hi
Yayyy!!!! 🙌🏾❤️❤️❤️
i DID 100 YRS AGO! LET'S GETTT ITTT!
59:21 이건 팥떡이 아니라 찹쌀떡 😅
So exciting!!!! I waited patiently for the video. Thanks for sharing. It’s a lifetime memory. Blessings
we all know Joe isn't very reactionary on cam but he looks SO happy and you can hear the excitement behind his voice as he's vlogging 😁✨👏🏾
Yesss it shows 🥰☺️
Yes!!! 100% what a fulfilling experience
Yesss that’s so truee
He's reconnecting ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ plus Joe's merch is banging 👌
So true 😂
Amaya’s doing such a good job learning how to speak Korean!
Amaya is as much intelligent as her mother Alena. Strong and bright girl.
Her accent is really good. I'm sure even native speakers will say she has good intonation and pronunciation. When she is more comfortable it'll be really good
Amayah was learning Korean at least 6 or 7 years ago. All the older girls have had Korean language lessons and Arazo and Ajedi have attended Korean School. Amaya is an amazing person
When you embrace learning a different language it's Easy to absorb. The other children may not get excited so much and that's OK 🤷♀️
yea she’s doing incredible, isn’t she also learning other languages cus she wants to do sum sort of job relating to languages right?
I love how Alena includes her sister and her kids in everything they do. Such an amazing bond they have. Thoroughly enjoyed this video from beginning to end and love everyone of the Maze-Lee family ❤️❤️
The black girl is a Alena' s first born daughter. When Ale a knew Joe she already had 4 kids the last four are Joe's.
@@gigithr5110 I know that. I was referring to Alena’s sister who’s also on the trip with them. Read the room!
I love to watch you guys your a amazing with your family god.bless you❤
Is her daughter not her sister she has 4 kids before meeting her Korean husband @@yemol9454
Is her daughter not her sister she has 4 kids before meeting her Korean husband @@yemol9454
Alena hyping up Joe all the time and telling him how cool he looks in Korea👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 She’s an amazing Wife!
This vlog was packed of so many good moments! I literally watched it twice 😂
1h never felt so short…
Can’t wait to see the other Korea vlogs🥹👏🏾❤️❤️❤️
Itaewon may best neighborhood
Ikr I loved seeing the way she'd hype him and Korea
@@maiiialik
The oldest son has matured so much. Very handsome. Time is flying, I remember when he was a baby.
Same I was gonna say that!! He grew up in front of our eyes
Mothers... They're a blessing. Look at Alena playing and having patience with all of her kids from oldest to youngest never losing her playfulness but at the same time keeping her firmness. Amazing. Moms are miracles.
You guys deserve your own Netflix Series 😃
👍
Exactly
I agreeee!
Best comment!
Agreed 😂
This trip was for Amaya honestly, she's enjoying this more than everyone 😊
It was her birthday gift 😅
She was jumping around in excitement 😭😭 Cute
Alena too.
@@juanitawatson596 yes
😂😂 She is having a blast!
8:39 It's so sweet when the people behind the counter are patient and appreciative of the kids trying to order in Korean
Korean people are generally very kind thoughtful respectful people if you show respect. They don't like disorderly conduct people; loud, inconsiderate, selfish, unruly, littering etc..
Amaya has a really good accent when she speaks Korean. Impressive.
Koreans are so sweet. That old man on the street who gave Arazo a free snack for taste...that reqlly warmed my heart. ❤️
I love how Alena and Joe always make their trips an educational experience to the kids 🫶🏼 Enjoy South Korea 🇰🇷
Exactly ! Me too .
Joe can be so proud of Korea. It’s clean, it’s polite, it’s beautiful……
Maybe I will visit one day soon...hopefully😊
She looks like she fell in love all over with her hussy. Her admiration of her husband and his culture was so cute. The support they have of each other is so beautiful.
I’ll say it again , the best childhood for these children 🥺🥺❤️. Thank you Alena and Joe 😭❤️
I’ve been to Korea when my daughter was adopting my grandchildren. We stayed for a couple of weeks and we loved it. My oldest grandson was also adopted and he was two when we picked up his brother up. They are now 21 and 18 and grandma’s pride and joy. We called the oldest Ben, but his Korean name was Dong Min Park. My youngest is Evan, but his Korean name was jai Su Kim. Have fun and try to take it all in.🥰🇨🇦😘
that’s really beautiful
It makes me happy to support your family by viewing the videos. Many people learn to parent, heal from family tragedies and remember their past joys by experiencing things like this trip. Joe gets a chance to be immersed in roots and the kids become more solid in the fullness of their ancestry. It will be a trip of a lifetime for everyone.
