This is a cultural thing. Oftentimes, those who are older than you who give you hugs pat you on the back as a gesture of adoration. It's a nonverbal way of saying "I adore you" or "I love you". Koreans rarely ever say the words "I love you" even to your own child or parents so oftentimes we find other ways to express it without actually saying it directly. It's that passive aggressive nature that we're just born with 🤣🤣🤣
I am now almost 30, my mother said she love me for the first time a couple years ago. The first time she actually embraced a hug that wasn’t responded with Pat Pat Pat was just a couple years ago. It’s very much a cultural thing.
Sarah Sings oh thank god it wasn’t his real father. But his stepfather seemed like a very sweet man and my wishes go out to min, eugene, and their family.
No it is his biological dad.. look at the image recreation video- hes the spitting image of him. And he always calls him his dad, and his dad’s girlfriend his stepmom If he was his stepdad he would have said so
Ngl I started sobbing when Eugene said, "Even though you didn't have a dad, I have a good dad". Especially after hearing how Eugene used to hate his dad, and finally he's able to rekindle their relationship a bit.
Eugene's father seems like he went through so much and it affected so many things like his relationship with Eugene and it just breaks my heart, I just want to hug them both.
I really hope Eugene and his dad found peace with each other. I really do. They seemed they broke a lot of boundaries and it really came through this experience.
you should watch the vid of eugene and his dad going to a gay bar together!!! their relationship has progressed really well and it makes me super happy to see it
Ghabrielle Almeida tbh Eugene’s dad wasn’t a bad dad, he just came from Korea in a time where the country was really poor so he had to work much harder to support his family than native born Americans since they had more generational wealth built up, it’s the unfortunate part about moving countries especially to from a poorer one to a rich one. I feel like he would’ve been able to spend more time with his kids when they were young if not for the struggles immigrants face
@imyourdadandim9 whoaaa dude you got a stick in the mud. I dont want to speak against your family because each one are varied in life but i believe people can change and at least based on the try guys videos we saw, eugene and his dad had mend their relationship for the better ps: you're not at fault, your family is
i love the fact that even though Eugene HATES hugs (you can actually see a video about it) he gave his Father a real, emotional Hug! and his Father also seemed like he wanted to give him a real Hug that was very very sweet
Eugene: “Why did she leave you?” Eugene’s dad: “I have no idea.” Eugene’s dad: “Are you crying?” Eugene, red eyed: “No, are you crying?” There where so many more intimate moments between Eugene and his father. I never knew I could cry so hard. I love his dad ❤️
I teared up when eugene's dad talked about his past and when Eugene found out that his father's childhood/teenage years were worse than Eugene's... I'm really glad they got to do a video together. it really gave them a chance to connect..
ba nana Honestly, each video with the two of them together makes me a little sad. Especially juxtaposed against the others. I hope that this opens a door for them.
That's.... healthy? Like talking bad about someone after a breaup/divorce if they didn't do much bad, then that's just unhealthy. Edit: just for anyone who sees this, my dad and mom do **not** have this relationship. They are divorced. I know what it’s like to have parents like that.
@@djdog120 nearly every divorced couple I know talks smack about their exes to their kids. It’s not okay but it happens so often. Of course not everyone does this but it’s so prevalent. It’s something sweet to be pointed out as something to emulate.
Doing anything intimate with a parent can do that. Nothing creepy, but mom teaching you to shave your legs or put on makeup. With my dad it was helping him work on cars.
This is more insight into eugene's character than we've seen in the past 3 years. It was really touching and well done. Ps- everyone should take note- this is what we want from sponsored videos.
@@yaldabaoth9235 To me it is because growing up as an asian, my parents would pat me all the time. It was a sign of affection so maybe we just have different experiences.
Everybody is talking about Eugene and his father but no one is actually talking about how brave it was for both of them to put something that personal on the internet. So much respect for them.
It made my cryyy , my grandma became an orphan at age of 6, her mom died when giving her birth and her dad left her and I just respect her so much and I hope that when I grow up I can make her happy , and I think that for Eugene knowing that about his father was a big hit
Eugene and his dad are similar in their upbringing and on an emotional level...I can see why Eugene is more closed off now...I think in this video he saw himself in his dad too...which is why he told his dad he should have not gone thru it alone and talked about his parental struggles earlier...and then the hug at the end...eugene hates hugs but you can see he really loves his dad and his dad saying "I love you more" and stuff after the last video when they said they didn't say "I love you" often...I'm sorry I'm kinda ranting now but this video honestly just had me in tears especially when most of eugene's dad's moments made me uncomfortable to watch but so relatable as well since I never had a good relationship with my dad either :(
"I love you dad" "Eugene I love you more" "I love you most" "I love you more than you” “This is not a contest Dad." So that's where he secretly gets it from. 😂
Eugene and his father talking and seeing Eugene trying to hold back tears with anger and finding out the truth and finally getting the closure he needed really got to me
His dad seems so wise and kind. I wish Ned would've just listened or even talked to his dad before cheating on Ariel. I have a feeling his dad would've helped him work through whatever pushed him to cheat.
amaya lobato It's a weird idea that we are all just watching something like that. This is a special moment in both their lives and we get to goddamn see that. (And cry along) That's so special!
