00:02Hey guys, it's me Anne.
00:04I'm taking you on a haul today, but not just any haul.
00:07I'm in Seoul!
00:14I'm about to go meet Joan Kim.
00:16She's a beauty and lifestyle YouTuber
00:17and something of an expert in all things trendy in Seoul.
00:23Hi Joan!
00:24Hello!
00:25Welcome to Korea!
00:26Thank you so much!
00:27Five years ago, Joan moved from the States to Seoul.
00:31Now she's amassed over 700,000 followers
00:34across her Instagram and YouTube pages
00:35where she shares snippets of her life in her new city.
00:38I figured she'd be the perfect person
00:40to take me on a haul in Myeongdong,
00:42one of Seoul's most popular shopping destinations.
00:45Our first stop is Red Eye,
00:46an affordable jewelry store that specializes in funky earrings.
00:53They have hamburger earrings.
00:54They have coke earrings.
00:56They have beer earrings.
00:57Oh my gosh.
00:58I used to drink these all the time when I was a kid.
01:01I'm overwhelmed.
01:03Oh my gosh!
01:03Hello Kitty!
01:04Look at that!
01:05Wait, it's only nine dollars.
01:07Nine dollars.
01:08It's Doraemon.
01:10Doraemon!
01:11So cute!
01:12You have to pick up earrings here.
01:14Statement earrings have been all over the Instagram feed in Korea.
01:18Like this.
01:18Oh, it's huge.
01:20Giant, like mismatched.
01:22Yeah, mismatched.
01:23Will you promise me that you'll wear the one that I choose for you?
01:26No matter how extreme they are.
01:28I think we should get these for you.
01:30Yeah, let's just go with these.
01:32Those are cute.
01:34I'm into that.
01:35Right?
01:35Thank you!
01:38Up next, food.
01:42This is actually one of my favorite Korean street foods.
01:46It's called Tornado Potato.
01:48Fried potato.
01:50Yes!
01:50Yum!
01:50It's amazing.
01:51He coats it.
01:53Oh, like in a batter and then fries it?
01:55Yeah.
01:56So good.
01:56Let's do onion.
01:58Thank you!
01:59It looks so good!
02:01I know!
02:03The way they cut and fry these potatoes is like an art form.
02:08It's like a really big French fry, right?
02:13So good.
02:14Shall we walk around for some more?
02:19And we have red bean, sweet potato.
02:23Everything sounds really good actually.
02:25Let's try a cheese.
02:26Do you want me to?
02:26Yeah, let's try cheese.
02:27Oh, he does it for you again.
02:29Oh, he does it for you again.
02:32Wow.
02:34Thank you!
02:37Yum!
02:42Yum!
02:43It's quite sweet.
02:47It's kind of like a cream cheese filled croissant.
02:51There's one last street food that you have to try because you're here.
02:55Okay.
02:56Dokbokki.
02:57Have you heard of it?
02:57No, I haven't.
02:58Spicy rice cake.
02:59Yeah, I'm down.
03:00My favorite.
03:02It's giving us a lot.
03:03Yum!
03:03So generous.
03:10I hope it's good.
03:11It's gonna be so hot.
03:12Cheers.
03:12I don't know.
03:12Cheers.
03:13I don't know.
03:17The sauce is so good.
03:19Good?
03:19Mm-hmm.
03:19Squishy, chewy, and coated with a delicious creamy curry sauce.
03:22We ended our food tour on the perfect note before continuing our exploration in search of some K-beauty skincare.
03:29I think I've heard of this brand before.
03:30Wanna check it out?
03:31Yeah, I'm down.
03:32Yeah, let's go.
03:33I think we should start with a basket.
03:35Good call.
03:36Sheet masks inside?
03:37Yeah, there are sheet masks in capture.
03:38And sheet masks are inside.
03:40Wait, it's so cute.
03:42Wow.
03:42Whenever I shop for my friends abroad, I always take sheet masks with me back home.
03:47Good call.
03:47You should pick some up.
03:48I'm pretty sure there's some Medi-Kill stuff that actually just launched in the US and they're like launching in
03:52Walgreens.
03:53Walgreens, yeah.
03:54Oh, wait, what's this?
03:55A lot of sheet masks in Korea have like these ampules outside.
04:01You crack it inside, the dry sheet mask, and then you kind of move it around.
04:05The ample would be fresh.
04:07I think this is a good gift because my mom will really like it, my sister too.
04:11You know what?
04:11I actually think I want to get a toner.
04:13I feel like hydration is the thing in Korea.
04:16Yeah.
04:17I feel like they're going to make good toners.
04:18The chok chok life.
04:19Have you heard of chok chok?
04:20Yeah, I have.
04:20What does it mean again?
04:21It's a way to describe dewy skin.
04:24Like chok chok.
04:25I'm giving you guys Korean lessons on this channel.
04:27This is not really good.
04:28Chok chok.
04:29Chok chok.
04:30Yeah.
04:31Yeah.
04:32Oh, I love Korean sheet mask walls.
04:35It's so colorful and it's really organized.
04:39They have everything.
04:40Yeah.
04:40Horse oil from Jeju.
04:43I'm going to get a face mask.
04:44This one looks good.
04:47Wow.
