In Song A's videos, she goes swimming and rock climbing, snacks on fruit-flavored shaved ice with her best friend, and receives dancing lessons from her aunt — all while providing commentary in English.
Song A has posted 12 videos over the last nine months, and attracted a following of 21,000 subscribers in the process.
