42: Korean-American living in Vietnam: The ups and downs of 15 years abroad, his insecurities and challenges living in America, and why he prefers Vietnam over America

Abe Yevato Kim is a Korean-American who grew up in California and attended Ivy League University of Pennsylvania.

He might be best-known as Old Boy in Kyle Le's Youtube videos, show-casing life in Vietnam.

Upon graduation and after not finding much success in media, he resorted to test-prep education and took the model to Vietnam shortly after the Great Recession in 2010. 

Adjusting to life in Vietnam has been a roller coaster--cultural differences, language barrier, and competing with other educational institutions were challenging for him.

Despite these obstacles, learn why Abe says Vietnam is one of the best places to live on earth for other minorities such as Asians.

He prefers living in Vietnam to America and won't be returning home anytime soon.
