Joanna Gaines is having fun this spring break, and it’s all about family!
After a recent trip to Seoul, South Korea, the “Fixer Upper” star was able to check a box on something that’s been around for a while. The entrepreneur recently engaged her Instagram followers with a moving montage of her meaningful journey, years in the making, to where her mother, Nan Stevens, grew up. The mother-of-two elicited a satisfying response from them.
Joanna Gaines Feels ‘Thankful’ After Trip To Seoul, Korea
In a video shared Wednesday on Instagram, the 44-year-old revealed a glimpse of his nostalgic trip with his family in his mother’s homeland. The clip, set to the song “Dreams” by The Cranberries, includes footage of her father Jerry, walking the streets of Seoul with his children and husband, Chip Gaines.
There are clips of Joanna and her mother trying on traditional hanbok and footage of the family watching a baseball game together. The reality star’s little son, Crew Gaines, makes a cute cameo as well. He is seen wearing a traditional hanbok, showing the cultural head bow several times.

Their families experience jungle outings, restaurants and other tourist centers. At the end of the fun-filled event, Gaines’ parents gave fans a moment. The two posed together on the same street they had done before in a throwback photo.
The mother of five began her lengthy caption by telling viewers that she and her loved ones had finally fulfilled their long-held family dream. Some of them read:
“For years, my mother talked about taking her three daughters to Seoul, Korea, when the cherry blossoms were in bloom. And for years, it was just that — a dream we would talk about in that ‘maybe, someday’ way we all do when something feels a little out of reach.”
The decorator then noted that 24 members of his family finally crossed to Seoul from their bucket list in 2023. As the caption continued, Gaines happily talked about the fun travel experience. He wrote:
“We met a family we had only seen pictures of. We saw the cherry blossoms in full bloom. We walked the same path my mother did as a young girl, and again as a young woman with my father’s hand in hers.”
Many of her followers wrote their admiration for the Gaines family in the comments section. One said, “Wow! It was amazing.” Another user commented, “Wow – this is so cool, and I love how you all made your mom’s dreams come true ?.” Others revealed the post brought them to tears.
From this update, one can conclude that the cookbook author is proud of his heritage; however, The Blast previously shared details about his insecurities about his Asian background.
Last November, during an interview, the interior designer revealed that people bullied her for having Korean heritage growing up. The trauma caused him to hide parts of himself to fit in. “If this isn’t accepted, maybe I should hide it and play more about the other side of myself.”
The HGTV star recalled that she and her sisters Mary Kay and Teresa brought up the only Asians in their “whole school” in a small Kansas town called Rose Hill. He revealed how they called him names and bullied him every time he ate rice in the school cafeteria.
Decorator Had Surgery To Repair Back Injury
While 2023 will be all about culture and family for the “Stories We Tell” author, The Blast previously shared how he closed out 2022 with much-needed back surgery. The pain, caused by a high school cheerleading accident, has plagued the TV personality for a decade.
The Magnolia Network personality revealed that she went under the knife with a photo on Instagram. In the picture, she covers herself with a blanket as she lies in a hospital bed and makes a peace sign. Capturing it, she shared how the injury happened, writing:
“I hurt my back in high school because of cheerleading- basically throwing a basket caused a back injury and I’ve dealt with it ever since.”
The interior designer also revealed that she underwent a microdiscectomy in 2001 when she had to cancel her second appointment with her husband. Finally, he revealed that he had the same procedure again, amusing fans that his lower back likes to act at the most inconvenient times.
