CatNoodles Does gofundme support conversion of currencies? I haven’t used gofundme enough to know.
Is there a possibility to visit them personally and bring things what would be needed? Also, does it matter, what currency? He is doing amazing job! Wishing them the best of luck!
I'm wondering if all of the donation will go straight to the family directly?
Done. Thank you, Asian Boss for this opportunity to give back to society. Merry Christmas.
And CONFRONTED the school about the students being prejudice against his boys. Way to go, Papa!
Awww "Papa"🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@PennyMsElite He's not even married, so it's not really shocking that he'd take boys first. There are other people out there who take care of the children, as well.
@@sulsur4151 maybe in elementary school... most of them didnt know what is good or bad.
i saw no one bullying someone since i went middle school.
nowadays i can easily say, there no bullying in my school.
if there are, student council will punish them immediately
@@PennyMsElite If a grown man such as himself take in girls who knows what people would say, you know what society's like these days smh
Sobbing ebichu is cute That’s true. People would make rumors and it would probably be hard for him to understand the girls once they get into puberty, but mostly fake rumors.
i swear asian boss always finds angels that we don't ever know about
Yes
I know...I was tired of all the negativity I was thinking of moving to a forest
@@hakunamatata-fg5ky i have told this to someone (let go to jungle)😂😂😂
It was on bbc news a few weeks ago
He needs a bigger house. His heart can't possibly fit in.
This!
^^
That hit harder than a rock-
@@Ravist-P That hit harder than a rubber bullet-
This house is huge huh
He's struggling now, but imagine in the future when he has 10 grown sons and even more grandchildren to look after him. Hope he stays strong!
Wait um im confused, if they have grandchildren they should have their own home right? Because they have their own personal new family with their children?
@@Muffetindo11 So you don't have a relationship with your grandparents? That's what they were referring to...
@@Muffetindo11 In Asia, it's kind of expected that children take care of their parents in their old age.
@@mizusenshi8172 oh yeah, i forgot about that even tho i am myself with my big sister doing it, apologies, i wrote this at midnight so might have been tired in drowsiness
@@mizusenshi8172 Used to be the same in the Western world. Children were even called the "pension" of parents. It's mostly outdated by now.
"Don't ever talk to me or my son or my son or my son or my son or my son or my son or my son or my son or my son or my son again"
why did this comment send me 😭
😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
😭😭😂
🤣😭😭🤣😭😭
Best comment 😂😂😭😭
How come no one is talking about the fact that the first child doesn’t even know where his mother and sisters are and that his father is deceased... I can’t even imagine having this life style, so when someone takes you in and gives you a home, wow just wow.
Je-va-duh this is a common circumstance for refugees
And the painting after the interview just broke my heart
Honestly, a lot of family members of NK refugees get beaten, tortured, or killed if their loved ones escape or attempt to. If you commit a crime, not only will your family and friends possibly get punished and killed, but three generations under you as well. Any crime or wrongdoing your great grandparent committed would instantly make you worth trash in NK, the minute you're born. That's because the Kim's believe in a 3 generational hierarchy like that. So if you commit a wrongdoing and have children, even their children will be looked down upon. You also have to have money, at least around $5000 (4,500,260 NK Won), to get help being smuggled out of the country. The majority of North Koreans are starving, literally most of them starve, and if they don't turn to illegal means of making money (which has a high risk of being put in a slave labor, torture concentration camp in itself) they will most likely die from starvation. So it is hard to even get this high amount of money to bribe. The money doesn't even cover the high emotional costs of abuse, sexual abuse, starvation, exploitation and other things that people put up with in order to escape. Most people get separated from family members trying to escape, if by capture, getting split up, or death.
And that doesn't even cover daily horrors of North Korea like what goes on in concentration camps and abuse. And the hardships and the starvation of living there. All of that just covers trying to escape.
kizzmysass God I’m to be born where in Pakistan then 😳
Venus in general I’m surprised they didn’t mention if mom stayed behind or if she passed away is what I was getting to ... also I’m a war refugee n usually when a child doesn’t know where a parent is, it means they are deceased:(
“Because of my kids, I was able to live as a better Kim Tae Hoon.” 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I’m crying
What is kim tae hoon?
@@kamuikanna6922 Someone who is a awesome human being!
@@kamuikanna6922 his name
@Nanda Ahmad Zidan No. He doesnt have a wife
I wonder if he is single
Imagine one day when the boys get married, and they say "I would like to thank my father... Mr Kim Tae Hoon" instead of uncle. That would be the best moment in Mr. Kim's life.
