This is Hello, the National Competition on Issues.
- It's our first show of 2017. - Yes.
To all the viewers,
- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.
Happy New Year!
Let's meet today's guests.
She's a talented actress with an attractive smile, actress Shin So-yul.
Hello.
He's an intelligent...
and well-mannered man from China, Zhang Yu'an.
- He's handsome. - Welcome.
Since it's 2017, is there anything that you want to forget about?
- I usually played roles as a young woman. - Younger than your age?
Yes. I wasn't able to act in a role that was right for my age.
- Tae-joon is six years younger than me. - Yes.
- Were you lovers? - We were lovers in a drama.
- She is such a meaningful person to me. - Why?
- I shot a kiss scene with her for the first time. -Yes, he did.
- There he is. - He looks serious.
- This is embarrassing. - They're about to kiss.
Look at his eyes.
Who kisses with their eyes open like that?
- That was in the middle of Gangnam Station. - Yes.
- In the middle of Gangnam Station? - Yes.
That's nice.
When singers came out as guests,
- they introduced their new songs and danced. - They sang songs.
But since we have two actors today,
why don't you show us your kiss scene?
I think that will be a good idea.
We can't really kiss here,
- but I can explain how to make a kiss look deep. - Tell us.
I'll use my hand...
- and block the camera slightly. - Block the camera.
Then I'll turn her head like this.
It looks like we're having a deep kiss.
Yu'an, can you do that? Let's try it.
- You and me? - Yes.
We can do it with the right angle.
- Try it with Yeong-ja. - Okay.
- Like this? - Lean forward.
Use your hand and turn her head.
- Block the camera. - Turn her head the other way.
Use your hand and turn her head.
- Block the camera. - Turn her head the other way.
(Their lips are about to touch.)
(Kissing)
(Tae-gyun pushed her from behind.)
(Top keyword, Yu'an and Yeong-ja's kiss)
(This has to be a dream.)
You told me to push you.
You should've pushed me earlier.
You pushed when my lips weren't at the right spot.
I heard that Yu'an's wish came true when he came out on our show today.
- I heard it from the staff. - Yes.
- What was it? - People frequently asked about...
- my ideal type. - Ideal type?
They asked me what my ideal type was.
It's Yeong-ja.
- I said it was Yeong-ja. - Why?
Most Chinese people grow up as an only child.
I was used to eating alone since I was a child.
- I saw her eating once. - That's your ideal type?
I think if I eat with her, it'll make me happy.
- What was I eating? - Jokbal.
(I'll make you happy.)
(You won't have anything to eat.)
I want to meet this type of woman.
I see.
What about your ideal type in looks?
Mentally, I want to meet someone like Yeong-ja.
Physically, I like Han Ga-in.
(Hitting)
(He's firm about his ideal type.)
That was fun for a moment.
Let me introduce our issue. "Toilet Prince."
- "I'm a Korean traditional pipe player in my 20s." - A pipe?
"Let me introduce my peculiar roommate."
"He's my college friend who's tall with emotional eyes."
"He always buys a vanilla latte from a cafe..."
"and crosses his legs in a sexy way..."
"and enjoys his vanilla latte."
"The problem is, he always drinks it while he's sitting on the toilet."
"Sitting on the toilet."
That's why it's "Toilet Prince."
Something unbelievable will happen soon.
Don't switch the channel and keep watching till the end.
Please keep watching.
"He goes into the bathroom and doesn't come out for hours."
"When my patience is up, I open the door..."
"and he's eating cereal with milk."
- In the bathroom? - Why?
"He also eats kimbap and sandwiches."
- Oh my gosh. - "He eats everything while he's sitting on the toilet."
"But there's something more disgusting."
"He poops and eats, and poops and eats again."
(Oh my goodness)
"Eating and pooping, pooping and eating."
"Eating and pooping continuously."
"That's not all."
"He plays games and watches movies."
(Humming)
- A pipe? - He sits on the toilet and plays the daegeum.
