We will counsel you on your unspeakable concerns.
National Competition on Worries.
Let me introduce today's guests.
Please welcome Song Eun I!
Hello!
Seung Jun and In Seong!
Hello, we are KNK. We'll do our best.
Jung Woo Yeol!
(Jung Woo Yeol, the mind expert)
Your group name KNK is quite unique.
That should've been our group name. Our heads are big.
(Thank goodness it's their height.)
Do you have any special talents? Rookies have those.
Don't make them do that. It's too cliche.
- Okay. - We prepared something for Hello.
It's okay. That's too much pressure for rookies.
- We prepared something. - They prepared something.
- Then show us. - Yes. Show us.
I'll impersonate an air dancer.
- An air dancer. - An air dancer.
- It will suit him well. - I can imagine.
(He'll probably use his height.)
(Wavering)
He looks like an air dancer.
(He's the most serious air dancer.)
It's windy.
(This rookie's fighting spirit...)
(only brings him embarrassment.)
In Seong, show us something too.
I'll impersonate a character from the cartoon,
- "Black Rubber Shoes". - "Black Rubber Shoes".
I'll impersonate Gi Cheol from that.
- I will impersonate him. - Do you even know him?
- I'll copy the voice actor's voice. - Gi Cheol.
"What? You fool. You mean the sky, not the States!"
Bravo!
(Here's your applause.)
- It's Gi Cheol! - You're good.
- "What? You fool." - "You fool".
"You mean the sky, not the States."
- Everyone can do it. - Right.
"What? You fool."
"You mean the sky, not the States."
(I can impersonate the air dancer, too.)
(We sincerely apologise...)
(for KNK's impersonations.)
Gosh. To what kind of worries...
will you be able to provide good counsel on?
On another show called "Confidential",
I counsel people on various concerns...
but I hope they won't seek my counsel on love problems.
- It's not something you know much about. - Yes.
"I haven't talked to my boyfriend for a fortnight."
- How would you ask me that? - Exactly.
- I don't know where he is. - Of course.
I specialise in counselling people on insecurities.
Everyone has their insecurities...
but they are different from what you think.
I will explain how they differ as we go on.
Last week, "Dad, Please" won.
I am Choi Su Bin and I'm 19 years old.
I live alone with my dad.
He plays screen golf, drinks with his friends...
- and comes home around 2am. - Gosh.
- Right. - Don't you worry about her?
When I'm out, I forget about her.
One time, I felt really sick and threw up all day.
Dad just watched me and played games.
You borrowed 1,056 dollars from your daughter.
- 1,056 dollars. - Did he pay you back?
Two days after the shoot, he paid me back.
- I see. - That's good.
- He wired her 1,056 dollars. - 1,056 dollars.
- He's cheap. - He could've sent four extra dollars.
Has he changed at all?
- He used to smoke inside the house. - Right.
He goes outside to smoke now.
He drops me off at school every morning.
I go to him after work and we go home together.
If we don't, he comes home before 12am.
- Really? - He changed a lot.
- Dad! - We're going on a movie date next week.
Let's see if they will win once more.
- What does the winner get? - Well,
winner will receive a 1,000-dollar gift certificate.
I will read this story.
- It is a little scary. - I see.
It almost sounds like a movie plot.
Hello. I am a 22-year-old girl...
who's constantly tortured by one person.
"Baby, you're so cute. Kiss me."
This person who showers me with affection all day...
is my elder sister.
You think we are the sweetest sisters? No.
"Stop it. Please stop."
"How dare you, you rat!"
"Am I filthy?"
- "That's not what I mean." - Isn't this exaggerated?
- It's written here. "You rat". - She swears.
"Then why do you avoid me, you wench?"
"How dare you avoid me?"
She suddenly changes and curses at me...
and changes back in a moment. "Oh my darling."
- "What's wrong?" - She has a split personality.
- She's like Dr Jekyll and Hyde. - That's scary.
I can't do anything I want.
"Baby, let's wear a short skirt today."
- "You'll look so pretty." - What?
- She controls her clothes? - "No, it's too short."
"How can I wear this? It doesn't suit me."
"You won't wear it? Hey!"
"Wear it, you rat!"
"I said, wear it!"
She did this when I was with my boyfriend.
"Honey, look behind you."
I said, "What?" and turned back to see my sister.
"Baby, you were here." - Did she...
- follow them? - She was spying on us.
She's driving me crazy.
Please detach my sister from me.
(That's crazy.)
- I can't believe it. - It's like a horror special.
- I know. - Didn't you get chills?
- They're sisters. I don't get it. - Exactly.
- I can relate to this. - Can you?
- Really? - I obsess over my brother.
- Why? - I see.
He's so cute so I pinch him.
- How old is he? - I bite him, too.
- He's in secondary school. - I see.
- Then he's much younger. - That's cute.
- He keeps calling his brother. - Does he?
I make sure he goes home before 6pm.
- Is this a little sister? - No, he's a brother.
- And you do that? - No way.
- He's in secondary school? - You do that to him?
You shouldn't do that to your younger siblings.
- In front of you, - Dong Yeob's the youngest.
they act like cute little babies...
but when they're alone, they're not so cute.
(I don't believe him.)
That's possible.
- Are you holding something? - Right.
- What are you holding in your hand? - A lollipop.
- I see. - Yes, a lollipop.
(He's just holding a lollipop.)
Let's hurry up and meet the girl suffering...
because of her two-faced sister. Please come on out!
Hello
(Jung Ae Hee)
Hello
(She slides down.)
Oh dear.
Welcome.
Hello. I came from Seoul...
- and I am 22 years old. - We're already in Seoul.
- We're in Seoul. - How did you get here?
- We're already in Seoul. - Are you from underground?
We're in Seoul.
For a moment, I thought we were in Pyongyang.
Does your sister really call you "Baby"?
- Yes. She calls me "Baby" all the time. - Really?
- "Baby"? - "My darling", "My everything" and so on.
- "My everything"? - Yes.
You're a rather big baby.
(Anyway)
She says, "Come here, Baby. Kiss me."
- Kiss? - You give her kisses?
Where do you kiss?
- Either on my cheek... - Even on the lips?
Yes. On the cheek or lips.
But you two are sisters.
Isn't it nice that your sister's very fond of you?
Not really. She even does it in public.
- She does it in public? - Which public places?
She does it at cafes and on the street.
- People will get wrong idea. - When she does,
I usually avoid her and say I don't like it.
Then she says "Am I filthy?" with a straight face.
- She doesn't curse in public, at least. - Gosh.
No. She curses, too.
- Does she whisper it? - No, she shouts.
"Don't you have a brain? Think. Open your eyes."
No way.
"How dare you try to walk all over me?"
Have you walked over her?
- She came all the way to Seoul. - You'd like that.
She'd like that. - Seriously.
I was so flustered and at a loss for words...
and she went, "Aren't you hungry, Baby?"
- She changed suddenly? - Yes.
Emotions usually develop in stages.
She has three levels of anger.
- Three levels? - She has a few levels?
- Yes. - What's Level One?
At Level One, her face hardens.
"Are you messing with me?"
At Level Two, she pokes me in the head or the body...
- and becomes sarcastic. - I see.
"Is that right?"
"Is that right? Is that a brain you're using?"
Right. That's what she does.
When she can't control her anger...
and Level Three begins, she breaks and rips things.
What's wrong with her? Is that when she swears?
Yes.
(She has an evil streak.)
- That's serious. - What's wrong with her?
- We need to meet her. - Right.
- Where are you? - She's something.
Hello.
- Hello. - It's nice to meet you.
She doesn't look evil at all.
I thought the girl in the middle was her sister.
- You look like such a sweet person. - I know.
Is everything Ae Hee told us true?
- I can't accept it because... - Okay.
I really adore my sister.
I always let her sleep on my arm. - Okay.
- When she refuses, I feel sad. - But...
- You feel sad. - But she's an adult.
- She can refuse that. - She's not a child.
Can't she refuse?
I want her to like what I like and hate what I hate.
I just want her to think exactly like me.