Stop ur going to make me cry 😭
I love how when he talks about them he goes “MY kids” I don’t know why but it’s just so wholesome
He actually says the "kids in my house"- directly translated as "our house's kids" (우리집의 아이) but they just translated it as "my kids".
He refers to them in multiple ways in Korean throughout the video ("our" kids, the kids, etc.), all of which end up being translated as "my kids" because it'd be unnatural to translate them in any other way.
Yeah he pretty much is saying "our kids" which in Korean, if you say "my cat" it sounds weird, you'd say "our cat" as in the cat in "our" house. In fact you'd say "our house" too. I can't explain why but it makes more sense to me that way too even though my mother speaks a different Asian language.
So like he's not directly saying my kids, but rather "the kids we've got at home."
God bless this man and all he's doing. I pray he and his kids always have enough.
What he said about never helping anyone, and how he would be boring and selfish had he not met his sons. That is really eye opening. Caring for others makes life that much sweeter. It gives us purpose, and purpose gives us life, indefinitely.
This man is probably the nicest person on earth
Along with mrbeast
also among us, the most ordinary
Bbl Twitty what’s a me too ?
I mean look up Paul Farmer, but this guy is very kind
Rather one out of many nice persons
The one friend: Wow your brother’s cute-
The one brother: Which one?
The one friend: Uh well...
the one with glasses did something to my heart
Your friend: -Every one of them-
@@Purple_haired_cleric I see someone here wants to see a harem! Lol
@@emitain8408 Why not? 🤣
I love the fact that he refers to them all as 'my kids' not just 'kids'.
Damn when they're older the family reunions are going to be wild af.
Bubbly Snowflake my great grandmother had 9 children so our family parties and reunions nowadays have 80-140 people. most weddings are 175-250 people
ouija subliminals I- that’s a crowd and a half
@@vega1617 my grandmother had Ten children so yeah it feels the same as you said
Yes, my great grandmother had 7 surviving children and they tend to get out of hand but are very fun
My grandmother from my mother side had 15 surviving children (and the youngest was my the same age as mine) while my granmother on my father side had 7 children, now imagine what a crowd is that.
I hope one of the kids makes it big and rewards the father for his care.
I hope every one of them makes it big😊
A woman? Idk xd
They will make him visit north korea
@@feliciaheartfilia5258 i heard they opened a restaurant with the kids
Only one? All
"in north korea if you are built up that means you belong to a wealthy family" this statement showcase the poverty in the country. People must be starving there🥺
Yes people are literally starving there. They get sent to a camp if picking up spare rice from a field. It is absolutely awful.
@@NotAnotherKuromi proof that juche doesn't work
@@moustachio05 There's really no need for proof
if you are interested in north korea and the living conditions of the people there you can check out yeonmi park's channel :) she talks a lot about everyday life of north korean people and also the politics of north korea
They are starving in North Korea....Most of the country do not have elctricity and all men must do 10 years of military training and in that 10 years they basicly never see their family,

"Before i met my kids, i had never done anything for anyone else." This part was so relatable and it made me reflect how selfish i am as a person and for Kim Tae Hoon to finally go out of his comfort zone and serve others despite facing many difficulties like his parents disapproval, financial difficulties and etc is so inspiring.
I salute to you sir for you have a humanitarian heart to this kids. I'm emotionally upon watching your videos keep up the good works.
I pray all the kids could live a normal life not only as a Korean but as a person. They deserve to be loved, educated and experienced all sentiments of a human being. May we all succeed in our lives.

oneng kusumah yikes
I am Korean, so be patience with my English. In Korea, student do not do home chore. They go to school for long hour, and many do not get home untill 11 PM or late. Korea parent do not want kid to take time from study, so most parent do all chore in home and do not mine. Korean kids only focus is school. When I in high school, I will wake 5AM, leave at 6 AM and not get back untill 12 AM. I also had 2 or 3 hour of study after. I did no have time to eat proper meal. I only eat meal at school for lunch because stress from school. Most kid can no eat proper meal, so they can no do home chore.
That must be very hard, all the best for you please take care of your health💕💕💕🌞🌞
ur english is great btw, thanks for the info! 💛👌
Ah! I was wondering why he didn’t have the kids didn’t clean up themselves! This clears things up a whole lot, thanks!
Thank you for this info!
Thank you for sharing that with us. It's good to learn but sad to see that Korean children are pushed so much and have no time to actually be children
"what do u call this kind of house or facility"
We call it a group *HOME*
I hope they give back to their “father” when they all get older. 🥺
Imagine when they all get older and find jobs. If each gave him only five dollars each week, that is $200. total each month.
