As a gay man living in Korea, coming out to some of my friends has resulted in blackmailing, rumors, and chronic anxiety. Coming out to my brothers led them to say "You better never come out to mom and dad they will be so devastated." Can't come out in society cuz in my field of work, ill be fired... Have a boyfriend of 10 years and I still cant hold his hand in public, introduce him to friends or family, or ever dream of getting married. I am 31years old and still unable to come out safely here in Korea yet their "experiment" makes it look so easy... I feel like there could've been a better way to shine a light on these issues without minimizing the struggle we have gone through our entire life.
This is what I was afraid of… that people who had to experience such a thing would watch this and see other people make light of it… that breaks my heart for you and I hope that we can all appreciate that your story is likely what most people are going through… your difficult time matters to me-I truly hope that you can surround yourself with people who only make you stronger… I’m 36 and it took me awhile to realize what healthy relationships were-you need to cut out the toxic people and focus on your mental health. You’re worth it💗
@@ONLYBRITTA thank you i had a bit of a rough week mentally and this really means alot!
I'm really sorry you're going through this. And I definitely agree with what you're saying.. they're using straight people to "come out" to their families so I mean in the end it doesn't really matter because they're still straight and don't have that burden on their shoulders as someone like yourself does.
I’m sorry you’ve had to go through all of that and still can’t live your truth. Just know there are people out here that understand, accept and champion you! I hope that one day you and your partner will be able to hold hands in public. 🖤
I'm so sorry sweetheart that you're going through that. I pray that you find the right people to be around with and love you for you. I do not agree with videos like this because I think of the struggles people like you face and I have friends in the LGBT community and alot have gone through tough times. I like seeing people for them. Please know you are worth it and valuable and worthy. You're not less of a person to anyone who also reads this. My heart goes out to you. I would have been happier with someone from the community to be in the cast but I think problems could also arise. For example , if they already came out and were accepted by their loved ones it would defeat the purpose of the video. Then there's the gray area where people have been unable to come out to their loved because the society around them aren't accepting or allowing others to love who they love. You will be harassed , even be killed 😢 So I am not comfortable with this idea. I am a straight woman please don't bash me I'm not trying to make this about me. I am a little glad they did this because it is nice to see people being open but I'm still not okay with it because it's not something we joke about. I get their point but still my heart goes out to you and everyone struggling. If I could advice you is it's ok to cut ties with toxic people and toxic environment. I hope one day the world is accepting and loving and do what they preach . You got this sweetheart if Corona wasn't happening I would have loved to meet you in person and listen and appreciate you as a friend for you not for your identity or sexual orientation nor circumstances . Fighting ❤️
Wow her mom’s reaction is really thoughtful and respectful🥺
My older sister came out as bi this summer🥰 She was so scared we wouldn't accept it..she was crying so so much before she said it. My mum and I are very accepting, like we don't care about someones sexuality and she knows this, but she was still so scared😔 I'm so proud of her💕 I didn't know I could love her even more than I already did😅

Her sexuality made you love her more? Genuine question not trying to be hostile
@@alexterieur8813 lol no, her bravery. 1. We do not live in a place that's very accepting. 2. The family we have left, aka our grandmother, is not very open with it either. So I find her brave.

*"I Don't Think you even like Guys"*

As someone who is LGBT, i didn't mind this experiment. I don't believe it was their intention to mock anyone. I actually think it was a good one because you could actually see Heejae and Hoseung thinking about how difficult this can be for LGBT people, which is something that cishet people just don't realize.
But I can understand how some LGBT people found this upsetting, I hope you can include actual LGBT people in your cast in the future so you won't ''easily get away'' with something like a fake coming out.
This is a good solution rather than passing it off as a joke in the end. It kind of hurts because in real life you can't take it back.
Agreed. I like seeing their expressed empathy but I also think it can be done better. It's a relatively touchy subject after all especially if not done by LGBT+ people themselves without being pressured to come out.
I agree totally
I actually didn’t really like this trend becoz as a closeted person, this kind of feels like joking about the community even though I know it was made with good intentions, seeing what you wrote made me rethink about it. I think your solution would definitely help more than using this kind of ‘prank’ like situations as it may resonate with others as well as show how hard it is truly to those who doesn’t have to go through the anxiety and concerns.
@A Sprocket I disagree. Everyone has different experiences and we should respect everyone, please don't put other people's feelings down because you don't agree.
Open minded individuals with great friends and family. If only this wasnt a rarity in korea. Small groups are a start and this really is hearwarming. More lgbt stuff please. Have them meet a lesbian/gay couple or even transgender i can guarantee that would be amazing
They already did that =)
Sorry this will never be a borm
@@tainanking it may become acceptable in years to come as the younger generation is really accepting. The whole world was homophobic at one point in time it takes the actions of those willing to speak up and fight that get things moving. They just need to speak and iradicate ignorance. Ive never ever had a homophobic comment made about me (i am lesbian in the UK) amd have walked hand in hand with my ex girlfriends everywhere. Its about educating people
@@before3372 do you know the link to that episode? I've tried to search for it but the only ones I find is meeting a cross-dresser and drag queens (I've seen both (Love Bambi)
@@3lineun hey, im sorry but I can't seem to find that video either
I could never be friend with someone who would think it wasn't okay to love someone regardless of gender. Love is love and everyone deserves to be loved.
