This is Hello, the National Competition on Issues.
Hello.
For some reason, today's atmosphere feels so bright.
- You're the only one who looks happy. - Yes.
We have Cho-rong and Nam-joo from Apink.
(Cho-rong and Nam-joo from Apink)
And Moon-byul and Whee-in from Mamamoo.
- Yes. - Today,
- I'm so... - I really am getting irritated.
I laughed so hard this morning.
Normally, when there are guest celebrities,
Yeong-ja always tells them to do their best and help them out before the show.
But she told Mamamoo, Whee-in and Moon-byul...
"Do your best. Don't let Mamamoo beat you. You can do it!"
- She did that, right? - Yes.
She just barged in and told them not to let Mamamoo beat them.
These two were too nice. They went along, nodding their heads.
- Let's move on. - All right.
- You both made a comeback. - Yes.
What's the concept?
- Our concept is a mature first love. - Mature first love.
I see. It's about first love. What about Mamamoo?
- Our concept is to just play around. - Play around?
Let's hear it, then. Let's hear it.
("Only One" by Apink)
(The sweet charms of the youths of today)
(Bright and beautiful pink)
(Bright-eyed)
(So that everyone who hears this song...)
(can feel the excitement.)
(Apink's the love)
- Mamamoo, it's your turn. - Let's do it.
And Tae-joon can end it for us.
("New York" by Mamamoo)
(Mamamoo is the best)
(Their groove is explosive.)
(#New York #newyork #Groovy)
(You can always count on Mamamoo.)
The last person is Tae-joon.
(That was awesome.)
Recently, there was a buzz over how you'd make someone look good.
- Make someone else look good? - Yes.
- Can you do that for Yeong-ja? - Let's do it.
- Try it together with Apink. - Really?
Try doing it for her.
If you do it really well, I think I can finally get married.
It won't work unless you do your best.
- Make sure you try your best. - Do it properly.
- All right, let's do this. - Ready.
- This is the first one. - In 1, 2, 3.
(The sacrifice of the girl group.)
Now, this is the second one. Click.
(Let's just do it!)
- Let's try the third one. - In 1, 2, 3.
(Until the last shot)
- This is sad. - Did I look good?
Did I?
Why do I feel like all five people are making ugly faces?
Last week, "Why are You Living with Me?" won again.
Did anything change after appearing on TV?
Before, he would always...
just insist on making a baby.
But now, he takes out the food waste...
- and helps me clean the bathroom. - Really?
(He improved.)
During the holidays, I was scolded by...
everyone in the family.
(Chuseok gift set he got from the family was a scolding.)
These days, I go home earlier...
so we can make a baby. I play with the kids...
hoping they will tell her what a good father...
- I am. - Look at her expression.
Let's see if this issue is able to win for the third time. The winner...
We will give the winner a 1,000-dollar gift certificate.
"Is Life Supposed to be This Way?"
Hello. I just couldn't endure it anymore.
I'm a sixth grader.
- She's so cute. - I couldn't endure it anymore.
After school, when I'm about to eat some tteokbokki with my friends,
my mom calls.
Su-bin, school already ended. Why aren't you home, yet?
Hurry up and look after the twins.
I have to feed the twins...
- and change their diapers. - Oh, no.
And I have to hold them in my arms for almost 40 minutes to put them to sleep,
my arms hurt so much that I think they might fall off.
While I'm doing that, do you know what my little brother and dad do?
"Whatever! I'm going to play my game."
"You look after the twins."
My dad says...
"Hey, Su-bin! The kids spilled some water."
"Hurry up and clean it up already."
"Dad, I'm in the middle of washing dishes."
- "Hey, don't you see I'm busy resting here?" - Busy resting?
- Busy? - "I'm very busy resting."
"Just clean that up. I'm tired."
Because I'm busy taking care of the twins all day,
- I end up finishing my homework at midnight. - Oh, no.
My family doesn't think of me as their daughter rather I'm a babysitting machine.
Please help me find some freedom.
I started looking after my siblings when I was nine years old.
- You looked after the babies? - Yes, I can relate.
- How was it? - I used to do the same things. Feed her, change her diapers...
I never had time for myself.
Even when I was out meeting friends, I had to take the her along.
Are you very close with your sister?
I'm the only one who's fond of her. After everything I did for her...
That's how a mother feels.
Me, too. My younger sister is 12 years younger than me.
- What's wrong with everyone today? - She's the youngest in our family.
I raised her. I thought I was the mother.
But I had another younger sister. She would help me take care of our baby sister.
So I was able to manage it somehow.
She must have had enough to send in her issue.
Let's welcome her in with a warm round of applause.
(Who's the sixth grader, exhausted from taking care of the baby?)
(Oh, no.)
(Park Su-bin)
(With those thin arms)
- She's so thin. - She really is.
- She's still a baby. - She's so young.
Can you introduce yourself?
- It's nerve-wrecking, isn't it? - Don't worry, it's okay.
Hello. I'm from Jeonbuk, Iksan.
I'm in sixth grade. My name is Park Su-bin.
Hello, Su-bin.
When did you start looking after the twins? Since their birth?
I started when they were 100 days old.
That's the same as looking after them ever since their birth.
How do you look after them? What do you do?
I just change their diapers,
play with them, and put them to sleep.
You help them to sleep. Do you also feed them?
- Yes. - She's only 13 years old.
What's the toughest thing about looking after them?
Mom holds one twin...
and I hold the other twin.
We hold them for about 40 minutes.
(Her stuttering voice is suppressing something.)
- My arms hurts... - Oh, my...
- My arms hurts... - Oh my, for 40 minutes?
Even when you hold them for 20 minutes,
- your arms start to hurt. - Even adults have a hard time.
It must have been so tough. She's about to cry.
Not only is she very nervous...
- but think of how many things she had to keep bottled up inside her. - Yes.
We'll listen to everything you say. So tell us everything.
- We're on your side, Su-bin. - That's right.
Should I hold you in my arms for 40 minutes?
(That sounds good.)
I'm sorry.
- Great. - I'm sorry.
What else is hard about looking after the twins?
Well, you have to feed the babies their formula early in the morning, right?
- You do that? What about your mother? - It's because there's two babies.
Shouldn't the father do that?
What time do you feed them? At 2am? 3am?
- Around 3am to 4am. - 3am to 4am?
Isn't 4am the time for your growth hormones to kick in?
You should be dreaming about falling off a cliff, and be getting taller.
Ever since we started this show, those twins over there...
- in front of us have been looking at Su-bin... - So cute.
Which one of them do you look after the most?
- They look alike. - It's Hyo-bin.
- Which one is Hyo-bin? - She's on the left.
- Who's the other? - She's Yu-bin.
- Say hello to them. - Try saying hello.
Hello.
(Grins)
(Heart-stopping Smile)
- That's Hyo-bin. - Wow.
Let's meet their parents.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
Did you know your daughter had these issues?
She started crying as she came out.
- It must have been really hard for her. - I knew to some extent...
but it was overwhelming for me to take care of the twins all by myself.
So I ended up depending on her.
- What about your husband? - Why didn't you depend on your husband?
I don't understand how you can wake your daughter up and not your husband.
Take your turns asking questions. Are you twins?
(Hello Big-headed Twins)
- Are you big-headed twins? - But logically, it doesn't make sense.
Normally, this is the father's job.
I don't understand how you can push his responsibility unto your daughter.
We used to fight a lot about that after I gave birth to the twins.
My husband loves to sleep.
- Su-bin would love to sleep as well. - She should sleep a lot.
But when I yell at him to wake up,
Su-bin wakes up.
And because I needed someone fast,
I somehow ended up asking her to do it and somehow it just continued like this.
