- National... - Competition on Worries.
Our audience is in a great mood today.
- I think it's because of them. - These two.
- It's summer. - The summer queens, Bo Ra and Da Som.
(Sistar's Bo Ra and Da Som)
- Pyo Jin In. - Welcome.
- An Woo Yeon. - Hello.
He's so handsome.
- Sistar's comeback means it's summer. - Right.
- They came first on a music show today. - We did.
- Did you? - Yes.
- You need to sing for us. - Of course.
Da Som.
"I Like That".
Da Som injured her toe.
- While filming. - It's down to me.
I'll do my best.
(Good luck, Bo Ra.)
Sistar doesn't let us down.
("I Like That" by Sistar)
Da Som, dance for us on the spot.
Next to her, on the spot.
(Captivating and alluring)
Upper body only.
(Da Som joins in.)
(Sistar gives a great performance.)
Well done.
- It's your first time on a variety show. - Yes.
How do you feel?
I play a teacher in the drama "Five Enough".
I plan to give correct and direct advice.
- That's my idea. - Do you think that'll happen?
It might be tough but I'll try.
- He has swag. - Okay, so...
- you'll be giving good advice. - Yes.
Jin In, how will you be taking part?
As a psychiatrist, I meet many people...
who say they're unhappy because of traumas...
- or because they feel wronged in the past. - I see.
What I want to tell them...
- is despite all that, be happy. - Despite all that.
You look like you had a touch of heat stroke.
- Did you? - Sitting next to Sistar makes me nervous.
- Doesn't it? - I can't even look at them.
"Are You Reading That Again?" won last week.
My husband...
makes every decision based on tarot card readings.
Even buying shares.
Even that?
When leasing a house...
I have experience.
I trust my readings 99.9 percent.
Did you change over the past week?
From our shoot, I realised...
just how worried my wife was about it all.
I was too busy staring at the cards...
to see my wife's face, so I thought she was happy.
Now I plan to discuss things with her.
- Talk to each other. - Yes, we will.
We hope that you'll learn...
to make decisions together.
We'll see if they gain a second consecutive win.
- What do we give? - A 1,000-dollar gift certificate.
- Before we begin... - Right.
Da Som hurt her toe on the way here...
- after the music show. - Yes.
- That's why she couldn't dance properly. - Yes.
She went to get it looked at.
She'll be right back, so please wait.
- She went to the hospital. - She'll get it treated.
I'll start off today.
It's called, "Why Did You Marry Me?"
After 3 years of marriage, I have a 26-month-old son.
I think my husband is haunted by a ghost...
that never got to party in its previous life.
"Honey, it's 4am already."
"When are you coming home?"
"I'm trying to have fun here."
"I told you not to call me when I'm out!"
He's married.
He sleeps out most days to hang out with friends.
How ballsy.
"Don't you have to go to work?"
"No, honey, I quit."
Wait, what?
"Why did you quit?"
"I want to go on holiday with some friends."
He quits his job just so he can have fun.
Even if he finds a job after months of slacking off...
"Honey, I think something's wrong."
"Why is your salary so small?"
"I needed money urgently so I got paid in advance."
"What was so urgent?"
"I bet on a game of pool and had a drink."
Even when I was pregnant,
in one night, just one night,
- he spent 2,000 dollars. - My goodness.
"I can't live like this."
"I'm leaving. You can live however you like."
"Fine, leave if you want."
"But before you do, give me some money."
"I need some to go out tonight."
- What? - I need help.
Please help him get back to his senses.
(Get it together, you fool!)
I'm so annoyed.
2,000 dollars is no small amount.
How do you spend that much?
- That's nonsense. - Despite that, what do you think?
Good point.
Jin In?
I think this person is incredibly immature.
Someone young or in his early 20s...
- Even if he were single, it's wrong. - Exactly.
Such young people might party like this.
Despite all that, you need to be understanding.
(He's perplexed.)
I can't just yet. Let's meet him first.
- Let's meet the couple. - Please come out.
(The wife with a husband who can't stop having fun)
(Lee Jung A)
Woo Yeon.
Please introduce yourself.
I'm 23-year-old Lee Jung A from Seongnam.
- 23 years old? - She's just 23.
- How old is your husband? - 26 years old.
Is he 26 years old?
- He's 26 years old. - He is young.
She's 23 years old.
Did he really quit his job to party?
- She doesn't believe it. - I see that.
- She can't. - Who would?
He doesn't quit. It's more like he gets fired.
He's let go.
He once didn't work for five months so he could drink.
- To drink? - Yes.
How many times was he fired since you got married?
Since we got married,
I'd say well over 10 times.
(He was fired over 10 times.)
After our marriage.
- What? - How long was the longest he worked for?
- He never lasted over two months. - Oh, no.
- He worked part-time, then. - Six weeks maximum.
A month and a half is long for him?
- I can't stand it. - You sound happy, though.
- I'm not. - She's stunned.
I'm stunned.
Right now,
she's in a daze because she just joined us up here.
She has a whole load of things to say...
but she's with celebrities, so she's overwhelmed.
Is your biggest concern the living expenses?
We live with his parents at the moment.
- Together? - Yes, so my in-laws...
pay the bills.
When we need supplies for the baby,
I spend what I'd saved up from working previously.
My baby and I live off of my savings.
- But... - Does he bring nothing home?
He asks to be paid in advance and spends it in secret.
What he does bring home is too little.
How can he spend 2,000 dollars in a night?
That happened when I was four months pregnant.
I was four months pregnant and it was a holiday.
It was also his pay day.
He left early in the evening to get paid.
He said he'd get it in cash but he didn't come home.
I was worried and he didn't answer his phone...
so I went out and checked all the bars and restaurants.
- Gosh. - When I finally found him in a bar...
She's crying all of a sudden.
Just like that.
She's reliving that night.
People who come on our show...
talk, fight and wait for a long time...
before writing in as their last resort.
So you walked around, four months pregnant.
- A few places? - Isn't that dangerous?
- A few places? - I went to a few places...
and I found him in a bar.
When he saw me he said, "Why are you here?"
- He told me to leave. - You just got there.
Yes, and I was pregnant, too.
- So I went home. - Alone?
He didn't come home until the following morning.
It was a holiday.
The whole family was there, so I couldn't complain.
How did you find out he'd spent 2,000 dollars?
He told me when he came home the next morning.
How dare he do that?
You three men need to talk to him.
- I'm at a loss for words. - He needs a scolding.
- Call him for us. - Wait, before that, Da Som...
- Is she here? - Yes.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Give her a round of applause to cheer her up.
(Get well soon.)
Stretch out your legs.
We have to meet someone so Bo Ra, fill her in.
- Whisper in her ear. - Okay.
Whisper so we can't hear. Guys, call the husband.
- Where are you? - Hello.
What did he say to his mother-in-law?
That was it.
- Then... - I want to go home.
I don't think I did anything wrong.
- Bo Ra won't stop crying. - My heart's breaking.
Where are you?
Hello.
(Who's the infuriating husband?)
Is everything your wife just said true?
Yes, it is.
- I see. - Why?
Because it is.
- I knew he'd say that. - It shouldn't be true.
Do you understand why she's worried?
No, I think I'm extremely normal.
- Everyone's like this. - Are you normal?
- Yes. - You think everyone lives like this?
Don't all men spend money like I do?
No.
I don't spend 2,000 dollars every day.
- That was your monthly wage. - Yes.
