National Competition on Worries.
Today, we have only the best guests.
- Welcome, Jo Han! - Hello.
Welcome, Jun Hee!
- Cheetah! - Cheetah!
- Yoo Sang Moo! - Hello!
Jun Hee and Cheetah, partly because of your fashion,
- you two look alike. - They're like fierce ladies.
The moment I saw Cheetah,
I realised I don't look fierce at all.
She's so charismatic.
Cheetah does look charismatic, but her smile is very charming.
- She's like a baby. - She's lovely.
When she smiles, she looks like a baby on her first birthday.
- What? - Look at her. She looks like one.
In the entertainment industry, you often get misunderstood.
Is there a misunderstanding you want to get rid of?
A lot of people think I've been in complicated relationships.
A lot of people think that.
- So? - I'm just saying.
I know the reason why he keeps getting a new girlfriend.
- Why? - Because he's charming?
We've been on a show a couple of times, and he always hits on me.
(He's the type that hits on every girl.)
- Seriously. - How does he flirt?
- He flirts with female guests? - He tears up...
and says, "You are so gorgeous."
Be careful, Cheetah.
- He just flirts, doesn't he? - There was one time...
I almost fell for him.
But at the time, I had a boyfriend, so I didn't fall for him.
- He's about to cry again. - His eyes turned red.
Look at him!
(He cries to hit on girls.)
- What's wrong? - It's been a long time...
since I last saw you, and you are so beautiful.
(Shocked)
Try it on Cheetah.
- Let's see if she'll fall for you. - Do it to Cheetah.
- Try it. - Don't do it.
You look beautiful when you rap.
(He appeals to her with tearful eyes.)
Try it on me.
(His tears immediately dry up.)
- Okay. - When we think of Jo Han,
we think of his beautiful and romantic songs.
Didn't you release a new album?
I had prepared for this album...
for four years.
- Can you sing for us? - Without background music.
("Like We're Still in Love" by Kim Jo Han)
(The melody is so catchy.)
(His soulful voice gently fills the studio.)
(It's lovely.)
If Jo Han's new song is played in the background...
and Sang Moo cries,
any girl would fall in love with him.
Try it. Let's see if we will fall for him.
- Please act well. - Start.
- Wait. - I can only do it once a day.
- Please sing for us. - I can do this only once a day.
(Jo Han doesn't care.)
(He concentrates as soon as it begins.)
(I will tear up again.)
(The joint performance is a big success.)
Gosh.
(He's truly amazing.)
Last week, the story "His Loving Way" won.
I've been married for 22 years, and my husband is...
the sweetest man. He only loves me.
I planned an overnight trip to Jeonju, and I told him.
And he said it was impossible.
He said I should tell my friend to stay over at our place.
- At your place? - That's crazy.
He throws his socks everywhere.
I come home after work, and the house is a mess.
He doesn't move a finger.
How is he? Did he change after the shoot?
Two small things have changed.
- Like what? - When he takes off his socks,
he puts them in front of the laundry room door.
He carries a dining table to the living room.
Those are very menial.
He said he will let you...
go on a trip with your friends.
Yes. But after the shoot, he told me this.
He said he will go too and...
He will go with you?
And watch from afar.
That's even weirder.
He said he wanted to go with me.
But you promised to send her on a trip with her friends.
He's going to speak in the Chungcheong dialect.
I can't begin to describe how upset I was.
- I... - Here we go again.
You said you would tag along with her?
I thought it would be too much if I let her go at once.
That's why I said that.
I will just let her go alone.
- Right. - I'll let her go.
And I beg you. Please don't wear pink clothes.
I tried to look my best.
(Please recognise my efforts.)
Okay.
We will see if they will win again.
- The winner will get... - We will give you...
- Yes. - 1,000-dollar-worth gifts.
We should have three worries today. Let's see...
what they are.
("Meat Lover","Identity Crisis" and "Family War")
"Meat Lover".
Hello.
Which accent is that?
- Gyeongsang Province? - Gyeongsang Province.
- Gyeongsang Province. Okay. - Yes.
He will change it into Gangwon Province dialect later.
No, I won't.
Then he will move to Yanbian later.
Hello.
I am a housewife in her 50s who is being tortured.
The person who tortures me every day is...
my 18-year-old daughter.
Listen carefully. It sounds like, "I have your daughter with me."
My daughter is too into meat.
Meat?
She's almost addicted to meat.
When she wakes up in the morning, she says...
"Mum, grill me pork belly."
"Give me meat!"
At midnight when she comes home from tutoring, she says...
"Mum, I am hungry. Grill me sirloin."
Oh, dear.
She's a lucky girl.
"How can you eat meat so late at night?"
(She chews meat.)
"There's no right time to eat meat."
"Hurry up and grill it."
I grill meat morning and night.
And she now even texts me from school.
"Mum, there's no meat in the school meal."
"Grill some marinated pork and bring it to school."
No way.
Then I hurriedly grill meat and take it to her school.
- She deserves to win. - I am so tired...
from cooking meat for my daughter all year around.
- No way. - Gosh...
I couldn't go on any longer, so I declared war against meat.
"Honey, there will be no meat in this house from now on."
I have your daughter.
Who are you?
I have your daughter.
"There is no meat."
"Just eat with what we have."
"What? Then I won't eat."
She starved and went on a hunger strike.
And she ended up collapsing.
- She only eats meat. - No way.
I am so worried that something bad will happen to her.
My daughter would rather die than to live without meat.
Please, fix her.
(That's a problem.)
She sent us the letter...
because she would do anything for her daughter...
- to change her diet. - She's desperate.
She sent us the letter with a resolute determination.
So you must help her.
Listen to her carefully.
Let's bring her in first.
- Please come on out. - Please come on out.
(Who is the mother with a carnivore daughter?)
There she is.
(Choi Mi Young)
(What is he doing?)
(Come on, Madam.)
Oh, dear.
It looks like you are the one who ate all the meat.
Right.
I'm glad to see her for some reason.
Please, tell us more about it.
How does your daughter eat meat every meal?
My daughter eats meat every meal.
She eats sirloin, smoked duck, chicken, pork ribs,
- pork belly... - She doesn't eat anything else?
She only eats meat?
She eats white rice.
She eats meat with white rice?
I asked her to prepare a video.
Let's see how she eats.
Let's watch it.
Her daughter didn't know that she was being filmed, right?
- Right. - Look at the meat.
It's marinated meat.
(At 7am, she grills meat.)
(Sighing)
- What time is it? - Stop eating.
It's 7am.
- It's 7am. - Yes.
- In the morning? - But...
there's no other side dish.
How is that possible?
(Even on weekends, she eats meat.)
(As she sighs, she seasons the meat.)
(There's no sign of green.)
Before she goes dancing, she needs to eat.
- There's only rice and meat. - There's nothing else.
- There's no other dish. - There's nothing else.
Isn't it too greasy?
She eats like that in the morning?
Yes.
What happens if you don't give her that?
There will be a war that day.
- It will be crazy. - Oh dear.
She will throw a temper tantrum.
- A tantrum? - How does she act?
- Please show us how she acts. - Like this?
"Bring me meat!"
- Oh, dear. - She really does that.
Also, she throws...
things around her.
And she doesn't go to school.
She insists that she won't go to school.
By the way,
she loves to eat meat like that,
yet she never grills it herself.
- Oh, dear. - She is spoiled.
I even have to grill meat for her after midnight.
Wouldn't you be asleep by then?
I have to get up even if I were sleeping.
- She wakes you up? - Yes. "Mum, give me meat."
- "I am hungry." - Or she'll throw a tantrum?
- She acts like she's the boss. - You could just ignore her.
Then she throws a tantrum.
Of course, I tried ignoring her demands.
She then threw a temper tantrum and cried.
Then she went on a hunger strike.
She didn't eat anything at all?
She refused eating and starved for three days.
- How can she survive three days? - She did.
She collapsed in the elevator.
- In how many days? - On the third day.
- So she didn't eat anything. - In the afternoon...
You know what's even worse?
As soon as she was conscious again, she said,
"I am hungry, so bring me some grilled meat."
- She's... - That's after three days?
By the way, her daughter looks...
- so quiet and gentle. - She's lovely.
We watched the video too.
