KajoPicks: 10 Housewife vloggers you might want to follow on YouTube

Published on

20 years ago, you would never imagine a common housewife could have millions of followers online by just sharing what she did in her daily life like cooking and cleaning.

But that is the reality we live in today. People on the net are actually interested in watching a stranger doing something that our mothers or grandmothers did on a daily basis.

These housewife vloggers sometimes even scored impressive brand deals while making content at home.

There have been some debates online for examples on Reddit about the safety of producing family vlogs.

Questions are raised especially when parents are sharing too much online about their children with almost no regards for their privacy. For instances showing their children’s names, ages and faces as well as their bedrooms.

What makes these housewife vloggers on this list different from other typical family vlogs is that the focus are on them and their lives as homemakers.

Some of their children are not even in these vlogs and even if they did, their faces are never shown.

#KajoPicks: 3 C-drama romances featuring traditional Chinese art to watch

Published on

Chinese art is arguably the oldest continuous tradition in the world dating back to 10,000 BC.

The earliest form of Chinese art discovered may have only been simple pottery and sculptures, but since then, the Chinese have developed and introduced to the world their iconic paintings, sculptures, ceramics and chinoiserie.

Even to this day, China continuously introduces to the wider audience their traditional Chinese art.

One of the most subtle but effective ways taken to promote traditional Chinese art has been through Chinese dramas.

It is reported that China produces more television dramas than any other country.

So how do these television dramas raise awareness on their culture? Easy, one or both of the main characters usually happens to be the prodigy or master of some kind of traditional Chinese art.

While watching these characters falling in or out of love through the story, viewers receive ‘unplanned’ lessons on Chinese art.

So imagine a Malay drama telling the story of how a sape player falls in love with a songket weaver. Isn’t that an infectious way to indirectly promote Malaysian culture?

If you are a fan of traditional Chinese art and romance dramas, here are three C-dramas you should watch:

1.Sunshine of My Life (2021)

Watch this drama on Kukan Drama Youtube Channel

Have you heard of Suzhou embroidery? With a history spanning over 2000 years, it is one of the oldest embroidery techniques in the world and was designated an Intangible Cultural Heritage by Unesco in 2006.

In the drama Sunshine of My Life (2021), Tang Fei (Xu Lu) is a lively woman with a passion for Suzhou embroidery.

During a fashion show, she comes across Tang Ming Xuan (Zhang Han), the general manager Ming Yuan Fashion Group.

Unlike Tang Fei, Ming Xuan sees traditional embroidery as just a business venture.

When their paths collide, Ming Xuan begins to see the importance of traditional art like Suzhou embroidery.

In one scene, Tang Fei explains hand embroidery is a way that gives ‘warmth’ to fabric and is something that can never be replicated by a machine.

The drama also shows that with the support of big corporations who can provide huge funding, it is easier for traditional craft to survive.

2.Because of You (2017)

Speaking of embroidery, here is a romance drama set in an embroidery shop.

Guo Guo (Sun Yi), the real granddaughter of a master embroiderer. She loses her memory after a car accident as a child but was saved by the driver who then raised her in a wonton shop.

As she grows up, Guo Guo’s talent in embroidery begins to reveal itself.

The production team really shows off how much research they put into the drama.

It showcases the various technique of traditional Chinese embroidery including the double-sided embroidery, feather embroidery and golden thread embroidery.

Most people do not know that this Chinese drama is actually based on Korean drama Jang Bong-ri is Here! (2014).

Instead of embroidery, the Korean drama focuses on hanbok or Korean traditional dress making. It highlights the traditional way of making hanbok; from hand-dyeing to hand-sewing every piece.

3.Mountains and Ocean (2019)

Watch this drama on Youtube

Restoring ancient painting requires a lot of effort and intricate work and this Chinese drama really shows that.

Xia Rui Ning (Zhuang Da Fei) is a student at the Cultural Institute of Xiling University who is passionate about ancient Chinese art.

