We will counsel you on your unspeakable concerns.
National Competition on Worries.
Let me introduce our guests for today.
She's a happy virus that makes us all happy.
Singer Hong Jin Young.
- Hello. - You're so pretty.
Hello.
Actor Lim Ju Hwan.
(Lim Ju Hwan)
The next guest has been with us for two weeks in a row.
That's a first.
It is. Actor Choi Tae Joon's here.
(Choi Tae Joon)
Last week, he covered his forehead with hair,
and we said that he should show it instead.
Report to the government.
(We like your style.)
He's so direct.
There was an inventory to check.
There was work to do. Did you have to go?
As a man, I can't stand this.
To be honest...
Show us your forehead.
- I have a bump here. - That's a nice forehead.
Show your forehead next time.
I will.
- Will there be a next time? - He looks different.
- He said he'd come again.
- He's here. - He did his hair...
without consulting us.
I waited outside to be let in.
You brought Ju Hwan because you two are very close.
Tae Joon cast him himself.
- Not our crew? - No.
I was too embarrassed to come alone,
so I called him and knelt and begged.
He said he needed to come again.
- He needed help. - I see.
How did you meet?
We did a drama together.
It aired on SBS.
I thought Ju Hwan is perfect for Hello.
He's a lot like a Confucian scholar.
Why do you say that?
- He's like an old fashioned noble. - Old fashioned?
- He even gives frank advice. - I see.
- Having handsome guests each week... - It's nice.
- Yes. - Look at Yeong Ja.
I'm so happy. Dong Yeob, you look like a sea creature.
You do when you're next to Tae Joon.
Hello, baby octopus.
Baby octopus?
Ju Hwan's drama "Uncontrollably Fond" is on TV now.
It's so fun.
In the drama,
you play Daddy Long Legs.
- Yes. - What are you really like?
- He has long legs. - I'm the complete opposite.
People don't think so, but I'm very cool headed.
- Even to women? - Yes, I'm quite calm.
- How? - How can you stay calm?
I just...
Heart, heart.
(Jin Young does her trademark gesture.)
He doesn't know how to deal with that.
Do that again.
It's Ju Hwan.
That's nice.
(The cool headed calmness has gone.)
(Giggling)
Now that you're here,
what kind of advice do you think you can give?
I tend to go with whatever will cause the least risk.
He's like AlphaGo.
- AlphaGo's good. - We like that.
- Jin Young? - I can cheer anyone up.
- That's right. - You're so positive and energetic.
I have fun even when I'm alone.
I have fun even when I'm in the shower.
- In the shower? - Yes, I sing.
Sometimes I dance.
I practise my dance moves in the mirror.
- I see. - In the shower?
- Do you dance in the shower? - Yes.
(Stuck on repetition)
She just likes to have fun all the time.
- She loves fun. - I don't need anything.
I actually helped a lot of people I know...
- who were depressed. - What are you imagining?
His ears are turning red.
- Young man... - He loves the idea.
Tae Joon, what will your expertise be?
Me? I'll be sincere and...
- I'll share the anger. - And?
What am I saying? I'm still stuck in the shower.
(Dancing in the shower)
Last week, "Dad, Please"...
- won for the third time. - Consecutively.
I get along with Su Bin.
I'd like to stop coming here now.
Everything's improved so you don't have to come here?
- Do you agree? - Actually,
we didn't spend much time together.
This week, we went shopping.
I think we spent the whole week together.
- Did you go shopping? - Yes.
What did you buy?
Clothes and shoes.
- With your money? - No.
Dad bought them for me.
- He's changed. - Good for him.
We'll see if you win for the fourth time.
- The winner gets... - A 1,000 dollars gift.
It's my turn to read out the first story.
The title is "I'm Not Your Mother".
That's it.
The person is from Gwangju and I need someone...
to play the husband.
Should I go with Ju Hwan or Tae Joon?
I get to pick for once.
You need to speak in a Jeolla Province dialect.
I'll test you both.
Say, "What's important?" Ju Hwan, you first.
What's important?
I quite liked that.
- Tae Joon. - What's important?
You got it.
(Tae Joon got it.)
(He's good.)
Hello. I'm a housewife in her 50s with a heavy heart.
I'm practically the breadwinner.
I work in the restaurants...
and even carry pavement bricks at midday.
I support our family.
What does my husband do?
- Nothing. - What?
He does nothing but stay at home.
He did that for the past 10 years.
- Oh, dear. - That's 10 years.
He calls me when I'm at work.
"Honey, when will you be back?"
"Why ask? I can't go home until I'm done."
"I'm busy right now."
"I'm bored."
"I hate being alone. Come home quick."
He acts like a child. Once I do come home,
he makes me do everything for him.
Even then?
What drives me crazy...
is that he drinks when he's at home.
Once he's drunk, he loses his mind and goes outside.
- He ends up in hospital. - Oh, my.
Ju Hwan, you might as well work.
(He scored a role.)
Read the doctor's part.
- Like a psychopath. - Yes.
"Hello?"
- "This is Hello Hospital." - "Oh."
"Your husband's in the ER. Can you come over?"
"What? He's where?"
You did good.
(He wasn't prepared for that.)
He always gets into trouble.
How long do I have to put up with this?
Is it too much for me to wish that...
my husband could go out and work like others?
What do you think I should do?
(What should I do?)
- Ju Hwan. - Well done.
I was impressed.
Real doctors don't exaggerate...
or speak like actors do in dramas.
They're very calm and you nailed it.
What did you think, Jin Young?
The wife held this in for 10 years...
and finally decided to get some help about it.
I think we need to get to the bottom of this.
(Stay tuned.)
- Tae Joon? - I think...
based on what we heard,
the husband was made to look bad.
If he wasn't able to work for that long,
maybe there's a reason.
- What if there isn't? - I'm curious.
What if there is?
He needs to be crushed.
I wish there's a reason.
Let's meet the person who wrote into us.
Come on in.
Could you two welcome her?
(Hwang Bok Nam)
Hello.
(Zoom)
(She's escorted by two handsome young men.)
Welcome.
Please introduce yourself.
- Should I stand up? - No, stay seated.
You're too stressed to stand up.
- No one said that before. - It's a first.
That would be a first.
Hello, I'm Hwang Bok Nam from Gwangju.
Welcome.
(Nice to meet you.)
My first impression of you...
is that you like to dress young for your age,
but you seem very upset and stressed out.
- She looks worried and downcast. - She looks upset.
You said he hasn't worked for 10 years.
- How long were you married? - 23 years.
(She looks away.)
- Then he worked for... - Excuse me.
(She's unique.)
If someone asks a question, look when you answer.
- For 23 years... - Does your husband...
disapprove of you speaking with other men?
- It's just awkward. - Is it?
- It's just awkward. - I get it.
Then did he work for the first 13 years?
Yes, he did.
(Okay...)
What did he do?
Just talk to him.
She's upset which is why she's here,
- but seeing a handsome young man... - It's nice.
She's a bit shy.
How did you support the family?
I worked.
I was the breadwinner.
I started working in offices,
- then at construction sites. - Manual labour.
Bricks are really heavy...
especially for a woman.
I did that for a week.
- They were incredibly heavy. - They are.
- Too heavy. - Now when I see pavements...
I think of the people who laid the bricks.
It was that hard.
You know the work that went into it.
Do you walk on the road, then?
What am I saying?
(I'm having a bad day.)
What do you do now?
I work at a restaurant at night.
- From when to when? - From 9pm to noon.
I haven't slept since 4pm yesterday.
- Did you come here after work? - Yes.
