FT = ForbiddenTome — tap to see Korean slang explained

Born in '74. My middle school field trip cost 15,000 won. After my father abandoned us, my mother—carrying five kids and poverty—went to the village chief to borrow money for my field trip. "If you can't afford it, just don't send him. Why do what everyone else does?" she said, but Mom endured all kinds of ridicule and somehow scraped together that 15,000 won. That night, she cried alone by the storage jars. Years passed, and now in my 50s raising my own kids, I'm finally starting to understand my mother's heart. I'm finally realizing that for my mother, pride was a luxury she couldn't afford. On field trip day, I didn't go. I wandered around the mountains and fields without turning in the money, and when I came home that evening, I made an excuse: "Mom, I get motion sickness, I don't think I can go. The teacher said he'd refund the money." But Mom knew. That autumn night, she cried alone by the storage jars again, so sorrowfully. Is that what love is? Is that what being a child is? Even after giving everything, not being able to give more—is that what parents do, hitting their chests and swallowing tears? Today especially, I miss my mother. Mom, are you doing well there? I miss you every single day. At this age, every time I watch something like this, I long for you. I made money, hated being poor, worked myself to death as an excuse—and couldn't even hold those rough hands warmly once. My heart aches. In the next life, come back as my mom. Then I'll tell you with all my heart that I love you. I miss you, I long for you. I still haven't deleted my mom's phone number even though the owner changed. When I'm old and leaving this world, come meet me. I'm going to bring a plate of mackerel sashimi—Mom's favorite.

I was just scrolling through Shorts in bed, clicking on comments without thinking, and this 50-year-old guy had been watching some drama Shorts and left a comment lol

Kids, I get it—the dating scene is crazy these days, and yeah, the country's a mess.
But if you live long enough, you'll meet good 40-50 year old guys, and some women will understand the struggles of guys in their 20s-30s too.
Let's be aware of the dark stuff, but focus on the good things and live well "where" we look at matters, right?
What real hate could possibly exist before "Please come as my mom in the next life"?
How would division even take hold?
We're all sons and daughters who miss our moms,
We're all children of aging mothers.

The "nono" trend is back again!

Mom ㅠㅠㅠ I miss you ㅠㅠㅠ
Real comment right there
That T guy has zero social skills
Sick of T making excuses
T's such an idiot
Moron T hiding behind that mask, don't say what you wanna say
You guys just need to point out if T's wrong instead of attacking
People making bullshit excuses about T are ridiculous lol
My late grandma's number is still in my phone, I just left it there...
I save voice recordings of calls with my parents
Encountering hate speech even here—no wonder this place is advanced
This guy can't have a real conversation
Everyone knows the common truth here
IRL we're all normal and respectful, but online everyone gangs up, stirs trouble, and talks trash for that dopamine hit
Sometimes I see older folks leaving comments like this on YouTube, and there's something about the accumulated sadness of time that really hits
Mom.. the side dishes you made are still in my freezer..
Getting emotional ㅜㅜ
This is actually kind of wholesome ngl, he's just trying to engage with content
Out of the 40-50 year olds I've met, more people taught me what they learned through hard work and told me to do well. More women bought me coffee when guys helped them with heavy things. It's strange how communities always try to divide us. Let's love and live together
This is a shame—even with 9 good people around you, 1 rough person sticks in your memory longer. You have lots of good memories to look back on, but still...
LMAOOO why are dads always writing these novels in the comments like YouTube Shorts is their personal diary 💀
bro really said 'let me write a 3 paragraph essay under a 15 second video' 😭😭
OK but why is this relatable to literally every older person on the internet, the energy is IDENTICAL
