Heartbreaking revelations from a Korean boy about his parents have touched the hearts of netizens
GEUM JI EUN – A TikTok video featuring a sincere confession from a four-year-old Korean boy longing for more connection with his parents has gained widespread attention.
The footage, seemingly from the Korean reality show “My Golden Child,” captures Geum Ji Eun expressing feelings of loneliness and a desire for more interaction with his parents. When asked who he likes more between his dad and mom, he answered, “I don’t know, I am alone at home. No one plays with me.”
Geum Ji Eun candidly shared his thoughts about his father, mentioning that he finds him “scary when he’s mad” and expressing a wish for more pleasant communication. “I wish he can talk to me nicely,” said the young boy.
He also felt his mother showed favoritism, leading to him holding back tears in the video. When asked if he had conveyed his feelings to his mother, he noted her lack of responsiveness and expressed a desire for more playtime.
The video elicited both sympathy and concern from viewers, with some criticizing the parents for causing the boy emotional distress. “This is so hurtful, he doesn’t deserve that pain,” a netizen commented. Another netizen wrote, “You can tell he’s not allowed to cry by his parents, that’s why he suppressed his feelings and held his tears so well.”

Meanwhile, some short videos on TikTok from the show have come out, and they show the parents spending happy time with the little boy. Some people are really hoping that things are getting better for the family, while others are worried that it might just be for show to avoid getting criticized.
The situation highlighted the challenges of balancing work and family life in the modern era and underscored the critical role parents play in shaping a child’s memories, sense of security, and happiness. “My Golden Kids” is a reality show offering parenting tips and guidance to assist struggling parents.