It has been her dream to make a full-time career out of ancient painting.

During her art history class, Rui Ning encounters Ye Lin (Huang Sheng Chi) and Ye Miao (Fan Zhi Xin).

These two brothers have ancient scrolls, painting and artifacts that have been passed down for generations.

With Shen Zhen, the daughter of Rui Ning’s former nanny, the four of them are assigned to restore ancient painting that they accidentally found.

In between sessions restoring an ancient painting, romance and feelings begin to blossom and entangle the four of them.

KajoPicks: 5 Japanese silent vloggers you should watch on YouTube

Published on

If you are not familiar with silent vloggers, they are the ones who do not talk to the camera but communicate via subtitles.

They film themselves doing their normal daily activities such as cooking and cleaning.

Over the years, many silent vloggers have started to pop up on YouTube especially from South Korea and Japan.

While these Japanese silent vlogs are equally aesthetic and calming to watch like the Korean silent vlogs, there is one small difference.

The Japanese silent vlogs circle mainly around the life of salarywomen.

In Japan, a salaryman refers to a salaried Japanese white-collar worker who shows immense loyalty and commitment to the corporation where he works.

They are expected to work long hours and participate in after-work leisure activities such as drinking and singing karaoke.

Typically, these workers enter a company after college graduation and remain with the same company for the rest of their careers.

breakfast 1663295 1920

So here are five Japanese silent vloggers you should watch on YouTube:

1.Rhea Y.

This YouTube vlogger is not a Japanese citizen, but a Filipino who is now living in Japan.

She starts her video from vlogging her life living alone, to living with her husband and now being a housewife.

Her most popular video is ‘Day in the life of Salary Woman in Japan/Winter Time’.

This 22 minute and 28 second long video has 2.6 million views to date.

Besides her main channel, Rhea also runs another YouTube channel called RareRoom. In this channel, she shares her life managing her small online business, packing crafting and more.

Meanwhile, her husband just started his own YouTube channel James P. which features cooking videos.

2.Nami’s Life

Nami describes herself as just an office lady who lives alone in Tokyo without special skills or interesting hobbies.

Still, she managed to gather a massive 348,000 subscribers on her channel with 36 millions views to date.

Her silent vlogs circle around how she spends her time at home, everyday routine and how she spends her weekends.

10 years ago, we bet no one would ever thought that filming yourself living on your own would make you famous across the internet.

And the best part is, no one would recognise you on the street because you do not film your face.

3.Miku

Most of these silent vloggers might be amateur videographer but they are undeniably talented.

They have the knowledge of composition and storytelling when comes to producing a video.
Hence, it is not a surprise for Japanese silent vlogger such as Miku who already gathered 228,000 subscribers although she just started her YouTube channel in February 2020.

Imagine this; 3.7 million viewers have watched Miku’s 5-minute video of her morning routine.

Yes, 3.7 million people watched her putting her skincare and make up, eating cereal and packing her handbag for work.

Watch her video here.

4.Choki

Choki and Korean silent vlogger Nyangsoop seem to have a lot of similarities. Both have more than 600,000 subscribers on their channels.

Plus, they both divide their videos into playlist according to the four seasons; summer, winter, autumn and spring.

On top of that, Choki and Nyangsoop’s videos have them both cooking just like how you imagine a fairy tale character would cook; very calming to watch with a pet cat lounging around.

Lastly, the two vloggers seem to be the masters of hyge living and meditative type of videos.

For Choki, she shares many of her own recipes such as cinnamon rolls and Japanese milk bread.

5.Snow

Last but not least, we have a Japanese silent vlogger who is also a mother on this list.

Snow shares what a mother would usually do such as cooking, doing chores and cleaning except that she has thousands of viewers watching her.

How does watching ‘gongbang’ or people studying online help you?

Published on
pexels peter olexa 4012966

Are you having a hard time studying at home during this Covid-19 pandemic? Have you tried everything that you could to concentrate and be productive that even listening to music doesn’t help anymore?

