This is one of the realest JKN videos I've ever watched, I genuinely want to thank Ed for opening up so much and sharing his thoughts and experiences 🙇♀️🙏
steve asking “do you feel like anyone really knows you?” was one of the best questions to ask a person who goes thru something similar as ed. much love to y’all!
Ed is such a cool person. It takes a lot of strength to just put your feelings out there, especially as a man. I respect anyone that is able to do that. And Steve is honestly the best. He is so emotionally intelligent. He is really able to empathize with people and give them the support they need. That's really nice to see 🤍🦋
Ever since Ed started appearing on GeniusBrain I’ve been so intrigued with his story. Hearing him talk more about his story makes me cry. I hope they have him again.
That was some of the realest shit I’ve heard in a while. Everyone has a story, wish more were this raw and honest with themselves. Much respect to this man.🙌
Imagine going to someone for help cause they said if ever needed, they’ll have your back. And when you finally go to them, the turn their back on you. Ed almost teared up & I felt that through the screen. But glad to see him doing better.
Hearing his story was definitely saddening. I don't know if I would ever get into a fight for someone but with everything else I'd lend a hand. I don't understand just leaving someone I call a friend, who I specifically said I'd have their back for, only to turn on them. He goes more indepth in David So's podcast if you're curious about learning more about him. He's an interesting guy. And it's really inspiring the way he goes about his life. He took a lot of negatives and turned it into a positive. And he genuinely does seem at peace whenever he's just chilling.
Damn this hit me. Ed is such a strong person to have gone and go through all the Bs. Glad he was able to open up and probably help someone who might be going through a similar situation. Much love. ❤️
@@dennisxiong7373 very true. It will definitely crush that organization. A self help member committed suicide in their resume wouldn't look good to anyone. But they did refund his money.
Ed...alot of people will reject you because they don't understand..you know who won't...keep growing,your time to do what you were meant to do is coming close...and this journey is the beginning 🙏
25:00 thank you Ed for sharing your story and experiences, truly understand you are helping so many people and making others feel like they're not alone...you are not alone either. Every day you are stronger, smarter, and more blessed than the day before. It's okay to feel sadness but it's just as important to feel love and happiness! If you can (if you haven't already) is to get a dog or cat, they are our best friends who are there for us no matter what...they have unconditional love...a place to allow your heart and spirit to heal. I wish you luck in all your endeavors. 🙏🏽
Steve is incredible in these types of situations. He's a very funny guy and knows when to crack jokes and lighten the mood. But he does so well with serious topics. Great listener and asks perfect follow up questions. Loved this ❤
this was easily the bestttt OTR that you guys have done thus far!! Ed you’re amazing it’s unreal! Also forever appreciating how warm and welcoming steve always is, he always puts every new guest at ease 💖
Ed Park's thoughts are actually relieving, even if our experiences are different they still seem to be relavent. It's just nice to hear someone speak about their thoughts. Sometimes you can have the same thoughts circulating in your head over and over, and you don't feel like sharing them anymore because you thought about it some much it's like you already have shared it with someone. Anyways I'm thankful that he shared his inner thoughts and world with us.
Ed you’re winning at life!!! It takes so much courage for someone to completely switch their life around and I have so much respect for you. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us with your stories in JKN and Genius Brain.
By far my favourite episode from JKnews ever. Everyone was mature and gave value to the conversation. Ed’s honest and vulnerable. Wow, massive respect.
Ed I’ve been isolated my whole life. I wanted you to know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE FEELING ALONE. My life is shitty even before I can be able to walk, all the shitty things just stops 6years ago. What joe said was def right, YOU CAN NEVER THRIVE ON A SHITTY ENVIRONMENT. what helps me move on with my traumas is being with ALOT OF PEOPLE and start talking to them. Make friends anywhere, I don’t talk to people too.. but once I talk to them it helps my mood change, I feel not alone anymore.. talk to strangers.. Pray, whatever god u believe in just pray. I hope u read this ed. It made me realized I’m not the only one being alone in life. Virtual hug 🤗💕
Thank you Ed. This was refreshing and honest and I appreciate seeing Steve expose some depth I. His character as well. Steve is the troll to so many guests I enjoy seeing him play more a big brother dynamic. Thank you jk
Thanks JK crew for bringing Ed on. Ed also thank you so much for sharing your experiences and opening up to people you know nothing about or know. It's already hard enough opening up to people you know, so I appreciate your talk and thoughts.