Same
Some religions doesn’t accept that.
You cannot expect from someone who is religious to think like u
@@roses_are_rosee6676 then i won't accept the religion. it's simple, right?
@@srrhxyz no one said you should hun
but you cannot expect from everyone to accept lgbt
@@roses_are_rosee6676 I'm lesbian and my best friend is religious, she's super open about it and supports me in every way, she's an ally because she believes than everybody deserves the same rights, that her religion book didn't say "homosexuality is a sin" in any part of it
I could see Hoseung's face darkened a little bit when his friend said "It'll be f**cking weird". He really really hoped that wouldn't be the case, that his friend may be prejudiced. Although I see clearly what this video is - a social experiment, not to mock or downplay anything, and instead bringing to light a subject that is hard to approach, but I can't help but think that, some people may react nicely to your face, but later on would distance themselves from you. That is even more hurtful, but that's life.
yea!! in fact, korean men r distant people. they arent always warm and polite abt everything. this is sad bc i couldn't be friends with someone who is prejudiced and who thinks love is just straight. love is love, and everyone deserves to be loved. regardless of gender and sexuality. I wish that in Korea this is something that can be said openly and not seen as taboo. and also, sex education mainly
@@sullitmas I completely agree with you that it needs to be a more accepted topic in Korean culture however I disagree with the the stereotype (Koreans/Korean men are distant people) its like saying all Americans are fat, all brits love tea etc and while yes I bloody love tea not all brits do and not all Korean men are distant, iv got a few Korean mates and 2 of them are the funniest fuckers iv ever met 😁
I'm not attacking you luv x
But just be thoughtful when you paint everyone with the same brush 😘
The thing is... These people can take it back. People who are actually LGBT+ can't, and will face the consequences for the rest of their life. It's very insensitive to make something so serious as a social experiment instead of actually working to make real LGBT+ people more accepted.
I was thinking the same thing.. coming out was the hardest day of my life and it took TIME for people to accept it. Idk .I feel conflicted about this.
They need to find a different way to bring awareness to topics like this... not like this.
@@prosesareread they already did that
Ya I have to agree. I thought they were serious at first because I thought I remembered times in the past where Heejae had mentioned finding women attractive or something along those lines, so with context like "coming out to my friends" I went "oh I guess she didn't mean it platonically." Unfortunate, granted I wouldn't really expect them to have established cast come out.
@@before3372 Just because they already did that, it doesn't mean they should do something like having straight people come out as gay and then say it was a joke. It's disrespectful. If they have no more ideas they should just leave it alone.
The mom and friend’s reactions made me cry. My daughter came out years ago, and I can not imagine not being supportive. Love is love. Unconditionally.
What if your daughter was in love with you? Cause love is love unconditionally.
They have such a great family and friends, I'm sure it is not easy to come out like that , I support every love no matter which gender you are.
LOVE IS LOVE!
When I came out to my father he said that I wasn't his daughter anymore, when I came out to my mom she said: "Fine. So what?" lol Good thing my parents are divorced and I never talked to my dad again.
he doesn't deserve you one bit. you have a strong heart and great attitude. sending love.
Can’t be any easy thing to do especially in Korea. Hopefully one day it wouldn’t be such a thing and people can just be to love whoever they chose 🤨🧐
Trust me it's hard everywhere it's really easy to talk about but to actually come out is the hardest thing I've ever done I almost passed out
@@lydiajipripal9778 when i told my mom: why didnt you tell me sooner 😡 my dad: you cant be serious 😩 and i live in a really accepting country (Canada) so yeah its still hard
@@lydiajipripal9778 It’s hard everywhere but especially in Korea, LGBTQ+ isn’t very accepted there. Country isn’t the only thing that makes it harder, everyone’s experience is different and could be harder than usual even in an accepting country.
@@gardenfalls Asia in general tbh
My gay cousin has played around like this lol He would prank us coming out as straight, but nobody would believe him lmao he's a diva 🌈😂💗
Youust have a cool cousin!!!🏳️🌈😂
I dont think this is great to pretend to go through someone elses experience. Itd be better to bring some actual LGBTQIA + cast members
I agree… I felt really weird while watching this video…
@@ONLYBRITTA L
It’s not easy to be openly out in Korea and would probably be hard to find actual lgbt people. coming out in Korea can affect your job, family, life and more. Sorry for my bad english!
@@kovots totally agree with this, I keep seeing people say they should bring actual lgbtq and I totally understand why they think that way would be better but Korea isn’t like America yet and it might be more harmful for a person there to come out on camera or even talk about heir experiences. Videos like this if taken with that context in mind is very helpful and might encourage lgbtq community in Korea to then have the confidence.
@@felicechang280 there are other channels who have done exactly what people are suggesting. Despite the hardships some face there are many Korean people who want to come out and live openly, so putting a call out there for willing participants would have been an easy thing to do, if you don’t get any, you shelve the video until you do.
On a different Korean channel, they didn't have this social experiment but they invited real life LGBTQ+ members. That would have been a better alternative than this fake coming out. This channel could have interviewed and delved into their stories. And yes there are LGBTQ+ members who have youtube channels. They are starting to feel confident in telling their story, not totally out to their family and friends but it's a good start than using a fake coming out content.
Can you tell me which channel?
yes i would also like to know the channel :)
@@yoitsme5640 Simply search the title like 'coming out koreans..'
