I'll introduce today's guests.

- Sung Dae Hyun! - Sung Dae Hyun!
Hello.
- Gong Myoung. - Gong Myoung.
(Gong Myoung is the rising star.)
- Moon Se Yoon. - Moon Se Yoon!
(Moon Se Yoon is the master of eating shows.)
Welcome.
The weather is very humid and hot, and it's stressful.
- Food is the best remedy for stress. - Right.
- What should we eat?
You should either eat something hot and sweat...
or eat something really cold and shiver.
When you stuff yourself with good food and...
take a good nap,
- you won't have any worries. - Of course.
Since we have young guests here,
- she brought some food. - She did?
Really? What did you bring?
It's rainy and the weather is so humid.
I wanted you to gain energy,
so I cooked some chicken soup with beans.
- Chicken soup? - Yes.
I hope it's good.
- It's chicken soup. - I cooked it this morning.
It looks beautiful too.
(He's touched.)
- This is a big bowl. - That's Yeong Ja's.
Right. That's for Yeong Ja.
I'm so lucky.
And the other big bowl is for Se Yoon.
(Se Yoon already took the big bowl.)
You can eat it at night when you feel hungry.
It's delicious.
- It's very light. - It is.
Se Yoon, show us how you eat.
(It makes them exclaim in delight!)
- It's not salty. It's delicious. - It's good.
I feel the happiest at moments like this.
It's fascinating that jujube goes well with chicken.
- Yes, it makes good broth. - The broth is nice.
- Yes. - The broth is amazing.
In the hot summer,
you need a nice bowl of chicken soup.
All right, Yeong Ja.
Please stop eating.
(He begs Yeong Ja to stop eating.)
We need to get started.
If someone asks me to choose between...
this and marriage, I'd choose this.
(The chicken soup is more important than marriage.)
"Are You Reading That Again?" won twice so far.
He looks a bit like Dae Hyun.
- That's what we thought. - Me?
Do you have any lost brothers?
- I'm surprised. - Because he looks like you?
He looks like when I was chubby.
He looks exactly like my passport picture.
- Really? - Passport picture.
- I was really surprised. - Passport picture.
Let's see if they will win again today.
We'll give the winner a 1,000 dollars gift certificate.
This story is titled "Dad, Please".
I think...
it's too tough for...
a 19-year-old girl.
Hello. I'm Choi Su Bin. I'm a 19-year-old girl...
from Jecheon, North Chungcheong Province.
I live with my dad, and...
it's almost impossible to see my dad.
"Dad, it's already 3am. When are you coming home?"
"I'm in the middle of a golf game. Bye."
- At 3am? - At 3am.
"Dad, it's 8am. You stayed up all night."
"Gosh, hang up!"
My dad is busy every night...
playing golf and drinking with his friends.
It's a drinking problem again.
All week he comes home early in the morning.
She asked her dad. "Do you know what day it is today?"
"Today? I'm going to the Philippines to play golf."
"Look after the house."
It was my birthday that day.
I spent my birthday alone.
My dad always pushes me aside.
"Dad, I'm not well, so I came home early."
"I'm too sick."
"So? Why are you telling me that?"
- What? - It sounds like a lie, doesn't it?
- Maybe he's not her dad. - That's...
what he really said.
He doesn't care even if his daughter is sick.
He squanders all the money for his leisure.
"Su Bin, I'm going golfing."
"Can you lend me some money?"
- He asked his daughter? - What?
"Please lend me some money."
- "Lend me 300 dollars." - No way.
I am a high school senior.
I don't know if he's raising me or I'm raising him.
Can you help him to come to his senses?
He's an immature dad.
Dae Hyun, a story like that makes you upset, right?
- You cherish your daughter. - I am so upset.
He has to fulfil his responsibility as her dad.
But he's just neglecting her.
And she's his daughter.
He's not neglecting her. He's using her.
I don't understand it.
Dae Hyun, even when you don't have any work to do,
you don't ask your daughter for money, right?
Have you ever gotten your hands on her money?
He must've done it before.
- Tell us. - To be funny, just say you have.
- That's not it. - Be honest with us.
- Come on. - This is what happened.
My daughter...
once gave me 50 dollars and told me to keep it.
Really. It happened just once.
- You've never asked her for money. - So?
He kept it, of course.
It hurt my pride a lot, and I felt bad.
But I wanted to keep it. So I did.
I told her I'd make sure to pay her back.
You haven't paid her back, have you?
I did pay her back.
- That... - How long did it take you?
It took quite a while.
Anyway,
I was touched, and she made me emotional.
- I understand. - All right.
Please come out.
(Who is the girl with a neglecting dad?)
(Choi Su Bin)
She's a baby.
She's cute.
You look very adorable.
- She is cute. - Do you live just with your dad?
My parents got divorced early this year.
So my mum...
Let's give her some water.
There is so much water in here.
(We have so much water.)
- Here. Do you want the bottle? - Thank you.
She must be very nervous and sad.
Why is your dad so busy?
He's usually busy playing sports.
Since five years ago, he joined a lot of clubs.
Golf, foot volleyball and baseball club.
He's a member in those three clubs.
Recently, he's really into golfing.
He always plays screen golf,
then drinks and comes home around 2 to 3am.
Oh, dear.
He has to work during weekdays,
but he files for leaves to go out to the field.
Many times he came home around 6am.
- That's a problem. - Yes.
He often sleeps out, too.
- I gave my dad a nickname. - What is it?
He doesn't save money and just squanders it.
- So I gave him the nickname "mayfly". - You did.
He's really like a mayfly, though.
He earns about 2,000 to 3,000 dollars a month.
He uses them all for buying drinks or playing golf.
When he really needs money, he doesn't have money.
So he borrows money from me,
a minimum of 50 to maximum of 300 dollars.
- He borrowed about... - How much did he take?
1,000 dollars.
- That's the amount he borrowed? - Yes.
He borrowed 1,000 dollars and didn't pay you back?
- That's right. - Oh, dear.
- How do you earn money? - I'm doing a part-time job.
I work to afford the things I want to have.
- You're such a good girl. - Good girl.
Then, you started paying for the living expenses.
- Yes. - What is your part-time job?
On weekends, I serve at a restaurant for five hours.
I also work at a barbecue place for another five hours.
On weekdays, I work for about two days.
- She's a hard-working 19-year-old. - Gosh.
- She matured too fast. - Yes.
Let's meet her dad who lives like there's no tomorrow.
- Hello. - Hello.
He's so happy that he has raised his two arms.
- Why do you always go out? - They look alike.
- I love going out. - Please speak close to the mic.
- I love having fun. - Okay.
- That's a great thing to say first. - I'm...
- a member of three clubs. - Yes.
After work, I play screen golf, drink...
and play golf again at a nearby golf course.
So it becomes morning in no time.
- That's what happens. - You're saying...
you do it because you like it.
- But your daughter is alone all night. - Yes.
- She's alone. - She's only in high school.
Aren't you worried?
When I'm outside, I don't worry about her.
(When he's out having fun, he's not worried.)
Oh, dear.
- When I... - He's not worried.
You talk as if you're 20 years old.
Even preschool kids don't talk like him.
(Even preschool kids will be shocked.)
- Aside from that, you forgot her birthday. - Yes.
I had to go abroad with my co-members.
When I came back, I forgot about it.
Do you even know when her birthday is?
- May 24. - May 24.
Of course you... When is it?
- In solar calendar? - When's your birthday?
- May 19. - May 19.
- She says it's May 19. - Yes, it's May 19.
Do you have another daughter?
He admits it really fast.
- Aren't you tired from all those activities? - Gosh.
- You must be very fit. - Yes.
When I'm into something,
- I have to get to a certain level. - I see.
You should be into your daughter, then.
She's a high school senior. You should...
- give attention to your daughter. - He should be.
- Right. But dads are... - Quit those activities.
