@@lindawu2326 I'm Singaporean LMAO

ikr

I'm also Singaporen btw

Lmao Zedong maybe in primary school ppl aim for high grades like that then in secondary school the expectation drop. In pri sch I got a classmate who cried for getting 99 for his math exam loll

Ikr

Next thing you know, he's going to build an amusement park in his backyard and have sleepovers with kids, meanwhile the whole world is going to have this misunderstanding about him being a "weirdo" or a "pedophile" because he does such elementary things during his adulthood. Smh RIP MJ

isnt that just reality though?

I don't think it's sad if he's pursuing what he likes from young. But it is unfortunate that he seems to have excessive pressure placed on him

But he does love acting and singing and such. But yes he is missing out on a lot and doesn't deserve to be in such pressure.

This nonsense dad. He has no ideas what he has said. Pure nonsense

Hant H H Usually 80

@@jimw8615 he meant the excuse is unacceptable.

But if you don't study and you fail that's unacceptable

@Whöre of Babylon No, that's never their intention, they mean the best for their kid, theyre just bad at parenting

Yeah

Neat.

ye

But you need education to get into dreams as it's not that easy no matter what job you got

@@Jerbt Yes

2000 dollars a month on lessons and 50 marks. To a certain extent, I understand, but the child isn't engaged in his studies and maybe it has something to do with his tight schedule.

Because it really was unacceptable, his father knows that he can score better and he only scored 50 because he didn’t prepare. But is it the parents’ fault too, he’s so young and they, as his parents, should be helping him manage his time better and not just supporting him.

No the stress was from the jam packed schedule Keana set for himself

You look at this, of course 50 isn't that good. And here his parents are supplying him with things he wants, so I'm sure they have a hidden mindset to "you wanted this, work hard for it"

no, it's because he did not study at all so he was angry, my parents would be the same Imao

Sucks to be asian with asian parents man

@@contentdeleted4987 how can he properly study when he's doing modelling work until 1 am? Sleeping late already messes up this kid circadian rhythm. Bad sleeping habit=Your brain will fog, making it difficult to concentrate and make decisions.

I don't get it, you expected the dad to say 'failures ate good boy, come fail more fail more' wtf. And if you think that's angry you must have really nice parents, he's just encouraging him

Sin XE nah im asian and im enjoying my life

corona virus but then you came

@@arifgodhi3066 haha haha

I guess westerners have a harder time understanding Asia. But tbf from what I’ve heard and seen about Singapore, he is doing pretty well.

No I disagree as he needs to have education and I think that's more important then being an celebrity at his age

@shubh saxena he's literally nine years old, I don't think he should just leave school at that she as he has a lot more stuff to learn and soon instead of paperwork being filled by parents, he will be the adult soon

Sin XE poor kid

ikr he is stuck in this mental state of mind imagine if he goes out to the workplace damn his mind would be messed up he wouldnt know whats right or wrong

doritos91381 none Ok boomer

Score is not the end game until thanos appear

a parent getting angry at their kid isn't endgame. it's because he cant improve his grades that his dad got angry.

really sad to see such parents..... instead of reassurance he received "rejection"

Oh the acting is so real:)

My dad used to get a tad bit upset when I got a B. He never yelled or anything but I knew he was disappointed and that alone scared me so much that I learned how to forge his signature at a really young age.

Its kinda true but the child said that that was his dream

@@auser7087 he did but I have seen kids saying they love things which they don't only to make the parent(s) happy. I dont mean that is what's happening here. But a lot of kids be like "i want to become this and that" only for the parents' sake.

ah a hoshiyomi

Yeah true

I was thinking the same...👍🏻👍🏻

Idk why but asian parents cant understand their children at all lol

so if your kid is real lazy ? what? you going just let him float without putting pressure?

But the kid said that "I thought the test was yesterday, etc" which perhaps indicated that indeed this is due to his miscalculation or unprepared state, and the father just wanted to tell him that "you should be more prepared, next time". It might be a pressure, but is it bad?

myday you mean Asia

Go westerner lah parents lah talk so much

@@arifgodhi3066 actually it's mostly just in Singapore

@@Jerbt nononono, its almost whole of asia

@@LolmgGaming I guess I'm one of those lucky Chinese kids

yes. grades aren't all. The expectations is for Keane to not disappoint himself. I experience the same. I get easily disappointed cause I didn't reach my own goal that i set for myself. btw, Im his sister :)

Dawn Yap oh wow lol. A lot of the comments are saying that the parents are putting too much pressure on him and stuff, and he says he’s works till 1 am, was he exaggerating on that lol?

Kind of true, all that money he made from ads and shows were most likely belong to his parents

sour grapes

Greedy? His parents spent money on things their son wants! How is that greedy?

Ok

Mingyo Chu yea ikr 🤯

Not just korea Probably half of Asia be cryin if they get 98

“99 only?! Grounded for two weeks and no devices for 6 months!! Must study harder!!!”