@@pattymelt6577 I am sure that some of them will give him more than that.
@@pattymelt6577 this comment doesnt sit right w me,,, why we talking abt money here,,,
@@pattymelt6577 raising a child is not a retirement plan 😊
@@ainderrojo6933 I never said it is. I was responding to the video, not making a retirement plan. It made emphasis of how much it is costing one man to rescue several children. My point is, I'm sure they recognize his many sacrifices, and will eventually be in a position to return some of that generosity.
I'm sorry I didn't realize some people would be too thick skulled to understand that without my having to include more detail. Hereafter I will try to be more specific when I write posts, so even people like you can follow my drift. That is, unless you are one of the people who just like looking for places to write snotty comments.
I think people will help him and his fosterchildren out financially if Asian Boss creates some kind of account to send money to. Maybe PayPal.
He has a pure heart. He is made to be a dad 😊
Yes I would like if Asian boss did one
amen yes it needs to be done
We've actually set up a crowdfunding page for him! give.asia/growthstory
Asian Boss thank you! I’ll be donating on payday this was such a great story, thank you
Yeah
I admire this guy's outlook on life. The part when he said that if he haven't met those boys, he would've just gone through the rat race living for himself. I hope more people like that chef reaches out and help those boys.
I was born in Korea. And even though I wish for unification, after hearing about the discrimination those boys went through, unification, sadly is going to be very difficult.
For now, I think the best that we can hope for is peaceful coexistence.
mx5hong I agree and honestly, reunification may not ever happen as North and South Koreans are the same ethnicity but harbor so much hostility towards each other. That is sad but true so how can they reunify? The best thing is coexist in peace which is already a hard thing to do.
It's also hard because the skills that one need to survive in North Korea are completely opposite to what south koreans need to survive/excel really and truly
It's still difficult in Germany after 30 years of being back together. The separation wasn't a total one and it only lasted 40 years but the rift between the people lasted.
Withy Octopus Really? I’ve never heard about this. What kind of hostilities has it started among the German people?
4:05 look he is watching them go to school cute
That's so responsible and nice of him, he is the most strongest person I have ever seen. His like super man. We need more people like him in this modern century
We need to be like him
Asian boss please ask this kind man if he would agree with having a GoFundMe account!!!! I think a lot of people would like to help out even if it’s a small contribution!!!!!!
Edited: Check out their description box they do have a link to the site where people can help out!!!!!!❤️❤️
BoobooBear Very good idea!
Well, that's a good idea indeed.. 😀
Please read this Asian Boss
yes please, thank you
Up
I want a movie about the man and his kids it’s so wholesome
One of the sons did make a movie about their family. Its the top comment right now. He even posted the link to the movie as well.
Kailah Sanner yeah I just noticed it he did posted a link. Thanks. ^^
Isnt there already a chinese movie of it
did they delete the link? i cant see it right now :/
I cant see it do u mind telling me what it is ?
i love how the dad just awkwardly laughed when the chef gave an inspirational speech because he didn’t know what the hell he was saying
The foster father is giving us hope that there is still love and humanity in this crazy world. I have great respect for him and give a big thanks to Chef Linus!💜💜💜
idk why, but i feel like the boy with the glasses has gone through a lot more than he can say it out loud
Yeah he seemed a bit nervous. I hope he has a fun life from now on
Well theres a good chance his parents and sister are dead and he probably knows that but doesnt want to say it out loud cause that shits depressing as hell
He's not even done with puberty and he doesn't have a true mom or father. Luckily he has a male role model and brothers to look out for him, but his sistera he probably worries about also. He's been homeless and faced death if caught when in North Korea. So many things these kids have faced. It's incredible what the father Kim is doing for them all. Truly him saying he is living for them is an inspiration.
yes poor kid you can tell by his face and emotions he wanted to cry :(
Yeah he didn't mention what happened to the sister he fled with and he was definitely old enough to remember.
Bruh imagine people thinking you a spy and getting reported in school.
The thing is though the two countries are still at war and they HAVE sent legit spies so it's a bit iffy.
it might seem funny to you but this is actually happening...
@@ksoodyo7212 even if i was sent to spy and someone show me wat Love is then i might have a change of heart
like the indian schoolboy whose handmade clock was mistaken for a bomb in the us?
