[@LisaPhan]

elliot: i don’t know much about this event also elliot: * stands on stage with idols * me: ...

[@rottweiler86271]

Lisa Phan I know ATEEZ HE WAS RIGHT THERE WITH ATEEZ!!!

[@KatieTracy]

“why do you guys say it like that? He’s not that cute” DEADDD😂

[@JENerationDIY]

Knowing it took you like 100 takes to get that outro makes this so much better

[@freyrofyonder7357]

Lol

[@ShanRizwan]

seriously these vlogs are so relaxing to watch 😌😌😌

[@heyjasminedanielle]

Shan Rizwan I agree!!🌟

[@IsmaelPh]

Omg I love both of your channels pls do a video together! :D

[@jardyfuentes9087]

Shan and elliot in 1 vlog please

[@SohamBhattacharya]

Being an Indian I can relate to the Korean culture, yep it's the same our moms cooks for us as home cooked foods are healthier, and we don't say I love you and all.

[@jas2800]

I’m Indian and I agree

[@marethyu5072]

Home cooked food is always the best hands down!

[@Mangesh18A]

Yup, No doubt about it!!

[@anamitrapal7235]

হ্যা সেটাই

[@flawed0007]

@GaslitWorld f. Melissa B Hindi is a language,Do you mean Indian??Also my parents don't worry about my future

[@Sourav-gr3ib]

Oh my gosh! I am just blown away by seeing how much your are dedicated for editing this videos for us. I am speechless. Even though, you are awake till 4AM, you are glowing. I can't even say how much I am loving your videos than I used to. Please please please keep on making the content for us. I am enthusiastically getting to know your life as well. Last but not the least, I LOVE YOU!!💜

[@CristyleinBadanguio]

i literally watched 1 video of you since i was just bored and since you were on my recommendation page and now i’m obsessed with watching your videos

[@ericvilla1]

As the Hispanic kid at a nearly all-white school, I hung out with a lot of Korean and Japanese kids growing up since I felt more included there. Always interesting hearing your perspective given that when I was eight, I wasn't exactly having insightful conversations about race with my friends. Great video, Elliot.

[@Theoneandonly88able]

You would be included if you were actually Asian. Asians dont really hang out with other ethnic groups often. Not being mean, but it's just apart of the culture.

[@GouravSingh]

Anyone : How much cinematics you want elliot? Elliot : *YES* !

[@curvesellip9953]

I like how the video is not just all about the title. I mean, there's so much awesome content under such a humble title.

[@colde7429]

u stand on stage with ateez i'm screaming

[@shellberman99]

"IF YOUR MOMMA PACKED YOU LUNCHABLES, YOUR MOMMA DON'T LOVE YOU" LOLLL i freaking love that Asian KZbinrs are friends. And representing for all us Asians out there!! My mom would pack me homemade food for lunch and other kids would make fun of me but guess who's putting turmeric all up in their "chai lattes" now LOL. Also get some sleep Elliot aww! You're so dedicated

[@MegaTefta]

Some kids would make me put my food away in elementary school because it smelled

[@manuelseda9197]

No one: Not a single soul: Elliot: are we getting food? 😂

[@nellywellyboo2383]

Being raised by Indian parents and having Indian roots makes me relate to this video! Asian parenting feels the same across the board! Great video! Also, you said you check your DMs, please check Instagram I had a somewhat important inquiry

[@daniel_jang]

your face at 7:40 puahaha

[@blazereho811]

I’m glad you realized that your parents love you and wanted what’s best for you. Growing up as a white American in New Orleans, my parents don’t tell me they love me, they’ve never pushed me to do my homework or play sports or make friends, and they’ve definitely never made me lunch. Now that I’m 20 I really wish I played an instrument or was involved in extra curriculars or school in general

[@Shawnngatiaa]

same as African parents, getting the word I LOVE YOU is such a hustle esp from Dads 😂😂😂😂

[@tronicbasez1814]

TEEN TALK I can relate to that😂

[@nintendoant88]

Yesssss

[@serenitylifestyle8663]

So true

[@viedinternaute8132]

As a 1st generation Haitian(afro caribbean)American with very sentimental parents I can't relate 😐

[@sandracheruto8823]

Yess

[@Heyday0848]

I'm not a Korean American but just a Korean, it's good to see you. I enjoy watching your vlog.