- She's thin too. - Let's meet her.
- Hello. - It's her.
- Hello. - Hello.
- She's really thin. - Yes.
Can you get up once?
- She's thin. - How can you...
- No way. - Turn around.
- After eating so much meat? - She's thin.
- I should eat meat. - It's like...
her mum's eating it all.
She's still too young.
You love meat that much, by the way?
Yes. I don't think I can live without meat.
I think I'm going to die without meat.
You can't eat other things?
I can't eat anything else. When I eat vegetables,
I throw up.
It doesn't suit my body, so I keep looking for meat.
If you like meat, you could grill it yourself.
Why do you have to make your mum do it?
- You can grill it. - I can't tell if the meat's cooked.
- She is spoiled. - I know.
Do you eat hamburgers?
No, there are vegetables in them.
- There's meat patty inside. - Because of the vegetables?
There are vegetables inside.
- I see. - You could take them out.
You don't eat burgers because of...
- the vegetables? - I had my first burger in...
high school. I ate it without vegetables.
- Just the meat and buns? - Yes. Only the buns and patty.
Really? What if...
cabbage and meat are stir-fried together?
- They are mixed. - What if they're stir-fried?
- How about gopchang? - I never eat that.
- You only eat meat. - The meat would lose its flavour.
(For her, meat is sacred.)
You don't eat spicy pork either?
- You don't even eat kimchi? - No, I don't.
- You've never eaten it? - Never.
- I've never had it. - How about doenjang jjigae?
- I don't eat doenjang jjigae. - Really?
How about ramyeon?
I eat ramyeon. I eat noodles.
- You eat noodles. - She eats noodles.
Do you cook ramyeon yourself or not?
I normally don't cook it.
What do you do?
She acts up.
By the way,
- she really never eats vegetables? - No.
- Does she throw up? - One time,
I told her that I won't...
give her any meat unless she eats vegetables.
So she forced herself to eat some.
- She ran to the bathroom and... - Threw up?
shoved her finger into her throat and...
- forced herself to... - She threw up intentionally.
She forced herself to throw up.
So it's not that her body can't take vegetables.
No. I've really thrown up before,
and I've intentionally thrown up to show her.
- Why would you do that? - Why break her heart?
- Why did you throw a tantrum? - I wanted to...
show her how much I hate eating vegetables.
She was forcing me to eat them.
I should eat whatever I want to eat.
- But... - I don't have to eat what I hate.
You got bad habits.
(She's a stubborn one.)
All right. Let's meet the rest of the family.
Hello, Sir.
- Hello. - Hello.
(How does he feel?)
Has she ever...
thrown a tantrum in front of you?
- She does all the time. - Oh, dear.
- I see it a lot. - How does she act?
- And you let her do that? - You let her be like that?
- You should scold her. - I scold her.
Even if I scold her,
the result is bad. As a parent,
- I just lose to her. - You have to lose to her.
It's hard to argue with your child.
- She even faints. - I know.
So there is no way.
But... Let's listen to what his second daughter has to say.
She's your second daughter, right?
- You will be mistaken. - Yes, that's right.
Can you relate to your mother's worry?
- Yes. - She tortures her younger sister.
- Really? - Have you seen your sister...
getting upset at your mum for not cooking meat for her?
- I've seen it a lot. - How is it? How bad is it?
- It's serious. - It's serious.
Your answers are too short.
(Can you talk longer?)
How old are you?
I'm 14 years old.
- I see. - I see.
(Now they understand why.)
- It's a critical period. - You're at that state.
- You didn't want to come, did you? - What?
- You didn't want to come here. - What?
Okay.
(I'm sorry.)
Of course.
You should be just thankful...
that she came out here.
Does she ever make you grill meat when Mum's not around?
Yes. She asks me to cook.
Why would you do it for her? You shouldn't do that.
She swears at me if I don't.
She swears at you?
She curses at me.
I don't know if it's right.
We thought the viewers need to see the truth.
We have prepared...
a meat feast for her.
It will be filled with meat dishes only.
- She's so happy. - Look how happy she is.
We prepared it.
Please, bring it in.
(Here comes a table filled with meat dishes.)
- That's it. - Come on down.
- I can't believe it. - Come on.
Gosh, pork ribs...
- Have a seat. - Come here.
- There are vegetables here. - She's so happy.
It's like her birthday.
Try the food.
- Choose what you want to eat. - It's embarrassing.
She went for the grilled meat first.
(Will it suit her particular taste?)
- Is it good? - She loves meat.
It's good, right?
- It's good? - Wow...
- We sometimes get food because... - Usually people don't eat well.
- we have an in-house chef. - She eats well.
- Do you have some rice? - You...
She wants to eat rice too.
- She wants meat with rice. - Meat with rice.
Do we have some rice?
(She gets the rice.)
- You got your rice. - The marinated meat is good.
The marinated one is good.
You don't like these sesame seeds?
- Water. - Water?
She's unbelievable.
She's the boss.
- Seriously. - She's the boss.
(She instantly makes everyone her servant.)
You should kneel down.
You're treating celebrities like your servants.
(My daughter is always the same.)
She has her place.
She didn't even say it nicely. She said, "Water."
- You don't eat fruits either? - I had her when I was 39.
You had her really late.
- You don't want it? - No.
- You did everything she asked. - Children are all precious,
- but I did everything she asked. - You spoiled her.
She doesn't do anything now. She's a princess.
- Oh, dear. - How come she only eats meat?
Try this.
- No. - That's it.
- Why don't you want it? - Someone should've stopped her.
Then give me money.
Or I will give you vegetables.
Give me money!
Or I will give you vegetables!
- Yes. - You hate it that much?
Yes.
Then what if you met...
the man of your dream,
and he wanted to break up with you...
because you don't eat vegetables?
(Hold on.)
She's really thinking.
- She's serious. - It's a man she's in love with.
Is there a celebrity you like?
- I like Jo Kwon. - Let's say it's Jo Kwon.
Let's say you are getting married to Jo Kwon.
- Just... - And Jo Kwon says...
that he won't marry you if you don't eat vegetables.
What if he says that?
You're still eating?
Okay. Take this with you...
and eat some more.
We will clean it up.
- Can I take the rice too? - Take the rice too.
- It must be really good. - Take water too.
Please clean the table.
I will clean it.
How does the marinated one taste?
- Look at this. - I will clear this.
(Let's just get rid of this.)
I'm eating it.
(She doesn't lose her focus.)
(She knows the taste of meat.)
I'm going to eat it for lunch.
The problem is not just a lot of meat.
She also has difficulty controlling her temper. She's young, but...
she's already a junior in high school.
It seems like she's immature at handling her emotions.
- Right. - One time,
with my youngest daughter...
- The three of you. - Yes, the three of us...
were eating about...
four servings of marinated pork ribs.
And her eyes changed.
She didn't like that she had to...
share the meat with us. So she ended up throwing...
- chopsticks at her sister. - That's bad.
I scolded her very harshly. And...
she threw a tantrum saying that I adopted her and...
behaved really badly in front of her little sister.
She swore, cried and went inside her room.
Why did you throw the chopsticks and go to your room?
When Mum and my sister joined, my portion became small.
So I was naturally upset. I wanted to eat too.
You have to share. How can you eat everything?
But they can eat other things too.
I can only eat meat though.
You know, there's something...
that really made me sad.
One time, I was really sick.
I was lying down whole day, and I couldn't eat anything.
She came home at night and asked me to grill meat.
- When you were sick? - Yes, I was sick.
So I asked her if she could bear one day without meat.
And she said, "How can I grow up well..."
"in a family like this? I want to eat meat, and..."
She was upset that...
You think she can live well in a family like this?
I feel sorry, but...
after all, it's her loss if I don't get to eat.
I would get sick and...
It's your loss. Why is it your mum's loss?
She has to take me to see a doctor.
Then she will get to spend more for the hospital.
- Looking at her now... - She may...
love eating meat that much.
But she's suffering from irritable bowel syndrome...
- and severe anemia. - Anemia!
- Yes. - Because she lacks iron.
So she gets admitted to the hospital once or twice a year.
Since I am a mother,
- You must feel so bad. - knowing how bad it is for her,
I can't help myself but to feed her.
I keep giving her meat.
By the way, she needs to realise it.