Does your husband do manual labor or something?
He works with electricity.
He works every other day and rest every other day.
- I go to work at 7am and come home around 7am the next day. - Wow.
- That's tough. - That's why...
I'm always exhausted.
- So, for 24 hours, you don't sleep? - No, I don't work all 24 hours.
- I sleep during the night. - What?
- What did you say? - What are you saying?
- You just say you worked 24 hours. - You don't work 24 hours.
How long do you sleep?
I sleep around 5 hours during the night.
So in those 24 hours, you sleep for 5 hours...
- and the next day, you rest the whole day? - Yes.
And you're still exhausted?
I usually just leave him to sleep in the morning.
After he wakes up from his nap, it's usually time for the twins to come back.
He's supposed to play with them, but he watches them, lying down.
- You asked him to watch after you kids... - All he does is watch them?
(That's too much!)
Well, we can't help it if he's always sleepy...
but what about that time when the twins spilled water in front of you.
You knew what Su-bin was doing when it happened, didn't you?
At that time, I was still a little tired.
You were still tired so that's why you couldn't wipe the water on the floor?
Are you saying you couldn't do it because you sleep a lot?
Do you collapse when you do?
As you said, looking after a child for 5 or even 10 minutes is very hard,
and Su-bin does this for the whole day.
So, do you have to ask her to wipe the water off the floor as well?
Well...
(Good job, Tae-joon.)
(Proud)
- Well... - Do you have to ask her to wipe the water off the floor as well?
(Let's just say I said it first.)
(As expected of Dong-yeob)
Why don't you help to take care of the twins?
I do help out a lot in my own way.
- When I fall asleep, I can't get up. - Isn't it rather, you don't get up?
That's not it.
- Okay, so it's not that you can't get up. - Sir, you said...
that you do help out, so could you lift one of the twins up?
- Right, is that Yu-bin? - There's one twin who is standing.
(What?)
If she starts crying in his arms, then we'll know it's a lie.
- If she cries. - She's cute.
- Ask her to come to you. - Hug her.
- The baby isn't happy. - Stand up and lift her. Go to your dad.
The dad should be doing it and we'll stop when she doesn't.
Stand up and lift her.
- Stand up and lift her. - Gosh.
- Stand up and do it. - Oh, my.
(This is making the audience uncomfortable.)
Come here Su-bin. Show us how you do it.
Let's go.
(Yeong-ja was in a rush.)
Why did you do that?
(Oh, my. I'm sorry.)
(Did you hit my sister?)
I came off as a mean person, right?
Su-bin, are you okay?
You have the right to call an attorney.
We're curious. Let the dad lift up one of the children as well.
- Hand her to Su-bin. - She comes with her arms stretched out.
- Su-bin holds her differently. - Let's compare the two.
- Su-bin seems to do it better. - She's good.
- The baby likes her, that's why she has her arms around Su-bin - Right.
Goodness. Look at how well Su-bin holds her.
Yeong-ja, could you hold her?
- She's good. - Who is a pretty girl?
- It feels different, right? - She's heavy.
(Come here)
(Ignoring)
(If it's not Su-bin, I don't want a hug.)
- She's good. - She doesn't want to let go.
It's really different when Su-bin holds her.
When Su-bin was younger, I'm sure her dad lifted her up a lot, right?
At that time, I only had one daughter...
so her mother could raise her without my help.
- Her mother did everything. - Didn't you help even though it was your first child?
I have never helped out.
- Not even once? - Yes.
You weren't interested in raising a child from early on.
If I try to get closer,
the kids kick me and they don't react when I hug them.
- I feel neglected by them. - That's because...
they are not used to it. If you had done that from the start,
the kids might only want to be hugged by you.
Su-bin came out with an issue today. Do you understand her worry?
- From her side, I do understand. - Okay.
I don't think it's an issue that is a concern.
Normally, in a family the man...
is the breadwinner.
Hold on.
I'm sorry but we can hear you cursing. You can't do that.
The people today don't have any manners.
Did you hear? Of course,
we understand that you can be tired after working.
But since they are your daughters, I'm sure you want to hug them.
They are so cute, I don't think I would leave the house.
I do worry about them.
When you look at men's tendencies,
we only like looking after kids for about 5 to 10 minutes.
- After that, men don't like it. - Are you saying this is because you're a man?
- Most men... - Who are these men?
When you ask the men in my hometown...
- Your hometown? - Yes.
- Where are you from? - They'll curse you.
It doesn't matter where you're from. That person over there is the same as you.
Well, then...
The person over there is the same as you.
You two should talk later.
Don't you want the twins to like you?
(Well)
I want them to like Su-bin.
Because it's too much work?
(You're a dad, why are you like this?)
What I'm curious about is...
whether he asks how your day was...
or if he shows you affection.
No.
He's a brusque person.
A dad and daughter can feel awkward being around each other when they're young...
but is he close with his son?
Shall we ask the son?
Does he play with you a lot?
- Does he play with you a lot? - No.
(He answers in 0.5 seconds.)
- That was decisive. - What does your dad do at home?
He just lies down.
Is he a critically ill patient?
Why didn't you help your sister take care of the twins?
- I was playing games. - What?
- He was playing games. - I see. He was playing games.
When I come to her after the game is over,
she's already putting the twins to sleep.
She's already done everything.
Apart from looking after the twins like Yu-bin,
does she do other work as well?
I also do a little housework.
Even after I do all of that, my dad...
asks me to give him a massage.
Oh, my.
When I grabbed he before and walked, she fell over.
You ask her to give you a massage with these tiny hands?
- She's kind-hearted. - Did you do this every day?
- I won't get pocket money if I don't. - Haven't you ever said no?
You won't get pocket money? What do you mean?
When I give him a massage, he gives me a little pocket money.
How much does he give you?
He first paid me 20 cents.
- He first paid me 20 cents. - What?
- How much? - Sir!
- Sir! - How could you do that!
How could you only pay her 20 cents?
That's too harsh!
Everything has gotten more expensive. What can she do with 20 cents?
- Is a whole body massage 50 cents? - Is an aroma massage 1 dollar?
It started off at 20 cents,
- One foot massage is 10 cents. - A foot massage for 10 cents.
To be honest, we could be misunderstanding this.
How good of a masseuse could she be?
He probably likes it because it's his daughter.
He wants to use this chance to get closer with his daughter.
I don't think that's it.
Is she really good?
Yes, she is good.
- Does she use her elbow like this? - Yes, she does do that.
- She does? - Why do you only pay her 20 cents?
- Does she do things like this? - Yes.
Yes, she does.
Do you do things like this?
Yes, she does all of that.
Can you show me what you do?
How do you do it to get him to keep asking you to do it?
- From our point of view... - Her hands...
(She has a strong grip.)
She's good.
(Yeong-ja has lied down.)
- Show me how you'd do it. - Show us.
She knows where to do it.
- She's good. - Gosh.
- She's really good. - Look at her hands.
- The fingers are pushing in. - If she does it like that,
she's really good.
- She's really good. - She's not a beginner.
(A high-class technique)
- Dig in your elbow here. - I'm just curious could you do my shoulders?
Seriously. I'm curious.
- She has talent. - Bring me 10 dollars.
- I thought she'd be weak... - She's not.
- She's strong. - She's good.
I just received a massage from Su-bin and I think you were unfair.
This massage should cost over 10 dollars.
- Of course. But if you give him a massage like that. - Right.
Even though you are tired, you are interacting with your dad...
and physically touching him so does that make you feel happy?
- No. - Or is it just tiring?
As you do it, "Gosh! Seriously!"
"If it wasn't for the 50 cents."