- Without getting any sleep? - Yes.
You must be tired.
Oh, dear.
- You must have children. - Yes.
How many do you support?
I have 2 sons, so there are 4 of us.
- Four? - Yes.
It must be hard working alone...
to support a family of four.
It's hard.
What does your husband do while you work?
He does pretty much the same thing every day.
He watches TV, sleeps, eats...
- Eats. - and goes online.
I see.
He just rolls around.
Rolls around?
- From stomach to his back. - That's not easy.
You wrote that he keeps calling you.
Yes. He says that I should leave my work.
He starts calling me about 30 minutes later.
I have to work and I can't focus if he calls.
That was stressful.
How many times do you think he calls a day?
On a bad day, over 10 times.
Why does he call? He knows you're at work...
and he isn't, doesn't he?
- What does he say? - He apologises for everything...
and says he misses me.
When he sees you every day?
I tell him not to say such nonsense.
You're sweating away serving and cleaning tables...
and he says, "I miss you."
"I'm bored."
Did he do nothing for 10 years?
No.
- Did he stay at home? - Yes.
Oh, dear.
He was very sick 10 years ago.
He kept falling down and fainting,
so he practically lived in emergency rooms.
What did he have?
- It was stress related. - Stress related?
- Stress. - A panic disorder?
- Yes. - A panic disorder?
He was always anxious.
Before going somewhere, he urinates 30 times.
- Because he's nervous. - Yes.
He can't work because he has health issue.
Is he still very ill?
I think he's much better now.
Have the symptoms gone?
Yes, mostly.
- He's recovered, then. - That's a relief.
The fact that her husband is here...
means that he's at least 80 percent recovered.
Where are you?
- There he is. - Hello.
(Hello)
- You heard what she had to say. - Yes.
Did she tell the truth?
I'd say over 80 percent of it is true.
Do you understand why...
- I do. - Do you?
- Yes. - Why don't you work?
(Work, if you're better.)
After I suffered panic disorder...
I lost all confidence that I could work again.
Your wife has been the breadwinner for 10 years.
Why do you keep calling her when she's busy?
I love my wife a lot.
I call her sometimes hoping that...
I can cheer her up.
I appreciate her hard work.
Can't you go with that?
It's just a hassle.
(I have no energy to put up with it.)
I tell him not to call unless he has a reason.
It's okay to call if he has something to discuss.
If your phone rings all the time...
- and for no reason, you can't focus. - I see.
When you go home after work,
does he massage your legs...
or do all the housework and let you rest?
He said he loves you.
He doesn't do that.
- When it's time for me to get off work... - Yes?
If I don't answer the phone, he texts me.
"Buy some bread and cigarettes on the way home."
Things like that.
Why do you make her run errands?
Can't you go out and buy bread and cigarettes?
- He's speechless. - That was...
my way of showing how much I love her.
By making her buy bread?
If you love someone, you buy the bread...
and offer it to her after work.
Whenever I call her,
she complains that I called for no reason.
It defeats the purpose of calling her.
What are you saying?
(Is that your reason?)
You love her that much,
- and you know she's struggling. - Yes.
Even if it's not a full time job,
have you ever consider getting a part-time job...
to relieve her burden?
I tried doing physical labour after I got better.
I even worked at a grocery store.
However, it wasn't meant to be.
My work keeps on getting stuck mid way.
When I try again, it doesn't work.
It must have dropped your confidence.
- Yes, that's right. - Does he ever look for work?
One time, I brought home...
- the newspaper with job listings. - Yes.
I suggested him to try and call them.
I tell him to try it out.
Why don't you look for it yourself?
I'd do it if it's what I majored.
However, that's in a different field.
My wife worked at a factory before.
She worked at an electronics store as well.
She knows those things well. That's why I ask her.
I told her I would work if I can get in.
What kind of jobs has your wife found for you so far?
The ones you actually tried.
I worked at a company dealing with air conditioners.
- There... - How many days did you work there for?
Half a day.
(I was there for half a day.)
What?
(Shocking)
(Did you even work?)
Why did you do for half a day?
The place didn't suit my tastes.
- Tastes? - I haven't worked in a while,
so I didn't have strength in my legs.
I kept getting cold sweats.
I'm sure she doesn't want to work where she does, too.
What else? What else did she find for you?
- Something you tried. - The grocery store.
How long did you work at the grocery store?
Three days.
Why did you get fired? Did you get fired?
- Is it because you went back and forth? - I had...
to drive a truck. I've never drove one before.
I wasn't used to reversing it.
I had two accidents.
In three days?
It happened in one day.
- You had two in a day? - Yes.
I drove it for the first time that day.
How many days was your longest job?
- Three days? - A month.
- What kind of work? - Planning.
Why did you quit if that's your major?
- Why only a month? - Well,
I'm getting old and being an assistant...
didn't feel right, so I left.
- I think it's an excuse. - An excuse?
I told him to try temporary jobs, and he thought...
it would be too hard. Then I told him...
it's hard for everyone at first. Why not give it a try?
Try as much as he can and see where that goes.
He then told me that it's not his taste.
- That's why... - Gosh, his tastes.
Do you think she wants to work at the restaurant?
I just want him to go out once in a while.
He would spend 24 hours a day at home.
It would suffocate me. The fact that he's there...
gives me a lot of stress when I'm asleep.
I'm not a deep sleeper.
He walks around too much.
I can barely sleep an hour or two a night.
Why do you have to work at night instead?
- I chose that because of him. - Why?
If I work during the day and come home at night,
even the kids will go hungry.
If my husband is by himself all day,
he'll drink a lot.
He drinks a lot.
I work at night so I can keep an eye on him.
I'll spend time with him during the day...
and work when he's asleep.
- That made me decide. - How much can he drink?
I don't know since he hides them.
He hides them under the covers,
garbage cans...
and even inside the closet. It's everywhere.
I was so angry. When I found the bottles,
I got really upset at him.
Did a doctor call you from the emergency room?
- Yes, they called me. - Why?
He was too drunk. They didn't know who to call,
so they just left him there all that time.
They told me to come get him since he's awake.
Be honest. How many do you drink?
If I'm drinking with friends, I drink 4 out of 5 soju.
- You drink a lot. - That's a lot.
I think that should be her worry.
Yes.
He drinks every day.
Does it have any bad influence to his health?
He had several tests.
His liver isn't very good.
Gosh. He has illness in his heart...
and also in his body.
- Yes. - What we should take note is...
that your husband has almost completely healed...
from the panic disorder he was suffering 10 years ago.
- Yes. - That's 10 years ago, right?
- That's right. - Sir.
Is the reason why you have...
a bit of a speech impairment...
is due to the alcohol and not the panic disorder?
Yes.
- Is it? Because you drank too much? - That's right.
How old are you this year?
I'm 54 years old.
You're only four years older than me.
- Really? - Yes. I was really surprised.
You look like you're over 70 from a glance.
Why don't you go for walk around home...
and try to cut down your alcohol intake?
It'll make things a lot easier...
for many people. What do you think about that?
I really tried hard to cut it.
However, I love it so much.
It's so hard to quit.
I used to take walks as well,
but I end up quitting in a few days.
Why do you drink that much?
I'm distressed.
Things don't go my way, so I find comfort in drinks.
What stresses you out the most?
Although I'm the father of the family,
(I should be the breadwinner.)
I can't support my family.
That really makes my heart ache.
Even the kids...
know that I love to drink.
They don't consider me as their father.
They don't recognise me as their father.
That thought keeps bothering me.
- It has many things. - Yes.
To be a proud father, you should quit drinking.