- And you spent it at once? - Yes.
- Good for you. - Thank you.
That's not what he meant.
- Da Som, did Bo Ra explain this? - Yes.
- She's so annoyed. - I gave her the facts.
What did she say?
I'm so annoyed right now.
This is the problem husband.
If you have any questions, go ahead.
I heard you got fired because you wanted to party.
Why did you even get married?
He got fired 10 times since he got married.
What?
Hold the microphone closer.
I got married because I love my wife.
- What? - But it doesn't look like you love her.
Why treat her like this, then?
- Drinking has nothing to do with love. - Gosh.
- Can you let her do the same? - It's not unrelated.
Could she spend 2,000 a night...
- and not come home? - Never.
You're so selfish!
Why not if drinking has nothing to do with love?
She's a mother.
- You're a dad! - You're a dad!
- You're a dad. - You're a dad.
Where do you get the money to go out and drink?
If I don't have any, I ask my parents for some.
Also, I did work every now and then.
I worked at shops, installing windows, selling dogs.
- I don't know what job suits me. - Okay.
In the summer I have to go to water parks...
- and in the winter I have to go snowboarding. - Yes.
- I can't work the next day if I'm too tired. - Okay.
That's why I quit working.
- That's how this happened. - Okay.
After a fun day of snowboarding,
you can't work so you quit your job?
- Late-night snowboarding... - What logic is that?
Have a little less fun.
(Have a little less fun.)
Leave enough energy to go to work.
- He's so immature. - Then...
do you spend everything as soon as you earn it?
Yes, the next day.
- With your wages? - Why?
- How about your baby? - I meet up with friends...
and talk about work, too. It's part of my social life.
- I'd do it back to him. - That's not being social.
You're not able to sustain a job.
I meet friends, so to me, that is...
- being social. - Who are you friends?
- What? - Who are you friends?
My friends...
- or acquaintances. - They look ashamed.
(They're apologetic already.)
- You people. - You're the problem.
Do you think they will help you one day?
If I spend that much, I will earn that much more.
- That's why. - He thinks it's an investment.
Do a tarot card reading to see what's wrong with him.
What's his problem?
(It can't be explained with logic.)
- This is so... - Did you ever...
go out with money you got in advance?
Yes, when I worked at a supermarket.
I needed 300 dollars, so I asked for it.
This I must say.
I took my wife on that trip.
- Did you? - Yes.
Did you know where the money was from?
Not at the time. You can't tell at the time.
At the end of the month, his wage is near nothing.
I ask him where it went.
"I got paid in advance so we could have fun."
- That's it? - That's when he told me.
He rarely works and he's paid in advance to party.
What if he wants to have fun and has no money?
- In that case... We have a child. - Yes.
We also live with his parents, so he tells them...
he needs to borrow money for our child.
He asks them first.
If that doesn't work, he calls his friends.
"My baby is sick. Can you lend me some money?"
Even when our baby is just fine.
If that doesn't work... I save up, just in case.
He takes that behind my back.
I had 500, 600 dollars saved up...
for our baby in secret.
Once, I visited my parents.
I was with them when he called me.
"Jung A, I need money." So I asked him what it was for.
He said it was for him to go and drink.
Of course I said no.
Then I ignored his calls and he called over 100 times.
- To ask for money? - I still ignored it.
It's obvious what he'd say.
He called my mum next.
(He even called my mum.)
- His mother-in-law? - "Mother."
"Jung A won't pick up. I need money."
What did he say it was for?
- What was his excuse? - "She isn't picking up."
"If you wire me the money, she'll pay you back."
(He demanded money to drink.)
Why did you need money so urgently?
I had given my credit card to my wife.
I came home after work and was going to go out...
so I called to tell her...
to transfer some money.
She refused and hung up when I said it was for drinks,
then she ignored my calls...
and time was ticking.
I had no choice but to call...
- her mother. - Don't drink if you can't afford to.
I'd made plans in advance.
- Your friend can pay. - Others can pay.
- That's right. - I don't care who pays...
but I still need enough money to go out.
- For peace of mind. - How much do you need?
I need at least 150 to 200 dollars in my pocket.
- I see. - But you can't afford it.
- To be honest, - Oh my gosh.
- if you were single, I'd understand. - That's right.
- Yes. - I'd understand.
- You can have fun. - You can.
But that doesn't apply to you.
Why is having fun so important?
I got married pretty early...
- and most of my friends are still single. - Okay.
I see them go out for drinks or have a good time...
on social media and so on.
If I'm at home, I get so jealous...
so I have to make up an excuse to join them.
Can't you stand being at home?
At home, I feel suffocated,
almost claustrophobic.
I practically beg him not to go out.
Sometimes he picks a fight with me.
- What? - He starts a fight.
- For no reason? - Just to go out?
- Because I won't let him. - He pretends he's angry.
- He gets annoyed. - Unbelievable.
Before he leaves, he always says,
"I'm going out. Give me money."
Just like that. Every time.
Do you really start fights just so you can go out?
If I say I'm going out, she won't let me.
If we get into a fight, she says, "Get out of here."
In those cases, she doesn't call for hours.
I can drink in peace.
He's the worst... He's unbeatable.
- Gosh. - Think about it.
Your wife is young and would want to have fun.
Even more so.
- What do you... - But she doesn't.
Don't you meet your friends?
- Don't you? - I can't go out because of him.
He tells me to stay home and look after the baby.
If I do try to go out...
Coffees cost a lot these days. I think it's a waste...
so I spend it on our baby instead.
But my husband says he doesn't want to take the bus...
so he takes a taxi everywhere when he can't afford to.
He even rents cars sometimes for himself.
- He rents what? - But he won't let you go out?
Why won't you let her go out?
It's okay if she takes the baby with her.
When I'm at home, she wants me to babysit.
That's why.
Why can't you babysit?
- The baby keeps crying. - Try harder.
He thinks I'm someone who takes him to stores.
That's because you don't spend time with him.
So you're blaming your wife and child,
who is only 26 months old. Right?
Then...
- You... - Calm down.
You just got back from the hospital.
- Why do I feel... - Are you angry?
Are you satisfied with your marriage?
(Are you satisfied with your marriage?)
- No. - Do you feel loved?
No, it's tough.
Oh dear...
- Right now... - She might talk.
(She doesn't feel loved.)
She just said she isn't happy.
Were you aware of that?
She will still stay with me forever...
and we have a lot of time left together.
- Wait. - If we try...
What if she ends up leaving you?
- I don't think she will. - Why not?
We're married...
and we have a child that keeps us together.
You have a hostage, basically.
Do you meet your friends everyday...
because you don't have babies with them?
(Is that why?)
What logic is that?
- They're confused. - That's nonsense.
- Let's meet his friends. - Let the men talk to them.
You two look just...
- They look like drinkers. - They really do.
They look like party animals.
Do you understand where she's coming from?
Yes. Even when I go out, I go home before midnight.
- I'm married, too. - Okay.
- Are you married? - My kid is five.
You guys got married young.
Do you go home before midnight?
Like clockwork.
What about him?
He goes home in the morning.
Let me ask this out of pure curiosity.
Were you there the night he spent 2,000 dollars?
No. I went home before midnight.
What about you in the middle?
- Were you there? - No.
- Who were you with? - Who did you spend it with?
- I was with two other friends. - Okay.
Where did you spend it all?
At first we were only going to have some beer...
but then we got drunk and excited...
so we threw caution to the wind.