(That's exactly what I don't like!)
We get that you adore your little sister.
How do you usually treat her?
I secretly give her 100 dollars as pocket money.
- When we go out, - She's a good sister.
Everyone is touched by the pocket money.
They all think, "She deserves a kiss for that."
- That's how everybody feels. - I know.
We understand her sister a little now.
- 100 dollars is big money. - And?
What else do you do for her?
When I go outside and see something nice,
I always try to buy it for her.
(She sounds like a sweet sister.)
- You should be thankful. - Your sister...
That's what I don't like about her.
- Why? - Why?
- Being nice to me is one thing. - Okay.
She orders me around all the time at home.
She tells me to go buy lens cleaning solution at 3am.
- For contact lenses? - She orders you around?
Yes. I have to wipe her mirror for her...
when she's wearing makeup.
- Her mirror? - Yes.
- She's like a maid. - I have to wipe it for her.
- Why? - She checks my call history.
- She goes through your phone? - Yes.
- Why does she do that? - When I change...
my profile picture or my messenger password,
she sits me down and interrogates me.
Why do you do that? That's private.
- This is serious. - She says she needs privacy...
but I don't get why she needs it.
- I just want to know everything about her. - Okay.
I can't bear to have any secrets between us.
What if she interferes with your privacy?
- What if she obsesses over you? - She'd love it.
- "Where are you going?" - I'm okay with it.
I want to do everything with her.
(Please stay away from me!)
Has she ever stopped you from leaving the house?
- Many times. She always does that. - Always?
Even when I go to meet my girl friends,
when I'm wearing makeup, she asks where I'm going.
When I say I'm going out, she hides my things.
- She won't let you leave. - Your things?
Yes. She hides them and if I still manage to leave,
she follows me to my appointment.
She follows you all the way there?
She comes with me and says, "Baby, give me a kiss."
She does that in front of my friends.
- I don't like that at all. - I understand.
Does she swear there, too?
Yes. My friends know about it all.
I see. Do they no longer ask you to meet them?
My friends call me "Gandhi".
Why?
- Because I put up with it. - You persevere.
- They call me a pacifist. - You don't resist.
On what occasions do you reach Level Three?
- When do you get angry? - I hate repeating myself.
I want my sister to understand me quickly.
I get annoyed and frustrated when she can't do that.
She says she does not like repeating herself...
but she's not very clear in the first place.
When she wants something near me,
she vaguely points with a gaze or a gesture...
and tells me to bring it.
When I check with her more than three times,
she goes, "I told you to use your brain."
- What? - "Think."
- Why does she say that? - She's not in the army.
- Why do you compare... - Why do you do that?
your sister's head to a fish?
Let's say I was doing my eye makeup and I say,
"I need to redo this. Give me that."
Then she should know I am asking for makeup remover.
- She should know. - Clarify your demands.
Don't say, "Gosh, my makeup is ruined."
Just say, "Makeup remover."
You can say that from the beginning.
- That's a good idea. - I know.
When I am busy, I can't help but be vague.
Do you reach Level Three with other people as well?
Yes.
Do you treat other people like this?
She has fist fights with my oldest sister.
- Fist fights? - Fist fights?
- You have it easy.
(Her oldest sister responds physically.)
She should be the one sitting here.
Both of them throw punches.
- With me, the fight is one-sided. - I see.
- Your oldest sister does not hold back. - No.
When your sister gets angry and breaks things,
don't your parents say something?
My mum works...
and my dad only comes home on weekends.
They are rarely at home.
My oldest sister lives away because of work.
I am usually home alone with my second sister.
Does your oldest sister visit for a fist fight?
(Does your oldest sister visit for a fist fight?)
It happened when she lived with us.
Is your dad unaware that your sister is like that?
Yes. He only sees her being nice to me.
He doesn't know what she is really like.
He only sees her go, "My baby, give me a kiss."
- He thinks you get along. - Yes.
He's just happy to see that.
Have you told your parents about this?
They like to see us get along, so I don't want to.
- You don't want to hurt them. - You are worried.
I don't want to upset them so I keep it to myself.
When do you find your sister the most irrational?
I'm sure some things frustrate you more than others.
One time, I was on a date with my boyfriend.
She comes and stares, right?
No, she tags along and stays with us.
- The three of you go on a date? - She follows you?
- Yes. - The three of you together?
- My goodness. - We go on a date together.
Eun I, you have no say in matters of dating.
- I've heard things, though. - Okay.
Just listen when it comes to matters of love.
We go on dates together.
I went to a cafe with my boyfriend...
- and he was very startled. - I am sure he did.
I asked him why and my sister was behind us.
- My goodness. - Was she alone?
- Yes. - Was she eating alone?
- No, she just sat and watched. - She stared?
She watched the two of you?
She followed you around because you left her behind.
- Yes. - Why were you there?
Why did you follow them?
My sister is very naive.
I was worried to send her off on a date.
I didn't approve of her boyfriend at all.
When two people are in a relationship,
they may want physical intimacy. It's up to her.
- No. - You don't allow it?
No.
(What is the matter with you?)
Seung Jun, you said that you understand her sister.
- My brother is young. - Okay.
- One time, he got himself a girlfriend. - Okay.
- I saw her. - Did she seem sleazy?
- She seemed sleazy. - The girl did?
Yes, my brother's girlfriend.
My mum and I went, "We need to break them up."
You joined forces with your mum?
I talked to my brother that day.
I told him that he was not ready for a relationship.
I have done that in the past.
- What did your brother say? - Did they break up?
Yes.
(Seung Jun's brother is an easy man.)
- That was easy. - What an easy man!
However, I did not spy on him...
like Ae Hee's sister did.
(Disappointed)
Who do you like better, your boyfriend or your sister?
My sister.
- Do you have a boyfriend? - Yes, I do.
- Do you love him? - Yes.
- Yet you like your sister more? - Yes.
- Does your boyfriend know? - Yes.
- Doesn't he want to break up? - No.
Okay.
Do you bring your sister to your dates?
- Yes. - Is that your boyfriend?
- Yes. - Let's talk to him.
- Is that her boyfriend? - It's nice to meet you.
Hello.
She said that she likes her girlfriend more.
- You mean her sister. - Did you know that?
Yes. She likes her sister more.
Yes, I know. In my phone, Ae Hee is listed...
as "The person Sol Hee loves more than me".
Doesn't that upset you?
She told me before we started dating...
that family comes first for her.
I try very hard to be understanding.
Did you know her obsession went this far?
I met her sister so many times.
- Seriously. - She brought her to dates.
- Yes. - I can tell that he is sick and tired of it.
He would have sworn if he could.
- He was so upset. - I bet he gets confused.
You almost cursed, right?
(Nodding)
I would go to meet my girlfriend...
only to find Ae Hee by her side.
- Ae Hee. - It sounds like "Baby".
She was there. It started before we were even dating.
Have you said, "You obsess over Ae Hee..."
"a bit too much"?
I have. She iterated what she said on the show.
- Did she say the same thing? - Yes.
Then you must have seen her sudden change.
She is affectionate one moment and angry the next.
- Have you seen it? - Of course I have.
- Didn't it shock you? - It did.
- Has she done it to you? - You look indifferent now.
Yes, she has.
- Did she curse, too? - Why do you put up with her?
I try to be understanding.
- He is nice. - She must be strangely charismatic.
We have Gandhi Number One and Two.
(They are a couple of Gandhis.)
I bet...
his girlfriend gives him pocket money.
(I bet she gives him pocket money.)
From his girlfriend?
You must understand how Ae Hee feels.
Ae Hee and I chat often.
- I see. - I sympathise with her.
We team up against Sol Hee.
Is there a reason why you obsess over her so much?
I am the second child out of three children.
My oldest sister has been ill from childhood.
She was always the centre of attention.
When we argued, only I'd be told off.
I hated how she was so nice to Ae Hee...
and how Ae Hee only liked her.
It made me think, "Ae Hee has to follow me."
I became possessive.
I want her to be on my side.
Let's talk to the oldest sister.
