Kim Younglong

Kim Yeongrong runs the Youtube channel ‘RongRongTV’ where she captures the daily life of her 94-year-old grandmother living with dementia. Following her grandmother’s mid-stage dementia diagnosis, Yeongrong launched her channel to bring levity to their emotionally charged household, and record her grandmother in a spirit of playful remembrance rather than fearful doom. She wrote her memoir, WHEN WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER, in the hope readers will learn to see their precious loved ones with fresh eyes of curiosity, no matter how familiar their faces may seem.
