Chapter Text
(Video scene Cut #1)
After the video, the song became low as the camera showed the scenery of a few people in front heading out from the plane door and the stewardess saying goodbye to them kindly.
“K-kamsamnida” A slight nervous voice from Izuku said to the Stewardess, who couldn't help but softly chuckle. “Kamsamnida!” The voice stewardess replied to him with a low head bow then cut to izuku walking on the boarding bridge with a smile while a few people were behind him.
“Guys, I made it to Incheon international airport in Seoul, Korea. I can’t believe I am actually here by riding a plane, safely.” Izuku said before fanboying quietly before coughing a bit to be normal and continue.
“Honestly, In my first time riding a plane coming here is really fun, interesting, and relaxing but one problem…Ear pressure” Izuku informed, tapping his ears a bit.
“I have to yawn sometimes to get the pressure out but I read that is normal whenever you fly a plane so I will have to get used to it” He shrugged his shoulders with a smile. Then there were speed-up shots of montage scenes showing a few parts of the Incheon airport, wide and clean it is.
(Video scene Cut #2)
“Since I am still here inside the airport and got the change of my cash into the local currency.… ” Izuku said on camera as he was looking at the camera with a smile while he was still inside somewhere in the airport.
“Right now I am going to figure out where I will head out to where I am going to stay. From what I gathered before coming here, the airport is a one-hour ride to the Centre of the City. I have two options: take the train or the buses which is ten dollars or one thousand plus in yen for each of them” He lifted up his hand, rubbing his fingers together to say “I have money to spend it but I don’t want to waste too much.”
“That much” Inko thought as her mouth fell open in shock that the Buses and Trains from the airport to the city of Seoul are slightly cheap but which understandable because it is a long way ride there.
“So as much as I want to ride the train, I decided to go for the buses, So I could see the outside view of Seoul. But first I need to find the train station” Izuku said with a wondering look before a cut to a panning montage of people waiting and getting their luggage in the Baggage claim then cuts to shoot a scene where Izuku's hand is waving at a helper bot.
“Hello my name is Airstar, I am Incheon international airport’s helper bot…” The helper bot said in a robotic tone then cuts to Izuku was looking at the camera as he seems to be outside of the airport without his jacket on. The people behind him were minding their own business waiting for the taxi or loved ones.
‘I am now outside the airport, waiting for the bus to my Airbnb in jongno gu, Seoul.” Izuku informed with a sheepish smile then started to breathe in and out once so he could smell the air of korea. As there was a meaning next to him about what is AirBNB. “And as you could see…I am not wearing my jacket with me since the weather here in Seoul is warm.”
The song starts when there were short shots of montage scenes inside the bus driving and showing a slight blurry afternoon scenery of a city. Then shows that he is going down the stairs of the bus then the bus driver is getting izuku’s backpack from the bus luggage compartment and gives it to him.

Izuku was looking away from the camera as he could see that seems to be at something with awe while walking in the streets with no people behind him just the building, trash bags on the clean street that will be picked by the garbage man the next day. Even a few cars are driving parked.
Then he turned to the camera “Hey guys, I just got off the airport bus to walk to my Airbnb which is just three minutes away from the bus stop. As you could see, there is a school nearby” Izuku moved away as the camera was pointing to a large school, slightly covered in cherry blossoms as a few of the petals are falling slowly
“From I gathered, that school is an ordinary school…not a hero school and can’t you believe that cherry blossoms are not only blooming in japan but as well as South Korea.
“I never knew that,” Inko thought with an awed look as she was watching the cherry blossoms were growing in South Korea as well. She can’t believe as well that they are a Korean high school is close by to where her son is temporarily staying.
“I finally arrived outside of the entrance of the Airbnb called the…” Izuku and along the camera started to move pan while there was drum role-playing then second later children saying “yay” background. “the Banana split Backpackers Guesthouse….!” he cheerfully said with a smile, trying his best to pinpoint.
“I know that you all think that its a silly name for a backpacker hostel business but I think its cool and I saw it has four-point five stars and amazing reviews,” Izuku added with a sheepish smile, giving a thumbs up.
The music started playing, the video started to show montage and panning of some interior and exterior inside the place where izuku is temporarily staying. In the interior, it shows some like the hippy-like living room, dining-living room combo, and lots of Fujifilm of people who stayed there before. Like families, backpackers, (probably) villains, and heroes. On the exterior, It only shows the roof with people were sitting on the bench seats, talking to one another or busy. The roof has even an exercise bike and hammock.
Then video cuts while the music stops, when it shows a woman with dog ears and tail, probably working in the backpacker guesthouse, was unlocking the door completely before it opened. Then izuku came in the room and videoed a slight fast peak of the single bedroom
The video panned to the same worker who was outside the door before it panning down and up one time. “S-Sagwaheyo,” The shy voice of izuku said as the Korean woman couldn’t help but chuckle.