By the way, are you so desperate...
to borrow money from your daughter?
I play golf about 6 to 7 times a month.
It costs about 150 to 200 dollars each time.
- Yes. - I play screen golf twice a day.
- You must... - Why are you so confident?
I feel sorry to my daughter, of course.
- Gosh. - Oh, dear.
If you don't lend him money, what do you do...
- with it? - With your money.
I buy things for myself, but I also save.
- Do you save? - I don't save a lot.
I save about 350 dollars a month.
- I can't believe it. - She's just in high school.
I am the only child, and my dad squanders money.
I'm preparing an emergency fund.
- In case something happens. - How thoughtful she is.
- Oh gosh... - Are you saving because...
if something happens, you will shoulder it all?
Have you ever told your dad about this?
Does he know you have instalment savings?
- Yes, he knows. - You shouldn't have told him.
(She should not have told him.)
By the way, you receive about 2,000 to 3,000 dollars.
And you need to pay for the living expenses.
Does he give money to you?
- Does he give you money? - No.
He doesn't.
Doesn't he pay for the living expenses?
I asked him to give me about 150 dollars every month.
- Doesn't he give it to you? - Never.
I told him to give me, and he said okay.
But he's never given it to me.
- He won't give you 150 dollars? - No.
I always buy whatever we need at the house.
- Okay. - So she doesn't need any money.
- What does he buy? - What does he buy?
He doesn't buy anything.
One time, he called me in the middle of my work.
He told me to buy an electric fan on the way home.
- Really? - Oh, dear.
An electric fan? Not a folding fan?
- He asked his daughter to do that. - Recently,
we moved to a new place.
I couldn't carry the fan by myself. I always...
take a taxi going home. He never came to pick me up.
I took a taxi on that day, too. And I found out...
- You carried it yourself? - that he was home.
He was just lazy to go outside because it was hot.
- No way. - I can't believe that.
Did you pay her for the fan?
- I haven't paid her for that either. - That's crazy.
It's almost like you're extorting her.
- How much was the fan? - 50 dollars.
(It's her hard-earned money.)
In order to earn that with your part-time job,
how many hours do you have to work?
About 2 to 3 days.
I have to work 2 to 3 days, 5 hours a day.
- You should've given her money. - She works...
really hard and she doesn't even have a ride.
Why would you ask her to buy it?
You could've bought it on the way home.
I have a friend who drives a taxi.
So I told her I'd pay for the taxi if she calls him...
and bring the fan home. That's what I told her.
But you haven't paid me for both.
He didn't pay me for both.
How much was the taxi fare?
- 10... - It was around six dollars.
- So, it's 56 dollars. - It's 1,056 dollars in total.
We will get it from him today. Don't worry.
It's actually more than that.
If you give her a fixed amount every month,
this problem won't even come up.
You can apply for a direct debit.
- It's difficult. - That's a common method.
It's difficult to do it.
- You want to play more golf. - You want more golf.
You can go out to field and play screen golf 10 times.
- Yes. - Unbelievable.
- Oh, dear. - He's frustrating.
Let's say...
she's not well.
She suddenly becomes ill and gets hospitalised.
How will you live then?
Then, I will start saving money.
- You will start to save? - Yes.
- She's now ill. - You'll just save when it happens.
Yes. I always do things at the last minute.
Come to your senses.
(We hope he comes to his senses.)
This is crazy.
What do you think, Se Yoon?
I'm really frustrated and speechless.
I hope he has a bigger plan.
- Yes. - I really hope he does.
I wish he will surprise us with his plan.
Then, we will understand why he made her buy the fan.
(Maybe the fan was part of his big plan.)
And we will all apologise to him.
Sir, your daughter's doing two part-time jobs.
- Yes. - Have you been to her work?
Have you seen her working?
I went to her work once with my friends and drank.
(He drank at his daughter's work place.)
- At the restaurant she works? - Yes.
How did it make you feel?
It didn't look too tough.
Oh, dear.
- Oh, dear. - Was it...
Was it the barbecue...
- restaurant? - It must've been the barbecue place.
- Yes. - The problem is this.
When he came to the restaurant,
he could've asked me if I had eaten.
- But he didn't even bother. - But he...
The fridge was very close to him,
and yet he didn't get the drinks himself. I was busy.
On weekends, it gets really busy in the restaurant.
The tables get filled up all the time.
- That's really tough. - So I'm really busy.
And he asked me to get him a drink...
when the fridge was right next to him.
- He could have reached the fridge. - Yes.
Could it be that his legs were numb?
(Could it be that his legs were numb?)
He was the closest one to the fridge.
He ordered me around.
He called me only to order.
You should grab your own drink if Su Bin is working.
I was at the restaurant as a customer.
It would have been strange to grab my own drink.
You should have been more mindful of Su Bin.
I asked her for a drink because it is easier that way.
- This is unbelievable. - He is incorrigible.
What is the hardest about your part-time job?
A lot of my friends do not take part-time jobs.
They rest at home...
and go to places to have fun...
while I am occupied with part-time jobs.
- It must be hard. - I don't have free time.
(Students her age are still in school uniforms...)
(and roaming the street with friends at 5pm.)
(Su Bin hurriedly changes into a work uniform.)
(She begins to work.)
Su Bin works hard.
(She doesn't have time to rest.)
(She works diligently.)
Sometimes, I make mistakes and serve food late.
A lot of customers yell...
(A lot of customers yell.)
and get angry at me.
It must be hard to deal with difficult customers.
Serving at a barbecue restaurant is the hardest.
Do you clean the grills, too?
No, I don't. However, my back hurts...
from carrying them.
- You are so young. - She is 19 years old.
Your back should not be hurting.
(When she is cleaning dirty dishes,)
(she thinks, "I wish I had 10 bodies.")
(A childish thought enters her mind.)
(She suppresses the wants of a 19-year-old...)
(and works without a break.)
(The dark night comes.)
Bye.
(She takes her tired body...)
(to an empty house.)
It is natural for a family...
to have problems at home.
Have you sat down with your dad and told him...
that you are struggling in life?
Have you told him that?
- I have done it often. - What did he say?
He doesn't listen to me. At home,
he lies down and plays game on his phone.
- He plays game. - He also watches TV.
I once asked him for a massage...
because my body was aching.
He said that his body aches more.
- It must be because he plays golf. - That's right.
She is 19 years old,
but she is not living the life of one.
She should be filled with dreams and happiness.
She is not living the life of a 19-year-old.
As a dad, don't you want to make her happy?
I think of her as an adult.
Since I am busy with work,
I want her to do household chores.
I do not think of her when I am having fun outside.
(I do not think of her when I am having fun outside.)
Su Bin cried while she talked.
Her dad's face did not change,
but a girl sitting next to him kept on crying.
- Are you Su Bin's friend? - It seems that way.
- She must be Su Bin's friend? - Are you her friend?
Let's talk to Su Bin's friend. It's nice to meet you.
- Hello. - Hello.
You cried when Su Bin cried.
Do you understand her worry?
Yes. When she comes to school with puffy eyes,
I know that she fought with her dad the night before.
We had exams at school last week.
She could not do household chores...
since she was busy with exams and part-time jobs.
I heard that her dad got mad and used swear words.
She had no time because of exams and part-time jobs.
Her dad lacks understanding.
When are you most worried about her?
She always eats fast food...
- and order deliveries. - That's sad.
It makes me feel bad.
I heard that Su Bin's parents used to...
fight loudly in front of her.
She was traumatised.
When someone yells at her, she becomes scared.
My goodness.
She asks me to stay over at her place...
because her dad is rarely there.
I slept over about 10 times,
but never saw him come home.
(She never saw Su Bin's dad come home.)
I wish he would care for her.
He is her dad.
When do you need your dad the most?
When I am sick.
- It must have been hard. - She has struggled a lot.
(Thinking about it makes her tear up.)
