We will counsel you on your secret issues.
This is Hello, the National Competition on Issues.
Let's welcome the popular comedienne, Jang Do-yeon!
(Popular comedienne, Jang Do-yeon)
People call this guy, "Face Genius."
It's Cha Eun-woo of ASTRO!
Here's gorgeous actor, Kang Tae-oh.
(Vietnam Prince, Kang Tae-oh)
All right. Do-yeon.
- Yes. - Today must be your lucky day.
We have all these beautiful men here.
- From Tae-joon to Eun-woo... - I agree.
- and Tae-oh. - You are lucky.
- She's so lucky today. - Yes.
- Hey. - I really...
Please shut your mouth.
Don't talk with that face.
I have a mouth so I may as well use it.
- We were just talking to ourselves. - Okay.
- Okay. We apologize for the noise.
Eun-woo, your head is tiny. How does it feel to have such a small head?
(How does it feel to have a small head?)
(Thank you.)
Gong Myoung was here before...
- He cried so much. - He's in the same group as Tae-oh.
- He cried a river here. - He was upset.
(Gong Myoung cried his eyes out on Episode 284.)
(You're crying like someone died.)
It's not that bad.
Is he very emotional?
When our members were living together...
and whenever something sad happened,
he used to cry often.
- He must be very caring. - I think so.
- I see. - He is a very sensitive person.
So he's quite easy.
What?
In Vietnam, Tae-oh...
- is treated like a national star. - Really?
- Really? - He is known as Vietnam Prince.
How did you become so popular there?
Two years ago, we started a collaboration drama with Vietnam...
called "Forever Young," and we started preparing the second season.
How popular are you? Are you like the king?
No, not that much.
Do you get free pho?
Goodness.
- Free pho? - Who is this guy?
Free pho?
- That's the dream! - Gosh.
- That's awesome. - All right.
Eun-woo is not only handsome, but he's also intelligent.
- He was the student president and excelled in his studies. - Really?
I heard you once came third in your school.
- Third place in the whole school? - Yes.
High school or junior high school?
In junior high school because I was a trainee in high school.
- Did your grades fall steeply in high school? - Yes.
- That's good to hear. - Well...
- He has to have a flaw. - Because you're so intelligent,
I heard that you studied before you came here.
During the pre-shoot interviews,
- You brought a notebook? - I took notes.
- You studied about the hosts? - Yes.
Can you tell us about Dong-yeob?
Maybe it says, "His eyes are stuck together."
It says that he's great at acting perverted roles and making lewd comments.
(Dong-yeob is an expert in those.)
- Why did you say that? - It says so here.
- Is there anything about Yeong-ja? - Look.
It says that she's trying to get married to Kim Yeong-cheol.
(We hope it works out.)
It's written in red letters.
- There's also a weakness written in red. - A weakness?
It says that she laughs at her own jokes.
(Undeniable)
- Really? - That's a big characteristic.
"She owns a share of land overlooking Chungju Lake."
- Wow. - The place with high voltage power lines.
Why did you do this kind of research?
- I worry about a lot of things. - I see.
-This puts me at ease. - That's amazing.
- When you do research? - Yes, I told the writer...
- that I'll do some research before the show. - You did a good job.
- I see. - Did it put you at ease?
- That's good. - Please sing your new song for us.
- Yes. - Yes.
(ASTRO'S new song is revealed.)
Can you do it alone?
("Confession" by ASTRO)
(Dancing machine)
- Goodness. - Wow.
Goodness.
(From good looks, note-taking and dancing,)
(Eun-woo is working hard in every way.)
(The direct lyrics make hearts flutter.)
(Do you want to be mine?)
He's so handsome.
(You're so handsome! Please be mine.)
We will now begin with our three guests.
We have three issues today. Let's see what they are.
(The keywords are revealed.)
- "Can I Take It Off Now?" - "Take it off?"
- That's Dong-yeob's issue for sure. - What?
That's yours, right?
You are correct!
- Bingo! - "The Watcher" and "One or the Other."
- "Can I Take It Off Now?" - What?
I'm a healthy 24-year-old man.
I always wear a hat.
People ask me,
"Why do you wear a hat every day?"
"Do you like hats that much?" No, I hate hats.
I really want to take off my hat...
but I can't.
I am losing my hair.
- He's going bald. - I went to the hospital,
- and the doctor told me it was serious.
- Really? - The doctor told me...
- that 70 percent of my hair was gone. - What?
He's only 24 years old.
He said that he wasn't sure if my hair would grow back.
- 70 percent? - That's serious.
- He's really 24 years old? - Yes.
- It felt like the sky had fallen down on me. - Gosh.
After that, I started to eat black beans which help with hair growth...
and received scalp treatment every week, but it was no use.
Eventually, I shaved all my hair off.
People say, "Why do you keep shaving your head? Grow your hair."
I say, "I'm shaving my head because I like hip-hop."
"My head feels cool and I like it."
There are over 10 million people with this problem so why not come clean?
I really want to, but I can't.
To tell you the truth,
I'm an idol singer.
(Surprised)
(Out of all these charismatic idol singers,)
(is there a member who's worried about hair loss?)
(Stirring)
That's difficult.
I haven't told anyone yet...
because of my team members and fans.
I kept it hidden for five years.
I want to come clean now.
- I cannot... - That's courageous.
- That's shocking. - hide it anymore.
- That's not an easy thing to do. - I'll reveal everything today...
- so will you listen to my story? - That's so courageous.
That's brave.
(Who is it?)
Isn't it hard for an idol singer to publicly come clean about this?
- It is. - Right.
I think it took a lot of courage...
- for this person to come here. - Yes.
I'm worried about him.
- Do you have any secrets? - Can you...
take it off for a moment?
- Tae-oh, what do you think? - If it was me,
- I would have bottled it up. - Yes.
- I think he's really brave. - He's amazing.
I agree, but still,
some of his fans...
are sitting there right now.
- They had no idea about this at all. - They're surprised.
They are so startled...
and confused. They can't believe it.
However, the person of this story is so excited right now.
- Really? - "Finally!"
- "At last, I can come clean!" - Oh, dear.
- He's happy. - He must be relieved.
Yes, he's so relieved.
He must be an easy-going guy.
- He wants to unburden himself. - Of course.
- I understand. - I wonder who it is.
Let's see who it is.
Let's bring out our guest. Come out!
(Who is the idol singer worried about serious hair loss?)
(Who is it?)
(Who is the brave guy?)
Oh, my gosh!
- It's Peniel! - BTOB!
- It's BTOB. - Peniel of BTOB!
- Hello. - It's Peniel.
(The rapper of BTOB is losing his hair?)
Hi, we're back with our ninth mini album, "I'll Be Your Man."
I'm Peniel of BTOB. Hello.
(Is this true?)
- Say hi to each other. You're colleagues. - Hi.
- Peniel is your senior. - He is?
- Hello. - He has...
- seniority over him. - Goodness.
- Hello. - They jumped up so quickly.
- All right. - Hello.
Hi.
I didn't know you had seniority.
- I understand. - Yes.
Didn't you come out to promote your new album?
- Yes, just to tell us. - Yes.
- No, I'm really concerned about my hair loss. - Really?
- But... - I can't believe it.
- It's hard to believe. - He looks so young.
He looks like a baby.
Also, he has great skin.
- It's so young. - Yes.
- He's so cute. - He's 24 years old.
Have you been losing hair for a long time?
It's been almost five years.
- Five years? - Yes. At first,
my hair stylist told me that I had a bald spot.
- Partial hair loss. - Yes.
- But... - It starts like that.
it started to get worse with time.
Soon, I started to get new bald spots every week.
- I had bald spots all over. - Oh, no.
- At the hospital... - That must have been stressful.
The doctor said I'd lost 70 percent of my hair.
I was told...
that they weren't certain if my hair would grow back.
- Oh. - So...
Hair loss has a lot to do with genetics, too.