I'm Asian, from Japan. Allow us not hugging and not saying I love you to our parents. Because our culture associates hugging or saying I love you with more sexual context than that in Western world. Actually I sometimes argue about the difference of hugging culture with my colleagues from Europe. They recommend me to hug with my parents, but I just don't feel like doing that. It's unnatural to copy Western behavior in my private scene where we don't have the culture.
im jazz I agree with that, in my family it’s always hard to say an “I love you” because we know it means something and when we say it, there’s also awkwardness. We always use alternatives and say things like “Te quiero mucho.” Which translates to “I like you a lot.” So it’s never quite an “I love you” and even in non-foreign families, it can also be difficult.
Eugene and his dad made me tear up, but I think the part when my tears really kicked into gear was when Zach was thanking his dad and mom for supporting him through his depression. I'm so happy for him and jealous at the same time because my mom died before she could help me with my depression, and my dad refuses to acknowledge it at all.
I think of all the father son interactions, Eugene and his dad was the most impactful. You could see the anger he was holding onto melt away and he really got know and respect his dad. I'm legit in tears right now over that.
I really felt touched on the part when he said “I know when I was a teen I yelled at you and mom a lot “ and that hit different because its hard to explain how you feel as a teenager and you just want to be understood parents are the best gift you could ever get and they’ll always be there for you and put up with you and love you no matter what 😢
I think they both grew with this experience. They learned, especially Eugene, about each other and the history between them. It's not the same with the other Try Guys and their relationship with their dads. I feel like we got to go to go through this experience with Eugene and learn something really personal.
Most Korean parents as well as Hispanic Are very old school They don’t open up much Or when they do it’s rare ... it’s the way they are raised. My father was taught that crying and opening up is weakness and pathetic My mom as well 🤷🏻♀️ Now as a mother I show my daughter so much love and kiss her and squeeze her cheeks and give her so many bear hugs Something that if my parents do to me it feels uncomfortable even if we give each other hugs now
@@mokiiaanramirez1006 A lot of older generation white parents are the same way. I'm 24 , but my father is 61, so he is from a much different time than most of my peers' fathers. It was always different for me growing up, hearing friends and schoolmates recall things there dads had done or said that seemed very foreign to me. Crying was the biggest thing for me growing up, because I remember him always treating it like a bad thing, even with my mother. I remember he would tell her to leave the room any time she got too upset because he didn't want to be around it, so I just learned to preemtively hide it any time I did. He was even more rough on my brother, ten years my senior, when he was growing up, borderline abusive, but I got the older, more mellowed version of my dad. He was always a bit cold with me, emotionally, but I did always know he loved me, because he worked so hard to provide for us. My biggest fear was always being a disappointment to him, so much so that I hid the fact that I started smoking cigarettes at 14 all the way up til a year ago, lmfao. I was 23 years old, frantically giving my fiance my lit cigarettes any time my dad came around, or tossing them so he wouldn't see me with one. 😆😆 I have a daughter of my own now, though, and I love seeing him interact with her. It's the most wholesome and beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. She really opens him up, in a way I don't remember very well. I know he acted similar with me when I was a baby/toddler/small child, always doting on me, but by the time I gained cognitive, long term memory, his behavior had hardened. But anyway, I've ranted far too long, lol. Sorry about that!
Actually their relationship is quite sweet towards the end of the series. You can see that they actually said i love you to each other and they meant it not just for the video.
I'm just so proud of Eugene for really talking with his father. And can we just take a moment to see how similar are Ned's and Keith's dads to their sons...
It was seeing the red flags Ned may have learned from his dad, and Keith having a better example and being the superior husband. I mean, "We broke up and dated other people... It wasn't the same."
@@antithoughtpolice7497 in my opinion i don't think we should blame Ned's father for what he did to Ariel because Ned's father actually loves his wife and he didn't cheat on her like Ned and Ned could of learned that cheating behavior when he was a frat boy in collage
Eugene's Dad wow! What a guy, takes it all by himself and all inside him. A locked safe of traumatic events, but still so strong! And gotta mention Zach's depression and his father's compassion, pure father's love nothing else.
My best friend is exactly like that...she has so much family issues, I can't believe what she goes through, and I was starting to get suspicious at one point, until I called her over the phone and...heard stuff...
When Zach apologized to his dad I started crying. This video is so heartfelt and all the boys shared so much with their dads and they weren't acting. They were just spending time with one of the most important people in their lives.
