    I looove that you went from referring to your twin as 'biological brother' to just 'brother' in the span of this documentary <3
  • @HOBOZBOBZ
    they shouldve made one full video on kiseong coming over to visit dan in cali
  • @maryravindran1
    The twins missed the opportunity to grow up with each other...But i understand it's must be painful for the parents to give up on their child. So i want to recap what i saw to understand why Dan was given for adoption.His mother was very sick after she give birth to 2 sick premature baby and the father decide to put Dan for odoption because they are poor and Dan need medical attention.. His mother try to get him back after she recovered but he was already being adopted. I suppose she must been heartbroken and think of him everyday, i cannot imagine the pain not knowing what happen to your child. That is why she is very emotional when she finally met her lost child.
  • @SakakiDash
    I wish you extended the Docu with more footage from your Brothers visit to the US.
  • @Navigator2905
    I have no idea who akaDan is, but I love the entire documentary. It was beautiful show. Im so glad that you shared it to the world. I will definitely be subscribing to your channel.
  • @yootoobsamantha
    I loved seeing Dan with his brother, I wish there was more! Also kudos to Clara C!! (:
  • @FREEFROMITALL
    7 years later - youtube recommends this to me (unsure why) I watch it all (could you please link the videos so they go in order, Had to manually find them) I NEED to know, do you still keep in touch. Your mom is the sweetest woman, she had a mothers love for you that went unbroken for 28 years apart, it was precious to watch.
  • @3ra8e91
    i was thinking, does your adopted sister ever thought of finding her family too?!! 
  • @lelindy
    I like how he got along with his twin brother :)
  • @stinkytofu89
    Okay, I know it's two guys but matching tshirts.....how cuuuuute! Lol I hope your brother enjoyed his trip to Cali! And in n out is a step better than McDonald's for sure but not all that jazz people make it up to be.
  • @yootoobsamantha
    Also Ki Seong is my fashion inspiration haha (: I love his outfits woo!
  • @mmoxiee
    Your story is so compelling, I hope you make lots of videos of your journey for us to see. This is just the tip of the iceberg.....
  • @Imkeepinon
    I randomly came on this story on youtube like you do sometimes and was so touched by it. What an amazing journey and so well put together. Thanks for sharing your life. The song is anybody out there is soooo amazing. God had his hand in all this. Thanks again for sharing!
  • @winfin3913
    Is it funny that his brother reminds me of the Tasty twins?!? He looks so cute and handsome!!
  • Wow speaking of a ridiculously jealous guy... I'm sorry Dan for the mark! Yeah and your brother rapping... It runs in your blood ;) both of you guys are talented.