You should give her a raise.
Sir, haven't you thought about how hard this could be for Su-bin?
I have thought that it could be hard on her.
However...
- However...
(Why am I feeling worried?)
She's still young.
(Sir!)
When she's older, I'm sure she will feel better.
What gets better?
It's hard on her because she is young.
You're thinking that she's going to accept it.
- Right. - But you should've been thinking that she is too young for this.
Because she has to hang out with her friends and she has her own things.
She can't do anything because she has to look after the baby.
- She's not the mother. - Right.
But she is living like a mother. She even talks like a mom.
Sir, did you have to take care of your siblings from a young age, too?
I'm the youngest among eight siblings.
I wasn't raised by my parents.
My eldest sister had raised me.
That's why, even if Su-bin has to take care of the twins,
I keep thinking about my own childhood.
- I keep thinking about my own childhood. - Gosh!
- And I feel like it's fine for Su-bin to raise them. - You thought of your past?
If I had grown up raising my siblings...
and so I think it's okay for my daughter. That's fine.
But when the youngest among eight siblings says this...
I didn't know that this would be such a big issue for her.
Firstly, the twins follow Su-bin around a lot.
If I try to look after them, they kick me.
What happens when you're sick?
I still took care of them.
You still did?
Did you know there was a time when she was sick?
I don't really remember,
- She doesn't really say a lot to you, right? - Yes.
Su-bin is really kind.
Sir, do you know when Su-bin's birthday is?
I'm sure he knows.
What kind of person do you think he is?
- I'll give you 3 seconds. 1... - Just in case.
(What?)
I don't really remember.
I really don't remember.
- Do you know your son's birthday? - Your son!
It's the same for my son.
- They were born in December. - In December?
Were they being born for 30 days straight?
- He really is disinterested. - Yes, that's why I asked.
Su-bin is doing a really important job for the family, right?
Have you ever given Su-bin pocket money or...
a present. Do you shower her with gifts?
No.
Don't you feel upset when they buy the twins something...
and not buy you anything?
As I have gotten older, there isn't...
a lot that I want.
- You don't want anything? - Goodness.
Normally, at that age, kids want to go to concerts and...
hang out with their friends. What about you?
- A favorite celebrity? - I don't have any favorite idols.
If not idols, do you like any singers?
Maybe Kim Gun-mo and Shin Seung-hun are more your style?
(Who are they?)
Don't you feel sad when they only care about the twins?
I started learning ballet in an after school program back when I was in first grade.
- Wow, ballet is pretty. - Yes.
- I won first place in a competition. - Wow.
That means you were pretty good at it.
But since sixth grade,
even though I wanted to learn more,
it became very expensive to learn how to dance as a soloist.
So I stopped doing ballet.
- Even though you wanted to continue? - Yes.
When you're taking care of twins,
- you can't help but be strained a little financially. - That's true.
I was able to persuade Su-bin that I'd let her do...
whatever she wanted to after the twins grew up some more.
How do you take out your stress?
I just become angry and leave it at that.
- What? - She keeps everything bottled up.
I just keep it inside.
When everyone's sleeping,
I cry alone in the bathroom.
- A sixth grader shouldn't be having these issues. - That's right.
- This is not right. - It isn't.
- How could you let a sixth grader... - Exactly.
- The mother is crying. - How does the father feel?
After seeing Su-bin cry,
do you feel regret? Do you want to start helping her?
After hearing about the issue,
I...
Why are you talking as if it's someone else's issue?
- Sir! - Why?
- I feel that I should start helping around the house more. - That's good.
I think he's someone who has a hard time expressing his feelings.
I know you're upset but as her mother, you also...
don't really talk very much with your daughter, do you?
When I'm taking care of the twins,
I don't have the time to talk with Su-bin.
She is really kind. She's really just too nice.
She knows her mother is having a hard time.
That's why she cries quietly so her mother doesn't find out.
- She's so nice. - But, it's problematic to keep telling her that she's nice.
- It'll just continue to stress her out. - Yes. You have to speak out.
You have to tell them when it becomes too much for you.
I used to be the same.
One day, my mother asked me if I could hold on to this fish.
There is such a thing as nice daughter complex.
- I held it so she'd praise me. - You did?
Next, she'd ask if I could hold up two fish.
From then on, it become 3, 4, 5 fish...
And soon she started asking if I could deliver them.
So I went to deliver the fish. I was in junior high back then. I went in my uniform.
I loved getting praised.
I didn't even realize it was getting tough.
Even though I would get bruises here from carrying around the heavy boxes of fish,
I couldn't tell her. I was afraid to disappoint her.
I was afraid she wouldn't praise me anymore.
I also had a nice daughter complex.
Su-bin, do you understand...
- what I'm talking about? - I do.
- She smiled. - Do you think you also have a nice daughter complex?
I was never praised for taking care of the twins.
Then, what do you want to hear from your parents?
(What does she want to hear from her parents?)
Just...
- things like, "Thanks for taking care of the twins." - What else?
"Sorry for giving you a hard time."
What else?
"I'm proud of you."
- You want them to say those things? - Yes.
You haven't heard any of those for 13 years?
(All the child wanted were warm words of encouragement.)
Your daughter would like to hear those words from you.
It's not money she wants.
All she wanted were praises.
- Su-bin, thanks... - It's strange for you to do it now.
- You should do it all the time. - If you do it now,
it won't really reach her. It won't be sincere.
Just tell us what you really feel right now.
Su-bin, thanks for taking care of the twins.
You're doing your best to focus on your studies...
and you are a good student.
- I'm so proud of you. - She's a good student, too.
So I'll leave the twins in your care. I know it's tough...
- What did you say? - Are you really her father?
Wow, this is a first. The son nudged his father.
He did.
Give him the mic. Why'd you do that?
Because he wasn't praising her.
If you were in your father's shoe,
what would you say?
- Su-bin. - He's so cute.
Up to now,
in place of our father,
thank you for taking care of the twins.
I'll try my best to reduce my game times...
so I can help you out.
- He's so dependable. - You should have said what he did.
Look into Su-bin's eyes.
We'll give you one more chance.
Su-bin, thanks for taking care of the twins.
In terms of taking care of them, I know I have a lot to learn.
I'll try my best so you won't feel overwhelmed.
I'll try harder...
to help look after the twins. I love you.
Su-bin, say whatever you want to your parents. You bravely made it this far.
Dad, just don't lie there.
I want you to help look after the twins.
- Mom, I want you to take care of your health. - She's worrying about her mother...
You should tell them you love them. You love them, right?
- Do you love them? - Tell them.
Tell them you love them.
(She's not able to say she loves them so easily.)
It's because you never told Su-bin you loved her.
- Yes, it's awkward for her to say it. - She doesn't know how...
She doesn't know how to express her love for you.
She's also feeling a little shy and embarrassed as well.
You should show her how to say it.
Su-bin, I love you.
Let's start with Mamamoo. Is this an issue?
I think it's an issue.
I'm also the oldest child, just like Su-bin.
The oldest is always under a lot of pressure.
As her parents, I think they should help lessen the burden.
- What about you? - I think it's an issue.
This is a very important phase for her.
She should be loved and taught how to express herself.
Since this is a very important phase for her,
I feel that the father should try harder.
That way, Su-bin will help out with a happier heart.
If you think it's an issue for Su-bin, press the button.
What does the audience think?
In 5, 4,
and 3, 2,
one. Stop.
- Stop. - So many people pressed it.
I think the parents would like to say something to Su-bin.
Su-bin. I'm so sorry for making you take care...
of the twins.
Thanks for enduring everything for my sake.