(Playing the daegeum!)
- Oh my gosh. - That doesn't sound bad.
- "How can I bring him out of the bathroom?" - This is so funny.
- "Please help me." - Oh my goodness.
(Please bring my friend out of the bathroom.)
- Wow. - When I first heard it,
I thought it might be possible if the bathroom had good lighting.
But I cant understand "Eating and pooping."
- That's not easy. - "Eating and pooping?"
- You eat and poop, eat and poop. - Yes.
How can you eat kimbap in there?
I can understand cereal.
- But kimbap is too much. - Why is cereal acceptable?
- Why is that all right? - What?
- It's not all right. - It's easy to eat.
- Let's meet our guest. - Why do they live together?
Let's bring out our guest!
(Let's meet our guest who's worried about his friend living in the bathroom.)
(Kim Geum)
Welcome.
(Nice to meet you.)
Let's start with a light topic.
- Okay. - Something light.
Most people take about 30 to 40 minutes in the bathroom.
But my friend takes one hour and a half...
- to two hours. - Does he have constipation?
No, I'm more constipated them him.
- He needs to hold it in. - You can't go.
If he goes in, there's no time for me.
My friend plays the daegeum.
It's okay if he plays it during the day,
but he plays at midnight in a studio flat.
He plays at 2 or 3 at midnight. He doesn't care what time it is.
When I'm sleeping,
he calls my name.
He plays the daegeum and says, "Isn't this a killer song?"
I really want to kill him.
There's more.
I opened the door because he didn't come out for so long.
This might look weird.
- Can I show you what position he was in? - Okay.
- You're very enthusiastic. - I went in...
and he was sitting in this position.
(Crossing his legs)
Like this.
He was naked.
- Even his shirt? - Totally naked.
- Why? - He was totally naked.
- What about his legs? - He was crossing his legs.
He crosses his legs while he's relieving himself?
- That's impossible. - It might come out sideways.
It won't come out properly.
People usually defecate and urinate at the same time.
- It really might come out sideways. - Yes.
- I would like to... - This is so dirty.
- apologize to our viewers. - We're talking about poop on New Years.
Considering the topic of this issue,
we need to have a more detailed talk about this.
We hope you can understand.
What's the other issue besides eating and living in the bathroom?
Although we live together, we talk through a door.
My friend drinks coffee and uses his phone in the bathroom.
It's like talking on-line.
- Even though we live together. - At the same house?
- This sounds crazy. - Do you go outside to use the bathroom?
- You might have to go somewhere else. - But fortunately,
my college senior lives downstairs.
- Do you go down? - Yes.
My friend tells me to go down and use the bathroom.
- That senior must be frustrated. - I know.
A person who looks like his friend is sitting in the audience.
He looks handsome. Hello.
Hello.
You spend 5 to 6 hours in the bathroom every day.
Since you might be worried, we prepared...
- a toilet just for you. - Really?
(Really?)
- This show is so considerate. - Oh my gosh.
- Oh my goodness. - There's also coffee.
- She's bringing coffee. - Venti size.
(Toilet coming through!)
- But you can't take off your clothes or really use it. - Right.
You can't really poop in there.
Can you get up?
Hold it for him.
Is that more comfortable?
- Some people love sitting on the toilet. - His face turned bright.
- He looks satisfied. - Yes.
(Let's begin.)
That's it!
- That's what we were talking about. - It looks natural.
It looks very natural.
Take your time, since you have coffee.
Cross your legs.
- Is that comfortable? - I like this embossing on the toilet.
- He looks more comfortable. - I'll ask you a straightforward question.
Why do you spend so much time in the bathroom?
- It's a place where I can rest and find peace. - Your own space?
Yes, it's my own space.
But you need to come out if your friend has to go.
Why don't you come out? That's too mean.
- Sometimes it's too hard to hold it in. - Yes.
Why don't you let him come in?
- I don't like the feeling of anything left in my stomach. - For several hours?
