Hi everyone! It’s Joy from Joy’s Life in KOREA! 😊

Today’s story starts with a fun dinner with my new friend Harry, who’s from the UK. We had a classic Korean "Samso" night (Samgyeopsal + Somaek!), but our conversation led to something much deeper and more moving than I ever expected.

Did you know that the only UN Memorial Cemetery in the world is right here in Busan, South Korea? 🌍 It’s a place where 2,300 heroes from 11 different nations rest in peace, managed together by the world as a symbol of global solidarity.

In this video, I’m sharing Harry’s emotional journey to find his grandfather’s name on the Wall of Remembrance and the beautiful, healing spots like the Daunt Waterway. We also remember the unknown soldiers—those "Known unto God"—who gave everything for freedom.

This isn't just a history lesson; it's a story about love, sacrifice, and the peace we share today. If you’re planning a trip to Korea, this sacred place in Busan is a must-visit.

Hey guys! It’s Joy! 👋✨

Lately, I’ve been hitting the books hard for the TOPIK exam, but today’s discussion class really hit different. 🥺 We talked about the relationship between Korea and our home countries, and honestly? I was so moved by what my friends shared.

From helping refugee children in Poland to standing by Türkiye during the earthquake and supporting Europe during the pandemic—it turns out Korea has been showing up as a "True Friend" in ways I never fully realized. 🌏🤝

It’s not just about K-pop or K-dramas; it’s about a country that doesn't look the other way when the world is in pain. Come hang out with me, Yuria, Yusuf, Kerem, and Maria as we share these heartwarming stories of global friendship!

Do you have a story about how Korea helped your country? Or just want to say hi? Let me know in the comments!

You might know this island as a filming location for Squid Game. But there is a much deeper and more beautiful story hidden here. 🏝️✨

In this episode, I’m taking you to Gyodongdo, a small island where time seems to have stopped in the 1960s. 🕰️ We’ll walk through the retro streets of Daeryong Village, try making Dalgona just like the movie, and see the breathtaking lotus flowers at Gogu Reservoir. 🌸🍭

But what makes this place truly special are the swallows and the people who wait for peace. 🕊️ Sitting just 2km away from North Korea, Gyodongdo is a home for those who long for their hometowns across the water. For them, the swallows are precious guests carrying messages of hope. 💌

Come along with me to see the "Seeds of Peace" on this beautiful island. 🌱