Why does her dad make her cry?
I was so queasy one day that I kept throwing up.
My dad glanced over at me and kept playing games.
(Her dad kept playing games.)
Why didn't you tell your dad you were hurting?
Sometimes, I leave school because I am sick.
When I call him and tell him that,
he goes, "Why are you telling me that?"
- Did he really say that? - Who else would you tell?
He doesn't care even if I am sick.
He thinks I am faking it.
Have you ever brought back medicine?
He never has.
How can he disregard his daughter when she is sick?
How can he ask, "Why are you telling me that?"
- Seriously. - Why did you do that?
I honestly don't understand.
She called me during my work hours.
I couldn't leave.
She should have gone to the hospital.
Wait a minute.
Perhaps you will disagree with me,
but it's natural for a sick person to call her parents.
Who would call the hospital and go,
"I am sick."
She wanted to explain her situation...
and depend on you.
"Why are you telling me that?" That's nonsense.
- It's ridiculous. - She is only a teenager.
You look the other way when she is sick.
Why do you complain to her about the lack of money?
You take her money and ignore her when she is sick.
What kind of a dad does that?
Myoung, why are you teary-eyed?
Are you tired or too absorbed in the story?
Myoung.
To hear Su Bin talk about everything...
Go on.
- He is filled with emotions. - It's unbelievable.
- You feel bad. - That's right.
- What do you find the most heartbreaking? - Tell us.
- My goodness. - Keep your hands still.
His heart is breaking.
Maybe we should give him pen and paper.
(Maybe they need to communicate in writing.)
He is in no condition to talk.
What do you find the most heartbreaking?
She should be loved at that age.
She is a 19-year-old girl who lacks loving care.
That's right.
(Crying)
You are crying as if someone has died.
(You are crying as if someone has died.)
- I know. - Don't cry so hard.
People will mistake you for Su Bin's boyfriend.
- Look at Su Bin's dad. - I am so upset.
Say what you want to say to her dad.
What is wrong with you?
Ask away.
"What is wrong with you?"
- Seriously. - It's what all of us want to ask.
Please answer the question.
It's not that I hate Su Bin.
I am not very expressive.
You express your thoughts well.
- It's no excuse. - I think she is lovely,
but I don't know how to show it.
The problem is the lack of your action.
Who is the woman sitting next to him?
Hello, I am Su Bin's aunt.
Has Su Bin told you about her situation?
Ever since she was little,
Su Bin was lonely and lacked affection.
She is sensitive.
She has many relatives and we try to show her love.
There are people who love her.
I hope she would call me...
- whenever she is in need. - It's fortunate...
that you have relatives who care about you.
When were you most disappointed in your dad?
I am sure there were many incidents, but pick one.
I started working part-time to help my dad.
I try my best to stay out of his way.
When he is drunk, he says hurtful things.
"I am sick and tired of you. I want to live by myself."
- He says those things. - It's hurtful.
I stayed at a relative's house for a week or two.
Even during that time,
he told me that he doesn't need a daughter like me.
- Sir. - Why did you do that?
- Why did you say such things? - Su Bin is so nice.
She nagged me so much.
When I have a hard day at work,
I don't want to hear her nagging.
It made me very angry.
There are words you shouldn't say to your child.
You have done the unspeakable.
Perhaps there is a reason why...
Su Bin's dad said those words.
Does Su Bin look like her mum?
I think she is a spitting image of you.
I sometimes see my ex-wife in Su Bin.
Is that why you say those words?
The resemblance becomes apparent when I am drunk.
It makes me angry.
- It's still unforgivable. - She is your daughter.
- She is your daughter. She is doing well. - My gosh.
She is the one who is keeping the house together.
It was cruel of you to say those words.
- That's right. - Su Bin.
What did you nag at him about?
Here is the thing.
When he is sick,
he doesn't go to the hospital.
I nagged at him go to the hospital...
because I wanted to look after him.
He finds such attempts bothersome.
He smokes at home.
- At home? - He smokes at different locations...
such as living room, my room and bathroom.
Let me...
be frank with you.
Your daughter acts...
as your fence with her worries about your health.
That must be why you are living recklessly.
You are worse than a five-year-old.
It's thanks to Su Bin that you can live that way.
Let's say Su Bin...
gives up on you...
and leaves the house. If that happens,
I would think, "How will he live now?"
"He will be incredibly lonely."
I would be more worried about you.
If Su Bin leaves the house,
- her life would improve. - That's right.
- That's what I think. - That's right.
She would save more money...
and lead an independent life of an adult.
When you become an adult,
- will you live on your own? - You have a year left.
I pondered on the idea when I was stressed out,
but my father will be left alone without me.
You worry about him.
- She worries about him. - My goodness.
He doesn't have anyone to look after him.
He will continue living recklessly without me.
Sir, who do you think is in your life?
My daughter is the only one.
- What? - My daughter is the only one.
I think you are alone in your life.
You are alone in your life.
You say your daughter is the only one,
but you don't care about her.
Seriously.
Sir,
you agreed to visit Hello.
There are things you have done.
- You must know you have done wrong. - Yes.
Is there a reason why you still visited the show?
I want to know with what thoughts you came today.
Living together with Su Bin,
I knew she had complaints.
I wanted to hear...
what complaints she had,
so I could change.
I came here to listen.
Is the situation more serious than you imagined?
Yes, it is.
What shocked you the most?
I didn't look after her when she was sick.
- That's right. - It was the worst.
She must have been very sad.
I want to hear your thoughts.
I am sure you often expressed anger...
- and rarely gave compliments. - Compliment her.
I am sure you never paid Su Bin a compliment.
You should try it today.
- She is commendable. - She is so nice.
You should let the voice be heard that is in your mind.
I am sure it will be embarrassing...
to do so in front of an audience.
However, you must do it to bring about a change.
Praise her.
Begin with "My daughter is..."
- Begin with calling her name. - Su Bin.
I am sorry that I did not look after you.
Su Bin, you are a good girl...
who is diligent...
and popular.
(Su Bin is popular.)
I hope you would continue as you are.
- What about you? - What will you do?
I will change.
I will come home early once or twice a week...
to have conversations with you.
Let's become close from now on.
- Live your life for your daughter. - Okay.
Myoung, say a few words.
(Me?)
Ask him to change.
- Say, "Mate." - Mate.
(What?)
Be nice to Su Bin.
- Okay. - That was great.
- All right. - You did a good job.
What do you think?
- Is it a worry? - Hearing the story,
I felt heaviness...
in my heart.
If we have chicken soup left,
I would like to give a bowl to Su Bin.
I was planning on eating it.
I will give it to her.
I want to give it to Su Bin.
All right.
I would give birth again to have a daughter like her.
- I know. - It would be impossible.
I know that.
Please press the button.
Do you think it's a worry?
I think it is.
Try the chicken soup.
- Hye Jung made it. - Try it.
- It's very tasty. - It must be cold now.
You will be surprised.
It's very tasty.
The soup tastes great.
Thank you.
- How cute! - My goodness.
I hope it makes you feel better.
Dae Hyun.
Since Su Bin's dad promised to change,
I believe their relationship will improve.
That's why...
I will not press the button.
If Su Bin calls in the future...
and says that her dad has not changed,
I will go to their house...
teach Su Bin's dad a lesson.
He is around my age.
Even if you don't go,
- I am sure Myoung will. - That's right.
I leave the task with you.
- Is it a worry or not? - I think it's a worry.
Se Yoon?
I think it's a worry, too.
People who has eaten meat can enjoy the taste.
So that Su Bin can spread love to other people,
her dad will need to give her love.
We are keeping her from eating...
by talking about her.
- Eat up. - It's chicken soup.
Do you want me to help?
(Do you want me to help?)
For goodness' sake.
- Stop it. - Seriously.
If you think it is 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.
Sir,
- say a few words to Su Bin. - With your heart.
