and still taking medication,
but she's almost
fully recovered now.
And today, we want to
talk about that.
If you're struggling, don't hold it in.
Please seek help.
Olha always smiles
and thinks positively.
Everyone might think Olha
is living a great life, but
that's not entirely true.
Everyone has their own problems
and things they have to go through.
And right now,
the situation in Ukraine is so bad,
so she can't see her parents,
or go back to her hometown.
And...
Around June, I think,
my mom suddenly
was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer.
Back then, I couldn't sleep
and was so worried.
I felt so lethargic
and didn't want to do anything.
It was really tough.
Then I talked to Oppa,
and he told me to go to the hospital.
I was so exhausted that summer,
so I ended up going.
After the tests,
they said it was depression.
So I'm taking medication
and also getting TMS treatment.
I go to the hospital every two weeks.
After taking the medicine,
you've gotten much better, right? Definitely?
Yeah.
Taking the medicine helped a lot.
First, I sleep well,
and before, I couldn't get up in the morning,
but now I jump right out of bed.
That summer was really hard.
What do I do when I wake up?
It's just another day.
That's what I thought.
But we also started YouTube,
so we have new motivation.
That also gained meaning.
When we went to Geoje Island,
Mom had her first surgery.
And since the first surgery went well,
I felt a bit relieved.
And
around January,
Mom also had her second surgery.
Now she's recovered a lot,
which means we can go visit her.
So,
problems are gradually being solved.
Olha is also diligently getting therapy
and taking medication.
And
to think positively,
she's reading many books.
I think it's been a great help.
Oppa, all this time,
you've cheered me on so much.
Thank you so much.
When Oppa suggested we go out on weekends,
Olha said
she just wanted to stay home.
She found it bothersome to go out,
and wanted to stay home all the time.
But Oppa was very patient.
I also,
when I was younger,
experienced something similar.
Meeting people
and having things to do
helps overcome it.
I realized that a lot.
For Olha to quickly
overcome something like that,
going to the hospital
would be the best.
It's definitely better to get help
from those around you
than to be alone.
But inevitably,
it seems to take some time.
Things like that.
During the day, I work alone.
When Oppa comes home in the evening,
we eat dinner and talk,
then we each work separately.
Since that routine kept repeating,
it wasn't easy.
But Olha's friends came often,
and I also tried to go out more,
so we ended up getting a dog.
Actually, Oppa only allowed us to get a dog
because Olha said she was depressed.
That's why Oppa agreed.
If she hadn't said she was depressed,
Rich wouldn't be here.
But once Rich came along,
we had to take him for walks,
and it got really busy.
It was really busy.
There was no time to get depressed.
So, what part do you think
was the main cause
of your depression?
I couldn't do anything
by myself, you know?
My mom was sick,
so I looked for hospitals in Korea.
I can do things like this, but
Mom said flying is dangerous, so
she can't come here.
And the situation in Ukraine
kept getting worse.
I was working hard, but
it felt like nothing I did mattered.
All that hit me at once, so it was tough.
And also,
I have my own Instagram and YouTube, right?
There were some hateful comments there.
People said I was too cheerful,
too happy.
But I was struggling.
When people said things like that,
it made it even harder.
Actually, there were some on our YouTube too.
Oppa deleted those comments, but
it still wasn't easy.
Because I was showing everything.
But now I'm okay.
There are no problems.
I've overcome
a lot by myself.
And I have my dog.
Mom will also soon
meet us in France.
Actually, that wasn't easy.
It hadn't been long
since her second surgery,
so we weren't sure if the doctor
would allow it or not.
We waited so long,
I really prayed so much at night.
Mom kept saying it was too expensive,
'Should I just go next time?'
'Mom has to take time off,'
because my mom is still working.
If Mom is absent, another teacher
has to teach her classes.
Mom is very responsible,
but I still persuaded her.
'When will Mom ever go to France?'
'When will you get this chance again?'
'You must see the Eiffel Tower!'
And Mom's friend lives in France,
'Let's meet that friend too!'
I tempted her like that.
At some point, Mom said,
'Okay, I'll think about it.'
After saying that,
then,
the doctor said 'everything's fine.'
So,
That's why we already booked
Mom's flight and accommodation.
Actually, France is
very close, but
getting there is really a hassle.
First, she has to take
a train for about 12 hours
to Warsaw, then
take a flight to France.
But my mom hasn't
traveled abroad much,
and now she has to do it all alone.
So I'm still a bit worried.
So we'll have to
help her a lot.
And when Mom comes to France,
we'll buy her lots of yummy food
and show her many nice places.
I'm really looking forward to it!
We'll be meeting after almost 1.5 years.
Mom was in Korea before,
They've visited about three times.
Now that we're in Europe,
we can see them.
Actually, going to Ukraine now
for work is
not easy.
Going there
takes about 3 days,
and coming back also takes 3 days.
So we'd need a really
long vacation, right?
But as you know,
we don't have many vacation days.
And Olha
has staff she's responsible for.
So it's not easy to go.
If things go well next year,
maybe my dad will come too.
We're hoping for that.
Oppa still
hasn't met my dad even once.
Oppa needs to get scolded!
He needs to meet him in person soon.
Right?
I hope it works out well.
So,
we've had some things happen.
What Olha wants to say is,
we've filmed so many positive videos,
right?
So it might seem like we live without any problems,
but that's not true!
No one lives without problems.
But we've actually been through a lot.
But we,
actually had all sorts of things happen.
Everyone probably goes through these things
in life, right?
Not just us.
If we share good stories in our videos,
that's a good thing.
We hope people watch our videos and feel happy,
that's why we do YouTube.
And actually, we're really enjoying YouTube.
And actually, YouTube
is a lot of fun for us.
Really?
It's like Olha found a new hobby.
She wants to film every day.
It's fun.
After I retire later,
I feel like I've found something
I can keep doing steadily.
I do feel that way.
But I'm not sure
how long I can keep doing this.
Oppa keeps talking
about retiring.
But our subscribers are steadily increasing.
Now that we're getting so much support,
shouldn't we work even harder?
We're receiving so much support.
And it's not just the two of us.
So many people
are with us,
and that was so great.
And Olha gaining weight
is because of the medicine.
Because of the medicine.
100% because of the medicine?
But the doctor said
she'll lose it if she reduces it.
Oppa, you should say no right now.
Say she didn't gain weight.
You didn't gain weight.
Even in the video, you
won't look like you gained weight.
Olha is working hard at Pilates
She hasn't missed a single class.
Isn't it because it's expensive?
Olha is really careful with money,
but she only splurges on Pilates.
She's doing it for her health,
and you shouldn't save money on health.
Now, Oppa,
Lunar New Year is coming soon, right?
We're going on February 12th,
we're going to France.
I'll introduce you to my mom too.
Why are you laughing?
Oppa, you need to work hard.
You gotta work hard!
Thank you so much
for watching until the end today.
And as always, today,
please subscribe, comment, hype,
and like!
This was Hanu Couple~
Thank you!
