“My Mom Doesn’t Like Me, I Hope Dad Calls Me Affectionately”: The Heartbreaking Viral Video of the South Korean Boy Crying Because His Parents Don’t Pay Attention to Him

“I don’t think he likes me.” That’s what a child thinks of his mother. When he says it, the baby puts his hands over his eyes. “Give me a moment.” He asks the woman who questions him. Without a doubt, tears flood him.

That child is the main character of a moving video that makes many cry. And how not, if it provokes you to embrace and hug him? He asks, in his innocence, for more attention from his parents.

The daily life of this South Korean family is also shown in fragments and the parents make love with their second child, a baby, in their arms. While the eldest is admitted alone in his room full of cars and other toys. But only.

Who is the depressed South Korean boy?

The child is identified as Geum Ji Eun and appears in “one of the episodes of the program My Golden Kids, on the South Korean media Channel A,” El Tiempo notes.

It is, they explain, “a television room dedicated to families who have problems raising their children.”

This is the difficult conversation with the child

– Who do you like the most?

– I do not know. I’m home alone. Nobody plays with me.

– And what about your father?

– It’s scary when he gets angry.

– What do you want from your father?

– I hope you call me loving. I hope you call me sweet.

– And what about your mother?

– I don’t think he likes me.

With the answer the boy breaks down. And anyone who sees the video is shocked. The conclusion he draws at a young age is devastating.

– Have you talked to your mother about it yet?

– She never listens to me. I would like my mother to play with me.

In the TV room they show scenes of the child in a playground, with his mother and his brother.

Geum tells his mother that he won’t play for a long time because he is scared.

The treatment of the parent is not the best. She tells him to play that she is going to change the other child’s diaper.

–Mom, you should just go and come back.

The fear of being left alone affects him. The child is just trying to get his mother to accompany him, watch him play and play with him.

Another heartbreaking moment is when Geum seeks recognition from her mother for putting all the toys as the game requires and not being able to find her.

The child cries, looks for her and when he sees that she does not appear, he starts to scream. The program’s experts are also shocked: “He just wants to play with mom,” they agree.

Detachment

In El Tiempo they point out that episode 169 “basically presents the minor as a problematic being when he attacks his grandmother. “What is the reason for his behavior?” That motivated the parents to ask for help.

The clear distance that parents have with Geum was analyzed by the experts of the program. In this family, in that house, we don’t have to think about it too much, there is a lack of love.

When parents see and hear their son, they sometimes shed tears.