When the twins grow up a little more,
I'll help you...
do whatever you want to do. I love you.
Do you remember your dad's birthday?
I don't know.
An eye for an eye.
- It's 1 for 1. - Tell him your birthday.
It's April 14.
- What? - It's April 14th.
For the father to not know his daughter's birthday,
for a child, birthdays symbolize the love...
existence of a parent's love for their child.
I think this is something you should always remember.
April 14th is Black Day.
You can go eat jajangmyeon together.

Hello. I'm a desperate man.
Everyone keeps bothering me.
"Hey, you're good looking and smart."
"You have a job and a house."
"You even have a car so..."
"why don't you have a girlfriend?"
"Why aren't you going out with anyone?"
What can I do? I just can't seem to get a girlfriend.
I'm 41 years old.
- I'm 41 years old. - Wow.
(He's almost past the marriageable age.)
I would really like to date someone as well.
It all started that day,
when I met this pale-skinned, vibrant,...
and beautiful girl.
Trying to calm my thumping heart, I tried talking to her.
"Excuse me? You're so pale just like a ghost."
"Pale just like a ghost."
(Is that a pick up line?)
What is that?
- He's not very good with words. - He made a mistake.
Since then, to prevent myself from making the same mistake,
I started studying about love.
I still have a problem though. When the mood is going well, I say...
"I think you're my ideal type of girl."
"What do you think about me?"
"I'm sorry. I don't think we were in that type of relationship."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just remembered I had an appointment."
"Sorry, but I have to go."
They all reject me. It's driving me crazy.
Will I find someone in this lifetime?
Please, help me. Tell me how to get a girlfriend.
(Tell me some tips on how to get a girlfriend.)
Luckily,
we have Apink and Mamamoo here to help us out.
From now on, don't beat around the bush.
Just tell everything as it is. Be straightforward.
- Tell him everything he should know. - Yes.
Let's welcome our guest.
Please come out.
(Who is this man who wasn't been able to date anyone for the past 41 years?)
(Running)
(Looks carefully)
(Jang Seong-cheol)
He looks pretty young.
(Wobbling)
- But he kind of looks unstable. - Look at how he wobbles.
(He's in such a hurry.)
Can you introduce yourself?
Hello.
(Surprised)
I'm Jang Seong-cheol. I would like to have a girlfriend.
- Hello, Jang Seong-cheol. - Okay.
- Are you 41 years old? - I wish you wouldn't ask those type of questions...
- You look very young. - I'm asking because you look very young.
Thank you.
- He looks really young. - But when you started speaking,
you sort of go...
(He sounds kind of girlish.)
- Is it because you're nervous? - You keep making those sounds...
Would you like some water?
I can be manly if I want to.
- We didn't ask. - We didn't say anything.
We didn't ask him anything.
Why do I feel like I already know why he's not dating anyone?
Everyone seems to know why.
- You know why, right? - It's just...
Can you try introducing yourself one more time? This time, a little more manlier?
Actually, I thought long and hard...
about how to introduce myself.
A lot of people liked this one.
So just introduce yourself already, for goodness sake.
It's too long.
Hello. Hello.
All the ladies want me. I'm Jang Seong-cheol.
(What did I just hear?)
Who told you that was good?
(He killed the mood.)
If you're going to say something like that, check with me first.
When do you feel usually feel lonely?
Usually, I don't really feel lonely.
I like to go sing karaoke by myself.
- I also like to go eat sashimi by myself. - You do?
- Alone? - Yes.
I feel like I'm going to say something stupid.
- No. - Oh my gosh.
What is he saying?
I think they'll edit me out.
What are you talking about?
Why are you worrying about that?
I thought I knew why but now I'm positive I know why.
When I'm walking on the street...
and I see a pretty girl walking around with some guy,
I start to get a little lonely. But I quickly try to snap out of it.
I tell myself they're not a couple. They're just friends.
- Oh, you try to cheer yourself up. - Yes.
But when I see them making out, I can't delude...
myself anymore. I realize they're a real couple.
So I end up rolling myself into a ball.
Can you please stop doing that?
Why do you think you're not getting any girlfriends? In your opinion.
Well, I don't think I'm that bad.
- It's not like I'm that ugly... - You're not ugly.
- I'm also kind of tall. - He looks like a handsome Park Myung-soo.
(Wow. He does.)
I can see it.
They look the same.
- Can you see it? - He does have a strange charm.
- I graduated from Hanyang University and I majored in engineering. - Wow.
- Engineering. - What's your job?
- I'm a programmer. - You are?
- Do you have a house? - Yes, it's a three bedroom apartment.
- Do you have any dating experience? - Have you never dated before?
Haven't you dated before?
Well, actually...
- I hadn't dated until I was 37. - Wow.
- I was on this TV show called "Jjak". - Really?
- Really? - Wow.
After that, I went out with two girls but we broke up.
- How long did you guys date? - How long?
I met the first girl while I was eating sashimi by myself.
She approached me, recognizing me from the show.
I was able to get her number.
- So how long did you date her? - About one month?
- One month? - Yes.
Was she the one who broke up with you?
We went out drinking.
We drank like eight bottles of soju.
- The two of you? - Wow.
- The 2 of you drank 8 bottles? - Yes.
- That's good. - Wow.
- Good job. - So what happened then?
- What time did you drink? - We drank so much. When we came outside...
- it was already 5am. - You drank a lot.
But I have manners. I caught her a taxi.
I told her I would take the first train home.
That's how I sent her home.
- That's it? - That's when she stopped calling you?
- She texted me saying we weren't a good fit. - At 5am?
Isn't it rude to walk a girl home?
- Why would you think that? - The world is so dangerous.
- You should have walked her home. - Really?
After getting in the taxi with her and taking her home...
You could have shared a bowl of ramen.
- Isn't that kind of lewd? - What do you mean lewd? You're just eating with her.
Drinking eight bottles of soju is lewd.
- It's not weird to eat ramen as a hangover food. - Right.
After you took her home,
you could have gone home using the subway there.
But I felt it was really late.
What do you mean late? 5am is super early!
- It's super early! - Yes, 5am is very early.
Dating seems so hard.
What?
After talking with him, I think he's too innocent.
He's so pure and innocent. Who knows? We just might start falling for him.
That might happen.
We need a third perspective. We need to hear about him through his friends.
Is he older or younger than you?
He's younger than me. But I would like to look younger than him.
-Unfortunately, you're not. - He talks too much.
- He says such unnecessary things. - Why did he say that?
- They're unnecessary. - Right.
- Stop it. - I shouldn't say stuff like this.
Do you know why he can't...
get a girlfriend?
I think I know the reason why.
Why?
First, the way he approaches...
the ladies is wrong.
For example, to let loose,
- we all went clubbing. - Okay.
At the club, I think it's best to make eye contact...
with someone before you approach them.
- There's a process. - Yes.
- But he... - Just goes for it?
He says hello. But he suddenly ask if they would like to drink with him.
Hello. Shall we drink?
- Really? - Wow.
I wish he would dance but he doesn't dance.
I do dance as I approach the girls.
- Show us. - How do you dance?
- Put on some club music. - Imagine this is a club.
- Let's dance together. - Help him out.
(Confident)
(They enter the club.)
They look okay.
They need to dance now.
(He approaches them.)
(I'm over here.)
(Wiggling)
(What's wrong with him?)
(Dance with me)
(Scared)
He's drunk.
(Please, stop doing that.)
- He keeps dancing like this. - Why do you dance like that?
- Try something else. - Give us the music.
- Don't wiggle. - I...
Try harder.
(He doesn't know what to do with his legs and arms.)
(He's about to snap his neck.)
(His dances are weird.)