I relieve myself and eat again.
- When I eat, it comes out instantly. - It comes out right away.
When I'm about to go out, my stomach sends me signals again.
- That's a bad habit. - I stay in the bathroom for 2 to 3 hours.
Even four hours.
- Four hours? - Oh my gosh.
- What really shocked us... - He just sits in there.
was that you eat and relieve yourself at the same time.
Is that possible? Because it might smell bad.
How is that possible?
I don't think it smells.
- But the smell comes into your nose. - I can't smell it.
- Does it smell like vanilla? - It has to smell.
- Why do you take off your clothes? - I smoke inside the bathroom...
and I don't like the smell getting on my clothes.
- I... - You said you don't stink.
- It's the smell of the cigarette. - Disgusting.
(He keeps giving excuses.)
(Happiness isn't determined by cleanliness.)
He's going in.
What time did he go in, exactly?
It's 3:23am in the morning.
(Video of his actual toilet activities)
(Going inside the bathroom together naturally)
- Are they going to brush their teeth together? - He's going in.
- There's no other way. - I have to sleep.
Right. Even though his friend is doing is business, one must brush his teeth.
- Does this happen often? - It...
(Shall we listen to gukak?)
I'm going crazy. But...
- Did he come out? - The music's nice.
- He asked for his portable battery. - Why?
My goodness... He must listen to music inside.
(Our guest serves his friend.)
- Hey. - What?
Can you give me my instrument bag?
(Can you give me my instrument bag?)
He keeps giving things to him.
He's playing it. Is he playing it?
It's 3 or 4am in the morning.
- He's got the feel. - He must have driven the neighborhood nuts.
- He must have driven them nuts. - Imagine.
Do you hear the sound of daegeum?
(The video ends because the guest went to sleep after 40 minutes.)
(When is he going to come out from there?)
If you play the daegeum inside the bathroom...
- It sounds nice because of the echo. - Right.
- Do you feel happy because of the echo? - Yes.
- Is that so? - Yes. It sounds like I'm better at it.
- It sounds like I'm a virtuoso. - A virtuoso?
Can you show us your daegeum skills?
- Daegeum playing? - Okay.
- I'll play as I usually play. - Sure.
- Go ahead. - Are you crossing your legs?
I'm going to cross my legs.
Play as you usually play.
("Fate" by Lee Sun-hee)
He's got the feel.
(It's fate.)
(Bathroom)
(I cannot resist it.)
- It's nice. - He looks cool.
(You are a gift in my difficult life's journey.)
(I have many things to say, but you will know.)
My poo comes out ceaselessly.
(That was a great piece.)
Alright.
- Please go back to your seat. - It's hilarious how he poos while playing that.
- If it's a studio flat... - It must be very noisy.
- Beside... - People would think there are ghosts at midnight.
I lived with him for two years.
- He does those things and doesn't care. - Why do you do that?
That's why I try to play quiet songs at night.
- Quiet songs? - Quiet songs?
If I hear a banging noise from the other room, I stop playing.
If there's another banging noise,
- You stop playing then? - I stop playing.
- I stop playing after two bangs. - He does have conscience.
- He plays quiet songs at night. - Quiet songs.
Since when did you have this...
- outrageous habit? - Outrageous habit.
I have a younger sister who's a lot younger than me.
When I'm at home, she always annoys me.
I didn't have a time of my own.
- You wanted to escape. - The only place I could go was the bathroom.
My siblings didn't bother me then.
- I would play with my toys there. - In the bathroom?
Yes. I spent time there like that, reading books, too.
- How old were you at that time? You were in Grade... - I was in Grade 1 or 2.
- When you were in Grade 1 or 2? - Yes.
However, you're using the studio flat together with your friend.
Don't you think that your friend must be having a hard time?
I do think that I make him uncomfortable.
However, I found the flat myself. I also pay the rent.
What are you?
- You have no right. - You have no right to say anything.
- So... - You have no right to say anything.