Perhaps you tried transforming yourself.
Have you tried that strategy?
Even if I thought about it,
it will be hard to change my kids' hearts.
If they set their mind on something,
it tends to go on for a long time.
I try to be good to them...
by giving them allowance and other stuff.
- Whatever I do now... - They closed their hearts.
Doesn't look that positive to them.
There is no communication. Our kids don't speak...
even if they're home all day.
Is it the dad or the kids that don't talk?
- Or both? - Both.
Both the kids and my husband don't talk.
Is your eldest son working?
My eldest is still a student. He's studying.
- Right. - What about your younger son?
He plays video games all day at home.
- What? - Your son, too?
He must clash with your husband.
Yes. I'm not sure if it's because he saw his dad...
stay at home a lot, but they're alike.
- How old is he? - 22 years old.
He stays in his room all day.
- That's a problem. - He doesn't come out.
He should be helping you.
- Yes, he should work. - Yes.
Your husband and your son are both like that.
When you come home, you must...
- feel a little... - It's suffocating.
Is it suffocating?
I can now see why you look so sad.
Shouldn't you scold your son...
if he's always playing games at home?
I used to,
but I don't have the rights.
I couldn't do it so recklessly.
When I used to work at an office,
the kids would come visit me once in a while.
We were pretty close back then.
I got sick soon afterwards.
I started drinking, too.
That was the time they closed their hearts.
Then you could do it.
- If I yell at him... - Yes.
- and scold him, - Yes.
He tells me to talk to Dad instead of him.
He would become irritated.
He's saying the dad should set an example.
That's right.
If I tell him to leave my house,
he says...
he'll just die early.
- That's really painful. - That's harsh.
- Gosh. - Those words...
The dad isn't the problem. I better go get him.
You must be so frustrated.
Do you cry by yourself often?
I don't cry that much. I just sit on it.
I can tell that she does.
- That's the most painful. - She can't let it out.
I think you look gloom because you can't let it out.
There isn't a single person...
who can listen to your worries.
When you're heartbroken,
how do you get rid of your stress?
- Me? - Yes.
I don't have anyone to help me with my stress.
I haven't been to a karaoke in a long time.
It's because they don't know.
- I don't have time. - They don't even know.
- I don't have my own time. - Jin Young.
If you don't have...
anyone in your family to talk about your problems,
couldn't you meet with your parents or siblings?
My parents and siblings live very far away.
It's hard to talk to anyone about my life.
- Do you... - I talk to my mother a lot.
- I talk to her. - Do you tell her about this?
How did you tell her?
Well, it would upset her if I tell her.
You can't, right?
She tried not to tell her mum.
- Does she know everything? - Yes.
What does she say?
(I just feel so sorry to my mother.)
She cries, right?
She doesn't say anything.
Why did you tell your mum?
- It must be so stressful. - You should just tell us.
It must have broken her heart.
(She couldn't stand the loneliness and desperation.)
Is your husband the bigger problem?
Or are you more worried about your second child?
I can give up on my husband, but not on my children.
(I cannot give up on my children.)
- But... - All parents feel that way.
You think your husband must change first, right?
I don't think my son...
will change easily.
Sir, I'm sure your son has also made you sigh a lot.
Yes, he has.
Don't you think you're partially responsible, though?
Yes, I do.
Then you must change first.
You should drink less and take care of your health.
If you don't change, it'll be a vicious cycle.
You waste your time on your computer,
drink and just stay home.
You're also unemployed.
Your son must behave that way because he's frustrated.
I do think that you should change.
- I'll try to change a lot. - Great.
- Jin Young. - Yes.
You should go live in Gwangju for a month.
That's your speciality.
- You're from there. - My parents are there.
- You're great at uplifting people's mood. - Yes.
That's right. Well, would you be okay with that?
Sure, of course.
- Shall I visit your place? - Yes.
- The husband is smiling. - Does it sound good?
Jin Young. Make her smile, too.
Ma'am, you.
(She flaunts her cute charms.)
That was impolite.
Do that one more time! Let's make her laugh!
Ma'am, you.
(Chuckling)
- Sir. - She's not good at expressing emotions.
You've never seen her smiling like this, right?
No, I see it from time to time.
- Who's the one that is worried here? - Exactly.
(She's embarrassed.)
Yeong Ja.
Don't try to be too dramatic.
- He doesn't like that. - "From time to time."
When it comes to problems in marriage,
what we see and hear isn't everything.
I guess there's something we don't know.
Yeong Ja is embarrassed.
What do you want to do if your husband works?
I'd like to have my own time...
to be able to have fun and go on trips.
It'd be good to go on trips like other families, too.
- I want to live like that. - I see.
- It's nothing special. - You want that normal life.
She's stressed out because she can't live normally.
Sir. I'm sure you always feel this way.
As you know, she's been working for the last 10 years.
When did you feel the most apologetic...
towards her in the last 10 years?
Once, she came home from work in the morning.
Just as she was about to fall asleep,
I saw tears welling up in her eyes.
- You saw that? - Yes.
- Even after seeing that... - That's the moment...
I felt the most apologetic towards her.
Then you should just let her sleep.
We heard that you wake her up.
Is it because you're bored?
It's because she goes to bed too early.
(Excuse me?)
She does that because she's exhausted.
She must get so tired from work.
(She's laughing.)
Gosh, she's laughing. She's laughing out loud!
(She has burst into laughter.)
She does laugh from time to time. Make her laugh often.
This is why the title is "I'm Not Your Mother".
He's like her son. He doesn't act like her husband.
- Sir. - Yes.
Do you want your mum to stay up after getting home...
to spend time with you for a bit?
I just want her to stay up for 20 to 30 minutes.
(You choose sleep over me.)
It's because...
- He's her son. - She's his mum.
It's because she does get 7 to 8 hours of sleep...
after getting home from work.
That's enough sleep, right?
- Yes. - I just want her to spend...
a little bit of time with me so that we can talk.
Sir, are you a kid?
- She's sensitive, though. - She's just lying down.
She actually only gets 1 to 2 hours of sleep a day.
(I have nothing to say.)
Please look at your husband.
You've never looked at him since coming on this stage.
Look at him in the eye just once, please.
Tell him everything you've been keeping inside.
Look at your husband.
Honey.
From now on,
I'd like you to take care of things on your own.
It'd be amazing if you can stop worrying me.
I want you to call me only when it's necessary.
Okay. I will, Honey.
Jin Young, let's start with you.
Anyone would empathise with this worry.
It'd be great if her husband can make more efforts.
- Ju Hwan. - I also think it's a worry.
Sir, I think that you should try harder...
to spend more time with your family.
- Thank you. - Pleas stop beating yourself up...
for not being a good father.
Do things for your family instead of making them do it.
You should try to regain respect as a father.
I really hope to hear good news.
Yes. Please press the button if you empathise...
with the worry!
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Stop.
Please go ahead if you'd like to say something to her.
Honey.
I'll try to drink less from now on.
I'll also start looking for a job...
and do my best to find one.
Try not to be annoyed with me when you talk to me.
I hope we can be happy all the time. I love you.
(I love you.)
Sir.
We'd like to ask you one last favour.
Please say a few words to your sons, too.
Your resolution as a father.
Sure.
Kids.
You guys will be able to understand me better...
when you grow up, get married and have children.
I'm very sorry that I can't be a better father...
to you guys because of my current situation.
I hope that this show helps you understand me better...
and become better sons to me.
- That's it. - Thank you.
I'm so curious to find out how many votes she got.
Please show us the result.
The current winner received 158 votes.
"I'm Not Your Mother".