A while ago, she said...
it's her parents' loss if she gets sick.
That's a very immature thought.
Aren't you really worried about your health?
I am worried,
but I'm doing this because of stress.
- Stress? - Yes.
- What stress? - In primary school, I studied well.
But starting from middle school, my grades started to go down.
Whenever that happens,
Mum tells me to go out and die.
Because of the pressure, I eat meat to relieve stress.
So you think Mum provides the cause?
- Yes. - That's not true.
Is that why you think Mum has to cook for you...
no matter how late it is.
Yes, of course.
(Oh, dear.)
By the way,
you came here not because of her grades but because of her health.
Yes. Yes.
We asked...
the experts about her health.
If you only eat meat...
According to the doctors, she got irritable bowel syndrome...
and anemia because...
she didn't eat vegetables.
And if she continues to...
only eat meat, she can get stomach or colorectal cancer.
The chance of getting cancer will be much higher.
Even after hearing that you can get cancer,
do you still hate eating vegetables?
- Yes. - But you can get cancer.
I haven't been eating vegetables,
and because of the memory of throwing up, I am scared.
- All right. - You only want meat.
Do you eat beans?
- No. - No?
- You only want meat? - You hate beans?
Actually, the meat you are enjoying right now...
- It's fake. - The meat you're enjoying...
is...
made with beans.
(This is made with...)
(beans?)
- It's meat made with beans. - It's a success!
(Unbelievable)
Ma'am.
We wouldn't feed her...
- meat again. - Of course not.
- Right? - She kept eating beans.
(She kept eating it.)
(The ingredients of these dishes were...)
(various healthy vegetables.)
(They were cooked with love...)
(so that she can enjoy them.)
Is it tasty?
- She is eating it. - It's tasty, right?
It must be tasty.
- She looks devastated. - I think she is shocked.
You didn't throw up this time.
Beans are vegetable, but you enjoyed the dishes.
It proves that this is a psychological problem.
- That's right. - You say you can't eat vegetables,
but if the dishes genuinely suit your taste,
you can enjoy them.
Every dish on the table was made with beans.
- Really? - Yes.
- Even the sausages. - They were beans.
- There was no meat dish. - Your thoughts control you.
How does knowing the truth make you feel?
- I am annoyed. - You are annoyed?
- Why? - You said you liked them.
You enjoyed the dishes.
They were made of beans.
- You still found them delicious. - You liked them though.
- They were good, but... - Okay.
now that I know that they were made of beans,
- I don't want to eat them anymore. - Why does it matter?
All of a sudden?
Try eating it now.
I don't want to.
They are actually made of meat.
(I won't fall for another trick.)
It's meat.
Would you eat them if Jo Kwon asked you to?
Just a little bit.
- Just a little bit? - She will give it a try.
If Jo Kwon made you a lettuce wrap with meat inside,
you would eat it, right?
Well... I would give it a try.
This is why we've invited a special guest.
(No way.)
We went out of our ways...
to invite a popular celebrity.
Hello, Jo Kwon.
Hello.
(Screaming)
We are on a real-time video call with Jo Kwon.
- It seems like he's in a car. - Right.
You heard everything, right?
- Yes, I did. - All right.
Min Joo, you should eat vegetables for your health.
I prepared some lettuce for you.
(Please, don't do that.)
(Jo Kwon's love for his fan fills the studio.)
I will make you a lettuce wrap.
Seriously?
- He will make her a lettuce wrap. - Open wide.
(It feels like he will jump out of a screen.)
Everyone, imagine that we are living in the future.
Imagine that an object can be transferred through a screen.
- That's right. - Like four-dimensional space.
- It's like the virtual reality. - That's right.
It will be an amazing experience. Come on out, Min Joo.
(She approaches the screen.)
What an idea.
Seriously.
Sit here.
Let's see.
- Sit. - Jo Kwon...
will give you a lettuce wrap from behind.
- All right. - You should eat it, okay?
- Let's go. - Min Joo, open wide.
- Open wide. - Get it closer to the camera.
- Give her the wrap.
Closer.
The lettuce wrap is here.
Eat it.
- Eat it. - Come on.
There is meat inside.
- Eat it. - You can do it.
Jo Kwon is watching.
- Jo Kwon is watching. - Start chewing.
- Jo Kwon is watching. - Jo Kwon, praise her.
- You can do it. - Jo Kwon is watching.
She is eating it.
Eat it.
- She is eating it. - She needs to swallow it.
- Swallow. - Begin chewing.
- My goodness. - Chew your food.
- That's right. - Like this.
There you go.
Chew it.
(I should have never liked Jo Kwon.)
It's tasty.
Show Jo Kwon that you are enjoying it.
Enjoy the wrap for Jo Kwon.
- Open wide. - Min Joo, you can do it.
- Did she finish it? - She hasn't swallowed it.
- Eat it. - It's okay. You can do it.
- You can do it. - Cheer for her, Jo Kwon.
- Say, "You got this." - If...
If you finish that wrap, I will buy you meat.
I will buy you meat.
My goodness.
She is eating it.
- She is eating it. - My goodness.
Show him that you finished it.
- Chew. - You need to finish it.
- You are doing great. - It must be hard for her.
The beginning is the hardest.
- She's not used to vegetables. - You can do it.
- You are doing great. - She can get used to it.
She is doing her very best.
If you want, we can get you more rice or meat.
I can tell that Min Joo is very sensitive.
I think she finished the wrap.
- She is set in her ways. - She finished the wrap.
She finished it.
She is very courageous.
- She finished it. - My goodness.
She did it for Jo Kwon.
(She finished the wrap with a drink of water.)
You did a great job.
All right.
(Waving)
- To us... - He's putting it in his mouth.
(This is my congratulatory ceremony.)
(Thank you.)
- All right. - That was great.
Thank you, Jo Kwon.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Min Joo did a great job.
(Clapping)
Ma'am, if there is something you would like to say to Min Joo,
take this opportunity to do so.
Min Joo, your father and I...
love you very much.
I will not tell you to stop eating meat,
but if you can eat meat in moderation...
and consume vegetables as well, it would be lovely.
I love you, my daughter.
(My lovely daughter, stay healthy.)
Jo Han, press the button if you think it's a worry.
I absolutely think it's a worry.
He thinks it's a worry.
What about you, Jun Hee?
I also think it's a worry.
When I was young,
my parents spoiled me.
I was exactly like her when I was young.
That explains why I don't like you.
She threw a temper tantrum in the waiting room earlier.
No, I did not!
I changed...
after reading a long letter...
my mother had written.
I cried a lot and decided to work hard to change my ways.
One day, Min Joo will have to...
survive on her own in the society.
And things will be very hard for her if she doesn't change.
She also needs to take care of her health.
Cheetah.
I also think it's a worry.
(It's a worry.)
- Yes. - Sang Moo, it's your turn.
I think...
it's a worry.
But I hope she can use her eating habit to her advantage.
Since she has eaten more meat than anyone else,
she must be knowledgeable about the taste.
I think she should start...
- a restaurant franchise. - For goodness' sake.
Or she can publish a guidebook...
that lists restaurants she highly praises.
I think it's a good idea.
Her restaurant will be named "Temper Tantrum".
(Temper Tantrum)
She will throw a tantrum if customers don't finish the food.
She can do that.
If you think it's a worry,

(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
My goodness.
Time's up.
- Did you listen to the sound? - Many people pressed the button.
It is a big worry.
That's right. Min Joo. Look at your mother in the eye.
Mum, I don't think I can eat less meat, but...
I promise that I'll try...
eating fruits and vegetables.
Min Joo, since quitting meat is impossible,
it might be a good idea to eat both mock meat and real meat.
No, I will continue to eat real meat.
You are so stubborn.
I am sorry. I almost got angry.
I won't ask my mum to bring meat to school.
That's not an acceptable behaviour anyway.
All right.
I wonder how many votes her story got.
"His Loving Way"...
got 174 votes last week.
Will the votes be over 174?
Show us the result.
This is exciting.
My goodness.
She will become the winner if she gets 176 votes.
It could be 156 or 166.
- Let's see it. - It's 176!
("Meat Lover" takes a win.)
(This is unbelievable.)
"Meat Lover" takes the throne.
