Love, Eugene

“You can never be the reason I left, because you are all the reason I stayed…” OOOF 🥺

I saw someone say on Instagram that replacing Eugene with 9 people seems correct and I couldn’t agree more.

Aw Eugene will ALWAYS be a Try Guy. He's just going off and trying things behind the scenes. Thanks Eugene for sharing yourself with us for these past 10 years.

I had no idea that Eugene was a writer, but seeing how eloquenty he expresses himself and makes his point clear while still sounding incredibly gentle and vulnerable, I think he's got a bright future in front of him. best of luck.

Be careful of sitting in the directors chair, Eugene. You never know if it is actually Keith in disguise.

We will try (and totally fail) to fill your shoes. ❤

This didnt feel like the death i was expecting.. it felt like that last meal in a friends house after you've helped them pack everything. I loved growing with you and i cant wait to see where you go on this journey Eugene. Nimona was just the tip of the iceberg for you.

I know Eugene has meant a lot to a lot of people. But Eugene needs to know that I myself as a 51 year old southern momma, will always look back at him as my favorite Asian son! You are a beautiful soul!

"you could never be the reason I left, because you were all the reason I stayed" 😭😭 That's BEAUTIFUL

I remember Eugene said he always wanted a more diverse Try Guys (especially considering he was the only queer poc) but a certain someone said the Try Guys could only be the four. Seeing the Try Guys finally evolve their cast to be more inclusive as Eugene bows out seems to perfect. Edit: grammar

The clean break from Eugene is so understandable and heartbreaking, we’ll miss you Eugene!!! Can’t wait to see your endeavors in the future!!!!

Eugene is such an eloquent speaker. What a beautiful goodbye.

Incredibly selfless Eugene stayed with the Try Guys during the rock bottom drama, and therefore pushed back his planned exit and effectively future career. Nothing but respect for this man ❤

He sighed and I started crying

I have long held Eugene in high esteem, recognizing him not only as a member of the Try Guys but also as an integral figure in my whole life. I vividly recall fervently following his journey during a significant chapter of my life, and in many ways, I have internalized his identity, character, and beauty. His conduct, unwavering thoughtfulness towards his loved ones (albeit subtly veiled by nonchalance), and his well-spoken and eloquent demeanor have profoundly shaped my perception of him. Bearing witness to his evolution as a prominent LGBTQ+ media personality has been an incredible and almost surreal privilege. Rarely have I encountered someone so unfiltered, authentic, and multifaceted. As he revealed different facets and unveiled layers of his being, my admiration and respect for him deepened. It is challenging to believe that such an extraordinary individual coexists on the same planet as I do. I consider it a great honor to have intersected with his life, despite the physical distance that separated us but bound us spiritually. I aspire to meet him again someday. He will always hold a special place in my heart, and I hope that, amidst all his endeavors, he preserves a space in his soul where the spirit of the Try Guys endures. ❤

A beautiful and eloquent exit, Eugene. We love you eternally, and the difference you made was immeasurable. THANK YOU for being here.

Eugene I feel like we just had the most mutually understanding break up

When Eugene called Zach and Keith his "bespectacled baby brothers", my heart melted. We love you, Eugene. Go forward with your bright future and take comfort in being yourself.

This feels like sending a kid to college. He will always be a part of the house. So long, Eugene. You are always loved!

Eugene, I'm sure this comment will get lost in the sea of people wishing you well. But, I would like to add my drop to that Flood of support. IM SO FUCKING PROUD OF YOU! Watching you grow, and thrive, and come out of your shell since you first appeared on buzzfeed has been nothing short of an honor. As a Queer Elder Millennial (who also didn't feel comfortable in my own skin for most of my life) coming out has been hard, but also fulfilling. It feels amazing to finally be living my truth. And, that's what I want for you. Please keep following your dreams and living your truth. They have gotten you so far in this life and I cant wait to see how much farther you'll go. As for the rest of 2nd Try, I'm excited to watch the new Crew grow and thrive, and I cant wait to be a part of their journey as well.