What do we do about him?
This is frustrating.
(The dance makes everyone feel frustrated.)
It really is frustrating.
Have you tried anything else besides dancing?
I thought I should follow the trends.
I thought about getting plastic surgery.
- You thought about getting surgery? - You don't need that.
And for fashion... It's all about the hairstyle.
So I tried getting that haircut like that actor from "Veteran".
It was Yoo Ah-in's haircut.
Recently, a friend of mine...
parted his hair in the middle.
Not only that but I...
heard that the way I speak is a lot like that comedian, Kim Kyung-jin.
I went to a speaking class...
- You went to a speaking school? - How long did you go?
I went for six months. Then went again for a few months.
What do you guys think?
- What are your thoughts? - Tell us.
I think he's trying so hard to show something.
- That's true. - He's also very sensitive to the trends.
Even for hair styles,
there's a style that fits you.
He didn't have to get this one...
- Just because everyone else did it. - Yes, just because this is in style...
right now doesn't mean he should have gotten it...
Are you saying my hair style is weird?
I'm not saying it's weird.
It's a little weird.
Don't the people around you introduce you to girls?
My parents introduced me to this girl once.
- Your parents? - I see.
- Before the holidays, - Before Chuseok?
we met in a cafe in Suwon.
- We talked for two hours. - Really?
I told her to call me whenever she was in Seoul.
I'm still waiting for her call.
- Before Chuseok? - It's been a while since then.
Why can't you call her first?
I would like to call her...
but suddenly I find myself worrying about whether she'd be busy.
You're too polite.
I don't want to be a nuisance so I just couldn't.
Why don't you text her like a man and say, "I got tired of waiting and texted you."
"When will you come to Seoul? I'll just head over to Suwon. I want to see you."
- Wait. - Yes?
He's so easily influenced by what others say.
When you like someone, just tell them how you feel.
I have a lot of courage.
- I have a lot of courage. - But you've never attempted it.
- I did try that but... - You did? We didn't think you had.
One day, I went out to drink some alcohol in my neighborhood.
There was a group of five girls drinking together.
- You went alone? - Yes.
- So there were five girls. - Wow, he's brave.
It was 5 on 1?
I asked, "Do you want to drink with me?"
The girl said...
I don't think the numbers are right.
So I said, give me a moment.
I grabbed two men who were dancing on stage...
and took them to the table.
- So that there were 5 men. - It was 5 on 5?
- You're amazing. - You're like a waiter.
- We came out and the 10 of us drank together. - That's crazy.
You're amazing.
- Did you go for a second round? - Yes.
There was a person that I liked.
But a lot of the other men were interested in her, too.
- They were interested in her? - Yes, so I thought, "I can't compete."
- You gave up? - Yes, I came home.
I came home.
- After putting in all that effort? - Yes.
- He's strange. - But he still managed to gather 4 other people.
They weren't your friends. And it wasn't like your friends liked her.
You let a man that you had only seen once take her?
I once acted too aggressively and failed.
I had met this girl for a date and we went home.
But as we were leaving, I remembered a scene from a romance movie.
I went to the girl, "Aren't you going to give me a kiss good-bye?"
"Aren't you going to give me a kiss good-bye?"
(That's a line out of a sitcom.)
Was that your first time meeting her?
That was after you had met her for the first date?
I don't think we had been seeing each other that long.
(You are amazing.)
- That's how it ended. - Did you also feel like...
that person had feelings for you?
- That's why you said that, right? - I just...
said it because I remembered the movie.
In what movie does someone go, "Give me a kiss good-bye."
"Sure, why wouldn't I?"
Who would do that?
That's a movie.
You can only do something like that when both of you have the same feelings.
If she doesn't feel this way and you're the only one who's thinking about a movie,
than it would be strange.
- Also, - Both of you must have the same feelings.
I should've watched a movie with her first.
What?
Is there anyone that you are in touch with?
While I was on my home from work, I saw this girl that I was attracted to.
- He's really good at that. - The location is good.
Would you have taken a stranger with you if there were two people?
- I think it was the subway. - This happened in the subway.
- Yes. - So, what happened?
I said, "You're my type. Could I buy you a meal sometime?"
I got her number.
- That's good. - What happened?
I got her number and was going to call her...
- Didn't you call her? - You haven't?
You got her number and haven't called her?
It was scary for me.
He starts things but it never goes anywhere.
Does he have like 10,000 phone numbers?
- To be honest, the start is the hardest. - Right.
- Starting things is the hardest. - He has this many contacts.
- She gave him her number. What do the guests think it means? - She was interested.
She gave it to you because she thought you were okay.
- Right. - Exactly.
- Maybe she was annoyed. - If she wasn't interested she wouldn't give it.
- If she was irritated she wouldn't give it. - You need to learn from here.
- It feels like you need some help. - Just looking at it now,
Should we try something different and practice...
asking someone out through text messages?
We'll get you to practice with 1 of these 4 girls.
- Who would you like to do it with? - Which 1 among the 4?
I'll try it with Moon-byul from Mamamoo.
- Moon-byul? - Let's go.
- You have to text first. - What are you doing?
I'm studying.
Are you studying? Aren't you hungry?
Hungry? I am starting to feel a little hungry.
I was walking down the road...
when I noticed that they had a promotional event...
at Lotteria, a buy 1 get 1 free shrimp burger deal.
- Is that right? - This is where...
- Now... - I'm getting irritated.
Hold on. The son from before,
- The person next to you. - Give the microphone to the son.
What do you think was the biggest problem from the texts that he had sent?
(What's the biggest problem you think he has from the texts?)
- When you heard it. - You can say it.
When he said, 1 plus 1.
See? It's because of the 1 plus 1.
The problem was 1 plus 1.
Why did you say that?
I wanted to tell her because I wanted to share good information.
If I remember something, I have to say it.
Let's say, you married someone and you live together,
- Yes. - Or you've been dating for a long time.
Then you could say that to her.
But if you say that to someone you are about to date,
than it makes you sound like a beggar.
- Right. - Why would you say that?
The promotion will end soon.
- No, do it again. - From the start.
- Try to arrange a date for this weekend. - Okay.
Are you busy this weekend?
No, I don't have any plans.
That's good.
Do you want to meet this weekend?
I feel like...
it might be a bit awkward if it's just the two of us.
(Absurd)
(This isn't right.)
Hold on. Why do you keep having thoughts like that?
- Why don't you take your parents with you? - You're asking her out on a date.
- It's normal to feel awkward. - Shall we listen till the end?
Let's see what else he says.
- Moon-byul is having a hard time. - Well...
It might feel a little awkward if it is just the two of us.
- Tell her. - Through the text message.
Can't we just meet without other people?
You did well.
Good job, Moon-byul!
- This has never happened before. - No, tell her through texts.
It's just that I have so many...
friends who are bored.
(Seong-cheol, please stop.)
Good-bye.
- This is how it will end. - That's what she should say.
You wrote, "Get lost."
(Did I do something wrong?)
He really has no confidence.
For girls, they want to spend time alone with someone they like.
- Right. - Meeting is a bit too much.
You were very courageous asking her out.
- Right. - But you ended it by saying,
- "I have so many friends who are bored." - Bored friends.
- Why would you write that? - This time, we'll have Nam-joo...
and Tae-joon text each other.
(Curious)
Hello.
- You asked for her number. - I'm Tae-joon, the guy who asked you for your number.
- Did you get home safely? - Hello.
Yes, I did get home safely.
Do you have any free time this weekend?
I've found a really nice restaurant...
- and I thought of you. - That's good.
- I wanted to eat it with you. - That was good.
- Text him back. - He's good.
