Michelle Choi

[Velvett0ast]

Is the new car a Porsche? I’m not even going to give her the hate views anymore, she’s so bloody boring

 

[daninicole_xx]

The Dior bag thing was SO WEIRD.

I watched the first video, then saw she re uploaded it but I didn’t watch the second one.

She absolutely did say she was going to invest the money back into her own account lol. That’s so scummy to do. If they think they’re going to be together forever, then the bag is actually a sentimental (albeit expensive) gift to keep for a lifetime.

I’m sure she’s gifted friends a Chanel bag or something for their bday lol?

Yes the Dior bag would’ve been expensive, but he chose to buy it and knew he could afford to, and wanted to spoil her. Her reaction was cringe.
---

He seems nice looking. But wtf those photos
And yes in answer to your question she deleted the part in her video where she said she'd put the bag money in her account.
I watched the first edition last night - and it jumped from him giving her the bag to her saying she was returning it and putting the money in her account.
She must have rewatched, or got comments (or read here ) and realised how ungrateful and cold it looked. So then added/cut bits.

Oh the comments on the first video were 90 percent negative about the bag situation hahaha

I was surprised to find a Michelle thread. She has started to irritate me lately and I can’t put my finger on it. I know she’s always been a vlogger, but I just find it all so try-hard now, the whole appeal of her earlier videos was how candid she appeared to be. Now it’s just constantly staged cringe shots. The content is just so boring now. I really enjoy her cooking vlogs though.

As for Ivan, I got the impression that she was the problem in the relationship from some of her comments post breakup. I’m only speculating, but she comes across as needy, immature and attention seeking and Ivan seemed a bit more mature than her. They just weren’t a good match and I was dumbfounded when they got back together.

I find it interesting she seems to find men with exceptional jobs, that are high-earning. She is not really relatable anymore. I doubt her parents are financially supporting her, they seem to live and work quite humbly.

Idk what the deal is with Esther and Freesia, I love them though, they seem like genuine girls, but Michelle acts like a princess.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Her latest what she eats in a day video.
I'm torn as in many ways it is good to see someone eating with so much enjoyment. But honestly does she really eat that much every day? Her 'snack', between a large lunch and large dinner, consisted of five sausages and sides.

 

[glenn_coco]

Haven't watched her vlogs in ages. I did see her latest one - the title says "couples therapy?" Already? LOL

I think she once said they're doing it so they can have complete open communication as that's something she's struggled with in past relationships.

But of course the only snippet she showed of their couples therapy was him gushing about how being with Michelle has made him a better person and because of her presence she's made all his personal relationships with his family and friends even stronger.

Like, that's lovely and non-toxic masculinity is great, but she didn't show anything about how he's affected her, so it just came off like a massive humble brag.

 

[LaraQ]

Every time I watch her vlogs lately I’m just in awe how she affords everything. Even her headband to wash her face is Chanel

I still can't get over the size of her new apartment.That is massive for New York.

 

[missmina]

I hope we get a real look at her new boyfriend soon.She soft launched him over her last couple of videos, but blurred him out.

If I was her I would have waited a bit more. Especially with the whole hanging padlocks and I love yous for the yt public.

 

[davisroe]

I haven't even watched the Paris one. I know it would irritate and depress me too much tbh. You are right that it just glorifies this bizarre over rewarded lifestyle of getting a huge amount for not much. Because your face fits. She is so unrelatable now I just can't. And isn't even interesting any more. I loved her Korean videos - crazy to think she had about 25k followers then. Now it's about 2m.

I haven’t either. I just looked at her instagram to see if she’s anywhere near me so we don’t cross paths lol. I stopped watching a month ago I’d say, it was so boring, so repetitive, and I can’t stand the lying about being a homebody when she’s out partying more than anyone I know. Like stop lying for views for the love of god…….

 

[LaraQ]

the new boyfriend is Joey kiho Kim! He’s a model/online influenced/doctor. they're in the same social circle and he's good friends with freesia's current bf (they went traveling together in the last year). They’ve been together since early this year so it was RIGHT after things ended with ivan.. She used to post emoticons on his thirst traps on IG lol but he's since made his IG private since some fans connected the dots. The reason she blurred his upper body in the first YT vid was because you would have been able to ID him by his arm tattoos.. She didn’t conceal his voice though and there’s a random video on YT where he’s giving an interview (and the voice matches up)..