Awesome world, this video needs to be rephrased... or use real testimonials... please don't follow trending topics just because. You have a big platform, use it wisely. Love from Portugal.
For future videos, yes. Too late for this one.
@A Sprocket It is, for us.
Agreed, pd nim needs to see this
@A Sprocket yeah it wasn't offensive or a big deal for me but that's cause people around me are accepting so it might be sensitive to people who suffered from mistreatment 'cause they're lgbtq
@A Sprocket it is though cuz they make it seem as korea is a pro lgbt country when it’s been known that’s it’s not. Most asian countries ppl would not dare to come out cuz of the harmful it would do. People lose there jobs for being lgbt in Korea. It’s sad.
We literally need more people like them in this world.
@@baimken3001 why are you censoring this??? and why suddenly change his sexuality? ........ its was so weird
But this guy said „maybe if I think it’s unacceptable“
I know this wasn't meant to be mean, but in reality coming out in Korea is not that easy and influencing people to try and come out puts them in danger. We are not straight and cannot take it back.
I get that you're trying to be supportive but this is not how you do it. Get a cast member who is actually LGBT+ if you want to talk about the LGBT+ experience.
Im a long time subscriber & I'm not part of the LGBTQ+ community but I have bestfriends who are.. so idk if it's my place to really say anything but I think even though it was nice that they had people who would have accepted them even if they had been gay, they aren't at the end of the day. I know you were trying to shed light on this subject but I think it would have been better to have actual gay/bi/lesbian etc people doing this or speaking about their experience. No hate or anything. Just a suggestion
But for actual LGBTQ+ people coming out to family is really a personal and sensitive topic. I don't know if it's the best idea to do it on RUclips.
Here the video is lighthearted because even if their loved ones had been rude, it wouldn't impact their life as much. This type of pranks can also help know what people we love think about some things.
But I do understand your point though.
@@sarahelvetral3710 Yes. What I meant actually was for people to tell their stories. Not necessarily come out.. I should have been more clear on that. Because you're right, RUclips probably isn't the best place to do so. People should only share if they're comfortable doing so of course.
@@minimochi2206 that's a great idea.
you both are wonderful people :( 💕
you shoulda stopped at but. Don’t speak for groups your not even apart of bozo
it's such a touching and heartwarming thing to see how accepted they would be and loved by their family and friends if they were to come out as non-straight. it's genuinely wonderful to see that they're surrounded by such loving, sweet, compassionate people. :')
I recommend watching this real coming out video of korean teenagers 🤗 :

As someone in the LGBTQ+ community please don't do fake coming outs, it might not upset everyone in this community and it doesn't particularly upset me as it wasn't done in a disrespectful way but please include actual LGBTQ+ people next time cause I know some will look at this and find it insentive in particular because of how much our community suffers in countries like Korea just for coming out.
Maybe as a straight person I have no say in the matter but I don't really see an issue. It only helps to spread awareness and I think it is dangerous to include actual LGBTQ+ people because it could haunt them forever. 🤷
@@Lady-yg4sr Maybe because you're straight and can't see the issue?
Stop being offended on other people's behalf. People can think for themselves and they don't need you to defend them.
@@Lady-yg4sr you’re right you have no say in the matter
@@Lady-yg4sr ur straight stfu
Idk guys... I think this feels hurtful for people who are actually LGBT in Korea... The only reason they could do this is because it's not serious, and we all know that when a person actually is homossexual or trans, people might have these thoughts on the surface but be completely ddifferent when it comes to the real thing.
No...that ain’t it it literally feels like they’re making fun of *actual* gay people coming out
everyones talking abt how the mother and friend were supporting but no ones saying how his friend says “that’d be fucking weird” ..
Cause it is
I love Awesome World, and I love Heejae and Hoseung, but this isn't it. As someone who is actually part of the LGBTQ+ community, coming out is hard. I know you didn't have bad intentions with this video, and you touched upon this in the closing remarks, but please be more mindful of these kinds of "experiments." While the cast may have felt a bit of the nerves that are part of coming out, they don't know the full effect it has, not only on our relationships with family/friends, but also with ourselves. Also, they could easily backtrack and say "oh, surprise! I'm just joking around, I'm not actually gay!" We can't do that and it oftentimes breaks a lot of our relationships because we find out that some of the people we trust the most, don't actually support us fully. I know there are going to be people who say I'm taking this too seriously, but I've had bad experiences with coming out. My friends have had bad experiences with coming out. It's not something that should be joked about or made into an experiment.
Awesome World, I still love you and appreciate your videos, but please try to think these video ideas through a bit more before you film them.

You do have to realize that Korea is still a very closed off country when it comes to homosexuality and things like that so them doing this is actually really good and they tried their best to show people that being a homosexual isnt bad.
@@rawrrikii_8593 I agree with you on being a homosexual isn't bad, but the way they present, or let's just say experiment, it's not something that should be joked about. As someone who is actually part of the LGBTQ+ community, coming out is easy for me, but hard for some of my friends, even here in the Philippines where people are open-minded and affectionate.
@@TheSexGoddesz you can joke about everything because being gay is not being special.
It is normal I also did it like thzt, I was speaking with my mom about buying some stuff in huge quantities then told her I'm bisexual.
