The end of this heartwarming coming out video hilariously shows where one Korean mum draws the line
Over on TikTok, Oregon man @thekoreaneddie also runs an account dedicated to his mum, The Korean Mama – @thekoreanmama – which has amassed more than half a million followers due to her upbeat and endearing attitude to life and food.
Last month, he shared this clip of her response to him suggesting he might marry a man. It went beautifully – apart from when he slipped in an extra question at the end.
@thekoreanmama I know it's a little late for national coming out day but for those struggling to come out, there's no guarantee it'll go smoothly but sometimes parents will surprise you. I came out to mom when I was in my early 20s and I really had no idea my super Korean mom felt this way. #lgbt #comingout ♬ original sound – The Korean Mama
What if I got married, but it was to a man?
So what? It’s more about finding a partner to live this life with.
If that’s their definition of happiness, who’s anyone to interfere?But what if I got a tattoo?
No. Unacceptable!
We have a sneaking suspicion that she’d be totally fine with him getting a tattoo …as long as it says ‘Mom’ in a heart.
Let’s see how TikTok users reacted.
Her face when you mentioned the tattoo.