- Yes. - What about your father...
- Or your grandfather? - They have thick hair.
- Your grandfather also? - So it's not genetic?
Yes, the doctor told me...
that genetic hair loss starts at the top of the head or forehead.
- My hair started to fall out everywhere. - I've never seen this kind of hair loss.
I guess your stress accumulated...
and it continued to affect your hair loss.
Are you still 70 percent bald?
No, I just shave my head...
- and I don't fret about it. - You just let it go?
It improved after I stopped worrying about it...
but I'm still losing hair on the right and rear areas.
You must have been so frustrated for the last five years.
When we were promoting "Way Back Home" last year,
- I used to wear a beret. - Yes.
- That was like a sweat suit for my scalp. - I see.
(His scalp was drenched in sweat.)
When I took it off, sweat would run down my face.
- That must have been tough. - Then...
did you have to wear wigs to perform and so on?
- Yes. - Did you wear a wig?
Wigs are stuffier than hats.
- Yes, it's really bad. - Also,
- We wore many wigs, too. - you have to fasten the wig to your head...
- but without 70 percent of my hair, it was difficult to fasten. - It was hard.
- You can't fasten the hair clips. - I see.
- Then... - People around you must have been very concerned.
Who do you think is most worried about you?
The members of your group or your parents?
- I think my parents are most worried. - Of course.
They worry as I was born in the States...
- and now, I'm living in Korea by myself. - They are worried.
That worries them a lot to begin with.
Now, they want me to come back to the States...
- and live a normal life. - Not as an idol.
- They don't want you to suffer. - They were upset.
Why didn't you come clean earlier...
- if you were stressed about it. - I had to think about my agency.
- Of course. - I also had to consider the other members and our fans.
I wanted to come clean about it...
but I had to keep it hidden for many reasons.
What did your agency say about you coming here today?
Since I kept my hat on all the time,
many fans were wondering as to when I'll take it off.
I told my CEO that I was frustrated and wanted to come clean .
He understood and gave me permission...
- and that's how I came here. - If you've been wearing hats for the last five years,
it's no wonder the fans were curious about it.
- Look. - "Do you shave your head whenever it grows out?"
(Why is Peniel bald?)
(Many asked questions about it.)
The fans were asking many questions.
"Is Peniel bald?" Someone asked that.
"Why does he wear hats all the time?"
"I even thought he was sick."
- Of course they have many questions. - His fans were worried.
- Someone replied he shaves his head. - His fans answered for him.
His fans were responding to the questions for him.
Since your debut,
have you ever shown yourself...
without something covering your head?
We were pre-recording for "Music Bank"
and I took my cap off,
but I wore special make-up on my head to cover the bald spots.
Oh, to cover it up.
- You filled in the bald spots. - I made it look like I'd shaved my hair.
(His comeback performance last Friday)
(He had to use make-up to color in the bald spots.)
I've never shown my bare head to the public.
How come you guys aren't asking any questions?
They look very serious.
For me...
Did you think that you'd become more popular?
- No, no. - Then what?
I've watched many performances by BTOB since before my debut.
- You studied them. - Thank you.
He was always wearing a cap...
- and I thought he was a big fan of hip-hop. - That's what you thought.
Yes, I thought it was intentional,
but his confession today...
- shocked me a little. - Right?
- I'm surprised. - If it were you, would you be able to come clean like him?
- I'd have to think about it. - Peniel is very confident to have come here today.
- He is. - How about you, Tae-oh?
- I tried to put myself in his shoes... - Yes.
- and I couldn't bring myself to say anything. - Right.
I'm sure that's how everyone feels.
- Right. - This is unprecedented.
For the very first time, why don't you...
- take your cap off? - He's going public?
Yes, he is.
How do you feel?
I'm so happy.
- I can finally be comfortable. - It'll feel refreshing, too.
- He can finally open up. - Yes.
- It's going to be so nice. - Is that so?
Okay, show us.
- Do I take it off now? - Yes.
Is everyone ready?
His fans are nervous.
(He's been suffering for the last five years by himself.)
(This is the secret he kept hidden under his hats.)
(He bravely reveals his secret to everyone.)
- You look so cute. - He's so cute.
- His head has such a pretty shape. - His head is tiny, too.
- His head is so cute. - He's adorable.
- Wait... - Gosh.
- His head is so pretty. - It is quite serious but he is cute.
- I can't really tell you're losing your hair. - Please take your bandana off.
Be brave.
He must feel so refreshed.
- He's handsome. - It's refreshing to just look at him.
- He's so handsome. - Look.
I'll be honest.
He looks even more handsome without the cap.
- I know, right? - That's so true.
- His features are gorgeous. - It's because his head shape is pretty.
He looks much better, right?
He looks manlier now.
The line from his forehead to his nose is so handsome.
- He has exotic features. - Thank you.
I have all my hair but why am I jealous?
- He's gorgeous. - I can see that there are parts...
- There are some bald spots. - on his head with less hair.
It's gotten better though, right?
- Yes, it's much better than before. - I can see that.
If you leave your head as it is,
your hair might grow back because you'll have less stress.
That's true since there'll be less stress.
- That's what I believe, too. - You were too stressed before,
- and that's how it got worse. - Right.
If you keep your hair short,
at some point,
- you'll get better. - Can you give us advice on hair loss?
I'm starting have similar issues these days.
My hair is getting thinner,
- and my heart drops when I see my hair in the drain. - It's upsetting.
I sometimes pick them up to check how much has fallen out.
- He picks them up. - Yes.
It worries me a little.
- First of all, you need to take care of your scalp. - You do.
- Take care of the scalp first. - That's key.
When I visited a hair loss specialist,
- I'd already passed the preventing stage. - It was too late.
It's better to take care of it before it's too late.
- There are treatment and shots for this. - Preventative measures.
You also need to be positive.
- Stay positive. - Right.
- Peniel seems much happier than before... - I know.
- and it makes me happy. - It feels better now, right?
- Yes, it feels much better. - It looks much better.
Both of my grandfathers have hair loss issues,
and I was told to be careful since I was young.
Listening to Peniel made me realize I should take more care of my hair.
You're going to be a very handsome bald man.
- I know. - A gorgeous bald man.
If I do go bald,
I'll confess at Hello, too.
Let's ask the fans. What do you think?
He's cute.
- He's cute? - Yes.
He looks much better than when he was wearing hats and bandanas, right?
I think he's become more attractive.
- Honestly, he looks better like this. - That's true.
- He is really sexy. - I know.
I feel so happy for him.
- I can't imagine how happy he is now. - Right.
What's important is that Peniel is happy.
You did well by coming here.
(This was a good decision.)
Today, we have Peniel's friends,
who worried about him more than Peniel himself.
Welcome.
(Come out.)
- Who is it? - What's going on?
- Here he is! - It's Seo Eun-kwang.
They are BTOB members.
(He slides down like Superman.)
- Welcome. - It's Lee Min-hyuk.
(Im Hyung-sik)
(I must be dreaming.)
How did you feel when you first found out Peniel was losing his hair?
- At first, it was just a small bald patch... - Yes.
so we expected him to get better soon,
but when it reached a peak, it was very serious.
Even with make-up, it was still noticeable.
We had serious talks about it.
- We even thought of sending him back to his family. - So he could rest a bit.
When he came back after resting in the States,
surprisingly, his hair had grown back.
- It's all stress. - After three weeks at home...
It's all down to stress.
- It's all down to stress. - Were you aware of how worried your members were?
Yes. We all...
talked about it as a team so I knew they were concerned.
Eun-kwang teases me a lot, though.
- Are you serious? - He teased you?
- Is that true? - What are you talking about?
- How could you? - Did you tease Peniel?
- He teased me. - He said he was worried about you.
- What did he say? - How did he tease you?
- You can tell us. - He called me a monk.
- Wait. Hold on. - Hey!
No, wait.
That's cruel.