Sol Hee says she obsesses over Ae Hee because of you.
Did you know that?
I guessed so.
Sol Hee and I went through puberty together.
Sometimes, we pretended the other didn't exist.
Sometimes, an eye contact would lead to a fist fight.
- Just by eye contact? - Yes.
(My goodness!)
- I can't believe sisters did that. - I know.
"What are you looking at?"
That's exactly right.
That's how we were around each other.
It wasn't until I moved out at the age of 25...
that I got to chat with Sol Hee.
She told me then...
that she hated and envied me.
From primary school to high school,
I had about seven leg surgeries.
Since my mum stayed by my side for all the surgeries,
Sol Hee was left with the household chores.
She also had to run errands for me.
The whole family revolved around me.
I think that's why she craves affection...
and tries to get it from Ae Hee.
- You think that's the reason. - Yes.
"Your sister is sick so just bear it."
- I heard that all the time. - I bet you did.
Yes.
When there are three children,
- the middle child usually suffers the most. - Right.
Their situation differs because one child was sick.
I am sure Sol Hee suffered more.
Why weren't you nice to Sol Hee?
- She's only two years younger than me. - Okay.
However, Ae Hee is a lot younger than me.
I changed her diapers. I practically raised her.
To me, she's a baby. She's so cute.
Sol Hee, are you still angry at your sister?
No, not any more.
We asked because you glared at her...
when she talked about Ae Hee.
(Her facial expression told a different story.)
I don't like her saying she raised Ae Hee.
- I see. I could tell. - In reality...
Yes. I contributed more.
- You looked after her more? - Yes.
(She is proud that she raised Ae Hee.)
You wanted her to say, "I helped raise Ae Hee."
- She acts like she is Ae Hee's mother. - I see.
She is sometimes like that.
What are you most worried about?
Since Sol Hee is no longer a child,
- she could get married in near future. - Right.
Then Ae Hee will be left alone.
She has been coddled by Sol Hee her whole life.
I don't know how she will live by herself.
- What? - You are worried about Ae Hee?
- Yes. - Why?
She can't meet up with her friends these days.
She lost friends. She can't even go out on her own...
So she has resorted to drinking soju...
- at home from a straw. - Alone?
- Yes. - She must be quite the drinker.
She drinks more because of Sol Hee.
- Only really heavy drinkers do that. - I know.
It breaks my heart to see her all alone,
drink soju from a straw at home.
I am worried about how she will do at work.
- Doesn't she work part-time? - She used to.
- I see. - She worked at a cafe...
and Sol Hee followed her...
to sit and keep an eye on her.
She would wait until Ae Hee is done...
to bring her home and put her to bed.
That got Ae Hee fired after a month.
Because Sol Hee continues...
to follow her around everywhere...
Ae Hee is afraid of finding a new job.
It worries me.
Sol Hee,
how old do you think your sister is?
She is still a baby to me.
- You think she is still a baby? - Yes.
All babies drink soju from a straw, right?
(All babies drink soju from a straw, right?)
Have you ever been away from your sister?
Maybe she went on a trip or something.
- It's not like she can go to the army. - Right.
- Have you ever been left alone? - No.
How will you feel if Sol Hee gets married?
I will be very happy.
- You'll be happy. - I'll be very happy...
but I am afraid she will make me live with her.
- You are worried about that. - Yes.
- Sol Hee is nodding! - For goodness' sake.
- How scary! - Why did she nod?
- She nodded. - I am taking her with me.
- What? - I am taking her with me.
- You're taking her with you? - Yes.
We need to stay together.
She'll live with Ae Hee even after she gets married.
Are you okay with that?
Of course not.
She is glaring at him.
- He says you can't. - That's only natural.
It's not for Sol Hee or her boyfriend to decide.
- It's up to Ae Hee. - Seriously.
Your boyfriend is against the idea. What will you do?
I will persuade him.
- Until he caves in? - Yes.
What will you do if Ae Hee gets married?
We will still stay together.
The two couples will live together?
- Yes. - There will be four people.
It may not be in one house.
We'd live in the same building or right next-door.
(She wants to stay close by forever.)
While your boyfriend's opinion is important,
why are you ignoring Ae Hee's opinion?
- I think... - You think she feels the same.
- She has to feel the same. - She's controlling her.
- I got the chills. - She doesn't hate the idea.
- She says she does. - She hates it.
- She got the chills. - Do you hate it or not?
- I hate it. - How much do you hate it?
Be honest.
- I hate it a lot. - How much?
- So bad that you get the chills? - Yes.
That's how much she hates it.
She got the chills.
- I have a question. - Okay.
Have you cried in front of Sol Hee?
- Many times. - I am sure.
- Countless times. - How does that make you feel?
I bet she feels as though a baby is crying.
I feel bad...
when she cries.
When I try to make it up to her,
- she refuses. - I would think so.
- Listen. - She gets angry at me for crying.
If you apologise after yelling abuses,
she would feel scared. You should not...
get mad at her for not accepting your apology.
Do you feel love in Sol Hee's attention?
- No. - What do you feel?
- It ruins my self-esteem. - That's right.
I am sure it does.
I used to be bigger.
She forced me to wear short skirts and dresses...
- I looked bad in. - She made you wear them.
I like covering myself up.
She would make me wear them and take me out.
I was so humiliated because people stared.
I just wanted to disappear.
She still forced me, though.
That was all for Ae Hee.
To me, she's beautiful...
but she kept hiding herself.
She stayed at home and didn't meet anyone.
She always wore black. It frustrated me.
I made her wear pretty outfits...
so that she would be more confident.
What is Ae Hee to you?
She is mine.
I want her to stay mine until the end of the world.
- Is she yours? - Yes.
What is Sol Hee to you?
What is she in your life?
Someone I don't need.
(Someone I don't need.)
She is someone you don't need.
(Sol Hee acted as a parent for Ae Hee.)
(Ae Hee made Sol Hee feel less lonely.)
(Ae Hee now says Sol Hee is someone she doesn't need.)
She is still family.
She is, but it doesn't feel that way.
She controls me all the time.
She says we come as a set as a joke...
and drags me everywhere.
My opinions don't matter to her.
I am mad at Ae Hee's oldest sister and parents.
Why did they leave Sol Hee...
to focus solely on Ae Hee?
Is there a way to help them, Woo Yeol?
This is like a parent-child relationship.
Some mothers say they do everything for their children.
- Yes. - They think their children love them.
They don't grasp the situation fully.
When you talk to their children,
they say that their mothers confine them...
and that they force them to do things.
This is what I want to say to Ae Hee.
Both parties must cooperate for emotional distance.
They say it takes two to tango.
Sol Hee is very closely attached to you...
and you have unknowingly gotten used to it.
It will be hard to distance yourself...
but you must try.
A good example would be a refusal.
Hold your ground even if Sol Hee reaches Level Three.
Finding yourself like that...
will be a solution in the end.
How do you want your sister to change?
This is my sincere wish.
I don't care about pocket money and all that.
I just want her to leave me alone.
- Tell her directly. - Try talking to her.
We're not trying to fault anyone.
- It's just sad to see. - That's right.
Sol Hee.
Even if you are angry,
I would like it...
if you don't swear or yell abuses at me.
It makes me feel small...
- as if I am a bug. - Oh, dear.
(Speaking from her heart makes her tear up.)
She has a lot of pent-up frustration.
(She couldn't bring herself to say this to Sol Hee.)
It makes me want to disappear.
(It makes me want to disappear.)
I am grateful that you love me...
but there has to be a line.
Please be careful when you are angry.
Okay.
(Will Sol Hee listen to her heartfelt plea?)
- Eun I, please go first. - Okay.
- Is it a worry or not? - Please decide.
There is no doubt.
I am 100 percent sure that this is a worry.
- It is. - What is your reason?
Watching the two of them made my heart ache.
- My heart ached. - I felt the same way.
A person cannot be owned.
Also, two people cannot have...
the same mind.
I hope Sol Hee...
can accept that fact soon.
Until she does,
Ae Hee's worry will not be resolved.
I think it's a worry, too.
