This is Hello, the National Competition on Issues.
Seventeen is here with us today.
(Jeong-han and Seung-kwan)
- Say my name, it's Seventeen. Hello. - Hello.
We're Seventeen.
Thank you for having us.
We also have Actress Moon Hee-kyeoung.
(Charismatic actress, Moon Hee-kyeoung)
Hello, it's nice to meet you all.
- I watch this show from time to time... - Yes.
and I thought the audience sat far away...
- but we're right in front of the audience. - Yes.
We're right in front of the audience.
(Hello is always right by the viewers.)
- We aspire to be approachable. - Yes.
(Look forward to her role in the show today.)
I hear that you were very worried about coming to Hello. Why is that?
I can't cross my legs when I sit.
You can't sit crossing your legs?
- Really? - You must have short Achilles tendons.
Yes, and my hips are very narrow as well.
The orthopedician said I'd be like that for the rest of my life.
- That's why I can't cross my legs... - Stretch them out.
- It's fine. - I wanted to ask if I could sit comfortably.
- It's fine. - I should have said that at the beginning, too.
That must be convenient...
wherever you are.
- I see. - Many housewives find vicarious satisfaction through Hee-kyeoung.
I saw articles that said...
- housewives were going to academies to learn hip-hop. - I saw that, too.
Yes. I believe you have to find something...
you can enjoy...
and I feel proud because it feels...
like I helped them find that.
- If you don't mind, could you rap for us here? - Rap? That sounds great.
(Here comes Hee-kyeoung's live rap.)
- It must be such a stress reliever. - It's a healthy hobby.
Give me the beat.
(Give me the beat.)
Do I have to take everything because we're family
I'm going to dis my daughter today
Honey, listen up
This is who I really am
Boys, come on
(Why are you calling me again)
(Why are you calling me again, don't call me Mama)
(I'm fed up with the dishes and aprons so I'm done, you can do the work yourself)
(I'm going to lead a better life)
(My sons are Seventeen, anyway)
(Stir up our chemistry, it's too late for you to be jealous)
- She's so good. - She really is.
- Moon Hee-kyeoung! - "Mom"
- Seventeen, you can't just watch. Show us something. - Let's go.
- Okay, let's go. - Yes.
She's really good.

They are cool.
"My Husband's Nightlife."
I'm a 20-something housewife, a mother of 2 and I've been married for 3 years.
Despite public embarrassment, I want to report my husband.
Whenever he drinks, he goes off the radar...
and comes home around sunrise.
What drives me more mad...
- is his love of disco bars, like Night and Music. - Oh, dear.
He has to go to Night and Music...
and dance the night away whenever he drinks.
(He has to go to disco bars when he drinks.)
"Honey, do you know what time it is? Were you off dancing again?"
"Hey, everyone loved me there today."
"All the girls couldn't get enough of me when they saw me dance."
- Oh, no. - "What?"
I drive myself crazy, imagining all sorts...
of things my husband could be getting up to.
When I was in my final trimester with my second child...
(During her final trimester)
"Honey, I think the baby is coming. My belly hurts. What do I do?"
(Disco music)
"Your belly hurts? Okay, I'll be there soon."
However, after that phone call, he couldn't be reached...
and I almost passed out from the pain.
- That was harsh. - I will reveal his mug to the nation today...
- "Reveal his mug." - so if you see him in disco bars...
like Night and Music,
please send him home right away.
(Please send my husband home.)
- So you dance and drink in such bars, right? - Yes.
They play old songs.
- Right, like what we have for 70s and 80s music. - Yes.
People of the same generation come together and share the memories of the past.
(Disco bars have retro interior and play music from the 80s and 90s.)
(People can drink and dance while mingling freely.)
Let's bring out our guest who's worried about her husband,
because he's obsessed with disco bars.
Please come on out.
(Who is worried about a disco bar-loving husband?)
I'm amazed that we're really here.
(Ji Hee-ja)
- As our guest came down, - Leave your shoes here.
- She looks so young. - these two were so excited.
- Why are you so excited? - Before I began training at my agency,
- I used to watch Hello all the time. - I see.
Sitting here and listening to that theme song feels surreal to me.
- You're amazed. - I was overwhelmed.
Did he really go off to drink...
- Yes. - when you were heavily pregnant?
- Yes. It was towards the end of my pregnancy with my second child.
I called him about 100 times that day..
(She called him 100 times because he didn't pick up.)
He didn't pick up once...
and I fell asleep after suffering from a severe stomachache.
- He came home at around 5am that day. - Goodness.
- Did you just let him be? - This is ridiculous.
We had a massive argument.
How many times a week or a month does he go out like that?
- He goes at least once a week, every week. - At least?
- Yes. - When did he start going to disco bars? Was he like this...
when you were dating?
No. He said he wanted to go for drinks to let off some steam...
so I only said okay to a few drinks,
but disco bars have become a vital course for him...
- whenever he drinks. - But as you know,
many people purely enjoy the mood of clubs.
- Maybe he just goes to dance. - You think he doesn't have a hidden agenda?
- Right, maybe he just wants to dance. - What makes me suspicious...
is that I can't get in touch with him when he goes to such bars.
- I see. He can't be reached. - Ignoring my calls is nothing.
He doesn't reply to my texts...
- and he ignores them even when he's read them. - He ignores them?
- He reads it but ignores it? - That does sound fishy.
He reads it but ignores it. I see.
- That does sound suspicious. - It seems like a problem.
Has he ever gone without telling you?
He's been caught like that.
- That's bad. - When he does that,
- Didn't you shout at him? - take your kids there...
- and humiliate him. - I want to go,
- but I can't as I have two kids. - "Take your kids"
"Take your kids there?"
- Are your husband's friends married? - Take the kids with you.
Most of them aren't married.
- That's why he goes there. - He hangs out with single friends.
- That must be worrying. - That must worry you more.
Yes.
(That makes her worry more.)
- Where did you first meet? - How did you get together?
We were friends in high school...
- and we had drinks with friends when we became grown-ups. - I see.
- So you met through drinks. - Yes.
- That's why you think he could meet girls like that again. - Yes.
- Yes. - You know very well how he chats up girls over drinks...
- and that's why you're worried? - When we were dating, he was such a sweet-talker.
"If you drink this, we're going to be an item."
(Was it something like that?)
He could have said that.
- It seems that he really said that to you. - No.
It's a little awkward for people that age...
- to go to clubs, right? - That's true.
Wouldn't it be understandable if he goes there to share memories...
of the past with people around his age and enjoy music from back then...
because there's nowhere else to do so?
His friends tell me about their nights out...
and tell me how they got girls numbers.
- And they say... - They can do that.
- They're single. - They're single.
- Just because he was there... - Him being there with them is suspicious enough.
- They say birds of a feather flock together. - When guys are with friends,
- they could get carried away by the moment... - Yes.
- and say they're single when they're not. - Right.
That possibility worries you.
I can see why you are worried but on the other hand,
I think we should talk to the husband as well.
He could want to use this opportunity to procure a weekly visit to disco bars.
That's possible.
Let's meet the husband and ask him why...
he's so keen on going to disco bars and comes home late one day a week.
Hello.
(Who's the disco bar-obsessed husband?)
He's handsome.
(You won't wriggle out of this one.)
- Please hold the mic. - Why do you keep going to disco bars?
- Why did you start going? - Why do you keep going there?
- As you know, you get hyper when you drink. - Right.
I think that's why my friends and I end up going there.
Is that so problematic?
(Is that so problematic?)
Only you know the answer to that.
When do you normally get off work?
When do you usually start drinking with your friends?
We begin drinking at around 7pm.
So you drink from then to 5am, 6am the next morning?
I don't drink like that every day.
- It's 1 day a week. - 1 day a week.
- Once a week. - Even so, coming home at 5am, 6am is not right.
- That's too late. - Far too late.
- I think that's not easy for most people to accept. - Of course.
It's not even 2am or 3am. You come home the next morning.
I'd like to ask you this.
If your wife wanted to let off steam and go to the disco bars in Gangnam
not around Konkuk University, is that okay with you?
