12 : 27 우리는 누구나 원하지 않는 질병에 걸려. 질병은 도덕적인 문제가 아니고 자기를 보살피라는 신호니까 너는 모든 병 가진 이가 그러하듯 슬픔 속에서도 삶을 지켜야 해. 우와아아아!! 감사합니다!! 라고 댓글을 남겼다가 조금더 남깁니다 어떤 말이 제일 좋을지 모르겠어서 제가 대학교수님께 들었던 말을 남깁니다. 영상에도 담겨있지만 해주셨던 원문 그대로를 썼습니다. 받아드려지기 어려운 주제의 영상인데 많은 응원의 댓글들을 보았습니다. 정말 감사합니다. 많은 말들을 금손으로 편집해주시고 좋은 인터뷰 해주셔서 감사합니다. 몸도 마음도 항상 건강하세요

He is a brave man. Being more open about HIV and being gay actually reduces transmission rates. It also increases survival time for people living with HIV. My doctor believes there will be a cure in 5 years. I don't know if she's right about the timeline but I think she may be close. It's not unusual for people to live for decades with HIV is they find the right medicine and are adherent.

But let's hope for the best.

[@yoselingomez7071]

Maria Taiga but you can’t expect them to be as open to it as you do. You think it’s wrong that they’re like that because you’ve grown up with an environment open to LGBTQ and Sex Ed in school. In SK they’re still soo conservative on topics such as these. You can’t expect them to change just because you think it’s wrong. They’re society is different to yours.

[@thatmeii1320]

@@yoselingomez7071 I don't expect them to change overnight. The things I wrote are things, that are needed. I know how conservative SK is, how hard it would be for them to change. And it is not necessarily wrong, it's just a old stereotype. I don't expect then to be as open as I am, but they could try - and not only them. And about the place I live in - I grew up in middle Europe, and trust me, people are not really accepting, they are pretty much the opposite. So I know how ugly can things get. This is just my opinion. 100 people will always have 100 opinions, we should respect each other's.

[@TheSlaveOfAllah1992]

Korea is a backward country but gay men are over-represented when it comes to HIV

[@sunshine2788]

Simone koreans are really conservative so they don’t talk about sex you can see even in their shows holding hands is still considered a big deal

[@blank.9301]

@@sunshine2788 Because it's a highly Christian populated country too, 👍.

I truly admire him for doing this interview. He sounds so educated and seems like a really sweet person!. Your a brave young man!

[@ester1004]

3 years since this post and I hope he is doing well. I sincerely wish him all the best. He is such a lovely person. 🙏🏼

[@monageorge3431]

I will support him all the way, and I am very pleased that he spoke up about HIV-positive and being gay. He must keep on fighting for your life to live.

[@quacker390]

Awww bless him he seems like a good person.

[@joycebodman2851]

This makes me really sad. He should have friends and family there for him as support. He is very brave and strong. My thoughts and prayers are with him 🙏❤️

[@nicolekeane4895]

[@wating1568]

I am also diagnosed with HIV for 3-4years now. It's quite hard at first, but eventually It's pretty normal for me in my everyday living. I am just greatful that my family and friends accepts my situation. You just need to stay healthy and take ur medicines regularly. Fighting! 😊

[@Sh4ndr3]

This was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing his story with us Asianboss!.

[@akyazzie73]

Amazing keep up the curiosity factor. I lost my brother to AIDS related illness in 1993, education is important.

[@ivy-py4sh]

he has the sweetest smile

[@yashara8146]

he's so brave and courageous for doing this interview. He's such an inspiration to tons of people out there.

[@jiminisdivine8526]

He is so well spoken. I hope the best for this guy. Stay strong! 💓

[@sms5879]

Thank you Asian Boss for making these interviews to bring awareness! He is really strong for speaking on this.

[@kimchim2785]

His voice is so soothing 😭 and he speaks beautifully! The quote that somebody had told him at 12:20 was also so beautiful ❤️

[@astraeusgodofthestars676]

Bless his soul and brave heart 😢

[@walkerramsey9700]

Thank you for being brace enough to share this, it really does help us younger generation and educates other. I'm proud🙏🏻

[@werdiningrum2336]

I have falling in love with the interviewer. She know how to ask with polite way. Make someone feels comfortable for answer even in the sensitive question.

[@shayaflague3450]

He’s very courageous for coming out, especially in such a conservative country. I just want to hug him❤️

[@kookietae8583]

safe space do u have something better to do than reply to every comment supporting him ? lol bye

[@olay2212]

@Alfredo Gomez and thats on what? Period

[@yuritori2068]

He is very strong come out and saying all this, wish him the best !