Su Bin, from now on...
I will drive you to school...
even if it is bothersome.
(My goodness.)
I will support you no matter what.
Let us...
live happily. I love you.
- Pay her back. - Give her 1,000 dollars.
It was 1,560 dollars.
- It was 1,056 dollars. - That's right.
When will you give the money back to Su Bin?
It won't be easy to pay at once.
I will pay you back...
when I go to Jecheon and get this month's salary.
How much will you pay her back?
1,056 dollars.
He is precise.
All right.

Show us the result.
Su Bin's dad will change...

Will it get 158 votes?
- My goodness. - What will it be?
Will it get 158 votes?
What will it be?
("Dad, Please" takes a win.)
My goodness.
(I am finally free.)
Tell us next week...
- if you have been paid. - You should.
This is perfect.
We will check next week.
Please change.
Congratulations. Thank you.
I hope their relationship improves.
- How cute! - Please move to your seats.
"Dad, Please" takes the first win.
(The winning worry has been replaced.)
Give your daughter a hug.
- Give her a hug. - Give her a hug.
They look alike.
You should give her a hug.
This is the kind of worry we have never seen.
We have a woman whose worry involves her son-in-law.
She is a mother-in-law.
We never had a mother-in-law send in a worry.
- It's unusual. - It's a distant relationship.
"Why Do You Keep Doing This?"
This was sent by a mother-in-law in her 50s.
Hello.
You don't sound like a woman in her 50s.
Hello. Stop it.
(I am doing this right.)
You sound too old.
She must have struggled because of this worry.
I am a woman in my 50s...
and all of my children are married.
It's difficult to do the voice of a woman in her 50s.
- You are right. - I know it is hard.
I think she is 58 years old.
I bet she is 59 years old and was born in February.
(I bet she is 59 years old and was born in February.)
They say women love their sons-in-law.
My son-in-law...
reliable,
nice...
and good with household chores.
- He does have a big flaw. - What could it be?
"Mother-in-law!"
"Mother-in-law, you are here."
My goodness.
My son-in-law drinks...
365 days a year.
I hope he would drink on his own.
"Mum."
"My husband dragged me to a bar again."
"This happens way too often."
"I have work tomorrow. I am so tired."
He drags my daughter with him when he drinks.
One day, my daughter called me at 10pm.
"Mum, my husband is incredibly drunk."
"He says that he can't come home. What should I do?"
I had to drive with my daughter to get him.
He shouldn't make his mother-in-law struggle.
It has been three years since my daughter got married.
I want grandchildren already.
"Mother-in-law."
"A child will come when the time is right."
"I must go to drink with my friends."
(I must go to drink with my friends.)
He only cares about drinking.
I don't care that he is my precious son-in-law.
Until when will you live like this?
Stop drinking so much!
(Stop drinking so much!)
I smoked and drank...
up to the age of 30.
- When I hit 30, - How commendable!
I quit them.
- I think it's incredible. - It's commendable.
Most people can't quit bad habits.
However, Dae Hyun quit...
after the scandal.
(However, Dae Hyun quit after the scandal.)
Were you involved in a scandal?
- I have no idea. - I took a wild guess.
(I took a wild guess.)
He is fooling around.
I thought there might have been a scandal.
I am sorry if I was wrong.
(I am sorry if I was wrong.)
I have received many worries,
but this is the first one from a mother-in-law.
I know.
Please welcome her with a round of applause.
(Whose worry involves a son-in-law who drinks a lot?)
(Son Jung Suk)
Welcome.
I am sure he doesn't drink every day.
He drinks 365 days out of the year.
- Every single day? - Of course.
You can't be certain, though.
They both work, so I wanted to help out with cleaning.
I went out to the balcony,
and everywhere from boxes to the attic...
was filled with empty liquor bottles.
I gather the empty bottles...
and sell them to the bottle return depot.
Do you get about 10 cents per bottle these days?
- It's 4 cents per bottle. - I see, 4 cents.
I make about 100 dollars every year from doing that.
- 100 dollars? - Yes.
- From selling them? - How many bottles is that?
That's about 2,500 bottles.
That means he drinks about seven bottles a day.
- That's amazing. - I know.
One day, my daughter called me and said, "Mum."
"My husband is driving me crazy."
"He's drunk, and he's telling me to come to Gimhae."
So I picked up my daughter and went to Gimhae.
She drove his car on our way back,
so we followed each other back home.
I don't even do that for my own son,
but I did it for my son-in-law. How is this possible?
- Exactly. - From what we just heard,
I think he's spoiled because his wife...
and mother-in-law are both too nice.
(He's really out of line.)
Do you and your son-in-law get along well usually?
We get along so well.
- So things are good usually? - Very good.
My son-in-law, Choi Byung Jin, drinks a lot, but...
- She called him by his full name. - She did.
- "Choi Byung Jin is..." - Yes.
- "He drinks a lot, but..." - He drinks,
but he never behaves inappropriately when he's drunk.
- That's good. - When he visits my place,
he often has a glass of drink with my husband.
Then when my husband sings "Girl from Soyang River",
he claps like this and sings along.
Bird, bird, bird
- Bird, bird, bird - Bird, bird, bird
That's what they do. My husband is 63 years old,
and he actually quit drinking five months ago.
- Five months ago? - Yes.
Then you can now only worry about your son-in-law.
Yes. They need to have a baby, too.
- That's right. - I'm worried about his health, too.
- Of course. - My daughter teaches at a kindergarten.
She wants to relax at home,
but she's out until late because of him.
- To save money. - Yes, it frustrates me so much.
- It's understandable. - Those things upset me.
Let's meet your son-in-law now.
Please shout his full name.
Choi Byung Jin!
Hello.
(Who is the son-in-law that drinks every day?)
I can definitely tell that he loves to drink.
- Look at the tone of his skin. - Right.
- It shows how much he drinks. - The colour...
- of the skin on his face... - To me, he looks...
as if he just came out of a wine barrel.
His skin looks dark.
Did you drink yesterday, too?
- I drank 6 cans of beer. - He drank 6 cans of beer.
- The long one, right? - That's not too much.
Yes, because of this show.
- That's not too bad. - To look good today.
You need to drink at least 4 to 5 bottles of soju...
a day to be called a big drinker.
I only drink 1 bottle of soju and 6 bottles of beer.
That's how much I drink every day.
We heard you drink 2,500 bottles per year.
- She made 100 dollars. - I absolutely...
cannot drink that much alone.
- You drank with you friends? - Yes, I did.
Your mother-in-law comes over and collects bottles.
Doesn't it make you uncomfortable?
After selling the empty bottles once,
she kind of started to look forward to doing it again.
(She looks forward to it.)
It's like a side job for her.
So do you drink more to make your mother-in-law happy?
- Yes, sort of. - Gosh.
Doesn't it make you want to say "I'll drink less"?
It must embarrass you.
I know for a fact that I won't keep that promise.
I don't want to disappoint her,
so I can't say that to her.
Does drinking daily like that affect your work at all?
I sweat a lot as soon as I start working...
- in the morning. - You sweat off your hangover.
Right. I feel fine after sweating.
So you've never struggled the next day?
I have. Every morning, I think I should quit.
However, when I get off work...
You can't resist it after work.
What kind of work do you do?
- I'm in equipment maintenance. - I see.
Your father-in-law quit drinking five months ago.
Have you ever thought that you should quit, too?
I must say that I'm really disappointed in him.
- Is it because he quit? - You're disappointed?
Whenever we visit my wife's parents,
- I get so bored. - The fun is gone.
So do you want him to continue drinking?
Yes, I'd really appreciate it.
He said he'd appreciate it.
(I can only laugh because I'm baffled.)
He must've visited you...
to get your approval on marrying your daughter.
I guess you had no idea how much he loves to drink.
I didn't know at all.
