Nowadays we use mobile phones to do a lot of things. The most common thing that people do is to watch online videos. I also usually watch online videos on the mobile phone. There are many applications for people to watch online videos, like Youtube, Tik Tok, Facebook, and so on. Youtube is what I use the most to watch videos. The contents of videos vary. For example, there are videos about music, games, unboxing, teaching, etc. There are three types of content of videos I like: idols, foods, and interior designs.

The first type of videos is about idols. There are many idols’ videos on Youtube, including official videos and fan-made clips. For example, stage performances, music videos, and behind scenes are from TV stations or management companies. On the other hand, the clips of idols and videos with translated subtitles are often made by fans. Watching these idols’ videos is a fan’s routine. When idols release a new song, the music video will be released together for fans to understand the concept of the song. After the new song is released, there will be comeback stages for them to perform new songs. And the comeback stages are what the fans expect the most because it is a golden opportunity for them to see the idols in person and closely.

The second type is related to foods. I like to cook at home and try making various kinds of dishes, so I will watch some videos in which chefs or housewives share a lot of tips and simple ways to cook. “Kai Son” is one of my favorite youtubers and he is a Korean and has stayed in Taiwan for 7 years. He always introduces Korean foods and demonstrates how to cook them in an easy way, so I can make the dishes easily by following his demonstrations. Another food video is “Mukbang”. It is also very popular now. “Mukbang” is for viewers to watch a mukbanger eating the super-sized food. Watching mukbang is a way to relieve stress and also a good way for people who want to eat but have to control the weight satisfy their desires through watching the mukbanger eat.

The last type is the one I watch the most now, the interior designs videos. More and more people want to challenge to redecorate or remodel their own room or house, so the videos of interior designs are all the rage on Youtube. My favorite one is “Lofi House”. They show many cases that they take and recommend some tips or products for decoration. The style of a house is based on the owner’s preference, and different owners tend to display distinct ideas about their houses. Therefore, we can see a variety of concepts about painting, furniture, and decoration. The designers also introduce some useful accessories or share some simple painting ways for viewers’ reference.

There are many kinds of online videos on Youtube. Sometimes it is difficult for people to choose good ones to watch. The videos I often watch are of three content types: idols, foods, and interior designs. As a K-pop fan, watching idols’ video is a daily routine. Being a foodie, learning how to cook not only makes me get better at cooking but also lets me try different foods to satisfy my palate. Many people will choose to redecorate their house by themselves to save money but have no ideas what to do about it. At this moment, the interior designs’ videos are helpful for them. Watching these videos helps us not only relax after a busy day but also get some useful information.
