'Petty' U.S. Woman Travels To South Korea To Cut 'Love Lock' Off Tourist Tower After Breakup

TikToker Kassie Yeung received 1.8 million likes for her video, documenting the journey from Los Angeles, California to Seoul, South Korea where her and her now ex placed a "love lock" on Seoul Tower.

Since they broke up, she decided to travel nearly 6,000 miles to cut the padlock.


The love padlocks on Seoul Tower are characterized by the South Korean government website as iconic symbols of the power of love:

"Like the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris, couples head to the tower to lock their 'padlock of love' onto the railing and to dream that their love will last forever."
"When arriving at the base of tower, its railings and fences covered with "padlocks of love," visitors will feel the weight and importance of love."

Yueng's video shows from her point of view, her trip and the stops along the way to find the lock.

The video starts with her on the over 6 hour flight with the caption:

"I am one petty MF [I don't care] what anyone says."

Then we see her buying wire cutters, walking through the streets of Seoul and making her way up to the top of the tower.

Finally, we see Yeung searching for her and her ex's lock through the thousands of locks.

Eventually, she stands proudly shaking the lock and the cutters in her hand.

The "petty" move garnered her support.

In an interview with Insider, Yeung shared why she made the video:

"It is relevant in the sense that everyone goes through relationships, breakups, and possibly having love locks with ex-lovers."

Yeung didn't just travel all that way to cut the lock.

She's actually there to pursue her career as a backup dancer and decided it was the perfect opportunity to finally cut ties with her ex completely.

When people start to think about having children, they need a crash course in how many big-ticket items they will need for their child in their home, and just how much stuff they'll have to carry around for that child until they are older.

As small as babies are, they need a lot of stuff and take up a lot of room. The more kids who are present, the more stuff there will need to be.

GOP Account Slammed For Racist Attack On Dem Rep's Spanish Response To Trump Speech

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) was called out for blatant racism after referring Democratic Representative Adriano Espaillat of New York as an "illegal immigrant" shortly after he delivered a Spanish-language response to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address to Congress.

Espaillat, a Dominican-American, has been transparent about his family’s experience overstaying their visas when he was a child, before eventually obtaining green cards and his own path to citizenship. Now a U.S. citizen for decades and chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Espaillat has proudly described himself as a “former undocumented immigrant turned progressive Congressman.”
