South-Korean fashion and lifestyle vlogger KAYA or better known as KINDACOOL never disappoints with her creativity and unique taste, from her refined fashion style to her video editing. Starting her journey as a vlogger in 2016, KINDACOOL has been documenting her life both on Youtube & Instagram by featuring mainly fashion, lifestyle, beauty & travel content. KAYA brands herself as “just trying to make every day kinda cool”, as her handle suggests.
If there’s one thing she does best, it’s definitely her styling content. Here we have her latest lookbook featuring fits for spring to summer. With such versatile fashion sense, she offers twenty-two different looks from street to modern chic styles.
Aside from these, KINDACOOL’s vlogs are also perfect for winding down. In her classic “un film de kinda cool” vlog episodes, she walks you through fun days in her life — behind-the-scenes work at her office and rented studios for shoots, events around Seoul, dates alone or with friends, and biking in the city with her husband.
Her recent IG reel, which is in partnership with VANS Korea, also gives us the most playful vibes and a glimpse of her effortlessly cool personality.

Haruday하루데이
Haruday is a channel by a married couple, “a girl from Korea & a boy from France”, living in New York. Compared to the usual vloggers we’re used to seeing chatting directly to the camera, the Haruday duo takes on a more calm and silent vlogging style. Cinematic filming & editing accompanied by subtitles are the trademarks of these creators. It’s perfect for those who want a good balance of cozy at-home and city-exploring content. Saturday features mainly lifestyle, food (and many cats) in their vlogs.
They recently returned from a two-month upload hiatus with a “French Countryside” vlogs from a family trip back to France, something we only get once in a while. See more of their trip back to Bretagne here.
A haruday recommendation is incomplete without their classic New York City vlogs. Watch their most recent video here featuring Central Park, Times Square, cooking homemade Mandu, and spending time at a cafe. This may also be one of their most special uploads to date as the couple shares some very special news with their subscribers.