@@teasea4879 I thought it was absurd that a kid got arrested for making a clock, because somehow it looked like a bomb. Then I saw the actual photos and I totally understood why the mistake was made. It was basically a suitcase with a lot of wiring and a timer. The only thing missing is a mass that could resemble plastic explosives.
Should be made into a K drama! Would win recognition and praise worldwide! God bless this man and the 10
It will make a great story indeed
The chef: What you’re doing is so amazing...
The dude: Haha... somebody help me what the heck is this dude saying
He says "MY kids". Not The kids. I'm crying so hard!
Literally he said the kids in my house, not exactly my kids.
@@fathimatuzzahrazahra5144 nope, later in the video he says "my kids"
I never cry... and I cryed watching this. What beautiful sweet children! I am so glad they have a beautiful home with a caring 'Uncle'.
신한슬 he’s actually saying “the kids” or “the kids in the house” in Korean, but was translated into “my kids”
@@yerro504 8:15 he says "우리 아이들 (our kids)". "우리" has lots of uses and it also replaces "나의 (my)"
My wallet is too broke to handle 10.
Him too
My mother was one of ten everything was waaay cheaper back then and kids were given the basics rather than anything and everything like now though. Ten kids today would be sooo hard
Do u handle 1? 2? 3? W...T...F.......!
@Sudo Sudo HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Forget 10, I can’t even handle myself xD
He needs dishwasher ! I can’t imagine all the dishes he have to wash every single day 🤯
Perhaps he needs two
isnt that normal
The South Korean man is very amazing... Raising 10 boys and make them as his own... *I'm crying* uwu...
I always assumed that defectors would be viewed as brave and courageous, that's the way I see them.
Ditto
Probably no words to describe them, they are prepared to die if sth goes wrong, many of them speak about getting hold of poison or small blades to swallow if caught.
Luckily and thankfully many of north koreans adapt to the south, live hard, and some do really well, but all live with a feelings of guilt that their families members are left behind who need to pay off the defectors choice as being thrown to concentration camps or as simple as losing jobs and being watched by authorities the whole life.
Unfortunately most people tend to see anyone leaving their own country and coming to another as “taking their tax dollars” and such for the social programs that help those people. It seems weird to outsiders but I imagine we all have something like that where we’re from
@K-dramaKpop Lover yeah., because killing themselves if got caught by north korean is the nicer things to do because if not. Their whole family will be in trouble. Or worst they where died in prison camp. Really unfortunate people.
They are refugees. They are treated the way all refugees are treated, with added side of suspicion.
I love how he says "MY kids" and not "the kids". Idk why it made me emotional but it made me happy that he see them as his own and not just kids he's raising.
@I'MDEprEssEdaNDqUIrkY He also does say our kids and my kids. Theres no direct translation for certain sayings but he did pretty much say the korean version of my kids.
This family needs a movie. Id definitely want to see their story.
When you are selfish, life is dull and boring. Those with the biggest hearts have the most meaningful, fulfilling lives.
This man should be president of North Korea
He probably would make it a better place.

I kept looking at the thumbnail and going, 'OkAy BuT wHo'S tHe DAd?' He looks so young!
Bru same 😂. I even counted them to make sure they're 11. I thought the dad wasn't in the thumbnail until I stared for like 40 secs
Me too.
I did also, I thought they were just showing all the boys at first, I couldn't find him. My husband is Chinese and he looks like he is 15 years younger than he is and he's 45. ^_^
I still cannot find it tbh
Same. That’s why I watched it to see who the dad was.
knowing people like him still exists makes my heart soft. Im just so happy we're not totally doomed
This man is an angel! He cares so much and sticks up for his kids. Damn proud papa bear. I wish you health and good fortune, because you deserve it. And so much more!
Its not easy to raise one kid
He is raising 10 ...god so much respect ...
@No Name yeah ikr .
He has to be one of the kindest and most caring person to walk the earth. Why can't we have more people like him
be one :)
Hart 3192 I will when I’m older I want to work really hard and buy houses for people on the streets and homeless kids. Or people from other countries who have come here who need help. I’m 14 and go to Kenya sometimes where there are a lot of homeless children who are thrown out for disabilities and live on the streets rough. It opened my eyes when I was out with my parents and a few homeless came and my dad is kinda greedy sometimes and I don’t wanna be rude but he didn’t like giving out money to anyone but his mother and siblings so my mother pays for everything for us kids I don’t blame him tho. I made a scene in the restaurant and I wanted to give him money and I begged my parents but they said no and these people needed some food. I took my moms wallet and took a pound Ik that was wrong but I was desperate my mother shouted at me and I’ll never ever forget the look in the mans eyes liked he wanted help and I couldn’t help him. I remember the feeling in my heart i felt so empty and horrible and didn’t eat for the rest of the day. Some people are horrible
this melts my heart all they want is meat.. I would love to cook for you. wish we are neighbours and I wont hesitate to share food to this lads....hats off to the father.. such a generous, loving and caring. man.