There are many ways to stay concentrated and motivated while studying alone. One of the least heard of ways is by putting a ‘gongbang’ video on play when you study.

What is ‘gongbang’?

Originating from South Korea, ‘gongbang’ literally translates to ‘study broadcast’.

It sees students filming themselves studying and livestreaming it. Some ‘gongbang’ are prerecorded with soothing music inserted in the background.

It is not sure when or who started the trend. ‘Gongbang’ started to make headlines sometime in 2018 with more and more people livestreaming videos of themselves studying on YouTube.

Those who filmed these videos claimed that it helps them to stay concentrated because the camera is rolling and there are people watching them.

Imagine having your teacher or parents watching over you to make sure you study… now replace those eyes with unknown strangers online.

How does watching gongbang videos or people study on YouTube help you in your own studies?

A Korean silent vlogger Suzlnne who is known for her gongbang revealed in a video how to use her ‘study-with-me’ clips.

First of all, you need to choose a video length depending on how long you are planning to study.

pexels andrea piacquadio 3808057

So let’s say that you are planning to study for half an hour, then pick a video with about the same length.

The first rule is that you have to concentrate the whole length of the video. Another rule is no phones allowed (unless you are watching the video using your phone, put it aside).

There are different kinds of ‘gongbang’ to choose from on YouTube.

Do you want one with background music or without one? How about the sound of a pen or pencil scribbling? Or one with the sounds of rain in the background.

If you are watching the live stream version of ‘gongbang’, then you and the broadcasters are studying at the same time even though you might be thousand of miles apart. Those who have competitive streak in them might feel challenged watching somebody else studying hard somewhere else in the world.

Consider these ‘gongbang’ vloggers as your study buddy who do not know of your existence. Stay focused in your studies while they concentrate in theirs.

Who are the trendy broadcasters these days?

Speaking of Suzlnne, her YouTube channel has around 497,000 subscribers.

Most of her videos are silent vlogs of her life as a college student in South Korea. As for her ‘gongbang’ videos, she has categorised them into different playlists such as with music, at the library (which has the background sound of a library), at a cafe (which has the background sound of a cafe) and the sound of her pencil writing notes.

Another YouTube channel with the username Hyobee live-streamed her studying up to six hours at a time. Her broadcast hour usually takes place between 9pm to 2am. Honestly, she really needs all that studying because she is actually a medical student.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sczn2JF10-A

Nowadays, the trend ‘Gongbang’ is also being caught up by non-Koreans. Instead of ‘gongbang’, they call it Study with Me videos.

A law student from University of Cordoba, Spain started her YouTube channel Estudiar Derecho last Apr 29, 2020.

Since then, she has already gathered 60,000 subscribers. All her videos are just views of her desk while she studies without showing her face.

Don’t find watching ‘gongbang’ motivating enough? How about filming yourself studying instead? Who knows, you might earn thousands of subscribers on YouTube just by studying.

Published on

Raise your hand if you love watching vlogs but cannot stand loud vloggers.

As much as it is interesting to watch strangers living their normal lives, some vloggers out there really go all out with the TMI (Too Much Information).

Besides showing their daily activities, they talk about their ex-boyfriends, sex lives and family issues. For some, it may be cathartic or even therapeutic to hear that other people are having the same, or even more, problems than you.

Then we have the silent vloggers. Unlike other vloggers who unload their lives in front of the camera, these vloggers remain silent.

They do not talk to the camera but communicate with their audience through subtitles.

The country which offers so many silent vloggers on YouTube is none other than South Korea.

Most of these Korean silent vloggers are freelancers, stay-at-home mums and college students.

They document their lives doing normal activities such as grocery shopping, cooking and going to class.

At the same time, they promote slow living and minimalist lifestyle.

Meanwhile, viewers can expect heartwarming stories circling on family and love from KBS World.

Even their variety shows manage to combine both humour and life lessons while entertaining the audience.