- No, it's not. - Why?
- I knew he'd say that. - Why can't she?
Men hit on girls at bars, not the other way round.
If my wife went there and guys hit on her,
I wouldn't be too happy with that.
- You wouldn't be too happy? - So you're saying...
that people go there to chat up girls...
and grind on people,
but you don't do any of that?
- Yes. - You dance all by yourself by the speakers?
That's right. When we go there,
we refuse most of the girls.
- You refuse most of the girls? - So girls do approach you.
- Lots of girls must approach him. - But he refuses them?
That's funny.
- That's utterly ridiculous. - I mean...
- You're the type to refuse girls? - That's nonsense.
When they come up, do you say, "Get lost!"
- "Don't come up to me!" - No one does that.
Do you not pick up her calls because you're so focused on dancing?
When I'm dancing, I don't feel my phone vibrating.
But she said you read her text but didn't reply.
You ignored her texts.
There must be something wrong with my phone. It reads the texts by itself sometimes.
- What? - What doesn't make sense...
is that you don't just check your phone when it's vibrating.
- If you worry about her wife, - She worries.
- and think about her, you can't help but check. - Right.
I'm very drunk when I dance...
- so I don't remember much. - But...
(You don't remember?)
(We'd like to find out the truth.)
(He made excuses that didn't make any sense...)
(and said he never chats up girls.)
If you don't remember, that means you're fully intoxicated.
If that's the case, it means you don't know what's right and wrong. @@@@@@
I couldn't remember.
Alright. How can you prove that nothing happened...
because you were totally drunk?
My friends were there.
- My friends told me that nothing big happened. - Your friends were also drunk.
I think I'm not a very strong drinker. They...
That means you must have been more drunk.
(That means you must have been more unconscious.)
(What is the truth behind the husband's claims?)
Let's meet the friend first...
and find out how the husband plays while drinking.
- Friend, you have to be honest. - Okay.
The moment we enter, he acts as if he's a celebrity.
He dances when he goes in.
He dances like those who dance while looking at the wall or mirror.
He just dances like mad.
- Really? - If so, the friends...
must have a certain purpose when you guys go.
We don't like blind dates.
We do like watching.
Are you voyeuristic? Why do you just watch?
Are you voyeuristic?
- That's even more weird, right? - Right.
- You're a voyeur. - My goodness.
- That person... - Why is he that confident?
- There's no reason to block others from coming to you. - Right.
First of all, my friend is married.
- That's why I... - However, you guys aren't.
You guys can have fun and say your friend is married.
We have great loyalty for each other, so we can't do that.
- Nonsense. - Should we believe him?
Because your friend is married,
- you would say all of you are married. - I think it's all planned.
If your friend needs to watch the kids,
you can send him home earlier.
However, we hung out like this because we thought he contacts his wife regularly.
We thought his wife agreed.
However, after hearing that he's coming out on this show,
I was also very surprised.
That doesn't make sense. You guys hang out past midnight.
However, I don't think he just goes with me.
If you were married,
would you visit that place as often as him?
No, I would stay home with my wife...
if I was married. - If so...
Because I'm single, I can just...
go with an open mind.
- His expression... - His expression...
His expression...
He glanced at his friend.
- He can't say that. - My goodness...
He was saying, "I can't believe he's lying."
They're friends, so they can't tell the truth.
Do you think you're a good dancer?
- I'm not that good at dancing... - I'm curious.
- You're not that good at dancing? - No.
- You just enjoy dancing. - You enjoy it.
- Yes... - He enjoys the mood.
- If so, let's see how he dances. - Right.
- Let's see. - Let's see.
Please dance.
His shoes are just for dancing.
- Alright. - He's tall, too.
- Look at that. - He would dance crazily.
Alright.
That's for dancing.
- Oh yes.- He's getting into the mood.
(In the midst of music on a starry night,)
(he surrenders his body to the beat.)
Enjoy yourself.
Friends, you guys should go along with him.
- Friend, you should go along with him. - He's good.
Light steps.
- His steps are light. - Come on.
He can dance like this for a long time.
- He won't be tired. - Right.
Friend...
(He's excited.)
- Let's go. - Yes.
Champion
- Champion - If a woman approaches him...
- A woman approaches you. - A woman approaches.
- A woman approaches you. - You're dancing.
(Woman number two is Hee-kyeoung)
(Do you want to hang out with us?)
They're serious.
(Why are the ladies so ugly today?)
They're serious.
- They're serious. - I'm sorry.
He can't refuse.
The steps are same.
(Light steps.)
Run to you
One, two, three, four
(He dances the same dance.)
It's the same.
Dance while watching your friend.
(He dances the same move before and after.)
He's good.
Gang-Myung is good.
(He dances as if he wouldn't refuse any ladies.)
Can't you dance another dance?
Isn't there another dance?
You're doing this for three minutes.
(He humiliated the songs known for mirth.)
- Dance something else. - The music changed.
- It's a ballad song. - It's a ballad song.
It's a ballad time.
- There are those who don't dance to ballad songs. - Right.
- I mean... - He...
He just moves his arms.
- It's the same. - He just moves.
Alright.
(She's ashamed.)
Looking at his dance moves, I'm relieved.
However, if he's going to dance like that,
- I think he can do it at home. - Right.
The lights have to sparkle.
(He's blaming the lighting.)
- However, this place is too bright. - I don't understand.
(When will you grow up?)
You said he went to dance when you were fully pregnant.
- Was he with you when you gave birth? - After giving birth...
- He must be there. - He must have been there.
He was, but only two days after giving birth,
he went dancing again.
- Two days... - Two days?
- It's not like you recovered from a cold. You gave birth. - Two days?
- Yes. - Postpartum care is the most important period.
- When our second child was born, I was so happy and proud. - You were so happy...
Did you go dancing because you were so happy?
No, but I was drinking because I was so happy...
Because I was drunk, I went dancing again.
I'm 28 years old, and I have two kids.
I married at a young age.
I work five days a week and rest every other weekend.
It's a hectic life.
That's why I relieve my stress while drinking once a week.
I think that's why I do that.
- You... - Right.
think once a week is okay,
but the wife is worried because...
- It'll be okay if he comes home after drinking. - Right, but she can't contact him.
- Right. When you're at a place where... - That's right.
men and women dance,
- the wife must be having a hard time. - Right.
- The wife would be very angry. - I feel like he's not contacting me on purpose.
Right. That...
- is what's most upsetting. - She would imagine things.
Even if you hang out, I hope you can do it wisely.
If you just contact her well,
then she'll understand because it's only once a week.
I'm trying to change...
- It's a habit now? - You just go after drinking?
However, I'm always completely drunk that time.
- Just don't drink. - I think it's a drinking habit.
(The husband doesn't repent. He just blames alcohol.)
You drink only once a week, but...
if the wife complains like this, it means that you're not good to her.
That's right. Because I have two kids,
- I don't even have time to eat or to sleep. - Right.
He thinks childcare is a task for the wife.
He says, "If you're that confident, then you should go out and make a living."
- "I'm the one who works." - That's...
- That's seriously... - How can she work when she has two kids?
(How can he say that to his wife?)
- You should take care of the kids then. - Right.
You hang out freely.
However, the way you think is like someone from the Joseon era.
However, I speak before I think.
I know she'll get hurt, but it's a bit...
If so, do you say you're sorry?
Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't.
It's not enough, but...
I express my affection when I'm drunk.
I'm a bit cold when I'm sober.
- It's hard... - That means you show your affection at 5am.
- You show it when she's sleeping. - She has to sleep...
- to watch the kids. - Wake up. I love you.
- I love you. - She'll be so irritated.
- She'd be so tired. - When we dated, he showed his affection to me a lot.
He would talk to me often. However, now,
I just want him to...
- encourage me. - Right, you want to hear that.
- That would comfort me so much. - Right.
However, he only shows his affection when he's drunk.
- You don't like that. - Yes, I really don't like that.
- Do you two don't talk to each other normally? - We don't.
He must have been so nice to you before you married.
