I try to be as honest as possible with everything I do on the web. My personal belief is that if you’re honest, people will respect you and listen to what you have to say. So with that said, here’s what’s really up with Keith and Seoulistic.com as of this moment.
I’ve been running Seoulistic.com for almost 4 months, and I have seen phenomenal growth. This month there will be 17,000 unique visitors, which is pretty amazing for the short time span. Of course I haven’t done it alone. I am immensely grateful to talktomeinkorean and seouleats and everyone else that have so kindly believed in my content and shared it. Without everyone else, seoulistic.com (and your homie Keith) is nothing. Really, really, really big thank you to everyone!
But the truth is, I’m losing steam! Although the growth and the response have been amazing, it’s kind of hard to keep going without anything that can materialize. So I’m making a one-time plea (hopefully!). In an effort to keep myself motivated and to really see if my online content can translate into something profitable, I am asking for donations. I’ve only had 1 donation so far, and it really made me feel good about my work. And honestly, I don’t want to ask, but I’ve run out of motivation for the moment, and I think this will help me pick up some steam again.
So! If you think Seoulistic.com and my own content here at gyopokeith.com have helped you in anyway, I’d really appreciate anything you can donate. It’ll show that people actually do care about my work, and that’s really important to me. Hopefully it’ll keep me motivated enough to keep going until I can make my own money.
Any donations, small or large, would be welcome via paypal (credit cards are ok). And if you can’t donate, I’d be super grateful if you supported my sites by liking seoulistic and gyopokeith on facebook. Thanks again everyone!

Izzy, thank you so much!!
hi – just randomly click your YouTube and saw how you are Korean-American and living in Korean. Great job. I didn’t really read or go to Talktomeinkorean. What is it? Yes, I am too lazy to click the link.
The reason I am asking is my daughter is attending a UCI writing class this summer and a troup of South Korean kids came to the class. My daugher is saying the kids either have some but most have no concept of English. If they talk, the accent is so heavy – the teacher is having a problem understanding their English. Don’t even ask her about if the kids understand English – because a lot of them just bow when they are asked a question and just give you a “blank” look.
Are the kids really learning English there or are they coming here hoping to learn the language? Just wondering from what I have heard from my daugher.
Continue sharing your YouTube video and please stay healthy.
Hi Sherrie, they are probably there to learn the language.
A lot of Korean kids go abroad for the summer to learn English these days. But parents send their kids in hopes that their kids learn some english in a native-english speaking setting. So hopefully the Korean kids from your daughter’s class will be able to speak some English by the end of the class.
Keith fighting!!! Keep going dude. Your site is a great help for someone like me whose moving to start school at Yonsei soon. So dont stop writing and being all sorts of awesome. Please.