Only 3 children plus the baby are of Korean ancestry.
I think 5 of them the 3 arent his
@@nancieiftihar7019i thing so
I agree!
@@nancieiftihar7019The first 4 children are not his but the last four children belong to Joe
Amayah is a beautiful humbel girl always smiling and helping her sibilings
멋진영상 감사합니다
보는 내내 제가 함께 여행 하는 듯 했습니다
온가족이 한복입고 북촌 여행이 너무나 아름다웠습니다
한복 입고 다니기가 쉽지않았을 텐데 모두 수고 하셨습니다
아름다운 가족을 항상 응원합니다
My mother has been a dedicated follower of your channel for several years, remaining a loyal subscriber throughout.

As a result, we're thrilled to reveal our intention to emulate your trip, both in terms of destination and leisurely activities. The anticipation is truly infectious! May God's blessings continue to pour upon you and your family. ❤❤❤
Thats beautiful
That’s awesome, wishing you and your mum a glorious journey ❤️
@@yemol9454 Thank you so much 🙏🏼
@@Lonesome__Dove Amen! ❤️
Beautiful ❤
I am not hitting on your husband but yes, Joe did look good in his traditional clothes and the rest of you looked great. The colors made your skin colors pop. Alana you are a great mom. You do black women proud with all your accomplishments, you are appreciated.
사랑스러운 가족들❤ 모두 한국에서의 좋은 추억들 많이 만들고 가셨길 바래요 아빠의 뿌리를 잊지 않고 한국을 방문해 주셔서 감사해요 ❤❤❤
Amaya being secretly adding into her parents saying 4 ppl. Commenting on her Korean! You inspire me Amaya…. I’m learning Korean now at 30+ and you rly speak rly well!
The love I have for you guys, is on another level 💯❤, may God continue to bless your beautiful family
I hope Joe and Alena had some proper quiet time together.
they might make another baby in Korea😂🥰
Seems to me they get plenty 😂
Another baby loading den .😮😮😮
Oooooh No they have had plenty alone time😂😂😂
@@ireumpau9954😂😂
The kids looked so beautiful in their Korean Attire!!!
Ajedi’s cam was too cute 🥹 even his pictures were quite good. Also the way you guys create content it’s wild you make an hour long video feel like 30mins it’s always so so well documented 😍
12:45 AWWWWWWW THE WAY THE LITTLE BABY JUMPED THEN RESTED HIS HEAD ON HIS MOMMY AWWW 🥹🥹🥹
It was funny when Alena asked joe for some food and he said “yeah” but when he wanted some of her food she was like “mm mm we not doing that”😂😂😂😂
It's because Alena is still breastfeeding the baby she needs so much food to fill up her energy.
@@inemesitebong4254 oh of course I’m just making a little joke😂
...hehehe u saw that too
This thumbnail is EVERYTHING!!!! 🌷🍃
i’ve been looking for a comment talking about it cus it’s way too perfect!!!
I like how Alina is embracing Joe's culture she looks cool ❤
I love to see you and Joe. I'm Mexican and Native American and my husband is Korean and Black. He lived in Korea for his first 10 years. Our son is so beautiful just like your Children. Love your family blessing going your way.
You have a truly beautiful family that never fails to amaze me. The unique dynamics between each individual, whether parent or child, are incredibly special and equally captivating in their own right. I've been a fan of your vlogs for a long time, and I must say, these vlogs from your Korea trip have been an absolute joy to watch from start to finish. Stay safe, and please continue being the amazing family you are!
I want to mention that I've never actually left a comment on a CZcams video before, but I felt compelled to share my thoughts this time.💌
Ome thing about Alena, she's a kid at heart🤣😂 love it
Joe and Alena i just love how rooted they are and the values they teach the kids❤
THIS FAMILY IS A REAL LIFE HUMAN UNIVERSITY! I AM ALWAYS LEARNING OR EXPERIENCING SOMETHING NEW! ❤❤❤
The way the baby jumped scare worry when his mother screamed and then came to hug her, very special 💜 Also I love that Not Today satan jacket, wish it was mine 😄Love your videos! Enjoy Korea, from a fellow Korean African American from canada 😊
wow~ 한국에 오셨군요. 이 채널 늘 즐겨보고 있어요. 축복된 가정을 믿음으로 세우고 이루어가는 모습에 많은 감동 받고 있어요. 안전한 여행 되시길 바래요~💝💝💝
Can't we focus on Joe's smile! His blood is boiling from within, his roots are reacting. It's so beautiful to see! Spectacular. Blood cannot be forgotten. Congratulations, Joe. Your parents must be proud of you, despite everything. Blood is blood. And Alena is an amazing partner. Look at her being happy vicariously because she sees you radiate happiness. It's clear she's there because YOU are there. It's a great experience for the kids too! May you guys enjoy other beautiful trips in Korea. 💕 I'm loving this.