I really like Ed. I feel like I relate to him so much. The strive for self improvement wanting to find myself through travel. The feelings of loneliness and not being understood. It really resonates
This was some real stuff, thank you so much to Ed for opening up like this and I hope you are able to surround yourself with much better downass people from now on
What a roller coaster ride of an episode! At the height of feeling touched by Ed’s struggle and sentiments, which in turn made me reflect on my personal journey toward self improvement, Steve set me up with a jab with “Perks of Being a Wallflower” then a devastating right hook that sent me to the canvas with “Laguna Niguel”. @20:49 Blinded by that random brilliance. Must wear shades.
I’m in the middle of my gap year. Hindsight I probably took it cause I didn’t know what I wanted even though everyone else decided it for me. I knew I wasn’t happy. I didn’t even feel like a person. I had so much residual trauma and things I didn’t even understand. I didn’t know what it was like to be a person, how to talk to people, how to talk to myself, or anything else. But my life was sorted out. I paused and everything fell in place. Covid, quarantine, gap year, personal things. It was like cleaning dry soap. I am so grateful for this year, therapy videos people put out, and people who are able to open up like Ed
Damn Ed story was one I could really relate to. Always being alone and confided in isolation and seeing the world around you go crazy from a life you have been living in for years. Thanks Steve for the awesome question. I feel like a lot of people who feel alone don’t ever feel understood; they only get to know the surface of who you truly are. Being the one person that feels always alone and surrounded by rejection. Instead of making himself the victim he chooses to bring light into his life. He changed his life around and tries to treats others good because he is so used to rejection. He is truly wise beyond his years.
Awwww❤ I wish I was there to hug you Ed 🙏 keep going strong 👍 please know that you are not alone, we all have been through our shit, and you talking about it openly helps us too❤ Love from Toronto 👍
Omg Ed, I felt every word you said. It was like you were telling my story. When my father passed, things just kept declining. Thank you for sharing your story! Are you on social media or somewhere I can follow you?
this is the deepest OTR I can think of! what a great convo and shoutout to Ed for opening up. You're helping a lot of people who are going through their struggles by doing this
I don’t even know who Ed Park is but listening to this story genuinely made me cry. I’m motivated to one day do the turn around when I’m brave even to call everyone I’ve wronged and apologize. I don’t need forgiveness I just want them to know that I don’t want them be hurt if it’s especially by me anymore.
Ed, you went through some really hard times and I hope you find people who try to understand you, love you, who correct you when you're wrong and stand by you. Don't give up. We are with you.
Ed fought through it all to tell his story today to hopefully, just hopefully. 1 PERSON, could be inspired by him to get out of their rump and be his bart to someone else! thanks Ed!
glad he shared his story i’m sure so many can relate. i feel like i’m the only person thriving with this pandemic. i love being alone and not socializing and going anywhere lol 🤷🏻♀️
I have no idea who Ed Park is but this man is inspirational. Glad to hear you're in a better place, Ed. And shout out to Steve, his emotional intelligence is amazing.
beautiful episode and beautiful opportunity and environment for this kind of conversation. incredible story about real versatility and personal strength. I think many of us can relate to his experiences, some to a deeper extent than others including myself. His words were loud enough to me that I want to self reflect on how i present myself to others. not only to be more easily welcomed, but more to be less abrasive and judge mental. There's no good passing ill feelings i've received onto another person. The idea of not making things shitty for people is not an easy idea to discover by yourself. Thank you guys for touching an amazing subject and thank you Ed for opening up.