Eugene talking to his dad was extremely heartbreaking, but what made me finally tear up was when Zach was talking to his father about his depression... for some reason when his voice broke a couple times I just started sobbing.
I wonder if having two kids did stress their relationship like he feared, but cheating is never ever ever the answer Ned, he really should’ve known better and learned to communicate stronger
If he feared it than that was on him, not the relationship itself. Those are his own insecurities being a husband and dad. If he wasn't ready and scared of having a family then he shouldn't have had one.
Cheating usually has nothing to do with the person being cheated on. It is usually a repeated, pathologized behavior and based on a podcast episode where Ariel basically implied that SHE was the one that Ned cheated with, at one point. The ex who was cheated on somehow got invited to their wedding (!!!) and Ariel had to set a hard boundary about it. Obviously she didn't say all that but it could be easily extrapolated from what she DID say. Remember this: if your relationship with someone is the result of cheating, just know that they rarely ever stop.
Me too my father and mother always try’s to spend time with me but it’s not like the amount I might need but we spend good times together but my father was away for two years because of well……war
LittleFilms I'm crying; I'm balling my eyes out. Because; I know what it's like, and I know how he feels, and how said it, broke me more than I already am, shattered 😭😭
Ashton Weir i know that uegen's father cameback but i also know what its like to not have a dad i mean i am still waiting i met him one day and that was it.
+Ashton Weir I know right same here! You can really hear the weight and emotional impact that question had on Eugene's dad, as if all the years of questioning the choices of his mother and the decisions, responsibilities and burdens he had to endure were all exposed in that single answer ... " I don't know why"
Eugene's dad is a mindblower. His dad died when he was a toddler, his mom left when he was in high school (I'm guessing financial reason as a single mother) but ended up studying so much that he ended up going to med school in texas (all scholarship probably) in a whole new country speaking non native language. And when he was having trouble conceiving kids he tried to adopt. But then he divorced with his wife and he decided to take custody. Wow. It should be a movie.
Iris Park it may also have been that given the time period , Eugenes' paternal grandma left her kids not bc of financial reasons but if she remarried she may have chosen to leave her kids with her mom and pretty much "forget" she ever had children and began her new life with a new husband and possibly they too started a whole new family. It sounds so far fetched but from my experience with Asian cultures, it does happen.
It does indeed. While sad to say, single father/mother leaving their children with grandparents "to find a better life" and ended up forgetting about them altogether is wayy to common in asia.
I feel like eugene has always had some sort of anger towards his dad because of things he did & didn't do & in this video I think that eugene finally got to understand the reasons for his dad's actions & this is a huge step forward for their relationship. I really hope their relationship gets stronger from here on out.
I love billboard singer I agree completely. It's nice that he and his dad were open and willing to break whatever was holding apart. I hope they're much closer from now on. I just feel like they both really needed this.
Eugene's dad went through some hard stuff. He actually struggled and he tried to give Eugene a better life, and he did. I'm really happy that this series happened! You could tell that they became closer.
I was crying seeing Eugene like it makes me weak like I started crying. His dad kept so many secrets from him throughout his whole childhood and I guess that's why I Eugene acts the way he does now but it was only to make Eugene stronger.
@@SP-ph5ws I think they meant that Ned fucked up bc he cheated on his wife, and the alleged mistress is someone named Alex, another employee from the Try Guys.
I understand about the "Korean culture" that Eugene was talking about. Even his dad said he want proud about it so he didn't talk but as an Asian, I know that's our culture. Dad in Asian has a big strong imagine. They don't want to show the sad moment or the failure. They are the biggest one in the family. They are in charge of providing for the whole family (no government fund). They need to be strong like steel. They don't say sorry, or love you or hug much. You can see it in Eugene sence with his dad. We dont know much about our dads or have fun with our dads like people in the West so you guys should feel happy if you has a deep happy relationship with your dad.
Yup.. asian dad's don't show much of their emotion... Sometimes I think that my dad doesn't even love me. But I know that one day I'd fully understand what he's going through.
I think that all of the guys relly got to know there dad's better it made me me cry though it's just soooooo loving and I thought it was amazing of all of them to talk and forgive and apologize for things they did they told them thigs they wanted to do it was just amazing 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Eugene's dad: Are you crying? Eugene, crying: What, no, I'm not, are you..? No, you Lmao, they are seriously adorable together. I feel like this series was better than family therapy for them
I'm so proud of Eugene and his dad for being vulnerable and telling each other I love you. They talked about so much and it looks like they bonded a lot in that moment
I dont know why but yeah I think this is an asian thing because I also have a hard time knowing my mom (i was raised by a single mom and she was just recently married)
Well. I was in the same situation when I was like 11. Then there is puberty, in wich I am still, that was just an horrible time for our relationship expecially before I came out as gay. Then I came out like three days ago and I feel like our bond is getting stronger. I love him much more now.
