YouTube content group the Try Guys regularly upload hilariously entertaining videos on the social platform. However, on Saturday their feed took a more personal approach to their latest creation.
One member of the four-man group, Eugene Lee Yang, wrote and directed a new music video to address his sexual orientation. While Yang has previously stated that he doesn’t identify as fully straight, this is the first time the content creator has gone completely candid with who he is in front of the channel’s nearly 6 million subscribers.
As Yang navigates through the set of the video, changing into various vibrant outfits, the actor addresses numerous roadblocks that could hinder someone from fully coming out. From a conservative upbringing to judgmental religious encounters, Yang explains why he withheld his truth from the world.
“I created this music video as my personal way of coming out as a proud gay man who has many unheard, specific stories to tell,” Yang tweeted Saturday in conjunction with his video.