I'm 41 and a mom of 4 kids, I know the struggle, it's not easy raising children. You have your ups and downs, you just have to live life one day at a time sometimes. I have 3 boys and 1 girl. They are 21, 18, 8, and 7 now. I hope you will continue helping the children, you have such a kind heart! :)
He didn't even eat anything at the end, choosing to leave it all for his kids instead 😭😭...what a guy!!!
He really needs assistance for the boys especially when they get to college. I'm praying for more blessings for you!
Yeah, in most countries college is free. But america hates every kind of social system sooo
@@ninavinterova9875 in my country, college is free, for selective poor students, but in general it's based how much your parents earn cause our college fund are being paid by parents, unlike in America.
@@ninavinterova9875 in my country college is kind of free, it costs like 40 dollars each semester wich i think it'is really affordable.
Don't worry, in SK college is cheap, getting a job is the real problem.
the kids should help him
the way the boys reacted to the food made me tear up, this man is doing so well and i hope they’re all healthy and happy
I admire him in taking taking care of the kids. The way he says "My Kids" melts my heart.
I fed a group of 7 men yesterday for a house party and my back almost broke from all the cooking and cleaning. Kudos to the caretaker for his hardwork. Thank you Asian Boss for sharing.
Now THIS IS WHAT I CALL A GOOD AND HARD WORKING CARING MAN
It is such a personal sacrifice for him to raise these young men. Special blessings to him.
Was tearing up the whole time. I don’t know. It’s both sad and heart warming. Thanks to the selfless dad, these kids are taken care of.
"Because of my kids, I was able to live as a better Kim Tae Hoon."
🥺🥺🥺🥺😭 such a humble guy.
I honestly think that people in general who go against their parent's beliefs and follow their own is a super power in itself. A lot of people don't stand up for themselves when it comes to their parents, but the people who do good in the world and don't care about the negative, they're the people I respect more than anyone. Differences bring out the good in the world.
teach them to help you out doing the household chores.Its very hard for you if your the only one who are doing all the responsibilties there.
Actually Korean students study a lot by study a lot I mean like 6am to 12am

Hi Kim sir, I'm speechless to watched your video. I don't know how you can be so kind and generous towards those kids . On top, the chef who visited was not to be forgotten. How would they be without you. One boy says he hasn't seen his 2 sis and his mother for very long times. Of course they are save with you but those who are still struggling in North Korea. Lets hope our Almighty God helps them. Fr India..nagaland. Lots of love.🙏
Tae Hoon Kim is a real hero. I would like to see follow up stories on this wonderful family.
Ed
Me too.
His youtube channel is "총각엄마TV"
This warms my heart so much! Even though I'm not ready to have kidsyet, I really want to adopt kids someday! Too many children and teens out there needing a home and family to make them feel wanted and loved.
Nomad77 Exactly and I hope more people are open to adoption as there are many kids that deserve a loving home.
Yes!! You always see people out there adopting babies and young children because they’re “worried about not forming a bond” with older kids, but thats total bs!! Adopting older kids is a lot better in my opinion cuz that’s probably when they need the most stability in their life. Babies are also so much work lol
yesss me too for me it's lowkey upsetting that everyone always wants multiple kids all of their own when there are millions that don't have a family anymore.. like why is it not normal to help our children all around the world, it's so sickening.
Yes!! I also feel the same way as you. These kinds of documentaries actually led me to decide that I want to adopt. I initially was just so adamant not to have kids. My thoughts during that time was that I just couldn't bring children into this kind of world that we live in, then I started watching videos of this nature and I thought, I should adopt because these children have no choice but to live in such a cruel world. Even if I can only help one child, to him/her it would always be the moment where his/her life changed.
Same. I want to adopt all of my kids.
This man is so sweet. He deserves everything in the world.
Mr. Kim has one of the biggest hearts in the world. This is very inspiring. God bless him and his kids!
The fact that he refers to them as “his kids” makes me feel that there is still good in this world. God bless this man and his children

Mr. Kim should make them schedule chores with bed, cooking, cleaning. Teach them how to be responsible, it will benefit them for atleast forget the struggle n trauma. I hope they happiness in future.