- She's so cute and pretty. - He changed after we married.
- He changed after you married? - Yes.
(A friend has been watching this couple for a long time.)
I heard the wife's friend came out.
- Hello. - Hello.
What is your relation to her?
- I've been her friend since high school. - High school.
- I see. - Did you know your friend was having a hard time?
- Right. - She has two kids...
but her husband suddenly got into dancing.
- Right. - He got into dancing.
- He... - Usually, girls get into dancing.
She does housework and takes care of the child alone.
When I call her,
- she even talks about divorce. - What?
Divorce.
If so...
- Life... - Did you mention divorce because you were angry?
- Are you serious? - I think I say it when I can't take it any longer.
My first child...
has been ill since birth. My child has encephalopathy.
- What is that? - So...
- It may develop into a brain disability. - Really?
Yes, my child's brain is hurt and can't do anything.
That...
- If there isn't anyone beside you... - Right.
- it'll be impossible. - He has to help.
It's harder because I had my second child.
Sometimes, I can't contact him when he hangs out.
It's hard because he doesn't help me out.
- When you were pregnant... - If I can't contact him when my child's very sick,
then it means I have to do it myself.
You'll be flustered.
One time, I was so angry that I went to my mother's place.
He called me and asked me to come home because the baby was crying.
- You can't help but go back because the baby's crying. - Right.
I went back, but it was the same cycle all over again.
(She had to return because she was worried for her child.)
(The husband change, and she can't escape reality.)
(Even though she persists because of familial responsibility...)
Sometimes, I get stressed because I can't take it any longer.
I sometimes think of divorcing and living by myself.
I told him that we should divorce...
and I would just take care of my two kids.
- You told him? - She's actually very young...
- and pretty. Her skin's nice as well. - Right.
She would want to have fun because she's still young.
However, she's responsible because she has a family.
- She has responsibility. - Because of the kids...
I think you two need to help each other.
- This is the time where she needs most help. - Of course.
The first child is also a bit sick.
The mother can't do this alone.
- He needs to help. - My friends have two kids.
- However, they have... - Right.
other helpers to take care of the kids.
They still say that they're having such a hard time.
She's actually amazing.
Normally, she would get depression.
- Right. - There's no way she can relieve her stress.
Not only so, but I mention this often...
My older brother has a hearing disability. The moment he was born,
he had an ear disease, so he couldn't learn how to speak.
He had no choice but to live with an ear disability.
My mother received...
- a tremendous amount of stress. - Right.
- Also, she thought it was something she did... - She blamed herself.
- that made him suffer. - It's a life-long burden.
That's why you have to be with her...
and comfort her.
You have to acknowledge that she's under...
more stress than you can imagine.
Is there anything more you'd like to say to your husband?
If this carries on,
I think our sons will feel the absence of their father...
so I hope you'll go drinking less and stop going to disco bars.
I also hope you'll help out with the kids more.
- Can you help your wife go out to let off her steam... - Of course.
- and have her own time? - You should look after your kids.
(Will you help out more?)
- What's wrong? - It's just...
I'm so nervous that I can't really hear the questions.
- He's panicked. - Have some water.
Drink will you listen.
Your elder son is suffering from brain lesions...
so we were saying you should help take care of him.
Isn't your son on your mind when you're out partying?
I do think about him.
I shouldn't go on like this.
- Of course. - I'm sure you're very nervous.
I can see you're not proud of your current lifestyle...
and life does get frustrating. You can't always be happy at home...
- Of course. - and you have to earn a living.
However, if you're going out like that, she should have some time to herself, too.
I have to help out more. That's the right thing to do.
- I can only apologize. - Yes.
You're so brusque. If only you handled things better,
- you could do anything. - You only go out once a week. Picking up the phone's easy.
Goodness.
- Is it a worry or not? - Jeong-han.
- Hee-ja needs to relieve her stress as well, - Of course.
so I think you need to make an effort, like bringing home something nice to eat...
and make time to talk things through.
- All right. - I see.
From Hee-ja's perspective,
it must be so lonely to wait up all night for him to come home.
Also, you never know what could happen.
For a mother, there is no end to childcare.
I think you really need to help her at this stage.
If you think it's an issue for the guest
press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, - In 5, 4, 3,
- 2, 1. - 2, 1.
- Time's up. - Stop voting.
I'm glad you wrote to us...
because if your husband was getting up to no good,
- he wouldn't have even come here. - Right.
- Right. - And I'm sure he saw what others objectively thought about his behavior.
I'm sure he realized he was in the wrong.
- Honey. - Talk to her.
I know it's wrong for me to drink so much and go to disco bars.
I have to stop but it's not so easy.
From now on, I really...
- He's not the expressive type. - You can comfort her and tell her you understand.
It must have been hard on you.
I...
- "I love you." - Shall I dictate everything for you?
I'm so sorry, Honey. I love you.
- He's a softie, too. - He is.
Please express your love for her all the time.
- Not only when you're drunk. - Make her a heart.
- Yes. - Tell her you love her.
All right.
(I love you.)
(Please make an effort, Honey.)
Let's see how many votes this issue got. Show us the result.

- I have a small job for you. - Thank you.
- There's a male role here so I'll give it to you. - Okay.
This is the title.
"No! No!"
I've been married for 18 years.
They say at this age, you can do anything you want...
but I'm an exception.
Without this person's orders, I can't move or do anything.
"My words are the law."
"Just do as I say. Understood?"
Yes. The person that orders me around...
24 hours a day, 365 days a year, is none other...
than my husband.
"Why is the house in such a state?"
"You will sort this mess out at once. Proceed!"
Yes. My husband tries to control everything and anything...
that he doesn't agree with.
"You will be allowed to go out once a month."
He even set a limit for the number of times I can go out.
Isn't this more like a prison?
There's more.
- "Hey, look at all that fat on you." - Why, you rat!
("When do you think a person really dies?")
I almost hit you just then.
You fool. We're married, aren't we?
- You still got it. - Of course.
"Hey, look at all that fat on you."
"Didn't I tell you to stay a size small?"
"You..."
"should eat less."
(Please stop eating so much.)
On top of everything, he's now trying to control my weight, too.
This man controls every aspect of me.
Is there any way to bring him to his senses?
I'm so frustrated. I think this man could stress someone to death.
- You won't be able to live with him for a single day? - I couldn't.
How did our guest live with him for 18 years?
- There's more. - I'll feel suffocated.
This husband sounds old enough to be our father, right?
- He's old-fashioned, so yes. - Is he in his 60s?
He's in his early 40s.
- What? - Really?
He's in his early 40s.
- I thought he was in his 60s. - Why is a young man so close-minded?
- You're young. - Let's bring out our guest and talk to her.
- Let's talk to her first. - Please come on out.
(Who's fed up with a controlling husband?)
Please come on out.
(Park Young-mi)
Hold on to that and come up.
(Is she weak from being confined?)
She didn't get enough sunlight because she can't leave the house.
Can you walk?
- She's not used to being outside. - Yes.
Lack of sunlight can make you weak.
I don't know if this is because she can't leave the house,
- but she's so pale. - She's really pale.
- She is! - Her skin is so pale.
(She can't leave the house or stay out so she's pale.)
I don't think your husband would have let you...
write in to our show.
He was so confident, though.
- What did he say? - He did nothing wrong?
- Yes. He said, "Let's go and see." - He said that?
Does he really let you leave the house once a month?
Yes. That's about it and even if I want to go on holiday, he doesn't let me.
(She's forbidden from leaving the house.)
- And you also have a curfew. - This is ridiculous.
- You lived like this for 18 years? - I guess so.
When I was younger, I was busy with my kids anyway,
- so I didn't go out. - You had no time anyway.
Now, the kids have grown up...
so I want to enjoy a little more freedom but he won't have any of it.
If you don't go out, what do you do at home?
I clean. He really values his home.
If someone drops something, he says,
"Did you chip the floorboards? What do you think you're doing?"
- He doesn't ask if you're okay? - No.
- I mean... - That's upsetting.
When the kids tear the wall paper by mistake,
he says, "You rats."
