My wife is a nurse on the frontlines fighting this pandemic. She says watching your videos when she has a bad day brings a smile to her face and keeps her going. Please keep making those videos. You are helping a lot of people in ways you may not know. Thank you.
It's cool that guys like John Chu, Harry Shum Jr., and Simu Liu (mainstream media people) constantly give shout-outs to Wong Fu. Hopefully in doing so, they can hold the door open for them as well and provide WF a seat at the table.
been a fan for as long as I can remember and I just want to say that wongfu is not just a product of the lack of asians in media. wongfu is its' own genre of media that captures the essence of what it means to be human, more specifically for asian-americans, but in many ways relatable to the population as a whole. I love what y'all are doing and I'm glad that 2020, even with the difficulties, didn't stop you from continuing to produce impacting videos!

I am not Asian but have been a fan for years! Wongfu has an agenda, but it's something that anyone could relate to!

Hello I hope I get invited to your wedding thank you
I've been watching Wong Fu since I was in middle school, and I just graduated college this past May. It never crossed my mind that WF would shut down even though I know that the pandemic is hurting everyone and small businesses. I've been watching a bunch of Netflix and honestly, you guys create better content than some of their originals. I just assumed that WF was always going to be here. I don't know how to explain it, but you guys were always reliable. Kind of like that one friend that's always there, you might not talk for a while, but when you do, it's like no time has passed.

I completely agree!!
When the world needed them most, they came back... (edit) Wwwoonnggg wwoonngg wwoonngg wwwwwoonnnggg
the sad truth is that one day wong-fu will no longer be around. Whether that means the channel stops producing shorts or the people we are most familiar with (the current team) are no longer around. But I hope that when that day comes, that's because you guys end it on your own terms. That you guys decided that wongfu should end rather than a premature ending from pandemic or feel that "there is no need for us". It should be a decision that comes from you guys alone. Personally, I think we NEED more channels like wongfu. Ones that celebrate diversity and visibility. An organization that helps the minority get a chance to have more visibility. In my heart, I want wongfu to always be around. You guys have done so much for me and the community. But in my head, I know things will always change. Lets hope that change is far far into the future and I get to watch these happy recap videos for many more years in the future. As always, thank you for everything you have done. This year, to me, was one of the most impactful. You all showed how a platform can really make a difference in the world and make things brighter. To 2021!

Wong fu forever 🥺
Hi I'm an international silver careholder. I'm going to be losing 6 months of my salary in 2021. So I started to cut down on monthly expenses recently. I cancelled many subscriptions, like YT premium and other patreons. But I stayed with WF. I must admit, as an international careholder often I don't get to enjoy the careholder privileges and also sometimes can see that the content is about asian american issues. BUT. I STILL LOVE WF because your stories speak to everyone and is universal. And ultimately, you come across really genuine, real, personal. I always hope you can "succeed" get bigger, but at the same time if you do I worry that personal touch will change. Anyway. Just wanted to say, thank you for bringing so much joy and inspiration to me. Discovered you when Fun Employed came out. And now I'm 37yrs old. Still a fan. WF 4 Lyfe. All the best to Ted too. Stay Safe.

From a fellow fan, THANK YOU for your support
Missing those days where Wes, Ted, and Phil being on screen together.
Thank you for continuing to lead in AAPI representation, hold difficult conversations, and push forward despite the obstacles. Y'all are incredible and have helped motivate, shape, and help so many of us throughout your amazing impactful 17-year history. Much love and appreciation, WongFu -- thank you, from a forever fan
Perhaps one of the best creators on KZread. All the best for WongFu Production!
You guys are definitely needed. As a person with asian ancestry it means a lot. You guys have so much great content. You guys have so much talent and so much to give. Thanks for the great content and laughs. We will all come back stronger than before.
I'm crying:'''0 We still need you Wong Fu! You are all so amazing!!! Stay strong in 2021!