She said '' oh yeah, OK whatever ''
I'm sorry to tell you this but everyone doesn't suffer and it doesn't represent a challenge for everyone.
We need to show that in some families it is just natural.
@@afrenchkabyle2377 In some, lucky for you. It is really easy to say it because you haven't experience it first hand.
i think content like this does a huge disservice to the lgbtqia+ community and feels exploitative. i know getting views is important for a youtube channel but i feel like there's a better way than this.
I don't think they were trying exploit anything, but bring awareness to how hard it can be to come out to people you care about. It gives them an idea a of how difficult it can be. As a LGBTQ+ person, I like that they made this video.
I agree that this format is exploitative because they’re financially profiting off the views of this video. If they had said they’re donating all profits from this video to a Korean LGBTQIA+ organisation, it’d be better but the content is still disrespectful. They are cishet people taking/performing a unique LGBTQIA+ experience and profiting off of it
@@b0o0dlesn0o0dles yes, absolutely! thank you for elaborating and explaining it so well! @IceRabbit9 i appreciate and respect your opinion but i don't think that's what the video conveys. they were more concerned with not being believed than with coming out because they weren't really coming out. if you read yami simp's comment below he's actually a queer person living in korea and shares his perspective. there are real people that live these very real consequences and for them it's not a game just to see a reaction without consequences. don't get me wrong i think coming out videos are great because it can truly save lives but this video isn't that.
@@ah_okok I can see where you're coming from and reading all of the other comments did make me think more. Thank you for being respectful and not attacking me for my opinion.
@@IceRabbit9 omg of course! there's no need to attack. i do appreciate your opinion and experience and respect it, i was just talking about a larger conversation. i'm glad you didn't feel attacked because that was definitely not my intention. thanks for an open mutual discussion.
I know this was probably well intended, but it probably does more harm than good because as nice as it is to see them get good reactions, this isn’t the reality for most LGBTQIA+ people, especially in countries like Korea. To some coming out isn’t even an option. Idk I usually really like your guys’ content but this video just didn’t sit right with me. In the real world coming outs aren’t all happy family moments…it’s tears, fights, discouragement, hate, humiliation and danger. As someone with a bi sister who had a very hard time coming out, I’d appreciate it if you’d ask actual LGBTQIA+ people to be part of your content. Thank you.
it would’ve been nice to have included different lgbtq+ folk in the video to share their experience, or add in some way. at the same time i dont think this was necessarily a bad experiment. truly coming out is hard, and most people ive seen who come out on the internet do so way after coming out to friends and family. Probably wouldnt have been able to find someone to actually come out. I think if their reactions and responses were real, it was interesting to see what happened, i mean the guy’s friend literally told him “that would be fucking weird”. It wasnt the smoothest response lol
what was harmful about this video? im so confused
@@rateme6166 in my opinion it shows a wrong image of coming out, and instead of being encouraging like it was probably intended, it’s a misrepresentation of the struggles ACTUAL lgbtqa+ have to face
@@lillysthoughts4402 i see, so its not reflective of majority experience making it not relatable?
@@rateme6166 yes, I would say so
when you find out your mom is bi with the rest of the crew
If you can’t make a video like this with actual LGBT cast, then maybe don’t do it at all…?
Wow that was so touching. We need more open minded and accepting people like their parents in our world. So that no one even thinks about being ashamed or uncomfortable about it.
Im glad they're surrounded by loving people. My family didn't react well, I actually never wanted them to find out, but I slipped up and my mom found out. I was grounded for 4 months. Only one of my sisters and aunt are accepting. 6 years passed and my whole family (besides my sis) think that me being bi was a "phase". But now I have a one of a kind, wonderful and loving boyfriend that I love more than anyone else in the world so they accept that so I'm happy 🥰
Good to know that it's overall a happy outcome for you now.
I think some people may need a longer time to become more accepting, because they might need to challenge their own perspectives on the concept of sexuality and gender in regards to personal morality and faith against the importance of your well-being and existence in their life. I personally feel that if their reaction is not too negative it's okay to give each other some space and time, they might come around if they cherish you enough, and if not then you deserve better with people who actually want to have you in their lives instead of desperately clinging onto someone in a way that'd only be unhealthy/toxic and exhausting for both parties.
Anyway, if they really want these 2 hosts to touch on this topic from a straight person perspective, it's better to let them have a conversation with and reaction to actualy LGBT+ coming stories by LGBT+ cast/presenters.
Cheers and may you have more fateful encounters with loving supportive people in your life and continue to be a happy contented person with a fulfilled life! 💐
@@RaymondTywaif Thank you for the support, I appreciate it 🙏 And I agree that they could also have had an LGBTQ person on there or read people's stories, but I'm glad that they at least acknowledge that it must be very hard for an LGBTQ person to come out
I feel as though this video portrayed S. Korea as a progressive and lgbtq accepting country but it is very much so the opposite. The older generation spite the lgbtq community. There is a lot of outcasting and discrimination. For such homogeneous country this can be very debilitating for individuals. Maybe bring in an actual Korean lgbtq person to share their actual experience and struggles to raise awareness and help Koreans have a changed perspective!

It would have been been so awkward If Hoseungs' friend had taken the opportunity to come out. Or if Yeonjin had woken and done the same. Though the last one is intriguing to me.
