From Teaching Gen Z to Making Viral TikTok Content
The year is 2023.
I just wrapped up another year of teaching high school English and decide at the start of summer vacation to try something new.
Maybe it’s all the time I’ve spent talking to and mentoring Gen Z, maybe it’s my love of telling a good story, but I start talking to the internet and find that the internet talks back.
The second video I ever posted was about a pair of rings my mom gifted me as a Korean tradition. That video, filmed and edited in my bedroom, went on to get over a million views, 59 thousand likes, and over 600 shares on TikTok.
The sixth video I ever posted was talking about one of my favorite stores on Etsy. That video went on to get over 1.4 million views, 124 thousand likes, and over two thousand shares on TikTok.
Even more curious is that I did all this without ever posting my face or name publicly.
Turns out when I talk, the internet listens.