"Why weren't you keeping an eye on the kids?" He loves his home that much.
- What happens when he comes home? - He starts from the floor...
- Then what does he do? - He checks?
He looks around to see if anything is crooked in any way.
If I move the TV slightly while dusting,
- he measures the distance with a ruler. - With a ruler?
- Goodness. - He checks how many centimeters it moved.
- Are you slightly messy? - Not at all.
Our house is like a showroom.
- The house you live in? - Wow. Is this what it looks like all the time?
- Yes. - How many years...
- Is this what it looks like all the time? - How many years...
- Really? - The floors are shining.
- I'd say 3 to 4 years. - Is this...
That looks like a room made up for a guest.
- It always has to be tidy. - It's spotless.
- This is a home with two boys? - Yes.
- When we heard the story, your husband has an authoritative tone. - Yes.
- How does he speak to you normally? - Well...
When he wakes up, he says, "Squeeze
"Squeeze toothpaste on my toothbrush."
- He tells you to do that? - Yes.
- That's terrible. - He orders me from the bed.
He tells you to bring him his toothbrush?
Telling you to bring him water must be nothing then.
- That's nothing. - I get he can ask you to bring him water...
- but the toothpaste, that could feel humiliating. - Is he a king or something?
He stays in bed...
- Reenact it for us. - As soon as he opens his eyes,
he stays in bed and only his head is showing.
- "Toothpaste." That's all he says. - "Toothpaste."
When I bring it to him, he brushes his teeth in bed.
- You do that for him? - Yes.
He brushes his teeth in bed?
- And then? - Is he ill?
What if he makes a mess in the bed from brushing his teeth? What does he say?
- "Clean it?" - I have to wash all the sheets.
What?
(She has to wash all the sheets.)
- So that's toothpaste. - After that, when he goes to shower,
I get his socks and clothes.
- He makes you set them out? - Yes.
- He makes me set them out. - When he goes to the toilet,
does he call for you, like a baby?
- "Honey, wipe it off!" - Gosh.
- He can't be that bad. - Well, I have to peel oranges for him.
- You have to? - He doesn't want it on his hands.
(I have to do all that. )
- I can't believe such a man exists in this day and age. - Me, too.
(He's the patriarch of patriarchs.)
Shall I call out your husband or will you?
- I don't want to call him. - Really?
- Where's the husband that she doesn't want to call? - Here. Hello.
- I see. - Hello.
He looks so nice.
- He looks so gentle. - He's good-looking, too.
He looks like such a gentleman.
- Before she told you, you didn't know she was stressed, right? - He looks so kind.
- I can't imagine you being so controlling. - Right.
I actually have an issue of my own...
- because she's complaining like that. - What?
- You have an issue? - I wanted to come here.
- You have a bigger issue? - Yes.
- You have a different issue? - We have to hear both sides.
Is everything we heard true or is there anything you'd like to correct?
- It's essentially true. I did behave like that. - Then...
Then why do you have an issue?
I wasn't as bad as she made me out to be.
When I come home after work,
it's a mess.
My wife said she cleans the house...
but she's not very thorough.
I want my house to look like a showroom. That's the concept.
- The concept? - Concept?
- You must be frustrated. - So it has to be spotless all the time.
If you're not happy with her standards, why don't you clean yourself?
- I work and it tires me out... - He's frustrating.
so I can't clean every day.
I do clean when she doesn't get it right after a few times.
You order her to do so much for you, starting from the toothpaste and so on.
Hee-kyeoung was furious...
- when she heard that. - She was mad.
- That's... - You have your own limbs!
As for the toothpaste,
my wife has it easy, lounging about at home...
- and I go to work. - You think she has it easy. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
- That's what he... - Not only so, it's hard...
to go to the bathroom from our bedroom.
- It's very far. - Your house must be very big.
- It's not that big. - It is about 100m?
It's a bit far to go after waking up from my sleep.
Once I asked my wife,
"Honey, water?" My wife glared at me...
and so I said, "You want water? Okay."
You're very sensible.
- You can ask once. - You can.
Even though I think it's something you two should figure out on your own,
- but going out... - Right.
- It's only once a month. - Right.
It's okay if she goes out during the day...
for two hours to take care of business. I can allow that.
However, it's not right for a woman to go out late at night.
It's not proper for her to come home past 12am.
She's a mother, too. It's not right for her to go out that late.
Is it okay if she goes out at 10am, hangs out for 8 hours, and returns at 6pm?
I would understand if there was a reason behind that.
However, I don't want her to go out without any necessary cause.
- That... - Hold on.
- You mention necessary cause. What is that? - What's unnecessary?
There's no reason to hang out for over two hours.
- What would she be doing? - There are many things to do.
- She can shop. - She can go out.
When you go out, do you only hang out for two hours and come back?
Do you say, "Oh, it's been two hours," and go home?
I have a social life, so two hours isn't enough.
- If so... - If you're a housewife,
you can't go over two hours?
- There's nothing to do in two hours. - She's mad.
Calm down. You can't curse here.
Two hours is... If I go to the supermarket and bank,
- it passes so quickly. - Right.
However, your schedule isn't regular.
When he returns home, he comes back at 1 or 2.
- During the day? - Yes, he doesn't even eat lunch.
He would call me, ask me where I am, and tell me to return quickly.
I would have to come out of the restaurant in the middle of my meal.
I'm always so nervous that I gave up going out.
- You gave up going at all? - Yes.
Can't you say that you're eating and that you'll return after you finish your meal?
Can't you tell him, "Sorry, but can you order a meal for yourself?"
- He doesn't order food. - Why?
- Does he wait until you return? - Yes.
It's a bit weird to eat alone. They don't deliver food for one person, too.
- They do. - They don't.
They do.
I think the children will know about their parents more.
- Both your sons are here, right? - Yes.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. - They're in their adolescence.
They kids...
- They kids are listless. - I think they're discouraged.
- They're scared of their father. - Right.
You should let the kids be free today.
Tell them they can be honest today, or else they'll be too scared to speak.
You can talk if you want.
- Sir? - What?
- Do you have any complaints? - He's threatening.
Older son, do think your father's an issue?
Yes. I think he orders too many chores.
I bring him toothpaste, toothbrush, water,
medicine, and ice cream.
- Your father? - Your father orders a lot of tasks?
Does he allow you guys to go out?
- I'm free during Saturdays, but he doesn’t let me go out at all on Sundays. - Why?
- He says that we have to spend the day with the family. - Family?
- What do you do together? Does he play with you? - Do you go out and eat?
Does he take you out for movies?
No, we just stay at home and watch him turn the television channel.
- My goodness. - He just watches his father turn the channel.
However, this is so strange.
You guys each stay in your room?
- Kids your age can just disobey and go out. - We have to know for sure.
I did that once, but I don't want to do that these days.
- He doesn't want to do that now. - He got used to it.
How do you like staying with your father during the weekends?
I'm not that happy.
- He's not happy. - He's not happy
I don't hear anything. I just hear the television.
I think the father is like a king at home.
He works very hard outside, and he becomes a king when he comes home.
Even though you can't go hang out because you're not young,
you have to see your family in front of you...
- so that you'll be comforted. - That's true.
I want to see my kids because I didn't see then during the weekdays.
I want to embrace and give them a kiss.
- Hold on. - That...
- Does he hug you? - Yes.
- However, do you like him kissing you? - He should embrace his wife.
Yes.
(You're strange, too.)
His eyes are shaking.
His eyes...
Sons usually take after their father.
Do the two sons ask you to bring them water and things?
- Do they order you to do things? - The kids?
- Yes, they do. - It'll be even more exhausting for her.
- She's at home during the weekends... - The kids follow their dad.
Do you only stay at home during the weekends, then?
No, in the past, I was allowed...
to work part-time at a supermarket for five years.
- I worked as a cashier. - A cashier?
- You wanted to be free? - Yes.
If there was a meal with the employees afterward,
then my husband would go crazy.
He told me to just clean the house, so it's been over a month since I quit the job.
- A month. - A month.