("Meat Lover" takes the throne.)
They look like a married couple.
Seriously.
(My goodness.)
Look at them.
The next story is "Identity Crisis".
Hello.
(Hello)
I'm a father of a child who is a senior in high school.
When people see my child, they give high praises.
"What a handsome young man."
"You have a good-looking son."
"Your son is so full of life. What a manly man."
They say praises about your child are music to your ears,
but they only break my heart.
My child...
is a girl.
My goodness.
This happens when I go out with my daughter.
"Honey, look. Is that a boy?"
"Can't you tell? Of course he is a boy."
"It's a girl."
"Look at her chest."
When people look at my daughter and whisper among themselves,
I get very angry.
Even though her classmates wear skirts for school uniform,
she insists on wearing trousers.
She even got the two-block cut,
which is a trendy men's hairstyle.
It makes her look like a boy.
She once worked part-time at a restaurant.
"Here is your order of meat."
"Please enjoy it."
Then people would pat her bottom and say,
"What an energetic young man."
(I am a 19-year-old girl.)
- They did that to a girl. - I know.
Thinking that she is a boy, people pat her bottom.
Even I am getting confused.
My daughter acts like a son.
What should I do?
Frustration drove me to submit my worry.
Please, help.
(Please, help.)
Let's meet the father who is worried about his daughter.
Please, come on out.
(Who is worried about a daughter who acts like a son?)
(Lee Seung Kyu)
- Welcome. - My goodness.
(It's rare for a father to visit the show because of his daughter.)
He must be very worried to visit the show.
When did she start to dress like a man?
She has always had a more masculine personality.
When she was a primary schooler, she only wore football cleats.
She wanted to play football with the boys at school.
- My goodness. - She also sounds like a boy.
- Really? - Yes, she has a husky voice.
How husky is it?
Even I get confused sometimes when I hear her voice.
I sometimes don't know if I have a son or a daughter.
You get confused, too?
- Is it that confusing? - Sometimes,
I treat her like a son.
- Give us an example. - "You jerk."
"I told you to get it done. Get in the plank position."
- You say that to your daughter. - I see.
You treat her like a son.
Yes. I started to treat her like that...
- It became a habit. - because she looks like a boy.
- Let's meet his daughter... - I can't wait to see her.
and find out what she looks like. We normally seat family members...
- in the front row. But today, - Okay.
- we have no idea where she is. - Really?
She is sitting in the audience.
- I knew it. - That's right.
Family members and important personnel...
usually sit in the front row.
So I looked, but I couldn't locate anyone who fits the description.
We don't know where she is seated.
I thought she was that young student with the glasses on.
She isn't sitting in the front row.
He is obviously a real boy.
It would be ridiculous if he were the daughter.
Then we would be faced with a serious worry.
I am unable to locate her.
Is she hiding among the audience?
- She is in the audience. - Where is she?
Everyone, take a look around.
- All right. - Let's look for her.
- Her hair is short, right? - Yes.
Find someone with short hair.
I think I found her.
- Over there. - Where?
That person wearing glasses.
Please raise your hand.
Yes.
- I think you're right. - No way.
- Is that the daughter? - That person is a guy.
What about the one in the back with the blonde hair?
- Sorry? - Over there.
- Please raise your hand. - The one with short hair.
You might be right.
- I think I located her. - Is it her?
- That person is a man. - It's a woman.
- No, that person is a woman. - Are we correct?
That person is a man.
- Are you a man? - Really?
- Let's keep on looking. - That person is a man.
- He's a man. - Where is she?
Everyone, stop talking for a second.
I think we located her earlier.
Is it the person wearing glasses?
- I think we found her. - She is still in high school.
Me?
She even has a two-block haircut. It's a popular hairstyle for men.
It makes her look like a boy.
- I think we found her. - She is in high school.
- Are we right? - It's you, right?
- Are you the daughter? - It is her.
It is her.
- My goodness. - We found her.
- Is that the daughter? - She said we're right.
Let's bring her to the front row.
We thought you might be exaggerating,
- but she does look like a boy. - She is a senior in high school.
- I see. - She's a senior in high school?
- She is a senior in high school. - She looks a lot younger.
- She looks young. - Hello.
Hello.
- My goodness. - She has a deep voice.
- Her voice surprised me. - She talks like a guy, too.
Please tell us how you feel about being on the show.
I still don't understand why I am here.
I understand it just fine.
Your father told us that you act like a boy.
You even have a boy's hairstyle. Why is that?
It's not that I try to look like a boy.
I have a friend with whom I take taekwondo lessons.
She showed up one day with a two-block haircut.
- Is your friend a boy or a girl? - A girl.
The hairstyle looked cool on a girl,
so I got the same haircut. I am so glad I did...
because it's so effortless.
I wear trousers to school instead of a skirt.
But since my hair is short and I look weird in a skirt.
I wear trousers because they are more comfortable.
(That's how she ended up looking like a high school boy.)
There lies the problem. Often,
a woman's actions are dictated by her desire to look pretty.
- That's right. - But she focuses on...
comfort and her own satisfaction.
That's why she looks like that. She thinks like a boy.
- You are right. - Right.
Even the way she talks is fast and carefree.
Do you think that you are like a boy?
No, I don't.
I have short hair and a husky voice,
but that doesn't mean I am like a boy.
I think I am perfectly ordinary.
(You aren't ordinary.)
I have androgynous features.
People could get confused.
It's possible they may get confused.
But this hairstyle is very convenient.
It only takes me a minute to get ready.
- It must be very convenient. - If she is happy,
- it shouldn't be a problem. - Objectively speaking,
she looks like a middle school boy.
- I run an internet cafe. - Okay.
Every boy who comes in looks like her.
(Every boy who comes in looks like her.)
I am serious.
- I'm not kidding. - High school seniors should be...
focused on their studies but girls are usually interested in makeup.
Are you interested in makeup?
I am interested, but I don't wear makeup.
- Is it because it doesn't suit you? - Why not?
- I bet she is afraid to try. - I know.
I have never worn makeup before...
and I don't particularly want to.
Perhaps you lack the courage to try.
- It could be that. - You are not used to it.
- I wear makeup. - You wear a lot of makeup.
I wear a lot of makeup and paint my nails.
- You wear jewelry, too. - That's right.
- I wear jewelry. - Like earrings.
I do inconvenience myself to look pretty.
I want to look pretty...
even though I love the comfort.
Don't you want to try on makeup like Cheetah?
Not really.
- "Not really." - I see.
You aren't a picky eater, are you?
- No, I am not. - Do you like meat?
Then you have nothing to worry about.
At least she eats vegetables.
Her long hair is like lettuce to Min Joo.
That could be true.
- Let's talk to the family members. - Okay.
- Are you her mother? - Yes.
- Hello, it's nice to meet you. - Hello.
Does your daughter seem like a girl or a boy?
I think she seems like a girl more often than not.
- What does her brother think? - When she calls me names...
or threatens to beat me up, she seems like a boy.
Are you her sister?
She looks like a boy because her hair is short.
Do you wish your sister would look like a girl?
Yes, I want to go shopping with her.
That's understandable.
I want to hang out with her.
Why don't you hang out with your little sister?
Little girls like to play house with dolls.
I think it's cringe-worthy and boring.
You have to act, too. "Let's have a party. What should I wear?"
I avoided playing with her because it's embarrassing.
That's why I got used to not playing with her.
It's more fun to fight with my brother.
- She thinks it's fun to fight. - What do you like to do?
- What does she like to do? - I like sports.
- What kind of sports? - I play badminton. I learned kendo.
I also have a third degree black belt in taekwondo.
- A third degree black belt? - Really?
Really? Would you give us a demonstration?
- A demonstration? - Yes.
Please come on up and give us a demonstration.
(Expectant)
She's going to break the boards.
- Please give us a demonstration. - That sounds good.
- Let me start with one board. - Okay.
- That's more than enough.
Will you do this...
- with your bare hands? - You're not going to wear gloves?
Is it normal for helpers to wear gloves?
- Aren't these gloves for her? - Come on.
- Put on some gloves. - People usually...
break boards with their bare hands.
It's hard for even a man to break three boards.
- It's going to be difficult. - Can she do this?
(She will break three boards.)
- You can do this. - I don't think she can do it?