Here are KajoMag’s top five favourite variety shows you must watch on KBS World:

1.Boss in the Mirror

KBS World
Watch how Boss Yang Chi-seung coping with his business due to Covid-19 here.

This variety show focuses on Korean celebrity bosses going through self-examinations to create better working environment for their employees.

Every episode features inspiring bosses, all of whom have their own flaws.

Meanwhile, each company featured on this show has different kinds of working environments. Moreover, it is interesting to watch the interaction between the bosses and their employees

During this digital age, for instance, business owners should know how to re-strategise their business in order to survive.

Born in 1956, Korean designer and hanbok store owner Park Sul-nyeo is a strong believer in the power of social media.

She even teaches one of her younger employees how to write an Instagram caption and use hashtags to promote her business.

Another inspiring boss on the show is Jini, a Korean Youtuber who has at least 2.35 million subscribers on her channel.

She runs a startup company to handle her Youtube channels.

2.Battle Trip

KBS World 2

Apart from that, viewers can take note of what to watch out for if you are planning to go to the same destinations.

3.Star’s Top Fun-Staurant

KBS World 3
This is the moment when dalgona coffee was made famous

If you have ever heard or tried the internet-famous dalgona coffee, you have to thank this show called Stars’ Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant.

In one of the episodes, actor Jung Il-woo went to Macau and had its local coffee. He gave it the nickname dalgona for its resemblance to the traditional Korean sponge candy of the same name. Since then, the internet has gone wild, making it the most famous beverage in 2020.

The outline of this show is to have celebrities competing to make new products for the convenience stores.

In South Korea, the convenience stores are more than just a place for you to grab things. It is also a place to have a proper meal.

Patrons can buy these frozen meals and pop them in the microwave oven then enjoy their meal right there at the convenience store.

The aim of this show is to promote Korean agricultural produce such as wheat, pork or chicken.

In every round of the competition, the celebrities have to create a recipe using the designated agricultural produce.

Before that, these celebrities will go on food hunts not only around South Korea but sometimes other countries such as Thailand, Vietnam and Macau where Il-woo had his dalgona coffee.

One of the celebrities Lee Kyung-kyu had a bowl of Sarawak laksa in Taiwan and did not like it.

If the celebrity won, his or her recipe will be produced into a frozen or instant food made available in all the convenience stores in South Korea.

The best part is that the profits are given to help undernourished children.

Besides watching these celebrities having ups and down in creating their recipes, it is also helpful to take note of the places they eat at in the shows.

4.The Return of The Superman

What happens when fathers are left to care for their kids alone for 48 hours without any help while wives get to have some time off?

This show showcases multiple celebrity dads spending alone time with their children when their mothers are not around.

As you can expect, the first part of the show usually shows the wife leaving home before the 48 hours begin and ends at the 48-hour mark.

During this time, the fathers and their children sometimes caery out a task left by their wives.

Sometimes, they just explore new activities with their kids.

What makes this show amazing is how well-behaved these children can be. Professional football player Park Joo-ho’s five-year-old daughter Na-eun for instance knows how to take care of her younger brother three-year-old son Geon-hoo. She even knows how to prepare a simple breakfast for her brother.

The Park family is currently on hiatus from the show right now due to the birth of Na-eun and Geon-hoo’s younger sibling. We will miss watching Nae-eun speaking fluently in four languages (Korean, English, German and Spanish) on the show.

Nonetheless, other children especially Gary’s son Haoh and Moon Hee-jun’s daughter JamJam are so cute to watch.

5.2 Days 1 Night

The Burning Sun Scandal really marred the Korean entertainment industry like never before.

The 2019 entertainment and sex scandal which involved K-pop idols and even police officials started with a prominent nightclub in Seoul, Burning Sun. It was later investigated for prostitution, drug trafficking and police corruption.

From there, the scandal erupted to allegations of rape and spy cam. Singer and entertainer Jung Joon-young confessed to secretly filming having sex with women and sharing the videos in a chatroom.