I said earlier that I sympathise with Sol Hee.
Listening to them made me realise...
she's going about it in the wrong way.
I also think it's a worry.
Your sister is suffering because of you.
Out of love for your sister,
it would be nice if you could give in a little.
All right. Woo Yeol?
I think it's a worry as well.
Ae Hee is too focused on being a good girl.
She is affected by Sol Hee without even realising it.
I think she needs some space.
If you think it's a worry,
please press the button.
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Stop. - Stop.
I can't be sure how Sol Hee felt...
after hearing all this.
Please say a few words to your sister.
I was shocked to hear you feel this way.
A part of me feels bad.
I will try to change...
but I hope you would also refrain...
from closing yourself up.
Please me open-minded towards me.
You should do it first.
- You are older than her. - Then Ae Hee will do it.
- Please change first. - Okay.
Be more open-minded.
(We hope your relationship will improve.)
I wonder how many votes this worry received.
"Dad, Please" received 158 votes.
How many votes did "My Scary Sister" receive?
(The result)
(The last digit is 6.)
(Will it get more votes than "Dad, Please"?)
(What will be the result?)
The worry lost by two votes.
- It lost by only two votes. - Yes.
(Survived)
(During the break)
(Yeong Ja gives advice to the young sisters.)
(She wanted to help them as an elder.)
(Hello will cheer for their healthy relationship.)
The sisters' worry was intense...
- but this worry is equally so. - Really?
- I will brace myself. - Let me read it for you.
Hello, I am a woman in my 40s from Gwangju.
19 years of marriage gave me 4 daughters and 1 son.
However, my husband...
still calls me up and says, "Honey, where are you?"
"What's the matter?"
- "I am at the supermarket." - "What's the matter?"
"Honey, why didn't you tell me?"
"I told you."
"You are incredibly beautiful..."
"so you shouldn't go outside."
"Hurry back home..."
"before someone takes you from me."
My husband confines me 24 hours a day...
- and I feel suffocated. - Oh, dear.
- I see my friends annually if I'm lucky. - Annually?
When I'm with my friends,
my husband calls to ask, "Are you on your way back?"
My phone rings. "Honey, when will you be back?"
My phone rings again. "Honey, honey!"
He calls me 50 times on an average.
- Sometimes, he calls me up to 100 times. - Goodness.
(He's even called over 100 times.)
- Dong Yeob feels bad for her. - It's frustrating.
In the last 19 years, I've given birth to 5 kids...
and have been doing all the housework.
I don't have my own life at all.
I really want my husband to stop obsessing with me now.
(Help me stop his obsession with me.)
- It's like a horror story. - My goodness.
All right. Let's meet her now.
Please come on out!
(Who's the wife that yearns for freedom?)
Could you please escort her?
Welcome to our show
(Choi Hyun Sook)
Welcome to our show
Please help her up.
- Welcome to the show. - Hello.
When did you start feeling his obsession with you?
I've been married for 19 years,
and it's been like that the whole time.
- For 19 years? - From the beginning?
Since you walked down the aisle?
- You seem much younger, though. - She does.
- I got married at 21. - You got married early.
Basically, I was pregnant for 10 years.
Even when I was pregnant, my husband...
wanted me right beside him all the time.
(He doesn't give her time to breathe.)
He doesn't let me go out.
One of my close friends also lives in Gwangju.
Then you must see her often.
No, I saw her once in five years.
(She saw her friend once in five years.)
- You two are close? - We're so close.
- Why does he do that? - Even that day,
I got home and he was like, "Where did you go?"
He asked me the same question repeatedly.
- Did he interrogate you? - Yes, he did.
So it was like an interrogation.
- He sat down with me and... - "When did you leave?"
Then when do you need to tell him to get his approval?
I have to tell him 2 weeks to 1 month in advance...
- to get his approval. - Are you a celebrity?
- He doesn't let me go out otherwise. - Seriously?
Even if he approves, he spends the next two weeks...
asking, "You'll be home early, right?"
- Repeatedly? - Repeatedly?
- "You must." - I'd rather stay home.
- That must be why he does it. - If I get to...
go downtown once a year,
that's considered a lot.
Do you live in the mountains?
- No, that's not why. - So you've gone out 19 times.
- I mean, in the last 19 years. - Right, once a year.
One day, I felt so frustrated and thought that...
I couldn't live like that. So I packed up and left,
but I ended up coming back in a few hours.
- Why? - He was taking it out on our kids.
- The kids had to suffer. - Yes, they did.
Back then, my kids were from 7 to 10 years old.
But he left the kids at home...
and went out saying he has things to do.
- That's when you had three kids. - Yes.
I think that it could be because she's very beautiful.
You know the way guys feel.
- Gosh, no. - It could be because he loves you a lot.
- I don't think that's the case. - Why not?
- He wants me around him... - Yes.
to make me do things to make his life easier.
- No way. - Does he help you at all?
He doesn't help me at all. I'm serious.
- Whether he helps or not... - In the last 19 years,
he hasn't fixed a single meal for himself.
He must've at least plated the food you cooked.
Did he order food?
- He just starves. - He has to eat something.
- What does he do? - He just sleeps without eating.
- He eats nothing? - He must get hungry, though.
Sometimes, I come home late at around 9pm from work.
Sorry? Do you also work?
- Pardon? - You work, too?
Of course!
- You also work? - Yes, I do.
- You're a superwoman. - Is she a machine or what?
Let's meet her husband now.
You're sick of the situation,
so you could be taking him the wrong way.
Let's listen to what he has to say.
Where are you, Sir?
(Who's the husband that is obsessed with his wife?)
- Do you hate her going out that much? - Tell us.
I think she's very beautiful. She's a good dancer, too.
She also has a nice figure and a great personality,
so I'm nervous about losing her.
What she thinks is different from what you just said.
- She thinks you want her... - To make his life easy.
beside you to get her to do things for you.
- Tell us honestly. - Is it true?
When she's around,
I can do less work...
- Sorry? - because she's a good worker.
I feel comfortable when I'm with her,
and we can also get work done faster.
- So you do think that. - What kind of work is it?
We used to run a car wash together.
- What about now? - You work together, too.
- Yes. - Do you still run it together?
My wife has a different part-time job now.
- We no longer work together. - I was so frustrated.
I told him to give me some space to breathe,
so I started working at a supermarket two months ago.
You look so happy about it. "I started working."
- Let's congratulate her. - "I can finally breathe."
- I'm so happy I have that job now. - But...
- Do you love the job that much? - You probably...
can't understand why she's so happy.
Let's find out what kind of work she had been doing...
before getting this part-time job at the supermarket.
Then we'll know why she's so happy.
- Tell us your entire routine. - Yes.
I wake up and send my kids to school at 8am.
After that, I take my youngest one to the kindergarten.
Then I come home and wash dishes, do laundry and clean.
Talking about it is making her emotional already.
Your day hasn't even started yet.
- Gosh. - I'd head to the car wash at 11am.
I have to fold towels...
and carry water jugs to get ready.
I have to clean car interiors and wash the cars, too.
I also use the steam gun, which is hard for even guys.
- That's a tough job. - What about after work?
I get home and take care of house chores.
I look after the kids and help them with homework,
while he just washes up, eats...
and goes to bed.
- He doesn't help you at all. - That means...
you take care of your kids and all housework alone.
At around midnight,
I lie down.
(She finally lies down at midnight...)
(and dreams of this wish.)
I wish there were three of me.
You wish there were three of you.
Your husband has to do the work at the car wash.
Most of the work is a man's job. Does he do anything?
- He does work. - What does he do?
He does car glass polishing, which he enjoys doing.
- Polishing? - Is that all he does?
So he shows up just to do that like a contractor?
Why don't you help her with looking after the kids?
That's one thing, but why does he only do polishing?
She helped you with the work at the car wash, so...
I really can't understand him.
I do want to help and fix meals for her too,
but I haven't been able to do as much as I've wanted.
- Your wife is stressed out. - So you're saying...
that you're too tired to help her, right?
- You're also stressed. - My life is tough, too.
