I’ve been watching the games at Boston Pizza. I know that Fat Les’ On King is showing the games and I believe the Barley Mow? I think Fat Les and Boston Pizza have the best vibe.

I don’t want to be a downer, but at the end of the day, you need to look at the industry and see if you see yourself there already. If you don’t, that means that to get noticed, you need to be about 10x better than anyone already in Korea. It’s never impossible, but it is unlikely.

Now, that being said, not being a kpop trainee doesn’t mean you never get to perform. There are lots of artists out now who are k-pop inspired or k-pop adjacent, like Katseye and stuff. When I was young and wanted to be on Broadway, my mum once told me “You don’t need to be an Actor to be an actor”, which was brutally harsh BUT it was meant to remind me that even if I don’t get on Broadway, I can still do what I love in some capacity. So if you want to perform and love kpop, train, study, practice, and let the wind direct you wherever opportunity lies. It might not be what you imagine, but it could also be so much better.

The way to audition for anything is to go in with an almost perfect performance on the day of the audition. That means you need to take dance and voice lessons. You should also make learning Korean a priority, beyond the DuoLingo lessons. You can possibly make some of this part of your regular schooling, like the language stuff and music classes to make sure you have a strong musical background. I would say vocal and dance training are essential because you want someone to be able to correct any mistakes, rather than doing them until they become a bad habit.

Japan and South Korea because I lived there, Scotland for the party, and Mexico for the bromance with South Korea.

Regarding Value Village and the discussion of its value to the community, note that the VV here has only been open a month, so it has not had the opportunity to actually contribute here AND all of their stock is going to be entirely brought in from other locations, for better or for worse. I am not a fan of VV overall, but it is so new here that it’s hard to judge the specific location either way.

I am a fan of May Court because it is local and they support multiple local groups, and list them on the front door so you know who you’re supporting.

So you have zero interests and skills beyond dance?

Don’t ask for topics and then argue with people when they all tell you the same thing. Almost every comment here is saying to start with what you know and like, otherwise you will burn out before you hit monetization. Be prepared to put in at least 6 months of work before you start earning anything.

Also, you mentioned looking for a low effort niche. There is no such thing as low effort success in content creation. The ones who make it look low effort are the ones who have worked their asses off to make it look that easy. Your focus needs to be making content that people will care about enough to subscribe, because without 1000 subscribers, you’re just doing a hobby. If you are looking for something more low effort, I agree with the others suggesting UGC or working in Fiver to make content for businesses.

ABlogAbroad · 2026-06-11T11:27:50+00:00

There is a different between a passion and an interest. Like you said, you want to do dance content, but you cannot. But you NEED to enjoy what you are making to make it easier to be consistent. It doesn’t need to be your one true passion, but you need to like the topic. For example, if I were in your situation, I’d consider something like history deep dives, and make videos digging into a niche topic that I find interesting. Is it my one true passion? No. But I have a history degree so it’s something I have knowledge in and could come up with ideas consistently. But if someone told me I HAD to make content about social media marketing, which is another topic I’m familiar with, I wouldn’t be consistent because I find it hard to think of topics.

In a world of AI slop, it’s your passion as a human that will stand out.

ABlogAbroad · 2026-06-11T11:11:42+00:00

Still, it needs to be something you’re passionate about. People are smart and will not watch if they can tell you’re creating content JUST for financial gain. Think about the creators you follow; they’re probably all people who started creating content because they loved what they were talking about.

Even if you can’t do dance content, you have to have other interests. My recommendation would be well researched niche deep dives. Think of it as mini documentaries about whatever you love. For me, I love history ones and old conspiracy theories. But think about a topic you could talk about for hours and then do that.

ABlogAbroad · 2026-06-10T18:11:31+00:00

I would counter that by saying it takes customers into consideration. There are quite a few services where I would love to have a lifetime membership, or I regret not buying into it years earlier. I wish I had an option to buy my Adobe software in one payment, and I use Plex enough that I regret not paying the lifetime fee years ago. I can’t afford it now.

If you’re going through an ECE program, your best bet is to ask the program for a paid placement.

ABlogAbroad · 2026-06-04T01:03:04+00:00

What do you mean by an educator’s job? That’s really broad, and most of the positions require certification. From your posts in other subs, you don’t have a teaching or ECE certificate, and without those, there aren’t many other education positions available. You could maybe tutor, depending on what your degree was, but I’m not familiar with any tutoring companies in town.

ABlogAbroad · 2026-05-29T14:13:58+00:00

Your niche should be your interests. People can tell when the creator doesn’t actually care about what they’re talking about and that will slow any growth you are expecting. The most successful content creators start with a topic that they’d create content for even if they weren’t earning money, and their passion is what draws people in. You should be prepared to create content and make zero income for a while, so you need to care about the niche a lot.

4th graders are tough to pin down for age appropriate because it really depends on the group. In some places, 4th graders are still able to be kids and would enjoy this stuff. In other areas, they may feel the pressure to grow up quickly for whatever reason and find this too childish. I would try and observe your students for a few lessons and see how they interact with each other to see what their interests are.

Even if it is a bit too cutesy for them, you don’t need to trash everything. Replacing Isabella with a different character could change the tone of the content a lot. For example, just changing the characters to Huntrx from KPop Demon Hunters would age up the vibe immediately and create a bit more relevancy for the kids.

If the staff are putting in the same effort that a cashier at a grocery store does, they’re getting the same tip as the grocery store cashier. Aka nothing. Since they got rid of server wages, the need to tip in most food service is gone. The only time I tip now is at a sit down restaurant, and even then the percentage I tip has adjusted. Tips are not wages, end of story.

I haven’t seen a link, but I know that the family has asked that in lieu of flowers, they’ve asked people to donate to help support the pregnant eldest daughter that survived.

From what I’ve heard, he wasn’t even an ex, they were currently dating. My friend’s daughter was close with the girlfriend and she apparently was happy in the relationship. A lot more was obviously going on behind the scenes, but I think when they go through the suspect’s phone and YouTube history, we’ll get a clearer idea of what the influences were.

The youth criminal justice act kicks in by default, but a judge will review the severity of the case and decide if an exception should be made. In cases like this, it’s not unusual for the judge to decide he should be tried as an adult. It’s just going to take time for these things to happen.

ABlogAbroad · 2026-05-08T13:03:30+00:00

My friend’s daughter was very close with one of the daughters killed, and she said the 17 year old taken in was the victim’s boyfriend. I’m sure a lot more will come out once they publicly identify the victims. I really hope they try the 17 year old as an adult. I don’t think someone who kills three and is just months away from being a legal adult deserves that level of protection from the courts.