It's just an Asian thing, both India and china and those places. Kids and parents simply don't talk the same way as in Europe and the west. Sometimes I experience the same thing, even if I am an American born Indian. It's just a way of life. Not great but that's how it is.
It's interesting how Eugene and his dad's life kind of mirror each other as far as being/feeling abandoned. It made me sad that Eugene's dad seemed to feel shame that his parents weren't there, as if it was his fault. I think they both needed this talk. I hope they continue it. It makes me think about reaching out to my dad. We're not close either.
I really think that you should reach out to your dad, because it could be a significant "what if" if you never do it. But do it only when and if you're ready to do so. I'm rooting for you. :)
My dad died when I was 6. I will never get the chance to have a relationship with him. You should reach out to your father before you're in the same boat as me.
Shara It's so interesting how these family cycles play out, so obvious from the outside and yet they so often go unnoticed. Their mothers both left at these critical times. It's tragic, but it's also a great place for them to start to build a bond based on empathy. I hope they do.
Eugene's dad backstory: 6:38-6:48 hits you like a punch to the gut. You feel the weight of it, but 6:49-6:53 just hits you like a freaking truck. Your feelings have nowhere to hide.
Isabella Adams I'm so glad they were finally able to talk a lot of things out... I feel like Eugene isn't as frustrated anymore with his dad because of what he learned in this video... it seems like he understands now
oh my gosh Eugene is so sweet and is trying his best not to cry but he's already dying inside knowing that him is his dad went through almost the same situation about their parents. and i am happy that they were able to open up to each other that easily, it's like they're both just waiting for one of them to start the conversation. i don't have this moment yet with my parents and i hope to have it one day ♥
All fathers were so genuine in this video especially Eugene's father, God bless them and I hope their relationship with their sons continue to prosper.

"We did and then she left"
And the music stopped, my heart shattered in so many peices.
Janelle Galvez i know it’s like the record scratches and I was like huh what just happened
Im sorry but i didnt understand the « then she left » she left them or died ?
Oumi_Army im pretty sure she just left to marry another man cause she made an appearance in another buzzfeed video dressing eugene
raizal @@ they talking about eugene father mother , not eugene mother lol
He never met his father's mother so that wouldn't make sense. He was talking about his mother. His parents got a divorce.
Everybody is talking about Eugene and his father but no one is actually talking about how brave it was for both of them to put something that personal on the internet. So much respect for them.
Lea Anthes That is so true! They are so inspiring!
Lea Anthes so true they are really brave
Brave and it will help others. It helped me.
It made my cryyy , my grandma became an orphan at age of 6, her mom died when giving her birth and her dad left her and I just respect her so much and I hope that when I grow up I can make her happy , and I think that for Eugene knowing that about his father was a big hit
You can tell, especially near they end when they hugged, that Eugene was fighting back tears so hard
God....when Eugene said "love you Dad" and his dad said "Eugene I love you more"
I lost it and cried
yep exactly. still wiping them away. wheew!
What time stamp
@@echle4675 12:10
Eugene: [about his grandmother] why did she leave you?
His dad: I have no idea.
my heart just broke
Francisca Hale I cried for years in Spanish
I actually started crying at that moment
He said, "I don't know why."
Super Hijabi ARMY
that hit me so hard... at least Eugene now kinda understands his dad a lot more
for the first time Eugene wanted something NOT to be a contest. awww
Only because he lost that contest
*and he still wins*
After watching the Fatherhood series, I now understand Eugene a whole lot more.
Eugene and his dad are similar in their upbringing and on an emotional level...I can see why Eugene is more closed off now...I think in this video he saw himself in his dad too...which is why he told his dad he should have not gone thru it alone and talked about his parental struggles earlier...and then the hug at the end...eugene hates hugs but you can see he really loves his dad and his dad saying "I love you more" and stuff after the last video when they said they didn't say "I love you" often...I'm sorry I'm kinda ranting now but this video honestly just had me in tears especially when most of eugene's dad's moments made me uncomfortable to watch but so relatable as well since I never had a good relationship with my dad either :(
greeneyes❤ IM CRYING EVEN MORE THAN I ALREADY WAS BC OF THIS
"Don't feel sorry, that's life."
Dang this kinda hits me tbh
Eugene:why did she left you?
Dad:I have no idea
I`m not crying you are
*why did she leave you*
*i don't know*
Do it !! 😒
@@isabelle4478?
Do it !! Mmmmmm nvm
You're right I am crying😭
"I love you dad"
"Eugene I love you more"
"I love you most"
"I love you more than you”
“This is not a contest Dad."
So that's where he secretly gets it from. 😂
Tangled
Dani Setsuko bruh right when i scrolled to this comment that part of the video cam
When? I can't find it.