- How childish. - He also said my head looked like a soccer ball...
- and so on. - A soccer ball?
Yes, and you know the spherical thing with a map on?
- A globe. - A globe.
- That's what he called me. - That's not true.
- That was harsh. - No, listen.
He may be the root of the problem.
(Was he the cause of Peniel's hair loss?)
You said you felt much better when you went to the States.
What stressed you normally?
- Normally... - Be honest with us.
- Was it Eun-kwang? - What stresses you?
You can be honest.
I know they tease me because we're all so close.
- How about your boss at the agency? - My boss?
Well...
It's his boss.
(His tone tells it all.)
- He should change agencies. - I think small things accumulated,
- things like cultural differences. - For example?
Soon after our debut, we had to do a recording.
- Since it was a recording at our agency, I didn't dress up. - Right.
I had a T-shirt, basketball shorts and flip-flops on.
As soon as our manager saw me,
he started scolding me.
He said I had to dress like an idol.
I thought, "Can't I dress comfortably anymore?"
What are you supposed to wear, then?
- The manager wanted... - He wants him to dress up.
- him to dress the part. - Exactly.
Also, there was a girl group member...
that I trained with at my previous agency.
I bumped into her at a network station and we had a short conversation.
Afterward, I went into the waiting room...
and my manager said I could mislead people.
- It could lead to gossip.
- He said it could look like we were dating. - I see.
He's very strict.
- Just because I'd made my debut, - You were just friends.
- can't I talk to girls? - Right. That's unfair.
What's wrong with dating?
- Is that so bad? I'm a guy in my 20s. - I see.
- Right. - Things like that stressed me.
- I think that stressed you most. - Your issue was about women.
That's the biggest cause of your stress,
- It was girls. - You said your stress went away when you went back to the States.
(Is that why he goes back so often?)
(That's funny.)
- We can't help but think his manager is too harsh. - Right.
- We have that harsh manager here with us. - Oh, dear.
- All right. - Wait.
- He's a different manager. - It wasn't him?
- I see. - He represents all of BTOB's managers.
When Peniel decided to reveal his hair loss,
How did you and the agency feel?
At first, we were all worried.
We now think it was a good idea.
First of all,
Peniel was always stressed about wearing hats,
and we thought this would help solve that problem for him.
I also wanted to know...
what he was most stressed about.
- You wanted to find out, too. - Yes.
- I was curious. - What do you think of complaints related to women?
He's very stressed about that?
We are an open-minded agency.
- Really? - Why was the other guy so strict?
If that's true, why stop him from talking to girls?
I was assigned to a different group at that time.
So that's how you're going to wiggle out of it.
So...
what is the biggest cause for Peniel's stress?
I think we're all curious about that.
- This is an important factor. - It is.
What do you think stresses him out so much?
Our schedule is extremely packed.
Well done. You almost said something else, but that was a good word choice.
- I was nervous. - We're on air, after all.
If we're shooting a music show, we have to be up at 5am,
do rehearsals at 7am, get our hair and make-up done,
do dress rehearsals and go for the final shoot.
Then we finish at 8 or 9pm.
Sometimes we go to shoot radio and variety shows...
and after that, we have team practice. That all ends at dawn.
All of these take a toll...
so I think that affects his hair loss.
I think the busy schedule was hard for him.
We once went...
to record a radio show...
and when Peniel was asked when he was happiest,
he said it was when the other members praised him.
- When we heard that, - That was unexpected.
- It's surprising. - we were very surprised and we felt sorry.
Praising him isn't a great deal...
- but he said it made him so happy. - Goodness.
Taking that into account,
I think Peniel worries a lot...
- about whether he is doing his part... - This is an important point.
- in the team. - Also, he's from the States so he doesn't have friends here.
Your members are all your friends.
- They are his friends. - They're like family to him.
- That's why he's so happy to be praised by them. - Exactly.
Selfish people think, "Why don't they understand me?"
"Why don't they know I'm lonely?"
- However, Peniel reflects on whether he is doing enough for his friends. - Right.
He reflects on himself.
Did you worry that you weren't fulfilling your role...
when all the other members were doing their part?
I'd be lying if I said I didn't.
The other members...
have their own schedules.
Which members?
- Sung-jae has his own career, as well as Eun-kwang... - They do dramas and so on.
- and Chang-sub... - What does Eun-kwang do?
- He did appear on variety shows quite a bit but now... - That's in the past.
- Now... - Are you sure you're all on good terms?
- So Eun-kwang specializes in variety shows. - Yes.
They are all working hard to promote our team...
- so I think about what I can do for the team. - You're so sweet.
- That can be a worry. - I did worry a lot.
(Peniel constantly worried about what he could do,)
- That must have burdened him. - Min-hyuk, what stresses you the most?
Being an idol...
looks like a very glamorous career.
- People only see that side of the job. - They think it's all glamorous.
- In reality, it's very solitary and lonely. - That's right.
It's not easy.
When I met my friends,
our team was going through a hard time...
- but they all took it for granted that I made big money... - Right.
- and told me to pay for everything.
Very few teams make that kind of money.
- They go through so much to get there. - Right.
- Not many people understand that. - You're right.
All these insecurities...
make us feel like we're on edge...
- so... - It does make you anxious.
(There's a dark side to all the glamor that meets the eye.)
I can relate to what you said about feeling like you're on edge...
- and about feeling anxious. We're going through that, too. - Yes.
- I see. - As for me...
When my team and I lived together in the beginning,
- I was so homesick. More so than the others. - Where's your hometown?
It's not that far. I'm from Incheon.
- That's so close! - What on earth...
- That's ridiculous. - That's about 20km away, Tae-oh.
- What are you saying? - Peniel is from the States!
- Hey! - You can get there in an hour from Gangnam.
You can take the subway.
- The highway takes you there in 15 minutes. - Take the subway!
Take Line One.
- I think Tae-oh doesn't know how close it is. - I know it's close...
- but I needed permission to go home. - That was funny.
- He was so serious. - That's understandable.
Also, my friends who weren't in this industry...
- distanced themselves from me. - We all go through that.
- Idols go through it too. - I think that upset me quite a bit.
- We can tell that Peniel has such a great mindset... - Right.
because he's so positive. He wanted to be forthcoming about his complex, too.
The others say his hair loss has lessened...
but if you look from up close,
- I can tell it was serious. - You're right.
- If you look here, - This is not the worst of it.
all of this part has gone bald.
It must have been so hard for him.
I can guess how hard it must have been for him...
but I can tell you this.
- I think if you stop wearing caps, it will grow back. - It will.
- You're right. - His hair will grow back for sure.
His hair will grow back for sure.
(Farewell to caps.)
That's great.
(Well done.)
If you're going to throw it away, I'll take it.
- Do you know how much of a fan I am? - Leave her alone.
Sit down.
Putting his hair issues aside,
he's from abroad and he has amazing potential.
Peniel, show them.
- Show them what you can do without your cap. - You can dance or sing.
- I'll do it with my members. - Let's show everyone.
- That'll be great. - Show them.
Let's show everyone what you can do.
(Peniel quietly but constantly supported the team.)
(Today, he takes the center position.)
You're amazing.
That's it! You're doing great!
(He's more confident than ever.)
(Peniel shows everyone what he can do.)
(Amazing)
That was great.
(Hugging)
- That was beautiful. - I left my cap here...
but it's a part of my costume, so...
- What? - I have to return it.
- You have to return it. - He thought you're really going to take it.
(Were you worried about that?)
He's genuinely worried.
- He thought she won't return it to him. - He was serious.
- Well... - She won't take it.
He lived in the States for so long but he knows what Koreans are like.
He knows how to protect his own.
- I suppose you have to take it back. - His bandana doesn't have to be returned.
You can take it.
- You can take the bandana. - At least you got something.
This is what it takes to be a real fan.
- Well... - It's all because I like Peniel.
- It was a great decision to come here today. - You are so charming.