I could be wrong but content like this makes me think you don't have any Lgbtqia+ people on staff. Straight people pretending to be gay - how original. You can do better than this.
Because there are very few lgbt+ people in Korea, and even if there are some in the staff it's unlikely they would come out because of fear considering Korea is highly homophobic.
i appreciate what they're trying to do but like.....lol
You have to consider that Korean society is very different from the West and you cannot apply the same standards because it simply makes no sense. The fact that they make videos about lgbt in the first place is a huge thing. If there’s no lgbt staff working - maybe there’s a reason, like social stigmatization of queer people.
@@raiahy other Korean channels have successfully managed to make a call out to the lgbt+ community and have them in their videos. If they couldn’t find people for this idea, then they could have shelved it or used the idea in a different way. It’s incredibly tone deaf and really crass seeing hets play at being gay for a reaction, however positive that reaction may be, as if it all went sideways then they have the luxury of back tracking, we don’t.
난 이상한 아니면 농담 영상인줄 생각했는데 다 보니까 너무 감동 받았어요. 한국에서 이런 리얼 대화를 필요한 것 같아요
no..I love you guys but you should have used actual lgbtqia+ community people to do this instead of cishets
i felt the same too ... this feels more like a prank and it kinda hurts
I think that would be dangerous for lgbt people in a conservative country like Korea. These people are straight and can take back what they said, but if actual gay people filmed their coming out they could be blackmailed by their "friends", colleagues, family etc
@@milky8002 I'm pretty sure they already did similiar to this with lgbtqia+ ones, so this video was unnecessary and insensitive.

We live in a strange world where everybody complain, always, it's boring.
@A Sprocket the point is that this video makes coming out seem like a joke when it's not. If they want to film a video about people coming out then it should be people who haven't come out yet...
Or maybe have people share their experiences with coming out to their parents.
@A Sprocket snowflakes? We getting political now? It’s actually disrespectful to pretend to go through something that has destroyed a lot of lives and families in order to give us the warm and fuzzies… in reality, historically, this situation would not have gone down this way-they should probably avoid this sort of topic in general unless they wish to have LGBTQ+ guests discuss their experiences coming out (which I think maybe they did on another episode)

It is so touching, in our country when people get to know that their child or someone they know is gay they instantly throw them out of the house , and some of them do suicide, they are so lucky to find such good friends and family 💜
I love your content usually but this is so incredibly tone deaf.
Having straight people play at coming out for a reaction is crass and doesn’t account for the thousands of people the world over that do it everyday and don’t have a good outcome, who’s life and relationships are changed beyond repair in some cases and who now aren’t safe.
These people make it look easy and that is bolstered by nice outcomes but it isn’t and if it went sideways they don’t actually have to live with the consequences of that.
The very least you could have done was cast actual lgbt+ people who did want to come out to others in their life, as other channels have done, It’s real, meaningful and encouraging that way.
Such a WONDERFUL Mom! Such a WONDERFUL friend! ❤️️❤️️❤️️
5:19 his reaction was soo real.
this guy is highly empathic, and seeing him really take the role of experiencing what many of us had gone through was really endearing to watch.
Why would they lie tho ....
Awesome world, I think this really disrespectful to people who are actually part of the LGBTQ + community because they have to go through difficult things like coming out to friends and family. Having straight people coming out as gay is kind of mocking this sensitive issue because they can easily play this off as a joke or prank, but this is not a joke. If you want to bring awareness to LGBTQ+ acceptance in Korea, please do this in another way. It's unacceptable.
as a lgbt this was a bad idea and makes coming out as a joke
I agree I enjoy the LGBT content. But the topic of coming out should not be taken so lightly. It's very serious and personal for someone.
facts
I can see where you come from, but at the same time I had a different experience, perhaps because I have not personally been in the position in question. But this video showed me that, even though they didn't really come out, they felt vulnerable. I could see they were not fully confident or comfortable, and they were touched by the responses that they got, perhaps even relieved? Of course this might not be true, it is just my personal observation about people I don't know after all. But what it did for me is the part that matters most. When I saw this I thought that when these people feel vulnerable and perhaps even a bit emotional, it must be 10x or a 100x times worse for people who actually have to deal with this for real. And since in my eyes they didn't joke, or aggressively(?) take it all back, it seems respectful. But of course I am not as emotionally involved as people who might be dealing with this situation in their lives. All I can say is that my respect for the people who can muster up that amount of courage in their real life scenario, and put themselves in such vulnerable positions, has grown after watching this video. It is always amazing how a different angle can make such a big difference on what we take away. I hope to learn and grow more like today, but always in a way that feels respectful for the people who are closest to it emotionally. Let's hope one day we can find the perfect way in the middle :)
@@rikcruts5020 If people received this message from this video the way you did , it is very heartwarming. In many ways I just felt hurt because this experience is not some thing that they HAVE to go through. That's all I'm saying. Thank you for sharing your thoughts though.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s the middle of the night, or because of the solemn music, or because i haven’t actually liked someone yet and it makes me question myself.. But this honestly made me cry a lot. I hope everyone has atleast one person who can support and accept us like that.
Its really weird to come out to your friend thats same sex as you cause like after you come out to them they automatically says “ dont tell me you like me?” Or they ignore cause they may thing you like them and youre gay because of them like…..