Wong Fu has adapted so much over 17 years and I have no doubt in my mind that they can do the same next year and into the future. Wong Fu went from just Wes, Ted, and Phil to having a close team of members. Members have come and gone, the company has added a second channel, and now, a Patreon. WF went from filming only shorts and sketches but has released top quality mini-series', a web television series through KZread, and even a movie. If WF can forge a career by entering into the unknown that is the internet back in 2003, then I'm sure they can adapt to the times as well- whether it's through KZread or mainstream media or a combination of both.
Im so happy for the years that ive had watching wong fu productions. We all love you guys.
Thank you Wong Fu Productions for making this video. This year without a doubt has made each and every one of us grow, adapt, and resilient. Phil, you're right. Even with major breakthroughs in mainstream media, we Asians are still minorities trying to fight for a seat at the table. Thank you for all of your hard work during this year, your fans and I really do appreciate the content that you have created for us to watch. I am optimistic that 2021 will bring us good health, happiness, and a new beginning. Happy New Year to Wong Fu and the Wong Fu family!
I recently came to know about Wong Fu during the lockdown. I dont regret coming to your channel at all. Your videos, all of them helped me get through the year and I thank you for that. Wong Fu forever :)
When I watch your shorts I see myself, my family and my community being represented. I see our culture and values. I really hope you continue for many years so my children can be old enough to watch them. I love the evolving conversations and stories. Thank you for sharing your journey through a difficult year and by you showing resilience will empower others!!
I remember seeing a couple of Wong Fu's videos when I was in college back in 2014/2015 and I just rediscovered them again this year. I'm not Asian but I can still relate to your content and your videos have gotten me through some really tough times this year. Thank you Wong Fu
My tears rolled down uncontrollably when I heard “should we shut down as well”. Although it isn’t the case but my heart suck for a moment, like saying goodbye to a really old friend. So grateful that you guys pushed through and are still here with/for us!! Thank you!! And to a better 2021!! 💛✨
Beautiful sentiment! Your strength and sensitivity always inspires and touches me. I’m glad you are all hanging in there, finding the positives in the crazy. Best wishes for the New Year, and thank you for all that you do!
Thank you for being with us through the years! Your voices are appreciated. So are the laughs (and tears)...(and thought bubbles).
Phew! You got me worried for a beat. You guys have been a huge influence on my filmmaking adventures here in the Philippines. Thank you for staying. I sure can speak for everyone here. We'll be right here.
Glad to see they're still doing ok. I've been following Wong Fu for around 10 years now. It's been awesome to see you guys change and evolve.
I’m 25 now but I’ve been watching Wong Fu since I was 14 (or maybe even younger) Y’all have honestly been the foundation of modern Asian American media and many people (myself included) would be devastated if there was more more Wong Fu. In terms of how to improve engagement, I would love to see more videos that challenge our perspectives (i.e. I LOVED Yappie) and surface introspective insights. I would also love to see more videos related to the political landscape of America in relation to Asian Americans. Back then, I definitely loved (and I still do appreciate) the romantic relationship-focused videos, but the older I get, the more I want to hear other Asian Americans talk about more pressing issues. Anyways, love y’all’s content, keep up the great work!!
i've been a subscriber a little before strangers again, and through the years, I've had those proud moments for this channel. thank you! I've grown with you and keep strong everyone! virtual hugs for all! wishing wongfu & the viewers a healthy and prosperous new year!
started watching yall since 2010 and never stopped loving wongfuproductions and i still jump at my seat wherever i see a video notification! i hope yall are doing well and jia you because you all can get through this pandemic together ❤❤
The editing is immaculate in this video!! Y’all have been amazing and seeing the change throughout the years is so nice!
Your channel made me smile through rough times this year, I hope you'll find the resources and the inspiration to continue this channel, thank you.
thank you for almost 2 decades!! Your hard work doesn't go unnoticed
Been a fan since forever, and will always be. Your content is so funny, inspiring, moving, thought-provoking, or sometimes just the best way to chill after a long day (especially during the rough times of 2020). Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do, WongFu crew! We all really appreciate it.