[@tharaallie1889]

Bless this man it takes a lot of courage to talk about things like this especially in Korea I wish for him nothing but a life time of happiness and health 😭❤️

[@mikethapanat9285]

Even it’s long time ago, I still wanna hug him tightly.

[@jenniboo9441]

Wow he's amazing. He didn't have to put himself in the spotlight like this and his life would probably be easier but he felt like this was important enough to speak up about. He is so brave and he seems so nice. I hope he finds happiness

[@なるほど-d7o]

man, being a gay and hiv+ must've gone through a super rough shitstorm... much respect to this man to stand out and talk about it

[@RosesChloEe]

Wah, just the thing i searched on youtube few weeks ago.Asianboss really is doing great job.

[@suga235]

I want to hug him tight. I could already imagine how scared he felt. It is not easy coming out to the public, much less announcing you’re HIV positive. He is such a brave individual who deserves just as much happiness as the others.

[@Emily_Linka]

This was such a respectful and gentle interview on such an important topic. Thank you for showing the love and respect that this sweet and gentle man deserves.

[@BFswithGFs]

He’s so brave and good hearted for educating people through this video. Thanks to Asian boss too 🙏🏾

He’s so brave to come out and share his story I respect u❣️

[@bokuwatoki5983]

This was was beautiful. He is confident to speak up about this, especially in Korea.

[@Crazy_Humorous]

Wow, I applaud this young man for sharing his story. He might have encouraged others in the same position to seek help. I hope they start an organization to guide and protect people going through the same thing. Bravo!

[@vivianvegh590]

Thank you for being so strong to come and talk about something so sensitive. I really wish the world could change that we don’t find our illnesses as something that defines our identities, and labels is for scrutiny from others. Everyone deserves love no matter what.

[@The_Noblesse]

I love how open and honest he is about his situation

[@jakehoon69]

i don't know this man but i support him with every bone in my body.

[@bklyngirl913]

Ju Yong thank you for being brave enough to share and speak out. Hopefully your courage will inspire others to speak. I do think your new purpose is to educate. Clearly South Korea needs more HIV/AIDS education. May the ancestors continue to guide your steps through this new journey. **Asian Boss: if at all possible, I think it would be a good thing to interview someone who is heterosexual and HIV-positive. It may be very hard to find someone in South Korea who is willing. However there are so many that still only see this as a “gay disease”!

[@cc-nb8om]

He is an inspiration for all who suffer from HIV/AIDs, great interview and I hope he finds a companion because everyone deserves to be loved ( I am not gay but I have love ones who are and I love them dearly)

[@JMoonGem]

12:22 what a great message and a beautiful way to look at life. I will be sharing that with my clients, hoping it helps them to accept their circumstances better.

[@월앙-v4s]

This channel always corrects misconceptions I had about such topics.. Thanks for the interview and I wish you all the best.

[@KMonsta]

He’s so well spoken and I’m glad he’s doing this. I really hope for the best for him ❤️

[@lauricedjepeno3087]

I’ve been seeing a lot more things about HIV popping up on my KZbin and other social media sites I wonder if this is a sign telling me to be careful or is this just a topic that’s getting more popular

[@minyoongicheonjaejjangjjan1081]

Laurice djepeno both

[@breezybabe0019]

Go and get checked

[@josuebaxxie1]

People don't think HIV can happen to them and aren't careful making new cases increase when they should decrease. Use protection and if sexually active get tested every 6 months if not using protection every 3 months

[@user-fi9wx2vb9e]

Both! :D

[@shiro182]

It is a sign to be careful. I've noticed it too. I'm not trying to be ugly or rude but the new cases/coming out vids shocked me to think who catches HIV in 2019? I think the uptick for younger people 18-25 is because schools no longer scare the hell out of children like they did in the late 80s and 90s regarding safety.

[@darady3868]

Hats off to Ju Yong for doing this interview. Very inspiring.

[@marikeno]

As a young man living in a country that is fast paced yet old fashioned in some ways, he is the bravest Korean that I know. I have read so many articles and seen many videos on Koreans and their opinion on homosexuality and AIDS and it is saddening that many Koreans are not fully educated on these kinds of things and also not very accepting. I have been to Korea so many times and it is a beautiful country. I just hope that many of its citizens will open up and be more embracing to strong people like him.

[@jamesanear3141]

I wish him the best, he’s clearly a very kind and sensitive soul. People should never judge others because they have HIV, only support them. It is sad to think such a serious disease makes people blame themselves.

[@lilgoku461]

He's such a sweet guy! Keep up the good work Asian Boss

[@TheRubinre]

I like this kid. Very traumatic what he's been through. Nobody should have to hide who they are.

[@annaandhertypewriter4395]

I feel touched. He's honest, soft, intelligent, handsome and most importantly STRONG AND BRAVE! I truly respect and apperciate him. Lots of hugs for him! 🤗