However, I have such a hard time. I take care of the aftermath situations.
You said that when you're in a rush,
you go to your senior's house to use the bathroom.
My friend doesn't open the bathroom door for me, but I'm in a rush.
I would go to my senior's flat downstairs.
- He's not that happy. - Right.
- However, I have no choice, so I use my senior's bathroom. - Right.
- Is the one beside the senior you're talking about? - He must be.
- Hello. - Hello.
He's the one who lent his bathroom?
- How many times a week does he come? - I don't know the exact number, but...
- he comes around three times. - He may have come when the seniors wasn't at home.
- Right. - I did have that feeling.
When someone poos, the seat stays warm.
- It's warm. - Right.
- It's warm. - I...
If I sit down, the seat is supposed to be cold.
- It's warm. - It's warm.
I don't have bidet, but the seat is warm.
I remember that happened once.
- There are people who have sensitive... - Right.
- digestion problems. - It'd be hard.
If they can't go to the bathroom, they can't do anything.
If you can't a bathroom, do you get nervous?
Yes. I would run to my home.
How long do you stay...
in public bathrooms?
The shortest period of time I stay in public bathrooms is about one hour.
- Shortest period of time? - One hour?
- Public bathrooms? - I...
I choose bathrooms that have a lot of stalls,
so that people won't knock.
If you're in a rush, you can go to bathrooms with one or two stalls.
Do you stay there for an hour in those places as well?
I try not to go to those places.
- I have to stay there for a long time. - You've never been there?
- He would go home. - I would take a taxi to go home.
- Let's talk about his army days. - When he was a private,
the senior officer would surveil.
When my friend did the night watch, he would stay at the bathroom for a long time.
- There was a problem. - There was a misunderstanding.
Private, no!
However, the senior officer found him like this.
(I'm pooing. There are no problems, sir.)
Are any inconveniences caused during work?
There are. We have to go out to perform at 10am.
I looked at my watch and found out it was 9:45am.
- Was it 10:45am? - 9:45am.
I told him to hurry up and come out.
I told him that I need to take a shower after him.
He said, "Okay," and...
- took the shower hose, - While sitting down?
turned the water on,
- and started shampooing his hair. He said he can do it. - While sitting down?
- He was telling you not to rush him. - While sitting down?
- Yes. - He looked straight at me.
- He did that while showering? - Yes.
Do you feel the need to go to the bathroom at all times?
I don't feel the need at all times.
Whatever I do, I have to do it to the point I'm satisfied.
- I... - He has that stress.
In order to do that,
I have to spend time in the bathroom before my work.
- If so... - People who are sensitive wouldn't eat before their work.
- They would have to go to the bathroom. - I don't eat during the day.
He mentioned that.
During the day... My first meal begins at 12am.
In the bathroom...
- Your first meal is at 12am in midnight? - Yes.
He gained so much weight. His tummy is huge.
You gained weight because you eat during the night.
I eat at 12am and then at 2am.
- You eat at 2am in the morning? - He keeps eating in the bathroom.
- He can't eat during the day. - I think that's unhealthy.
It's an issue for your friend, but...
it must be an issue for you, too.
Yes. To be honest, I'm most envious of people who can go...
- to the bathroom and come out right away. - It's an issue for him, personally.
- This... - I think he has this mental stress.
- Right. - He can only eat during the night.
- He's worried that something might happen during his work. - He's worried.
- He gets nervous and stressed. - But...
I don't think he can be in a relationship. He has to date in the bathroom.
- Right? - How can a girlfriend understand him going to the bathroom for an hour?
- Of course. - My girlfriend would have a hard time. I did, too.
- At first, I couldn't show that side of me to him. - Right.
For a month, I tried holding it in.
I couldn't take it anymore.
- I asked my girlfriend to understand me going to the bathroom. - I see.
Yes. I asked her to understand that.
Would the date end the moment you head to the bathroom?
Yes. If I come back from the bathroom, it would be time for the last bus.
