Yoo Byung-jae's 'Mugonghae' and Random Chat diptok
Moments When Empathy Without Judgment Becomes Comfortable
Hey diptok Fam! It's Ah-Young here!
Lately, Yoo Byung-jae's Mugonghae (Unconditional Empathy) series keeps popping up in my YouTube algorithm. It’s not a channel I usually follow, so I kept skipping it, but I happened to watch a few... and strangely, I can't stop. It’s not that it’s hilariously funny, but more like my heart feels a bit "looser" after watching it? Thinking about it, I think it's because, unlike our usual daily lives, there is zero judgment. I want to explore a few episodes from the series through the lens of 'empathy.'

1. The Story of Being Exhausted After Doing Absolutely Nothing
One of the stories is about someone who stayed home all day but feels incredibly tired. We all have those days, right? You didn't exercise, you didn't meet anyone, yet you’re just exhausted for no reason. Usually, when you bring this up, people say, "Didn't you just rest all day?" But Yoo Byung-jae is different. "That can happen." "Just thinking a lot is exhausting." Those simple words made me smile because I realized I didn't need to attach a grand explanation to my feelings.
2. A Day Wasted Just Waiting for a Text
Another story was about someone who spent their entire day picking up and putting down their phone, wondering if a certain someone would text. Even though their head said, "Don't wait," their hands kept reaching for the phone. In Mugonghae, they didn't call this an 'obsession,' nor did they ask why the person was doing that. They just said, "I understand that feeling," and it felt surprisingly comforting.
3. Feeling Lonelier While Surrounded by People
The story that stayed with me the longest was about feeling lonely even when surrounded by others. There are plenty of people at work, and the group chats are active, but there's no place to truly talk about oneself. It's a state where the emotion feels too vague to label as 'loneliness,' so you end up swallowing it alone. "Being around people doesn't make you less lonely." I found myself nodding along to that single sentence.
Why 'Mugonghae' Feels So Comfortable
In Mugonghae, Yoo Byung-jae simply gives unconditional empathy. There are no solutions, no advice, and practically no "life lessons." Instead, he doesn't categorize things as right or wrong. That’s why watching it makes me feel safe. It feels like a space where it's okay for my emotions to be vague or messy.
And That’s Why I Thought of diptok
The reason people become more honest with strangers on random chat diptok, much like those sending stories to Mugonghae, is quite similar. Since you don't know each other, don't have to see each other again, and don't need to be evaluated, the thought "Can I say this?" changes to "I can just say this." The reason a conversation on diptok can sometimes feel more comfortable than talking to someone close to you is likely because of this lack of judgment.
Watching Mugonghae made me realize something: we don't always want a solution; more often than not, we just want to hear that "it's okay to feel that way." If your day was randomly exhausting, perhaps content like this or a random conversation on diptok might help more than you think.
Hope today story brought you a little comfort tonight. If you ever need a chill spot to chat about these things in the late-night hours, why not give diptok a try and start your own honest conversation? 💜