Really? Well, if I don't have any plans...
- this weekend, - That even made my heart race.
then I'd love to go.
- You're playing hard to get. - Exactly.
It's a hard place to find...
so I was thinking of picking you up and going there. What do you think?
(An explosion of manners)
She's fallen for him.
- This is it. - Yes, it is.
This is it. That's how you do it.
- Right, it should come at you. - Girls like it when guys do this.
Do you know the difference between the two texts?
- Well... - What part surprised you?
It's not that I was surprised rather...
the content of the text was about food, right?
- Whether it's a restaurant or a shrimp burger. - They're both about food.
(He understood it as a difference between foods.)
He doesn't know the difference.
You want to eat with a lot of people.
Tae-joon wants to only eat this with someone special.
Your text came across as. it's cheap and you get an extra one.
- Do you want to eat? - Do you want to eat?
(Giving one for free)
We're not saying it's bad as a friend to guys you are the best.
- Right. - However, that's not being a good boyfriend.
It's not how a good lover should act.
You want to meet with lots of people, right?
Do you think it'll be hard if it's just the two of you?
If I want to meet just with a girl,
than I would have to become a bad person.
Why would you have to become a bad person?
- It'll just be that person and me... - What will you try to do with her?
- Why is that bad? - I'm the only one who gets to enjoy delicious food.
While I'm eating this food, my friends...
don't get to eat this with me.
Is that what you mean by becoming bad?
I thought he meant something else.
Let's say, the girl you're meeting...
bought you a tie as a present, but she doesn't just it to you,
she gives one to Dong-yeob, Chan-woo, everyone.
- Does that make you feel special? - That's just a promotion.
And what she says is...
I bought this for you but my friends are important, too.
You didn't understand my intentions. You're a bad person.
That's what happens. But that's not it, right?
Has there ever been a time where you saw someone...
and felt like you were going to die if you didn't see her again?
That has...
- Don't lie and tell us. - No, I don't think so.
You haven't been in love before.
Right. Despite his age he still hasn't met the one.
My parents are both educators.
When I was a student they told me,
"Don't date like those delinquents."
"Just focus on study". That's what they told me.
- They were very conservative. - Yes, so...
if there were many girls in front of me, I'd go the other way.
I just focused on my studies.
I don't know when it happened,
but my parents said to me, "It doesn't matter who the girl is just get married."
- "Why aren't you meeting? They changed completely." - Just meet someone.
- You feel like this is unfair. - Yes.
As you listened to us,
was there anything you felt that you should change?
When there is something I want to say, my lips start to twitch.
I want to say it and make jokes.
- That's the feeling... - You can't hold back.
- It's the same for everyone. - Right.
When we are on air,
we get this thought, this would be funny and someone else says it.
When people laugh, you think, "I should have said it."
When someone else says it you go, "I'm glad I didn't say it."
All people are the same.
When you are meeting someone for the first time,
- it's better to hold back. - Can I be honest with you?
Don't do it. Because...
you're not a funny person.
- There are people who are funny. - Right, it'll be better if you stay silent.
- Your image is so much better when you do. - Right, stop trying to be glib.
When you say things that you thought of...
then your voice and actions become better.
When you try and make things up on the spot,
you become nervous. "What if they don't find this funny?"
- It's not his jokes. - Right.
- That's right. - Lastly, could you say something...
to the single ladies who are watching this now?
I like saying or doing shocking or surprising actions. I do act like that sometimes.
- That's... - You're doing good.
I'm not saying that because I'm mean,
so please don't look at me strangely or think of me as a bad person.
Even though I'm clumsy, I'll tend to grow on you.
I hope you can see that I have a lot to offer.
Please help me out.
- That was good. - That was pretty good.
Don't freak out like before. Just speak calmly.
Don't try to be funny. You don't have be funny.
Alright, everyone.
I don't think this is that big an issue.
As long as you approach people confidently,
I'm sure you'll be able to meet...
someone very soon.
- I think it's an issue. - Really?
I think it's an issue for him because...
he desperately wants to meet someone.
I don't think this is an issue.
I also don't think this is an issue.
If you think it's an issue for our guest, press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
In 5, 4,
and 3, 2,
- and 1. - 1. Please stop.
I wonder how many votes he got. Show us the results.
The last digit is seven.
I think he got over 100 votes.
(Eliminated, Survived)
- Hello, hello. - It's that time.
- Hello. Hello. - It's that time.
Hello.
From our many past contestants,
there were many people who were able to change positively.
Let's see who came to tell us about their good news.
(Who will we see?)
(A street in Bucheon)
(Who is this man...)
(dressed up so nicely?)
Do you remember who he is?
Isn't he that guy who would go pick up girls every night?
That's him all right.
Every night, he drags me around like a hyena.
He looks around for a girl.
- He looks around for a girl. - We finish around 2 to 3am.
There's so many places to drink alcohol.
We keep going until he finds someone he likes.
Everyone might think of it as picking up a girl.
But I'm looking for my soul mate.
You go looking for your soul mate late at night?
- In the early mornings. - He goes to bossam restaurants,
- bars and clubs. That's where he looks. - Right.
(Is this a fried chicken restaurant?)
- He's still going out every night? - Yes.
Hi. I came out as the pick-up artist.
I'm doing well.
- He's still good-looking as ever. - I don't go out looking for girls anymore.
After I appeared on the Hello show,
everyone started recognizing me. I don't go out anymore.
It was so embarrassing.
(Isn't he?)
- Do you remember him? He came out with him. - Your order is ready.
I'm the owner of a chicken restaurant.
(He looks for his soul mate in a chicken restaurant.)
I wish he'd live like a normal human being.
He didn't like how he'd go around trying to pick up girls.
He hasn't been doing that lately.
He only eats his chicken and doesn't really drink anymore.
Yeong-Eun is finally...
living like a normal human being. I'm so happy.
I was always human.
(Yeong-Eun heads home after buying chicken.)
Is he planning to eat chicken back home?
Baby, I'm home.
- Who's that? - A puppy?
- I bought some chicken. - Chicken?
(What's going on?)
Baby, I'm home.
(Baby?)
Baby.
- I bought some chicken. - Chicken?
- What's going on? - It's a girl.
- Hello. I'm his wife. - He's married.
Wow. He got married?
Congratulations.
We got married last month.
I'm saying this so there'll be no misunderstanding.
I met her through this social group of friends.
- He picked her up from a social group? - He still picked her up.
I was wearing a work uniform.
She would like me even when I wore those kinds of clothes.
It seemed sincere, so I married her.
(How did you react after seeing your husband on TV?)
When I first saw him on Hello,
I thought he was a player...
because he'd go out at night to pick up girls.
- She saw him as a player. - But when I met him,
he was very proper.
He was different from what I saw on the show.
(My love)
(My life is stable after marriage.)
They are both beautiful people.
(I feel like I'm being healed.)
I feel happy even when I'm tired.
Since we now have a baby.
- Already? - Did they get married because she got pregnant?
We're going to have a baby, her name is Star.
When she comes out into the world, I want to be a dependable father.
- He looks so happy. - Yes, he does.
(Congratulations.)
Did everyone see the "Hello News"?
We're always open to more news.
After downloading the smart phone application called TVUT,
and then if you click on the Hello section,
anyone can easily send in their issues.
- Please send us in your issues. - Yes.
A woman in her 30s sent this one. "The Unstoppable Man"
Hello, I'm been married for five years now.
My father...
has a hearty breakfast every morning but...
two hours later, he says, "I'm feeling a little hungry."
Let's have some noodles. After eating the noodles...
"Should we skip lunch?" "Skip lunch?"
"No way. I'm hungry."
