“Professor” Mina Oh is the cutesy face in front of the camera for a variety of locations online and on TV, including SweetandtastyTV.com, the facebook presence Professor Oh and Friends, and the YouTube channel itself. Established in 2005 and now nearing 500,000 subscribers, the unremittingly cheerful, colourful clips do present a somewhat artful combination of useful information amid culturally appropriate OTT doses of aegyo.

Among the more purely useful efforts are the fantastic set of clips introducing Korean language along topics of interest, including a series on vegetarian and vegan ordering and eating in Seoul and beyond.