As you know, we have five kids.
We don't have much money, and we can't save either.
If my wife doesn't help me out,
I have to pay people to do the work, so I wanted us...
- to work together. - Do you only do polishing...
because it's more profitable?
Polishing makes dirty cars shine like new cars.
That's why I like doing it.
- It's all about him. - It's my hobby and my job.
It's like catching 2 birds with 1 stone.
He does what he likes to do and find pleasure in it,
so he can say, "I work hard to support my family."
But in reality...
- The wife does all the hard jobs. - She does it all.
Could you consider giving your wife...
even just one hour of free time a day...
so that she can take a nap at least?
- I can. If it's one hour... - Then why haven't you?
I can give her free time,
- You can? - but I'd like her to be by my side...
- all the time. - Right beside you?
How do you feel when she's not around?
I feel nervous when she's not around.
(He's like a kid.)
(We're ready to vote.)
He's saying this because I make his life easy.
It's not about loving me or caring about me.
It's because I do everything for him.
Then how many times have you visited...
your parents in the last 19 years?
My parents...
- Roughly. - You can't even remember?
- About three times? - Gosh.
- Pardon me? - Three times?
- That's too extreme. - Are you serious?
- Yes. - What about for holidays?
- Every year... - Do they live in North Korea?
(It makes no sense at all.)
- Or do they live abroad? - When there are...
special occasions in his family, he tells me to visit.
But when my family gathers for special occasions...
- "We're busy. Just send them money." - "Don't go."
- "Visit them later." - That'd upset you so much.
(Send them money. Visit them later.)
You must feel so sorry to your parents.
They've both passed away.
- She must regret it a lot. - She must be so sorry.
Sir, you really didn't allow her to visit them?
As you know, we had our kids when we were young.
They used to always ask, "What does he do nowadays?"
They used to pity me,
so we ended up becoming distant,
and I didn't want to visit them.
You still should've allowed your wife to visit them.
I told you that I need her beside me at all times.
- But... - Are you a baby or what?
(Ma'am, it must've been so stressful for you.)
- This is driving me crazy. - Sir...
- What's wrong with him? - Even the sister's annoyed.
- Really? - Yes, I saw it.
Why are you getting annoyed? You're like that, too.
She's at Level Two. She'll reach Level Three soon.
- Seriously. - Actually,
we wanted to make Ms Choi happy today,
- so we invited her sister to our show. - I see.
- Her sister. - She looks so happy.
You've wanted to call her name, right? Do it now.
- You must be thrilled to see her. - Hyun Jung!
- Hello! - Nice to meet you.
Did you know that your sister is this stressed out?
Yes, I did. My brother-in-law...
doesn't like it when we spend a lot of time together.
- You're her sister, though. - When you two hang out?
- What's wrong with him? - When it's without him?
Yes. A few times, I told my sister...
out of frustration that she should just divorce him.
- Really? - Because she has no freedom.
A while ago, she wanted to go to an alumni meeting.
I think they fought because he wouldn't let her go.
So she said, "I can't live like this, so I'll leave."
Then he said, "Forget it. I'll leave instead."
After that, he packed up and left.
- I see. - Her youngest son saw that and said,
"Mum, Dad is gone. Find me a new dad."
- Her youngest son said it? - As if it's no big deal?
Yes, that's what he said. It upset my sister so much.
She told me that it broke her heart.
So my brother-in-law left like that,
but he came back in the evening.
My sister is very neat and organised.
- I guess she's shrewd? - She's good at housework.
Yes, she's very good.
- So he relies on her a lot. - She's fast, too.
As her sister, observing that upsets me.
- Gosh. - Why did he leave that day?
My heart aches for her.
I don't understand...
why you don't allow her to meet with her alumni.
To be honest, I personally don't like going out.
(I don't like going out.)
(What's he talking about?)
- You don't like to go out? - No.
What does that have to do with this?
I just want to be with her.
(He's being unreasonable.)
Right, but be honest and tell us the real reason.
Is it because you'd be stressed out if she isn't...
home to cook for you?
- Be honest. - I'd have to do everything.
(I'd have to do everything.)
- If she isn't home. - And you don't like that.
(This is wrong.)
I want to help her, but I have to work at the store.
My life was like running on a treadmill...
when I used to work at a dockyard.
All I did was work and sleep,
but we still couldn't save any money.
- Wait. - Then when you got married...
- Let her talk. - She's angry now.
From the moment we got married and until now,
he has had enough fun.
In the last 19 years.
Until he opened the car wash.
Even just before my baby's due date,
I peeled garlic to make money for the baby's formula.
While I was working hard despite my pregnant belly,
he packed up to go fishing without telling me.
He even bought new rubber boots for it.
Let's ask. Sir, this is different from what you said.
You said that you dislike going out.
But she's saying you had enough fun.
It's true that I've had enough fun.
- Then... - Now, I only need her.
(That's his conclusion.)
- Dong Yeob, ask him again. - You hear the jeering?
- She must be so frustrated. - Right now,
the husband just keeps saying what he wants to say.
They're both being unbending.
- Let's talk to their family members. - Their kids?
- Their kids are here. - We should talk to them.
Say hello to our audience. Nice to meet you.
- Hello. - Hello.
You're all aware of your mum's worry, right?
- Let's start with the second one. - Go ahead.
Dad keeps checking up on Mum...
even when she goes to the bathroom...
or steps out to answer a call.
(He keeps monitoring her.)
- When she's in the bathroom? - He makes me call Mum.
We know how stressed out Mum is,
so we tell him that we'd call her and...
You guys are clever.
We didn't call her and just left it at that.
Then let's talk about you as his daughter.
What's your relationship with your dad like?
What's he like as a father?
I don't think he's really interested in us.
(He's not really interested in us.)
Why do you think that?
Well, he talks with Mum a lot.
- Only with your mum? - He's close to Mum.
- That's what she thinks. - "He's only close to Mum."
So you're not close to your dad?
I don't think we're that close.
- They're not that close. - She feels distant.
Out of us girls, I'm the one who's the closest to him.
(His fourth daughter is close to him.)
I see.
Tell us about memories you share with your dad.
When he wants to eat fried chicken,
he tells me to call the restaurant and place an order.
(That's the memory she has with him.)
You're doing your mum's job!
It sounds like he made her do that many times!
He's making you do what your mum usually does.
Her dad would be like, "Order it for delivery!"
"Be grateful that I'm making you do this!"
Someone has to order fried chicken.
Do you have any complaints about your dad?
- I don't want him to fight with Mum. - Their fights.
Once, Mum went out,
and Dad threw a box of wet wipes at her.
He also threw the drying rack and broke it.
When I see those things, I get upset.
- I get annoyed. - That's very understandable.
- I want to run away from home... - Sorry?
- when they fight. - She wants to leave home.
(Their children have been watching everything.)
Seeing parents fight make kids feel very nervous.
- Of course. - Sir, you heard what your kids said.
(He's obsession is hurting the entire family.)
- How do you feel? - I think I should be better.
When my first three daughters were growing up,
I used to work at the dockyard.
(He worked at a dockyard.)
I had to work in Geoje Island and Jinhae,
- so I used to travel back and forth, - I see.
and I couldn't pay much attention to the three girls.
- The first three daughters. - Yes.
- I've been doing my best to work hard. - We know.
- I hope my wife helps me out more. - Sir.
(He still asks her for help.)
It does look like he is very stressed out.
When someone is incapable of communicating,
it often means that person is dealing with something.
You didn't understand what he said about polishing,
but I was actually fixated on that.
When you have a lot on your mind,
it's very hard to organise your thoughts.
When that happens, many people experience that...
cleaning something helps them clear their heads.
He doesn't get along with his kids, so he's lonely.
That loneliness worsens his relationship with his wife.
He relies on her more because he's lonely,
and it turns into wanting to control her.
His wife is the one who sent us this story,
but I'm curious to know what he regrets...
and what stresses him at home.
He should be able to tell us from his perspective.
I'd like to hear what he thinks.
I often leave work very late at night.
I felt the loneliest during the winter.