We went to 4 or 5 places that night.
My friends offered to pay but since I got paid,
I paid for everything.
When I bump into younger friends,
I just pay for their tables too.
I also give them money for a taxi home.
You want to look cool to everyone else.
As a friend, he's great.
One of the wife's friends has joined us.
Hello.
- Welcome. - Are you close friends?
- We met in high school. - You go way back, then.
When do you pity her the most?
When we meet up for lunch...
or to celebrate another friend's birthday...
and she's the only one missing.
- That's when I feel bad. - Not even for lunch?
- Yes. - Don't you go out at all?
- I went to a birthday party... - This is insane.
and he showed up.
He said, "What are you doing here? Get out."
I asked him why and he said,
"Stay home because you're a mum. I'm going out."
That's what he said.
- To look after your baby? - Yes.
- He said it's my job as a mum. - Hey, Dad.
Yes.
- You're both parents... - Yes.
- and it was her friend's birthday. - Yes.
Don't you think she deserved a day to herself?
She went out again after that...
and I had to meet my friends.
(I come first.)
You don't have to make plans with your friends.
I'm not good at saying no.
Do us a favour. Please stay at home.
(Can you please stay at home?)
(We won't take no for an answer.)
- Chan Woo. - Yes.
Ask him again politely.
I beg you.
(He asks politely.)
- Please don't go out. - It'd be great...
- if you stayed at home. - You two...
have probably been fighting a lot.
Did you have a big argument recently?
We had a fight very recently...
and I didn't come home for two days.
I stayed with my parents.
I thought my husband would stay at home...
but he spent a few thousand dollars that day.
He fought with his wife and she left...
but he acted like mice when the cat's away.
Did you go out to drink while she was gone?
I was in a bad mood because we fought.
I hate getting phone calls when I'm drinking.
My wife didn't call me because she wasn't home,
so I felt liberated.
- Goodness. - My friend and I drank until we dropped.
He was like, "Nice!"
You hate getting calls when you drink, right?
- You must want your wife to stop it. - Yes.
Then stop doing what your wife doesn't like, too.
Me? Then I'll just let her call me.
(I'll just let her call me.)
- So... - My goodness!
(She loses it.)
- He's so clueless. - I want to go home.
- Well... - I'm so frustrated.
- I want to go home. - You must have...
talked to him when you came home after two days.
Yes, we had a serious talk.
I said, "I can't live with you like this."
He said, "Fine, let's get divorced. Let's end it."
- That's bad. - What did you say to that?
I said, "I'll give you a week."
"Please come back a changed man within that time."
- You gave him a week? - I did, but eventually...
- He didn't change. - His habits came back shortly.
- Again? - Nothing changed.
(It only lasted for three days.)
I didn't mean it, of course.
We have our baby and I love her.
I just don't like it when someone bothers me...
or pressures me to come home when I'm with friends.
I don't like getting calls,
so I thought that saying something extreme...
would scare her and help us reach a compromise.
What kind of compromise did you want to reach?
I don't want her to call me when I'm out...
- with my friends. - Right.
- I don't want her to give me a curfew. - I see.
I also don't want her to ask me where I am.
I'll come back when I do.
And don't ask for money either, right?
Money? I ask her for money.
Gosh, what's he saying?
That's the compromise you want?
(Chan Woo can't believe his ears.)
Just earn it, don't ask her for money as well.
The look on his face tells me...
he doesn't think anything is wrong.
Do you think you've done nothing wrong?
- Even now. - I don't think I did anything wrong.
Wow.
- Let's be honest. - Your lifestyle is wrong.
- As a man... - I also think...
I should stand on my own feet...
to support my family and raise my baby.
However, I don't know what kind of job would suit me.
I can't find the right one for me,
- so I don't want to hear it. - So do you feel lost?
Yes, I'm going through a rough phase.
(This is my rough phase.)
- A rough phase. - Look,
until when do you think this will go on?
When all of my friends get married...
and get tired of going out, they'll stop one by one.
- Until that happens? - Until your friends get tired?
(Tae Gyun loses it for a second time.)
Are you waiting for your friends to get tired?
(He's challenging our common sense.)
How will your wife and baby sustain themselves then?
Our parents help us out.
My wife's parents also help us financially.
What if your parents can't support you any more?
I'll have to come to my senses then.
- Only then? - Yes.
What is this nonsense theory?
He must think that there's no such need yet.
If that's the case, have you ever thought...
about planning for your future?
I haven't thought about it in detail...
but I enjoy meeting people...
so I thought about working in the service industry.
However, in the summer...
I have to go to water parks.
- In winter... - You can work at a water park.
- Pardon? - You can get a job there in summers...
and work in ski resorts in winters.
- You work in one of the resorts. - Exactly.
- The pay is low, though. - Please go on.
- So what? - I'd like to get a job...
where I can take time off when I want to.
I want something that gives me freedom.
- What is that job? - Is there such a thing?
You'll never find a job like that.
- Everyone is... - That's why I'm still unemployed.
(That's why I haven't found a job yet.)
You've never been beaten up out of the blue, have you?
No.
(We can't give up like this, though.)
Let me ask you something.
Aside from hanging out with friends,
have you ever felt that you excel in anything...
in the last 26 years of your life?
Baseball and Jokgu.
Except for those things. They won't earn you money.
You can't become a professional athlete instantly.
- You need to work to play Jokgu. - I'm good...
Think about it. You've tried many jobs.
- A job you kept... - I'm good at sales.
- Sales? - I've helped customers...
- and organised products on display. - Sales.
I've also sold fruit, too.
Female customers complimented me, saying I'm very nice.
They always bought things when I served them.
- Really? - This show will surprise them so much.
They'll hit you with bunches of leeks.
(They'll want a refund.)
Then how about you try...
to get into the sales business?
You can start small.
I've thought about that.
However, I won't be able to join my friends...
if they hang out when I'm working.
How many off-days do you want per month ideally...
for you to start working?
- The number of days doesn't matter. - Okay.
I want to take days off whenever I want to.
- He needs his own business. - It's because...
he doesn't know when his friends will get together.
(That's right.)
What would you like to do if your husband...
goes out less with his friends and comes home early?
- Any ideas? - We had our baby early...
so we haven't had our wedding yet.
- I'd like to have a wedding. - You haven't had one.
- That's one. - It's okay. I haven't had one, either.
I'd also like to have a serious talk with him...
about our future. We need to be independent.
I want to talk to him about that, too.
What else would you like to do?
I'd like to be able to smile.
(I'd like to be able to smile.)
- Maybe have beer and chicken with him, too. - Yes.
She wants to smile.
(That's her dream.)
She's too young to think that.
You said you hate being tied down.
Marriage means...
you accept being tied down.
You marry because you are okay with it.
You started a relationship and had a baby...
but you're now saying you don't want to be tied down.
- I think she's amazing for her age. - I agree.
I'm sure you have things you want to do...
but you have to save money for the baby...
so you can't even buy yourself coffee, right?
- Yes. - I see.
(Where were you...)
(and who were you having fun with?)
She became a mum at such a young age.
Being an adult means taking responsibility.
Whether you're 18, 20...
or even 50 years old, regardless of age,
adults must take responsibility.
This is your responsibility...
and you're ignoring it. You're not an adult.
You shouldn't drink because you are not an adult yet.
Ignoring this means you're not an adult.
You can't drink until you become a real adult.
All right. We'll start with Bo Ra.