- When my daughter was 20 years old, - Yes.
she wanted to leave home become a Buddhist monk.
- I see. - Really?
Yes. She did 3,000 prostrations at Temple Tongdo.
One day, she said out of the blue...
that she wants to marry someone.
I was so surprised and told her to bring him home.
I had no choice, though.
She wanted to become a monk but changed her mind.
- Right. - I had to trust her.
So I just let her get married without asking anything.
Then let me ask your daughter.
What about him was attractive enough...
for you to change your decision of becoming a monk?
I found his mindset to be refreshing.
- His mindset? - What does that mean, exactly?
- Please elaborate. - Was it pure and untainted?
- In what way? - He was naive yet independent.
- He was a hard worker, too. - Right.
I thought, "This guy must be spiritual."
"I should marry him."
Did he not use to drink back then?
He did drink a lot,
but I loved him,
so I tried to understand it and think of it...
- Right. - as a process of disciplining my mind.
- Love blinded her. - If I can love this side...
- of him, I thought... - You were head over heels.
- that he'd try to keep it under control. - Right.
- But he doesn't. - He can't control it,
- so I'm quite exhausted. - You must be.
You're done with disciplining your mind.
Yes. It's fine if it's for 1 or 2 days,
- but it's not like I'm a monk. - You're right.
Your mother told us that you can't drink.
No, I can't drink at all.
Then why do you go out with him?
When I tell him that I'd like to rest at home,
he keeps calling me to make me join him.
I also get worried about him getting overly drunk.
- Right. - When I join him,
I see his friends and his minions...
- Minions! - "His minions".
- They... - She has a negative opinion of them.
drink until they drop,
- They drink until they drop. - so I get worried.
You seem quiet, but you have a pretty foul mouth.
- I have a lot bottled up inside. - I'm sure you do.
Men rarely want their wives to join them like that.
I want my wife around me all the time.
That's why I ask her to join me.
It should be just the two of you, then.
- Stay at home, then. - Why do you have to go out?
That's a separate issue.
I like to drink alcohol.
And you don't like your wife?
- He loves her. - I love my wife.
- This is what he's saying. - That's not true.
I think that my husband...
thinks of me as his driver.
Once, his friend was getting married,
so we went out for drinks with him in Seomyeon, Busan.
It went on until 4am.
I can't drink at all, so I was there feeling exhausted.
Then he said, "You didn't drink, so you should drive."
So I had to drive for an hour to go back to Changwon.
- All the way to Changwon? - By yourself?
Yes. All of my husband's friends were passed out...
- and snoring. - You drove all of them home.
It was foggy, so I couldn't really see the road.
- My goodness. - As I was driving,
- I felt so sad. - This is making angry.
I was like, "What am I doing right now?"
Looking back, we didn't even have our wedding night...
to ourselves.
(Our wedding night was like that, too.)
- Was he drunk that night, too? - Did he pass out?
We spent our wedding night at our new home,
- Did he stay out all night? - but his friends...
- came over. - My goodness.
On your wedding night?
(Her mother is shocked!)
They should've left...
- after drinking a bit. - Those minions of his.
However, they drank until 3am...
and kept telling me to bring out food.
So it was like a house warming party.
- Right. - That's how my wedding night went.
Did his friends stay over that night?
- They stayed for two nights. - No!
- Gosh! - That's crazy!
- I'm so annoyed. - But...
We had to leave for our honeymoon, so we got up at 4am.
- I said, "You guys can stay here," - Ridiculous.
"but make sure to lock the door."
So you let them stay there and left for your honeymoon?
Yes, I did. We couldn't cancel our honeymoon.
I'm sure you got to spend time with him...
on your honeymoon because it was just the two of you.
He should've tried to make it up to me,
but beer was cheap there.
He drank beer at every meal,
- Gosh. - so we never had a proper first night.
Sir, she's saying you drank and passed out.
- On your honeymoon. - Did you do it alone?
I was very tired from the night before,
so I drank beer and fell asleep when we arrived there.
It's all because of his minions.
- He kept drinking until the day before. - Right.
- He was still drunk. - His liver needed a rest.
But can men be like that?
- It was his honeymoon. - It's possible.
How could he just fall asleep after drinking?
- I can't even imagine doing such a thing. - Ask him.
- Your wife is exhausted. - It shows on her face.
She's patiently putting up with you now,
- but it'll be different later. - She may leave you.
You saw me badmouthing my husband on TV shows, right?
What will you do if she does that?
- His wife has... - That's what worries me the most.
- reached her limit. - Definitely.
I'm scared that she might end up giving up on you.
She seems so stressed out.
Sir, could you tell us your age if you don't mind?
I'm 37 years old.
- 37? - Yes.
When men are at that age and married, it's rare...
- to invite... - He should come to his senses.
- friends for sleepovers. - Here's one thing, though.
- He's clueless. - It's because they don't have kids.
- Yes. - If they did, friends wouldn't come over.
You have no plans of having a kid?
We actually tried doing in-vitro fertilisation.
- Oh, you did. - Yes.
It was such a difficult process for her, though.
- It must've been hard for her. - Yes.
She even had to deal with...
fluid build up in her abdomen. It was so tough for her.
Your daily drinking could be causing the infertility.
I heard that men play a bigger role in that regard.
Men usually reduce drinking and smoking...
- before trying to have a baby. - Of course.
- I've seen many men do it. - Yes.
Did he stop drinking for the in-vitro fertilisation?
I'll tell you what happened the day before.
We went to get the embryo transfer done.
My husband's friends came over...
- They came over again? - and drank.
- They're the problem. - His friends are to blame.
Some of his minions...
ended up staying over that night.
- Seriously? - The day before the treatment?
- Yes. It was very stressful. - That is too much.
Sir, why did you do that?
- I don't understand him. - Why did he do that?
What was he thinking?
To be honest, I don't really remember.
I guess I didn't know.
- You didn't know it was the next day? - No.
So how did the treatment turn out?
I conceived twins...
- but ended up having a miscarriage. - Gosh, I see.
- My goodness. - That must've been...
(I really wanted to keep them.)
Even doing your very best and being super careful...
doesn't guarantee success.
You neglected your responsibilities as a husband.
- Exactly. - Why did you marry her...
in the first place, then?
You must've wanted grandchildren so much.
How did you feel when you heard about her miscarriage?
My heart broke into pieces.
She said this while crying. "Mum."
"I must be paying for my sins from my past life."
As her mother,
my heart ached so much when I heard that.
(Her daughter beat herself up.)
Did he drink every day even when she was hospitalised?
Yes, to cope with the stress.
That's just an excuse, Ma'am.
Who did he drink with? Alone or...
- with his minions? - With his friends.
I drank alone as well as with my friends.
It's evident that everyone in your family...
wants you and your wife to have a baby so badly.
How do you feel about it?
(Do you want a kid?)
Does it not matter to you?
No, I do want to become a father so badly.
I love kids.
- Then you should work for it. - You must try.
I actually...
worked the hardest in my life in order to have a baby.
What kind of efforts did you make?
Did you eat less?
(Did you eat less?)
- That's a serious effort. - "Did you eat less?"
- Tell us. - What did you do...
- to have a baby? - I thought...
that having a baby is the most important thing in life.
- So I... - Did you try to drink less?
Yes. I also tried to reduce stress.
I wanted to make my wife laugh all the time...
and make sure that we were both in our best condition.
That's how I prepared for the comedy audition, too.
I did beyond what I was capable of and made it happen.
I think he knows, but he simply can't do it.
- He can't give up alcohol. - His mind...
thinks one thing, but his body does something else.
Have you ever thought that you could be dependent...
on alcohol and that you might need a treatment?
No, I've never thought that.
(I've never thought that.)
You had to drink even when your wife is unwell.
You drank with your friends on your wedding night, too.
You have to drink no matter what. That's addiction.
- Why aren't you willing to change? - I'm curious.