- Is that why... - It must be hard for you.
Do you miss working?
- I want to work, because it's so stifling at home. - It's better to work.
I just cry when I'm home.
- I understand. - If you let her work,
she'll feel more energetic.
- She can be happy. - She can feel the joy of working.
What do you think?
I think it's okay for her to work.
If she works as a cashier... My wife laughs a lot.
Because she laughs a lot... There are male customers as well.
Male customers can ask her out, give her gives, and invite her to lunch.
She tells me these things.
- I don't want to listen to that. - You must be very popular.
- Why did you tell him that? - Is that true?
Pardon?
The male customers...
Tell us the truth.
- Tell us the truth. - She was just joking.
- She was saying, "I get asked out." - Right.
- Right? - He always tells me that I'm fat.
He tells me to lose weight.
- You're still great. - Yes, I'm still okay.
- I just wanted to tell him that. - Is that why you were worried?
Don't you think she made it up?
While she was working there,
she would eat and drink with the employees too often.
I got stressed by that.
- It's okay for her to drink a little and eat with the employees. - It's fine.
What part-time job makes the employees eat and drink together three times a week?
- That is a bit too much. - Three times?
- Is that true? - No.
- Is that true? - You may feel like it's two to three times a week.
- What's the truth? - It's actually two times a month.
- A two times month? - He said it's three times a week.
Right.
Let's ask the children.
She doesn't go out that often, but she gets caught drinking secretly at home.
- That... - She drank at home.
However, we...
- This is... - This is interesting.
My wife loves drinking.
She loves drinking and drinks a lot.
None of my friends surpassed my wife...
in drinking.
- My goodness. - That's how much she likes drinking.
Does she make any mistakes after drinking?
First of all, everyone else passes out.
Even if she makes a mistake, no one would no because she's the only one conscious.
- They're all passed out so... - Everyone else...
never witnessed her completely drunk.
- That's amazing. - Amazing.
You're amazing.
I'm always so stressed.
It's not that my husband talks to me.
I don't get to talk to my two sons often either.
Why else would I depend on alcohol?
- It's so stifling. - Right, you drink at home.
- Right. - Do you drink alone?
- Sometimes I drink alone. - You drink alone when you're alone.
Sometimes I invite my friends and drink together.
The problem is that she doesn't even do anything bad after drinking.
If she's healthy when she drinks,
it's alright if she drinks. Can't you allow that?
- Right. - Was there any incident which made you prohibit her?
I don't prohibit her for no reason.
The reason is because a few years ago,
I went clubbing because there was a gathering with my friends.
I was sitting there, and saw a very familiar woman approaching.
I saw a very familiar woman approaching.
(My goodness.)
A waiter was taking her somewhere.
(A waiter held her hand and was taking her somewhere.)
(She's bewildered.)
My goodness.
- A waiter was taking her and three other woman from the neighborhood. - Your wife?
- This is interesting. - That's funny.
They were all in a line.
She looked so familiar, and her eyes met mine.
That's why I...
thought this can't go on.
(He decided not to let her out after that.)
I thought that I had to make her stay at home.
(What's wrong with our parents?)
Were you surprised?
- You must been very surprised. - She must have been.
- Of course. - I thought I was getting a heart attack.
I really went there once.
- Tell us the details. - I went there with my friends from the supermarket.
- I only went there once. - With your friends from the supermarket?
- Yes. - The waiters always take you somewhere.
- When I was there... - Does your husband go clubbing often?
- He goes there often. - What?
I saw the receipt.
It said, "Roman Night." There found a lot of receipts.
I don't go there often.
When I drink... That place has good music.
That place has good music.
- The music is good? - The music's good.
Please continue the music.
- Do you do this? - Shake hands.
- Behind you. - Behind you.
(The night lovers meet each other.)
I don't dance well. However, he's a good dancer.
I'm not good at dancing.
We're both married.
He has a family as well. You went there often.
- However, it's okay for you. - I went there to enjoy the music.
- Music... - He went there for the music. Why did you go?
- Stress... - I went there for the music too. I went there to dance.
You went there to get a date.
- I mean... - He's sulking.
He's sulking.
- You two love each other. - Help them.
Have you ever thought about why your wife drinks alone so much?
Have you ever wondered why?
Because she likes drinking, I tried to converse with her.
However, there's nothing much to talk about.
She doesn't even tell me why she drinks.
He watches television...
while drinking, so it's as if I'm drinking alone.
How can we talk about then?
- Right. You don't know what to do. - I tell him I'm lonely.
He says, "Why are you lonely?"
"You just need to clean the house and give the kids snacks."
- How can you say that? - He didn't even try.
- This is... - I not a good conversationalist.
- If I say one thing, he says ten things. - Right.
He cuts me off when I want to talk.
- You two have different perspectives. - I can't talk.
I think I'm going to tear up.
Last year...
It was at around October, when I was still working at the supermarket.
I hit my chest on a cart.
My chest hurt so much when I was sleeping.
- I told my husband that my chest hurt. - The cart?
He told me to eat muscle-pain medicine. He told me it was phlegm.
I ate the medicine for a month.
- I couldn't stand it because it hurt so much. - You had a fracture.
- I went to the hospital and... - Did you have a fracture?
- Yes, my ribs were broken. - How many?
Three ribs were broken.
- You found that out after a month? - Yes.
- My goodness. - I told my husband I need to get hospitalized.
He said, "Where should my wife go? You should stay at home."
He said that he'll take care of me.
When I asked him if he'll do a good job, he said that he will.
In two days, after, he came home drunk...
at 4am.
Even though his wife was sick,
he came home like a patient because he was drunk.
I brought him water...
and would lie beside him.
I cried so much because it broke my heart.
- Why didn't you hospitalize her? - You should have.
It's not that she was going to get a surgery.
Her bones would heal if she stays still.
I told her that she should lie down at home comfortably instead of the hospital.
I told her that I'll take good care of her.
That time, I was so drunk... I never... I don't remember.
Before you were drunk, did you ever think of your sick wife?
Did you ever think that you had to take care of her because her ribs were broken?
Normally, you would stop yourself from drinking with those thoughts.
I thought she would get well if she stays still.
However, housekeepers...
endure pain. They don't really go to the hospital.
It's not just because of money, but time as well.
The family really needs to focus on...
saying some warm words to her.
Saying a few words of encouragement is very important.
That's what she missed.
I...
had depression, so I took medication.
I asked my husband...
- to take counseling with me. - You told him.
However, he said he doesn't have any problems.
He said that I had the problem and that he didn't.
He said he didn't need to get counseling.
I wasn't sure if I should go on living like this.
I don't know who I am in my family.
- You don't have joy. - I don't have the joy of living.
- This is... - I have no thoughts.
Who do you think you are in your family?
Me? I think I'm just a housekeeper...
- or a doll. - Someone they need for convenience.
- Do you think you're loved? - No, I don't think I'm loved.
I'm just a housekeeper.
Who is your husband to you...
- at the moment? - He's someone who sleeps in the master bedroom.
He's someone who sleeps in the master bedroom.
- Someone who sleeps in the master bedroom? - Yes.
Did you...
know that your wife thought of you this way?
I heard it the first time today. I'm shocked.
- Were you shocked? - Yes.
You did everything because you loved your wife, right?
Yes, of course I did that because I loved her.
If I didn't love her, I would have just ignored her.
Because I loved her,
I tried to help her stay on the right path.
However, she said it was stifling for her.
I'm distressed as well.
Who is your wife to you?
I don't think I can live without her.
You don't usually tell her that, right?
- I've never expressed that. - You didn't express it.
Please tell your husband what you want exactly.
I wish you can encourage me. If I...
am drinking, then I want you to say, "Did you have a hard time today?"
- I want you to say warm words. - You want him to listen to what you'll say?
- Yes. - I'll listen to you.
In the past, your wife... Please mix up the drinks.
Please mix the drinks.
What would you have said to your wife if she was drinking alone?
What are you doing? Are you drinking again?
You would have been angrier and wanted to drink more, right?
- I would drink more. - Right.