‘Cheonmaneyo” The lady replied at him with a smile and slight head polite bow before closing the door so izuku could be alone in his room, privately. Then the video cuts to izuku looking away from the camera again and making a freaking out face
“Guys look at my Bnb bedroom…!” Izuku said before the video cut show what’s his temporary room looked like. It shows a stainless comfy bed, a cool-looking wallpaper, and an aircon. “Comfy and no stain on the Bed and blanket…I approve” The video shows izuku’s hand doing a thumbs up.
The camera then moves to the right, showing from a table with a phone to a few posters on the wall which izuku made the gasp. “Oh Kami, I didn’t notice that there were posters of heroes on the wall! There is Rodeo Cowboy hero: Whippy, Peacock Heroine: Feathers, Mummy hero: Anubis, and oh… the symbol of peace and number one hero of japan, All might” Izuku made a fanboying squeal when he saw the poster.
Then there was a cut showing a door inside the room as izuku’s hand was on the door handle. “Inside this door, I think this is a…my own bathroom. awesome!” Then there was a video cut to izuku, smiling on the camera.
“Overall, my room is cozy and comfortable, so since I gave you all…my lovely subscribers a room tour. If you're want to know how long I am going to stay here in this place in this place for five days then two days heading to Busan.”
“Well i am going to I am going take an hour nap before heading out for dinner” Izuku wink covered the camera with his hand.
When the places inside the building were being shown, Inko couldn’t help but be surprised because the rooms were clean, not too fancy yet busy. When she saw izuku’s bedroom that he will be temporarily staying is really cool and slightly nerdy due to the hero posters on the wall. She couldn’t help but chuckle softly since the room almost reminded her of her son’s room. Inko is also glad that her son is taking a rest before leaving.
(Video cut scene 4: one internity later)
After izuku covered the camera with his hand then a minute later, it was uncovered izuku walking out. “Alright, took my sweet one-hour nap and now we are heading out somewhere in this city and going to this chicken restaurant called Oppa Dak Chicken. It was recommended by a follower of mine who is from Busan, South Korea. Hello FlameonboyofCali!” Izuku cheerfully said as he waved the camera.
“As you can see, usually I use Hero Maps to head to the final stop but from what I watch and heard on herotube, South Korea doesn’t use hero Maps or app map…Shocking right” Izuku informed as a shocked emoji appeared on the video.“well there is a good explanation for that and that is this country wanted to promote tourism, so tourists around the world could ask the citizen here where they want to go ”
“It is a struggle for tourists like me to ask locals since they will try their best to help you but now…”Izuku stopped walking as he gave a get-something look before he took out his phone in front of the camera. “The lady who works in the banana split told me that Korea has their own map app that is slightly similar to hero map or other apps called laser Map.” Izuku Informed then made a serious look as he looked at his phone. “I will have to skip to the video montage guys…I will have to learn about the app.”
Then there was a cut to a video montage with a start of the background music. Arriving outside the bus stop, people standing or sitting inside the ride, passing by shops and buildings before there was a cut of Izuku walking on the sidewalk, passing by people. Mostly young adults wearing some cool, colorful and fashion style clothes. Wearing make-up that makes look younger.
Even showing the mannequin inside the stores was showing the next season of fashion. Then the music stops when the video cuts to some teen street choreography dance to Beggin by Maneskin while half a people stopped and surrounding them to watch.
There was one scene of two girls dancing very cool and skillful for about two minutes before one of them with sharp teeth then looked up and began to blow out of different color smoke from her mouth surrounding the two. She and the other girl began dancing separately as the mixed color smoke screen immediately stopped before it spreads out and a male teen with glowing dark blue eyes came in. The mixed color of clouds began a wide spin in a circle around the boy, who started to dance.
Then the video cut to izuku walking away from them. "What you saw there are street dancers, using their quirks while they are dancing,” Izuku said as there was people gasped background sound.
“I know what you were thinking, using quirks in public is illegal unless you have a hero license. Well, my lovely followers let me quickly explain south Korea’s quirk laws. They have cool yet strict laws about using quirks in public, if they want to use their quirks freely to dance or sing their artistic way at the same time be heroes, they have to attend hero arts academies, where they teach the art of dance fighting…yes that is a thing, look it up,” Izuku said with a serious smile, pinpointing of a picture of a dance fighting that pops up on the video.
“or use vocal quirk in hero and talent practice training. So if you come and visit here, there will be some heroes street dance or part of the boy/girl band using their quirk. So all of you, tell me in the comments, what is your country’s quirk restriction laws?” Izuku asked.
Inko was surprised and amazed at what she learned about South Korea not using google and letting foreigners ask locals to promote tourism. She was worried at first that izuku might be lost but when he mention Korea’s own map app, inko felt relief. When South Korea’s quirk restriction laws were mentioned, it was lightly fair and interesting to use your hobby or talent to fight against people who harm people.
(Video cut scene 5)
After izuku asked, the scene shows a panning a chicken restaurant called Oppa Dak chicken restaurant, then close up the pan to the menu before video of chef cooking chicken from afar where izuku standing. Then a cut to izuku looking at the camera as he was sitting on his seat, inside the restaurant.