My mother-in-law visits us and tells me occasionally.
She likes to use poetic expressions,
so she compares me to a flower on a field.
I often just let it go because I can't understand her.
- Ma'am, don't be poetic. - That's right.
- Please be direct... - Please be straightforward.
- and tell him bluntly. - He's your family, too.
I know all men drink,
but think about your health and your baby, too.
I won't tell you to quit drinking completely.
- However... - Just tell him to quit.
No, no.
- That won't work. - She knows he can't.
- So... - She's so sweet.
Drink no more than about 15 bottles a month.
(About 15 bottles)
- 15 bottles a month? - 15 bottles?
- That'll be the maximum? - 15 bottles.
That's so different. She's proposing a deal now.
It's because she collects empty bottles every month.
She's thinking about empty bottles now.
That must be what's on her mind.
She's not saying how often he can drink.
It's not about how many times he can drink.
- Ma'am, I think you're still being too nice. - Yes.
- I agree. - You should be her spokesperson.
I can't say harsh things because I'm tender-hearted.
- It seems that way. - Shall I do it for you?
Yes, please.
- She said yes. - Do it for her.
You should've seen the look on your wife's face.
Your wedding night isn't the only problem.
Many of my friends have also tried...
in-vitro fertilisation to get pregnant.
All of them told me that they had...
to let everything go as a woman.
The pain isn't even the worst part. Your pride...
as a woman is crushed lying in that cold room.
You drank when she was getting the treatment...
and when you were both stressed out. What is that?
- Seriously. - Yes.
Dae Hyun quit smoking...
and drinking, too. He made it sound easy,
but I know how he used to party before getting married.
I'm serious.
- He was a big partier. - He really was.
- He used to drink every day. - Yes.
Dae Hyun has told us before.
I used to love going out for drinks.
- With friends. - I loved hanging out with friends.
I enjoyed it very much.
Then I thought one day. "Will these friends..."
"be there for me in difficult times?"
- I wondered. - Gosh.
- You're right. - Your family...
and your wife will be the only ones.
Back in the days, whenever I was in Gangnam...
for shoots or errands,
I used to see a convertible sports car.
It would drive like this, and Dae Hyun was the driver.
(It was Dae Hyun, of course!)
Are we here to spill the beans?
Can I say what I saw, too?
He used to have so much fun.
- Do you think he was alone in that car? - No way.
(I'm Sung Dae Hyun of R.ef!)
His minions must've been in his car.
- His friends were with him. - Right.
Dae Hyun, who used to be like that, has quit...
drinking and smoking completely.
I've never seen his wife smiling...
throughout the entire shoot so far.
- She's exhausted. - She must be.
She doesn't seem like the type to smile a lot.
She does smile a lot.
- See? - She smiles all the time.
Please try to smile for us.
- We'd love to see your smile. - Smile.
- How pretty. - She's so beautiful.
She has such a pretty smile.
- He should be better to her. - I saw that smile...
when we were talking about Dae Hyun's sports car.
- I saw her laughing then. - I'm wondering...
how I'd feel if my daughter is unhappy like her.
I keep tearing up thinking how it'd...
- make me feel. - Right.
I'm trying not to cry to keep my fake eyelashes intact.
(I'm doing my best not to cry.)
I must say that you're so lucky...
to have a mother-in-law and wife who are this kind.
Both his mother-in-law and wife...
- are so nice. - Drinking less shouldn't be hard.
Before today, I didn't realise that they think...
of this issue as such a serious problem.
You never took it seriously because you haven't had...
a conversation with her about it when you were sober.
I have a very simple solution for you.
If you drink every two days,
you'll be sober for six months.
Cutting it down to half is easy for him.
- You're so right. - It'll be very easy.
- Drink every two days. - Drink every other day.
I think I'll be able to do that.
If he can do that, I think...
If you don't, I'll throw a rock at you.
(I'll throw a rock at you!)
If he can keep his words and drink less...
He's good in everything else.
He's treats me well.
If he can promise you that he'd drink less,
what would you like to do in your free time?
Even when we were dating, I didn't get to have...
much one-on-one time with him...
- because of his friends. - They always joined you.
- He must be a very nice guy. - So I'd like to...
have more one-on-one time with him.
That's what she wants. Will you be able to...
to squeeze in dates into your drinking schedule?
Yes, I will do my very best.
- That's not enough. - You must promise us.
- You have to do it. - Your mother-in-law had to beg,
"Can you please drink every two days?"
- What is this now? - It's crazy.
"I want no more than 15 bottles a month."
(I want no more than 15 bottles a month.)
- What kind of nonsense is that? - He's lucky.
Ma'am, please say a few things before we wrap it up.
Byung Jin. From this moment,
you should really try to drink less.
For this show, I wrote...
an acrostic poem using Byung Jin's name.
(She wrote an acrostic poem.)
She's so well prepared.
(An acrostic poem? That's random.)
Your mother-in-law is so cool!
I've never seen any mother-in-law doing this.
She is very poetic, indeed.
- Oh, my. - He said she likes poems.
- Let's shout his name together. - Let's do that.
- In 1, 2, 3. - Together, everyone.
- C! - C!
Choi Byung Jin is the best son-in-law.
- B! - B!
Byung Jin will love my daughter, Joo Eun, forever.
- J! - J!
Joy awaits you two. Live happily together forever.
(She's the best mother-in-law!)
It's now time to make a decision.
I truly empathise with the worry.
You love your wife so much. Quitting that one habit...
will solve all the problems. Do you want to lose her?
I think it's a serious worry.
It is definitely a worry.
I'm saying this as a dad who has a daughter.
I hope you can compromise a bit and be happy.
I also think that it's a serious worry.
If you love her, you should try to change.
I'm mad because you haven't made any effort.
It is certainly a big worry. His wife...
looked so beautiful when she smiled earlier.
- She did. - She looked very cute, too.
Try to change a bit so that she can smile like that.
Please press the button if you...
empathise with this worry!
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Stop!
Please say a few words to your mother-in-law.
Before coming here today,
I didn't know how serious the problem was.
It was a time for me to reflect on myself.
We'll work hard to live happily together.
- Thank you. - Say something to your wife.
You should say something to her as well.
Face her.
Honey, I'm sorry.
- I think your friends are the problem. - Yes.
It's a space for the two of you. Stop them from coming.
Tell your friends not to come.
Goodbye, my friends.
(Don't come over any more.)
Is that okay with you? Look at her smile.
(Thank you, Son.)
Show us the result.
(The result)
They have a slight chance of winning.
- I'm curious. - I think they will win.
- They need at least 161 votes. - If they win...
- Is it six? - I don't think...

"Goosebumps".
I wonder why this person is getting goosebumps.
Hello. I'm a man in his 20s who is receiving...
- a terrifying love. - That's crazy.
Someone acts like my girlfriend.
In fact, she's not.
- What? - A girlfriend?
"Did you eat?"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm getting off from work. Where are you?"
She acts like a girlfriend.
"Why do you keep calling me?"
"Why do you care if I'm off from work or not?"
- "Who do you think you are?" - Is it a crush?
"Me? I'm your girlfriend."
- What? - It's a crush.
It's driving me crazy.
- This guy... - What?
(Wait, is it a man?)
- He's 190cm tall and weighs over 100kg. - A man?
- He's my high school friend. - My goodness.
He calls himself the girlfriend?
- Yes. - Not a boyfriend?
"What is it again?"
"Listen carefully."
"I will give you"
- What is that? - Is he crazy?
- "Everything" - I have goosebumps.
He would serenade me...
He wins.
while playing the guitar in the middle of the night.
I couldn't take it any more,
so I tried ignoring all his calls. But...
(Door Bell)
- Did he come over? - "Who is it?"
- "What?" - You scared me.
"What are you doing here? Hey!"
- "It's already 2am." - Wow.