- Oh, my. - It keeps going up.
- Will it be 160? - Will it be over 158?
If she gets 160, she'll become the new winner.
- That's right! - 140, 150, 160...
- Will it happen? - Is it going higher?
("I'm Not Your Mother" takes its first win.)
(Eliminated)
(Am I supposed to be applauding now?)
"I'm Not Your Mother" has become the new winner.
("I'm Not Your Mother" is the new winner.)
This story is about conflicts and stress at work.
Many office workers have been sending stories lately.
Hello. I'm in my 20s, and I work at an office.
I'd like to...
tell you about a colleague who's out of his mind.
Work is not his priority.
He just watches video clips all the time.
I say, "The meeting is about to start."
He goes, "Hey, look at this! Isn't this so awesome?"
"Oh, my! Hey! It's a home run!"
Is it about baseball?
He's crazy about baseball. It's all he thinks about.
- Baseball. - "How many times do I have to tell you?"
"Why don't you make any effort?"
"You're not getting any better."
- Well... - Your dialect isn't getting any better.
(Your dialect isn't getting any better, indeed.)
You're not improving. How long have you done this for?
I saw a couple of fellows who are as bad as me.
(I saw a couple of fellows who are as bad as me.)
"Do I have to show you the batting posture again?"
My job is actually running and hosting events.
Why do I have to learn batting posture from him?
He drags me out to baseball practices, too.
This happened two days after I got home from a surgery.
"Hey. Come and meet me."
"Let's practise. Hurry up!"
(Dong Yeob's dialect sounds so awkward.)
I almost had to go to the hospital again...
after practising for two hours.
He can practise alone, right? Why does he do this?
He has just got a surgery.
Please help me. That's the story we received.
(Please stop my colleague.)
It must be so stressful to have to do things...
- that you don't like. - It must be so annoying.
Let's meet this man who is stressed out...
because of his colleague.
- Please come on out. - Yes.
(Who is this man that is forced to practise baseball?)
(Kim Dong Wook)
His white trousers will get all dirty from that.
Welcome to the show.
Yes, hello.
(He's greeting everyone while standing up.)
He greeted us before sitting down.
You said he made you practise right after your surgery.
What kind of surgery was it?
- Well... - There are many kinds of surgery, right?
(There are many kinds of surgery, right?)
Everything Dong Yeob says sounds racy.
No, no. It could've been an appendectomy...
or a surgery for sinus infection.
The surgery was done on my lower body.
- Your behind? - Was it down there?
Everyone thinks that I got circumcised when I say this.
Oh, gosh.
- Was it for haemorrhoids? - Seriously?
(He had to tolerate all the pain to practise baseball.)
You played baseball after getting that surgery?
- You can't do that. - That is crazy.
I practised baseball two hours that day.
I was feeling ill again last month due to the flu,
but he wanted to practise with me for an upcoming game.
So I played baseball for two hours again.
- You also wrote that you host events. - Yes.
I'm wondering any of this exaggerated a little.
- Right, to promote his events. - That's possible.
I didn't send my story to promote my events.
- I'm so stressed out. - You thought about it, no?
- Not at all. - Really?
- I just need to work hard. - I see.
Do your events outnumber the baseball practices?
No, it's the other way around.
(All will be good if he can play baseball less.)
He's more into baseball than baseball players are.
People who love baseball get like that.
How many times does he play baseball in a week?
- About 7 to 8 times. - In a week?
- You play every day? - I have to play...
- one game a day. - But there's one team, right?
No, I'm part of seven baseball teams.
(He joined seven baseball teams.)
- Seven teams? - Yes.
- He made you to do that? - After the morning game,
we had lunch. And then we played screen golf.
After playing the 18 hole course, we ate dinner.
Then we went to play screen baseball.
After that, we had to join another baseball team's...
dinner for the first half of the year.
We had another dinner there.
When I finally went home, it was 1am.
- That's all for baseball. - Yes. I left at 5am.
By any chance, do you even go abroad to play?
- They go abroad to play. - Yes.
- My team went abroad too. - You play abroad?
- We went to Palau. - Palau!
Yes. We went to Palau and...
we played against their national baseball team.
- Really? - He must be really good.
Does it affect your work at all?
It affects my work.
I still lack skills to do my job.
I should learn the skills from him,
but he only talks about baseball and gives me...
baseball lessons, such as how to hold gloves.
That's all he ever teaches me.
He tells me I have to play baseball well.
- A man should know how to play baseball. - Yes.
In fact, he loves playing baseball too.
- I've been playing for about 17, 18 years. - Yes.
I've seen someone who's a member of three teams.
But I've never seen someone who joined seven teams.
Let's meet his colleague who's mad for baseball.
Hello!
(Who is his colleague crazy for baseball?)
Do you really play for all seven teams?
Yes. I'm part of Seoul Mentory Baseball Team,
Daegu Mentory Baseball Team, Leaders Baseball Team,
Raon Wooris Baseball Team, Bijum Baseball Team,
Okay Friends and Seonggwang Family Baseball Teams.
I play for a total of seven baseball teams.
- That's amazing. - I am curious.
Were you aware of his concerns?
Actually, I had no idea.
You didn't know he didn't like it?
Whenever I asked him, he followed me.
He did whatever I asked.
So I thought he liked it. I'm shocked.
Have you ever told him that you wanted to stop?
I say it these days.
Then what does he say?
"You have to play baseball well to work well."
"It makes you study life. Baseball does that to you."
"Draw. Draw your life."
"If you play each innings well,"
"everything in life will turn out well."
- According to him, - He says you should learn...
- there are nine innings in life. - life through it.
He compares everything to baseball.
I'm teaching him one by one, and he's mistaken me.
How far have you gotten in your life?
I'm on the fifth innings,
and I am winning with a big score difference.
Wow!
- You're about to win. - That's right.
- By the way... - He's confident.
When someone is bad,
you give up teaching him at one point.
- Yes. - How well does he play baseball?
Actually, he's terrible at it.
Then why do you keep making him do it?
Since we are event MCs, we need to know...
- many people and to be sociable. - Right.
That's why I make him do it.
I am curious how good he is.
Can you show us here?
I might miss the ball.
I am still not used to holding the glove.
You still don't know how to hold the glove?
- Are you left-handed? - I'm right-handed.
- But you hold it with your right hand? - Yes.
- With my left hand. - Can you come out and play?
He's not good at playing baseball.
He's right handed, yet he holds it with his right hand.
Oh dear.
- Play without a ball. - Play without a ball.
Just show us how you throw.
(He makes a fuss.)
- Show us. - All right.
(He had to practise all the time.)
(Yet he's sloppy.)
(This is what you call waste of time.)
He's bad.
He's funny.
He's worse than me.
Please show us how you throw.
He's been a pitcher for a long time.
(How does the member of seven teams play?)
(He strikes!)
(His pitching is filled with confidence!)
- He's good. - He's amazing.
(He's amazing.)
- He's good. - How many years have it been?
- It's been 10 years. - He's good, right?
- He's very good. - Tae Gyun, please show us.
Show us. How many years have you been playing?
How many years has it been?
- It's been 15 years. - 15 years.
(He will show everything he's learned.)
Like this.
(Throwing)
- Like this. - What?
That was nice.
- Can you show us how you do it? - Yes.
Show us.
I've never done it.
- Come on. - That's even more fun.
Just show us your posture.
He looks like a professional player.
- He looks like Randy Johnson. - Randy Johnson.
You know Randy Johnson.
- Do you want the ball too? - No.
- Oh dear. - All right.
(He's programmed to be a baseball player.)
Come on.