Asian kids dont have as much free time as those of western countries. School time is longer and you have to attend after school classes so that might be why he does everything himself
@@sharemain18 you're definitely right, but it's still normal for asian kids to do chores in the house. I think it'd be good for them to do little things, like doing their own dishes or sweeping their own rooms or something. Something not too time consuming.
There is a video on TH-cam were one student from England and one from South Korea switch places. South Korean kids study until late at night usually 11 pm. They end up in study cafe's after a couple of hard hours in school.
At the beginning of the video you see the kids folding clothes and making their beds. I think they do help but depending on their schedule that day or maybe they all clean on weekends. We don’t know but I doubt the man does absolutely everything by himself (I hope not).

It's commendable how the interviewer is able to listen to all of this without crying.
i know!!
Outtakes
If everyone had a kind heart like Kim Tae Hoon, the world would be fine❤️
With that delicious food, i have strong feeling Kim Jung Un will defect to south korea after seing this video.
They're all actually pretty handsome
kim_the Punky well yeay, and?
that's why he adopt those boys ,for some "lovey-dovey" action purposes. still suspicious
I agree
@@bulk_manifesto3624 what.
bulk_manifesto whats wrong with you🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I'm crying because this family is so beautiful and wholesome.
Mr Kim Tae Hoon SHOULD get government financial support for his foster home!! He's providing a safe and caring environment for the kids to adjust from leaving North Korea (let's not forgot their mental health) to a new life and become good citizens of South Korea. You can't put a price for that!! Mr Kim Tae Hoon is god sent!! May the children appreciate his kindness and give him the respect he deserves!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
I was feeling like crap today, watching this made me feel better. There really are good people out there.
The sophomore boy is so graceful, he's very interesting to watch
Not all heroes wear capes. This man is doing God's work.
Yes God working through him.
Watching this make me think “wow” but then I realized that my mom had 9 kids plus her, my dad and, my uncle makes 12 people in one small house with only 3 bedrooms and 1 restroom and one day I will buy a big house for my family
Good luck! I believe you can do it!
you can do it! my grandma raised 9 kids and only in their late twenties could my mom and my aunts buy a big house for her and my grandpa !! so as long youre alive you can do it 💖💖
I'm crying as Chef Linus is serving them meat. The kids really seem to enjoy the food. The simple joys in life that we take for granted are not so simple for some. Thank you to all who are involved in taking care of these kids. I will make a donation.
This video is so intensely pure from start to finish. Especially the part at the end with the chef. It's so uplifting to see something so genuine.
*This is so heartbreaking that the boy don't know where his mother and his sister are.*
*I teared down on his story.*
I know they had limited time for the interview, but I have so many more questions...
1) Does he ever have time to date? What does he do for female companionship? What does he tell potential dates? "Oh, and by the way, I'm foster father to ten boys."
2) What's he like to the boys? Is he strict? Permissive? How does he keep ten boys in line, particularly boys that aren't his own biological sons?
3) Has he had any of his boys "graduate" from foster care? How are they doing? How would they rate him as a caretaker?
4) How is he supporting himself if he spends all his time taking care of the boys and the house? Is the state sponsoring him as an orphanage?
5) It would have been interesting to hear from the parents, aunt & uncle, and grandmother about how they think about what he's doing now.
6) How hard was it to stand up to the school for the one boy accused of being a spy? It's not easy even for American biological parents to stand up for their kids, and S.K. has even more respect for schools and school teachers than we do, so that must have been hard.
7) Does he ever get a break? What are the weekends like when the boys are home all day? Do they ever get a chance to take a trip or get out of the city? So many questions!
This man is AWESOME and deserves more recognition. These kids are very lucky to have someone as loving and as worried about their we'll being as this man is. This is so refreshing to see.
Chef Linus’ face makes him look like the happiest man alive
Today is Christmas, and this video is Christmas exemplified. So giving and so beautiful.
Angela Sarah Tan-Chiang It’s also Christ exemplified ❤️
The boy who did'nt know where his family are, is so touching i can clearly feel his pain stay safe please❤️
What an exemplary young man. I am extremely impressed with what he does for these precious children. I love the way he calls them, ‘my kids’. It is so comforting! What a wonderful heart he has. He amazes me! It would be so nice if this kind act was done for them at Christmas time.
god bless this man, doing the work some people would never want to be involved in.
"I would just have been someone who followed the crowd." So poignant.
I wish this man a very happy mother's day. You are more than a mother to them, you are their real guardian angel