(She gives a shout of concentration.)
(She breaks the board...)
(with ease.)
(Impressed)
Break the rest of the boards.
Can you do it?
- My goodness. - Let's go.
- Can you break four boards? - Break them all before you go.
- How many boards are there? - You can do this.
- Don't push yourself. - It's impossible.
- She can't break five boards. - That's too hard.
- I'll give it a try. - Break them with your feet.
Kick them.
- Let's go. - Are you sure about this?
- Yes. - Really?
- Show us what you can do. - Let's go.
(Can she break four boards with a kick?)
(A clean break)
(She broke the boards with a nice kick.)
There are only two boards left.
(She breaks the two boards as well.)
She is very strong.
(Her strong punches and precise kicks...)
(destroyed the wooden boards.)
- She is good. - She is a talented girl.
How does it make you feel...
to watch your daughter break wooden boards with ease?
- I clapped but I was crying inside. - Gosh.
Since she is my daughter,
I want her to take up a feminine hobby like knitting.
(Knitting is a feminine hobby.)
- I want her to try it. - Knitting?
Did you say knitting?
- Who knits these days? - Girls these days...
Sir, please stop.
I have a question.
What is your hobby?
- What is your hobby? - Do you knit?
I have a feminine hobby.
- What is it? - I like decorating the house.
- You like decorating the house? - Yes.
I make cushions like this one here.
- Really? - I also embroider.
You want your daughter to have a feminine hobby,
but your hobby isn't exactly masculine.
I only do it at home when I am alone.
It makes me feel good.
- I see. - Okay.
I understand.
Sure.
Why don't you do it in front of other people?
- I am not embarrassed... - Okay.
but I just want to enjoy it alone.
Are you telling us the truth?
- Yes. - Are you really not embarrassed?
- No, I'm not. - Wouldn't you be embarrassed...
to be doing needlework in a car or a bus?
I wouldn't do it in a car.
You can prick yourself with a needle.
I see.
It's more convenient to do it at home.
Isn't it strange to see your father do needlework...
- at home? - It is a bit strange...
because he is a big man.
But I respect his personal preference.
I am used to it.
Doesn't it make you want to try?
- No. - His works must be pretty.
- No? - No. I hate doing needlework.
- She hates it. - You know,
if you let go of stereotypes regarding gender,
it might be possible to accept her tastes and preferences.
There was a shocking incident.
My daughter can't sing. She is tone-deaf.
- Is that so? - That is perfectly normal.
- That's right. - I said she should dance...
and not sing.
Since she is a high school girl,
I expected her to know a few dance moves from female idol singers.
When I saw her dance, I was shocked.
- Why? - What happened?
She dances like a boy.
It was a ridiculous dance.
- It was ridiculous? - Yes.
You should see her dance.
- Should we ask her to dance? - Yes.
Would you show us your dance?
It seems like your dance surprised your father.
This is an opportunity...
to show everyone that you're a good dancer.
You can dance right there.
That sounds good.
You can dance right there.
Turn on the music.
Try to look sexy.
(She is adorable.)
- She's so cute! - Look at her legs.
In 2, 3, 4.
(She's trying really hard.)
- Jun Hee, show us a sexy dance. - She dances well.
Copy us, okay?
(Will she be able to do a sexy dance?)
(How about this?)
- Try to copy her. - Try it!
(Can she do it?)
(Maybe not.)
(I'll just do a cute dance.)
She can't do it.
She looks awkward.
(I like this dance.)
- She's cute. - She is.
- She's cute. - She can't do a sexy dance.
She's still cute.
- She can't do a sexy dance. - She's cute.
- That wasn't the dance. - Really?
- That was it. - Could you show us the dance?
- Could you... - Could you show us the dance?
- Please.
(Getting up)
- He's the one who wanted to dance. - That's not it.
(He just wanted to dance.)
- Please show us the dance. - Did you knit this sweater?
No, I didn't.
Please show us the dance.
Turn on the music.
(Wiggling)
(Does your body itch?)
- Really? - Really?
(He is twisting and turning.)
I have never danced like that.
- She said she's never done that. - She has.
Excuse me.
(You can stop dancing now.)
Could you show us your dance?
- Show us your own dance. - Your own dance.
- Show us your dance. - Your own moves.
Turn on the music.
(He is suddenly taking off...)
(his clothes.)
Why is he taking off his sweater?
(Thumping)
(This dance was...)
(popular in 1988. The dance brings back memories.)
(He brings the dance to 2016.)
(My heart is beating.)
(He's dancing passionately.)
(Laughing too hard)
- That was amazing. - That was nostalgic.
- That was a really old dance. - He is old.
- I'm speechless. - Me too.
I think you're the problem, not your daughter.
I think you should be worried about your father.
- Come back next week. - Switch seats with your dad.
They need to switch seats.
I think everyone here will agree that your dancing is a worry.
Your daughter looks rather cute when she dances.
- She is really cute. - She is.
There is nothing to worry about, is there?
- It's one of her charms. - She was very cute.
Does your dad worry you?
He is too cheerful.
We thought so, too.
(We could tell.)
That's one of my worries.
You think he is too cheerful?
Dad wants me to act more like a lady.
However when he comes out of the shower,
he walks around the house naked.
(They are lost for words.)
- But Dad... - He still does that?
- He did it today. - Does he only wear a shirt?
Did he do that this morning?
- She's a high school senior! - Right.
- The dad has a serious issue! - Why are you naked at home?
- She's a senior in high school! - I wanted...
to reduce her curiosity about the opposite sex.
I was trying to teach her.
But I think that this may have lead her to act more like a boy.
- Of course. - She's at an age when she should...
be very curious about those things.
But if her father walks around home naked, I don't think...
she would be curious anymore. She's seen everything.
- That could be true. - Of course.
- Do you think this is true? - Aren't you curious anymore.
- I'm curious to a certain extent. - I see.
- But...
I like knitting.
(He dances passionately.)
He walks around the house naked.
(He gave us something else to worry about.)
Let's meet some of her friends.
Hello.
Do you think this is a worry?
I can understand where they're coming from.
There are a lot of people who treat her like a boy.
She has a big shepherd dog.
- It's her dog? - Yes.
Once we were taking the dog for a walk.
We were carrying a plastic bag and the dog was leashed.
Suddenly someone cursed at her and then told her off...
for walking with a big dog.
I think people treat her harshly because they think she's a boy.
I feel bad for her.
This had never happened before but one day she called me...
- in tears and said that... - Okay.
- she'd been treated unfairly. - Why?
I was shocked, so I went to see her immediately.
She had made a complaint at the restaurant because...
they served some leftover food.
The manager of the restaurant called her outside...
and was about to pull her into a storage room.
- Into a storage room? - Yes.
The manager said to her "Do you want to die?"
"Don't you dare come back."
"If you spread any rumours I will make you pay."
- He told her off very harshly. - Is that true?
So I told the manager,
"How could you say that to a girl?"
He shouldn't have treated anyone that way.
The manager was shocked.
He thought she was a boy.
He can't treat a boy like that either.
Since she looks like a boy,
I'm worried something worse will happen to her.
I think it'd be better if she dressed more like a girl.
You must be worried.
My daughter is about to take the college entrance exam.
Her dream is to study radiology...
and become a radiologist.
- Is that her dream? - Radiologists work with women.
The patients will be naked when you examine them...
- for breast cancer. - They might think she's a man.
If a woman looks too masculine, she might not get the job.
- That worries you. - If she doesn't pass...
the interview and isn't given the chance to work,
I'm worried she would have to give up her dream.
That's a real worry.
What do you think? Do you think your dad is right?
Do you think your looks shouldn't matter?
I hope he doesn't worry about something that's far in the future.
Rather than being concerned about one's looks,
developing one's character and gaining knowledge are more...
- important. - That is true.
I don't want to work at a place that judges people by their looks.
- Gosh. - In radiology, patients...
- have to take their shirts off. - Right.
I wouldn't feel comfortable undressing in front of you.
- I can see why she'd hesitate now. - Yes.
How about putting on some lipstick?
I do put it on sometimes...
- but it's too much work. - It's just you're not used to it.
- You haven't tried it. - It's because she's never done it.
To you, lipsticks are like eating vegetables for Min Joo.