Absolutely love everything you guys do. I’ve probably rewatched so many of your videos this year. The videos you guys put out truly do encourage, Comfort and entertain. Keep it up because you guys are the best at what you do!
Wish you the best for 2021! Following WF since Yellow Fever, we grow up with you. Take care and continue to evolve 👍🏻
I’ve been following you guys for a long time and i’ve always admired your transparency & work. im excited to see what next year has in store!
Love you guys! I’m sorry this year has been tough for you, but this video reminded me why I loved you in the first place! You’re inspiring in everything you do and this... I want to do better at getting back on my feet too. Thank you for keeping it real and for never stopping! Have a great 2021!
Thank you Wong Fu! Your videos have put a smile on my face for the past 6 years, and I'm excited to see what you all do in the future!
I can honestly say, I’ve grown up with Wong Fu Productions. I go back to watch some of your older videos and short films from time to time and they are so nostalgic. Thank you to the entire team for being a positive impact in so many lives. I look forward to continue watching your productions in the years to come. Happy New Year! 🎊❤️
I found this channel 4 years back. And since then i always look forward for any uploads and updates from you.being an introverted self in my own bubble,watching your videos have helped me open up to an entire different world & interact with others better. Thank you for all you have given and hope this new year will bring us all better days ahead. GOOD LUCK & HAPPY NEW YEAR ✊
my heart just dropped so hard, this was beautiful and really opened my eyes. thank you for everything you’ve done for the community and here’s to more in the future. love u all :)
Been a fan for years, thank you for sticking around and giving us fun content to watch 💙💙
Much love, Wong Fu fam ❤️ I often view you all as that pillar in the Asian American community that we all don’t really know what we’d do without. Wishing you all the best in health and prosperity moving into the new year!
lmaoo WongFu got me crying as usual. Thank you for sticking around & never giving up WF Team!! We appreciate you reppin' & putting out content for the As. Am. community.✨
Thank you for your continuous effort and content! I can't imagine KZread without wongfu! 💖 Stay strong team!!!! 2021 will look better
y'all are one of my longtime favorites and i appreciate this reflection and look forward to what comes next.
I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS EARLIER BUT WOW WHAT A VIDEO

Love how you wrapped 2020 with these words, I can still remember how one of short films affect me 7 years ago (in a positive way actually). How you produce something then deliver them with your style and touch everyone who watch. I can't describe how much I want to say thank you for Wong Fu and your efforts for change my life back then. Thanks for always keep your commitment until now ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
Wong Fu! Thank you for hanging in there and continuing to make videos! I watched yellow fever years ago and have been a fan ever since! I truly hope that 2021 will be a better year for you and all the world!
WongFu has always been a constant in my life. I started watching WF at the end of elementary school and I am now about to graduate college.. I never really thought about the possibility of WF stopping. Thank you for all the woek you guys do and stories you guys tell. Thank you WongFu for being such a constant in my life and keeping me going
This is the video we needed to bring us all together and spark hope in 2021. Thank you Wong Fu for sharing what we are thinking, but perhaps not able to communicate into words. Many of us grew up watching your videos and it’s so refreshing that while your company continues to evolve in its 17 years, you’ve stayed true to your values and represent the Asian community in the best light, telling the stories that people can relate to.
I can’t believe I’ve been on such a long journey with you guys. Thanks for sticking around. From time to time, I watch your super duper old videos, and it brings me so much nostalgia it hurts.
"Should we shutdown too?" My immediate response was no!

Same here. Shutting down WF is crazy talk! but it's been a crazy year, and as a small business owner, the questions being raised here are very real. Scared me for a moment there Phil and team. Yes, Asian representation has increased in Hollywood films but it's still an upward battle. Even here in Australia, we're still the minority in national media. Change is happening slowly. Thank goodness you're still here (for now) to fight the good fight.

Yall are needed! So needed!!!!!