- If you come back from the bathroom, it would be time for the last bus? - Yes.
My girlfriend lives far away.
Why didn't the girlfriend come together today?
She probably has the most things to complain about.
- Right. - Of course.
She wanted to come here, so she told her parents.
They weren't happy about it because...
- she would come out as a girlfriend dating someone with bathroom issues. - Right.
- We understand. - We understand.
- It's nothing to brag about. Why would you go there? - Right.
That's why we decided to call her.
That's great.
Hello.
- Hello. - How cute. Hello.
Please complain about your boyfriend.
- I have so much complaints. - Oh dear...
I went to a cafe with him once.
My boyfriend said that his stomach hurts again.
I told him to go. However, it was late.
It was almost time for the cafe to close but he was still inside the bathroom.
- That's why... - They had to leave.
- Right. - Did he come out?
He asked the employee to give him more time.
We felt really bad.
I waited for him with all the employees.
I cleaned the cafe together with them.
My goodness...
- My goodness... - My goodness...
You moved the chairs together... You must have a hard time during dates.
When I went to see the movies...
Did he go out in the middle?
He didn't go out in the middle. He went out in the beginning of the movie.
He went to the bathroom because his stomach hurt.
- He came back after the movie ended? - The movie ended.
I was sitting on the couple's seat.
- Goodness... - You were sitting on the couple's seat.
- So... - Couple's seat.
I watched the movie alone.
Don't you feel bad for your girlfriend every time you date?
I feel really bad. I try to put in more effort.
I message her with my phone.
- You message her while in the bathroom? - Yes.
I don't play phone games.
- However, I play games with my girlfriend on the phone. - You guys play together.
You're in the bathroom, and your girlfriend is in the cafe?
- You guys play games together? - That's hilarious.
That's hilarious.
- Your boyfriend is putting in some effort. - Right.
Not at all.
He should just come out quickly.
Is there anything that you want him to work on?
Do you want him to change something about himself?
I have one thing.
He keeps video calling me.
However, he makes noises while pooing.
- He makes noises and says, "I love you."
Is there anything you want to say to your boyfriend?
Honey.
I hope we can watch the movies together.
- What is this? - When you poo,
I hope you won't video call me.
- Come back to Daegu quickly. I miss you. - Oh dear.
- Oh dear. - Thank you.
Your friend is a good friend. You should...
fix your issue here. I don't think you can live well in society. Right?
- I love my friend, so I worry about him. - It's sad.
We're supposed to go to a performance together, but he comes late.
- For others, he's just someone who always arrives late. - He can't say anything.
People think of him that way.
Was there a time when you held it in...
and it ended up in a traumatic incident? Be honest.
Was there a disastrous incident?
- You... - Everyone has that...
I had that incident as well.
It's not weird at all. Anyone can have that incident.
- When I was in Grade 1 or 2. - He was in elementary school.
- At that time... - He had a huge trauma.
I created an accident on my pants with diarrhea.
- Was this at school? - Yes.
I ran home right away.
That must have been a great trauma.
Your friends must have teased you.
There must have been female students as well.
Was that a painful...
- incident for you? - It must have been.
There were many friends like that. One friend did it while playing tug-of-war.
One friend did it while laughing.
Tug-of-war is funny.
While he was playing tug-of-war,
- he really... - He...
(Oh dear...)
- He collapsed. - But...
- Tug-of-war is funny. - He wouldn't get up. I asked him what was wrong.
He said nothing's wrong.
- There are friends who fought through that trauma. - Right.
- Tug-of-war... - It's not me.
(Strong denial is strong acquiescence.)
- But... - Everyone fought through it.
You're not the only one who goes through that.
- Of course. - There are times when...
- that happens, making you sweat. - I have three incidents of that experience.
- It's fine. - Three times.
One time, I was shocked.
I can't say it.
I won't say it.
In order for him not to be embarrassed, you should tell him...
- about your experience. - Should I share my experience?
It happened to me while I was shooting Hello.