He always eats a hearty lunch, afterwards he says...
"I'm hungry. Let's eat a snack. Where's the chicken?"
"Can you eat chicken?"
"I barely ate anything."
After having chicken, he goes on to eat dinner.
He eats six meals a day.
He snacks on chicken, ramen and cake.
Consistently. Even after taking a nap...
"I'm so hungry I can't sleep."
"Let's eat." Because of this,
he gained over 40kg in the last 5 years.
- Over 40kg in 5 years? - His stomach bulges out.
You're over 60. For the sake of your health, you shouldn't eat so much.
"If you're going to be like that, let's break up."
- He said that to his daughter? - Yes.
He never listens to any of us.
"I feel so stuffy and weird."
- "Do you think I have ulcer?" - "It's because you ate too much."
"That's strange. I should go to the hospital."
- He's so sensitive. - He worries a lot.
Instead of going on a diet, he keeps going to the hospital.
Please help me convince him.
(Father, please stop eating.)
That's a lot to gain 40kg in 5 years.
- That's a lot. - It is a lot.
Let's welcome our guest. Please come out.
(Who is our guest who's worried about her overeating father?)
(Cho Hyeon-ju)
- The daughter is very thin. - Right.
Does your father really eat six meals a day?
He eats six square meals every day.
Every meal, he eats a big bowl full of rice.
- A big bowl full of rice? - Yes.
Not only that,
between his meals,
he snacks on things like chicken, noodles, ramen, and so on.
- He keeps eating. - Yes, he keeps eating.
- He keeps eating snacks. - How old is he?
He's 64 years old.
- He should take care of his health right now. - I know.
His stomach is protruding out a lot.
I feel like it's about to explode or...
- sag down. - Don't worry about it exploding.
Don't worry, it'll just sag.
Even when you told him to stop eating, it didn't work?
I always tell him. He likes to drink.
- Does he like to drink as well? - While we drank with him,
we tried persuading him but he yelled at us to get out of his house.
- He does? - Yes. He said that and walked away.
Let's meet with your father.
I think we all know who it is.
His stomach is so big.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
He looks like a nice person. According to your daughter,
you weight 120kg. But is that really true?
- I don't weigh that much. - Okay.
I went to check my weight at the hospital one month ago.
- I weighed 106kg. - You did?
It was embarrassing.
So I covered up my stomach.
I don't really understand how you can eat six meals a day.
I'm a glutton when it comes to food.
- Six meals? - After I eat, I'm hungry.
An hour after I eat, I want to eat again.
And you're able to digest it?
I guess so.
- I guess so? - Isn't that just your opinion?
Are you really eating because you're hungry?
Or are you eating because you're bored?
Do you feel empty?
- I eat when I'm stressed. - I see.
When I'm hungry, I have to eat to make it feel better.
What are you stressed about?
I used to weigh 65kg before.
But after quitting smoking,
- I think that was really smart. - I keep eating things...
to ease my stress.
- Has it been five years since you quit smoking? - No.
It's been 15 to 16 years.
Did you start overeating since then?
No. I used to be able to control it back then.
- But... I... It kept... - It kept accruing?
- His stress kept accruing. - Yes.
Why did you start overeating five years ago?
My daughter and my wife...
we're doing that so I...
- It just happened. - I think...
- you're not really stressed out because you quit smoking. - Right.
- But you're trying to find excuses for overeating. - Right.
And did you mean to say you were stressed out by...
- your daughter and wife constantly nagging at you? - Yes.
They keep nagging at you because you're overeating.
That's true.
It's not like his wife's cooking started tasting really good.
When I first heard about this issue,
how did he gain 40kg in the 5 years?
I was expecting there to be a big reason.
Maybe the father was stressed? That makes sense.
But after hearing everything...
- He just ate. - It was nothing special.
It was nothing.
But since he's tall,
I feel like he was very handsome before he got fat.
- That's why we got a photo of him when he was young. - Really?
Let's look at how he looked when he weighed 65kg.
- Wow. - Wow.
- He's a completely different person. - He's good-looking.
This was five years ago?
- This is 30 years ago. - Right? It couldn’t be 5 years ago.
- Was that 30 years ago? - It's how he looked when he was young.
(He was very handsome.)
- He's so handsome. - Wow.
- He looks good. - Gosh!
- Is there more? - This was at your wedding.
- He's a little plump. - This was five years ago.
- But even then, he's not bad. - Yes.
- He was fine back then. - Right.
After sending off his daughter, maybe he felt emptier inside.
I kept wondering if this was the case.
I believe... That's... Well, it can be true.
I see...
You just want to worm your way out of this situation.
- I think I can use that. - Let's try that method.
- I can use that. - "I think it was because of that."
I know it's not easy to lose weight.
It's really not easy to eat less.
But for the sake of your health, don't you think you should start eating less?
If you were able to lose weight just by not eating and exercising...
everyone would be thin.
Don't you think so, Yeong-ja?
To be honest, I...
exercise every day, because I eat that much.
I work out because of my stomach.
Most diseases start from the stomach.
It also stresses out my knees and...
- And it's not good for your back. - But...
be honest. Isn't it hard to breathe sometimes?
- A little. - You look uncomfortable.
- Like when you climb up the stairs. - What else feels uncomfortable?
What else bothers you?
- When I wear my socks. - What?
- Socks. - I see, when you put on your socks?
(That pose)
When I go to the bathroom,
- I can't reach behind me. - Goodness.
- You have to exercise if you want to eat that much. - You have to lose weight.
You look like you don't like working out.
What do you think about starting some exercise?
I want to.
If you want it, you can do it.
Are you currently exercising?
- Anything? - Yes?
Breathing exercises.
- When you said you wanted to exercise, - I don't think you can breathe.
you really didn't want to, did you?
Let's move on to meet the other family members.
- Hello. - Hello.
Do you keep nagging at him, too?
No. I grew tired of doing that.
You got tired of doing that? You look very exhausted.
These days, when I try talking about it,
he throws his spoon and goes outside.
And when he sleeps,
he snores so loudly that I can't sleep.
I even tried pinching him. At the hospital,
they said there was too much fat around his neck.
They said he needed to lose weight to fix that.
- They told you that? - Yes.
But he looks so comfortable using his stomach to hold up his arms.
- It seems so. - Yes.
Who's the person next to you?
- He's our son-in-law. - Can you give him the microphone?
What are you most worried about?
As you can see, he's obese and has hyperlipidemia.
- He also has diabetes. He has all kinds of diseases. - Oh, no.
But as he looks up his diseases on his cellphone with one hand,
he's holding a loaf of bread in his other hand.
It's very serious.
I hope he'll realize the severity of his situation.
Is it that bad?
He would often feel stuffy from overeating.
So he looks up his symptoms on the internet...
- and insists that he has stomach cancer. - Stomach cancer?
- He gets his blood work done and goes through all the medical checkup. - I see.
He does a full body check-up 3 to 4 times every month.
- He does? - What do they say at the hospital?
- Since he's a frequent patient, - He's a frequent patient.
- Well, even the doctors find it funny. - I see.
They tell him to lose some weight...
but somehow he can't seem to do that.
But you have to understand...
that when I hear the doctor...
say I'm okay. All I need to do is lose weight...
I feel safer and can sleep well.
There's an easy solution.
All you need to do is just eat three meals a day.
If he would stop snacking...
But that'll stress me out.
I tried cutting out the snacks but...
One night, I came out to eat something.
I checked to see if she was sleeping.
But after a while, I saw her following after me.
- To see what you're eating? - Yes.
She kept telling me not to eat. Not to do this or that...
It's very stressful. That's why I eat.
