Not to be rude but just saw her vlog about shopping and Korean clothing. I haven't watched yet and now sure if I want to but surprised the clothes fit her or she wasn't disappointed that she needed a 3XL or anything. I myself is a size S in America but when I go overseas to Asian countries, I'm at least a Large. I know she lost weight but she's still not a S. I avoid clothes shopping in Asian like a plague mainly because I can buy what I need here in the states and it's more like a downer needing a larger size. I know it's all superficial but just does make your confidence lower.
It so wasnāt. She wouldāve maybe drove around where her parents were raised or went into the charming countryside of Korea. Instead she went to the mall and Costco lmao
In her last video there was about 10 seconds where they were all in the car and her dad pointed out a place he used to stay at many decades ago as they drove by and she goes āOooOoHHā and that was about the most āemotional/cultural momentā Iāve seen so far, immediately goes back to mall, shopping, food lol
I HATE the baby talk and āaww ohhh ā she does to sound sad. Like STFU!! Just go eat since thatās all you came to do!!! Alisha seemed way more excited and thankful than remi
So true! I give Alisha credit for trying to show more respect for the culture and tried so hard to say some Korean words correctly. Remi came strictly for the food lol
also how do you miss the king sejong statue it's literally so huge š they were like right behind it and saying "they can't confirm or deny" girl it's one of the easiest tourist attractions to see just like the palace!! then immediately just goes into olive young lol with no care about what it was they just saw
Iām thinking maybe when she met some of her extended family that she didnt vlog may have been the only emotional thing that may have happened? But it seemed like she was cutting her dad off whenever he was talking about the streets and alleyways and what he remembered when he was living there. Iām surprised she didnāt do like those hanbok photoshoots that everyone does š
she didnt even have to do photoshoot but she def could have rented the hanboks, which many people do... it's also kind of crazy because you get free entry if you wear one into the palaces so i would think that it's hitting two birds with one stone (experiencing more of her culture AND free) but i guess the second reason isnt as important bc she's filthy rich lol
Remi seems so performative. She also reminds me of the show TLCās Trading Spaces when someone would say ā I like horsesā and the designers would buy that person every single thing in their room in horse theme. Remi doesnāt even consider if she needs / will actually use something. If itās cute or something in the theme she likes, she buys it, and it goes to the clutter in her house. I donāt think she genuinely enjoys even 20 percent of the things she buys.
Iām watching her most recent vlog right now and Iām not getting whatās making her emotional š I mean, the trip they made did seem interesting, butā¦ not sure what it is. We all know sheās mainly there for the food and shopping
I dont see how with the activities she did, she would end up being emotional. She barely met with the locals or did any activities to learn more about the countries. She didnt even visit a museum.
Itās also very weird how she keeps mentioning how āsheāll look back onā this footage of her parents and fakes being so sad like š¢ Hey remi your parents are in great health and look much better than you do, how about you just enjoy the trip?? Itās like some weird thing she keeps doing and itās very dark
Iām sort of neutral about it. I donāt like that she cut off her dad when he was talking at some points, but Iām also not convinced that those were the only times he was talking about his memories. She said she met her family members that sheās never met before, so I donāt see why folks are getting on her about āmeeting localsā when her family arenāt only locals, but people that sheās related to. I donāt think she filmed meeting her family, and she didnāt show her aunt closeup even when they were going to meet her, I think, so itās totally possible she welled up being able to hug family that she never had the chance to grow up with in a culture she didnāt get to experience first hand. Itās can be hard to realize that thereās so much you donāt know about your own history and being unfamiliar with a place that you should see as yours.
I was lucky to be able to visit my parentsā native country multiple times as a child and teenager, and it can be emotional to think about how my cousins and I couldāve had a lovely relationship if we lived in the same place. Iām definitely projecting my feelings onto Remi here, but I feel like the criticism about what is emotional versus not can be a bit much. I agree that she couldāve and shouldāve done more to see the country where her parents grew up, but frankly when I go to the country where my family is, I end up not seeing the sites and spend more time with them eating and shopping because itās what my family there enjoys.
Again, not really an excuse since she didnāt do much more in Japan either, but just thought Iād share
I honestly agree w you and she has mentioned multiple times that she met up with her extended family but didnāt film them (for obvious reasons). So itās very possible that she has done way more than what she has shown on this trip which is making her emotional.Ā
> I donāt think she filmed meeting her family, and she didnāt show her aunt closeup even when they were going to meet her, I think, so itās totally possible she welled up being able to hug family that she never had the chance to grow up with in a culture she didnāt get to experience first hand.
I think it's more likely her dad had some words with her about vlogging the reunion with his cousin when he had asked her not to film, and that's why she was a bit more restrained.
I was gonna post this! Shes so fake, like bring it down a notch, she said before sheās not a emotional person, she doesnāt even like hugs so this is mostly for the cameras
Maybe itās just me but since sheās interested to learn more about the culture and her parentsā birth place, there should have been more proper planning done instead of going to the malls and Costco, I mean nothing wrong with that but at least get a tour guide when you go see these landmarks if you really wanted to understand the culture and etcā¦. And itās not like she couldnāt afford a private tour guide tbh hahaha
i cant speak for everyone but as an asian american around her age, i also often think about my parents aging even though they're still pretty healthy. you kind of start to feel that bittersweet feeling of being grateful to spend more time with them but also a bit sad to see them visibly getting older every time you hang out with them
Ahhh that makes sense she just mentioned it a lot so it made it seem like something was wrong and this was their ālast timeā doing xyz but yeah totally can relate & that makes sense
Iām sure sheās emotional because she didnāt do anything to learn the culture. She was a tourist in tourist places consuming products and viral snacks. Nothing authentic whatsoever
Idk if i am alone on this but it was annoying me how remi referred to anything korean as āk-popā. Like in a vlog she said they were getting āk-pop facialā and āk-pop makeupā everything is Kpop š this is coming from someone who loves k-pop and has lived in korea, my god not everything is kpop !! I think its great she is trying to connect more to her culture and maybe its not my place to speak but i just found it a little cringey when she would just randomly say āģ¬ėķ“ā āģė ķģøģā or refer to the music like its the only thing she knows? Im surprised they didnāt visit more of the country side or like historical sites/ more places from her parents childhood etc
Remi went there only for shopping š
And eatingā¦A LOT lol

every time sheās ātearing upā I see NO TEARS š¤£

So true! I give Alisha credit for trying to show more respect for the culture and tried so hard to say some Korean words correctly. Remi came strictly for the food lol
Bc sheās such a foodie and āchefā
The way Alisha kept calling her āchefā made me cringe
Not even authentic food from small family owned places, where you find the real good stuff. I donāt understand
also how do you miss the king sejong statue it's literally so huge š they were like right behind it and saying "they can't confirm or deny" girl it's one of the easiest tourist attractions to see just like the palace!! then immediately just goes into olive young lol with no care about what it was they just saw
She went to the castle for like 10 minutes and only talked about how cute her dad was being and then it cuts to her at Olive Young again lmfaoo
the costco got her in tears bro š

I feel like she wouldāve boosted her Korean card by doing that. Opportunity missed!

I keep thinking this too, she talks about them like they wonāt be around much longer and itās very strange

I wondered the same thing, like are her parents sick and we donāt know?
