Hello everyone, this is Helena from the Alpha Korean Class.
This video is a Korean interview video that has been ongoing since last week.
Because it will be conducted entirely in Korean
It's a good video for intermediate learners to practice listening.
This is a great video for learning natural and fresh expressions used by native Koreans.
Please check the Korean subtitles below
If you still find this insufficient
Just so you know, you might want to turn on the English subtitles.
Let's begin today's interview.
Today's interview topic is shopping, precisely.
Then let's get started.
My first question.
Was there anything you recently bought that you particularly liked?
That's the question.
Yes, I really like this Sony camera.
I'm filming myself right now.
This camera is the Sony RX0 Mini camera.
I also filmed my recent vlog video with this camera.
As you can see, it is very small and lightweight.
By the way, have you watched my vlog?
It seems like you'd like me to see it.
Please describe an item you like.
If there isn't anything special that particularly catches your eye,
Please describe the item you would like to purchase.
Because I liked this thing,
I'll explain this.
This is for me to shoot a vlog
I bought it again to start outdoor shooting once more.
The camera I used to use was a Panasonic camera.
It's a camera that looks very much like a camera, compared to this one.
So when I carry that camera and tripod around with me
People will soon realize that I'm a YouTuber.
Sometimes it can feel a bit awkward.
I felt a bit uncomfortable about going outside with that.
But this camera has truly excellent features
Right now, like this, I'm taking a selfie
Even when taking a picture of myself like this
There is a viewfinder in front of me through which I can see myself.
And the camera is extremely lightweight.
It's absolutely no trouble at all.
It is a very light and compact camera.
This is a tripod; excluding the mini tripod,
That's enough, camera.
It's very small, isn't it?
Yes, I really, really like this camera.
Next, conversely, among the recently purchased items
Is there anything you regret buying?
Why don't you like that thing?
Yes, the one thing I regret buying lately is this cushion.
It's a Kill Cover Foundation Cushion from Clio.
This product is actually really good.
Lightly worn, it's perfect for the current weather.
I don't want to wear multiple layers of makeup
When I want to do light makeup for a vlog
Just apply it once and make the lips look neat
I bought it intending to use it conveniently like this,
When applied like this
I felt as if I were turning white.
So although it does differ somewhat from the original skin tone,
Still, I use it for bright, vibrant makeup
I thought it would be good.
But when I tried applying this to my face like this,
Am I not becoming a Peking Opera performer, my friends?
Yes, a Peking opera actor is precisely referring to an actor like this.
I used to be number 21.
I've used the color of unit 21 quite a lot.
I even wondered if my skin had gotten darker, you know.
Now, here's the next question.
Do you like shopping for cosmetics? You asked me that.
I used to really enjoy going to cosmetic stores.
Because it helped improve my mood.
So lately, Olive Young in Korea, for example
There are cells, and there are lalabla too.
I'm at various cosmetic stores.
You can try on lipsticks directly when you visit that store.
You could also apply it all over the back of your hand.
You can try spraying some perfume too, can't you?
So even if I don't buy it
The joy of discovering something new
That's called child shopping.
I think it's correct to say that I like shopping.
But after the COVID-19 pandemic,
First of all, because I'm wearing a mask
I didn't wear much makeup.
So interest in cosmetics naturally declined.
My interest, which had faded once, didn't seem to come back to life again.
I found myself going to the store only when I really needed to buy something.
It doesn't seem as fun as it used to be.
Next question.
I still need to do skincare even if I don't wear makeup.
Do you have any products you'd recommend?
You said so.
So I brought the product with me.
One is a skin tonic product launched from this Aveda.
It says "Minsenshin Toner" on the label.
So this one is pink.
A slightly opaque pink
You can see this liquid inside.
In fact, it's not just this product
There's another model line that came out from that Aved.
It seems to be that pollen line.
I really like the products from that line too.
The reason I like this is
My skin is extremely dry.
So not only in winter, but all year round
My skin is very dry.
So if you don't use the product properly
My skin feels tight here.
You might not be familiar with the expression "pulling,"
Go to the store and find something that can truly solve my skin problems.
I was looking for such cosmetics.
The employee recommended it for me.
This product is really moisturizing.
You said to try writing it once.
That's when I started writing.
I love this so much
I have used this product for a very long time.
And there is one more product.
This product is an ice cream from Plecento.
This product is no longer sold at Olive Young in Korea.
That's why I only sell it at the Robs store.
When this ice cream falls down
Go find that store or
Ordering online
Icreeam, who keeps thinking.
I think it's been about four years since I wrote this.
I also bought this based on a store employee's recommendation.
Previously, I couldn't get used to Aikrim like this
It was Icream Yumomin.
So I was writing this, then that, but I didn't like it.
The reason is that most ice creams
Apply it like this under the eyes
My eyes feel heavy.
It's not refreshing at all.
But if you apply something too refreshing as well
Because I'm feeling so dry
There's no other feeling quite like it.
Therefore, I'm looking for something light yet long-lasting in moisture.
I was looking for such an ice cream product.
It happened to be just that kind of product.
If you are also as extremely dry as I am
We recommend this product and this product.
Don't you have any Korean products?
I heard that Korean products are famous.
I heard that Korean cosmetics are famous.
Therefore, I would like to present to you
I knew you were going to ask anyway
I've brought the product.
For now
The first product I would like to recommend is
This is a face mask.
This is now BTS
Is it also famous in advertisements?
Medihill's mask pack
I also think this one among them has soothing effects from tea tree.
I love this mask pack the most.
I usually go to Olive Young once a month
Each time it falls, this much
Bring 10 at a time, 20 at a time
Left at home
I do this the day before filming.
Therefore, diligent people
There are even people who do this every day.