- She would increased the alcohol level. - Now, what should you do?
Please tell him what's the proper way, Dong-yeob.
Tell him the skills of conversation.
If she was drinking alone, I would say,
"Why are you drinking alone?"
"You should have called me and told me to come home earlier."
- "Let's drink together. How much did you drink?" - Right.
"What didn't you eat? Why are you only eating this?"
"You should have told me buy some good food."
- Right. - How is it?
- Look. - She's about to cry.
My goodness. It's not that even great.
- My goodness. She's crying at Dong-yeob's nonsense. - Seriously...
- My goodness... - A kind word like that...
"If you're going to keep drinking alone,"
"I'll go to Roman Night."
(Dong-yeob concludes with wit.)
- We were surprised as well. It's nothing big. - Right.
- I'm not sure. - I think the husband...
feels sad...
- after seeing his wife cry. - He must be distressed.
I feel sad when I see my wife cry.
Alright. Let's try it again.
She wants you to share your feelings with her.
- You're drinking. - Mix the soju.
Mix the soju.
(Snap)
Only experts can do this.
- Honey, you're drinking right now. - I think there's a lot of soju.
- You just came home. - Were you drinking?
Why are you drinking alone?
I'll blend a drink for you.
- Let's drink together. - Great job.
If we tell him that, he'll be saying that for 365 days of the year.
Why are you drinking alone? I'll blend a drink for you.
- Right. - I'll blend a drink for you.
It's delicious. Can I have one more?
I said I'll just blend one drink for you.
- You can't do that. - Because...
The point isn't blending a drink for her. You have to ask her why.
Why are you drinking? What's the problem?
We heard your husband here.
- How is it? Are you relieved? - Yes.
- Is your anger relieved? - Yes.
You two should have reconciled at home. Why did you come all the way here?
It's not that hard to say that. It doesn't cost money or anything.
Please tell your children what you wanted to say.
Don't just listen to your father.
Don't ignore me, okay?
Don't take after your father.
- Please say a few words to your husband. - Okay?
Honey.
I hope I can go travel...
for a two days and one night, just like my other friends.
I want to travel once.
I really hope you can give me some free time...
at least two days a month.
(I hope you can give me some free time.)
Alright. Hee-kyeoung.
I'm glad that you two were able to open your hearts to talk about this issue today.
- You may not be able to talk about this at home. - Of course.
However, because there were other witnesses here,
you two were able to talk with advocacy.
It was great to see you two like that today.
- It is an issue. - You pressed it.
- However, you think things will be resolved after today? - Yes.
- Jeong-han? - I think it's an issue.
I also think it's an issue.
I also think it's important for...
- the sons to put in some effort. - Right.
- The sons have to try. - I came up to Seoul from Jejudo Island as a trainee.
I always regretted not being nice to my parents while I was with them.
Don't take your mother's sacrifice for granted.
I don't know why I'm like this.
- It happens when you're here. - Right.
- I... - No...
- They... - They probably don't know yet.
They probably don't know yet. However,
don't make your personality as an excuse.
You should try talking to your mother even though it's hard.
You should try doing the laundry.
You should try washing the dishes. You have to put in effort.
Seung-kwan, you lied about your age, right?
- You're our age, right? Why are you so mature? - I...
You think the wife had a hard time,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- Five, four... - Five, four...
- Three, two... - Three, two...
- One. Alright. - One. Alright.
Please say anything you want to your wife.
I don't think I understood you.
I'll try to converse with you often.
I'll do my best.
If you can just drink less,
I'll let you go out more often.
You two should obey us.
You two should listen to your mother especially. Alright?
You should encourage her as well.
Honey, you're very pretty.
Even though you're not slim, you're cute.
That's alright.
- That's alright. - Why are you speaking in the Seoul dialect?
I love you, honey.
Older son, say something to your mother.
I'll try my best not to make you feel lonely.
I hope you can drink a little less.
I hope you can...
- do your own things, Dad. - What about you?
I'll also do things myself.
Alright.
- What about the second son? - I love you, Mom.
I love you, Mom.
(He has no emotion to the end.)
I think the youngest one has the least stress.
Let's see how many votes she received.
Please show us the votes.
- Alright. A hundred... - 142?
She will win if she gets 142 votes.
(She received 142 votes. She is now the current winner.)
"I Didn't Ask, So I'm Not Curious."
"Hello, I'm a female employee who works at a donkatsu restaurant."
When I went in for my interview, he said,
(Let's see.)
"If you work here,"
"will you be a good listener?"
"Of course, I'll listen to everything you say."
"All right. You can start tomorrow."
- He's cool. - I didn't know that short conversation...
would drive me crazy.
"Did I tell you about this?"
"Last week, I went to play basketball and there were other people..."
"at the basketball court."
"I invited them to play a game and we did..."
"Sir, we're behind on our orders so could we talk later?"
"You said you'd be a good listener at the interview!"
- Is this what this is about? - "Listen up. Last weekend,"
"I went to play basketball and we played a game with another team."
My boss says things I never asked him about.
- He talks about himself nonstop when we don't want to know. - That's what this is.
- That must be tiring. - "Sir, I need to go to the restroom."
"Where do you think you're going when I'm talking? Hold it in until I'm done."
"So after the match" On top of this,
"Did I tell you? When I was in high school, I went to a hair salon..."
"I know. You went with your friend and the hairdresser..."
"said you were handsome while cutting your friend's hair. I know that story."
- He already told them? - He repeats the same story over and over again.
Now, I can memorize his stories off by heart.
My colleagues and I are writing in with the same wish.
Sir, please stop talking.
(Sir, please stop talking.)
Do you know someone like him?
We have a member in our group...
called Dino. He's our youngest member.
He's not chatty but he worries a lot,
so he keeps asking us for advice.
"Which one looks best?"
He keeps asking us because he wants to do his best.
- Just say anything looks good. - "What do you think?"
"I think this is better." "That's it. I think so too."
- Right. - I see.
Do as Dong-yeob says.
Let's bring out our guest. Please come on out.
Hello
(Which guest is worn out by a chatty boss?)
(Chun Gang-Myung)
Welcome
Tell us how chatty he is.
- He tells us every little detail of his day... - "I did this and that and that."
He tells us all about his past, present and future.
He says he was handsome in the past...
- and looked like Won Bin. - I see.
- When he... - That's your boss, right?
- That's your boss, right? - Yes.
- Gosh, he must be out of his mind. - Which part...
- looks like Won Bin? - He's lost it.
- He looks nothing like Won Bin. - Right.
You have to get him to understand.
Just say, "Oh, I see. Okay."
- You could answer halfheartedly and pretend to listen. - Right.
I'd like to do that but he keeps asking questions.
"Where was I?"
- "What did I just say?" - He checks if you're listening.
- He says he'll do a quiz to check, too. - A quiz?
When we don't know the answer to his question,
he starts the story all over again.
- He doesn't think you paid attention? - Yes.
- If you don't answer, he repeats himself? - That's tough.
- Does he talk about his life like it's a lecture? - Yes.
- Does he talk to you like that when you're working? - Yes.
We work in a donkatsu restaurant...
- so we have to tenderize the meat, cut up cheese... - Right.
and we all have to work together.
However, he's too busy talking...
so I have to do all of his work as well.
- You won't be able to focus, too. - He must be really chatty.
How many people work there?
Including myself, there are eight people in total.
That's quite a few.
- You work in shifts, right? - They're mostly part-timers.
Does he chat to all eight of you?
He repeats the exact same story to every single person.
- We're all suffering. - Oh, dear.
- It's the same story. - Did people quit because of him?
Yes. As far as I know, about 10 people quit because of him.
- Because they were fed up with him chatting? - Yes.
Maybe he lets them go because they know all about his life.
- He wants a new person to educate. - Maybe.
- I think that's likely. - "You may leave as you know everything."
So they know all about his life by the time they leave.
- Right. They know about his future too. - It's engraved into their brains.
They could also spread the word.
- "My boss did this and that in the past." - I think that's what he wants.
- He wants to spread word about his life. - Yes.