It's like eating meat substitute.
I hope she grows out her hair.
It's spring,
so I hope she will start to wear pretty skirts.
I want people to see her and say,
"Your daughter is pretty."
That's my wish.
He wants to hear that his daughter is pretty.
Is this something you'd like to try?
Do you want to try putting on pretty clothes and put on makeup?
To an extent, yes.
I see. We actually invited a makeup professional...
and stylist so that we can give you a makeover.
Don't throw a tantrum if you don't like the way you look.
(Throwing a tantrum is prohibited.)
- Please give her a makeover. - I can't wait to see her.
Please come down here.
She's adorable.
While your daughter is getting a makeover,
- we'll ask our guests to vote. - Okay.
I'm sure he's worried,
but I don't think it's a worry.
I don't think it's a worry.
I don't think it's a worry either.
It isn't.
When we asked her to try a new look,
she didn't totally hate the idea.
- She didn't react negatively. - It wasn't like that.
She is only scared. But if you suggest her...
- to put on makeup, - Give her some to try on.
I think she can become more feminine as she tries on girly clothes...
and tries putting on makeup herself.
Having a daughter like her would make me happy.
Are you comparing her to Min Joo?
Yes, of course.
You're a lucky man.
Please press the button if you think it's a worry.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
- Stop. - Time is up.
Please show us the result.
(The result is announced.)
Let's see how many votes it received.
- I don't think it's over 100 votes. - It's 42 votes.
(Eliminated)
I'm sure she will become more feminine in the future.
Your daughter has gotten a makeover and is backstage.
I hope she looks okay.
Please come out.
(Please come out!)
Where is she?
(Did his daughter become more feminine...)
(just as he had hoped?)
Where is she?
She looks pretty.
(Wow! My goodness!)
- She looks pretty. - She looks cute.
She looks pretty.
(She has long hair and is wearing a pink dress.)
She looks pretty.
(She is a quintessential female beauty.)
- She looks pretty. - Look how pretty she is!
I'm lost for words.
- She looks pretty. - She is so pretty.
She looks pretty.
- Straighten your back. - You look cute!
Keep your shoes on.
Jun Hee, teach her how to walk.
Jun Hee, could you give her a hand?
- Try to walk like a lady. - Keep your back straight.
- Can you teach her? - Don't walk like that.
- Walk like this. - Keep your legs together.
- Help her with her posture. - Keep your legs together.
- That's it. - She looks good walking like that.
Jun Hee, could you teach her how to walk in heels?
- Come this way. - Is it her first time in heels?
That's right.
(She's determined and walks with more confidence.)
- You're doing great. - Straighten your posture.
Doesn't she look pretty?
- She looks great. - Straighten your posture.
- Let's switch the glasses. - She's cute even with glasses on.
She'll look more feminine with different glasses on.
Look ahead.
She looks more feminine, right?
- She's cute! - Yes, she is.
- You look cute. - Buy her glasses like those.
- Her glasses are too big. - Right.
Her glasses make her look like an old man.
I will buy you a new pair of glasses.
- I'll choose one for you. - Look how cute she is.
(Thank you.)
Let's ask her brother first.
- What do you think of your sister? - Doesn't she look pretty?
She looks strange.
I'm sure she looks strange to you now.
- You're just not use to it. - But...
doesn't she look prettier than normal?
- Yes. - See? Isn't she pretty?
- She looks better now, right? - Well...
- Sorry? - Pardon me?
He's speechless.
I'm sure he feels awkward.
What does her sister think?
- What do you think? - She looks strange.
- Really? - What does her friend think?
You said you felt bad about her looking too masculine.
- What do you think? - Her masculine looks weren't...
- the problem. - It's being misunderstood?
I felt bad for her when she was misunderstood.
Does she look okay?
I think it's better for her to be misunderstood.
- I see. - Her friend and her siblings...
are accustomed to her looking like a boy.
What does her dad think?
- So they think she looks weird. - What do you think?
I was shocked by her looks because...
she reminded me of my wife when she was young.
- Is that so? - They look identical.
The most important thing is how Jung Ah feels.
- How do you feel? - I don't like it very much.
How will you dress up from now on?
I will dress the way I normally do.
Is that so?
(She's going to dress up like a boy.)
Please say something to your dad who is worried about you.
I will change eventually so I hope you won't...
put too much pressure on me.
I love you.
- She sounds like a son. - "I love you."
Thank you.
Hello! Hello!
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello! - Hello.
Hello! It's time for "Hello News".
Let's find out who sent us good news on the screen.
My husband pretends he is invincible and acts...
- recklessly everyday. - He must have lost his mind.
- Most men drive cautiously when... - They would be more cautious.
- they have their baby in the car. - Of course.
My husband wanted to show the baby that he's a cool father.
He got into a cross-legged sitting position.
Then he used his elbows and his chin to steer the wheel.
I've never gotten into an accident for 20 years.
I have a protector who is always looking out for me.
Goodness.
He believed someone was protecting him.
He said that someone was protecting him from getting into any accident.
- Look at the baby. - Gosh.
- He's so cute. - You must become strong like me.
- He's so funny. - How has he changed?
He doesn't act recklessly anymore.
Even when he's holding a hot pot,
he folds a towel over and over.
- He's become very protective. - He used his bare hands.
I used to do that, too.
- I didn't think I would get hurt. - He is quite...
protective of his body now.
(How did the reckless husband change?)
I thought it was worth putting the effort to change if it means...
that my family is happier and isn't as insecure as before.
Also my son started to copy me.
He was copying my actions.
So I thought I should be careful with how I act.
- Of course. - He finally realised it.
(He's still as playful as ever.)
Goodness!
(He loved to play rough with his son.)
No, I'm not tired.
(Is he too tired to be reckless?)
He's trying not to be reckless.
This is a cupping pump and a massage machine.
He bought these to use when he's not feeling well.
He uses these about five times a week.
Oh, my.
He's doing everything.
(Ta-da.)
- He didn't think about his health. - Don't act too recklessly...
when you're still young.
It's better to take care of...
your body.
I have someone up there who is always looking after me.
- I believe in it. - Where did his protector go?
- He's still looking out for me. - He still does?
Of course.
Even if I have a protector,
I try to be less reckless now.
- Of course. - It's for my wife and family.
There is a park nearby our house.
We're going for a walk.
(Driving carefully)
He used to be a reckless driver.
Many people pointed out that it's wrong to drive recklessly...
when my wife and our child are in the car.
These days, I try to drive safely.
It's a rule that I always follow.
(The reckless husband has become a truly loving husband.)
If you have a worry, don't hesitate to call Hello.
They will help solve your worry.
- Wow. - That was impressive.
(That was a great change.)
We usually give them a video call.
- Right. - Let's call them now.
Hello?
Hello!
Your wife looks much happier than before.
It's nice for us to see that.
You seem quite concerned about your health now.
You have become quite protective of your body.
After the show was aired, many of my friends told me...
I needed to be careful not to get hurt or get sick.
So I started to actually feel sick.
Doesn't your protector protect you from getting sick?
I don't think he can stop me from aging either.
Are you happy?
I'm about 80 percent happy.
- About 80 percent? - That's the best.
Is there anything you'd like from us?
It'd be nice if you give us a lot of money.
He's so honest.
Is there anything else you'd like to say?
Don't be reckless with your body just because you're young.
You must take care of your body.
- I love you. - Okay.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
("Hello News" will continue to bring you good news.)
For example, Min Joo came on our show today...
but she could be eating salad a few months later.
She could be eating bibimbap with lots of vegetables.
That's the kind of changes we show on this segment.
("Hello News" will make sure to follow up with her.)
I think it's a big worry. His life is like a war zone.
Hello, I'm a father of a 22-year-old son...
and a younger son who is a senior in high school.
I don't want to go home these days.
The house is so loud that it feels like a war zone.
You may think that my sons fight a lot,
but my sons actually get along very well.
The house is like a war zone because of the fights between...
my two sons and my father who is over 70 years old.
- What? - Every morning at 8am,
another battle begins.
"It's time to get up!"
"Why are you still in bed when the sun is already high in the sky?"
"When I was young, I got up at 5:30am and went to get firewood."
- He's talking to his grandsons. - "Get up and have breakfast!"