- You're amazing. - Beside the show element,
I think this will be a great turning point...
- in your life. - I agree.
- This signals the beginning of that. - I didn't know BTOB had such a great member.
- I mean it. - I think people will notice you more...
and like you more if you appear on stage like that from now on.
Would one of Peniel's fans...
- like to say a few words to praise him for his courage? - Let's cheer him on.
We didn't know about this until now...
but we're grateful that he told us about it.
We love that we can see more of his handsome face now that the cap's gone.
With less stress, your hair will grow back.
Thank you for being so honest.
- All right. - Your fans are grateful.
Is there anything else you'd like to say?
I'd like to reassure my fans that this has nothing to do with my health,
so you don't need to worry.
To BTOB, I'd like to say, we can do this.
For all those suffering from hair loss,
- I think peace of mind is most important. - That's right.
- He's so articulate. - So...
don't be embarrassed about it. Be confident.
- Let's go! - All right.
You're great!
- Tae-oh. - Is it an issue or not?
I don't think it's an issue...
because his fans also love him for who he is.
- I hope he throws out his frustration with his cap. - All right.
I also think it's not an issue.
If he thinks it's an issue, his hair may not grow back...
so even if he thinks it's an issue,
I hope he won't think of it as one.
Then things will work out and "I'll Be Your Man" will do well, too.
- Good luck with "I'll Be Your Man." - Well put.
If you think of something as a complex, it becomes one.
However, I heard if you accept it and be open about it, it isn't a complex. - Right.
- Therefore, I don't think it's an issue. - All right.
If you think it's an issue for our guest, press the button.
press the button.
(What does the audience think? )
- In 5, 4, - In 5, 4,
- 3, 2... - 3, 2...
- and one. - Stop voting.
Would the other members like to say anything to Peniel?
Don't worry about your hair. Let's all do well as BTOB...
- and let's stick together. Let's go! - Let's go!
I'd like to say a few words...
to our fans who have supported us until now.
You could have been surprised from what you saw today...
but I hope you won't treat Peniel differently.
He came here today...
with tremendous courage so I hope you will continue...
to love and support him as the lovable member of BTOB that he is.
BTOB's manager needs to confirm his promise.
If there's a girl group member he knows, he can talk to them, right?
- I want you to feel free to do what you want... - Tell him he can date.
You can date girls...
but please let me know if you do.
Also, I will help you get more work apart from the group's schedule...
so cheer up. Let's do this, Peniel!
(Let's go, Peniel.)
If your hair starts to grow, we'll take it that you're dating.
Okay.
- That's a good idea. - I'll just keep shaving my hair.
- We'll know if he's dating. - Let's see how many votes this issue got.
(The result)
The last digit is six.
I think it won't be that high.
- Let's see. - He got 66 votes.
(This issue received 66 votes.)
- Let's give Peniel and BTOB another round of applause. - Thank you.
(Thank you for your courage.)
- Good luck. - Thank you!
I will introduce our next issue. It's called "The Watcher."
Imagine that someone is watching you 24 hours a day.
- Why? Is it scary? - Yes. I think it's creepy.
He's smiling so sweetly as he's saying that.
- That makes me want to watch you. - Me, too.
(Eun-woo, we want to keep watching you.)
- He's so handsome and cute. - He really is.
- It's almost unreal. - He's so white, too.
That's how I see you.
(That makes me uneasy.)
Let me read the issue.
There are some roles to be played.
Please be the husband.
- Okay. - "Please be the husband."
Please be the husband.
I am being watched 24 hours a day, every day.
Ring, ring.
"Honey. What are you doing there?"
Who's the man next to you?
- Gosh. - That's right.
- There's a man who watches me whenever and wherever. - That's creepy.
(There's a guy who always watches me.)
That man...
is my husband.
His obsession towards me is out of control. One day, he said,
"What is this? Are you having an affair?"
It says here that you have to act upset.
- He was too nice. - "Are you having an affair?"
- He sounded so nice. - Go.
"What is this?"
That was manly.
"Are you having an affair?"
- He's trying to act angry. - "Are you?"
- "Are you having an affair?" - He's still handsome.
If you raise your voice at the end, is that anger?
I only raised the end of my sentence.
Is this acting angry?
- They are so different. - Every day, he pesters me. It's driving me crazy.
I told him one day, "I can't live like this anymore."
"Let's end it here."
"Honey."
"I'm so sorry. I won't do it again."
- Oh, dear. - "I can't live without you. Please come back."
If I forgive him,
the same nightmare begins again.
(The obsession and spying continues.)
Can someone please stop his obsession over me?
(Please stop his obsession over me.)
- Chan-woo, you wouldn't be able to handle this kind of relationship. - Right.
Have you ever obsessed over your wife at any point in your life?
- No, I don't obsess over anything. - How about when you were dating?
I said I don't obsess.
(He's too cool to obsess over anything.)
Let's bring out our guest.
- Come out. - Welcome.
Hello!
(Choi Young-hwa)
(She walks down the slide.)
(Laughing)
- She's walking out. - Will your husband become suspicious because of this?
(You're being watched.)
Be careful, Eun-woo.
- Let's not risk anything. - Stay back.
We want to escort you, but we don't want to cause any trouble.
- The husband can misunderstand the situation. - Exactly.
- Come here. - Eun-woo was just escorting you. Is that still unacceptable?
I can't have any sort of contact with men.
- Really? - Are you serious?
- Yes. - It's okay to talk to a woman with manly build, right?
- Yes, that's okay. - Thank you.
When did your husband start to obsess over you?
We've been married for three months.
- Three months? - That's short.
Then it's quite understandable.
- It's the honeymoon period. - Right.
It's been around 100 days.
- We should be having the happiest time of our lives... - Yes.
but for me, everyday...
is suffocating and difficult for me.
You married him after just six months because you love him.
- Did your husband propose... - She's sighing.
to you after six months?
No, we only registered our marriage and haven't had the ceremony yet.
- Really? - Yes.
- Does he spy on you? - He's suspicious.
- We want to know. - Does he track you down?
- How does he watch you? - I think it's no longer just an obsession,
and it's become a kind of surveillance.
Can you give us an example?
Be more specific.
There is a convenience store five minutes away from our home...
- and I'm not allowed to go there by myself. - Why?
- Why? - If I tell him I'm going to the convenience store,
he says, "I'm coming with you," and he follows me.
- I wonder why. - In addition to that,
Yes. How about friends?
- I went out to meet a female friend. - Right.
Do you know the application for tracking locations?
- That's serious. - Even during the day?
- Yes. - This is the beginning of the end.
He tracks my location and video calls me.
If I reject his call,
he texts...
and calls me constantly.
"Where are you? Why did you go there? What are you doing there?"
It's tiring just to hear about it.
When you were dating,
- did you ever give him cause to lose trust? - Was there an incident?
- Is there a reason? - Is there?
I swear I have never done anything like that.
I'm sure most of us here thought this.
- We could think this husband is suffering from Othello syndrome. - Right.
We've had similar issues on our show.
The difference is that there's nothing that triggered it.
Exactly. There's nothing.
- I've never done anything. - Did you ever ask him...
why he's acting like this?
When I ask him,
he says it's because he loves me so much.
That's his excuse.
- That's it? - Yes.
(Can you call this love?)
Let's meet the husband.
Honey.
Hello.
- Hello. I'm from Incheon... - Hello.
- He's good looking. - He is.
- I did not expect that. - I saw him...
- in the hallway... - Okay.
- and I thought he was an actor. - Exactly.
- He's very good looking. - Yes, he reminds me of a wild horse.
Hello.
I'm Park Ae-nok from Incheon.
Okay. You watch your wife...
Tae-oh is overjoyed to meet someone from his hometown.
Where do you live in Incheon?
I live near Gyeongin University Station.
(What?)
- I live in Jakjeon-dong. - You do?
- We are neighbors. - They look like they're from North Korea or something.