I’ve always wanted to travel to Korea but you guys just increased my love for the country and the culture.it’s such a beautiful place
I love that you guys are sharing your experiences in Korea~! We are a military family and we were stationed in Japan with 4 children and had an opportunity to visit Korea and I wish that we could have shared our experiences…loving your experience is so wonderful~!
Happy for the Korea update. I watched many of you vlogs and I was amazed to see that vlog of the zion visit. Spectacular landscape. Quite a view for me as a geography teacher. I appreciate how you grow the kids amazing experiences for them.
I love your family so much well done, Alena has really made me happy, the way how she’s been excited throughout their visit embracing Joe’s culture and made him feel comfortable and connected. May God continue to cover your family ❤
Alena flirting with Joe is life!! 😂😂😂❤❤
The kids are orderly and adventurous. Thanks for sharing such intimate parts of Korea - their foods 😋 homes and it’s peoples. Gomawoyo🙏🏽
Oh my goodness, this video was such a blessing to behold. I am so happy for your entire family. You have no idea how watching your videos educate us on relationships, family dynamics, culture. It even strengthens me and encourages me that I can one day be a Mommy as well.
I’am enjoying following you guys on your trip to Korea, Congratulations Joe for exposing your children to your family culture. I’am so proud of you guys the way you are raising your children s.
Korea is a very beautiful country and you guys exposed us to so many things, thank you so much.
i love this family.there so real and loving.god bless to everyone
I love your family. So genuine. Alot of family put on fake and do to much for social media and your family just goes along day to day and the camera is just on
I'm so glad that you all posted something about your trip to Korea. You guys are having so much fun! Thanks for bringing us along!
Beautiful footage! I love that the kids were encouraged to practice the Korean that they learned over the years. Such a beautiful family and precious memories to cherish. ❤❤❤
I love how you both build each other up all the time. It's so important. Incredible roll models for not only your children but for others also. ❤
❤bj
So happy that you're sharing your experiences with those of us that will never be able to travel to these wonderful and beautiful places of the world. Amazing memories!
You guys are my very best. You put God in all you do.
such a beautiful culture to experience. The Koren, language, food, the people and outfits. Amazing.
I have just finished watching the video. Amazingly great! I saw the notification when the live premiere was about halfway through. I had to go back to the start and I was so engrossed impressed and I learned quite a lot from your video that I didn’t know before about Korea. Joe looked so comfortable and relaxed even baby boy seemed to be more relaxed. Thanks for sharing. I am waiting patiently for the next episode of the Korean Travels ❤❤
Oh I am so happy to see Korea through the eyes of your camera lens.
The markets are huge, I would not know where to start and what to look at.😮
Continue to have a great and blessed time.❤❤
8:39 is such a cute moment! Love seeing the kids speak Korean!
Very interesting to see how they lived back in the day. Not only are they the original minimalists it shows that humans need very little to be comfortable & happy. Nice to see your sister & family.
엄청더울때오셔서 고생하지는 않으셨는지~~~~~~~아이들과 이쁘고 행복한 추억 가득한 여행되세요
Thanks for sharing! I’m happy that Joe was able to visit his native country! Can’t wait for the next video! God Bless! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
This video is worth the wait and all that in an hour. Indeed Korea is overwhelming like Joe said but its fun to see it all. I think it has a lot to explore and learn. I loved the markets, the streets at night, the traditional culture and all that being experienced with Family is what I call a perfect vacation. Can't wait to see more😌🥰
Korea looks really good on your family, especially Joe and Alena, it's like y'all have a glow.
Just love all of you and your sister and her kids. Blessings to you all
I was so excited to see you book the trip ,pack and now to be in Korea🇰🇷 . As a child of a military man I internationally traveled a little. Seeing your children see Joes ancestry to understand what region his family is from will be so cool. Overwhelmed with excitement for y'all. Busan is different from Seoul and so forth . Through your lens I see a wee bit of your travel . Thanks for sharing ,Sending my ❤️ 😍 and prayers.