Steve: Gives a good speech about how you should always look at things from both ends the funny and the reality. Joe: Its fucking funny. This is why this channel is never allowed to die.
i rarely comment on videos but i had to this time. thank you ed! i personally really appreciate that you shared part or your story. thank you for letting us get to know you a bit better. thank you for showing a side of life most people dont share. this may be one of many comments like this but from me personally i want to say i appreciate you as a person. wishing life long happiness for you!
They really know how to time the humor when a serious moment is happening. I say it as a compliment and not like a bad thing. We always need laughter when shit in life brings us down
We're here for you Ed. I know it's hard to believe that faceless strangers on the internet understand what you're going through or care about you, but I hope you know that we all want you to have peace in your heart and mind. Please know that we don't want you to feel suffocated by your pain anymore and we hope you heal. Hugs.
when the camera turned off we all got together and did a hug line for this bad boy
I was about to say, this OTR definitely needed a group hug afterwards, glad that it happened
Joe please talks about the anti-asian and the shooting at atlanta.
Huge line of what?
as yall should!
good to hear 🤍🤍
I’m so glad Steve was there, for some reason he always knows how to make the guest feel at ease 🥺
Steve is one of the best people to have on for these type of topics 💯
High EQ
That’s one asset of a comedian. They got emotional intelligence.
Steve has a level of perception unlike the rest
Yeah because as soon Joe bursted out loud with his laugh I was just like 😩 like bro, what are you doing, read the room.
This is one of the realest JKN videos I've ever watched, I genuinely want to thank Ed for opening up so much and sharing his thoughts and experiences 🙇♀️🙏
You should listen what him and David's conversation during the GeniusBrain podcast, his story is craaazy
steve asking “do you feel like anyone really knows you?” was one of the best questions to ask a person who goes thru something similar as ed. much love to y’all!
I stopped what I was doing and was genuinely surprised.
Ed is such a cool person. It takes a lot of strength to just put your feelings out there, especially as a man. I respect anyone that is able to do that.
And Steve is honestly the best. He is so emotionally intelligent. He is really able to empathize with people and give them the support they need. That's really nice to see 🤍🦋
Steve is dope. He clowns a lot but when he sees that a situation is a bit more serious he tones it down.
@@CamberRockerCamber yea definitely, i think that's a very good trait to have.
Ever since Ed started appearing on GeniusBrain I’ve been so intrigued with his story. Hearing him talk more about his story makes me cry. I hope they have him again.
He’s on David So’s podcast a lot it’s called genius brain it’s really good
This nigga Ed just took me on a trip that I wasn't prepared for at all. He got me rethinking my whole existence. Thanks for sharing Ed🙏🏾❤
“This nigga ed” got me crying til this day 😂
Damn, more Ed please! My heart broke for him when his voice cracked. Sending you love and positive vibes, Ed!
Love Ed Park. And love when Steve Greene is sincere as fuck like this.
I am LOVING all these off the record guests, this was such a powerful and gut wrenching story. We need more Ed!!!!!!
That was some of the realest shit I’ve heard in a while. Everyone has a story, wish more were this raw and honest with themselves. Much respect to this man.🙌

He goes more indepth in David So's podcast if you're curious about learning more about him. He's an interesting guy. And it's really inspiring the way he goes about his life. He took a lot of negatives and turned it into a positive. And he genuinely does seem at peace whenever he's just chilling.
Damn this hit me. Ed is such a strong person to have gone and go through all the Bs. Glad he was able to open up and probably help someone who might be going through a similar situation. Much love. ❤️
Steve is such a sweetie. He really knows how to read people and is super supportive. Such a great guy.
dayum this was a pretty crazy story. don't rly know too much about ed but im glad hes doing better
You can get to know more about Ed on David's channel.
Ed has a channel too lol
i damn near cried watching the podcast where Ed talked about his father on david's channel
I can't believe that self-help leader kicked Ed out LMFAOOO that's ridiculous
They only care for $
@@peacelife I don't know about that. They did refund his money and told him they couldn't help him.
@@MyLife-og2kr they would lose more money long term if someone was to suicide under their program...