Wait, that doesn't make any sense.
You're not eating because you're stressed.
You came out with the intent to eat something in the first place.
Whether she looks at you or not, you'll eat.
(Stop making excuses!)
It's not easy for you to tell your father-in-law what to do.
- It's definitely not easy. - It's hard.
Did you try telling him to lose weight?
- Don't you? - I told him many times...
- If he was able to weigh in the double digits, - That means...
- I promised to buy him a new car. - he needs to lose seven kilograms.
- Wow. - That's a good deal.
He only needs to lose seven kilograms.
Even though your son-in-law said he'll buy you a car,
you still don't want to lose weight?
I can't trust him.
- I can't trust him. - Why?
If he would bring me a car contract, it might be different.
He needs that?
- If he was serious about his offer, I would... - Really?
For him to buy you a car for reaching a double digit weight is too much.
- How about 85kg? - Around 85kg?
If he can weigh 85kg, then maybe...
I think he'll keep his promise if you do it here.
- Okay, 85kg. - It's only 20kg.
Actually, I'm okay with 90kg. I promise.
- Wow. 5kg more. - You only need to lose 15kg.
- You have to tell him the car model. - He's going to buy it.
- What kind of car would he like? - Sir?
Grand Carnival.
(He had a model in mind.)
(He tells us what's on his wish list.)
He just said it like this.
(Will you buy me that car?)
Let's make a promise.
- I promise. - At 90kg.
That car is on the line here.
- Will you really go on a diet? - Will you?
I would like to do it but...
about 2 or 3 years ago,
I tried hard to go on a diet.
And...
I got stressed.
Because my daughter...
would keep verbally attacking me.
- He can't do it. - Right, she'd say that.
It sucks the drive out of you.
- That wasn't nice. - Yes. She would keep saying that.
It became very stressful for me.
Let me take his side for a moment. My older brother...
gained 14kg in 1 year.
My mom would always nag at him to lose weight but...
he would just end up eating more when he heard that. But...
when she started praising him,
telling him how he looked like he lost weight,
- he got excited. - He did?
I think he wants something like that.
Should we compliment him on how he eats?
What do you think? Do you think you can do that?
Maybe you can exercise together with your wife.
I would like that.
Really?
We'd go together.
So he was looking for someone to work out with him.
- Yes. - It became a habit.
Hearing them say it over and over...
They weren't able to talk it through. Instead it became a source of conflict.
Before we started nagging him,
he would constantly fail at dieting.
I couldn't trust him anymore.
Even during Chuseok,
he would eat a lot.
After dinner, he'd have chicken with a lot of soju.
- He would drink, too? - Yes. He would drink a lot of soju on top of that.
So I told him to stop it.
He started venting it out on my mom.
He told her that...
we were being like this because she snitched on him.
He would keep doing that to Mom. It made me angry.
So I ended up crying and begging him on my knees.
- You were crying? - Yes.
I'm doing the best I can right now.
They don't appreciate what I'm doing for them. I bring them money.
Basically,
I feel...
that I have nowhere to vent.
My wife nags at me.
My son-in-law nags at me.
Even my son nags at me.
I think I kind of understand how he feels.
You're getting stressed because everyone's nagging at you.
They keep...
telling me negative things about my body. That I look fat.
- I get it. - Me, too.
You have a problem. But...
the daughter and the mother is also at fault here.
Can you both be a little more gentler on him?
You all have to try hard if you want to change each other.
But know that your wife and your daughter are doing that because they're worried.
You keep saying it makes you feel bad.
But know that...
you actions also make the others around you feel bad as well.
Which part of dieting...
worries you the most?
Is it exercising or...
I eat between meals all the time...
so I think it might be a little hard for me to resist.
If you are used to eating a certain amount then stop, it drives you insane.
It's really hard.
That's why compared to the amount he eats,
you should eat the same amount of meals,
- but just cut the portions in half. - Exactly.
From what I can tell of your temperament, you eat fast, right?
- Yes. - That's the problem.
Yeong-ja just said something very important. Eat more slowly.
Yeong-ja, please eat a little slower at our company dinners as well.
- We're asking, please. - We can't keep up.
I would like to see the meat actually being cooked.
Okay. I'm sorry.
(Let's try and succeed together.)
I think it would be nice if you could exercise with your husband.
It'd be nice if you could be nicer to him as well.
- I think he is very lonely. - Let's take this time...
to change how you talk to each other.
When I was working on an ocean liner,
I showed off my affections.
If I said, "I love you."
- She wouldn't say a thing. - It hurt you.
If I tried to grab her arm,
she'd take it out and say I'll let you when you lose weight.
You can touch me when you're handsome.
Ma'am, if your husband lost weight would you become more affectionate?
Yes.
I'll say, "Honey, I love you."
Really?
- He looks embarrassed. - He likes that.
Then, could you say...
"Honey, I'd like it if you lost this weight."
And touch his belly as you say it.
- Right. - "I don't like this fat."
Tell him you don't like it.
Touch it in a clockwise direction.
(Put her head on his belly.)
(Why are you talking with his belly?)
He liked that.
- Ma'am... - This isn't prenatal education.
- "Do well". - I mean...
- since the mother hasn't doesn't this before, - Yes?
could one of you girls show her how to do it?
- I'll try and show them a daughter's affection. - Okay.
From a daughter's perspective? How?
Be affectionate.
"Dad, you have to see me have a child."
"But seeing you eating like this really hurts me."
Oh, my.
- Hurts me. - Oh, my.
(Heart racing)
(Lips quivering)
His heart is racing.
(He will never forget those words.)
- It seems like you are about to cry. - Right.
Hyeon-ju, you have to learn how to do this.
Also, ma'am! Seriously!
- I'll show you. - Okay.
Yeong-ja, give it a go.
"Honey,"
- "What?" - Because of this big belly,
"I can't get close to you."
"Please lose that weight so I can get closer to you."
(Cringing)
I'm getting goosebumps.
Ma'am, give it a try. Copy me.
"Honey,"
Honey,
(I don't know how to be affectionate.)
Just say it in a comfortable way.
"Honey, please lose some weight."
Honey, I love you.
(Poking)
You have to ask him to lose weight.
She really doesn't know how to be affectionate.
You have to be gentler.
But can you become gentler, just like that?
- I'll become more affectionate over time. - You will do it slowly.
If you make a promise with him, I feel like he will keep it.
Say, "Honey, keep your promise, okay?"
Say, "Keep your promise to lose weight."
Keep your promise to lose weight.
Okay.
(We will cheer for your success.)
(We'll help you to succeed.)
I'll work hard not to worry my family and children.
I'll work hard to get under 90kg...
and succeed in my goal.
Also, please tell your son-in-law to buy you that car.
Son-in-law, you have to keep your promise.
He's cute.
(As long as you become more healthy)
Let's take a look at the Guest Votes.
I think it's an issue.
I think it'd be better...
if the dad opened up a little more.
- Moon-byul? - I also think it's an issue.
I also think it's an issue.
If he likes bread, he should eat black rye bread.
I think that would help him change a little bit more.
- Nam-joo. - I also think it is an issue.
If you can sympathize with this issue, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4... - In 5, 4...

- We're... - Say it to your husband.
- Say, honey or dear. - Tell what you want to say.
He really likes her.
- Honey, let's hold hands and... - Look at him.
go exercise together.
- Give him a kiss. - Sir,
Give him a kiss.
(Forceful)
(Embarrassed)
Sir, how long has it been since you kissed her?
I think it has been 7 or 8 years.
- We witnessed a touching moment. - Ma'am, you're...
(We witnessed a touching moment.)
(We hope you two do it more often.)