- It's so cold, too. - I'd get up at 5:30am...
and leave home in my winter jacket to go to work.
That was a very difficult time for me.
As you know, we have many children.
We have to raise our kids, so I've been working...
harder than other people to make more money.
That's what's been happening.
But now, I'm realising that it was pointless.
I couldn't pay attention to my kids,
and the kids don't care...
whether I leave home or not.
I'm thinking that I've lived my life wrong.
(He feels confused.)
You understand him to a certain degree, right?
That must be why you've been working hard.
You admit that he's been working hard, right?
Yes, he has been working hard.
But he did it to be able to do what he wants to do.
(It was to be able to do what he wants to do.)
(They have such conflicting viewpoints.)
That's what your wife thinks.
This is the problem. He thinks that...
he's been working hard for his family,
but his wife thinks that it was...
- to do what he wants. - This is what I think.
- For 10 years, I've been raising our kids... - Yes.
and doing all the housework...
I also think it's because they had kids very early.
- I agree. - Actually, we...
I'm not sure if I can talk about marriage like this.
- Right, know your place. - I know. I should.
(Know your place.)
- But... - How dare you?
people have told me that marriage is like that.
Do you ever think about when you first got married...
or before you got married?
Yes.
- I'm sure you were beautiful. - They lived fiercely.
- I'm curious. - It's before she got married.
(Oh, my!)
(She looked so happy and lively.)
Gosh, you were very beautiful.
She was full of life.
Her smile is so beautiful, too.
- She's very pretty. - Indeed.
(That was me in my youth.)
Kids, that's your mum!
- Your mum was 20... - Can you recognise your Mum?
or 21 years old back then.
Sir, you haven't...
seen her like that in ages, right?
- It's been so long. - How do you feel?
(He hasn't seen his wife looking that happy in ages.)
(Many thoughts pass through his mind.)
Does your heart ache?
All I can think now is that I should be better to her.
(I want to be a better husband.)
(This happy smile...)
(was turned into tears in the last 19 years.)
(We hope you two can find happiness again.)
I'll tell you when I felt the saddest...
in the last 19 years.
Once, I was very sick while I was working.
- It was when you were sick. - Yes.
It was just after we opened the car wash,
so I had to work there to help out.
I lied down to put pain relief patches...
and curled up in the car to take quick naps.
When my fever went down, I came back out to work.
But my husband said,
"Why do you have to get sick when we're so busy?"
(How can he say such a thing?)
After that, I went to see a doctor...
because I couldn't bear the pain any more.
The doctor was like, "How did you tolerate the pain?"
- What did he say? - I had infection in my kidney.
(She had infection in her kidney.)
- Your kidney? - Yes, I had an infection.
- From working too much? - Your kidney?
The doctor said it'd take about two weeks to recover.
How did you tolerate the pain?
On the third day at the hospital,
I started getting worried about the car wash.
So I told the nurse about my kids.
I said that I have many kids and that...
I'd like to go home quickly to clean our place.
When you were at the hospital?
What did the nurse say?
- Did she let you go? - She inserted the IV needle...
on my hand and blocked here.
Then I went to the car wash and worked.
With the IV needle? Why did you do that?
- Your kids... - Gosh.
Then I went back and got an antibiotic shot.
(She should've put herself first.)
I couldn't stay at the hospital for two weeks.
- You were worried about your kids. - I said...
that I want to receive the treatment as an outpatient.
- So that's what you did. - Yes.
Did your husband fix meals during that time?
Even when I came home from the hospital,
I had to cook and fix meals for him.
When my family members are sick, I get medicine...
for them or take them to a doctor.
But whenever I get sick,
no one cares for me or brings me medicine.
No one makes me porridge or brings me food.
(She feels sad.)
- At such times, - Oh, dear.
I feel so sad.
(I need someone to lean on.)
- He never cooks for himself. - Washing cars...
Why were you like that?
At the time, I was under a lot of stress.
Most of what I earned went straight to the rent.
I had to pay the staff...
and for their meals.
I was under so much stress.
I guess I said things to her that I shouldn't have.
What you said that day...
- hurt her deeply and traumatised her. - Right.
- Did you ever apologise to her sincerely? - Yes.
- She needs healing. - That's important.
I don't remember doing so.
It happens. As we get on with life,
we can misunderstand or say what we shouldn't,
especially when you're always together.
The problem here is that you didn't help her heal.
It's time to ask the wife the last question.
During the 19 years that you were married,
when did you feel the happiest?
After I became a full-time employee at work,
they sent me to a two-day trip.
- For training. - Yes, to train us.
I was so happy.
- Can company training be that fun? - It was.
Once we got there,
the person in charge asked us...
to raise our hand if we liked working.
I was the only one who raised hand.
- I really... - You meant it.
Until then,
I'd only been a mother and a wife.
It was like I'd lived without a name.
- At work... - Did they call your name?
They'd say, "Hi, Hyun Sook."
- Your surname, too? - Choi Hyun Sook.
- Hyun Sook. - When I heard my name back then...
Back then...
I'd never felt happier.
- Instead of family... - Let's make her happy.
Say, "Cheer up, Hyun Sook."
- Cheer up, Hyun Sook. - Cheer up, Hyun Sook.
(Hyun Sook, cheer up.)
Thank you.
What do you want to say?
- Be honest. - Say what you feel.
I know it's also hard for you.
Just a bit...
Even one day in a year will do.
Let me meet my friends freely,
and don't call me when I do.
Just let me meet them for a chat.
And I always...
(She can't put into words what she felt for 19 years.)
Is it hard to say?
Is it too much?
- Say what you want. - You have to.
Speak and cry all you want.
I hope we can care for and understand each other more.
Let's be happy.
(I want us to be happy.)
I love you.
Oh, dear.
Eun I, you first. Is it a worry or not?
I think it's a worry.
It breaks my heart.
For your five kids,
now is the time to figure out...
what will make...
- everyone happy. - That's right.
I think this is a worry.
I don't know anything about married life.
- You, too? - I'm still young.
- You're tall. I thought you were married. - Really?
It's a worry.
- I think it's a worry. - In Seong.
- Woo Yeol? - Yes.
It's a worry.
A lot of you talked to the husband,
so I'd like to speak to the wife.
There's something called the Superwoman Complex.
- I think you have it. - I agree.
You do everything well.
You raise five kids and do the housework until 11pm.
This can become a vicious cycle.
If your husband changes, you must as well.
When you do everything well,
and people acknowledge and commend you for it,
you push yourself to do more.
Instead of telling you what to do,
I want to tell you what not to.
- You should draw the line. - That's a good advice.
- I mean... - Yes.
Why work when you're sick?
- Enjoy your time off. - They'll manage without you.
You're the one who can't stand it.
If you think her husband gave her a hard time,
press your buttons.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Time's up. - Time's up.
Sir, I'd like to hear what you think now.
Honestly, to my wife,
I don't know what to say to her.
I didn't know she was struggling this much.
I thought I was the only one having a hard time.
Of course.
I'd like to help her at home, if possible.
- She can see her friends and go to reunions. - Good.
- Of course. - Sometimes.
Thank you.
That's so important.
I think that...
She's the happiest that she ever was.
Do you know what's most important?
- Now she's smiling. - It's meeting people.
Now, she smiles.
Say something to your school friends.
Will you let her start this year?
Let's start meeting regularly.
(Let's meet up.)
(I didn't know she could smile.)
You can be in charge of organise the meetings.
Are you done?
I love you, Hyun Sook.
Oh, dear.
What is love, really?
Let's see how many votes they got.
(The result)
We have a five.
A hundred something and five.
- She needs 165 votes to win. - No way.
- Is it 165? - No.
She got 145 votes.
(Hyun Sook's eliminated and Su Bin survived.)
Hyun Sook.
Be strong.
Cheer up, Hyun Sook.
We dealt with worries...
similar to this one before.
Let's see how this one pans out.
Hello, I've been working for four years.
I'm sure everyone wants to go home after work.
- That's true. - In my case,
- I never get off work. - What?
The phone rings.