That's awesome.
Let's play catch.
You can tell if the person is good or not by...
Dong Yeob is really bad.
Do you know why he's bad?
If your body follows when you throw, you're bad.
If you manage to stretch your arms, you're good.
In his case, his body follows his arm.
Do you want to give it a try?
Do you want to try it?
He's got no motor nerves. He's good at golf.
- I... - Please make the posture.
I used to play baseball.
Come on.
- You used to? - I was in children's baseball team.
Show us once!
- All right. - Children's baseball team.
I used to play baseball.
He's good. He's good.
(He proved himself.)
- He's very good. - But...
Play catch.
I don't do it because it doesn't suit my image.
Let's play catch.
Go.
- He receives well. - He's good.
Gosh!
You can't swear on TV!
Pitch well this time.
His pitching is unstable.
(He doesn't pitch well, )
(and he doesn't receive well either.)
How long have you been playing baseball?
- It's been a year. - A year!
You are really terrible.
He's even worse than me.
(Yeong Ja will show you!)
Let's try. I'm a girl, and I pitch better than you.
She pitches well.
(She catches perfectly.)
(Now it's fun to watch.)
Don't target this part. Do it again.
Don't target this part.
Pitch towards her torso.
- I will target the torso. - Please do.
(They are in perfect harmony.)
- She pitches well. - She pitches well.
Faster. You can do this.
(Wow)
(She can even control the speed.)
Why can't you do this?
(Her motor nerve always surprises us.)
She's good.
- I should take his job, shouldn't I? - Yes.
- He's good by the way. - He is good.
I don't think you need a year.
I don't like baseball much.
I'm scared of the baseball flying towards me.
(I'm too scared of the ball.)
- There're people like that? - He says this.
"Once you play baseball well, you can play anything."
"You can play badminton, volleyball and football."
But isn't it wrong to force him to do it?
It's not like I'm forcing him to drink.
- I'm making him work out more. - They all say that.
It's not like you made him smoke.
That's what I mean.
It's his chance to exercise...
and widen his network.
Right.
Like I said, baseball teaches you about life.
Have you become more sociable?
Did you get to meet a lot of people like he said?
I need to be good at playing baseball...
to build strong bonds with other people.
- You're not good enough. - Right.
When he pitches, he wants me to film him.
So I film the play, get water...
and fill the icebox with ice.
- When the games are in Seoul, - Yes.
I drive for him.
When we have both game and event,
I go to his house and...
get his two uniforms.
- He's not teaching you any work. - Yes.
Is there a reason why you're not leaving him?
I have no choice. I can't get away from him.
He married my sister in July.
He's your brother-in-law?
He's my brother-in-law.
- He's your family. - Yes. We're family now.
So you can't get away.
My sister recommended me to work with him.
Your sister introduced him to you.
She told me to work hard with him,
but he's only teaching me how to play baseball.
What would you have done if he wasn't your family?
I would've come up with excuses to quit.
I'm acting like his assistant.
Actually, if he weren't my brother-in-law,
I would've dumped him a long time ago.
- Because he's bad? - You would've done that?
- Yes. - Then that's good for both of you.
You could just leave each other.
No matter how much I teach him, he doesn't improve.
Then why do you keep teaching him?
I've been telling you why.
(They argue.)
Is that why?
I want to ask you a question.
You're in seven different teams.
But you're still newly weds.
Doesn't your wife say anything about this?
Even when we were dating,
when other couples were going on trips,
we spent most of our times at ball parks.
We fought a lot because of it.
We still fight because of it.
Let's hear from his wife.
Actually, I am even more frustrated than my brother.
- Of course. - It stresses me a lot.
- Of course. - You have to deal with him.
- He comes home totally wrecked. - Yes.
When he has a game,
he gets up around 4 or 5am.
When He comes home, it's afternoon.
So we can't do anything else.
He always looks tired.
Why do you play baseball so early?
There are people who work in the afternoon.
You play early and go to work?
The game starts around seven or eight.
I never knew people were so crazy about baseball.
- There are a lot of people. - It's not so serious...
because it's his brother-in-law who's like that.
If his wife sent the letter, she would've won.
Newly wed period is an important time in life.
You are right. My brother's worry is over baseball,
but it's not the end of the problem.
He goes to a lot of golf meet ups, too.
(He goes to a lot of golf meet ups, too.)
- He is obsessed with sports. - My goodness.
Why did he even get married?
- It must be upsetting. - I am very upset these days.
You are at the first base of your married life.
- That's right. - Why would you spend it this way?
You are so sharp, Ju Hwan.
(Ju Hwan is sharp.)
(Speechless)
- He is objective. - You told your brother-in-law...
he must build a solid foundation of his life.
The same logic should be applied...
to your married life.
- That's good. - Go, AlphaGo!
Baseball games don't always have a strong start.
- You change your words. - While we are newly wed,
the game has begun when we started dating.
Dating is a practice game.
It's a practice game.
If your wife thinks it's first base of married life,
you should respect her thoughts.
I tried to go to less number of baseball games...
- and golf meet ups. - Before we got married,
he made an attempt to cut back on sport meet ups.
He tried to appease me.
I did cut back.
- I used to go to more meet ups. - He did cut back,
but he still has 3 or 4 meet ups a week.
We have received a lot of worries of similar nature.
There was always a problem of money.
Such hobbies are expensive.
(That's right.)
- Sports equipment costs a lot. - You are right.
Golf meet ups can be quite expensive.
He must pay dues to seven baseball teams.
Transportation is expensive, too.
He comes to Seoul from Daegu for a baseball game.
He drives 8 hours to play baseball for 2 hours.
The gas alone will cost a lot.
If there is a baseball game in Seoul,
he comes to Seoul.
He lied to my sister a couple of times...
about going on a business trip.
(He lied about going on a business trip.)
(I am in trouble.)
(Honey, what is he talking about?)
He loads up equipment the day before.
- Did you just expose him? - Yes.
- You just exposed him. - Your sister didn't know.
No, she didn't.
(It was a very casual exposure.)
I am going to break free.
- I won't play baseball. - Your sister needs to know.
I am going to break free.
How much does your hobby cost?
It costs 5,000 or 6,000 dollars a year.
- I bet it costs more. - I bet it does.
As for membership dues,
I am exempt from three teams since I am a good player.
- No, it costs more. - That's good.
Keep it up.
Add up equipment cost and membership fees.
I think he uses 8,000 to 10,000 dollars a year.
I have watched him over the years.
Well...
(Glancing)
Okay. Okay.
His face is getting red.
You must be a bit upset at your brother-in-law.
Later, I will...
(Later, I will...)
(Let's go home separately.)
"Later, I will..."
(We need to talk later.)
At first, I didn't think it was a serious worry.
I thought it was a matter between two men.
I thought, "He can always refuse."
Now, I think Dong Wook partly came for your sister.
- Yes. - It's nice.
It's a big problem since they had just gotten married.
It can fester and ruin the marriage.
(We hope she will take a load off her mind.)
Do you have a hobby?
No, I don't play sports.
- Do you always stay at home then? - Yes.
It felt a bit embarrassing...
to send a worry myself.
- You are a newly wed. - I had to be cautious.
The idea never crossed my mind.
I didn't know it was a big worry for my brother.
- The situation affects him, too. - Thanks to him,
you could talk about your worry.
I am sure this day will help in the long run.
- Doesn't your heart feel lighter? - It does.
I want him to further cut back on meet ups.
- Be specific in your request. - Face him.
- How many meet ups a week? - Face him.
- I would be okay...
(I won't ask too much of you.)
with 2 meet ups a week if 1 is too much.