Kyakeku 12:11
Ur mom is not so local Thx!
Eugene and his father talking and seeing Eugene trying to hold back tears with anger and finding out the truth and finally getting the closure he needed really got to me
angel Cuevas IKR
Wish Ned took his dad’s advice.
It’s sad really, Ned’s dad looks like a sweet and caring father. I too wished he had taken his father’s advice 😓
What I would not give to see Ned's father kicking his butt for being a screw up.
so glad i’m not the only one who thought this
His dad seems so wise and kind. I wish Ned would've just listened or even talked to his dad before cheating on Ariel. I have a feeling his dad would've helped him work through whatever pushed him to cheat.
his father now is kinda ashamed of him
Eugene and his dad are connecting on a level that Eugene definitely needed to experience.
amaya lobato It's a weird idea that we are all just watching something like that. This is a special moment in both their lives and we get to goddamn see that. (And cry along) That's so special!
amaya lobato yes! I thought the same thing. It's like you could feel and see how important that moment was for him.
Asian family's and many foreign family have a hard time saying "I love you." But that's all we need a hug and "I love you".
I'm Asian, from Japan. Allow us not hugging and not saying I love you to our parents. Because our culture associates hugging or saying I love you with more sexual context than that in Western world. Actually I sometimes argue about the difference of hugging culture with my colleagues from Europe. They recommend me to hug with my parents, but I just don't feel like doing that. It's unnatural to copy Western behavior in my private scene where we don't have the culture.
we never do it but i think its just a matter of the family in the place i live
I'm in an Asian family All those slippers and rice ;~;
My parents never say I love you or hug me
im jazz I agree with that, in my family it’s always hard to say an “I love you” because we know it means something and when we say it, there’s also awkwardness. We always use alternatives and say things like “Te quiero mucho.” Which translates to “I like you a lot.” So it’s never quite an “I love you” and even in non-foreign families, it can also be difficult.
Eugene's father is the strongest man, been through hell and back. So much respect.
*I AGREE*
Yeah made me tear up seing that jays father had parental issues aswell
princess consuela yes it is so amazing. He is so rite about the past being the past
Much respect.
All Koreans have..
Eugene and his dad made me tear up, but I think the part when my tears really kicked into gear was when Zach was thanking his dad and mom for supporting him through his depression.
I'm so happy for him and jealous at the same time because my mom died before she could help me with my depression, and my dad refuses to acknowledge it at all.
You can tell straight after this video Eugene started crying
Sujina Suthakaran i
EUGENE BABY
*"Are you crying?"*
*"No, are you crying?"*
Eugene and Jae are connecting so much in this series.
I think of all the father son interactions, Eugene and his dad was the most impactful. You could see the anger he was holding onto melt away and he really got know and respect his dad. I'm legit in tears right now over that.
Awwwww c:
Angerona I cried too
I really felt touched on the part when he said “I know when I was a teen I yelled at you and mom a lot “ and that hit different because its hard to explain how you feel as a teenager and you just want to be understood parents are the best gift you could ever get and they’ll always be there for you and put up with you and love you no matter what 😢
"Don't be afraid to draw blood" "I never said that" 😂😂😂
*hi*
Ashley Rodriguez Hi
Eugene's dad has the most heart breaking life I had ever heard. Sorry, there is a ghost cutting some onions next to my face
Some ghostly onions
I sadly understand Eugene like my dads parents died when he was 8 and 10 and though he had rough times I could not ask for a better dad
Its namjoon cutting onions again
It's really not the saddest, but it is sad
@@lilystic9623 agreed
Eugene took this deep... he was basically the only one not having much fun with his dad, like they..didn’t know each other...
I think they both grew with this experience. They learned, especially Eugene, about each other and the history between them. It's not the same with the other Try Guys and their relationship with their dads. I feel like we got to go to go through this experience with Eugene and learn something really personal.
Most Korean parents as well as Hispanic
Are very old school
They don’t open up much
Or when they do it’s rare ... it’s the way they are raised.