- He's so happy to see someone from his hometown. - Yes.
Do you agree that you obsess over your wife?
I didn't obsess from the beginning.
(What does he mean?)
There were men's numbers saved on her phone.
- Men? - So...
- On your wife's phone? - Yes..
She says they are all her friends,
but I couldn't believe it.
Don't you have female friends' numbers on your phone?
I erased all of them.
- Yeong-hwa. - But that's her personal life.
You said you gave him no cause for his obsession...
but he says you stay in touch with too many men...
and that that's how his obsession started.
I had many male friends in the past,
but they are just friends.
- That's all. - Just male acquaintances.
- They are just friends who are men. - Right.
If I had any kind of feelings for them,
why would I have dated my husband?
- That's true. - But since Ae-nok hates me staying in touch with them,
I stopped talking to any of them.
He still went through my phone and deleted all the numbers.
- You didn't delete them yourself? - Ae-nok did it himself.
Do you believe that...
there shouldn't be any men's numbers...
on your wife's phone?
That's not it.
Then do you not trust your wife?
It's not about the trust.
A man I don't know...
talked to me very rudely.
- What do you mean? - He was very rude to me.
I got upset and got rid of his number on her phone.
I deleted the number.
Let me explain.
He was a friend of mine.
We speak casually to each other.
Without my permission, Ae-nok went through my phone...
and he text friend pretending to be me.
- Understandably, my friend thought... - He text him?
- Yes. - He text your friend.
My friend thought he was talking to me,
and my husband got mad at him,
- and he deleted that number. - There was a misunderstanding.
If a guy speak casually to her, does that mean he likes her?
- No, of course not. - They are just friends.
Exactly. Being friendly doesn't mean they have feelings for each other.
It could be that he's very sensitive since they only just got married.
You also get suspicious and don't like it...
when your wife meets her female friends. Is that true?
She could say she's meeting her female friends,
but I worry she may secretly meet men.
I'm just worried.
- Is that why you track her location? - Yes.
- I did track her. - Even though your wife...
never lied to you?
She did get caught one time.
- About what? - Really?
- So there was an incident. - I knew it.
(What incident triggered his obsession?)
- The incident was about her stockings. - What?
- What? - Was there a run in her stockings?
- Yes, it was around her hip area. - Hey.
- That's ridiculous. - That could have happened in the restroom.
Women could get runs down their stockings any time, though.
- Men don't know this, - You can get it from a slight scratch, too.
women with long nails get runs down their stockings very often.
- Or they could've farted really hard. - Look.
(They could've farted very hard.)
That's true though. Women who fart very hard...
wear out their underwear very quickly.
(She's so funny.)
- When I go to church, I have to dress up. - Right.
I wore a skirt with stockings.
I have no idea where I got the run from.
- Runs happen all the time. - It happens.
I know because I've dressed up as women many times. It happens all the time.
When my husband saw the run,
he was certain that my stockings were torn by a man...
and he accused me of having an affair.
- That's ridiculous. - What have you been watching?
- Why... - The location of the run was too suspicious.
He's still suspicious.
Thank goodness you didn't marry me.
When I was on "Invincible Youth,"
I got a huge run down my thighs.
What would my husband have thought?
- He'd probably thought your stockings had given up. - Exactly.
- The stockings lost. - They lost.
(May the stockings rest in peace.)
Do you regularly check on her stockings?
- I wasn't looking for anything but it caught my eye. - That's looking.
- So you do look over her constantly. - I guess I was worried.
- Let's say that we understand the phone number issue. - Okay.
- Why can't she go to the convenience store by herself? - Exactly.
The area we live...
- is not that safe. - It's dangerous?
- Yes. - So there are...
- bars around there? - Yes.
I want to make sure that no one hits on her.
That's nonsense.
My friend has been living there for 32 years...
- and nothing has happened to her or to anybody. - Okay.
People on the street...
don't come on to everyone, you know.
We don't think like that.
Are you still worried about that?
Yes, because she's so pretty.
He's really...
- I'm sure many women skipped a heartbeat. - What did he say?
"I worry because she's so pretty."
- Look at the ladies getting jealous. - The funny thing is...
that the ladies here were frowning when they first heard the story,
but when they saw the husband's face,
they became more understanding.
Now they are taken away with his words.
(Don't be blinded by appearances.)
When you dated someone else before meeting your wife,
- did someone betray you? - Did you have a bad experience?
- He's smart indeed. That was a great question. - I'm just wondering.
- I can see he was the 3rd cleverest at school. - The 4th wouldn't have known.
I had a bad experience. I met a girl who was a two-timer...
- He had bad experiences. - Also,
I had a girlfriend who used me for money.
- I've been hurt many times. - You failed in love before.
I think it's a little hard for me to trust women.
- You don't trust them? - But those women...
were all just girlfriends.
- You're married now. - Yes.
Marriage is about putting your lives...
in each other's hands.
You're treating her the same way you treated women you dated.
That was all in the past...
- and it wasn't something that I did to him directly. - Right.
But my husband...
only tells me that he loves me...
and doesn't trust me.
- He should trust me if he loves me but he doesn't. - Yes.
"Why do I have to live like this?"
- I start having these thoughts. - You have regrets.
Does your husband stay at home?
The funny thing is...
- he doesn't give me any freedom... - Yes.
but he goes out whenever he wants to.
That is so funny!
- He has no consistency. - That's ridiculous.
- He told me he was going out to smoke... - Goodness.
but he didn't come home, so I called him.
He didn't return for two hours.
- How many cigarettes did you smoke? - He went...
to an internet cafe and played games the whole night.
- He came back at 7am. This happened a few times. - Gosh.
- That's hypocritical. - Did he call you?
- Didn't he call you? - Did he call?
I get so angry and call him until he answers the phone...
but he doesn't pick up.
- Then you should go out as well. - He's not worried then?
Send him a picture with holes in your stockings.
- Show him that. - He'll come right in.
(He starts sweating just from the thought.)
With a handsome husband like that, normally a woman...
- gets suspicious if her husband comes home late. - Right.
Didn't you get suspicious?
No, I wasn't.
I don't understand.
If he's so obsessed,
- why doesn't he call when he's outside having fun? - Right.
- That's hypocritical. - It is.
When you're outside, she might go out...
to the convenience store...
or do anything she wants. Aren't you worried?
I want to see how many times she calls me if I don't pick up.
(I want to find out how many times she calls me.)
- You want to find out? - Yes.
- That's so immature. - How can your wife relieve her stress?
I can see that you're surprised, but don't say you'll kill him.
I heard that.
Wait. Dong-yeob was saying,
when you're at an internet cafe all night,
- your wife is alone at home. - Yes.
- What if a thief comes in the house? - A burglar could break in.
Aren't you worried?
I was worried.
But you still checked how many times she would call?
- Are you trying to fight with us? - No.
- Your behavior is inconsistent, you should've gone home. - I was...
- going to go home... - Yes.
but I got lost in the game.
Then your wife should also go outside...
to meet her friends and have fun...
and enjoy herself. Wouldn't that relieve her stress?
- Well... - That's unacceptable?
- I have to think about that. - Think about it?
But you go out.
Then how should your wife relieve her stress?
You can be honest.
I'm by her side...
- and we just got married. - Yes.
- So you want her to take it out on you? - Yes.
We're newlyweds...
and I ask her to tell me about her stress.
We take care of it together.
If there's a problem, we handle it together.
I think he only just started thinking...
about his wife's stress.
That's why he's stuttering right now.
When we heard your side of the story,
we can see you only thought about your own stress.
- You didn't think about your wife's stress, right? - I agree.
- Yes, that's right. - You started thinking...
- about this just because we started talking. - Yes.
How is it when your husband goes to work?
He can't watch you then, even if he wants to.
- He used to call me constantly at work. - How many times?
When I'm so tired and want to sleep,
he keeps calling me when I'm about to fall sleep.