Seriously love how wholesome & creative Wong Fu is! Keep it up & stay safe everyone!
Thank you for always being there. Wong Fu videos have always helped me out personally and I am so excited to see what you'll do next. #WongFu4Life
"We're here with you. We're here for you." Right back at ya.
Wongfu has been with me for over a decade from middle school to post grad. Keep pushing forward into a new year and cant wait to see what else you all have coming!
Happy New Year to all of Wong Fu. Thank you for producing amazing content throughout the years.
This reflection vid was def heartwarming to hear and see. As tough as it was this year, you guys have always managed to pull through and never give up. Keep it going WF!
Honestly really happy I discovered this channel, I had so many questions on starting my own production company and you guys answered most of them and are still continuing to do so. Thank you🙏
Way to get me in the feels guys!!! Wishing you all health and happiness this year (and for the years to come)
I have been watching you guys since i was in highschool, that's 15 years ago at the least. You guys get me through the toughest times too... help me get over with previous relationships and funny short flims. You guys changed our lives. Keep it going!!!
I've been watching your content since middle school and I'm now in my third year of graduate school. Thank you for trekking on and making the content you do. You've impacted many in my generation and we're all a little better because of the art Wongfu has put out into the world. #Wongfu4lyfe
Wong Fu is one of very few channels on KZread which directly connects with my heart. Lots of love and best wishes. Happy new year.
you guys have been the window from which i entered asian culture and i never left. thank you for your contribution and your content all these years
I cried a bit watching this... You guys are always going to be my inspiration as a filmmaker, creator, artist, and Asian American. When things feel tough, I always remember the joy your content brought to me and hope to see more in the future!
I've been watching y'all for about 4 years, since I found Single By 30 during my divorce. Oddly enough, I know several marriages that happened this year, including my own second marriage. The planned wedding - a small event at my local lesbian bar - had to be canceled but we just did it common law anyhow (I live in one of the few US states which still has that.) In spite of it all 2020 was a pretty good year for me, but only because so many before it were horrible and a lot of work I was doing to improve my life came to fruition this year. I hope 2021 is better for us all.
You guys were the first KZread group I watched back in 2008 in my freshman year during my video production class. I appreciate your effort you guys do when making this videos. Also Happy New Year even though this year wasn’t a happy year for all of us.
I started watching you all from your collab with Kevjumba, Happyslip, and David Choi YEARS ago (throwback to IG KZread!) and you have done nothing less of inspiring me to pursue my dream of acting. I’m a proud Patreon supporter and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for you all! Cheers to a better year!
You guys fill a huge void in mainstream entertainment and I truly, deeply appreciate all that you do. Have an amazing 2021.
Can't believe it's been 17~ years since I first watched Yellow Fever with my brother, and now I'm watching this as a 30 year old engaged man. Long as you keep making videos, I promise to stick around. Who knows, maybe in 10 years, I'll be watching it with a kid or two haha. It's truly been a joy. Thank you!
Shout out to the Wong Fu team from Singapore! I started watching Wong Fu about 10 years ago when I had just entered high school. Now it's 2021 and I'm graduating from university, getting engaged, and about to start my new job. WF's content has been such a formative part of my life journey and no matter what your answers are to those tough questions, I just want to affirm your incredible efforts over the years and thank you for your work. 💙
Hope you guys continue to stay safe throughout this entire ordeal. I will always love and appreciate all the things I have learned through watching your videos. Keep up the good work and wish you guys all the best. Sincerely random asian kid from the internet.
I'm ugly crying over here. Phil, you really have a way with words~~ The first channel I subscribed to and I'm so happy I am able to watch every single one of the videos created!!
Thank you so much for the videos as always, Wong Fu for life!
Thank you for being there for us, WF. We are with you all the way!