Following the scandal, Joon-young announced his resignation from the entertainment industry, quitting all the shows which he starred in.

The production team of 2 Days & 1 Night also announced that Joon-young was permanently removed from the show.

This move resulted in KBS halting all production and broadcast of 2 Days & 1 Night. The chatroom also exposed another two members of the show Cha Tae-hyun and Kim Jun-ho’s involvement in illegal gambling. With this, the third season of 2 Days & 1 Night ended abruptly.

Thankfully, the fourth season of the show returned in December 8, 2019 with only one original cast member, Kim Jong-min.

Together with Yeon Jung-hoon, Moon Se-yeon, Kim Seon-ho, DinDin and Ravi, the new members give a breath of fresh air to the show.

Most of them are relatively new in variety shows. It is fun to see these actors Kim Seon-ho and Yeon Jung-hoon as well as K-pop idol Ravi shedding their public images and let loose on the show.

The concept of the show is to recommend various places of interest that viewers can visit in South Korea. Along this trip, the members of the show would play games and compete against each other.

10 ingredients to spice up your baked chicken breast

Published on

If you are looking for a quick, delicious and less guilty source of protein to make for your dinner, look no further than baked chicken breast.

Chicken breast is a great source of lean protein. It is perfect for those who are looking to build their muscle mass since it contains low fat.

Additionally, it is easy to cook, especially if you buy it skinless and boneless from the supermarket.

You can reduce the oil in your cooking by making baked chicken breast with simple seasoning such as salt, pepper and olive oil.

But what if you get bored with your own cooking, especially if you are not even close to Gordan Ramsay’s skills?

Here are 10 ingredients to put some varieties in your usual baked chicken breast:

1.Pesto sauce

pesto 2152234 1280
Pesto sauce

Do you know that pesto is the past participle of the verb ‘pesta’ which means ‘to pound’ or ‘to crush’ in the Genoese dialect in northern Italy?

This term refers to the original method of making a pesto whereby the ingredients are crushed or ground in a mortar.

Traditionally, it consists of garlic, European pine nuts, coarse salt, basil leaves, hard cheese such as Parmesan cheese and blended with olive oil.

While it is commonly used on pasta, pesto is also good with baked chicken breasts.

There are plenty of cooking blogs publishing 2-ingredient or 4-ingredient pesto chicken recipes.

Basically, these recipes are all the same. It is made with skinless and boneless chicken breast fillets covered with pesto sauce as well as salt and pepper to taste.

The dish is then baked in the oven for at least 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, Tasty of Buzzfeed upgrades their version of pesto chicken by topping them with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese.

2.Barbecue sauce

Besides pesto sauce, you can also make baked chicken breast with barbecue sauce.

Just cover your chicken with your favourite BBQ sauce along with a little salt, pepper and oil then oven-bake it.

However, if you want to grill the chicken, do not brush it with barbecue sauce. Instead, grill the chicken on greased grill over medium heat for seven to eight minutes on each side. Then turn and brush the chicken on both side with the sauce for the last few minutes.

Check out this recipe!

3.Teriyaki sauce

The four main components of a teriyaki sauce are soy sauce, sake or mirin, sugar and ginger.

To use it for you cooking, soak the meat, vegetables, fish or tofu for at least half an hour before cooking.

If you want to make baked chicken breast in teriyaki sauce, you can start by arranging your chicken breasts on a lightly greased baking dish.

Cover your chicken with teriyaki sauce before covering the baking dish with foil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in a preheated or until the chicken is cooked.

Once it is cooked, do not waste any excess liquid. Drain the pan and pour the remaining teriyaki sauce over the chicken before serving.

4.Mustard

Have you ever wondered why there are different colours of mustard out there?

This condiment is basically made from the seeds of a mustard plant. Then, these seeds are either ground, cracked or bruised before mixing them with water, vinegar, lemon juice and salts.