He asks me what I'm doing, and says that he misses me.
- You mentioned that he used to work. - Yes.
- Doesn't he work anymore? - No.
- He quit? - I'm getting more worn out...
because it's been almost a month since he stopped working.
Maybe he's not working to keep an eye on you.
He stays with me the whole day nowadays.
When he's looking for a job,
he says that he wants a job that we can do together.
- Work together as well? - Really?
When he goes to work,
he doesn't have any persistence.
He gets fed up and quits very soon.
- He gets tired and quits. - He doesn't have any responsibility.
He's been resting for a month now...
and he just keeps saying he'll find a job.
How do you pay for your expenses? Where do you get the money?
I felt so frustrated...
- so I got him a job at a convenience store. - A part-time job?
Yes, a part-time job in the weekends.
You gave him the job?
- You found it yourself. - Yes.
He didn't want to go alone and he wanted to take me with him.
- Do you work together? - Yes.
We came here today after working until 8am.
- Really? - It's not his own job?
He started work under his name...
- You're just staying there with him? - Yes.
I stay with him and help him when it's busy.
If you had separate jobs, you'll earn twice the money.
- But... - This is so inefficient.
- you only work on the weekends. Is that enough? - Right.
- Everything costs so much. - That's not enough.
It's not nearly enough.
- I asked my father-in-law for help. - Yes.
I borrow money from him sometimes.
I feel so sorry and embarrassed.
When we need money urgently,
- we use the mobile phone loan service. - Yes.
- We use that to take care of small sums of money. - Gosh.
- What is that? - The rent on our house expires on the 10th...
- 10th of this month? - Yes.
- That's very soon. - Yes. We don't have much time.
A single room requires a 300 dollar deposit and 300 dollars for rent.
- We only need about 600 dollars... - Yes.
but we don't even have 600 dollars right now.
We can't even find a room and it's getting so cold.
- Oh, dear. - We might have to live on the streets.
Why haven't you worked for a month?
Honestly, it's my first time resting like this.
I worked consistently before I met my wife.
So you're giving yourself a break?
Yes, I worked very hard back then.
If you have a family, you have to work more!
You worked so hard until now, and now that you have a family,
- you're taking a break? - "I need a break!"
- That is kind of weird. - That's not it.
The company I was working for went bankrupt...
- and we all lost our jobs. - Yes.
- So I decided to take a break. - You couldn't help it.
But look.
- Your rent... - Yes.
- expires soon. - You can't even pay the rent.
- If you don't have 600 dollars for a room, you should work. - Yes.
I should start soon.
- All right. - I am looking.
(Frustrated)
Are you looking for a job right now?
- Do you send your resume? - Yes.
I want to make more money.
I want to make more than 2,500 dollars a month.
- You want that kind of job? - Yes.
There aren't many jobs that pay that much.
What if you don't find a job that pays that much? Do you keep resting?
No, I'm doing my own business.
- Your own business? - What business?
What is it?
My husband just says that he's looking for a job but he's not,
- and he's just clawing dolls out of a machine. - What?
- Claw machines? - Yes.
He spent almost 400 dollars on claw machines in just one month.
- 400 dollars? - Yes.
He's trying to re-sell the dolls that he picked from the machine.
- Where? - Then...
- He's trying to sell dolls from claw machines? - What?
How many did he get?
We have about 80 dolls at home.
- What type of dolls are they? - Wow.
We have a photo.
He really picked a lot.
- He picked all that? - Who buys that?
- That's ridiculous. - For 400 dollars, you can get much more from a factory.
- Of course. - Yes.
How did you think of this?
- Did you decide to sell them when they started piling up? - I started for fun.
I started picking more and more...
- and I got addicted to clawing the dolls up. - That's really addictive.
(Try something else!)
With 400 dollars as your capital, how much did you make?
- I made about 70 dollars one day. - Yes.
I made about 250 dollars in a week.
- So you haven't made a profit. - Yes, not yet.
(He's so frustrating.)
If you're concerned about your husband,
your friends might be worried as well.
- You need to chat and relieve stress. - Yes.
- That helps. - We want to hear what your friends have to say.
I'm so sad because my husband...
- doesn't let me go out, even if I want to. - Yes. He won't let you.
I don't have time to meet my friends...
- so I had no friends to come here today. - That's so sad.
There was no one to come here for her.
- That's so sad. - You don't have any friends from school?
I'm actually Chinese Korean.
I used to live in Yanji, China...
and I came to Korea with a dream to earn money.
I want to become a manicurist...
- and learn the piano. - That's nice.
- I also want to be a good daughter to my parents... - Of course.
but it's so difficult to even make a living...
and living abroad is not easy.
- Of course it is. - It's so lonely.
It's so lonely living abroad.
(Another person living abroad)
- You understand her, right? - He's living away from home, too.
Incheon is so far away.
- You must be frustrated. - I don't have many friends here.
My husband won't let me meet the few friends I have.
I think I'll go crazy...
- and I'm so frustrated. - So she's Chinese Korean.
You heard her, right? You keep telling her that you love her.
You tell her it's love...
but she feels that you're being cruel to her.
Why are you caging her in?
- You shouldn't love her by caging her in. - I didn't cage her.
She did say that she was having a hard time.
I wanted to help her...
but I didn't know it would be this bad.
We can see that you love her greatly.
- It's the way you express your love for her. - Yes.
Your wife thinks it's too much and she's suffering.
What upset you the most about living abroad?
- It was when I was sick. - That's right.
- That is true. - Yes, so once,
- I had expired food from the convenience store, - Oh, no
and I was throwing up and became very sick.
I asked my husband to take me to the hospital...
and we took a taxi together.
On the way to the hospital,
he kept worrying about the night rates for the medical fees.
- Gosh. - He seemed more worried about the money...
- I'm so frustrated. - than how sick I was.
- That's so upsetting. - I really...
wondered if he considered me...
less important than money.
I was just worried that I might not have enough money.
- You were just worried. - Yes, I was.
You should've kept that to yourself though.
You should've been more reliable for your wife.
That's so upsetting to hear.
It seems to me,
you treat her worse than you treat your friends.
What do you think is the role of a husband?
I believe it's about protecting the wife,
earning money for her and treating her well.
The frustrating thing is that you keep talking about money,
- but your wife doesn't care about that. - Exactly.
- You need to respect each other, - Yes, respect each other, too.
and accept the other's private life as well.
- Right. - One needs a bit of freedom,
but all you care about is money.
You seem to be going along with what we are saying...
but you are basically justifying your actions as love.
The fact that your wife came onto this show...
means this could be your last chance.
(You need to treat her better before it's too late.)
Your husband was scolded pretty hard.
If you have anything more to say, please go ahead.
Honey. If you truly love me,
please stop obsessing like this...
and being suspicious. Please start trusting me.
Also, I want you to have a stable job...
so that you have a stable income.
- We are going to have a baby sometime. - Right.
We need to respect each other...
and love each other. I want to be happy with you.
Please stop acting immature.
- Let's start with Tae-oh. - Okay.
- Is this an issue? - Yes, I believe it's an issue.
You say you love her...
but the way you're expressing it...
could lead to misunderstandings so I think it's a big issue.
It is an issue.
I believe it's an issue, too.

You heard how your wife was feeling.
Only make promises you can keep.
You can also tell her something if you want to.
I'm going to trust you from now and you can meet your friends.
I'll love you more than before. Although...
I don't have a stable job yet,
but I want to make you happy. Let's make a happy family together.
(I may not be the best husband, but I want to make you happy.)
Let's see how many votes this issue got.
That's the last digit.
- Zero... - I think it got more than 100 votes.
- It could be over 140 points. - It's over 100 for sure.
- Is it 150? - It could be 150.
Is it 150?
That's a lot of votes.
Ae-nok, please keep your promises,
and forget about all the women who hurt you.
- You need to start over. - Okay.
I need to get married, too.
