Yunjin was so sweet with charlee. She seems like she’s really good with kids
Solfa just gets what makes good, fun, heartwarming content. And the fimmies are so sweet with kids.
Oooooh this made my day again 😊 the girls are so sweet! Love the interactions! And how the kids are shy but when it comes to the games they go all out 😁
Oh they put two kids together under Korea.
I used to play Choco Choco as a child, I am surprised that 1. Eunchae doesn't know it and 2. that I, a grown woman from the Americas, knows it and also a child from Korea knows it. How random is that??
Sakura being that lovely to the kid with all her struggles with her father not being in her life and all the shit she’s dealt with in her career just proves to me that she’s got a heart of pure light and will be the greatest mom in the future giving that kid double the love. I love her.
I watched 1 min of this on my tiktok and now my feed is full of it..
