[SheDevilbg]

Happy Chuseok holiday to you and your family! I hope that your granny will be fine. I was checking YouTube for some video from Seoul and find your channel. I like the videos and I find them very interesting and helpful :) I`ll be waiting or more videos about your traditions and more nice views from Seoul.

[milopiina]

Hyunwoo, what is chuseok day for korean? :)

[zZoOnIa]

hello!!

Can you tell me my name in Korean?

Because I 'm from Mexico and I would like to know.

Do you like SHINee group?

I don't know if you know them.

Because I love SHINee.

[kimchiseoul]

hey, you are always hard working as ever! Just want to know about you comment on on Koreans travelling overseas during Chuseok as "interesting and funny" . Just want to understand from a Korean perspective what do you mean by that?

[ever4one]

@kimchiseoul I said it was interesting and funny because Chuseok is meant to be an opportunity for families to get together and show their ancestors some respect by visiting them and stuff, and that's why Chuseok is a three-day official holiday period. :) And the reason I thought it was funny that many people were going overseas is because they were using this opportunity to actually get away and get some rest - which is very good too :)

[lamyjoongbo]

happy chuseok!!!!!!!!!

[Khyrid]

Question: Are the banks going to open before the holiday week ends? I have student loans to pay.

[ever4one]

@Khyrid Banks are usually always closed on weekends. ^^ You will have to go either on Friday or next Monday :)

[Khyrid]

@ever4one Oh I should have typed better. I didn't mean "weekend". I meant before the Chuseok holiday week (mon-fri) ends.

I'll try on Friday. Thanks :P

[jchogray]

I've been noticing lots of stores and restaurants closed just recently, but I'm not sure if it's because of the Chuseok holiday or because of the rain. Maybe both?

Enjoy your holiday! You deserve it.

[ever4one]

@jchogray I'm sure it's mainly because of Chuseok ^_^ Thanks a lot for the comment! 

[Nemesis093781]

Have fun, and please enjoy your time with your Grandmother at home.

Thank you for replying back, I never knew that Korea have a Thanksgiving sort of like America.

[moststupid]

I hope your grandmother gets better when she sees you. Happy Chuseok Hyunwooshi! :)

[Rei0zero]

[ever4one]

@Rei0zero Hahaha it could be XD

[ever4one]

@moststupid Thanks a lot ^_^!! 

[MrBizcotti]

Have a great holiday, dont eat too much and enjoy seeing family. =D

Question: Do many people dress up in the hanboks?

[ever4one]

@MrBizcotti In fact, nobody actually dresses up in hanbok anymore these days... perhaps only in TV shows ^_^;;

[Shadowdancer21b]

I hope things will be well with you and your family!

[ever4one]

@Shadowdancer21b Thanks a lot ^_^

[MyYummycookie]

What is Chuseok holiday?

[artdong85889]

@MyYummycookie It's essentially the Korean version of Thanksgiving in America! It usually involves family gathering, going back to the "hometown" and a lot of great traditional foods!

[novemberarron]

@MyYummycookie somewhat like mid autumn fest

[qiranger]

Glad to hear that your Grandmother will be home for the holiday! It's so good to be home and not in a sick place. I wish I had Friday off, but alas... only Monday! Still, I enjoy having the extra time off. Safe travels and Happy Chuseok!

[ever4one]

@qiranger Thanks Steve! See you on Saturday!

[xXbenikoXx]

My friend is from South Korea and she just celebrated Chuseok! Have a nice holiday!

[ever4one]

@xXbenikoXx Thanks! :) Say hello to your Korean friend for me! :)

[worldtravel101]

holiday is great. always nice to get back home and see family, friends ,etc

great you got to see your grandma at home :)

[ever4one]

@worldtravel101 Yeah it was definitely GREAT to see her at home instead of at the hospital. :)

[CouchAthlet1988]

안녕하세요,

추석 잘 보내새요!

[ever4one]

@CouchAthlet1988 감사합니다 ^_^ 

[dansuyume]

And Happy Holidays! Give your Grandma a big kiss for me! And when she's like "who is that from?" you can say YT is great, you get love from all over the world, or a really really really distant relative in Hong Kong or whatever you want! I hope everyone has a great time. Drive carefully!

[ever4one]

@dansuyume Hehehehe. I'll try to tell her that next time I see her ^^

[dansuyume]

@ever4one :D Just that, a smile.

[dansuyume]

One of my FB friends said it's like Thanksgiving. So is it anything like Chinese New Year? You have to see all your relatives who call you by your childhood nicknames like Fei-Fei (Fatty) and Jue-sai (Piglet), eat traditional foods, give little red envelopes of money to your ungrateful junior relatives and sing deafening karaoke deep into the night. And don't forget the key to surviving if you're a gwaipoh (white woman) is memorize popular Chinese songs so you don't need to read while you sing!

[ever4one]

@dansuyume It's sort of like Thanksgiving and the lunar new year combined :)

[NakuTie77]

So, next video you're going to explain what Chuseok is, right? lol :D (I'd look it up,but I'm too lazy this morning. XD aaand you explain things better.) ^__^

[ever4one]

@NakuTie77 Yes! :) Thanks a lot! ^_^

[NakuTie77]

@ever4one Yay~! ^__^

You're welcome. :D

[bunnymucc]

I happy that your grandmother can come home even it's for a little time. Happy Chuseok !!

[ever4one]

@bunnymucc Thanks a lot ^_^ Happy belated Chuseok to you! :)

[westislandkev]

[daewooparts]

[dansuyume]

@daewooparts Hello, sugar! It seems like everywhere I go, you've been there first! :D (I mean on YT, but maybe one day I'll visit Gwangjiu.) Can I wish you a happy holiday, too? I hope everyone has a great time. And please drive carefully if you're going to be driving! X's and O's for you. :D

[trueheart101]

You're the best Hyunwoo! I hope your grandmother has lots of health this Choosuk!

[salvaboricua713]

Happy Holiday,say hello to you Grandmother from your Fam: You Tube, and enjoy the last summer days.

[ever4one]

@salvaboricua713 Thanks a lot ^_^!!!!! 

[davecrimi]

Haha I'm definitely one of the one's the went away for Chuseok - but then again, I have no family in Korea and no Korean ancestors to give offerings to ㅋㅋㅋ

Still it would have been cool to see the traditional ceremony. Ah well I guess I'll just have to drown myself in dim sum while here in Hong Kong ^^

추적 찰 지내세요!!

[ever4one]

@davecrimi It would be great to be able to show you the ceremony itself but unfortunately my family wouldn't be too comfortable showing it in a video so I'll only be able to show you the foods :)