Do you think it's a worry or not?
(The guests will vote.)
It's a worry, of course.
Regardless of age,
everyone has to give up something.
You can't even take responsibility for your own child.
Da Som, do you think it's a worry?
I don't even think that's what matters in this case.
What she had to say...
really broke my heart.
- What if she's your friend? - I won't let it slide.
I think he has to change a lot.
- Seriously. - Let's ask Jin In...
who is always very understanding.
- What will he say? - Gosh.
I don't think taking sides...
will help us resolve this case.
Good personality traits don't come with age.
It's more about where you are in your life.
There's this old saying,
"You're not an adult if you're not a parent,"
- Right. - "even if you're 40 years old."
You became a father in your early 20s...
- so you're an adult now. - Yes.
You must do what you're supposed to do as an adult.
You should think about your priorities as an adult.
- Woo Yeon? - It's a worry, of course.
Everyone, please get ready to vote.
- He's also young. - If...
he wins, I think that he'll spend the prize money...
- on drinking. - He might.
(Should we press the button or not?)
Press the button if you empathise with the worry.

In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Time's up. - Before we finish,
please say a few words to your wife.
You've been through a lot because I'm incompetent.
(Looking back, he feels apologetic.)
Thanks for raising our baby well.
I'll try to change and be a better husband.
I love you.

Look at him.

The sender of this story has been living...
in utter sadness his whole life.
Hello. I'm a 26-year-old man...
who is 183cm tall and well-built.
It sounds like he has a good build.
There's someone who's like the bane of my existence.
Whenever I'm with him, I feel so belittled.
"Gosh, are you two really brothers?"
"Are you his younger brother? Seriously?"
"Hey, your brother is so handsome."
"Goodness. Why do you look like that?"
Who says such things?
"You're so ugly."
That person is my older brother.
We're siblings...
but we don't resemble each other at all.
Since I was a child, my parents...
and relatives only cared about my brother.
I hated being compared to him,
so I began working out to bulk up...
and also tried changing my hairstyle and clothes.
"You look ugly no matter what you do."
"If you were half as handsome as your brother..."
- Oh, dear. - This is what I hear all the time.
- Even the girl I fancied said, - A girl?
"I really like you."
"What do you think of me?"
"I like your brother, not you."
"Can I have his number?"
I can't even date because of my brother.
Everyone is obsessed with him.
I really can't live like this any more.
Please stop comparing me to my brother.
(I don't want to be compared to him any more.)
I'm curious to see how different they look.
- We should meet him but I'm a bit scared. - I know.
All right, everyone.
Please keep a straight face.
Even if you whisper to yourself,
it can sound like this because there's 200 of you.
Please be careful.
He's listening to this.
The sender of the story, please come out.
(Who is the ugly guy with a handsome brother?)
Gosh. He looks fine.
- What was he talking about? - Seriously.
(What does he look like?)
(He's not ugly at all.)
- What was he talking about? - Seriously.
(Park Young Ryu)
- He's charming. - He looks manly.
You're stylish.
- I think he fooled us. - I know.
- You're not ugly. - Let's just move on.
- I know. - You're not ugly at all.
It would have been funnier if he were really ugly.
The ratings might drop.
He's not ugly at all, right?
I'm sorry but maybe your glasses...
are making you look stylish. Can you take them off?
He looks...
- different without them. - His eyes...
Is it because you have small eyes?
This motivates me.
To be honest, I don't know why you feel that way.
- Same here. - I don't think you're ugly.
He has thick eyebrows, too.
Everyone compares me to my brother.
- She's taking a closer look. - First,
my brother is three years older than me...
but everyone thinks I'm older.
(Everyone thinks I'm older.)
When did people start comparing you two?
When did it start?
I think it began the moment I was born.
- You remember that? - When I was born,
my mum was shocked because I was ugly.
- All newborns are like that. - They're all ugly.
- Babies get cuter as they grow. - I was really ugly.
My mum asked the hospital staff.
"Did my baby get switched?"
- Really? - Was it that serious?
- Well... - Bo Ra, do you think he's ugly?
No. I like that he has a very unique look.
Da Som, what do you think?
That's what you say to ugly people.
No! That's not what I meant.
- He looks fine from here. - He has good skin, too.
Shall I take a closer look?
He has a nice voice as well.
He says his brother is very handsome.
I wonder how handsome he is.
It'd be weird if his brother isn't that handsome.
- He's 181cm tall. - Does he look like that?
He looks a little bit like Jung Il Woo.
- He looks like Jung Il Woo? - Jung Il Woo?
He majored in physical education, so he's athletic.
He also studied abroad so he speaks good English.
He speaks English, too.
You're taller than him, though.
- Yes, by 2cm. - You won.
(That 2cm difference makes you a winner.)
See? Bo Ra struck up a conversation with you, too.
Stop caring about what people say and be confident.
I wanted to. That's why I started working out.
I used to be pretty small.
Every time I try to learn or try something new,
I hear, "You should work hard because you're ugly."
- That's what I get. - Who says that?
- My brother. - Your brother?
- His brother. - Really?
He says that himself?
- How obnoxious. - And...
Why does he treat his brother like that?
I'm sure all of you can guess which one is his brother.
Apparently, his resembles Jung Il Woo.
- Someone looks a bit like him. - At a quick glance.
(You have to take a quick glance.)
- He looks like Jung Il Woo at a glance. - Hello.
- Hello.
(Who is the handsome brother?)
- Hello. - Hello.
(He's good-looking.)
The two of them don't look alike at all.
You two are brothers but you do look different.
They do look very different.
He's sick of being compared to you. What do you think?
I feel good.
- I'm happy that people think I'm young. - But...
Shouldn't you defend your brother when people do that?
I don't think that would help the matter.
Frankly, when he was younger...
he used to be ugly.
He's still on the ugly side.
He hears it so much so I thought he'd be used to it.
He's mean.
- But... - He sounds...
- so mean. - He needs to stand on his feet.
He sounds a bit aggressive.
Is no one in your family on your side?
Don't your parents side with you, at least?
- My mother is very beautiful. - I see.
My father has a kind, friendly face.
- You look nothing like them? - I look like this.
- You look kind and friendly. - You're fine.
- You look fine. - Seriously.
- Is she your mother? - Yes.
Your mother is very young.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
You take after your mother.
- The two of you... - He takes after my family.
- Your younger son? - Yes.
Then why do you tell him that he's ugly?
He was really ugly when he was born. However,
I think he looks unique and manly now.
Doesn't he look cool?
- He's cool. - He's manly.
But he hates hearing such things, right?
- Yes. - Being called manly?
Everyone says, "You look unique."
- That's a good thing. - Hearing...
what his brother said would make me say...
more encouraging things to give him confidence...
- if I were his friend. - You'd encourage him.
Then, who would you choose as a boyfriend?
- Be honest. - I really don't care about looks.
- Which one? - I really don't care about looks.
- As a boyfriend. - So which one will you choose?
- Aside from that... - She'll pick...
- the older brother. - Saying you don't care...
about looks already means you think he's ugly.
"I don't care about the looks. I really don't."
- Girls say that all the time. - From personality,
- I'd choose... - The younger brother?
Yes. Despite all the favouritism...
and hearing such harsh things, he's still very calm.
Who will you choose based on looks?
- She doesn't care about that. - I don't.
Even someone who looks like you is fine.
- You, too. - "Someone who looks like you!"