My father was taught that crying and opening up is weakness and pathetic
My mom as well 🤷🏻♀️
Now as a mother I show my daughter so much love and kiss her and squeeze her cheeks and give her so many bear hugs
Something that if my parents do to me it feels uncomfortable even if we give each other hugs now
@@mokiiaanramirez1006 Same as brown parents but my dad and mom were never taught that crying and opening up is pathetic. They just.. dont open up lol
@@mokiiaanramirez1006 A lot of older generation white parents are the same way. I'm 24 , but my father is 61, so he is from a much different time than most of my peers' fathers. It was always different for me growing up, hearing friends and schoolmates recall things there dads had done or said that seemed very foreign to me. Crying was the biggest thing for me growing up, because I remember him always treating it like a bad thing, even with my mother. I remember he would tell her to leave the room any time she got too upset because he didn't want to be around it, so I just learned to preemtively hide it any time I did. He was even more rough on my brother, ten years my senior, when he was growing up, borderline abusive, but I got the older, more mellowed version of my dad. He was always a bit cold with me, emotionally, but I did always know he loved me, because he worked so hard to provide for us. My biggest fear was always being a disappointment to him, so much so that I hid the fact that I started smoking cigarettes at 14 all the way up til a year ago, lmfao. I was 23 years old, frantically giving my fiance my lit cigarettes any time my dad came around, or tossing them so he wouldn't see me with one. 😆😆
I have a daughter of my own now, though, and I love seeing him interact with her. It's the most wholesome and beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. She really opens him up, in a way I don't remember very well. I know he acted similar with me when I was a baby/toddler/small child, always doting on me, but by the time I gained cognitive, long term memory, his behavior had hardened.
But anyway, I've ranted far too long, lol. Sorry about that!
Actually their relationship is quite sweet towards the end of the series. You can see that they actually said i love you to each other and they meant it not just for the video.
I'm just so proud of Eugene for really talking with his father.
And can we just take a moment to see how similar are Ned's and Keith's dads to their sons...
It was seeing the red flags Ned may have learned from his dad, and Keith having a better example and being the superior husband.
I mean, "We broke up and dated other people... It wasn't the same."
@@antithoughtpolice7497 in my opinion i don't think we should blame Ned's father for what he did to Ariel because Ned's father actually loves his wife and he didn't cheat on her like Ned and Ned could of learned that cheating behavior when he was a frat boy in collage
Eugene: So you use Gillette?
Jae: Tom Brady
Eugene: Sure
Do you think he thought Eugene was asking about Giselle the model? She's married to Tom Brady
@@nicky740 Both Tom Brady and the Patriots have partnerships with the brand Gillette. It's the name of the team's stadium

I died. He reminds me so much of my grandpa
Riley Swenson sameeeee I’m from Boston
Eugene's Dad wow! What a guy, takes it all by himself and all inside him. A locked safe of traumatic events, but still so strong! And gotta mention Zach's depression and his father's compassion, pure father's love nothing else.
true
Ömer Faruk BATAN a
Loved his dad
i love you dad, eugene i love you more, i love you most, something something, its not a contest dad.
lol
My best friend is exactly like that...she has so much family issues, I can't believe what she goes through, and I was starting to get suspicious at one point, until I called her over the phone and...heard stuff...
Eugenes dad: “you crying”
*tear rolls down Eugene’s face*
Eugene: “no not crying”
Kate Brown so cute ❤️ 😢
Me with my dad
Ikr
When Zach apologized to his dad I started crying.
This video is so heartfelt and all the boys shared so much with their dads and they weren't acting. They were just spending time with one of the most important people in their lives.
"Even though you don't have a dad, I have a good dad."-Eugene.
we will see new Eugene , these videos are like having a therapy
legit made me cry
*cries*
Eugene talking to his dad was extremely heartbreaking, but what made me finally tear up was when Zach was talking to his father about his depression... for some reason when his voice broke a couple times I just started sobbing.
Same but sucks buzzfed posted it for an ad
Me too
Eugene's dad competing over who loves each other most explains so much about Eugene's character.
I wonder if having two kids did stress their relationship like he feared, but cheating is never ever ever the answer Ned, he really should’ve known better and learned to communicate stronger
That’s 100%!! What I was thinking as well
more like he was a failure as a father and partner since the beginning
If he feared it than that was on him, not the relationship itself. Those are his own insecurities being a husband and dad. If he wasn't ready and scared of having a family then he shouldn't have had one.
@@lilymae7516 Until intense therapy, yeah don't do relationships
Cheating usually has nothing to do with the person being cheated on. It is usually a repeated, pathologized behavior and based on a podcast episode where Ariel basically implied that SHE was the one that Ned cheated with, at one point. The ex who was cheated on somehow got invited to their wedding (!!!) and Ariel had to set a hard boundary about it. Obviously she didn't say all that but it could be easily extrapolated from what she DID say.
Remember this: if your relationship with someone is the result of cheating, just know that they rarely ever stop.
sometimes Asian parents are like distant, but they want to be able to provide everything for their children, so I kinda relate to Eugene
Same bro✌️😐
Same... No... They're actually not allowed to take care of me. 😂😅😢
It’s doubled if they’re immigrants since they have to work twice as hard to get to the same place as native born people
Same here
Me too my father and mother always try’s to spend time with me but it’s not like the amount I might need but we spend good times together but my father was away for two years because of well……war
Eugene's dad when he whispered "I don't know why" at 6:50, oh man that was heartbreaking
LittleFilms I'm crying; I'm balling my eyes out. Because; I know what it's like, and I know how he feels, and how said it, broke me more than I already am, shattered 😭😭
Ashton Weir i know that uegen's father cameback but i also know what its like to not have a dad i mean i am still waiting i met him one day and that was it.