[@George-og5lu]

Wow! Thank u so much for sharing ! It really informed me a lot as an international student from Asia!

[@joi5504]

Geez thought I was first but some of y’all lightning speed

[@maureenshea4268]

I think Korean American kids are so lucky to have parents who motivate and support them. You are turning out pretty well. 😀😀

[@kizarumelon2477]

My motivation I hope you mean ass beatings cause that’s pretty much what it is. 😂 Don’t confuse is with white people motivation where it doesn’t work at all

[@kizarumelon2477]

[@tikichitiblue1270]

I supposed to sleep right after reading book but then ur vid came out. Just couldnt wait untill tmr to watch it 😅😅. So grateful that u r working so hard to make a new vid while so busy with ur fulltime job but I hope that u take good care of urself cause staying up until 4a.m is not good for ur health.

[@hyun6926]

One of the better vlogs in a while liked it v much

[@hatsat9354]

I like how ur changing the videos a bit

[@princessleai]

ahh, I know Jimmy & Joon. I went crazy when I saw your story, cause I recognized right away that you were at kcon^^ . . . EMILY!!!!!!! . . . I think it's sad for me. cause I have never been to kcon but I've been living vicariously through all my favorite youtubers^^ ONe day I'll go:)

[@rizalfathurrahman7760]

it's kind of my healthy channel. I'm supporting all of your videos. I'd love to meet you soon, please come to indonesiaaa✊🇮🇩

[@ebonybright9587]

I watched both full ads to help you out !!! 👍💯

[@elis.5450]

Being an Asian American is pretty difficult for me mostly because of racism and I am the only asian in my whole school(pre k through high school) and It is hard to live an american culture.

[@9niverse]

Elliot is Korean???? My mind is literally blown... I always thought he was Chinese haha

[@jachris1916]

I thought he was Vietnamese

[@angelinan1842]

Janet Diaz Sameee, he kinda looks viet but the last name threw me off

[@bachkjmhi5849]

mvnst me too

[@salvadorkim9211]

Isn't he Chinese? This guy looks 100% Chinese . Wide nose and lip is thick comparing with typical Korean look

[@quynhlekieunhu1409]

The first time I watched his video I thought he was Vietnamese because he looked really alike

[@janellasanjuann]

this is so pure

[@gamerdude4003]

Just the fact that I saw the behind the scene of this outro makes it 100% better💪 keep on grinding elliot🍌🍌

[@ldbtech3849]

Algerian came lately to the state with my family of course. Mother cook for us healthier food and sit around table discussing sometimes mostly we discuss about tech and books...etc. and never say I love u .

[@HueyPPLong]

North African/Berber history and people are so cool and interesting. God bless!

[@maria231_]

Like Elliot, I'm finding your very cool videos since I started watching, and you think that this style of video, you do not show only your life, but from other people from different schools or universities, different nationalities ... even more with this quality !!

[@tanhung5251]

OMG this station has always been in my mind, I saw it on movies hundred of times. Wish to be there one day..Love from ASIA

[@michaellee8488]

u and jimmy meeting up honestly made my day

[@tips7667]

I knew it! At first glance I knew you must be Korean... or related to Korean whatever.. I think I really possess a nice sense of distinguishing Asian people

[@anthonychung8348]

Met jimmy and joon. bruh!

[@birdapp]

all your content is so relatable 💯

[@lizlizzy2755]

Hey Elliot, you haver tô show Joon's mim the parte of this vídeo where hey shares about packing lunch. It's gonna make her day. :) ;)

[@fuquplz9983]

Anyone else just like videos without watching them?