- Two meet ups a week. - Yes.
- She is generous. - He is in a lot of teams.
- Two meet ups a week? - That's nice.
- Yes. - What about golf?
I hope he would play golf once a month.
He must be good at baseball and golf.
He is in many teams and doesn't pay membership fees.
Do you gain confidence from playing sports?
Yes. When I first started playing baseball,
I couldn't throw my ball straight in this distance.
The ball would fall like this.
Baseball lessons improved my techniques.
When I became batter at it,
my colleagues told me that sports changed me...
and gave me confidence.
That's when I started to earn more, too.
(I understand that baseball is important to you, )
(but I don't want to be dragged to games.)
What do you want to accomplish by coming here?
I want to follow him only for work.
- Only for work? - Yes.
I want to be freed from...
sports and baseball games.
I want to spend free time as I would like.
That's what I want.
Would you accept...
his request?
It's not easy to host at an event.
Learning process is hard.
If he cannot overcome baseball,
"If he cannot overcome baseball..."
he won't go far as a host for events.
If he wants, he should quit both baseball and work.
Baseball and work go hand in hand.
He is sulking because I spilled to my sister.
- Is he sulking? - Yes.
- Does he sulk often? - Yes.
He sulks very often.
He hurt my feelings.
(He hurt my feelings.)
Will he be in trouble after the shoot?
Probably.
(Probably)
(Focus on my worry.)
- This is funny. - Let's start with Jin Young.
Do you think it's a worry?
It's not much of a worry for Dong Wook,
but a big worry for his sister.
I think it's a worry.
It's nice to teach baseball with good intentions,
but he shouldn't decide what is necessary or not.
- I don't think it's a worry. - You don't?
It's a problem if it has gone on for 5 or 10 years,
but there is a room for change.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up.
Please say what you want to your brother-in-law.
I want to make you...
a great host.
Qualities such as concentration can be taught...
with baseball.
I hope you wouldn't be upset and play baseball with me.
(I hope you would play baseball with me.)
He didn't think much about Dong Wook's worry.
I have a feeling he will continue playing baseball.
(He will continue playing baseball.)
Show us the result.
(The result)
Will it be over 100? It is over 100.
That's incredible.
(Will the winner be replaced?)
- It's 118. - 118.
(Eliminated)
(The previous worry survived.)
This woman's worry involves an overly passionate love.
Hello, I am housewife in my 30s who lives in Yeongju.
I hear that other men stay way from home...
in order to drink and meet up with friends.
My husband comes straight home after work.
However, I spend my time alone.
My husband is head over heels in love.
"How incredible!"
"Look at how sleek they are."
"You complete my life. I love you."
I never thought I would be jealous of Gundam models.
We have had a similar worry.
- He loves Gundam models. - This is nothing new.
He works on Gundam models all night.
"Honey, wake up. You need to go to work."
"I didn't sleep a wink last night."
"This is so annoying. Don't wake me."
He gets mad at me.
"Dad, can my friends come over today?"
"No! Gundam models need to be protected."
"Don't even think about bringing friends."
He spends hundreds of dollars on Gundam models.
"Honey, shall we order fried chicken?"
"No! We must cut our living expenses."
- "Save money." - He won't even order fried chicken.
"May I buy clothes I saw on the internet?"
"No!"
"What about children's clothes?" "No!"
"No!"
(No, no, no!)
I cannot live like this.
Honey, choose between me and Gundam models.
(Honey, choose between me and Gundam models.)
We have had people who are obsessed with Gundam models.
What do you think about the worry?
My brother used to be obsessed with Gundam models.
He studied abroad in China.
Since he lived away, my parents gave him...
big allowances.
I went to China to see my brother.
He had DVDs...
and 20 Gundam models.
I could see that he was living luxuriously.
I was so angry.
I brought them from China and sold them online.
I did that while he was in the army.
Didn't you get scolded?
It was my revenge.
- I sold them. - Did you give the money to your mum?
- I used the money. - I knew it.
It was a revenge.
Let's see who sent us the worry. Please come on out.
(It's time to see the person who went the worry.)
(Who is upset about her plastic model-loving husband?)
(Lee Hye Jin)
(Welcome)
When did he start collecting Gundam models?
It started about two years ago.
He now has about 100 Gundam models.
(He bought 100 Gundam models.)
That's how many he has.
It reached a point where...
his life is literally dominated by them.
- Even when we go on vacation... - You should go.
- There was a Gundam expo. - Is there a such thing?
Yes. It's filled with people like him.
(It's filled with Gundam enthusiasts.)
- "People like him." - Yes.
- People like your husband, right? - Yes.
He goes to make his Gundam models right after work.
He has a tablet PC, and there's a broadcast...
that shows how certain models are assembled.
He builds the models as he's watching...
the show. - I didn't know such show existed.
- We have a display case at home. - I see.
When he's all quiet, I look for him...
and find him changing each Gundam's pose.
It honestly looks so ridiculous from behind.
- What's so special about Gundam models? - Goodness.
Look at those Gundam models. I must say they look cool.
It looks like a shop.
(Welcome to a Gundam model shop.)
- It really looks like a store. - It's cool.
- He assembled all those, right? - Yes, of course.
- But... Oh, my. - Look at that.
Gosh, that looks so cool.
He did such a great job.
How much does it cost to buy all those models?
I'm actually not the one who manages our money.
- My husband does it. - He manages all the finances.
I don't know the exact amount,
but I think it should be around 5,000 to 6,000 dollars.
I think it should be more than that.
- I agree. - But...
we've seen cases where husbands start managing...
the finances because their wives didn't do a good job.
- Did you use to do the job? - Tell us.
I got married pretty early.
- I wasn't good at it, - From the get go.
- so he started... - How old were you?
I got married when I was 21 years old.
- At the age of 21. - That is early.
It sounds like he's quite older than you.
He's four years older than me.
- The age gap isn't that big. - No.
A 25-year-old wouldn't really know how to manage money.
- That's right. - He was better than me, though.
My blood was boiling when I was listening to the story.
- Why? - He didn't buy you fried chicken.
When I say I want to eat it, he says,
"We need to move to a better house."
- "Let's save money." - Chicken isn't even expensive.
It's not like you can save a lot of money like that.
You should've told him the same thing.
- "Stop buying Gundam models." - "We have to move."
I find it exhausting to talk to him.
I nag him and say things like,
"You should stop being so obsessed."
Then he says, "Okay."
After that, we'd get another delivery of his models.
Then I nag him again.
"We can buy this and that with this money."
- Then he agrees and apologises. - "I'm sorry."
But you get another delivery after that.
Yes, exactly.
- Gosh, seriously. - Sell them secretly.
I'll give you the phone number of someone I know.
(I'll introduce you to someone I know.)
I still have his number.
Let's meet her husband first. Hello, nice to meet you.
- Hello. - Hello.
(Who's the husband obsessed with Gundam models?)
Tell us. Do you love Gundam that much?
Don't all men love...
Gundam as much as I do?
- No. - Not at all.
That's not true.
As you know, all the parts are so small.
When I finish assembling all the parts,
I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
- Women... - I do admit that it looks very cool.
Thank you. Women display their purses...
in their dress rooms and admire them. I also...
admire my models in the same way.
Then buy her several purses.
- That's a little too... - Be fair.
Right. You should be fair. She should...
also get to display her purses.
I already spend a lot of money...
You're so self-centred.
Everyone in the audience was wondering this.
How much money have you spent on all of your models?
As she said earlier, I've spent about 6,000 dollars.
- No way. - We don't believe you.