(It's time for breakfast.)
"Grandfather, I came back home at 3am last night. Let me sleep."
"Not a chance. Get up now!"
"When I was your age I got up at 5:30am. Get up now!"
When my sons try to rest after their grandpa makes a big fuss,
he says, "Are you going to sleep again?"
"When I was your age, I used to work on a farm with an ox."
"Grandfather, please."
"Why are you trying to torture us?"
I said something to him because I felt so bad for my sons.
"Dad, we're not living in the 1950s anymore."
"Leave the children alone so they can rest."
"What did you say?"
"They turned out like this because you didn't educate them properly!"
"I used to run up the mountains in the 1950s."
- Why did he run so much? - "You're such a rude boy!"
My father was so upset that he hasn't spoken to us in two weeks.
- That must be difficult. - I didn't think this was right,
so I tried to persuade my sons.
"You should be nicer to your grandfather."
"Listen to him, okay?"
"Dad, I don't want to go home because of him."
"I might become a runaway teenager."
It broke my heart to see my youngest son cry.
My sons cry if I take my father's side.
My father cries if I take my sons' side.
I'm not sure what to do.
- That's a problem. - What should I do?
Please, help me find an answer.
(What can I do?)
Let's have the struggling father on stage now.
- It must be difficult. - I wonder how weak and tired he is.
Let's invite the person who is worried. Please come out!
(Who is the father stuck in the middle?)
He doesn't seem weak.
(Shin Man Chul)
He looks very healthy.
- He looks plump. - He seems very healthy.
- He looks so happy. - Yes, he does.
Please come this way. Where are you going?
- Where are you going? - Come this way.
Please come this way.
- Be careful. - Why are you taking out the balls?
- Gosh. - Okay.
You seem very happy as if you don't have a care in the world.
- I only look happy on the outside. - I see.
Have you lived with your father all this time?
I used to live with my sons, but from last October,
- we moved in with my parents. - I see.
As I lived with them...
I'm sorry. I'm quite nervous.
- Are you nervous? - What happened?
His father is sitting in the front row.
Make yourself at home.
Your father wants you to follow his rules, right?
My father is trying to force his old ways on the children.
He wakes them up before 8am,
and they have to eat breakfast together.
After breakfast, they sometimes want to...
go back to sleep because they're on vacation.
- All children like taking naps. - When they lie down,
my father says, "I used to raise oxen when I was young."
How do your children respond?
They say they're going to lose their minds.
They feel like they'll lose their minds?
Once, they talked back at their grandfather and said that...
he's torturing them.
They said that to their grandfather?
What did he say?
He was very angry.
If I side with my father, my sons cry.
If I side with my sons, my father cries.
- You're in a difficult spot. - My son calls me...
- when I'm about to get off work. - Your sons call you?
Since he doesn't want to be home alone with his grandfather,
- Does he say it's difficult? - he wants to go home with me.
They ask if they can come along when I have a meeting...
after work.
They want to go to the meeting with you?
Aren't your sons adults now?
- They're 22 and 19. - It makes no sense that a 22 and...
a 19-year-old would follow their dad around.
Are your sons lazy?
No, I don't even usually wake them up for school.
- They get up on their own? - Yes.
They do their own laundry.
They do their own laundry?
- They do everything on their own. - Really?
They know how to cook.
- That's great. - They cook for themselves?
- Yes. - Do they also grill their meat?
Yes.
That's amazing.
I think my sons have been brought up better than most kids.
I can see that based on what you've told us.
Let's meet his father and his two sons...
who are always fighting.
Where are you?
- It's nice to meet you. - Hello.
(Intimidated)
- Sir? - Yes.
You're at a war with your grandsons.
Do you agree with that statement?
Yes, I do.
I used to run a factor, so I was never home.
I moved back in with them last year.
- My eldest grandson... - Yes.
- just graduated from university. - He used to live in a dormitory.
Now we are all living together.
I usually have breakfast around 7:30am.
- Okay. - But I thought it might be...
too early for them so I pushed it back 30 minutes.
I told them we should eat together at 8am.
You cut them some slack.
Exactly. I pushed breakfast back 30 minutes.
But I always have to wake them up.
They don't even make their bed after they get up.
At breakfast, they barely eat a third of their food.
You seem to have a lot of things you want to teach them.
Is there a lot you want to teach them?
Not necessarily.
I don't nag a lot.
- You don't? - No, I don't.
But they say you nag all the time.
I'm just trying to fix their sleeping patterns.
- Okay. - That's the only thing I nag about.
Your grandfather says he doesn't nag a lot.
No, he does nag a lot.
Can you give us an example?
"The sun is already up. Why aren't you awake?"
"Aren't you going to wash your face?"
"Go wash your face right now."
"Help me set the table."
"Why do you never listen to me?"
- He nags while you're eating? - Yes.
Sometimes he tells me off while I'm eating.
What do you think?
- Hello. - Hello.
Don't be afraid to tell us anything.
Tell us everything.
Sir, do you mind if he speaks his mind?
- Of course not. - Won't you get upset?
- No, I won't. - If you don't mind,
could you smile a little?
You're scaring us.
- So... - You look great now.
- please continue. - When I'm using the computer,
he comes in without knocking...
and says, "Are you on the computer again?"
If I turn off the computer and lie on my belly,
he says, "Why are you lying on your belly?"
He criticises me for about everything I do.
That's why I don't want to be at home.
He doesn't like when you lie on your belly?
Why didn't you just lie on your back?
- Sir... - That would get me in trouble.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Sir, you said you don't nag a lot.
They go back to their rooms as soon as they're done eating.
When I open the door, they're sleeping again.
So I wake them up.
- Sir... - What's so bad about sleeping?
- Sorry? - They might be tired.
But it's morning.
They go back to bed after breakfast...
and won't wake up until the afternoon.
If I don't wake them up, they'll never change.
What do you think?
They have different opinions.
My father wouldn't admit it,
but he plays the accordion when my sons are sleeping.
- Excuse me? - He says he's just practising.
But the sound wakes them up.
Of course.
- He must want to wake them up. - Yes.
When he starts playing, I just leave the house.
What about your sons?
They need to learn to survive on their own.
(He's too harsh.)
Are you doing it on purpose?
Why do you play the accordion when they're taking a nap?
I can't play it in the morning. It would annoy the neighbours.
- So I have to wait until I eat. - After lunch?
That's when I have time to practise.
After I take classes in the afternoon,
I go swimming at 7pm.
- That's nice. - You're busy.
- You keep yourself busy. - It's been seven years.
Because of that,
I can only practise after lunch.
While he was talking, his wife gave a knowing smile.
"Who are you fooling?"
(Is he lying?)
Ma'am, why did you smile?
He plays the accordion at 7:20am when it's a school day.
- Really? - When they have to go to school.
They wake up at 7:30am,
leave for school around 8am and come back home at night.
They're like an alarm clock.
I think you could give us an unbiased opinion.
Does he nag at you a lot, too?
He scolds me every day.
What does he scold you about?
Even when it's my son's fault, he blames me.
- It must be hard for you. - Really.
From what I have heard,
- he has lived a disciplined life. - Exactly.
- That's why he nags them. - He's very disciplined.
- Exactly.
He's a perfectionist.
Can you play the accordion for us?
- I can. But... - Yes?
I'm certain I'll make mistakes.
I'm still a novice.
- That's fine. - We don't mind.
We don't have high expectations.
(Don't be nervous.)
(He's getting ready.)
- He's so energetic. - Right.
But it might be hard for the other family members.
- You're right. - That's right.
Please give him a big hand.
(Give him a big hand.)
(Serious)
(A nostalgic melody)
(This is nice.)
(They're getting tired.)
(It's the sound of our alarm.)
(He can't help but laugh.)
We can read you like an open book.
You're too easy to read.
(He hates it.)
(I'm going to continue.)
- Wow. - Nice.
(Thank you.)
- That was great. - He's really good.
- How did the music make you feel? - Tell us.
I hate the accordion.
- Why? - He has to hear it every day.
I liked it at first.
But I came to hate it after he bought one.
How many times have you heard him play that song?
- I hear it every day. - I see.
You lived during a difficult time...
- and you had to overcome a lot. - That's right.
I agree that people these days should live better lives.