I've watched Wong Fu since high school when it was just Ted, Phil, and Wes running everything... Now you have a crew of gifted individuals playing a part in this story!! I'm really excited to see what you guys have in store for 2021. ^__^
Wongfu has been a huge part of my life 😭 💕
Can’t believe I just found you a few days ago and have been binging on your videos. ❤️
I only discovered you guys this year, but I cannot wait to see what you accomplish next. I believe in you 🥰
thank you for this heartfelt video, it felt real and hopeful and brought a few tears to my eyes. will always support your work and your path wherever you choose to go, may 2021 be a brighter year for all of us
Touching video.. teared up.. thank you for all y’all do!!! Keep pushing .. we need you
wow! this was beautiful, as usual! WongFu never disappoints! u guys are very needed
I am still amazed by your writing Phillip, whenever you allow yourself to put your emotions into a script I'm just blown away. I haven't watched wong fu in a few years because I miss the emotional shorts that you guys were able to crate before. The ones that touched my heart with dynamic angles, the right music, actors/actresses and the story. To see you guys collaborate with some of my other favorite KZreadrs that I was watching at that time really felt like you guys brought the community closer somehow. Those shorts regarding the different phases of love and relationships taught me a lot and are stills tuck in my head til this day. I'm glad to see that you guys will pump out content but it's just not the same and it can never be. Thanks for being a part of my childhood.
This deserves more attention and so does this channel. Wongfu stays underrated and under appreciated. Thank you for all of your hard work and effort towards paving a way and making a safe space for Asian Americans and Asians all over the world. Thank you for representing us, giving us a voice, giving us a space to feel seen and comfortable to laugh in and bringing awareness the struggles and issues we face. So much love and gratitude to wongfu 💛💛 -a young Asian American girl who has struggled with identity, self love and internalized racism
Graduating college this year and have been watching your videos since 5th grade. It's insane to watch how your work has changed and developed over time, and I especially appreciate WF's conscious contribution to the Asian American community. Representation in mainstream media is important, but independent Asian American media is so special and just as important. Y'all have the power, creativity, and passion as Asian Americans to share what being Asian Americans means without overwhelming restrictions, and it's evident in your work. I'm grateful to have grown up watching your videos and being able to relate with others through the Asian American experience. Thank you for initiating important conversations and for being transparent!! Can't wait to see what y'all do next :))
STOP I'M CRYING AWWW thank u for always bringing so much happiness into our lives, wongfu!! i wouldn't be who i am without you and i am so proud of you guys pushing through even though it's been an extremely challenging year for many. #wongfu4lyfe
I grew up with Wong Fu Productions and I hope they never stop doing what they are doing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
soooo well put and heart felt. we. appreciate. you. thank you for all the hard work that you do for the community. your business might be small but the value is uncountable.
After 7 years, I’ve come back to look at how you guys are doing now. I’m crying, thank you for shaping my youth years.
It's pretty crazy how I started watching y'all when I was in 6th grade...it's been a little while since i've watching some content bc I've started post-grad but coming back to this channel brings back so many happy memories of watching you all with my friends, getting my first awkward animal (that i still have lol), and just how awesome this channel was for a young asian girl looking for content that resonated with her I'm so grateful for all the content you have produced, the representation you brought into the American limelight and just how great you all are. Thank you wongfu!
Thank you wong fu!!!!! Love this Love the purpose, love the transparency!!!
I am so proud of each and everyone of you and I keep on looking forward to your content.
I don't know how long I've been watching WongFu, but I know I've grown up with the channel. I graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a Bachelors in Film and I can proudly say that WongFu was a big part of why I chose to study film. My plan is to make an impact over here in Tennessee just as you guys have made an impact world wide. I don't know what plans I have down the road to make that impact right now, but I hope I can achieve my goal and, some day, create a legacy like WongFu. Thanks for all the inspirations and wonderful times over the years, WongFu!
Well done team, from the music through to the editing of this video. So talented!. Bravo 🙌
Keep going!! The work you do is important!
My heart. Love this. Love you guys at Wong Fu. Thank you again for letting me be a part of the journey and the team back in the day. Still and will always be a Wong Fu Fan.
can't wait for next year! Wong fu will do amazing things!
