“Children can sense a genuinely loving soul…” — and this moment proved it.
At a recent meet-and-greet, YUNGBLUD reminded everyone why he’s not just a standout musician, but a genuinely beautiful human being. As he stood greeting fans of all ages, one tiny moment stood out—and it’s quickly becoming one of the most talked-about and cherished clips among his followers.
A little girl, no older than five, walked straight up to YUNGBLUD with her arms outstretched, her face lit up with joy and trust. Without hesitation, he smiled warmly and knelt down to her level.
“Is it okay if I give you a hug?” he gently asked, holding out his arms.
She nodded, and the two embraced in the sweetest, most innocent hug—one that spoke volumes without a single word. Around them, the crowd sighed in unison, phones raised to capture the moment, and many fans were visibly emotional.
One fan captured the video and posted it online with the heartfelt caption:
“Children can sense a genuinely loving soul. She walked towards YUNGBLUD with her arms out and he asked her permission for a hug 🫂 This young man is a credit to his mum and I’m sure she’s so proud of him. He really is fastly becoming my favourite artist. I’m 54 and I love his music. He’s so unique for today’s scene.”
The moment quickly went viral, drawing praise from fans of all generations. Many pointed out how YUNGBLUD’s compassion, consent, and gentle nature in that one hug say everything about who he is—not just as an artist, but as a person.
In a world that often feels chaotic, it’s these small, quiet acts of kindness that stand out—and stay with us. YUNGBLUD has always worn his heart on his sleeve in his music, but in this brief, beautiful encounter with a little princess, he showed us his soul.