I'm going to read this issue with Tae-joon.
This person is suffering because of an overdramatic person.
I'll read it with Tae-joon. It's "One or the Other."
Hello, I'm a university student in my 20s from Seoul.
I have a close friend I've known for over 10 years.
(The first line is a vibration.)
- That sounded real. - He's good.
"I was quite hungry today..."
"so I had a pizza, fried chicken and instant noodles, but that wasn't enough..."
- "so I had a cake and three bags of chips." - You're good.
You're really good.
My friend has a big appetite,
but the problem is the next day.
(The next day)
"What am I going to do?"
"I weighed myself,"
"and I gained 1kg."
"How can I go on?"
It's obviously because she eats so much.
I'm sick of listening to her whining on and on.
She's not even overweight.
She is 164cm tall and weighs 48kg.
- Are you kidding me? - She's so skinny!
- Skinny people are worse. - "I've made up my mind."
"I'm going to go on a diet."
After she binges, she says she's going on a diet...
and starves herself for days.
- Due to such extreme eating habits, - That's bad for you.
(Gagging)
- she vomits constantly, - Goodness.
- and she often faints. - Oh, dear.
Recently,
(Screaming)
she lost her balance on the bus and rolled...
down the alley of the bus.
This is obviously not good for her,
but she keeps binging and starving.
Please stop her.
- She's very sensitive about her weight. - What do you think of the issue?
Idols also are concerned about weight,
- Yes. - but this seems too extreme.
I agree with you there.
If she's fainting, it's gone too far.
Our guest is worried about her friend's extreme eating habits.
Let's bring out our guest.
(Our guest is worried about her friend's extreme diet.)
(Park Hyun-ha)
- Let me help you up. - Welcome!
Does she binge and eat too much?
Yes, she eats too much.
- She can finish a whole pizza in 10 minutes. - By herself?
- She can finish in 10 minutes. - It only takes 10 minutes?
- After pizza, she also eats chicken. - Right after she eats pizza?
- Yes. It's in one day. - Right away?
After that, because that's all very greasy,
she has spicy instant noodles at home.
She has a reason for everything.
- Since she had spicy food, - Because it's spicy?
she has to have something sweet,
- like 3 bags of snacks. - 3 bags?
You also said she can finish a whole cake by herself.
Yes, she loves cheesecake and she can finish it by herself.
- She eats all this in one day? - Yes.
- She also has ice cream afterward. - That's quite an appetite.
What happens after binge eating is the main problem.
She texts me constantly and even if I don't reply,
- she sends me 20 to 30 texts. - I see.
She says, "It's over."
"I must have been crazy."
"I'm so sad I'm gaining weight."
In addition to these texts,
she calls me at night,
and she never stops whining about how she's gained weight.
How long do you talk to her on the phone?
For about two hours?
- She talks about how she's gained weight for two hours? - Yes.
Was she trying to lose weight by talking?
Was she overweight in the past?
Is that why she's so strict on herself?
- It started about three years ago. - What happened?
- She's always had big appetite, - Yes.
but when we were in high school,
she weighed up to 63kg.
- She lost all that weight on apples and porridge. - Apples and porridge?
Yes, and she came down to 46kg.
Since then, she's been sensitive...
about every kilogram she gains.
- So there was a trigger. - Yes.
One kilogram is easy to lose if you eat a little less the next day.
I try to comfort her by saying...
that she's still pretty even if she gains a little weight...
or that she could lose it very easily...
but she doesn't listen. - She keeps complaining...
- until all her food is digested. - Her stomach is probably ruined.
- It's better to eat constantly... - Right.
- than binging and starving. - It's not just about her stomach.
- Her whole body as a whole will be ruined. - Right.
It's really bad for her health.
Let's meet the friend and continue.
You know, 63kg isn't that fat.
Where are you?
- It's nice to meet you. - She's pretty.
Your friend believes that you're obsessed about your weight.
Do you agree?
For me, it's more about maintaining my current weight...
than trying to lose weight.
I guess my friends don't understand me.
- It's because you keep complaining. - Look.
If you're trying to maintain your current weight, why do you binge?
Once I put food into my mouth, I lose control.
- She can't control herself. - After I binge,
I starve for 2 or 3 days.
- If I have pizza today, I feel like I'll want fried chicken the next day... - Okay.
- so I eat everything in one day. - I see.
That's why.
- We understand that, - Your appetite is fine...
but why do you bother your friend by complaining?
I gained about 2kg recently...
and I was upset because I'm having a hard time shedding that.
Don't you want to lose weight through exercise?
I tried boxing for about a month...
but it made me too dizzy...
- and nauseous. - You tried boxing?
Do you starve yourself before exercising?
- Do you go on an empty stomach? - Yes.
That's why.
- You're too extreme. - You need to eat before exercising.
If you exercise on an empty stomach, it definitely harms you.
- No wonder you were dizzy and nauseous. - You have to eat.
- I tried going to the gym and I ate for that... - Yes.
but instead of losing weight, my body kept swelling.
- How long did you keep that up? - One month.
- You should... - Yes.
Let me sidetrack for a moment. Do you always talk this slowly?
- I'm speaking really fast right now. - What?
- That's fast? - She said that this was fast.
- She's speaking very quickly. - Really?
She says it's fast for her.
- Then this must be like the rapper, Outsider. - Thank you so much.
If she talks that slowly for three hours,
- don't you go crazy? - I agree.
She called me in the middle of the night...
and told me she ate a kilogram of beef all by herself.
- What? 1kg? - 1kg?
(She ate a kilogram of beef by herself?)
But she ate it so hastily...
and she told me she was in the bathroom...
throwing up for two hours.
(Throwing up for two hours)
She told me that the mushrooms came out in their original shapes.
She threw them up as they were?
- She threw up the whole mushroom. - I can't believe it.
- She didn't chew. - She's quite hasty.
- She ate it so quickly. - Yes.
- She's repeating binging and starving right now. - Yes.
Because of that, she doesn't have any strength in her body.
- Her legs go weak, and she just falls down on the street. - Is it that bad?
On the bus, she can't maintain her balance and falls down.
I've seen this too often.
- She cleaned the floor of the bus from front to back... - She rolls?
- and hit her head on the coin dispenser. - It's something you see in cartoons.
- She fell out of the front door of the bus. - What?
- I told her she had to exercise and build up strength. - Yes, she's too weak.
It's all no use.
I have weak legs...
so I use the elevator when I go up one floor.
What's wrong is...
if you don't eat any carbohydrates or protein that can make energy,
- you can get dizzy all of a sudden. - Yes.
Your eyes start to get blurry, too.
Do you throw up every time you binge?
When I think I've eaten too much, I automatically get sick.
- It just comes out. - She can't hold it in.
- Yes. - That is very dangerous.
It's really bad.
You might get anorexia.
- I think you're right before full-blown anorexia. - Yes.
We went to Japan on holiday...
and she ate too much on the first day.
- Because she can't sleep with food in her system, - Yes.
she started sleeping pills.
- She started taking sleeping pills. - Sleeping pills?
- When we were walking around the next day, - Yes.
she asked me, "How did I get here? I don't remember."
- She was crying. - Really?
It was because of the side effects from the sleeping pills.
Did you really draw a blank?
- Yes. It's still blank. - Oh, my gosh.
How long have you been taking the pills?
It's not a habit, but I take it about once a week.
- Sometimes I can't sleep because I'm hungry... - Yes.
and sometimes I can't sleep because I'm too full.
- I think... - Yes.
- her problem is quite serious. - Yes.
Did you try taking her to the hospital?
- We live far away from each other because of college. - Yes.
- I always tell her to go for a medical examination. - Yes.
She always says that she will go...
but she doesn't go.
- Recently, she even suffered from tuberculosis. - What?
- Tuberculosis? - She was hospitalized for a month.
- Even then, she worried that her glucose injection... - Yes.
would make her gain weight because of the carbohydrates.