- You have 3 500 dollars models. - I've bought models.
You have four limited edition ones.
- You own about 100 models in total. - Exactly.
- I'd like to keep it as a secret. - 100 models...
- He can't say it. - If that's the case...
This is one big bill, okay?
- Oh, okay. - Give me a ballpark figure.
(About this much?)
(He grimaces a little.)
(It's our secret.)
- It's 20,000 dollars! - Goodness!
(It's 20,000 dollars!)
(I'm doomed.)
You're ruining our credibility here.
I wanted to keep it a secret.
- You refuse to buy her fried chicken... - Yes.
When you buy everything you want...
and tell her to save money.
Yes. I run a shop,
but we only make a limited amount of money.
- What kind of shop is it? - We sell pizza.
- It's a pizza restaurant. - I spend quite a bit.
I'll be stressed out if she also spends money.
(I'll be stressed out.)
- Then spend less. - You should spend less.
Spend less and let your wife buy things, too.
I mean, you don't even buy her fried chicken.
It's not like I don't give her any spending money.
I give her allowance every 2 to 3 months.
- Really? - How much do you give her?
About 500 dollars.
But it's actually worse than not giving anything.
He gives me cash in an envelope.
- Then I get a text. - What does he say?
He sends screenshots and says, "Isn't this cool?"
He keeps texting me until I buy it for him.
- And you buy it with that money? - Yes.
- With your spending money? - That is crazy!
- With the 500 dollars? - That's right.
Seriously?
He's not saying he'd buy it with his money.
- He asks you to... - Yes. He wants me to get it.
You can just say no.
- But he keeps texting me. - My goodness.
- Does he... - Unbelievable.
Ju Hwan, what's the matter? Are you shocked?
Does he justify that by saying he's your husband?
- He gives you money... - He wants to take credit.
- Yes.
- Ju Hwan is angry. - Yes.
- Ju Hwan is furious now. - Sir, how can you do that?
It was our anniversary,
and we both worked hard. I deserve a gift, too.
Right, but why from that money?
It basically means that you had an agenda.
You schemed to get your hands on the Gundam model.
Have you ever told him that you'd throw them all out?
Yes, when he upsets me or gets on my nerves.
- We live on the fourth floor. - "I'll dump them!"
Yes. I tell him that I'd throw them out the window.
Horns are the most important part of Gundam models.
- They all have horns right here. - I see.
He knows that I'm mad when I say I'll chop them.
When do you feel the urge to chop the horns?
My daughter is nine years old.
Once, she was playing with a ball at home...
- and hit the display case with it. - Kids do that.
About 5 or 6 models fell and got disassembled.
My daughter got so worried when she saw that.
- She was worried about upsetting her dad. - Yes.
- That made me sad. - I see.
Let's talk to the daughter. Hi!
Hello. I'm Ahn Si Yoon, and I'm nine years old.
- Hi, Si Yoon! - Nice to meet you.
Do you think your dad likes Gundam more than you?
- Be honest. - Tell us honestly.
I'm not sure.
- She's not sure. - Do you think it's on par,
or do you think he likes Gundam more?
- About the same. - About the same?
It must make you feel angry. Gundam isn't your brother.
- A little. - Just a little?
How did you feel when he didn't let you...
bring your friend home?
I was a little upset.
- You were upset. - You wanted to bring your friend.
It looks like tears are welling up in your eyes.
- Are you upset now? - Really?
No.
No?
- Why do you feel that way? - I'm embarrassed.
(Today's show isn't easy.)
Why do you think that your dad likes Gundam...
as much as he likes you?
Tell us what made you feel that way.
When I ask Dad to play with me when he is working...
on his models, he tells me to watch TV or play alone.
(He makes her feel as though she's being a nuisance.)
What's the one thing you want to do with him the most?
- With your dad. - I just want to have fun with him.
She just wants to spend time with him.
Smashing those models with your dad would be so fun.
- Throw them like this. - Cut all those horns.
You must have a background photo on your phone.
Is it an image of Gundam?
- It is at the moment. - My goodness.
- Not a photo of your daughter? - What about her?
I keep changing it between photos of her and Gundam.
Ju Hwan, whose photo is your background image?
- Me? - Yes. Whose photo is it?
- On your phone. - A comic book character.
Which one?
- A lead character from "Vagabond". - I see.
I have a photo of Robert Daniel Jr.
- Come again? - Robert who?
- Robert Downey Jr. - Robert Daniel Henney?
- From "Iron Man". - That's right.
(My name is Robert Downey Jr.)
He's my ideal type.
- What about you, Dong Yeob? - Robert Downey Jr.
He's like a combination of three men.
What photo do you have? You're married.
- I just kept the default image. - The basic one.
- How about you, Chan Woo? - Me, too.
- Nothing? - Just the default image.
- What about you, Tae Gyun? - A photo of me.
- He loves himself. - I do.
He loves himself a lot.
- It's always a photo of me. - You, Tae Joon?
I just kept the default image, too.
I see. How about you, Jin Young?
I also have a photo of me.
- That is funny. - We love ourselves!
- Mine is a photo of Robert Downey Jr. - Right.
Anyway, he brought his Gundam models here.
Let's see how sleek these models actually look.
- Oh, my. - They're bringing them up now.
(It's the husband's Gundam collection!)
- My gosh. - They look very expensive.
They must've cost a lot.
- How much does this cost? - Look at that big one.
(The husband cherishes these as dearly as his life.)
It's like the show, "Genuine Article, Masterpiece".
You can stand right here.
Please tells us about these models.
- This pal right here... - "This pal"?
- Yes. - He must be your close friend.
- Yes, he's my dear friend. - I see.
I had to pester my wife to get this for last Christmas.
How much was it?
(She bought it with her allowance!)
- This is limited edition. - About four bills.
- 400 dollars? - Yes.
- The light turns on, too. - Light?
(He's showing off.)
- Light? - Where?
If you see here...
(Where's the light?)
- It's so well made. - Where?
The light in his eyes turns on.
- Oh, yes. I see it. - Yes.
- In his eyes? - That light is phenomenal.
(He's cute.)
If you press the button once more...
- The light on its body turns on. - That's right.
- That's so cool. - What else?
It took me a full week to finish assembling this.
- One week? - Four hours every day.
You worked on it for four hours every day?
So this horn is the most important part.
Yes. My wife keeps saying she'll throw it in a blender.
- A blender? - Seriously?
I'll rip it to pieces.
- It'll be irrecoverable. - This looks expensive too.
This fellow here is the most expensive model I own.
- Is it? - Is this the most expensive one?
The inside is made of super alloys.
- It's sold as a completed model. - Right.
How much is this, then? 500?
- 500 dollars? - Yes, it's around there.
- 500 dollars. - This costs 500 dollars?
- I used to own a plastic version. - Oh, yes.
I also own two plastic models of this.
- The sky blue one, right? - You have more?
This one looks very pricey.
- Am I wrong? - This one is from part-timers.
They bought me this model as a birthday gift.
- It was a birthday gift. - You asked them to buy it.
You asked the part-timers of the pizza restaurant.
- I messaged them. - You gave them pay cheque...
and said, "Buy me a Gundam model."
He pressured them into buying him a model.
Is this the one you cherish the most?
No, the one I cherish the most...
- is this. - Why is that?
- This one is metallic, too. - The coating is.
My brother-in-law recently went to the army.
He worked part-time to buy me this...
before he went.
I can't believe he worked part-time to buy you this.
Everyone is making sacrifices for his hobby.
Blood and sweat went into these models.
That's why I cherish this model the best.
My goodness.