If you could plan their day, how would you plan it?
Can you tell us?
They would ideally wake up at 7:30am,
- wash their faces... - They wash their faces.
- and make the bed. - They make the bed.
When it's around 8am,
- we eat breakfast together. - It only takes 30 minutes.
- After eating breakfast... - Okay.
- they should go for a walk. - Okay.
But they go back to their rooms and never come out.
They should go out instead of going back to their rooms.
- They need to exercise. - I'm 75 years old now.
I do many things including exercise.
I'm very active.
What should they do after taking a walk?
They can do what they need to do.
They could study.
Can they take a nap?
It's okay to take a nap in the afternoon.
- It's no problem. - It's okay?
I don't want them to go back to sleep in the morning.
It's okay for them to do something...
and take a nap for an hour around 11am?
That's a bit too early to be taking a nap.
It should be sometime in the afternoon.
- It should be after lunch. - It's okay in the afternoon.
That's no big deal.
We heard what he wants.
His request doesn't seem unreasonable.
In the morning...
(Hold the microphone correctly.)
- Look at him. - He's better than you.
- He understands how a show works. - He's a perfectionist.
He's a perfectionist.
He will never let us take a nap.
- He won't let you? - Never?
He says it's okay as long as it's in the afternoon.
We can't. We can only sleep at night.
- We're not allowed to take a nap. - He won't let them take a nap.
(Please, stop fighting.)
What does your day look like?
I go to work around 6 or 7am in the morning.
- You go to work early. - When do you come back home?
I come back home around 2am.
- Excuse me? - Why do you come home so late?
I have a few drinks.
- You go drinking? - Every day?
- Do you usually go drinking? - Quite often.
I see.
Doesn't your father scold you about that?
Of course, he does.
We run a sawmill.
We saw wood and operate huge bandsaws.
After I have a few drinks with my business partners,
I sometimes feel very tired the next day.
But my father won't cut me any slack.
I have to go to work regardless of how I feel.
But it can be very dangerous.
- I could have my arm cut off. - Oh, my.
Although my father doesn't know about this,
I sometimes sleep over at a friend's house when I'm drunk.
(I sleep over without telling him.)
Sir. If he's tired,
shouldn't he take a break?
- He could get injured. - Yes.
Shouldn't he take it easy?
It's all his fault.
- Sorry? - It's all his fault.
- What do you mean? - Because he drinks?
I never missed a day of work even when I drank the night before.
I used to work for another company...
before I operated this factory for 20 years.
I never took a day off.
But my son...
goes out to drink even though he has an important project...
the next day and he skips work.
And it happened over and over again.
That's why I don't trust him.
(Who am I? Where am I?)
It sounds like...
Because he overcame all of this, he thinks you're making excuses.
- You're right. - He actually...
- went through all this. - That's true.
"I went to work early every day. Why can't you?"
Does he nag you about anything else?
He nags me about the way I educate my sons.
- The way you educate your sons? - Yes.
I prefer...
to give them freedom.
But my father wants to point out every mistake they make...
and correct them.
I wanted my sons...
to make decisions for themselves...
and learn to take responsibilities for their actions.
Do you feel like your father doesn't trust you?
I do feel that way.
But I understand why he can't trust me.
I failed as a businessman several times.
I know...
I'm not living up to his expectations.
- I hope this won't sound rude. - Okay.
Have you seen the film, "The Throne"?
- You remind me of the father in it. - Okay.
You never made any mistakes no matter how much you drank.
But your son might not be capable of doing that.
He seems to have lost his confidence.
It's hard to run businesses these days.
- Okay. - A lot of factories are...
- You're right. - going bankrupt.
That's why he should work harder than others.
He should sleep less than others.
But he wakes up later than his sons.
That's why I criticise him all the time.
- I'm trying to... - He's trying to help them.
help my son and grandsons.
- We understand how you feel. - Right.
The problem might be how you express your feelings.
- How you communicate is different. - Right.
That might be why your grandsons have a hard time understanding you.
Has he ever complimented you?
- He's never complimented us. - Never?
- What about you? - When I won a medal,
- he said, "Good job." - When you had a good result.
- That was the only time. - Let me ask you.
Do you think he deserved a compliment?
You should do something that deserves a compliment.
He can't say, "You woke up at 1pm? Good job."
I try to do chores around the house like the dishes.
- After breakfast. - Do you do the dishes?
We help with the house chores.
Do you get good grades?
- Sorry? - Do you get good grades?
- What did you say? - Are you a good student?
(He doesn't want to answer.)
Are you pretending you can't hear her?
I can see that you forgot about your studies.
It's okay. School hasn't started yet.
Has he ever...
complimented you?
He has never complimented me.
I can't remember the last time he praised me.
To win his compliments,
I learned new skills to try and impress him.
But when I showed him,
he said, "That's nice." And that was it.
Really?
Why don't you compliment them more often?
I'm not good at expressing what I feel through words.
Even so, are you proud...
- of your son? - Yes, I am.
- Then... - He is.
can you compliment him now?
- Tell him you're proud of him. - I can do that.
There are many things he's good at.
- Please tell him directly. - Tell him not us.
- Tell your son. - Say his name.
- Say, "My son". - Man Chul.
My son. You're very good at paperwork and sales.
No one is better than you at that.
- Please tell him directly. - Tell your son.
- Don't tell us. - I'm telling him.
- Tell him directly. - He is...
very good at that.
I really...
Don't tell us.
- I am... - Tell your son.
I am telling my son.
Talk to him like you normally would.
- I did call his name. - Okay.
Anyway,
he's very good at that.
In addition to the compliments,
could you say something nice to him? "I love you, my son."
- "I trust you." - Keep up the good work.
I'll always support you.
- Keep it up. I love you. - I understand.
- Tell him you love him. - Say something to your grandsons.
- You should. - Please.
I'll say something to my grandsons.
Seung Min, I hope...
you'll work hard so that you can be selected for the national team.
- I understand. - Say something to his brother, too.
All grandfathers love their grandsons.
- You're right. - So...
if you work hard and try to listen to me,
I'll compliment you more from now on.
- Okay. - You have to work hard.
Can't you trust them and let them decide for themselves.
Is that too much to ask?
As long as we help each other,
- we can do anything. - Right.
If my grandsons try a bit harder,
we'll become a much happier family.
(We'll try harder.)
- I see. - All right.
Let's start from Jo Han.
(Guests' vote)
I think he nags them because he cares about them.
I think he nags them because he loves them.
I don't think it's a worry.
Okay. What about you, Jun Hee?
Sir, if you could open up just a little bit more,
it wouldn't be a worry.
- You will try, right? - I will.
Okay, thank you.
He now knows the importance of a compliment...
so I don't think it's a worry.
- I hope they solve this together. - Okay. Sang Moo.
I think, if his grandsons...
try to understand him, it wouldn't become a problem.
Also I think Min Joo should live with him for a while.
(Then nobody here will have any worries.)
What do you think?
- This could be fate. - Why don't you go with him?
Your grandsons are not picky about food, are they?
- Are they? - They are picky eaters.
All right.
If you think this is a worry, please push the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Stop!
Do you want to say something to your grandfather?
You've lived for more than 70 years.
What should I say?
(That came out wrong.)
He's not very good at talking.
- That didn't sound very nice. - You've lived...
your life in the best way you knew.
I admire you for that. I love you.
- All right. - You should say something, too.
Grandfather, we're not trying to ignore what you say.
We have our own reasons.
I hope you'll understand us.
We'll try our best to fix our faults.
- I love you. - Okay.
This...
must have been harder for your mother than you.
She must have suffered more than you.
Please say something to her before we wrap up.
I know you've gone through a lot.
From now on, you won't have to worry.
I'll work harder.
Father, Mother, I love you both.
Make a heart.
(Please stay healthy.)
I'm curious how many people voted for them.
Please show us the result.
(The result)
What will happen?
If it's 177, they'll win.
No way.
(Will they get a 177 votes?)
- That's impossible. - Will they beat "Meat Lover"?
- All right. - 127 votes.
- It's more than I expected. - Right.
- Thank you. - "Meat Lover" is...
the new winner.
We will give you a 1,000-dollar gift certificate.
Until the day we are all worry-free,
Hello will continue to counsel you.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