- She's worried about too many things. - I think...
- you have to realize that you have a serious problem. - Yes.
I was going to rest well while I was at hospital...
but when you have tuberculosis,
- you have to check your weight often. - Of course.
It was so stressful for me to have to check my weight every day.
Do you always measure your weight?
- Yes. - That's why.
You're measuring yourself with numbers.
You don't think of yourself as a person if you exceed 50kg.
If you keep thinking like this,
even if you weigh less than 50kg,
you won't be happy.
- You'll always live with anxiety. - I don't weigh myself.
Look at her, she is so happy.
(It's better to be ignorant.)
Like she said, don't you think you're tormenting yourself?
I think that a lot.
- You do? - I do,
- but it's difficult to change. - You have to realize it yourself and overcome it.
(You need to be strong and overcome it yourself.)
Who is the person sitting next to you?
- Is she a friend? - Is she another friend?
- She's another friend of 10 years. - Yes.
- They live close to each other. - I see.
You must be stressed also.
- I'm worried, but I do get frustrated. - Yes.
She calls me and cries that she gained weight from time to time.
- She cries? - Yes.
From my perspective,
- I can't talk to her positively. - Yes.
She's right.
- I still have to comfort her... - Yes.
so I tell her to cheer up and hang up.
You should say, "If you're fat, I should die then!"
The most annoying person in school was someone...
- who got one question wrong and cried about it. - That's right.
- I agree. - This situation is the same.
Did you really cry because your weight exceeded 50kg?
I exercised really hard back then.
I was so frustrated.
- You were frustrated because you gained weight in spite of that? - Yes.
But you ate so much!
- You ate a lot, right? - Yes.
How much weight do you have to lose...
- for you to be satisfied? - How many kilograms?
I'm big-boned...
and I don't have pretty legs, too.
I want to be like Sun-mi from Wonder Girls.
(Her dream is to be like Sun-mi.)
- She wants to be like Sun-mi. - Don't you have to cut your bones, then?
That's impossible.
- I don't think you have to lose that much weight. - I agree.
Why are you so obsessed with dieting?
I was a bit chubby when I was young.
My brother was skinny, on the other hand.
My parents told me to stop eating so my brother could eat.
They said, "That's why you gain weight."
- I was so upset. - Yes.
- Then when I went into college, - Yes.
a guy told me that my hips were about to explode.
- Your hips will explode? - Yes.
- Gosh. - He told me that I had a weird figure.
- I was told that. - That's not nice.
Another guy poked my stomach fat.
- A guy? - You should sue him.
- That's crazy. - He's mad.
Were you 64kg or 48kg back then?
I was in the middle of that range.
- What's wrong with that? - Then that's about 50kg.
I think Hye-min...
is too soft.
I don't think she'll get angry at people for teasing her.
As soon as someone touches you, you should shout!
But you just say, "Don't do that..."
That's right.
- I think she'll be like this. - I agree.
- It's true. - If you look at her posture,
- Yes. - she's not confident.
- Right. You have to be confident. - She's intimidated.
(Be confident.)
Do you have a boyfriend right now?
- No. - You don't have a boyfriend?
- No. - Don't you want to meet someone?
- Not really. - No?
Guys don't like my personality that much.
You might not have gotten along with one guy,
- but it doesn't mean that all men don't like you. - That's right.
- You're not making sense. - They're not the same.
- It's because... - Most of them didn't like me.
- What? - Most of them?
What type of guy do you like?
What kind of guy?
I like guys that talk nicely.
Someone who talks nicely?
A guy like Eun-woo?
- I suppose... - I thought he said my name.
I thought he suddenly talked down to me!
He suddenly pointed this way.
(His hand was pointing in Chan-woo's direction.)
"A guy like Cha Eun-woo?"
- I was about to shout at him. - He's not crazy.
I was thinking he was so rude...
but Cha Eun-woo was sitting next to me.
A guy like Cha Eun-woo?
I was so startled.
- Yes. - He didn't even speak that much!
Why are you nodding?
You just like him.
Has there been anyone who was interested in you?
- There was... - Yes.
but it didn't feel genuine.
- He said he wanted to date me, - Yes?
but he started seeing another girl...
- right after I turned him down. - Yes.
So I thought he didn't really mean it when he asked me.
- If you didn't turn him down, he may not have done that. - That's right.
Yes, I agree.
- You don't trust people. - You have no confidence.
- After hearing what she said, - Yes.
she keeps bringing up bad memories...
- and exaggerates them. - Also,
- she concludes that it's because of her weight. - Right.
You are wrong.
- You're attractive. - You're cute and attractive!
I mean it.
- You... - I'm not saying you're overwhelmingly beautiful,
- Don't talk like that. - but you're attractive.
Can you tell us...
something really good about her?
- Tell us about her strengths. - Yes, tell us.
We've heard about her weaknesses.
She's a nice person.
To me, she's pretty and has a good figure.
- She is really pretty. - Yes.
- She really is. - Also, she never gets angry at me.
If I get angry, she comes to my house and apologizes.
She really cares for me...
so I hope she stops blaming herself...
and diets while taking care of her health.
Do you feel that your friend is being sincere?
What do you think?
She says that since she's my friend.
Then what about...
what we sad? You don't believe us?
I am thankful...
But it doesn't feel genuine?
- You don't believe us? - You don't believe us?
No, not that much.
Come to our waiting room after the shoot.
- We'll say the same thing. - We really mean it...
from the bottom of our hearts.
(How can they express their sincere feelings?)
I'm not sure.
Even though you binge...
and starve for several days...
and throw up from stress,
are you happy in those moments?
- I'm so happy when I eat. - When you eat a lot?
- Yes. - What about the other 2 or 3 days?
I just wish that time could go by faster.
You're not happy because you eat.
You're forgetting everything as you eat.
You're trapping yourself inside...
- what people think of you... - Right.
- and you're trying to solve it by eating. - It’s because...
you're eating excessively.
(She must reflect on herself.)
My face is currently the prettiest it has been in my whole life.
I was just a skinny girl in elementary school.
- We decided to pick the five prettiest girl in school. - Yes.
I wasn't expecting to be chosen, and I wasn't.
- Yes, I see. - After that,
- I was picked as the second ugliest girl. - Wow.
The ugliest was a boy.
- Then that meant that I was the ugliest girl. - Right.
So I remembered the name...
and voices of the kids that chose me.
This was engraved in my head until high school.
Until I was 20 years old, I didn't wear...
short sleeves even in summer.
I always covered my whole body with clothes.
Everyone here was hurt when they were young.
- Yes. - When I was in junior high, kids teased me...
and said that my uniform smelled like fish.
It hurt my feelings so much.
- But we overcome these feelings. - Of course.
You have so many great friends around you.
They are worried about you and are always there for you.
Everyone is genuinely worried about you...
including your friends. Do you feel that you should change?
I think I have to start exercising.
Instead of binging, try eating little by little.
With the confidence of starving for 3 or 4 days,
- you should make a diet menu. - Yes.
You can change if you follow it for six months.
I have never seen you happy...
while you were dieting.
I hope you can stay healthy and exercise...
and I hope you can stay healthy for a long time.
You have to come to my 60th birthday party.
- That's so far away. - Everyone lives until 60 these days.
Do-yeon, do you think this is an issue?
- I think it's an issue. - Okay.
Instead of craving to hear praise from other people,
you should keep telling yourself that you are pretty.
- I also think it's an issue. - Yes.
I think if you listen to your friends more...
and think of this in a wider perspective,
you will be able to solve this problem.
If you think it's an issue, press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, - In 5, 4,
- 3, 2, 1. - 3, 2, 1.
Time is up.
Say something to your friend, since she is so worried about you.
I'm sorry that I worried you.
I'll call you less in the middle of the night...
worrying about my weight.
I'll also try to start exercising.
- Please apologize politely to the friend next to you. - Right.
(I'm sorry.)