“So I am inside in Oppa Dak chicken restaurant…its medium size but I never imagine that it would be a full house” A video cut to camera tilt were people inside eating different types of flavored chicken with sides and beer while talking with their friends or family before cutting to fast forward of izuku talking to the server
“Since I am here, I’m nervous and excited to order the chicken here” Izuku said, shivering in excitement. “... from what I read in Flameonbusangirl’s text. The restaurants that sell chicken in Korea are really popular because its different, it will blow your mind, it stays with you, and not only that…it is good with beer. which I can’t since I am not old enough yet” Izuku informed while the words of “don’t worry I won’t drink beer. I am too young” pop up.
The cut where the speed of the video became fast, showing the waiter came to him before the two of them talked while the green-haired boy was pointing at the menu at what he wanted. The waiter nodded and leaves izuku, Izuku looked back at his camera as the music stopped.
“Guys, my first language barrier became real…I’m just saying yes to the waitress who took my order. ” Izuku couldn’t help but embarrassed smile. “But no worries, I am pointing at what order at what I want” He took out the menu and pointed at some random food as an example.
“Even though she replied in Korean that I don’t understand, I just smiled and nodded at her. So that is a tip for you all that you do when you want to visit in South Korea” He informed with a smile before there was a cut to izuku nodded at the waitress, who was leaving while there was two types of chicken, and another type of fish cake dish in front of him
“Kamsamnida” Izuku thankfully said to her before looking at the camera again. “So guys, these are the food…one Half and half seasoned chicken and the other…I think its called cheese tteokbokki. Those are the food that I was recommended to order this by FlameonmanCali” He explained, lifting up the plates to show it on the camera. “Thank you, FlameonmanCali” He thankfully said.
Half the chicken looks ordinary and plain from the eyes while the other was covered in red sauce and small tiny seeds on top. The tteokbokki or simmered rice cake looks like a sort of pasta with red sauce. So I don’t know what all of them taste like but I always say always in my channel don’t knock it if you try it,” He said, shrugging his shoulder with a sheepish smile.
When Izuku took a bite of the original chicken, it made him widen his eyes while nodding. “Oh my gosh, this is seriously, seriously delicious. I mean even though it looks original, it is different. Its not greasy yet it is boneless. Its better than KFC to be honest…sorry KFC!”
He began to show the original chicken on camera a bit, showing that it was covered with something. “If you look at the chicken, it is covered in something, I am not sure but I will ask…” He unsurely stated before there was a cut, showing izuku looking at his phone.
“O.k I texted Flameonbusangirl about it and she said the chicken is covered in Batter rice…” He informed, putting his phone away and ” Izuku joked before taking a bite of the spicy chicken before he hummed softly, tasting the spiciness that is kicking him
“Mmm, The chicken is giving my mouth a kick …ooh WOW! it really has an afterburn there as well” Izuku said with a surprised tone before getting water to drink. “You guys know that I love spicy food but this gives the cake. I mean it gives a smooth sense of security then stings you into an afterburn” He couldn’t help but chuckle before looking at the cheese tteokbokki.
“Now…” Izuku spoke as took out the metal chopsticks next to him. “Let’s taste the tteokbokki…” He picked up the rice cake with the chopsticks causing the cheese to stretch out. Then izuku took a bite of it. “Mmm…” He hummed while chewing the food for a while before swallowing it.
“So good…its a mix of spicy and sweet.” He said with a smile. “it really goes along with the cheese and the cheese” He added before the was cut to izuku dipping the original chicken on the tteokbokki sauce with his hand.
“I read the text from Flameonmancali that original chicken tastes better with the tteokbokki sauce…” He said. When he took a bite, izuku couldn’t help but softly chuckled while slightly swaying his head.
“Oh my gosh, this is a good combo!” He exclaimed in surprise while still chewing. “I am so sorry for my bad manners and ridiculous comment that I am going to say. but that is so unfair…Why are you hiding these things from us! Why!” Izuku honestly said in a funny way.
Inko couldn’t help but chuckle as well. When she saw the food that izuku that he showed on camera and ate it, it really looks ordinary, new, and appetizing. It made her inappropriately drool over the quantity of food that izuku has. She knew a Korean restaurant closed by to her work but never went in and tried. After seeing what izuku is eating, Inko promises to go there tomorrow after work.
Inko went paused the video and tapped on the speaker to talk to izuku. “Izuku, honey, I am going to continue watching your video later since I have to finish folding the clothes and head out for groceries,” she explained with a smile, seeing her son nod with a smile at her.
“That’s fine mom…the end part was just a few clips of a few places and cars driving. And me telling how the ambiance of the restaurant was, the streets of young adults hanging and my camera was almost dead at that time.” Izuku informed.
“But still I want to watch it until the end so I could see you smiling and having fun” Inko honestly said with proud smile as she could see her son blushed. "So where are you going after that cafe?"
“Well…”
Travel with me to…South Korea, Seoul!