"Why didn't you pick up my call?"
(Are you avoiding me?)
(That's scary.)
- It was 2am. - That's so scary.
"Are you really going to be like this?"
If he keeps this up, I'll end up dying early.
- Why is he doing this to me? - Why?
I hope he doesn't have other feelings towards me.
Dear Hello hosts,
please get this creepy guy off of my back.
(Please help me get rid of him.)
Maybe our guest is really handsome.
First of all, he crossed the line...
with his feelings for our guest.
He has crossed the line when he serenaded him.
- Serenade. - Just throw water at him.
There are men who also like men.
That could be true.
That person might use the show today...
- to come out of the closet. - Really?
- That could happen. - He might accept him.
First, let's invite our guest in...
to talk about his story.
- Come out. - Come out.
(Who is the man suffering from his obsessive friend?)
What is this?
(What?)
(Really?)
What is this?
(Hwang Hyuk)
Seriously.
What is this?
My goodness.
Why does he like you?
- What is this? - Why does he like you?
- Seriously. - Does he like him because he's cute?
- He's so cute. - He's like a bear.
He looks like a panda.
(He looks like a comic book character.)
(Deeply falling...)
(in love)
- This is... - No.
- I think I'd like him, too. - Me, too.
I didn't know at first,
- but I've started to like him. - I know.
I like you.
- Do you want to serenade? - He's so cute.
- Sing one for him. - He's really cute.
- I will give you - I will give you
I want to visit his place.
He's so cute.
He's really cute.
Did he really say that he's your girlfriend?
We were friends since our first year in high school.
I redid my last year when I was 20,
and we lost contact for a while.
When I was 21, we met again.
That's when it all started.
- Is that so? - Yes.
Whenever I call him, he would say...
"Hello, girlfriend."
"What is it?"
He would pat my head and pinch my cheeks.
He would tap my buttocks when we part ways.
"Call me when you get home."
No way.
He makes me see him on weekends.
- What? - I have to watch...
- It's like a date. - the latest movie with him.
Why don't you just tell him you have plans?
Just tell him you're seeing someone else.
He'll get upset and swear at me.
- Really? - Yes.
- Does he get mad? - He swears really badly.
- Does he really get upset? - Yes. A lot.
He tells me he's upset.
- Does he really... - Wow, you're really cute.
(I just noticed it when you turned your head.)
Some of our audience are going crazy.
They're saying how cute he is.
If you're sitting on the sides,
you can't tell how cute he is.
- Show everyone how cute you are. - Yes, do that.
(He's showing off his cuteness.)
- He's so cute. - He's really cute.
- You're so cute. - You blow a kiss.
(He's blowing kisses.)
(Are you trying to kill us?)
Does he really come over at 2am...
- if you don't answer his calls? - At night.
I live with my grandmother.
- He's so cute. - He would come over...
and ring the door bell.
He would yell at me to come out.
- At night? - When I go out,
- Does he confront you? - he'd ask me to stay.
- What? - He would talk about...
his troubles and complaints.
- At 2am? - Yes.
- That happens 2 to 3 times a week. - Really?
- He's really your girlfriend. - What is that?
If it's once in a while, I'd understand.
However, he comes way too often.
- You'd understand if it's once a month. - Yes.
- That's true. - He would wake up your grandmother.
- Does she say anything? - What about other friends?
- My grandma is upset, too. - What does she say?
- She says he's ill-mannered. - Of course.
He would wake her up.
There's only one person who is very big.
- Right. - Yes.
I really can't picture it.
Hello.
- Hello. - This is crazy.
(Who is the friend that acts like his girlfriend?)
- Why do you do that? - Why?
Why do you do that to him?
As you all can see, he's so cute.
That's true.
- I can understand that. - Yes.
It's the same for me. If I have a cute friend,
I tend to play more pranks on him.
However, I would never call him my girlfriend.
Hyuk asked me why I was acting like his girlfriend,
so I said I will be his girlfriend now.
It was only a joke.
That's how it all started.
It's not how I really feel.
If it's not, why do you go to him at night?
- Are you worried? - I miss him sometimes.
- What is that? - But as a friend.
I miss him as a friend.
- I miss him because he's fun. - Still,
coming over 3 to 4 times a week is too much.
He ends up having fun with me.
He would act like he's mad, then he'll have fun.
It's impossible for me to have fun.
I took a year off from school.
I work part-time at an internet cafe starting at 8am.
If he comes to visit me at 2 or 3am,
I tell him to leave because I have to work tomorrow.
(We can't focus on his story.)
He says he came all the way here to see me.
It's not like you're dating.
The four of us are in love with him.
I can't help it, he's too cute.
I love him so much.
- He's so cute. - He's like a chubby sparrow.
(Can we talk about my worry instead?)
Whenever I'm working,
he would call me to complain about his life.
When I tell him to call me after work,
he says I'm no longer his friend.
Wow.
He would express how upset he is.
He's really soft although he's tall.
- Then I... - He's soft compared to his height.
would keep him on the phone...
- while serving instant noodles. - Delivery.
- I would spill on my customer. - Oh, no.
My boss saw the security footage,
- and I got into troubles. - Of course.
- What if you turn the phone off? - If I turn it off,
- he'll come find me. - He'll come visit.
I visited him at work, and it was really quiet.
He could pick up my calls because he has the time.
He doesn't hang up either.
Don't you have a job? Why are you always calling him?
- He must be free at night. - Me?
I'm a public service worker.
- You're a public service worker? - Yes.
How can you call so much then?
We should play when we're young, and stay up all night.
Why? What does he mean by that?
- I'll be a public service worker as well. - Okay.
We have other close friends...
who joined the army.
That's why he's focusing all his attention on me.
- They went to serve in the army. - Yes.
- No one else is around. - They're in the army.
Let's meet your other friends.
Hello, there.
- Hello. - Yes.
- Why are all your friends so cute? - He's cute, too.
- They're so cute. - How can this be?
Doesn't he obsess over you?
Luckily, he doesn't obsess over me.
I think he's really possessive.
He can only be friends with me.
Yes. He thinks Hyuk is his possession.
If we're meeting up,
he would call 4 to 5 times an hour.
- In an hour? - That's crazy.
When it's just the two of you?
I think you like him as a friend,
but it's hard to understand.
Why do you keep on calling him when he's out?
- I agree. - I can't understand that.
Then, because of what he did,
did you ever feel embarrassed...
- in front of others? - I think there would be a lot.
My graduation photos came out really badly.
That...
Why are you all laughing?
Don't laugh!
- Okay. - He took that photo...
and printed it as his phone case...
- to take it around. - What?
- Your picture? - He printed your picture?
- No way. - Really?
- That is too much. - Yes, he's right.
You're treating him like your girlfriend.
(The more we talk, the more suspicious we get.)
it was so bad that it's funny.
He looks so funny, so I made fun of him.
At a certain point, he stopped reacting.
I was getting bored,
so I made it into a phone case.
If you carry his picture around, that's...
(They laugh out loud.)
(We can understand.)
He's so cute.
- What are we going to do? - That's so cute.
- Look at his hair. It's like a Lego man. - Oh, gosh.
I would have made it into a case, too.
- It's so cute. - That's funny.
Indeed.
You might think his friend is weird.
- If I look at him, it makes sense. - It does.
- I understand now after seeing it. - Me, too.
He's so cute.
But to go this far is questionable.
He kept asking me to go on a trip with him.
- The two of you? - Yes.
He said, "We will tour in Gangwon Province..."
"to a ski resort and water park."
Guys can travel together.
- I kept turning him down. - Exactly.
He suggested we go to Busan...
for 3 days with 2 other women.
When we got there, I realised there were no women.
It was just us two.
- You two? - Oh, dear.
I said...
"What are you doing?"
That's mean.
Gosh.
- That's serious. - I cursed him out.
When I cursed, he said...