"You're fine. You, too. Everyone is fine."
She said I look fine, too.
You must have heard this a lot, too.
- Yes, I have. - I knew it.
- I hear it all the time. - Really? But it's...
- a compliment. - They're around my age.
It sounds just like what my friends tell me.
- Comments like that. - Yes.
- They could mean it. - We really mean it.
If he were an only child,
objectively, he's not ugly at all.
He feels like this because he's used to being compared.
Ma'am, is your son stressed out about his looks?
He complained about his small eyes...
- and wanted surgery. - The double eyelid surgery?
Yes. I would have let him get the surgery...
if double eyelids suited his eyes.
- She's right. - But...
- It'd look weird. - It'd make him look cheesy.
Please take off your glasses again.
Look at him. Let's say that he got the surgery.
We'll use computer graphics to show you.
- You'll see it on the show. - Okay.
- He looks better without them. Definitely.
These days, people like his eyes.
- Exactly. - Eyes without double lids are in vogue.
Did you ask your mum for the surgery?
Yes, I did. My brother got the surgery.
- He did? - Your brother got it?
- Your mum allowed it? - He got it?
- She didn't let me. - I guess it suits his eyes.
All of a sudden...
Let's look at his eyes.
(Gosh, that little...)
- I can't tell. - His eyes aren't big, either.
I got the surgery because my eyelashes...
- poked my eyes. - They poked your eyes.
My eyes haven't changed that much.
It wasn't because your mother favours your brother.
She says she didn't allow the surgery...
- as it may ruin your eyes. - That's right.
That's not true. Ever since my brother was little,
he wanted to become an actor.
- An actor. - Yes, he wanted to become an actor.
My parents supported his dream.
"You are handsome. Give it a try."
Your brother didn't become an actor.
No, he didn't. In the past,
I used to dream of becoming a singer.
- You must have singing skills. - It was my dream.
I even got accepted into college as a singing major.
I told my parents about my dream.
- They didn't support it? - They said,
"You are too ugly to become a singer."
Because of what my parents said,
I gave up on my dream...
and went to the army instead.
- He has good singing skills. - Okay.
However, my opinion was...
he wasn't not good enough to become a singer.
What about your eldest son?
I supported his dream because...
society preferred men with pretty faces back then.
He desperately wanted to become an actor.
I thought it would be a good profession for him...
since he has good memory, too.
- "He has good memory." - I supported his dream...
since I thought he had a chance.
He could be more of an actor with a unique character.
Stop telling him that his face is unique.
It's not just about the looks.
My brother is the oldest son in the family.
I have a sister who is 11 years younger than me...
but even she looks down on me.
Really?
I think she's copying your brother's behaviour.
One day, she called home after her lesson.
She wanted someone to come and pick her up.
I said, "Okay, I will be there."
However, she said, "No, I am with my friends."
"Tell my older brother to come."
Because she was with her friends...
- Really? - That must have really hurt your feelings.
- That's discrimination. - What grade is she in?
- She is in 8th grade. - I see.
She is going through puberty.
(She is going through puberty.)
Let's talk to his sister. Hello.
Hello.
How cute!
- You look like your second older brother. - Okay.
She doesn't like it.
She's going through puberty, be careful.
Why did you only ask for your oldest brother?
I was showing pictures of my brothers to my friends.
They wanted to see your oldest brother.
Seeing my oldest brother's picture,
they said, "How handsome! I really want to see him."
That's why I wanted him to come pick me up.
You could have shown an extremely nice picture...
of Young Ryu to your friends.
Why are you accentuating it has to be a nice picture?
He does have a nice body.
I have a picture of that on my phone...
but his face looks ugly in it.
I cut out his face in the picture...
- before showing it to my friends. - She cut it out.
Since he looks okay with sunglasses on,
I showed my friends a picture of him wearing them.
She really looks down on him.
(She really looks down on him.)
Including your brother,
everyone said, "He used to be quite ugly."
- They said that. - That's right.
Exactly how ugly were you...
- in the past? - I want to see a picture.
I was very ugly.
People tell me I have a unique look since I improved.
- Let's see it then. - It's an old picture of him.
Okay, so that's Young Ryu and his brother.
Say something! Don't be like that.
- I see a difference. - Your brother is good looking.
Kids change a lot at that age.
(Young Ryu and his brother in their teens)
- That's a bad picture of him. - I know.
Are you wearing a wig?
You have more hair than your brother.
That's right. You will never go bald.
Your brother always strikes a cool pose.
- He's blank, though. - You look awkward in them.
Your looks have changed a lot.
If you're not around him, no one will compare you two.
It would be an idea to live away from home.
I go out a lot to avoid him.
I go out to drink with friends in the evening.
When I am meeting with female friends,
he always calls me.
- Your brother does? - Yes. Three months ago,
there was a girl I was interested in.
When we were hanging out, my brother called me.
He asked where I was so I told him I was drinking.
He asked where I was...
and he said he'd drop by.
Even though things were going great,
whenever he shows up, all the girls fall for him.
- Has this happened a lot? - Pardon?
You said all the girls fell for him.
It has happened about 10 times.
You mean 10 girls left you for him.
- You can tell him not to come. - When he calls,
say, "I am with friends. Go home."
There is no need to tell him where you are.
He constantly calls and messages me.
- "Where are you?" - Really?
That's a bit strange.
- Why do you do that? - Are you doing it on purpose?
- Is it intentional? - Maybe he doesn't have friends.
It's not like that.
To be honest, I love drinking.
I go to see my brother and have a drink.
I don't have an agenda.
He says you only show up when he is with a girl.
- Only those times. - I won't deny that.
(I won't deny that.)
This happened one time.
A friend of Young Ryu's asked me for my number.
I didn't refuse since she is my brother's friend.
Let me explain.
I thought refusing might make things awkward...
for Young Ryu.
However, I never initiated contact.
- But... - I'd like to say something.
In the army, I joined the same unit as my brother.
- I was one rank lower than my brother. - I see.
One time, I bought some snacks for him...
and put it in his locker.
I found a letter from a person with a familiar name.
Who had sent it?
- Let's say the name was Bo Ra. - Who sent it?
Who sent it?
He'd been contacting my girlfriend.
Your girlfriend?
(Shocked)
- You were still seeing her. - Yes.
How long had you been dating?
We had been dating for 200 days.
Perhaps it was only a letter of sympathy.
No, there was a pile of letters.
- A pile? - You said earlier...
that you only give away your number...
for your brother's sake.
Let me clarify things.
I knew her before I joined the army.
I had been introduced to her.
(He had been introduced to her.)
Does that mean she dated the both of you?
I didn't date her. We only kept in touch...
as friends.
Is that not a relationship?
Of course. I only received...
one letter from her.
- He said saw a pile. - Those letters were...
from other women.
Only the top letter was sent by his girlfriend.
- Young Ryu must have been surprised. - Yes.
That's why he misunderstood.
Did you not know that she was dating Young Ryu?
- You must have known. - I had no idea.
I had no idea she was Young Ryu's girlfriend.
- I see. - He didn't know.
Had I known, I would have said something.
- It's her fault then. - What a strange woman!
She played with both of them.
Young Ryu never told me about his girlfriend.
He never told me about spending time...
with his girlfriend.
- That wasn't your brother's fault. - That's right.
At first, I thought your brother had gone too far.
- I know. - Right?
Since women kept falling for him,
I couldn't talk to my brother about my girlfriend.