[@fergior2]

I was seriously thinking about how Elliot is in New York and KCON is in New York so like this had to happen 👏🏼😛

[@janvan8140]

Hey Elliot, I'm an Asian too. I am Filipino American. Proud to be Asian American.

My Asian upbringing was tough as well. I do thank my mother now for the comfortable income from hard work through the years.

[@thischeeseburger]

That lunch comment has so much truth to it

[@hanaday8001]

actions speak older than words our asian parents show love just in a different way

[@danielvictorazeredo9841]

Hey, Elliot, I'm Brazilian and I Love your Videos, Edit and all about your channel, but in some moments is complicated to understand what you guys talking about. There are some Channels like yours that have subtitles and I think if you have subtitles in some videos you can expand your public. This is just a Tip, but i'll Appreciate if you do them! Nice Job, Bro! God Look in this new life! Hugs from Brazil!

[@samerahussain6399]

Oh my godddd Ateez i love them so much. Seriously everyone loves kpop and kdramas. Even i am a south asian its hard being asian. Love your vlogs. love from uk.

[@phuongpham-yh1so]

U are super cool and also cute at the same time! Love to watch your videos!!

[@michelle-hu9qf]

so i neglected watching your videos for an entire summer but now i'm binging every video u have so uh have fun reading all these comments LOL

[@kikirachma8343]

I hope can see u in real time next time and take photos with u elliot

[@ls_1284]

interestingly, as a German I can actually relate to your experiences. My mom also made my sister and I practice piano every single day (even though at one point we both hated it, but now as an adult I am so glad she forced us because now I am really happy that I can actually play it). And we also never really say "I love you" to each other in our family. Just the lunch experience for me was a little bit different than yours - we always ate at school, but in Germany the school lunches are actually cheap and healthy (and tasty for the most part). But yeah, apart from that, our mom always cooked at home and we did not eat out much.

[@rumounicampusp4209]

In Brazil people say all love you all the time. So yeah, "I love you" doesn't mean anything sometimes ;-;

[@l75rd83]

my friend is Asian and I can tell you he is smart, he's a good guy, he's in my physics and computing science class.

[@aayatkhan7030]

This is a great video!

[@cathykang4127]

You should do more collabs with other Asian-Americans! :)

[@mangowolf5]

growing up as an Asian Australian is very isolating cos it's weird interacting with outside groups

[@LuhanPark]

My dream man! Elliot is soo dreamy!

[@ryankbr]

elliot choy, jimmy zhang, joon lee in one PLACE? no wonder all the youtubers are in the comments 😳

I saw you at KCON recording around the con! Didn't get to say hi though, you looked pretty busy lol

[@flora1624]

Can you do a whole video about the question « growing up asian american », because i’m interested in the answer. (Sorry for my bad english)

[@tefophatlane]

When elliot said he watches Wong fu I can't tell you how happy I was.

[@andrewellis8621]

Ur vlogs are awesome

[@jeffharper6259]

Alex as a fan and subscriber I don't wish to belittle or take away from your heart-felt confession about not hearing the words "I love you" from your parents, that being said, you do not have to be Asian to experience this phenomenon. I am 60 and half-Sicilian and in the same boat as you :( Also, I have many Asian friends at my work and what you say in this video, seems to be a common theme among Asian people (again I mean no offense, I am just making an observation). Please keep making great content, I find you particularly interesting.

[@whaleyen]

was that Daniel Jang? The one who plays violin? Im a fan of his. Omg

[@anoushkamukherjee7116]

As an Indian, I can relate to you a lot, most Asian parents just have a different way of expressing their love for their children. They scold us only because they care for us and want us to be the best version of ourselves. Getting up early in the morning before us and packing our school lunch is just one of the indirect ways in which they express their love for their children. To any fellow Asian reading this, I'll suggest you not to grumble on every aspect and embrace your culture. Also, never think that your mom and dad are scolding you because they think that you're a failure, it's just the other way round..... sometimes we do tend to misunderstand them and judge them on the basis of their actions. And remember, when you're feeling down, it's always your parents who will try to help you out first, so never misunderstand them. Have a good day:)