That was the second time she split with Ivan and I got the sense he was the one who ended it again.Her new boyfriend is hot.Weird combination though,Oncologist and influencer.

 

[quanu]

Does she have any siblings? Very lovely video, but I did catch myself wondering why I was watching a video about a random older couple. Not that they aren't sweet or that it wasn't a sweet trip! Just the places YT leads you too. I can't belive she's moving again so soon, but I think she loves moving, gives her "content"

Yeah she says she’s the oldest, never mentions bro. What does she mean retire parents? She’s really giving them enough to live on? Or their business is failing and she’s helping them sell it. They probably have their own money saved since they worked 30 years, but she’s going to take credit?

Weird that comment “ I’m finally going to do something for myself this year”? She’s taken so many trips to Korea for plastic surgery and that video where her mom went back after 30 years of nothing but working and couldn't see her own mom? That was shocking. Pretty sure she could have sent her a ticket before then. I think she’s possibly living with blurry guy since she got such an overpriced apt. I’d think she knew better than waste money like that just for herself .

 

[LaraQ]

Also used to be a huge fan of her vlogs, haven’t watched any in the past two months. Reading about how she treats her fans is disgusting.

She's definitely gotten colder and more remote over time.

 

[Jelly Bean]

I watched the first video, then saw she re uploaded it but I didn’t watch the second one.

She absolutely did say she was going to invest the money back into her own account lol. That’s so scummy to do. If they think they’re going to be together forever, then the bag is actually a sentimental (albeit expensive) gift to keep for a lifetime.

Thank you! I was sure I saw her say that but then doubted myself. I bet she just didn't like it but thought exchanging it was worse than keeping the money
Neither of them need the bag money as they are both wealthy in their own rights - it makes no sense that this money was absolutely vital for their future together.
Wonder if she'll mention it in her next vlog. Probably something vague about haters making her depressed.

 

[missmina]

It seems she doesn't have a thread here and I was curious what others think of her cause I'm quite confused sometimes. I like watching her and she seems rather unproblematic and nice however some things seem suss.

First of all I'm jelly of the amount of food she can eat and still stay quite skinny. In the newest vlog she made like 4 giant meals. I wonder whether it's natural or just for show. She's been on a "weight gain journey" before, as she mentioned, though that seemed weird to me cause while she's slim she didn't seem to have to gain weight necessarily. Idk.

Second thing is her finances, I remember on the other closed forum a bunch of people were suspicious of how she manages to fund her lifestyle. Especially when she first moved to NY and was claiming she's fully independent and "just saves money" thus is able to rent a big apartment in fancy NY neighbourhood when we can constantly see her buy expensive stuff (like electronics f.ex.) on a whim.

Lastly, there were lots of rumours about her having had a plastic surgery, probably back in SK. Supposedly she somehow managed to make her old pictures disappear from the internet (I seem to remember seeing some on the deleted forum but now they're gone). She denies ofc.

Super interested what you think!

 

[quanu]

Yeah I see how much she relied on being in the city for any relevance. Burbs feel old and deathly dull. Why she shacking up, must not be sure of blurred guy. I forget how old she is but she’s getting older, can’t rely on just cuteness, actually need some content. She just regurgitates proven accepted vlogs by others influencers, has no creativity. She uses the same music years later. It’s clear she’s about materialistic success nothing more, but is lazy and the rudeness to subs I think is just what happens when people have money and are social climbers like her, she is going to be nice to wealthy or powerful that could be of use, not people she deems wanting something from her . It’s obnoxious. Then she films herself being nice, so fake. She responds to all the gossip on her. I will believe she’s “ nice” if she does something truly philanthropic not just for show. But I was never a big fan,her filming herself eating is just crazy narcicism and people just like her persona she cultivated and her PS.