(Do you not cherish us?)
(This is ridiculous.)
It's okay to like Gundam models,
but you seem to put your hobby before the others.
- I married at the age of 25. - You married early.
I realised that I hadn't accomplished anything in life.
When you listen to old songs,
- you reminisce about the past. - That's right.
When I look at a Gundam model,
it brings me memories about my family...
and my past actions.
Do Gundam models bring back memories?
I remember what happened when I made it.
(He is so carefree.)
Your wife married at the age of 21.
She was even younger than you were.
How did you feel back then?
I was very scared.
I had no one to lean on.
When I was 17 years old,
my fathered passed away in an accident.
- My mum raised three children. - That's hard.
Since her oldest daughter got married...
at a very young age because of a child,
my mum was very upset.
- She cried a lot. - She leaned on you.
She was very shocked.
While my friends dressed up and carried pretty bags,
I had to carry a diaper bag.
- It felt like I had lost myself. - I see.
People enjoy their lives at that age.
You didn't plan on marrying young, did you?
No, it just happened that way.
(She is upset at her immature husband.)
A friend she has known...
for a long time is here. Hello.
Hello.
My name is Jung Yu Ran and I am from Yeongju.
- Welcome. - How do you know Hye Jin?
(How does she know Hye Jin?)
I have known her for a long time.
- I am younger. - Did you know about her worry?
Before her husband got into Gundam models,
he was into car tuning.
(He was obsessed with car tuning.)
Car tuning?
Gundam model isn't his only obsession.
That's a problem.
Car tuning costs a lot of money.
He asked Hye Jin to help him.
She had to work on the car under the scorching sun.
I thought it was too much.
Hye Jin is too nice. Why does she do those things?
Does your husband have other hobbies?
When our daughter turned three,
he became obsessed with soccer.
(He became obsessed with soccer.)
He would play soccer 4 or 5 times a week...
and come home late at night.
One time, I was very sick.
I begged him to skip the soccer game...
and come home early.
He ended up going to the soccer game.
- He did that when you were sick. - Yes.
He was obsessed with mobile phone games for a year.
- It costs a lot of money. - He played day and night.
He even held his phone during meals.
When we asked you how you got into Gundam models,
you said that you married too young and felt empty.
You said that Gundam models bring back memories.
- Yes. - Then why did you get into football...
after marriage?
It was for part-timers' membership training.
Then why did you get into car tuning?
I couldn't help but become greedy.
- What about mobile phone games? - They are fun.
She should have had a public execution.
She should have tossed one out the window.
- I can't believe he is still smiling. - I know.
Your husband does everything he wants to do.
Do you have a hobby or things you want to collect?
I have always dreamt...
- of learning dance with my husband. - That's nice.
I want to take cooking classes, too.
I have many things I want to do.
However, my husband argued that such hobbies...
- are useless. - Gundam models are useless.
He didn't approve.
I recently bought two dolls.
There are beautiful shoes for those dolls...
which cost about 30 dollars.
I asked my husband if I may buy them.
He complained that they are too expensive.
You spend money on Gundam models.
I can't believe such small shoes cost 30 dollars.
It has nothing to do with the size.
Since I spend a lot of money, my wife shouldn't.
What are you saying? That doesn't make any sense.
Hye Jin should smash the LED Gundam model.
Did you know that your wife felt lonely and left out...
because she married young?
I want to let my wife do what she wants...
later in life.
When? When she is 72 years old?
You work with him every day, right?
- That's right. - However, you don't get paid.
- No. - He gives her 500 dollars every 3 months,
- but takes them later. - He handles the money alone.
She doesn't even get living expenses.
Yet he asks her to buy Gundam model for him.
His smile doesn't change that he is selfish.
That's right.
There was a time she wanted to follow her dream.
- However, it didn't work out. - What was your dream?
- I studied makeup.
Ever since I was in middle school,
I wanted to become a makeup artist.
That's why I studied it.
However, I got married before I found a job.
Then you had a child.
I realised that my child is more important...
- and gave up on my dream. - She is truly a mother.
One time, I got an opportunity at a job.
My daughter got sick the day I started to work.
She had to be hospitalised.
I realised that I should give up on my dream...
- since I am a mother. - You gave up.
(I should give up on my dream.)
"I should give up on my dream."
That's the thought I had.
- It was sad. - Raising a child requires sacrifices.
The situation has changed.
So that Hye Jin can work towards her dream,
would you allow her time and money?
I want to allow her that,
but we have a pizza restaurant to run.
It needs to wait until our child enters high school.
Hye Jin is good at her job.
- She is good at her job. - Last May,
she was voted the best employee in the nation.
She is a talented employee and I can't lose her.
You can't lose her.
(She is his wife, not an employee.)
- My goodness. - Hire another employee.
Your wife can work elsewhere and make money.
You do whatever you want without restrictions.
However, you don't mind putting off your wife's wishes.
I am not putting them off.
I worked hard without rest, too.
Your wife worked with you.
Your wife is the best employee in the nation.
She is the best.
You are only a regular employee.
(You are only a regular employee.)
You still got to buy Gundam models.
- Yes. - You do everything you want.
Don't you feel bad for your wife?
I do feel bad.
She struggled a lot from the start.
My wish to treat her well doesn't lead to an action.
How did she struggle at the start?
At January 1st,
she got kicked out from her house.
She moved into my house. We soon rented a room.
Does she meet up with her family these days?
Yes. I have something to say.
My bother-in-law is a football player.
That's how I got into football.
I got into models because my youngest brother-in-law.
What a nonsense!
Are you using your in-laws as an excuse?
You treat your brother-in-law nicely.
Why don't you treat your wife nicely?
I treat my in-laws nicely because I love my wife.
Your wife says she feels lonely.
His words are so annoying.
(He is so annoying.)
You said that he is infuriating.
He really is. He plasters that smile on his face...
- He is like that. - and says what he wants.
I bet you don't usually say what's on your mind.
Say what's on your mind to your husband.
My husband never does...
what he doesn't want to do.
When we go out to eat, he tells me...
to choose the menu.
If I tell him that I want pasta,
he goes, "Pasta?"
That means he doesn't want it.
- Why does he make you choose? - I know.
I tell him that he is only trying to be nice.
(Her husband's attitude frustrates her.)
It must be hard.
All right. We have listened to her worry.
What does everyone think?
I think it's a worry.
She struggled a lot. Her husband needs to change.
I think it's a worry.
He says his hobbies are repayment of his lost time.
He needs to invest in happiness and well being...
of his wife and daughter.
I also think it's a worry.
(Jin Young thinks it's a worry.)
The problem is not limited to Gundam models.
What Hye Jin said at the end is true.
He is only trying to be nice.
It's like expressing anger in a roundabout way.
"Please don't go to a football game this week."
"Okay." Then he goes.
It can be more infuriating than expression of anger.
You have heard Hye Jin's worry.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
Press the button.
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
- Stop. - Stop.
I'm sure you felt something today.
Is there anything you want to say to your wife?
Hye Jin,
when we first began our marriage,
you wanted a two doors refrigerator,
but we couldn't afford one.
But now we can buy it.
I will work harder and save more...
so that we can be better off. I love you.
I wonder how many people voted for them.
Let's see how many votes they got.
(The result)
They got more than 100 votes.
(Will they beat the winner with 161 votes?)
- Will it be 161? - I'm nervous.
Good job.
"I'm Not Your Mother" became the new winner!
Congratulations!
We will give you a 1,000 dollars gift certificate.
Until the day we are all worry free...
Hello will continue to counsel you.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
(Hello will always root for you!)
