After Relationship Ends, TikToker Travels 6,000 Miles For Closure

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Breakups are never easy. Some people burn pictures, others chuck their exes stuff out the window. TikToker Kassie Yeung went a few thousand miles farther. She traveled from LA to Seoul to remove a lock from the N Seoul Tower. This is a popular tourist attraction where lovers leave padlocks. Kassie went with a pair of wire cutters and removed the lock she and her ex had placed there. That's a 6,000-mile trip for closure. Here's hoping she met someone interesting on the plane back.