If anyone of your friends comes out to you, DONT ASSUME THEY LIKE YOU?! OKAY?! not just because we gays came out on you means we like you, damn even if were gay we have standards goshh
This was so touching!! I really love this channel
The content is likely produced with good intention but the execution is kinda controversial and can be uncomfortable especially for those who have gone through bad coming out experiences as LGBT+ people. I think it's overall still a positive video with positive message and I still like it as a topic brought up with Korean perspectives, even though I had a few bad experiences, rough initial reactions and cold unconcerned reactions too (not that I've come out personally to everyone I know, and while I lost some friends, coming out really helps better my mental health in the long run as the overall experiences and the people who stayed worth it more).
I'd suggest to try doing a similar idea but with actual LGBT+ people, perhaps sharing their stories, or to come out to someone they choose on screen fully understood what they signed up for and wanted to do it recorded.
Both hosts are adorable and wholesome as usual though, their cheerful but sincere demeanor gives me fuzzy warm feelings.
👏👏👏

AW, I'm this close to canceling my subscription. This is NOT OKAY to do. EVER. Straight people pretending to come out is offensive. Stop setting up the cast like this to be hated if this goes viral. They're good people. Ever since Yeseul left you guys started doing weird af stuff around race and sexuality. It seems less like you want to educate and more like you treat everything different as some experiment or something exotic. We're not your zoo people. Actually you know what. I am canceling my subscription.
@Lady Suisho and Felidae I believe I did just that. Are you unable to read?
I’m hoping that they actually read the comments this time and take these thoughts from their audience seriously… they have a lot of potential, but they need to be creative in a way that doesn’t feel so showy and forced (which leads to this kind of unintentional f*ckup)… like, maybe they underestimate the audience and think that we prefer forced situations over real conversations. They would be wrong🌸
As a member of the lgbtqia+ community, these videos actually make me happy because it's nice to see people being accepting of their friends/family coming out. Would it be different if it had a gay person instead? Absolutely, however I also take into account that there are many closeted people out there that aren't ready to come out so videos like these you can live vicariously through. Just another perspective.
@@rebma234 I think it would have gone over better if they had at least incorporated more of what a realistic experience would have been like or discussed how different their experience was from what a lot of people go through… there wasn’t much acknowledgment of that even if they mentioned that this would be hard to do in reality…
I actually stopped watching months ago because the channel is now all about sex, baiting, and gender (guys vs girls) and it’s just the same stuff repeated over and over. But this just really puts the lid on the coffin. They need a new PD or just to cancel this channel completely. The cast members already appear on other channels so they’re not losing a job or fame.
I came out when I was 15 to my mom and siblings and then I came out to my grandma 5 years later. Especially in a Christian family it made my cry happy tears knowing I was accepted for who I am.

@@januaryhymn Thanks alot🥺💕
Tbh when willl cishet pple stop making these types of videos like this isn’t something people that are lgbtq+ can ever take back. I came out to my parent and i regret it bc now she thinks differently of me when it just comes to having friends when being queer to me is totally different and im aromantic as well and have no desire towards romance. Either you guys bring actual people that are lgbtq+ for next content or dont make vids like this anymore ✋🏾😭
I was writing a whole *1000* words paragraph here to “confess” my frustration today...
But my Phone has *died* on me so ... here it go...
Long story short, i visited my mom’s house this very morning
We ate breakfast, i told her i wanna be more *taller* ( im 5’5 twink btw)
She told me not to be *childlish and silly* because im the *Oldest* (im 20 btw)
Also she said she *knew* and not to hide from her, its *OK* ....
(My heart pumping happiness , is it the *Time*...?)
And then here it is, she said “not to” watch any *Gay* related staffs (Stay away from Them ... she didnt know that im now watching at least 120+ BoyLove content of movies/ series hahahaha,, Hail to BL )
She told me to *revise* my behavior (like always) *Typical ASIAN MOMMA MODE again*
She said (in a way that Gay is a choice) that *me* choose that way i cannot *have offspring*
...blabla That The *Reason* why i kept my mouth *Shut* (like always) and eat and *tried* to divert her attention by talking random things... blablabla *Typical Serious Politician mode Kinda Som 🤓 *
*pheww* Being *Gay* is challenged indeed ( to Love ones, Others, and Especially *My own self*
I just wanna said im birth to be *Gay*, u knew all along right?!
So why, and how to change my Nature mom?
I don’t need anyone’s approval to be *gay*
I just need only *youuuu* ( not even ur ex husband, my dad)
Because i need *your* future permission to meet and me to marry my Future Belove Husband naaa , mom
( subconsciously transmit this *message* to own very *Mom* by this Anonymous Account’s comment on this very *Video* , I hope She gets it! )
sending you love!!!!!! "pheww Being Gay is challenged indeed ( to Love ones, Others, and Especially My own self" -- you are so right. this is everything that is important in life. i kinda think the act of loving (one, all people, yourself) is a gay superpower
🤨 not yall making straight ppl come out as a joke, I know y’all r trying to shed light in these issues but this is not the way
@Yeolvrr bae there is everything wrong with it shut up
Very touching and genuine reaction video!!! You could see and feel the emotionnal impact on both presenter's faces and their voices. Heejae is very beautiful!!
this is insensitive. some people get beat up and even die when they come out to the world. like c’mon
Yeah I unsubbed. Fuck this coming out prank culture in SK, I'm over it.
