Envy you so much!! you can met Michellephan! she is also one of my fav youtube makeup guru! and you are my fav korean food guru! OMG, it will be amazing if you can visit singapore. I will go singapore and meet you. I stay very near to singapore
Please, please try to make an party or cooking class at singapore.
Thank you so much! I had a great time at the camp!
Congratulations on your success and hard work! I’m glad you are a sensation after watching you for the last couple years. You are smart, genuine and fun and people are lucky to meet you. I hope one day I run into you and I can say, “Maangchi! I love you!”
Hello, Maangchi. COngratulations! I’m happy that the youtube people were able to appreciate your talent. The way you cook and produce the videos is very good! I have been cooking a lot of your recipes for my family this summer. My mom likes your jinpang mandu very much. I just have one question (hope you can answer): What software do you use to put the subtitles? haha. It’s kind of unrelated to cooking, but I really want to learn how to produce videos.
aww, thanks! oh she loves jjinpang mandu? https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/jjinppang-mandu
I use Adobe premier to edit my videos.
Your welcome! Definitely, she loves it! Usually she’s a very slow eater. I say, “Mom, I already ate 3 cups of rice, but you haven’t even finished one cup!”. But when I made jinpang mandu, I said “Mom, I only had 3 jinpang mandu, but you already finished 5! This is a miracle!!” Before I left home (I study far away from home), I made her 3 batches, which she kept in the freezer! Thanks a lot Maangchi!
What a fun experience! I love watching the video with everyone in it. You guys all are so smart and creative! I’m so glad they chose you, you deserve it! :D
Thank you so much!
YouTube camp sounds like fun. Congratulations on the prize/check! Your blog and tutorials have set a standard of quality for food videos. Its nice to be recognized.

P.S. I 2nd the above commentor “koreanfoodfan”.. who is behind the camera shooting all your videos?? I’m dying to know too ;)
” you’ve completely changed my life” awesome! I’m so happy to hear that. I have a few friends who film my videos. Someday when they become not camera shy, I will announce them. : )
wooo go maangchi!! i’m so excited for your global cooking project, and glad that u had a great time at the camp. can’t wait to see your next posts.
Hi Paul, I updated your Korean food fan page just now, so you can see the red heart right next to your name. : ) Thank you so much. Yes, it was such an amazing experience for me to attend the YouTube Nextup Creator Camp.
Hi Maangchi,
I’ve been your silent reader for quite some time. Sorry that I make comments quite late. I don’t normally comment on anything.
But you are the first one I want to make it. I love your website, your recipes & especially your simplicity & authenticity. You are doing an excellent job & I’m happy for you with the above news. Wish you all the best.
Thank you for sharing.
yay! thanks a lot! I have so many silent readers and I love all of them! Do you see the lady in the last photo on this page? I was surprised to hear that she has been making so many Korean dishes with my recipes but she has never emailed or left a comment. But when she saw me at the subway, she came to me and thanked me for my recipes. That’s great!
Kia ora/Hello/An nyoung ha seh yo from a New Zealand fan.
I’ve been enjoying watching your videos for a while now. I apologize for being so slow in making a comment.
It sounds and looks like you had a fabulous time at the course:)
I love your videos already. They are so easy to follow and your enthusiasm is catching that sometimes even without being able to source the exact same ingredients I have made some dishes. For example when I made ddukbokkie/the hot and spicy rice cakes I couldn’t find rice cakes in tube form so ended up with rice cake sheets. The dish still turned out delicious and I ended up making it the following day as well!
I would love if you came to my city, Auckland, in New Zealand.
We have a lot of great tasting seafood, meats, and fresh produce. There are markets where Korean food items can be bought. And New Zealanders love being social over food.
At the moment Korean food is not well known to a lot of people though and it would be good to have you introduce it.
Well, as always I look forward to seeing more of what you have to share.
Till next time kia kaha/all the best/aja!
P.S. I wonder if we’ll ever get to see who is behind the camera…
” I made ddukbokkie/the hot and spicy rice cakes I couldn’t find rice cakes in tube form so ended up with rice cake sheets. The dish still turned out delicious and I ended up making it the following day as well!” That’s a great tip for those who can’t find the rice cake for ddeokbokkie!
It will take some time to plan my global cooking show. Stay tuned! Thank you so much for your support!
I’m extremely Happy for You … it seems you had interesting days with everyone there , Go Go Maangchi ^_^
Maha, thanks a lot! Go Go you, too! haha
