Death is never easy to deal with, and Korea has been through some tough times in 2014. It’s Chusok in Korea today, and I don’t like talking about death very much.

The Kpop group Ladies Code was dealt a terrible blow when their car slid into a wall during a terrible rain storm not too long ago. I actually remember that night well, because it was raining hard all day and into the night, and school hadn’t started yet so Richard, Maki and I were just home all day. We woke up to devastating news the following day because the car accident happened on a sort of highway that Richard and I have driven on often.

This video was hard for me to make. I just wanted my message to everyone reading and who have watched the video to be this: Take the time to love the ones around you while they’re still here. Let them know how you feel often. Try to live a happy life, and be as content as you can be with what you have.

I know we’ve all heard something like this before, but you never know what you have until it’s gone.