The thing with the video is not that they decided to talk and show people's reactions to someone close coming out. The problem is that they can take it back, say that is a joke and keep living their lives. Of course, they were nervous and everything trying to find the words and the correct person to do it, but they will never experience the fear of really coming out, the fear of being rejected by your own family and friends. Your whole life is in danger and you can't take it back, never.
I recommend watching this real coming out video of korean teenagers 🤗 :

For all those on here suffering... You are wanted, loved, and appreciated!!! Keep fighting, because you aren’t alone!!!! ✌🏽🤟🏽🤗
I understand that these conversations are important and that the people who made this video probably had good intentions, but this “experiment” feels a bit insensitive to me. It’s not really “coming out” if it’s not your truth, and it’s a lot easier to laugh about loved one’s various reactions to such news when you know their opinions on the matter don’t really apply to you. It’s just that there are people that have gone through this kind of thing and it’s often really scary and there are no take-backs or saying it was all a joke at the end. I just think those people and their feelings should be considered when making this kind of content in the future.
i dont know if this is just my opinion but as an lgbtq person myself, i was actually quite entertained by this video.. i had a good laugh on a topic even im too scared to discuss with my friends and family. i definitely wish i had supportive friends and family who i can comfortably come out to but sadly reality is that we can only imagine how the people around us will react and hope the best..
I love how you are not offended by this, you even had a good laugh. I hope the very best comes your way!
I wish you the best. As an LGBA person myself, this video was light-hearted and a good way to show support. Shame many in our community iin this comment section continue to make us all seem like children unable to handle anything
@@RaizanMedia transphobe
@@JinsolLee Reality denier extremist
My best friends would support me with zero judgement😌 my conversation would go like:
Me: I think I like girls!!
My friends: uh..Huhh( taking causually)
Me: so what do u think about it??
My friends: who need a thought on this anyway...live your life girl ..who gives a fuck about what other think...btw find someone as pretty as me okay 😁(jokingly)
That's how my conversation would go with my friends..like seriously the amount of support I get from them especially my best friend on each and every matter..it's like I can trust my life on her❤️ and yeahh I don't know how would my other family members and parents react but I have a this strong feeling that my siblings would definitely support me ❤️😌
At first I was really annoyed by this video, lying about something that is so serious and hard for so many people like me. But I think your intentions were good, and your message was too. The suicide rate for LGBTI is way higher than for others, for many coming out to those that are important is one of the hardest things about living. And it never ends, you end up coming out for your whole life. I appreciate the message you are trying to impart, and respect you for your support. And I subbed.. :)
You forgot the QA+ fam... Don't leave people out.
@@JinsolLee yes, i did...:) well done for this.
@@JinsolLee Leaving who out? LGBA all refer to sexualities. T is for the belief in belonging to the opposite sex, I is for intersex and Q is used as an umbrella term for the sexualities. Only LGBA, and Q at most, are actually about something you can't choose and are born that way
@@RaizanMedia A refers to Aro Ace and Agender. Not just sexualities. Queer is an umbrella term that is still valid and refers to both sexuality and also the gender queer identity. As a transgender gay man, I'm gonna be very calm and polite. I'm going to ask you to respect the entire LGBTQIA2S+ community. You can't control being gay, just like you can't control being trans. If you think I'm wrong then you are no better than the monsters throwing gay folks off buildings in Iran. A counter argument I like to use, is that if you believe that being gay is a choice (or something you can control) then you should prove it by becoming a different sexuality right now.
Edit: I see now that you are transphobic and I can't believe I wasted time trying to be nice to you. Being trans isn't a belief, it is a very real mind body disconnect that has tonnes of science to prove your idiocy. Gender identities are valid. Grow up cuck.
Now, I hope my comment has educated you a little. No one in the LGBTQIA2S+ community should be left out. Period. Don't have a nice day, don't stay safe and don't stay hydrated.
@@karlmnz so you intentionally left out the QA part because you are prejudiced against the LGBTQIA2S+ community? Why not just be inclusive?
💖💖💖💖💖These are for Heejae's mom

Uh... this isn't a "trend" or "challenge". This is downright traumatizing for some. Please be more mindful of "fake" coming out. This is not ok.
I always accept and support my children , I loved them before, how can I stop loving them because they LGBT .So long they Happy -I’m Happy ❤️
true parental unconditional love right there
My Asian son (Yes I am American and my ex husband was Asian Chinese and Korean) so my son is mixed made me watch this and say Hey mom you sound like that girls mom watch the video when she says "I had that experience and feelings too about girls!" lol .... I had to check it out. I am always honest and upfront with my child yup that sounds like me....
As someone who is part of the LGBT community, I could understand how this video could be controversial, but I also understand that it wasn’t coming from a bad place. I think it can be difficult sometimes for cishet people to understand what someone feels or has to go through when coming out, as you can see when people like celebrities come out and some are like “So what?”. But if having someone experience even just a fraction of the emotions I felt meant they would have more compassion for the next person that came out to them or even just the LGBT community in general like it did for Them, then I think a video like this can serve a purpose, especially for a country like Korea where things can still be difficult for LGBT people. Thanks Awesomeworld, as others have said it would be cool to see more LGBT perspectives from Korea!
No. Just no.
So glad there are young people like this. It means that there is hope for humanity.