- You thought he'd take them from you. - Yes.
- Come on. - He wouldn't do that.
The girl that wrote to your brother,
what happened after that?
I went on leave to find out what had happened.
I asked if she had been in touch with my brother...
and she admitted to it without remorse.
You should have asked what you meant to her.
Since I had many days left in the service,
I broke up with her...
and went through days of struggle.
I heard that going through a breakup...
- in the military is hard. - It is.
- It must have been hard. - If he loved her,
- it must have been devastating. - It was.
(Crying)
This has been going on forever.
I do think it can be frustrating.
Everyone's attention is focused on his brother.
As you grow older, love becomes important.
Since women only fall for his brother,
he is stricken with a victim mentality.
While you can keep a distance from your friend,
it's hard to do so with your brother.
- He's family. - His brother...
isn't necessarily out to get him...
but Young Ryu can't help but be wary.
Had the letter been sent to a stranger,
he would have taken a more direct approach.
However, he gave up easily...
- when he realised it's his brother. - I agree.
He gave up as he thought it was a losing game.
Have things always been like this?
Yes, things have always been the same.
I know have insecurities.
To overcome them, I grew a beard...
among other things.
No matter how hard I try,
people say, "You can't help it since you are ugly."
It discourages me.
Jin In, what should he do?
Give him some advice.
It is not an easy matter to advise on.
A person's personality forms before the age of five.
Young Ryu was constantly compared to his brother...
before that age.
"I cannot win against my brother."
That's the belief he lived with for 20 years.
He realised that giving up is easier.
My advice is this.
He needs to change his posture.
- Stand straight. - Yes.
We have seen his pictures.
While a person's looks matter,
- his character is more important. - That's right.
- It shows on his face. - He lacks confidence.
When you look at his pictures,
it's clear that he doesn't want his pictures taken.
He looks rigid and sullen.
It's not a good look on even the most handsome man.
Since his face is dark in the pictures,
anyone would pick his brother.
Data has been collected to see...
in which country plastic surgery is the most prevalent.
Republic of Korea came first place.
"We would like to hire a pretty part-timer."
"We give preference to applicants with good looks."
Many job seekers undergo plastic surgery for a job.
Some people point out that lookism...
has spread to the field of sports.
(Stop discrimination based on looks!)
Let's see if Young Ryu's brother envies him in any way.
- Young Ryu is sociable. - I see.
He is very sociable. He can also sing well.
He can sing well.
Is there anything from his looks that you envy him for?
- From his looks? - Yes.
It's a legitimate question.
- He was startled. - All right.
- It's a great trait to sing well, right? - It is.
Would you please sing a song?
(Let's have Young Ryu show off his charm.)
(If I could run across the sky)
(He sings well with his baritone voice.)
(He is charming.)
(Even though he never became a singer,)
(he is charming the audience with his voice.)
(He succeeds in showing off his charms.)
- Yes! - He can sing very well.
(Good job.)
- Good job. - You know,
since his looks were compared to his brother's.
Young Ryu's brother should sing, too.
Let's hear how well you can sing.
- Let's hear it. - Let's hear it.
Let's go. Sing for us.
- I'll sing the same song. - Pick one you like.
"If I could run across the sky..."
Let's compare their singing skills. Begin.
(If I could run across the sky)
(Young Ryu feels nervous as soon as the song begins.)
(He's not too bad.)
(If I get too close to the sun)
Young Ryu won!
(Young Ryu finally beat his brother.)
- This is good. - Young Ryu won!
I was worried for a second.
- It was a close match. - He was pretty good.
I almost asked Young Ryu to sing another song.
(It was a very close match.)
Young Ryu definitely has a voice...
- with unique charms. - He's cool.
- That's right. - For an amateur,
- he sang very well. - His voice was stable.
Yes. It was a charming performance.
Don't feel belittled from now on.
- That's right. - Have confidence.
Looks are not everything.
There is no reason to feel small.
- Looks are not important. - Of course.
Changing your facial expressions and posture...
- will help you greatly. - Yes.
- Sit in a relaxed manner. - That's right.
Since you mustered great courage to be here,
today will be an important turning point of your life.
I hope people won't judge by appearances.
My brother and I have different charms.
I hope people will see that,
instead of judging us by our looks.
Talk to your sister.
Tell her that you want to pick her up from lessons.
I will...
pick you up often after your lessons.
(Laughing)
It looks like she doesn't want me to come.
- Tell her you love her. - You're her brother.
When your friends come over,
please introduce me as your brother.
- Answer him. - Okay.
(Be nice to your brother.)
- Bo Ra. - If it's a worry, press the button.
While it is a worry for Young Ryu,
I won't press the button since I want him to change.
He has many good qualities. He should focus on those...
and let go of his insecurities.
- Okay. - Jin In.
- I think it's a worry. - Okay.
I believe...
it's a deep-rooted, serious worry.
It will go away once Young Ryu matures...
but it must be a serious worry for him now.
The society values unique looks these days.
That's why I don't think it's a worry.
If you think it's a worry,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up.
Please say a few things to Young Ryu.
Young Ryu, I am sorry...
you were persecuted ever since you were little.
- Persecuted! - Since you found your unique charms,
let's forget about the past.
I hope both you and I...
will lead good lives.
- Okay. - Good job.
Show us the result.
(The result)
How many votes will he receive?
(Will it go over 100 votes?)
Is it over 100 votes? It's 75.
All right.
- It's not a worry. - That's good.
This is my story. "Liar, Get It Together!"
Hello, I will get to the point.
I would like to publicly humiliate my friend,
Park Gil Ho.
(I would like to publicly humiliate him.)
This person wants to do it on TV.
His nickname is Liar.
"Our friends were taken to the police station."
"You should go!"
"Really? What is going on?"
"Where are they?"
"I lied!"
(I lied!)
- "Did you believe me again?" - That's why he's Liar.
Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie.
The problem is,
he is 52 years old.
(He is 52 years old.)
(My goodness, Sir.)
Really?
- He is not a young man? - He is 52 years old.
This happened on a snowy day last winter.
"I am stuck in Palgong Mountain."
"Could you come and pick me up?"
His desperate plea made me drive to Palgong Mountain.
However, I could neither find nor contact him.
Stuck on the frozen road,
I had to spend the night in the mountains.
(I had to spend the night there.)
I am not the only victim of his pranks.
"Gosh, I am so annoyed."
"I waited three hours for Liar."
"It was another prank."
"What? He just told me to meet him at Haeundae."
(He told me to meet him at Haeundae.)
All of 46th class of Yongju Elementary School...
- are victims of Liar's pranks. - Liar.
Alumni reunions is in the danger of disappearing.
My alumni and I send this story with a single wish.
Please help Liar get it together.
(Liar, please get it together.)
It's natural for friends to pull pranks.
However, we are talking about a 52-year-old.
When we are young,
we have the energy for them and find them entertaining.
However, it's not the same for those over 50.
- I agree. - "That jerk!"
(They cannot control their anger.)
Let's meet the person who sent the story. Come on out.
(Whose worry involves a prankster in his 50s?)
It's a woman.
(He pulls pranks on a woman.)
They went to the same elementary school.
(Jung Soon Ja)
Please introduce yourself.
My name is Jung Soon Ja...
and I came from Daegu to tame Liar.
(Welcome.)
When did you graduate from elementary school?
I graduated in 1978.
It has been 38 years.
Has Liar always been a prankster since then?