The colour ranges from bright yellow to dark brown depending on the added flavourings or spices such as turmeric or green juice of unripe grapes.

The most common ingredient that goes along with mustard when preparing baked chicken breast is honey.

Other common ingredients are olive oil, apple cider vinegar and of course salt and pepper to taste.

Since there are many types of mustard out there from dijon mustard to French mustard, you can always try which type suits your taste the best.

5.Honey

Honey

Speaking of honey, a honey garlic baked chicken breast is another common dish. The marinade is made by whisking together soy sauce, honey, garlic, lime juice, Sriracha, sesame oil and cornstarch.

If you are not a fan of garlic, The Spruce Eats has a recipe for honey baked chicken breast.

The ingredients are honey, brown sugar, red wine, light soy sauce, flour, salt, dried leaf thyme, paprika, ground black pepper, butter and canola oil.

6.Italian dressing

If you have a bottle of Italian dressing in your fridge, you can opt not to just use it on your salad but also to marinate your chicken breast too.

Commonly found in American and Canadian cuisine, Italian dressing is a vinaigrette-type consisting of water, vinegar or lemon juice, vegetable oil, chopped bell peppers, usually sugar or corn syrup.

The best part of making baked chicken breast using this ingredient is that you do not need any other ingredient – not even salt and pepper.

All Recipes came up with a recipe by combining six skinless, boneless chicken breast with one bottle of Italian-style salad dressing.

Seal them in a zip lock bag and place it in the refrigerator for one hour, or even overnight.

Then bake the chicken in an oven for at least one hour.

You can check out the recipe here.

7.Yogurt

To make yogurt baked chicken breast, you need at least two other ingredients; garlic and panko bread crumbs.

Firstly, marinate your chicken with plain yogurt, crushed garlic for one to six hours.

Then transfer the chicken to a baking pan. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the chicken before baking.

If you need that extra taste of herbs, add in thyme in your yogurt mixture.

8.Gochujang

If you are not familiar with gochujang, it is basically Korean red chilli paste. It is a fermented condiment made from chilli powder, glutinous rice, fermented soybean powder, barley malt powder and salt.

Gochujang is an essential ingredient in making Korean cuisine such as Korean braised chicken.

Korean food blogger Jin Joo from Kimchimari reinvented Korean spicy chicken by oven baking them.

The key step in making this recipe is to make gochujang marinade. She combines chopped garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, sesame oil, Korean red chilli pepper, black pepper and not forgetting gochujang.

Then she marinates the chicken breasts overnight in the fridge.

Finally, she bakes the breasts in the oven for 17 to 18 minutes. Jin Joo also suggests broiling the chicken for one extra minute to caramelise it.

9.Alfredo sauce

If you have Alfredo sauce laying around the house, you can use it to bake your chicken breast. Or you can make one from scratch if you don’t have one.

Add cream and butter to a saucepan over medium heat and bring it to simmer. Then whisk in the garlic and simmer for 30 seconds.

Turn off the heat and whisk in the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. To make the sauce smooth and creamy, continue to whisk it until the cheese has fully melted.

As for your baked chicken breast with Alfredo sauce, spread a layer of the sauce on the baking dish. Place the chicken breast over sauce before season the meat with salt and pepper.

Add some chopped broccoli over the chicken. Before the chicken make it to the oven, pour the remaining sauce over the chicken and broccoli.

You can top it with Parmesan cheese if you want to. Finally, bake it for 40 minutes.

10.Balsamic vinegar

Here is another ingredient from Italy that makes the list. Balsamic vinegar is a very dark, intensely flavoured vinegar, made wholly or partially from grape must.

It is used sparingly to enhance the flavour of steaks, eggs or fish.

Make a marinade using balsamic vinegar, then you can make another version baked chicken breast.

Mix together balsamic vinegar, olive oil and other flavouring such as salt, black pepper and garlic to make the marinade.

Remember, you can always tenderise your chicken breast before baking using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Check out baked balsamic chicken recipe here.