Heejae is so pretty❤️
So reading the comments I realized that I was the only LGBT guy who didn't feel mocked, but whatever
i actually had a good laugh too.. i thought it was nice they are trying to show genuine reactions of their friends and family. i didnt particularly feel like they insulted the lgbtq community at all but rather pointing light on one of the issues we face in a less serious and more fun manner
I didn't feel insulted either
Please consider casting people in the lgbtq+ community next time. This comes of as people pretending to not be straight for views. Not a good look
You should come down off your high horse. What next, are you going to try to cancel this channel.
@@bolo5584 they are being respectful, tone your ass down
@@bolo5584 relax lol. I love the channel that's why I want them to be improve
@@pr7903 like omw?😹😹 and thank you
I just loved Heejae's mom answer 'I had that experience too' 😂 cuz, honestly, it's more common than you think but doesn't always have to mean anything. No but seriously she gave such a thoughtful answer, I loved that. I wish people in SK were more open.
I think this video is in really poor taste. Our sexuality is not some kinda social experiment you get to use just like that. You people get to "jk haha" laugh it off later and explain to your loved ones it was "just a joke". Us actual lgbtq people face severe consequences for coming out. We are disowned, harmed, ostracized, fired and even killed. I am so disappointed in you for taking something this serious and using it for an experiment when you have absolutely no idea how hard it is for all of us lgbtq people to live in this society. Stop using us for clout.
Is it only me, or did she really sound like jisoo😍
Heejae's Mom is the best, "not even boys",lol.
Heejae’s Mom was all “Welp, let me ponder this for a little while, but it’s fine” and Hoseung’s buddy was all “Really? Welp, it’s cool” ❤️❤️❤️
You just knew the Hee Jae's mum was going to be open and accepting 😂❤️
The way Heejae has looked at a few ladies it does make you think. She is so cool no one would care either way she went.
Everyone always agrees about Heejae being the own love of her life lmaooo
hoseung is so cute im gonna cry
Althought I am understanding of the fact that you made this with no bad intentions, this situation is a lot harder for people who are actually part of the LGBT+ community (like myself), so it kind of comes of as insensitive by the end when it's revealed as a joke or social experiment.
We (lgbt+) have the actual risk of loosing people from our lives and rejection. From family members, friends and strangers who might hate on us and harm us without even knowing us. It's hard and hurtful because we might not even get accepted by some of the people we care the most.
I just wish instead of doing this kind of videos with straight people, this chanel could be a platform that let's actual lgbt+ members speak about their experiences
I recommend watching this real coming out video of korean teenagers 🤗 :
Koreans Tell Their Parents They Are Gay | 𝙊𝙎𝙎𝘾
ruclips.net/video/G4lw-zjHmlU/видео.html
A lot of people are saying that not all coming out moments are like this, which is obvious. Even at the end they acknowledged it wouldn't be the same as how they did it in this experiment if the circumstances were true. They said themselves that if they actually did like the same gender they would be way more terrified, and acknowledged that if someone came out to them they would take into consideration how much anxiety and pressure that took for them. Even said the older generation isn't as open to it. I don't think the video is belittling what its like or minimizing lgbt problems it's just taking two main casts and using them to experiment how people close to them would react. The two people who were chosen just happened to have supportive people which, I think, is a good thing.
Tbh as an omnisexual , genderfluid afab , I really feel these koreans , and while I'm greatful for the friends and family I do have who are accepting , I've honestly had mixed reactions some people were kinda disgusted , some were conflicted and argued back and forth with me , one told another friend of hers who wasn't accepting of it and with some it was great , most of them were begrudgingly accepting like saying "it's ok if you don't act on it" , which is honestly better than death so I'll take it , but in cases that put my safety at risk , I can lie that I'm streight .
my mom knows that i am bi but im so afraid to tell my dad about it, because hes kind of conservative sometimes.. but im fine with him not knowing honestly because all my friends and siblings support me
i'm so glad you have a support system who loves and cherishes you!! family can be chosen. sending you lots of love
ah yes, making a joke out of coming out.. this isn’t problematic at all 😐
Also if you are part of the lgbtq community in Korea I salute to you. I hope that one day there will be equality. If your coming out experience was not as easy as the people in the video, it’s okay and I applaud your confidence to be who you really are.
This is called queer baiting
This video isnt to mock but to create empathy.
Like korea is already straight up legit about being not accepting of homosexuality
So to see that these people have thought about how they could respect their friend or family member if they ever came out as gay was refreshing and nice.
The intent wasn't to upset but to show light that this could be a reality for those still in the closet if they have these thoughts or are discovering themselves.
Yes many people have the right to feel upset but instead of channelling negative feelings see this in a positive light.
See that there are accepting people in korea and maybe stop hanging out with people who clearly wont support that.
I get your point but this experiment was very tone deaf... Accepting people exists but it's not the norm and playing it as a prank just to see what happens it's not a great idea. Most of us are closeted even in other countries more accepting, I don't want to imagine how's being part of the community in Korea, notoriously know for being queerfobic.
This was not okay for them to do though, there are better way to do this without invalidating the LGBTQIA+ community.
why would you do that
They’re surrounded by such good people. I know for sure if I did this a lot of my closest family and friends would probably distance themselves/ cuss me out lmao. It’s not like I’m gay but it’s always nice to hear that the people you care about would love you no matter what.