No. Back then, he didn't pull pranks.
- He was different back then. - That's right.
I reconnected with friends thanks to an application...
and witnessed him changing for the worse.
When did he begin to change?
It started in earnest about two years ago.
What kind of pranks does he pull?
Liar's clothing store is 15 minutes away from my home.
He calls me and goes,
"Your friend of 30 years is at my shop, hurry over."
Then I go over to the store all excited.
When I get there, he goes,
"I lied!"
It's ridiculous.
(It's ridiculous.)
- "I lied!" - He does that.
He should remember that he is 52 years old.
"I lied!"
- He makes hearts with fingers. - It's annoying.
One day, he called me.
"Gather a few friends."
I ask him why and he says, "Let's take a trip."
I gathered a few friends.
However, he didn't show up so I called him...
and he said, "I am having a check-up. My anus..."
I shouldn't say it so bluntly.
- He was getting a colonoscopy. - I was flustered.
- He didn't show up. - This is nothing, though.
He told me to pick him up at Palgong Mountain,
so I went there in the freezing winter.
When I called him, he said, "Wait for a bit."
So I waited.
However, I couldn't reach him for two hours.
I asked him where he was and he says, "At my store!"
He was being a little...
He was being annoying.
(We understand how frustrated you are.)
This is like stand-up comedy show.
I couldn't get back home...
- because the road was frozen. - That's right.
I could hear cries of animals. I was so scared.
(Howling)
Don't do that.
I ended up spending the night in my car.
- You spent the night. - That's right.
Didn't your husband say something?
- Of course he did. - Don't get angry at me.
(Don't get angry at me.)
I am only asking.
One day, he kept calling me when I was cooking dinner.
My husband said, "Are you two having an affair?"
(Are you two having an affair?)
My goodness.
- He could think that. - What did you say?
I said, "No one in my alumni is having an affair!"
He said, "My friends said everyone has affairs there."
- He said that. - This is so funny.
I am right, though.
My husband doesn't understand...
because he doesn't go out much.
Please calm down a little.
He fooled you over and over again.
Why don't you ignore him?
- Don't go out even if he asks. - Ignore him.
I cannot tell him to stop calling me.
- Why not? - I've known him for 50 years.
Other than my friends, what will give me joy?
- Pardon? - My son moved away as he got married...
and he doesn't call me often.
My husband is always busy drinking...
so I can't just cut him out of my life.
I like my friends calling me once in a while.
However, you want to fix his bad habits.
His bad habits have to be fixed today.
Only then will my face as vice president be saved.
- You're the vice president. - That's right.
- I heard our staff struggled a lot. - Yes.
It was very hard for them to reach him.
He thought she was lying to him...
about going on Hello to take revenge on him.
He didn't believe it and didn't pick up the phone.
(He didn't believe it until the end.)
He couldn't believe her.
- Because he always lies. - He always lies.
- He thought she was lying. - Where are you?
Hello.
(Who is the 52-year-old prankster?)
- He looks like a liar. - He looks cheeky.
- He looks like a liar. - Hello.
Would you mind if we called you Liar?
Go ahead.
(He's so cool.)
You don't need to act cool.
Now you believe that you're on Hello, right?
At first, I thought my friends were joking.
The writer sent me a picture.
I wouldn't believe it, so she sent it to me.
- That's when I believed it. - Which picture is it?
(That's amazing.)
(This is the KBS variety show office. Trust me.)
That's the picture of our office.
All the show titles are written there.
- She sent the picture of our office. - Yes.
At first, I couldn't believe it.
When I called, a man picked up.
Usually, a woman answers the phone.
I said I don't trust him...
- Why did you stop? - What happened?
- Why did you stop? - I think he's lost for words.
- He lost for words. - Are you trying to lie?
- He lost for words. - It's a lie!
- By the way... - Why do you always lie?
- Why do you pull pranks? - It's fun.
My friends keep falling for them...
so I appeal to them strongly.
What?
(Is his brain overloaded again?)
- He stopped again. - Are you...
not feeling well?
It's because he'd been lying too much.
- He can't remember. - He can't tell what's real.
He's confused about what's real or not.
- You keep doing it because they enjoy it? - Yes.
It's fun for me. Whenever they laugh at my pranks,
- I feel delighted. - Yes.
However, she's a woman.
You made her spend the night in the mountains.
It must've been scary for her and her husband...
- would have been mad. - That's her problem.
Even though she's a woman?
How many times a day do you lie?
About three to four times.
I call my friends about 20 times a day.
What time do you start?
My shop is quiet between 12pm to 5pm.
- You pull pranks for five hours? - Yes.
When do you work?
Did your other friends get pranked, too?
Yes. About 40 out of 60 friends get it.
They are nice people to be put up with it.
Let's meet his friends. They're sitting next to him.
Hello. I am the alumni president Choi Young Joo.
He's the alumni president.
I'm Gil Yong Soo and we've been friends since infancy.
Goodness!
I'm Liar's friend from Guro.
- Hello. - Hello.
How did he prank you when you live in Seoul?
He said he was coming to Seoul by the express train...
so we made an appointment to have drinks.
However,
he never showed up at the bar.
I waited for about three hours...
- I think. - That's long.
When I went home and called him,
he asked me why I waited.
I got really annoyed.
A month ago, he said...
he was coming to see the ocean.
He told me to fetch him at Gupo Station.
I work during the weekdays...
so I told him not to lie to me.
I told him I didn't trust him.
After a while, he sent me...
a picture of the train ticket. He told me to fetch him.
I stopped my work and waited for him.
He wasn't showing up even after an hour.
I thought it was too much.
So I called him. When I called,
he was busy selling clothes.
After that time, I don't trust anything he says.
- Where's the ticket from? - I leave out the date.
I erased the bottom part so he can't see the date.
When I send it, they all fall for it.
(Everyone falls for it.)
- Okay. - How about you?
Two days before the alumni meeting,
he called me.
He wanted to pull a prank on our alumni manager.
I asked him what we should do.
We pay 50 dollars for our alumni organisation.
He said we should pay him in coins.
- What? - Pay him in what?
- Coins. - I thought it would be fun.
We didn't just get 50 cent coins.
We got 50 cent coins and 10 cent coins.
When I was carrying the coins, he looked at me.
He wondered what I was holding.
I said, "Here you go." and threw it to him.
He was shocked,
and I thought he'll have to count coins all day.
About 10 minutes after he started counting,
Liar came in.
He stuck his hands in his pockets...
and swaggered like this...
but he wasn't carrying any coins.
He was supposed to bring a bag of coins.
He counted five bills and gave it to the manager.
Gosh. After that,
I'm startled to see his number pop up on my phone.
I'm not the only one who doesn't get him, right?
(He meant to say he got fooled by Liar.)
It was as if he was rapping.
This is enough to really upset them.
What will you do if they outcast you?
We are at the age...
where we experience menopausal symptoms.
Right? We are at that age.
However, when I have fun with my friends,
those symptoms seem to subside.
I came here to be of help to our group.
I wouldn't have come if it was just for me.
I'm the one suffering a loss, not them.
If it weren't for me,
how would they appear on TV with such faces, right?
(I feel pranked again.)
They should be as handsome as me.
Do you prank your family, too?
I have a son who doesn't trust me at all.
- Is he your son? - He's the son.
- Hello. - Hello.
Is your father really naughty?
He was born naughty.
It's in his nature. He even pranks other parents...
at parents' meetings.