@@dennisxiong7373 very true. It will definitely crush that organization. A self help member committed suicide in their resume wouldn't look good to anyone. But they did refund his money.
@@peacelife if they cared only about $ they'd get him to buy more of their program. It's not that they didn't want to help, they just couldn't.
“Suicide? Yeah dawg sorry we can’t do nun bout that.” Lmfaooooo
Wow Ed! Thank you for sharing. It is true. Only you can review your past life, action, and thought. Only you can help yourself. Great talk!
I really appreciate Ed disclosing his stories and Steve for asking the right questions.
ive watched jk for years and this has to be one of my favorite videos ever
This is why mental health is so important. Big ups to this man and every one going through the same shit.
Ed...alot of people will reject you because they don't understand..you know who won't...keep growing,your time to do what you were meant to do is coming close...and this journey is the beginning 🙏

Glad Steve was there seems Joe can't sit in the awkwardness, has to joke instantly
or constantly
This really hit home for me. Thank you Ed for sharing
Steve is incredible in these types of situations. He's a very funny guy and knows when to crack jokes and lighten the mood. But he does so well with serious topics. Great listener and asks perfect follow up questions. Loved this ❤
Crying @ 26:00 onwards.... Ed is such a beautiful human being i didnt know anyone else felt this way
I've never sat and just focused before on JKNews - Thanks for sharing and opening up, please join more of the JK fam vids, really enjoyed your views.
Thank you Ed for sharing your story! I was really moved and glad you're here to help others who might be going through the same thing.
Honestly, its episodes like this and content like this that helps people know they're not alone in this journey.
Glad y’all shared this on the main channel. Thanks for sharing, Ed. Related in so many ways.
Shoutout to Ed for being so open on this topic that is genuinely so overlooked. Keep on growing Ed you’re not alone!
this was easily the bestttt OTR that you guys have done thus far!! Ed you’re amazing it’s unreal! Also forever appreciating how warm and welcoming steve always is, he always puts every new guest at ease 💖
Reading through the comments, I'm so glad that they're are all positive. We all could relate to Ed in many ways
I really appreciate him opening up about something so personal like this. This video is for sure gonna help a lot of people

Truly a strong person 💛
That's brutal... You never know what people are going through mentally, always be that smiling face. It could be your smiling face that saves them.
That was so deep, and genuine. Ed, thank you for the insight.
Ed you’re winning at life!!! It takes so much courage for someone to completely switch their life around and I have so much respect for you. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us with your stories in JKN and Genius Brain.
Ed is such a great guest. He's one of the few that gets so raw that he got Steve and Joe to stop cracking jokes.
By far my favourite episode from JKnews ever. Everyone was mature and gave value to the conversation.
Ed’s honest and vulnerable. Wow, massive respect.
I love Ed, definitely gonna be my second Oppa after David. Thank you for sharing. Truly.
One of the best guests ever! love Jk for being hilarious love them more for sharing this deep episodes too.
this is one of the best episode in a while
Ed is a Korean OG 👌🏼💯
Ed I’ve been isolated my whole life. I wanted you to know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE FEELING ALONE.

Virtual hug 🤗💕
Wow this was a very intense story. I really wanted to give him a hug.❤ Thanks for being so open.
Mad respect to Ed. It takes a lot for someone to share things like this
I loved this episode of OTR. So glad Ed was able to be open in a safe, loving environment ❤️
Thank you for sharing Ed, and for reminding us all that we're all in this together
Ed! I won't say much but it means everything and I'm pretty sure everyone is thinking the same!! YOU FUCKING ROCK!
Thank you Ed. This was refreshing and honest and I appreciate seeing Steve expose some depth I. His character as well. Steve is the troll to so many guests I enjoy seeing him play more a big brother dynamic. Thank you jk

Ed's storys and experience is very relatable. I like when ppl share their struggles and really share their perspectives and journey .
If only i can give this guy a hug. Seems like a cool dude. I hope he gets better for him!