"Don't you know me?"
"It's because I want to spend time with you."
- That's freaky. - Did he lie just to be with you?
Yes, so we went to Busan.
For the two nights we were there,
he wanted us to share a bed.
(Let's share a bed.)
We slept side-by-side without holding hands.
You shouldn't hold hands.
- That would be weird. - You're both big.
He wanted to share a bubble bath.
(Let's have a bubble bath.)
Did you want to have a bubble bath together?
(A shared bubble bath?)
(Will this show end with a surprise love confession?)
- Did you? - No.
- I wanted to go to Busan. - Okay.
It's not weird to go with a friend.
- It's not. - So I asked him to join me,
and he kept making stupid excuses.
When I suggested two women would join us,
he wholeheartedly accepted the invitation.
That made me upset.
So, on the way there, I put on an act.
- I said, "They'll meet us there." - In Busan?
- "They'll be there." - "They'll be there."
- Did you fall for that? - "They'll be there."
- "They'll come tomorrow." - If that's the reason...
There must have been two beds.
There was a large bed.
I didn't want to sleep on the floor,
- but I couldn't force him to. - Okay, fine.
- Explain the bubble bath. - Yes, that.
- Two men... - Most of us here are men.
Let's say, we're very close.
- It's okay to shower together. - Right.
Men go to saunas together.
- Saunas? - But bubble baths...
- You can't share a bathtub. - That's weird.
We're on a trip together.
Can't we bathe together?
Will you sit facing each other and blow bubbles?
They could play with it.
I can't imagine a man joining me in a bathtub.
Please be honest. Did you ever wonder,
- even once, if this is friendship... - Or love?
- Yes. Even once. Be honest. - I'm curious.
- Is there a grey area? - No.
- Are you sure? - I love women.
- What? - I love women a lot.
Did you ever look at his lips as he talked?
(Did you look at his lips as he talked?)
I did.
- He said yes. - I do that, too.
- His lips... - There's a mole on his lip.
Do you look at that?
His mole looks very attractive.
- Let's find him a girlfriend. - Right?
- He just needs a girlfriend. - That's a good idea.
Then he'll care less about you.
- How's that? - A girlfriend...
He had one, but he was still obsessed with me.
He would come to see me instead of his girlfriend.
Even during a date, he'd call and talk for 40 minutes.
I don't know the details,
but I think I'm the reason why he got dumped.
- What if she really does leave you. - Is that true?
I put friendship before love.
I won't ignore a friend's call because I'm on a date.
- Why talk for 40 minutes? - That's too long.
- Because he's my priority. - I see.
Say, you're dating a girl as nice as Girls' Generation.
She might say, "What are you doing? I'm right here."
- You should hang up. - "Hey!"
That's tough.
He thought for a while.
For now,
you have to think about this seriously.
Out of all your friends, you're obsessed only with him.
That's why we keep asking.
I don't think it's clear to you...
- if it's love or friendship. - He's fun to be with.
- We get along. - Of course.
- That's possible. - We get that.
- You're just too obsessed. - You go too far.
Wouldn't he be considerate if you had a girlfriend?
Not really. I actually have one now.
(Congratulations)
Bravo!
Just recently?
We both work, so we meet once or twice a week.
Once, I met him for a while before going on a date.
When I said I had to go to see my girlfriend,
- he asked if I preferred her. - Is she a priority?
Why stop him from seeing her? That's nonsense.
- Yes. - That's true.
He acts so differently.
If he's with her and I ask him to meet me,
he'll make any excuse not to.
If he's with me and she calls, he'll run off like mad.
- Really fast. - Of course.
That's normal.
- They only meet once a week. - That's normal.
We call that jealousy.
It's upsetting because we're both human beings,
and he should treat me and his girlfriend equally.
They could break up at any time.
Did you ever hate her?
His girlfriend, I mean.
I don't like her much.
We never met, though.
- This is... - This is wrong.
She didn't do anything to you.
- Why do you hate her? - He has to treat us equally.
- But... - Who? Him?
- You aren't equal. - That's different.
Tell me something. I want you to be honest.
I'm not implying that you prefer men.
When you have many friends,
there's bound to be one who's so sweet and gentle...
that you think it'd be okay to poke him.
- A pushover. - Yes.
Is that why you do this to him?
It's not like that at all.
- No, right? - He's a true friend.
- Then let him see his girlfriend. - Be considerate.
I do congratulate him, but the way he treats me...
- It has to be different. - Let him be.
I get that, but he thinks less of our promises...
compared to hers.
What would Joo Hyun say if he heard this?
They're both men.
You know, people like us...
don't get many opportunities to date women.
(We don't get many opportunities.)
I barely managed myself.
You need to support your friend.
That was funny.
Why do you put up with all this?
I recently went through a very tough time.
My parents separated when I was young,
and my grandmother is the one who raised me.
I got in touch with my mum after dozens of years.
- My goodness. - But then...
- she said she wanted to cut all ties. - Why?
All my other friends were too busy to come over,
but he came right to my side.
- That's why... - You were grateful.
He said, "Parents will never forget their children."
"Your mother will call you. Don't worry too much."
He comforted me.
Just being there for you is a huge deal.
- Yes. - It's a great help.
Do you want to help him and be there for him...
because you know what lacks in his life?
- As a friend. - That's true.
Even so, and even if you have the best of intentions,
- if that burdens your friend, - That's right.
you must sometimes hold back.
Would you consider letting him go on dates...
and do what he wants?
- Just a bit. - Yes.
I have a question. If we're to solve this problem,
do we have to drift apart?
- No. - No.
Asking to let him go doesn't mean...
you stop being friends.
- Let him see his girlfriend. - Be a normal friend.
- Be flexible. - We're not saying care for him less.
You may like him a lot, but show it less.
- That's it. - Think about it.
If you were to change, you're the one with the problem.
- That's right. - That's our point.
(Consider your friend's situation.)
Se Yoon, you can vote first.
- Okay. - Is this a worry?
I don't think it is.
Their friendship made us smile.
I don't think this is a worry.
If he were not that obsessed,
I think he'd be a great friend.
- Dae Hyun. - At first, I thought this was serious.
Now that I met the victim, it all makes sense.
I agree.
When you're 22, you think friendship is everything.
As you grow older and make your own family,
- you can't do this even if you want to. - Yes.
It's okay to have fun.
If you don't sing at night or upset his grandmother,
then this won't be a worry.
- From the grandmother's perspective. - Yes.
Press your button if you think this is a worry.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Stop. - Thank you.
What would you like to say to your friend?
- To Hyuk. - Hyuk, what they've said is right.
We can't meet often when we get older.
Until then...
(My goodness.)
I hope we can stay as friends...
- who put each other at ease. - That's good.
(Let him go.)
Could you pose for the viewers?
A cute pose.
- A cute expression. - We'll never meet again.
Do something to wish the viewers a great summer.
I hope you all have a great summer.
(He blows a kiss.)
(A midsummer night's dream)
He looks like an emoticon.
I understand a bit how you feel.
Let's see how many votes we got.
Show us the result.
"Dad, Please" got 158 votes.
I doubt it'll beat that.
Did we get more than 100 votes?
(Did it exceed 100 votes?)
(Eliminated)
"Dad, Please" is this week's winner.
(This week's winner is "Dad, Please".)
You get a gift certificate. Congratulations.
Did you have fun, Se Yoon?
I wondered if the worries would get solved at all.
But as we kept on talking,
I realised that it was all about love.
I liked that.
To solve any worry or problem,
the best way is to start with myself.
I learned that I should open up and change how I think.
It's a great show.
We're done.
(Don't suffer alone.)
- Thank you. - Your friend will change.
(If you talk and share your burdens...)
(won't that bring the beginning of the end?)
Bye.
Until the day we are all worry free...
Hello will continue to counsel you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
("Navillera" by GFRIEND)
(Hello)