I can't go that far.
Usually one each the day before shooting
I'll use this mask pack.
But yesterday I forgot again.
I forgot and didn't do it.
And one more thing
I have a Korean product that I've been consistently using.
I'll let you know. Just a moment.
Ta-da!
This is exactly it
This is the I-Makeup product I use.
Among I-Makeup
This eyeliner
It's an eyeliner.
These are all products from Clio.
So I
Everything else keeps changing constantly, but not this.
This eyeliner product
I always buy a Clio product whenever I drop it.
This eyeliner is mainly for me
It is used to fill the mucous membrane inside the eye.
This is the tail at the corner of my eye
You know, there are times when you do it like this.
It's a product used at that time.
Therefore, this product is not by Cleo.
I have used other products before too.
In the end, I always come back to Cleo products.
So, is there also a place where you live?
In a Korean cosmetics store
When you see this kind of eyeliner
I really recommend Clio products.
Then, Miss Helena is
When shopping at a store
Do you like going shopping alone?
Do you like going together?
What a question this is.
I think it's fine to go together as well.
I also like going alone.
So I went to the store to go shopping.
You're saying you like me?
OK.
Yes, why?
Well, first of all, there are too many advantages.
What's good about going together?
I have my own tastes as well
From the person who went along
There are some new pieces of information that I've come to learn.
So I only used this Clio before.
What's so good about it?
Doing it like this, my friend, for example
I can also recommend other products.
Then, I went to buy lip balm like this.
I don't know what to buy.
I like this. Use this.
You might also receive recommendations like this.
And as for my own taste, it seems like
I'll only be listing the stores I always go to.
The person who went along together
Let's go to that store over there to buy it.
I like that brand.
Such a brand that I had never known before
Introduce them as well.
That's why I'll go with you.
There is also a lot of new information gained.
I like this point.
And what's good about going alone?
In the store where I want to be
It could be sufficient.
The brands I like at that store
Now several have been determined.
Someone who almost never goes there.
As much as possible at that store
I like to enjoy things.
Especially if they say they want to try on something like clothes,
I'm coming over having tried on an enormous number of clothes.
So, if I go alone, it's fine as long as I go alone.
If we go together, we'll go together.
I think it's fun.
Oh! You seem to like clothes.
Where do you usually go shopping for clothes?
asked that.
Yes, I like it.
I like buying clothes after trying them on.
As a result, when buying clothes
Mainly able to try on clothes comfortably
I like spa stores.
Especially likes the Zara store the most
I also like going to H&M stores to take a look.
And the Aesop store
About these three places, I...
Just go to the store once
When I think I should try putting on clothes
These three places seem like must-visits.
And I have grown up with so many clothes.
This is also a child's clothing.
There's a white T-shirt worn inside this one.
This one is also a sprout.
My pants are getting tight.
Now that I think about it
I also bought these earrings when I was living in Gara.
This is not a shrimp earring.
Anyway, I really like Jara a lot.
This is the last question.
Do you have any shopping tips that only you know?
If so, please share it.
Here are some shopping tips I know
I will inform you.
Whatever you buy
Whether you're buying cosmetics or not
Or buy some clothes, whichever you prefer
Whether you buy a camera or not
There is a truly essential product that I absolutely must buy.
if one says
Before you leave for sure
Go and check YouTube.
In Korea, Korean people
You search a lot on Naver, don't you?
Naver has not yet
There are a lot of advertising posts.
That's why such a piece of writing comes out
High probability of being a lie
Yes, I received and spent money through paid support.
Because there is a large amount of such content
I think it's better to avoid such writings.
In my opinion
YouTube is much better.
I think in this way.
For example, the type of content that is now appearing quite frequently
Spring clothes
There are many contents about women's spring outfits.
Before going to the craft store
If you search on YouTube
New arrival
New arrivals spring 2022
Visit to a Zara store
There are videos like these by YouTubers.
Then, after taking a look at it once
Ah, so this is the current trend these days.
It's just not a good match for me.
It could be like this, too.
That seems to suit me.
It's fine.
Look for something that seems suitable for me.
Likewise, cosmetics are the same now.
I need to buy a cushion.
Then, recommend a good-value cushion
You know, videos like these, right?
So after watching those videos all the way through
Then go to the store
Is it only suitable for that YouTuber?
Otherwise, I should check whether it suits me too.
So go to my store and
Try on the clothes personally, or
In a manner such as applying cosmetics like this
We recommend that you try it for yourself.
In that case, one would live like that.
The likelihood of impulsive purchases also decreases significantly.
The probability of the shopping failing also decreases significantly afterward.
That's the shopping tip I'm sharing with you
So you bought that cushion without searching for it?
Oh no, caught!
I'm in too much of a rush.
Since it was just sitting there in the store without being searched for
Just ran over and bought it
This is a mess, folks.
How was it for you, everyone?
I am here with you today like this
I shared my story about shopping.
Because I am not a fashion YouTuber or beauty YouTuber
Actually, talking about clothes or cosmetics
It was a bit burdensome and difficult to convey clearly.
Probably the story I'm telling is
What fashion experts talk about
Then the stories told by beauty YouTubers
It might be slightly different.
Because I am not an expert in that field.
But you, ordinary people
Just an ordinary Korean woman
How to talk about cosmetics
Then I buy clothes, what do I buy
Regarding such shopping
With what expression
Whether you are conveying what you want to say
What I can show you
With the heartfelt wish that it would become such content
I'm a bit clumsy, but
My shopping experience for you all
I've prepared a video for you to watch.
And also, there's a phrase you might not be familiar with
If you would like to know more details about that part,
Leave your questions in the comments.
Then, I'll provide a lecture video regarding that expression.
Let me come up with a plan.