They come to me to check...
if what he says are true but they're all lies.
What kind of lies have you heard?
When I'm out, he would lie that Mum is sick...
or tell me that there's an emergency at home.
When I get home, he says that he was just bored.
Then you won't believe much of what he says.
I don't believe anything he says.
- I... - You don't believe anything he says.
Has he ever ruined something important with his lies?
Yes. It was really annoying. I hate him.
- Why? - We were supposed to have a meal...
with my daughter's fiancé.
When we were in the car, he called.
He said there was an emergency at the store...
and I should hurry back. When I got there,
he said, "It's a lie!".
I was so annoyed.
- That appointment was important. - Yes.
- So... - Your daughter...
should have been the priority. Why go to him?
You should have gone to her first.
Don't you sense...
- he's lying by now? - You get fooled a lot.
He always sounds so convincing.
- Even so... - Also,
it's been a long time since I reconnected with them.
Most of them come to my store.
He's lying only 80 percent of the time.
I think about the other 20 percent.
Sometimes he tells the truth.
Even if you are friends,
whenever he asks you to meet up over the phone,
- your husband... - He must be upset.
- can't be pleased. - I agree.
I'm sure he's annoyed.
What does he think of your friend?
He thinks we're having an affair.
We talk five times a day on the phone.
- That's too much. - He'd say that.
We got her husband on the phone with difficulty.
- We have him on the phone. - I'm curious.
- He's been listening in. - He must be drinking.
- He's been listening in. - He heard everything.
- Hello.
- Hello, Sir.
- Hello. - Hello.
What do you think of your wife's friend, Liar?
I hate him so much.
Just thinking about him makes my blood boil.
I hate how he pranks...
my wife.
- Hello? - Yes, go on.
Sometimes, when I come home from work,
she's not at home...
and I have to order in.
I order two portions...
and one bowl gets thrown out.
You don't like her meeting him so often.
- Of course. - I see.
Does he call her often, too?
- They talk five to six times a day. - Okay.
- We fight a lot... - Okay.
and I even thought about divorce.
- He's very serious. - I am serious.
When were you most upset?
When she went to Palgong Mountain.
- He stood her up... - At Palgong Mountain.
and she had to spend the night there alone.
I even checked the surveillance cameras.
It's understandable.
- Right. - Of course.
You must fight a lot because of him.
We fight a lot.
Whenever she meets her alumni friends,
I tell her to just go live with them.
I even say that.
He sounds very upset.
Lastly, please say...
- Yes? - what's on your mind to her friend.
If you keep this up,
we may get divorced.
Keep pranking her if that's what you want.
If not, I hope you won't contact her again.
- That's all. - He's very firm.
He's considering this very seriously.
I never thought they would be so serious.
Honestly, I have no hidden agenda.
I don't like girls like Jung Soon Ja.
(Soon Ja is not my type at all.)
Even though I heard they were friends,
I thought there was something else going on.
When you watch "The Clinic for Married Couples",
you sometimes see friends falling in love.
"The Clinic for Married Couples"?
Why don't you promise you'll behave from now on?
- Hello. - Hello.
I normally call Soon Ja five times a day...
but I'll only call once a day from now.
No, don't call her at all.
He doesn't want you to call at all.
All right. I'll change my target...
from Soon Ja to someone else.
(Fine, I'll bother someone else.)
All right. Sir.
- Yes. - Thank you for calling in.
No problem. Goodbye.
Were there any friends he lost touch with...
- from doing pranks? - No way.
- There was one. It was a really bad prank. - Why?
We wanted him to come here but we couldn't reach him.
- We can't get in touch with him. - Why not?
It's been about a month. Gil Ho told him...
there is a good piece of land up for sale.
At first, our friend wasn't interested...
but Gil Ho kept at it and our friend got interested.
He travelled from Busan to Hapcheon every weekend.
- To look at the land? - It's a four-hour round trip.
He bought the land for 10,000 dollars.
He bought it?
Yes. He had to pay a deposit of 1,000 dollars first.
After the deposit was sent,
Gil Ho told him it was a joke. He was heartbroken.
On top of that, he's our group's secretary.
- What happened to the 1,000 dollars? - The 1,000?
He gave him the money back.
Even so, our friend is heartbroken.
He had to break his pension insurance for the land.
- Pension insurance? - Yes, his pension insurance.
He had to pay 1,600 dollars for early cancellation.
- 1,600 dollars is huge for people like us. - Yes.
Why did you do such a thing?
It's because he's stupid.
None of the other friends believed me.
I think he was interested in investing in some land.
I feel bad now when I think about it.
- Did he not come today because he's mad? - Yes.
It's been about a week since we last talked.
He doesn't pick up our calls either.
It wasn't easy but we got him on the phone.
Is he here?
- No, he's not here. - We have him on the line.
- Hello? - Hello.
- My goodness. - Hello, nice to meet you.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
I want to thank you for agreeing to talk to us.
- No problem. - Let us check something first.
Were you scammed by your friend, Gil Ho?
I was speechless then. I felt like our friendship...
of 52 years broke into pieces all at once.
That's how you felt?
I have a special relationship with this friend.
We even have the same birthday.
It would be great if you could speak to him...
- as he is such an old friend. - Okay.
- Gil Ho. - What is it?
You really hurt me this time.
I know.
I want you to sincerely apologise...
in front of the nation.
It's okay to play pranks for fun...
but I want you to promise not to take it too far.
- I got it. - Apologise to him.
You know how I feel, right?
- I do. - I love you, my friend.
- Okay. - Let's get along from now on.
You have to apologise.
- You have to apologise. - Say that you're sorry.
- Tell him you're sorry. - For me,
that is an apology.
(That's just my style.)
- You know that, right? - I do.
Thank you.
- All right. - Thank you.
(Thank you.)
Lies and jokes...
are fine as long as everyone enjoys it.
Can you promise not to cross the line from now on?
I won't lie about land any more.
You should never stand people up, too.
I need to do that once in a while.
(I can't give that up.)
I didn't know that it would snow on Gatbawi then.
Is there anything else you'd like to say?
We're 52 years old now.
- We're not young, right? - Yes.
I want him to know the limit.
It's already hard as it is to gather people.
He makes it harder for me.
Even with him, he was mad and didn't talk until now.
I want him to stop with the pranks.
- That's all I want to ask. - Okay.
What do you think? Is it a worry?
- I don't think it's a worry. - Okay.
I don't think it's a worry either.
If he's playing pranks where no one gets hurt,
I think it's a lot of fun.
On the other hand, I'm kind of jealous.
They have grown old together...
but they still bicker and have fun as friends.
I'm jealous in that way. However, if I was getting...
fooled, it would be a worry. I think it's a worry.
I don't think it's a worry.
If you think it's a worry, press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, - 5, 4,
- 3, 2, 1. - 3, 2, 1.
That's it.
"Are You Reading That Again?" received 157 votes.
- It's impossible to beat. - That's right.
If he wins, that would be a lie.
(It would be another lie.)
Show us the result.
(The result)
- 100? - 100 votes...
- It went over 100. - Wow.
- It might overthrow it. - It's over 100.
(No way.)
I'd say 102 votes.
102 votes.
(Eliminated)

Congratulations.

Hello will continue to counsel you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
(Hello will continue to counsel you.)
(Let's pick our reaction king. Who will win?)
- It must have been difficult. - It was so hard.
(You're today's reaction king.)