Couldn't wait for your vlog. It is so overwhelming, kudos to family for getting around and trying the language. Have fun and stay safe everyone.❤
Joe and Alena. Love how you push your kids when they hesitate. Like Akyli ordering iced cocoa..
What an amazing time you guys had and thanks for taking us along. Such a beautiful family and I love the fact that you don't forget to pray,just beautiful. Butters is adorable....❤❤❤
Lovely family😊 your visit to South Korea means a lot to each and everyone of you. It made me very emotional too but as an Asian, it highlights the history, culture and food which too defines part of the identity of your children. How nice🤩
Hey you guys, A big thanks for taking us to Korea with you! I enjoyed the adventure and had a great time! ❤
Couldn't wait to hear from you Mazelees' ! Hope everyhing is going well for you during your trip. Love you guys, God bless you all ❤

It’s culture… it is great family! Thank you for sharing such energetic and beautiful travel of yours 🥰💯😌😇🙏🏽stay blessed! Proud of you all 🫡💯🙏🏽
You are so amazing Mazelee the way you absorb knowledge wanting to explore and learn more. I love watching you and your family. You have so much confidence you pour that into your family.
I like how Alena experiences it, her enthusiasm and gratefulness about this trip ❤
Loved seeing this part of y’all’s journey.
Finally an inspirational family for me to visit Korea with their children who are so cute and speak so fluently waiting for content with a long duration and happy holidays for the mazelee couple, hope you are happy and fun!!!❤❤❤
I have been watching your family for a while now. love yall's channel and i adore the children. Congratulations to Amiyah for graduating. i really love how Alena is stern and how Joe is so laid back.

Keep up the positive up bringing and the good vibes.
💯 % happy for you guys. Keep on teaching the kid the Korean language 👍🏾. Culture ❤

Love how thoughtful people are about noise where locals reside. That's really cool.
It seems like 365 days a year, there's something new to do in Korea. Mazelee and her family seem like they are having so much fun. This is such a fun video to watch. Basically, the kids are well behaved and polite. Lot of English on the signs and stores and eateries. The Market Places in the Malls are far too busy for me. I get dizzy looking at it from my computer🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I love the Korean culture.
Lovely! The Korean village looks like the setting used for Hwang Jin Yi, one of my favourite Kdramas. Thanks for bringing back such memories!💕
The way she makes her husband blush 😂❤
Thanks for sharing your 1st week in Korea. It’s nice to see everyone truly enjoying everything Korea has to offer. I enjoyed this video so much. I look forward to more Korean travel vlogs. God Bless
I love how Joe loves you so much and alena is so awesome at bringing a smile and happy to be with husband and kids ❤
It’s wonderful sharing your journey in Korea . It’s also nice to see the joy Joe has . ❤
I love that he recognized and commended her 8:39. Shes always trying.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. It is. Truly a wonderful blessing.
너무 즐겁게 봤습니다~ 다음 영상 기다려져요~ 가족 모두와 먼길 갔다 오시느라 수고하셨어요~~
Traditions are important. For children to learn and know where they r from❤
Joe seems happy to be there and the amazing wife of his was willing to share is heritage with the fam ❤love that. Keep it up
Awwww 😍 this is so exciting, thanks guys for sharing, I love Korea and its on my MUST VISIT list. I've sincerely enjoyed you taking us along, I've marked places I won't miss out when I visit 😊
Thank you for sharing and can't waiting for the next videos.
I agree with Joe. It's overwhelming crowded and cluttered in the stores.
Overall, it seems like you all had a good experience.
Agree. I've been to other countries with these kinds of markets and cluttered stores and it's really overwhelming and exhausting. I think especially introverts can feel their energy getting drained 😅
I feel like Im’m watching an official documentary/tv show. ❤❤❤
Communication and family bond is so way up at the top, family, keep up the good work!!!
This has been a Very Enlightening and Interesting Trip🇰🇷🥢🇰🇵👘
You all are Truly Family Oriented not just at home but on all your vacations!
It’s Amazing to see how the children are interested in participating in the tours as well. So much knowledge and information imparted into your family🙏🏼. Thanks for sharing 🤍
I really enjoyed your video of your Beautiful trip to Korea. I felt like I was there with you.All the sights and sounds were so amazing. I really love your family and how you all embrace Korean culture. I really want to visit Korea now. It’s such a beautiful country. Thanks for sharing. I love you guys❤🥰❤️😊