I really do love Ed with all my heart
This was some real stuff, thank you so much to Ed for opening up like this and I hope you are able to surround yourself with much better downass people from now on
Ed is so dope man, heard him from genius brain and so glad we got to see him here. Get him on more often.
Thank you, I didn't realise how much I needed it to hear this
I don't understand how people can voluntarily dislike this video smh
@nWo Member ?
@nWo Memberoh ok my fault, I misunderstood the emoji.
Ed I just want to give you a hug. Thank you for sharing. You are not alone.

He’s on David so podcast - genius brain. He’s quite introspective and very articulate.
Joe shared him on an Instagram story, he's Edparkvp on twitter and insta
this is the deepest OTR I can think of! what a great convo and shoutout to Ed for opening up. You're helping a lot of people who are going through their struggles by doing this
I'm literally speechless. Ed is a real survivor.
This reminded me of the time I called the suicide hotline and they didn’t answer 🤦🏽♀️ if I ever become a comedian I’m saying that on stage 😂
I don’t even know who Ed Park is but listening to this story genuinely made me cry. I’m motivated to one day do the turn around when I’m brave even to call everyone I’ve wronged and apologize. I don’t need forgiveness I just want them to know that I don’t want them be hurt if it’s especially by me anymore.
if you want to hear more about Ed, he often appears in the GeniusBrain Podcast(the one with David So) and he has some very interesting stories
"We love hosting super spreader events"
"Bart makes this amazing wuhan wagyu"
😂😂😂
my goodness ed we sound like we are going thru the exact same thing in life i had an addiction as well
So fortunate to have heard Ed's story!! Thank you for sharing Ed and thank you JK for bringing him in as a guest!
Very good episode, ended up in tears. But I'm sending all the love to Ed! I wish you all the best in life
Ed is so wise beyond his years. Hope to see him in more videos. I love deep convos like these!
Ed, you went through some really hard times and I hope you find people who try to understand you, love you, who correct you when you're wrong and stand by you. Don't give up. We are with you.
Ed fought through it all to tell his story today to hopefully, just hopefully. 1 PERSON, could be inspired by him to get out of their rump and be his bart to someone else! thanks Ed!
glad he shared his story i’m sure so many can relate. i feel like i’m the only person thriving with this pandemic. i love being alone and not socializing and going anywhere lol 🤷🏻♀️
Dude, this resonated so much. Thank you for sharing that. I appreciate this level of connection.
This man went to Iraq during the war to find himself.
I would love more episodes like this! Talking about self-help, growth, mindfulness, etc.! Loved this one.
Not the video I was expecting but absolutely the video I needed today!
I have no idea who Ed Park is but this man is inspirational. Glad to hear you're in a better place, Ed. And shout out to Steve, his emotional intelligence is amazing.
beautiful episode and beautiful opportunity and environment for this kind of conversation. incredible story about real versatility and personal strength. I think many of us can relate to his experiences, some to a deeper extent than others including myself. His words were loud enough to me that I want to self reflect on how i present myself to others. not only to be more easily welcomed, but more to be less abrasive and judge mental. There's no good passing ill feelings i've received onto another person. The idea of not making things shitty for people is not an easy idea to discover by yourself.

We're here for you Ed. I know it's hard to believe that faceless strangers on the internet understand what you're going through or care about you, but I hope you know that we all want you to have peace in your heart and mind. Please know that we don't want you to feel suffocated by your pain anymore and we hope you heal. Hugs.
this video brought so many memories of my own. i could relate to what he said on so many levels. Thank you Ed for being so vulnerable and authentic.
Prob my fav ep so far
I absolutely loved this episode. It was so real and honest and just really a reflection of how a lot of people probably feel. You're great Ed!!!!
Thanks for having Ed on and Ed thanks for sharing, I know you’ve touched a lot of people with your stories. Sending hugs, love and prayers to ya 💛
Damn he’s inspiring 🥺 I might’ve cried a bit 💕 but it’s okay
We need more of this real life stuff
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insight and experience Ed! I’m certain that it’s helping a lot of people. You’re awesome!
Thanks for sharing your story Ed.