Let's meet the boss. Hello.
Hello.
- It's the not-so-much Won Bin lookalike. - Sir.
Do you really ask interviewees...
if they are willing to listen to you?
- The biggest part of the job... - Is the biggest part listening to you?
- There are two tasks. Cooking... - Yes.
and listening to me.
You said you looked like Won Bin when you were young.
Where did that person go?
- I don't say I look like him myself. - Yes.
- This was when "Autumn in My Heart" was being aired. - Okay.
I was waiting for my friend to get his hair cut...
and I don't know if the hairdresser said it to me to make me get a haircut...
That's what it was.
The hairdresser just wanted more customers.
So why do you keep chatting and not doing any work?
Even if you want to talk, you should work as well.
I'm not good at multitasking.
- So... - Then you shouldn't talk.
- You shouldn't talk then. - Your chattiness is interfering with work.
This is what I don't get.
Fine, you can talk,
but why do you keep checking in between?
- When we get new people working with us, - Yes.
- they all listen well at the start. - Of course.
- Of course they listen. - Of course.
- Of course they'll listen. - They need their jobs.
They're interested at first as my life story is quite entertaining.
- He says it's entertaining. - They all listen well...
but once they settle into the restaurant, they just take it as background noise.
That makes it boring for me.
If they're not concentrating on me, I call them over...
and ask, "What was I talking about?"
- None of them can answer to that. - Right.
Then I start over again.
(He starts from the beginning.)
- That's not fair. - It's torture.
You talk about yourself and ask them what it was about.
"You said you went to a hair salon and someone said you look like Won Bin."
That's what you want.
- Doesn't that sound strange, though? - It does.
Why do you do that?
It's fun to watch them get flustered...
- when I catch them off guard. - It's fun?
Sir, if your employees are frustrated enough to come here,
I think they have half a mind to quit.
Is there a special reason they don't? Do you do something for them?
When we close up at 10pm,
I always drive the ones that close up with me to their homes.
- You drive them home? - You drop them off?
Those days are the worst.
Those are the worst?
- Those are the worst. - Does he chat nonstop while driving?
- Why? - He wears them out enough at work. They don't want that after work.
It takes me 30 minutes to get home after work...
but when he drives me home, it takes at least an hour.
- Why? - Does he get lost because he's too busy talking?
- He must drive really slowly. - He drives us...
to where he...
first kissed his girlfriend,
- where they first held hands, - Why does he do that?
- Does he take you to his favorite spots? - He takes...
- me to all his favorite spots. - It's a tour of his past love life.
- He tells you everything in such detail? - Yes.
- That's impossible! - We have to stop at each spot, too.
- You have to get off the car? - You visit each spot?
What do you do there?
"Come and look. This is where I had my first kiss."
- "This is where we held hands." He does that? - "Stand here."
- "Stand here." Like that? - Yes.
- We also go to places they used to eat together. - After work, you should go home.
I really want to go home and rest...
- but he takes me around. - This is an ex-girlfriend, right?
- How many years ago was this? - What's ridiculous is they broke up 12 years ago.
- They broke up 12 years ago. - 12 years?
Goodness, 12 years?
- What's that about? - He broke up 12 years ago.
- The employees... - If he broke up 12 years ago,
- He's not over her. - that means he's been telling this story for 12 years.
- Look, Sir. - Yes?
Why do you go on about a girl you broke up with 12 years ago?
She was my first love and I haven't met anyone since.
- You haven't dated? - Yes. Also,
that's the most entertaining out of all my stories.
- The story of your first love? - How much detail do you go into?
Is it like, "This is where we first held hands."
"That's where we kissed and over there, we..." How much do you tell them?
Goodness.
How long did you date this woman for?
- We dated for 2 years and 4 months. - I see.
Are you still not over her?
No, I'm fine.
- Are you over her? - Yes, I am.
- Then why do you keep going on about her? - I'm just bringing up fond memories.
- Fond memories? - Yes.
Just get rid of such memories.
- Get rid of them. - Right?
Do you think your employees...
enjoy listening to your stories?
They seem to enjoy listening to them.
Have you ever asked them if they enjoyed your stories?
I can tell from their faces.
- We all think like that... - Look at Gang-myung's face.
- Look at her. - If you say the same thing more than twice,
people get sick of it.
- It's brainwashing. - Your employees are here...
so let's talk to them.
- Hello, I'm Park Da-hee and I've been a part-timer for eight months. - Okay.
- Hello, I'm Chae Gyu-bin and I've been a part-timer for six months. - Okay.
A lot of people came today.
Hello, I'm Cho Ye-ji and I've been a part-timer...
- They don't last over a year. - for two months.
So 3 more employees came here today so we have 4 here in total.
- Let's talk... - How about that man?
You look like a long-term employee.
Are you an employee too?
Take the mic and please introduce yourself.
- I'm Kim Seung-eon, an old friend of Sung-soo's. - You're a friend. I see.
All right. As for the employees,
raise your hand if you enjoy...
listening to your boss' stories.
Then who doesn't enjoy them?
(I don't enjoy my boss' stories.)
Who's fed up with them?
(Stay still.)
- His friend raised his hand, too. - He did.
Even his friend raised his hand.
What's the story he repeats the most?
He seems to talk about his ex-girlfriend the most.
I worked here for eight months...
and stories about her seem endless.
That's how I felt.
I also think I heard stories about his ex-girlfriend the most.
- You must have shared a lot of memories with her. - Right.
- How about Ye-ji? - I also think that's the story I heard the most.
- When we're working, stories about his ex-girlfriend... - This is unbelievable.
is the most talked-about topic.
Let me give you a quiz.
- All of you can answer simultaneously. - This is interesting.
(What quiz?)
What's the name of the bar he and his girlfriend first drank together?
In 1, 2, 3.
- Mom's Face. - Mom's Face.
- This is fun. - In 1, 2, 3.
- Mom's Face. - Mom's Face.
(He's very pleased.)
- This is fun. - Where did the couple...
break up? In 1, 2, 3.
- Myeong-dong. - Myeong-dong.
Ask them another question.
- Ask another one. - Where did they first kiss?
Where did they kiss for the first time? In 1, 2, 3.
The park in front of his girlfriend's house.
They know so well. Even though the boss hasn't told us about his past relationship,
I think we can learn everything from what they can tell us.
- Let's tell the story in turns. - Let's tell the story in order.
Let's do a relay starting from here. Please begin.
On March 4th, 2002, my boss...
first met his girlfriend at an academy where he studied to go to college.
- She knows everything. - His girlfriend...
was the prettiest girl in that academy...
and my boss fancied her.
He used to leave a soft drink on her desk every day...
and run away.
- She's so detailed. - She knows all the details.
"He used to run away."
In the park in front of his girlfriend's house, @@@@@@
He told her he had a crush on her. However, he was rejected.
You even know how he was rejected for the first time?
- Alright. - This is very interesting.
After he was rejected,
they stayed as friends for two months.
At around August, our boss...
confessed his love to her at hanok village while crying.
That's how they started to date.
- At first, it is interesting. - Right? It's amusing to hear.
- It's amusing to hear. - It's very detailed.
He confessed his love to her at hanok village while crying.
- Hanok village... - What happened after that?
- Fifty days after he started dating... - Hanok village.
he had his first kiss.
As you can see, he has a lot of beard.
He was slapped on the cheek after he had his first kiss.
- He was slapped. - He was slapped because of his beard?
What happened after that?
This is when they broke up.
- On December 26, 2014... - They know the exact dates.
They went to Myeong-dong the day after Christmas.
However, boss matriculated in university after a year.
He told his girlfriend that he'll take the College Scholastic Ability Test again.
His girlfriend decided to break up, and that's how he got dumped.
- My goodness... - This is...
Is this all true?
I think he's proud.
My great employees.
How many times did you tell the story? They know the date, time,
- and location. - This is interesting.
How do you feel? Do you really feel proud?
I feel a bit proud.
- You're touched? - They have been well-informed.
- They have been well-informed. - Well-informed.
I'm curious.