@A Google User omg that literally happened to a kid in my tuition, he told the teacher “I got 99 on my exam and my mom was super angry lo.” I once failed a math test and my mom got pissed at everybody :p that’s Asian parents for you

mingyo korean grading system is different. Korean grading is based on tests while canadian grading system is based on normal work

ok

that was like once as the filming over ran

I mean, 2000 dollars on lessons and 50 marks in return. He has a tight schedule, yes, but keep in mind that he asked for tuition. This basically means the he contributed to the tight schedule. He said that he got 80 at 2:15 I'm just saying, if he gets a 50 afterwards, that means that his grades slipped. Maybe that's why the father is angry. He's used to his child doing well.

I have been to a couple filmshoots before. Unfortunately, they have no choice but to only film at late hours so that noise and light pollution would be minimum. If Keana really does want to pursue the media industry he is going to have to get used to working up till 5am. That's just how it is.

@@ctrlthstry yeah, but he's still a child, not even a teen yet, it's not healthy

Zya Ravie he even admits he studies in between all the schedules

Maybe it's not what is required to reach his position

you don't even have to learn mitochondria, factoring trinomials, mastering long divisions, reciting the periodic table, etc. to pursue an acting career

Ray Mak stoooooop your every we’re

Ray Mak YOU ARE EVERYWHERE OMFG

Wiat how are you the top comment if you only have 2 likes?

Do you hack the RU-vid’s system?

@@groot6409 wtf no he doesn't? :/

Plz don’t mention death

did ask. my bro and I told our parents that we wanted to learn all that

Not really. 100 means you already learned. 50 yes you have a lot to learn because you didn't.

It is a great saying but you can legit see the dad getting angry...

? "To nuture his ambition, his mum spends at least $2,000 a month on lessons." So, in this video, the child said that he wants to be a celebrity at 0:29. His parents agreed to this and funded his lessons. So to a certain extent, he wanted this. This has led to him not doing as well as he planned due to the stress he experienced through filming. Keep in mind, he wanted to be a celebrity, so he needs to learn through lessons in order to be a celebrity. So, due to this catastrophe, he said that he asked for tuition. He said this, at 2:18. You're right, they don't know how to be a parent. They shouldn't have put him through that, but keep in mind, to a certain extent, he wanted this.

@@Enthusiast230 well you're not wrong.. he did indeed ask to be a celebrity

i know that the parents agree but atleast shouldn't the parents tell the consequences and doing all this at the same time might not a good idea?

@@Luxstar13 it's not in the video as this is literally years ago when he first told them he wanted to be an child star

@@Jerbt I mean't doing full time acting job while doing school.

HAHAH WTF

BlackpinkInYourArea Singapore may be rich looking, but the people there don’t make very much.

StanKpopKids i agree, long work hours and stress is very commonplace here and the salary isnt even much at all.

not true tho, most of the asian country are well developed and prob richer than most western country

@@yvricz1410 Not true. First of all there is a lot of poor place in Asian countries which you don't visit. When you go to China, you visit Beijing Shanghai and all the nice nice cities but never visit the horribly poor area. Same goes for Philippines Indonesia and Thailand.

Unfortunately, even if you are a famous celebrity, in a country like Singapore, the masses will still judge you by your academic achievements. The education system differs across countries, and just because the education system is bad in one doesn't mean that it's bad in others. At his age (primary school) is where he learns the basics, such as sentence structures and grammar (English), life cycles (biology) and simple algaebric manipulation (math). Saying that he should be taken out of school at that age is akin to allowing him to have less general knowledge than all of his peers who would have gone through at least the primary education system, leaving him at an obvious disadvantage already. By the way, the primary education system happens to be mandatory in that country. So if he's pulled out without special admission from the government, his parents are liable for a penalty for breaking the law. Before making a sweeping statement and criticising all schools for being "useless", just remember that not everyone has experienced the same as what you've experienced, and that people in different countries have different opinions on education. And if, by any chance, you're from the same country as the kid, then all I can say is that you and him have very different ideas of success. Even with all that pressure, he still opts for voluntary tuition instead of sitting back and just complaining about how bad the education system is. IMO, he should be supported but not overly pressured, which would depend heavily on his parents' (especially his father's) attitude towards him in encouraging him to work towards his dream, while not being overbearing. Only this way can he both pursue his dream and stay relatively stress free. Feel free to rebuke my statement with your own constructive criticism

@@contorgonflame452 man wrote an essay i can't

If u get out of school, there will still be exams. If u fail, they will get u back to school and btw he wanted this. He choice this. Every child should have to study. It is important. I used to think studying was useless but soon enough, i figured out that it was actualy helpful.

@@genshin_epic8038 Important for exams

80 is actually low if you think about it as it's a single point from getting a C

@@Jerbt which country are you in?

@@Jerbt for me 50 is a pass and 80 is an A

Woah I don't even understand why 60 is a pass lmao

Well to be fair for us its 75 passing grade on a report card but i get constant 90s

i think might as well left them in elders house.

I guess you have so much respect for him, using laughing emojis

But good for him for still wanting to try