+Ashton Weir
I know right same here! You can really hear the weight and emotional impact that question had on Eugene's dad, as if all the years of questioning the choices of his mother and the decisions, responsibilities and burdens he had to endure were all exposed in that single answer ... " I don't know why"
LittleFilms I cried. Damn Eugenie's dad had a tough life. Learning stuff like that really helps you understand your parents.
LittleFilms I
Eugene's dad is a mindblower. His dad died when he was a toddler, his mom left when he was in high school (I'm guessing financial reason as a single mother) but ended up studying so much that he ended up going to med school in texas (all scholarship probably) in a whole new country speaking non native language. And when he was having trouble conceiving kids he tried to adopt. But then he divorced with his wife and he decided to take custody. Wow. It should be a movie.
he was 3 months not a toddler and his wife left her children and they ended up with him
Iris Park a LOT of older people IN korea went through these kinds of lives and thanks to them, korea has become an amazing country
Iris Park it may also have been that given the time period , Eugenes' paternal grandma left her kids not bc of financial reasons but if she remarried she may have chosen to leave her kids with her mom and pretty much "forget" she ever had children and began her new life with a new husband and possibly they too started a whole new family. It sounds so far fetched but from my experience with Asian cultures, it does happen.
It does indeed. While sad to say, single father/mother leaving their children with grandparents "to find a better life" and ended up forgetting about them altogether is wayy to common in asia.
It should.
"i was an idiot" "i needed to date other people" i wish ned learned that before getting married
I feel like eugene has always had some sort of anger towards his dad because of things he did & didn't do & in this video I think that eugene finally got to understand the reasons for his dad's actions & this is a huge step forward for their relationship. I really hope their relationship gets stronger from here on out.
I love billboard singer Eugene and his dad's relationship is common among asian countries.
I love billboard singer p
How does Eugene not have a boyfriend?!
I love billboard singer I agree completely. It's nice that he and his dad were open and willing to break whatever was holding apart. I hope they're much closer from now on. I just feel like they both really needed this.
I hope so too suga
Eugene's dad seems like he's got plenty of stories to share. He doesn't talk much but he has LIVED
elHEARTBREAKER I think with age and wisdom comes the realization that you don’t always have to say everything that comes in your head.
Eugene's dad went through some hard stuff. He actually struggled and he tried to give Eugene a better life, and he did. I'm really happy that this series happened! You could tell that they became closer.
Emily Ash that's so true... I actually started crying at the end when Eugene and his dad hugged
Exactly. It made me really emotional to see such growth and everything.
I wonder how Ned’s dad felt when he found out about what Ned did.
I think this whole Fatherhood segment has really brought the father and son relationship so much closer, mainly through Eugene and his dad
I was crying seeing Eugene like it makes me weak like I started crying. His dad kept so many secrets from him throughout his whole childhood and I guess that's why I Eugene acts the way he does now but it was only to make Eugene stronger.
I agree, Eugene is definitely a depiction of his father and I'm glad they're able to bond throughout this experience.
I cried when they hugged
Jae: Are you crying?
Eugene: No
Me: ... yes
leeah galaxies same
leeah galaxies i started crying that's for sure
leeah galaxies samee
leeah galaxies that's so me

Y'all are all talking about Eugene and his dad, but the moment Ned's dad reassures him about parenthood makes me cry
But he's fucked up, with you, I meant Alex. You have the same name
@@doraluffy What??
@@SP-ph5ws I think they meant that Ned fucked up bc he cheated on his wife, and the alleged mistress is someone named Alex, another employee from the Try Guys.
@@mitochondriaisthepowerhous9939 which is not an appropriate reply to my comment- (not yours, theirs)
@@SP-ph5ws I just want to make a joke because your name is also Alex, I'm sorry 😢
I understand about the "Korean culture" that Eugene was talking about. Even his dad said he want proud about it so he didn't talk but as an Asian, I know that's our culture. Dad in Asian has a big strong imagine. They don't want to show the sad moment or the failure. They are the biggest one in the family. They are in charge of providing for the whole family (no government fund). They need to be strong like steel. They don't say sorry, or love you or hug much. You can see it in Eugene sence with his dad.
We dont know much about our dads or have fun with our dads like people in the West so you guys should feel happy if you has a deep happy relationship with your dad.
Yup.. asian dad's don't show much of their emotion... Sometimes I think that my dad doesn't even love me. But I know that one day I'd fully understand what he's going through.
Eugene's dad's story was so emotional 😭
It was funny when Eugene said "it's not a contest dad"
Asian dad's😂😂
I have so much respect for Eugene’s dad and I’ve never even met him.
yeah me too
Jordyn Vetter I think we all do.
yeah me too i also feel a little bad for him it
6:00 the music plz ???