When you pee, you fart. I farted.
(He farted.)
(What?)
It felt weird.
- It felt weird. - A guest came.
It felt weird. I couldn't believe it.
(His pants felt very weird.)
(A big weight inside his pants)
(I want to see Mommy.)
I walked two steps and realized what I did.
I went to the bathroom and checked my pants.
(Unbelievable.)
- He wore white pants. - It was a disaster.
If you look at the video that time, I'm wearing white pants at first...
but I change into jeans later.
Search for that video.
After this, we had a break.
He then changed his pants.
(After the opening shoot of Hello...)
(he found his pants full of poo.)
(The victim changed his pants.)
(The only thing that changed was the color of Chan-woo's pants.)
- You have to change your diet. - You have to.
When you go outside, you get nervous,
so you get worried.
Humans aren't like that.
However, you keep thinking of that.
You worry about making an accident while dating.
You create those worries with your mind.
- You actually don't have that problem. - Trust your sphincteral muscles.
- You have to fix that. - Right.
- You can do it. - You can change it.
Chan-woo keeps pooing even now.
I didn't want to say this, but I confessed it because of you.
(Chan-woo sacrificed himself like a martyr.)
(Chan-woo helped his friend.)
Was there a time when you...
Am I going to be obsessed now?
(Am I going to be obsessed now?)
- Am I going to have a trauma now? - No.
You can fight it. I'm serious.
You can fight it.
- You're worse. - It's fine. You can fight it. I'm serious.
- Of course. - Is there anything else you want to say to your friend?
I hope you can decrease your time in the bathroom.
I hope we can work together...
until the day we become experts at our field.
He's a good friend.
Zhang Yu'an?
- I... - Is it an issue?
Yes. I think it's an issue.
If you...
- get older, it may become a greater problem. - Of course.
- I think you have to fix this. - Right.
I think it's an issue as well.
You said you get stressed.
I hope you can fix it quickly. Try getting some help.
Your girlfriend was so cute. She wants you to limit your time.
Because he came out here,
I hope his friends can try to understand him more until he fights it.
If you think this is an issue,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- Five, 4, - 5, 4,
- three, 2, 1. - 3, 2, 1.
- That's it. - I think the button sound is the sound of poo.
Those who pressed the button must have similar experiences.
Let us see...
how many votes he got. Please show us the result.
- "Toilet Prince." - He must have at least 122 votes.
Is it 132?
Is it 122?
(What could it be?)
(He received 152 votes.)
Let's go, toilet prince.
Why are they so happy?
They must all have had the same experience.
To have 152 votes out of 200 means people identify with you.
- You don't need to go through this alone. - Right.
You can talk about this naturally as an adult.
(Accept it as a memory.)
This issue is titled, "That's Enough."
"Hello. I'm a working mom with two kids. I'm in my thirties."
"Each time I have a hard time doing house chores and work, I miss my parent's home."
"It's really hard for me to see my parents."
(It's hard for her to see her parents.)
"Mom, it's me."
"What is it? I'm busy. Hang up."
(Her mother hangs up the phone coldly.)
"Dad, where are you?"
"Hang up. I'm busy."
"Every time I call them, they're at the middle of the ocean."
"My parents are almost 70."
"However, they're mad fans of fishing."
(Her parents fish together?)
"Daughter, I bought a new car today."
"They bought a camping car in order to fish."
- That's cool. - "Hey."
"I bought a boat today." - A boat?
- They're rich. - "They even bought a rubber boat."
- "I'm going crazy because it's not just one parent, but both parents." - It's good.
"I caught 100 hairtails the whole night."
"Have a look."
- "They fished for hairtails all night." - My goodness...
"My mother's fingernails were broken. She bled after getting bitten by hairtails."
"She even got carpal tunnel syndrome, so she had to do a surgery."
- She... - She must have been hurt a lot.
"My wrist. It hurts. However, I can't resist it."
- "I will go fish." - My goodness.
"Why do they fish to the point of hurting themselves?"