Do you only talk this much to your employees...
or do you do that to your friends as well?
- I think the friend would know better. - It's a serious story.
I went to the same high school as him.
He was famous for talking a lot.
I listened to him talking a lot.
At elementary school,
he had a separate seating arrangement near the teacher's desk.
He had a separate seating arrangement because he was so talkative.
- That's hilarious. - He sat beside the teacher.
When he was in middle school...
There are times when he doesn't talk.
However, when the teacher asked, "Who spoke?," and no one came out,
then he would tell my friend to come out.
- Even though he didn't talk? - Yes, he would have to go out.
- He would go out. - He's the talkative one, no matter what.
Were you ever put in a difficult situation or get in trouble...
because of your friend?
I'm was in a relationship.
I broke up when I was young.
I met up with my friend after the breakup because I was sad.
I cried, because I was young.
- I cried... - That's possible.
However, he would tell that story to everyone he meets.
- My goodness. - You can't do that.
He has a light mouth.
I can take that because they're all my friends.
However, I have a social position as well.
- Social position... - That's who I am.
When I go over to his restaurant,
he would tell his employees, "He's the guy who cried,"
even though I met them for the first time.
Everyone knows about me.
Do all four employees know him?
- Yes. - You know about his breakup?
Your friend may have things he wants to hide.
Do you make that into the topic of your conversations?
My friend comes over to my restaurant often.
I'm worried that my friend and the employees would feel awkward and uncomfortable.
- We're not uncomfortable at all. - Why would they be uncomfortable?
It'll be good if they laugh.
I thought that it'll be good if I tell them his embarrassing moments.
The employees can laugh.
If he's okay,
- can you tell us how he broke up? - Should I?
- If that friend is okay with it. - I don't think this can be aired.
- Please tell us a little. - He has to agree.
Of course.
However, there's too much. Which one are you going to talk about?
- Did that happen? - My goodness.
- A painful story. - Can you tell us the least embarrassing story?
Alright, you can go ahead.
All the girls he met...
cheated on him.
Cheated on him.
The girls cheated on him.
My goodness. This isn't a mediocre story.
It's very embarrassing.
He's... Right now...
- The least embarrassing story. - We asked for the least embarrassing story,
so the friend agreed, even though he wasn't sure what you'll say.
However, he says, "All the girls he met cheated on him."
We just asked for one.
(I have a social position as well.)
Is there anything you want to complain about?
Each of you can mention your complaint.
If we don't respond when he talks...
If we don't listen to him, he'll pinch us and kick our bottoms.
If an employee doesn't respond or react to his story, then...
he'll tell that employee to do all kinds of tasks.
Why do you kick their bottoms?
I only hit him.
- He speaks in a way that makes me mad. - How?
If I ask, "Are you listening to me?," then he says,
"Yes."
(He's asking for a punch.)
He speaks in a dislikable way?
I think he's trying to tease me.
Our boss really likes talking about himself.
- However, he doesn't listen to other people talk. - Right.
I just want to say that we don't have good communication...
- with each other. - It's hard for you guys to communicate.
- Does your friend have any complaints? - Please say something as well.
It's good that you try to be funny.
However, you don't need to use my story.
Just talk about yourself.
If so, why don't you listen to others?
That's not true. I'm a good listener.
If the other person doesn't think so, you're not a good listener.
However, I remember everything.
- My goodness. - Can you tell us about them?
Can you tell us what you know about the employees?
As for Gang-myeong,
her parents have a funny love story.
Why do you like love stories that much?
- He's a romantic. - So what about it?
Her mother is six years older than her father.
Her mother was a police officer.
- Her father was... - A suspect?
He was a conscripted police officer.
I'm sorry.
(It's okay.)
A conscripted police officer's dream is to meet a female police officer as a wife.
She was his senior.
- You do know everything. - What about the employee next to you?
- He remembers. - The one who worked for eight months...
- Da-hee...
has an eight year old sibling who was born much later.
My first question for Da-hee when she comes to the restaurant is...
"Did you take good care of Yo-han well?"
If she did, do you say, "Do you want to hear my story?"
I did my duty.
What about the male employee who's been working for six months?
He broke up with his girlfriend two months ago.
Why did he break up?
Don't you think it's because of his face?
I don't think you deserve to say that.
What about the employee next to him?
She's a twin.
Her older twin went to a College of Physical Education.
She was disqualified, so she studied another year.
- The employees need to communicate well... - There's something more important.
There's something more important.
She never dated before.
- Right. - You didn't need to say that when we cut you off.
- He's starting... - He's saying he at least dated once.
He's saying he at least dated once.
She never dated before.
- Why did you tell us that? - How should I say this?
The most important point was that she never dated before.
- You had to say that. - We had to listen to all that before you said that.
Your boss seems to know a lot about the employees.
After he talks about himself, if there's anything he wants to know about us,
- then he asks. He only remembers that. - So...
He searches for something funny...
- and after remembering that, he tells others. - Yes, he's using it.
- Everything he said just now are funny stories. - Right.
Her mother is older than her father.
Have you ever listened to the inner hurts of your employees?
I don't have the capacity to listen to that.
- You don't have enough time because you talk about yourself. - If so...
Please say anything you want to your boss...
now that you're hear. Go ahead.
These days, I feel most peaceful when you don't come to the restaurant.
Are there days he doesn't come out?
- He comes out a bit late at times. - Late.
I feel proud when I'm working in the restaurant.
- You are? - Yes. I want to learn more recipes.
I also want to learn how to run a business.
You don't tell me the important things. You just tell me the useless things.
You only talk about your personal stories.
We only have a short break time.
I hope you can let us rest.
- Break time? - Right.
You ask us to play basketball when you want to play.
You ask us to go to the coin karaoke rooms to sing together.
There were so many times I wanted to go home because I was so tired.
Did you know that your employee was having these thoughts?
- I didn't. - I did, but he forgot.
You did, but he forgot.
- You did... - If so...
You should start speaking less if your employee is thinking of quitting.
As I mentioned before,
I ask them during the interviews.
- I tell them that's part of the work. - Part of the work.
If the work gets busier,
then I think I can speak less.
- What if the work doesn't get busier? - If it doesn't, I'll probably speak more.
What if she quits?
She can't quit...
- I mean... - She can't?
- I'm going crazy... - If he...
- If he gets a girlfriend, maybe he'll be less focused on the employees. - Right.
What do you think?
I think he'll have more stories to talk about.
- He'll talk about his girlfriend. - Right.
- The love stories... - Alright. What do you think? Is it an issue?
I don't think it's an issue.
I don't think it'll be a very big issue if you take it lightly.
I'm positive that you guys can solve it.
- It's an issue. - An issue.
I think the employees have...
suffered too much. I just want you to know that.
- That's why I think it's an issue. - I think it's an issue as well.
It's good to talk, but it's better to work together and...
resolve the conflict.
If you think it's an issue, press the button.
Press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- Alright. Four, three... - Four, three...
- Two, one. - Two, one. Alright.
- They're pressing so much. - Why?
- Why are they pressing so much? - Right.
- I think so many people pressed. - This...
Can you seriously talk less?
Right.
During the peak times, I'll try to speak less...
and focus on the work. I had that thought while listening to them.
- The break time as well. - Listen to them.
During the break times, I'll go out.
- Someone else will be suffering somewhere. - Good.
(He'll make others suffer outside.)
- The boss next door. - Let us...
work with each other for a long time...
and do our best together.
How many votes do you expect out of 200 votes?
- I think I'll get about 50 votes. - My goodness.
- I'm going crazy. - I don't think you're sensitive.
- He's not sensitive. - The sound was enormous.
- I mean... - Let us see how many votes you got.
Please show us.
(The results are revealed.)
- Seven. - Seven.
- It's over 100. - 147.
- A hundred and forty-seven. - 147.
Isn't it 157?
- It's 127. - 127.
(She received 127 votes.)
The winner this week is "No! No!"
We will give the winner a prize to root for their issues to be solved.
Congratulations.
Until the day we are all issue-free...
Hello will continue to counsel you.