I think that all of the guys relly got to know there dad's better it made me me cry though it's just soooooo loving and I thought it was amazing of all of them to talk and forgive and apologize for things they did they told them thigs they wanted to do it was just amazing 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
“Even though you didnt have a dad, I have a good dad” That sentence still gets to me after almost a year

the part that gets me every time is at 12:30 . eugene’s face when he says “well, even though you didn’t have a dad I have a good dad”. so wholesome.

I'm so proud of Eugene and his dad for being vulnerable and telling each other I love you. They talked about so much and it looks like they bonded a lot in that moment
I love the way Keith and his Dad are just like two best friends.
It's Daddys favorite
He looks like bill gates
Daddy’s favorite
no one asks , but i'm your 699th like 👀👄👀
we have found the two pretty best friends.
Eugene needs to go somewhere with his dad and just talk. The love is there but they don't seem to know each other
I see so much of my relationship with my dad (even if I'm a woman) in theirs... it's insane... and makes it even more emotional...
phatcami I am glad he and his dad are working on their relationship
I dont know why but yeah I think this is an asian thing because I also have a hard time knowing my mom (i was raised by a single mom and she was just recently married)
Well. I was in the same situation when I was like 11. Then there is puberty, in wich I am still, that was just an horrible time for our relationship expecially before I came out as gay.
Then I came out like three days ago and I feel like our bond is getting stronger. I love him much more now.
It's just an Asian thing, both India and china and those places. Kids and parents simply don't talk the same way as in Europe and the west. Sometimes I experience the same thing, even if I am an American born Indian. It's just a way of life. Not great but that's how it is.
Eugene: are you going to fall asleep?
Eugene’s dad: I’m trying....
The savagery is just to much for me

It's interesting how Eugene and his dad's life kind of mirror each other as far as being/feeling abandoned. It made me sad that Eugene's dad seemed to feel shame that his parents weren't there, as if it was his fault. I think they both needed this talk. I hope they continue it. It makes me think about reaching out to my dad. We're not close either.
I really think that you should reach out to your dad, because it could be a significant "what if" if you never do it. But do it only when and if you're ready to do so. I'm rooting for you. :)
Shara It's better to try than to have never tried at all. It'll be ok. I'm rooting for you too!
My dad died when I was 6. I will never get the chance to have a relationship with him. You should reach out to your father before you're in the same boat as me.
Shara It's so interesting how these family cycles play out, so obvious from the outside and yet they so often go unnoticed. Their mothers both left at these critical times. It's tragic, but it's also a great place for them to start to build a bond based on empathy. I hope they do.
I feel like Eugene is going to be a whole new person after this ..
Zainab Ali i wished eugene and his dad had more bonding time after this 💗

I really hope so 🙏❤
I can see that too

Eugene's dad backstory:
6:38-6:48 hits you like a punch to the gut. You feel the weight of it, but 6:49-6:53 just hits you like a freaking truck. Your feelings have nowhere to hide.

Eugene: "No, are you crying?"
Me: Yes...
Literally me. I'm in floods right now 😭😭
I feel like these vids are helping Eugene and Jae a lot
Isabella Adams I'm so glad they were finally able to talk a lot of things out... I feel like Eugene isn't as frustrated anymore with his dad because of what he learned in this video... it seems like he understands now

Isabella Adams XD I DIDN'T NO EUGENES DAD'S NAME UNTIL NOW XDDDDDDD (oh and sorry if I was rude:(
yeah it’s so sweet but so sad
@@BitterClue You dont know how to spell the word "know" untit now.
As soon as Eugenes dad said “Eugene,I love you more.” I cried so damn hard. Physical eye sweat.
Classic Elke yes totally not tears, it’s sweat
oh my gosh Eugene is so sweet and is trying his best not to cry but he's already dying inside knowing that him is his dad went through almost the same situation about their parents. and i am happy that they were able to open up to each other that easily, it's like they're both just waiting for one of them to start the conversation. i don't have this moment yet with my parents and i hope to have it one day ♥
**the try guys corner their dads into therapy with razor blades*
human damn
Basically
I'm crying in two different ways, because of this video and your comment!
True
I laughed so hard at this that I snorted and scared my cat
(Sorry kitty?)
It's so bizarre watching Ned and his dad. I can only see Ned and older Ned. It's very weird.
passerell omg lol YES
And Wes is just baby Ned
Their voices are the same or almost
wes is looking more like ned too
They so very alike
All fathers were so genuine in this video especially Eugene's father, God bless them and I hope their relationship with their sons continue to prosper.
Tierra Richardson I agree.
Eugene's dad went through so much. I'm glad he has lived long enough for him and Eugene to have these conversations. Not everyone gets that chance.
