Chung, who lives in Mountain View, California, told \"Good Morning America\" his family's ordeal all started three weeks ago after he dropped his sons — Anders, 7, and Liam, 4 — off at their schools. The venture capital firm director was focusing on work when his wife frantically texted him, telling him to check his email for a notice from their 4-year-old's preschool.

\"I checked my email, and you find out, oh, yeah, they found two cases, and then you got to pick them up immediately. We got to quarantine,\" Chung recalled.

The gravity of the situation immediately sunk in for him and it was \"really stressful.\"

\"We bring them home and that was on a Tuesday, so we still got four days left of the week,\" he said. \"And we're just trying to figure out, 'OK, how are we going to triage this?'\"

And at the same time, he said, \"Also we got to keep working on our jobs, you know?\"

He's quick to acknowledge that he and his wife were lucky -- after all, they both had the option to work remotely. Even so, he said the experience was still difficult, leaving him feeling burnt out.

But, he said, \"Part of me was like, I know we're not alone, because I know my friends who are parents, they're going through the same thing. I just wanted to depict a little bit of how it felt, maybe just share a little bit.\"

Chung said he figured people would like his post, but he never thought it would get so popular. Over 5,000 people have liked his post in the last week and one parent wrote, \"I can't tell you how much I love this - just had the exact week and 'Encanto' was on steady rotation. Pretty sure I like the songs more than my four year old.\"

In his poem, Chung references Disney's latest animated movie, which features an original soundtrack from Lin-Manuel Miranda.

\"My son loves 'Encanto,'\" Chung said of the family musical. \"It's a wonderful film. And then my little one, literally, whenever we go anywhere, we have to play it, like it's meltdown city if we don't play it. But it's such a good soundtrack. I don't mind.\"

He added the movie's rhythm and rhymes, something Anders loves, likely influenced some of his poetry as well.

As a parent working from home, Chung told \"GMA,\" \"You can feel like you're alone, you're just stuck and it's so, so tiring, right? But hey, we're all dealing with this and it's OK.\"

In the meantime, Chung plans to continue writing and even publishes a \"Yujin's Raps & Rhymes\" newsletter. For Anders' birthday this Thursday, he also wrote a new poem, highlighting his \"very sweet kid's\" kindness and big heart.

For others looking to pursue their own poetry, Chung says to embrace the hobby and go for it.

\"It's a wonderful habit to have. I think the nice thing about poetry too, especially as a working parent, you don't need anything for it,\" he said. \"You can do it in the mornings. You can do it after everyone goes to sleep.\"

He added, \"Hopefully I'll do this forever.\"

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and \"Good Morning America.\"