 

[lmnop90]

She always had a very "blah" personality/mindset and people liked hanging out around with her because she was simply put, pretty. She had a "possy" during high school, who were blatant bullies (not to me) but to people they did not consider cool, etc. I spent a good chunk having to be around her - she was high-strung, yelled at people, and got into fights. She went to Korea because she did not get into universities anywhere in the US. Her looks have gotten her this far as a means to gain followers and traction on Youtube/Social Media.

Ultimately it's everyone's choice to continue to support her by watching her videos and following her on instagram. Given that, I think that there are plenty of other influencers out there who are much more down-to-earth and have more substance to provide versus what I've seen from the couple videos that I've watched.

While I won't be supporting her, I hope that people who do end up reading this thread can hopefully reconsider whether they want to support a girl who is clearly okay portraying herself in a way that's deceptive to her following.

 

[ccc123000]

I suspect she moved closer to the bf? All of a sudden, she feels like being in the busy part of the city is too much for her. I also feel like she broke her year 2 lease for her apartment? She came out with a vlog where she said she decided to stay one more year in her apartment, and that doesn't seem too long ago. But I could be wrong.

And yes, that massive apartment! I had to pick my jaw off the ground.

 

[LaraQ]

Whilst I never particularly warmed to Ivan,he never indulged her worst instincts the way Blurry Salsa Man does.He seems to encourage her increasingly vapid behaviour.

 

[missmina]

But she constantly buys overpriced shit so why is she suddenly pretending she’s so good with money and humble lol. Bitch we can see right through that. The whole video is extremely weird, like it’s so obvious she put it in the video to pretend to her viewers how relatable she is (she’s not) but due to her total lack of social experience it came out creepy and embarrassing. It’s also kind of giving out vibes that she wants to be in control in the relationship - why do you insist on your bf to save when you constantly overspend on luxurious stuff. Focus on your own saving first. She just recently bought multiple items from chanel lol.

 

[getawaywithit]

Sigh. Why is it so “interesting” that Michelle seems to find men who are high earners with exceptional jobs ? What is wrong with that ?


I have seen a lot of replies about Ivan, her ex boyfriend, being a lawyer. However, in a q&a she posted with him, the thumbnail is of him and her in the car, she states that she pays for dates often times. So like ??? Lol.

Look at statistics. Culturally, Asians , including Indians choose high paying jobs because their / our parents force us to focus on school. We value education in our culture. This is the norm, all of my ex boyfriends have been doctors or engineers (I am an engineer as well thou ).

Anyway, it’s annoying and screams of jealousy or nitpicking when people on this thread bring up her dating high earners / career men.

If you had the chance too, you probably would too. Michelle , if you are reading this, don’t feel bad for dating men with value. We don’t even get universal paid maternity leave in this country. We could risk our lives and give birth to a baby in this country and not even have adequate time off. Femicide. The glorification of the “Dad bod” yet women (who actually give birth to the baby) are expected to snap back ASAP. Men leave their sick or chronically ill wives so much that nurses are taught to warn women when they are diagnosed. This is a great video detailing everything I just said with studies and examples ;


**used women / woman Bc that’s what I identify as **

Anyway, I feel like Michelle is definitely lacking. Like she has no substance in her videos. I don’t know how to explain it. Like her videos aren’t deep or anything they’re just vlogs and I feel like we barely know her. Her connection with her subscribers has no substance, does this make sense ?

Girl, wtf are you talking about. It’s notable that Michelle has picked up doctors and lawyers because she’s an Influencer and most Influencers tend to pick up men in their industry or industry adjacent, or they have some long term bf from school with a vaguely non-notable job. That’s why people have remarked on it. You were so excited to go on your rant about ~high value~ men and dating down that you made up a story about how we think about dating and men. No one here would be opposed to dating a doctor or lawyer lol. As you yourself said, you’re dating an engineer and— you’re an engineer. Oop.

Also, the Influencer job is so ‘unique’ that it would be difficult to reconcile some things between that role and a partner with a high demand job like a doctor/lawyer. I noticed Michelle already has a bit of that inferiority complex with him and trying to look super busy and career minded when he mentions his work.

 

[davisroe]

He also has a very very bad reputation in Ktown Nyc from what I’ve been told by trusted sources who live in nyc.