"Hello? Oh, Sir."
"Where are you?"
"I'm meeting a friend after work."
"I'm on my way now."
"Are you?"
"Well, you see..."
"I'm bored."
- "Come to Hongdae right now." - My goodness.
(Come to Hongdae.)
- Just because he's bored? - That's honesty for you.
Not only does he summon me on weekdays,
he does it on weekends, too.
- "I'm bored." - He's honest.
He phones me, "Come and join me."
"I really can't today."
"I have an important gathering."
"Are you talking back now? How dare you."
"Come on out."
I ended up following him around for five hours...
- while he went shopping. - Shopping?
"After work today, we'll go rafting at Donggang River."
"I have a blind date today."
"I really can't join you."
- That's important. - "A blind date?"
"Okay, then."
"Everyone will work overtime."
"We'll all work late."
"You pick one. Go rafting or work late."
I had no choice but to cancel the date and go rafting.
I have no personal time...
Why is everyone so possessive?
What a tough episode.
I can't do this.
Please save me from my possessive employer.
(Please rescue me.)
If a boss suddenly suggests we go rafting,
I'd think some would like it.
- It depends. - You know...
everyone works alone or separately these days.
They don't meet up as much.
I've heard people complain that their companies...
don't have dinners or gatherings.
You say that because you haven't been on blind dates.
- After you're married... - I'd rather go rafting.
- We'd rather go rafting. - We would.
- Yes. - Yes.
The relationship won't last anyway.
What?
- What logic is that? - We know our boyfriends.
- Let's meet the troubled employee.
- Come out. - Come out.
(Who's the employee that has no personal life?)
(Min Kyung Won)
Did he really say that?
"I'm bored."
He wanted to see me to talk.
- What? - To see you?
He has a girlfriend,
and it was a perfect time for a date.
He called me instead.
What is it with everyone today?
Where do you work at?
At a travel agency.
My boss and I work in adjacent desks.
- Side-by-side? - Yes.
Alongside or opposite? - Beside him.
He sits next to me.
I get the feeling that...
he monitors me all the time.
Even after I get off work,
he says, "I miss you. Let's eat. Let's have a drink."
Meeting him feels like I'm still at work.
I have to stay with him until 2 to 3am to drink,
and that happens 3 or 4 times a week.
- Does it feel like work? - Yes.
I want to relax and enjoy my hobby,
but when my boss calls me,
I have no choice but to drop everything and go.
Does he call on weekends?
On weekends, he goes to Paju...
- to go shopping. - To Paju?
- To the outlets. - The outlet stores?
- In Paju? - Isn't that...
- where celebrities go? - Couples go there, too.
He shops for about five hours.
Once, we shopped for eight hours.
We just walked around.
Does your boss do this only to you...
or to others as well?
I'm the youngest employee,
so he abuses me the most.
Other employees could think he favours you.
They'd think he prefers you.
- Right. - Do they?
He does seem to like me,
but he abuses his authority.
He ruins my plans...
- and takes over my life. - What if you refuse?
- Say you have plans. - Say no.
Then he says, "Will you come with me..."
"or will you work overtime?"
There are times when I flat out refuse to join him.
Then he says,
"You're arrogant. You're talking back."
"You think you've grown up."
The sister in our first story...
- went looking for her sister. - She went to her.
- To watch. - On dates.
Does he ever do that?
One time, I was having drinks with my friends.
People can track your location through social media.
- That's right. - Yes.
I only found out recently. He came and found me.
- You can track people? - How?
If you leave your GPS on...
and you posted a photo, it'll be traced automatically.
So did he come and find you?
Yes. My friends and I were hanging out.
Two hours later, I saw my boss behind me.
Behind you? That's exactly the same.
Did he say, "Baby"?
"Baby."
He abuses his power to force his employee to see him.
Let's meet the boss. Hello.
(Who is the obsessive boss?)
Hello.
(He looks mischievous.)
Your employee says that it's a worry.
What do you think?
I'm speechless that he's complaining.
We eat good food and have fun when we go out.
He's complaining about that.
Instead of going to the same bar for jjamppong,
I could treat him to a restaurant with steak, tuna...
and lobster. I think it's better.
- How is it a worry? - Lobster.
- I don't get it. - They changed minds with lobster.
- It's lobster. - He should just go.
Why are you acting so childish?
He complains about going to the outlet,
but I think it's really nice to go with me.
What would other employer and employee shop together?
It's just on the weekends, and he's single.
He has a lot of time on weekends.
We went to the Paju Premium Outlets.
We might have gone for a shirt, but I might get pants.
We could also shop for shoes.
- Do you buy him anything? - Do you get him shoes?
- Sometimes. - He buys sometimes.
- Her sister, too. - The 100 dollars.
- They're so similar. - Why are they so similar?
- You don't care if he doesn't buy you, right? - No.
- You prefer him to leave you alone? - Yes.
- That's right. - Yes.
We talk about the abuse of power a lot.
Have you ever thought that he might be reluctant?
He's the youngest at our company.
That may be why his work needs some training.
I call him on weekends to supervise him.
He would talk about how good Jun Ji Hyun looks,
or about a new girl group...
and how nice their album and music video are.
- That's it? - That's what he talks about.
- He called you for that? - We don't talk about work.
What does that have to do with a travel agency?
I was really pressured by my boss in my previous job.
I thought that if I were to run a business,
I'd make sure to have a fair employment relationship.
That's why I talk about celebrities.
It's not related to work.
- You want to get close? - Does that make them equal?
If I talk about Jun Ji Hyun, are we equal?
(What you say is...)
(utterly ridiculous.)
We need to hear from the other employees.
- Let's see what the others say. - Hello.
- Hello.
He looks like such a nice man.
Do you have any complaints against your boss?
- I've met my boss eight years ago. - That's long.
I don't have any complaints.
Does he treat you like he does to Kyung Won?
Before Kyung Won started, I never had a weekend.
- I would drink with him every day. - They switched.
Is that why you're smiling now?
Is this a process he should go through?
I agree that it's a little too much,
but it's necessary.
(He must go through it.)
- He can say that because he's free now. - He's fine.
It's none of his business any more.
Are you also an employee? You look like an investor.
- Yes. Hello. - He looks like a tourist, too.
I thought he was an investor.
He doesn't look very kind, though.
It's impossible for everyone to look kind.
I used to work for him. I left the company now.
When things were getting tough, he was hired.
- It got better for me soon. - It was getting tough.
I still like our boss.
These people are trying so desperately.
Isn't it because he's right beside you?
That could be true, but it's not.
It's not like he pays you any more.
He has nothing to do with my life...
- any more. - Nothing to do with your life?
- He's nothing now. - That's why you're relaxed.
I'm really comfortable right now.
(Laughing)
I can sit like this.
As you can see, the other guy is sitting very politely.
They're in very different positions.
Let's be honest. For the employee in the middle,
Just imagine that your boss is not here.
Did he give you any hard time lately?
Kyung Won got enteritis last time...
- and was away for a week. - He's talking right away.
That's when my turn came back.
(I had to take his place.)
(The abyss of obsession)
I hope Kyung Won never gets sick again.
I love you, Boss.
(I still love you.)
Why do you spend time only with your staff?
Don't you have friends?
I have a lot,
but Kyung Won needs some love and attention.
You do the same thing to your other staff as well.
I've treated Kyung Won so well.
The watch he's wearing now is from me.
- Really? - Wow.
- That was over 300 to 400 dollars. - Really?
- Do you want to take it off? - As for him,
we even travelled to Laos together.
- Laos? - I took him on trips.
- I can't understand... - What an amazing boss.
- why he complains. - Did you pay for it?
I paid for the food, but...
Did he pay for his own flight and hotel?
Yes, of course he paid.
I've been to Laos about 10 times.
I know how to travel around in Laos with low budget.
If we're going to work,
I think it's best to go somewhere nice if we can.
I hear Laos is really popular these days.
Isn't it better than working in your office?
Of course, it is good sometimes.
He wanted to go when work was really busy.
I told him we should go another time.
