I created this music video<\/a> as my personal way of coming out as a proud gay<\/a> man<\/a> who has many unheard, specific stories to tell. I withheld because of fear and shame shaped by my background but I promise to give my full truth in the rest of my life’s work.t.co\/bLTX7c4fwv<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/0nLLAWR5FC<\/a><\/p>\n

Tweeted Yang: \u201cI created this music video<\/a> as my personal way of coming out as a proud gay<\/a> man<\/a> who has many unheard, specific stories to tell. I withheld because of fear and shame shaped by my background but I promise to give my full truth in the rest of my life\u2019s work. \u201d<\/p>\n

The video<\/a> clip, which also stars Grace Yoo, Intae Kim, Terumi Shimazu, Gary Murakami, Sophia Oddi, Kim Chi, Jazzmyne Jay, Rhea Litr\u00e9, Mayhem Miller, Curly Velasquez, Arisce Wanzer, and Joshua Blaine, features music by ODESZA and was written, directed, and choreographed by Yang.<\/p>\n

Said Yang to the NYT in April 2018<\/a>: \u201cI was a very insecure, self-conscious kid, and as an artist even more so. I always assumed that my otherness was a curse \u2014 that I would be held back by my Asian and queer identities. My time online has shown me that the viewers will respond most to authentic storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Try Guys is a four man<\/a> comedy group (which originated on Buzzfeed but is now independent) that puts themselves in novel and outlandish new situations.<\/p>\n