About two hours later, he told me,
"We're going to Laos tomorrow at 8pm."
It was more of an announcement.
When we arrived in Laos, all we did was work.
- What work? - Didn't you go to travel?
We had free time if our work for the day was finished.
But we worked every day.
The Internet connection there was unstable in Laos.
When it didn't work, we were just waiting at our desks.
You could have finished earlier back at the office.
You had to pay to go there just to work longer.
I believe time is like gold.
I thought of it as a vacation.
They spend to go out with friends in Seoul.
I would make it possible so that he doesn't spend much.
I planned it all out.
If he paid for the full trip,
it wouldn't matter if they work there or not.
- However, he collected money for it. - Yes.
- Right? They have to pay to go to work. - Yes.
- They have to pay. - They can't travel properly.
What is that?
Did you also go?
Yes, I went with them.
I'm used to it.
(I don't care any more.)
We go to Jeju Island 2 to 3 times a year.
We went to Laos, Thailand and Indonesia, too.
Does he give you time off after a trip to Laos?
We were there for a week.
He said we would part ways after lunch upon arrival.
Our boss served the army in Goseong.
(Goseong in Gangwon Province)
We went there to have lunch.
(For lunch?)
- Why? - I'm sorry, didn't you arrive in Incheon?
- Was it Yangyang International Airport? - Incheon.
- Yangyang... - Why?
In Goseong?
After we arrived, I wanted to stay longer with them.
- Did you eat? - Did you come back right after lunch?
We stayed in Goseong for 4 days and 3 nights.
What?
What is that?
What is that? As they worked?
When do they work?
Everyone must have had a plan of their own.
If you take them away for another four days,
I'd be so confused if I were them.
- Everything happens spontaneously. - Exactly.
I had a blind date one day.
So I dressed up that day and went to work.
That's when he decided to come in his swimsuit.
He wanted to go rafting in Donggang River.
- Donggang River. - Why did it have to be that day?
He told me to forget about the blind date.
I had to choose between overtime or Donggang River.
- If he had a blind date, - Yes.
why didn't you let him go? It's so sudden.
When I woke up that morning,
I thought it would be great to go rafting with them.
I prepared all of their outfits...
and booked our accommodation. I was excited.
When I went to work, he kept talking about the date.
I already prepared everything, so I was upset...
when they didn't want to go. I took them anyway.
(He giggles.)
That was an abuse of power.
It was.
Let's say he went to the blind date.
I doubt it would have lasted.
He would go on dates and that would be it.
Instead, we could go swimming in the nature.
I think that's more effective.
There was someone I was interested in.
- Did you? - A woman?
He wanted to video call her, and I refused.
I told him I will do that later on.
- In the end, he called her. - Yes.
After that, the girl felt pressured...
- and we drifted apart. - Gosh.
It would be weird to video call someone...
- when they aren't dating. - That's awkward.
He would have peaked in.
That's so weird.
Why would you do that?
Kyung Won would tell me...
that he has a lot of girlfriends.
Although he boasted to me, he didn't have any.
- I wanted to find out the truth. - The truth.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Yes, I do.
Did he video call your girlfriend?
Yes, he did.
(Of course he did.)
- Are you still with the same girlfriend? - Yes.
That's their problem, not mine.
He's dating just fine.
Whereas it never works out for Kyung Won.
- Can you tell us... - My girlfriend said one thing.
- What did she say? - What did she say?
- Tell us. - She didn't want to and scolded me.
- Girls hate that. - They hate it the most.
It's awkward to do that unless you're close.
- It's awkward. - You shouldn't even if you're close.
Sometimes he's like a good big brother.
However, there are definitely times...
when he uses his power to force it on us.
- I served in the Marine Corps. - Did you?
He has some friends from the Marine Corps too.
- One day, he handed over a video call. - Again?
- He likes video calls. - He introduced us.
They told me to come to Seorak Mountain the day after.
It was an order.
My co-worker and I had to...
go to Seorak Mountain to meet them.
One time at a team dinner,
he called one of his friends from the Marine Corps.
He wanted to hear the military song and made me sing.
He enjoys things like that.
Is that a joke? Don't you think it's too much?
Whenever I say anything, he would refute it.
He doesn't listen when I say it a couple of times.
He always says, "No, I don't want to."
When he does that, it irritates me.
That's why I get my friend to come in. It's for fun.
- It's just a fun happening. - No matter...
what your original intention is,
the other person might not take it that way.
That's why he thought of quitting his job.
Yes. To be honest,
I even walked up to him with my resignation letter.
It was ripped in front of my eyes.
- What? - He ripped it in front of me.
"Don't try to run away. Just sit down."
"Sit down. Just sit down."
All I could do was sitting back down.
(I have no power.)
- He just sat back down. - He had no choice.
He's a good employee.
It shows how close they are.
To be honest, it's really hard...
- to find a job these days. - It's quite hard.
I don't want to look incompetent to my parents.
- That's abusing power. - Yes.
Stealing something is theft, and I believe...
stealing time in a large sense is also theft.
- Yes. - If you...
tell them the day of on your terms...
- "It's Donggang River today!" - I agree.
"Let's go!"
- Yes. - I think that's the biggest problem.
You're stealing his time.
I have something to say.
Since we work at a travel agency, communication is key.
This is the way I train my staff.
That's right. You're right.
If that's the case, you should persuade them.
"Tourists might go to Donggang River on this day."
"We'll go next week." Then everyone would go.
There wouldn't be any conflicts.
You can't show up in your underwear and force them.
- Shorts. - It was shorts.
Don't turn him into a pervert.
- Didn't you say it was underwear? - Be honest.
What did you want to accomplish on the show?
I want you to give us free time after work.
- Sometimes we don't want to drink. - Right.
I want to see my friends, too.
He calls me out every day.
Can you promise him?
He still needs my help with his work.
If he can improve his weaknesses,
I'll reduce the amount of time I take him out.
Can't you choose days of the week to do that?
You should plan it out.
It comes to me spontaneously.
That's how it works for me.
- Whoever sits on that chair is arrogant. - Yes.
- Maybe we should change seats. - We should.
- What do you think? - Me?
- Yes. - I don't think it's a worry.
I can see that it's possible to improve.
I run a business that creates contents.
I wanted to treat my staff so I booked a restaurant...
on a Saturday that costs over 100 dollars a person.
No one was happy with it.
You may think that you're being kind,
but if they don't want it,
it's useless.
I think you should consider what they're thinking.
All right.
I believe it's a worry.
(I think it's a worry.)
I don't know much about working in an office...
- You too? - Yes.
(Really?)
- An office worker... - But you're so tall.
I think you should plan trips out beforehand.
- I don't think it's a worry. - Okay.
What about you?
I think it's a worry.
You should try to recognise that...
you have the desire to control others...
with power without you knowing it.
If you could be more aware,
I think it'll get resolved.
If you can relate, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- That's it. - Stop.
Please say a few words to your employee.
While trying to achieve my dream,
I'll do my best not to abuse my power.
Let's continue being like friends...
and get along. I'm sorry.
(I'm sorry.)
(It's a heartfelt apology.)
Good.
He's such a warm-hearted man.
I wonder how many votes they got. Show us the result!
(The result)
The last number is five.
(Current winner has 158 votes.)
Is it over 100 votes?
Is it over 100?
It's 85.
(Smiling)
- You can go up. - Good job.
With that, "Dad, Please" wins for the second time.
We'll give the winner a 1,000-dollar gift certificate.
Well, how was it Eun I?
I think people should talk.
You should tell people if you love them. Always ask.
You should check with the others if they feel the same.
It might be a one-sided love or even forced love.
I hope they get to communicate more through this.
You're complete in every way. You just need a husband.
(All you have to do is get married.)
You too?
(Do you want to get married?)
But you're so tall.
Until the day we are all worry-free...
Hello will continue to counsel you.
(Hello will continue to counsel you.)
(Who is the king of reaction for today?)
- My goodness. - You must have been hurt.
Your husband really didn't send it?
(You're the queen of reaction.)
(Text us your photo to get your gift.)