"Mom and Dad, please just fish an adequate amount."
(Mom and Dad, please just fish an adequate amount.)
To be honest,
- many people with fishing issues came out here, but never a couple. - Right.
- Right. - There wasn't at all.
Have you ever been obsessed with anything?
- I have a lot of hobbies. People call me multi-otaku. - Multi-otaku?
She has a lot of hobbies. She loves baseball.
- She loves it a lot. - I love baseball. I love watching baseball.
- And? Do you like sports? - I like watching...
- mixed martial arts. - She likes mixed martial arts.
I also like hip-hop.
- Your hobby is watching TV. - No.
I don't watch it through TV. I have to actually go there to watch.
- I have to go there to watch. - You go there yourself?
Do you go to the baseball stadium?
People say I come out more on baseball shows rather than dramas.
- That's how much I go there. - It's because she's a celebrity.
I wholeheartedly agree with doing hobbies.
- Let's welcome our guest. - Welcome.
(Who is the guest who worries about her fishing-crazy parents?)
(Kim Jin-ah)
(Welcome.)
- How did your parents get into fishing? - Both of them.
When they were young, only my Mom...
liked to fish...
- Just your mother? - Your mother only?
- It wasn't your father? - That's cool.
She's special.
- Did your father have another hobby? - What about your father?
My father loved riding motorbikes.
- He's cool. - They know what romance is.
Ever since 7 or 8 years ago,
- she seduced my Dad into fishing. - Your mother?
Now, they always fish.
- Did they really buy a boat and a camping car just for fishing? - Yes.
South Jeolla Province, Mokpo, Yeosu, Shinjido...
- Do they go to all those places? - Yes.
Because they go to all those places,
they use around a thousand dollars a month for transportation.
- Even the oil price... - Yes.
They bought a camping car that cost around tens of thousands of dollars.
In order to camp for around 4 nights and 5 days,
they even installed a solar power generator.
- They're serious. - It cost thousands of dollars.
- It would take around three thousand dollars. - Yes.
They even bought a boat for 5 to 6 thousand dollars.
Recently, they went to a yacht fair.
They saw...
They saw a yacht that cost 80 thousand dollars.
- How much was it? - What?
- A yacht? - 80 thousand dollars?
You're saying they saw it and came back, right?
- They didn't buy it, right? - They didn't.
- No... - If so, what are you worried about?
- They must be rich. - Are you worried about their health?
Are you worried about your inheritance?
- Are you worried that they will use it all up? - If...
- To be honest, they don't buy those things because they're rich. - It'd be worse.
It's because they're really into fishing.
- To do that... - My goodness.
- That's cool. - That's cool.
- The camping car is cool. - That's cool.
- That's cool. - That's cool.
- Look at the solar power. - I want to buy it.
- I want to buy it, too. - There's a mosquito net inside the car.
- Look at that. - It's nice.
It looks cool. I'm jealous.
I would like it if my parents spend time like that.
- Right. - Let's talk with her first.
It seems like they fish in the ocean.
What kinds of fish do they catch?
They catch rockfish, flatfish, trout, cuttlefish, and so forth.
After catching them, they bought a freezer.
- Right. - They would organize it in layers according to the dates they caught them.
(Exclaiming)
- Did they catch all those hairtails? - My goodness.
One of them... The big one would cost 70 to 80 dollars.
- It looks better than those at restaurants. - My goodness.
Hairtails are very expensive.
- Right. - Look at the left.
(Organized by category)
It's trout.
- Look at that. - That's really expensive.
I've never seen a fish drawer like that!
That's really well organized.
But like Tae-gyun said, isn't it nice if your parents...
- have a hobby? - It's a silver hairtail.
My mother is 67, and my father is 70.
They have to think about their age before they go fishing...
- in the sea like that. - On a boat.
That's not easy.
I'm suddenly scared.
When they go out, it usually takes 5 to 7 days.
They go fishing 4 or 5 times a month.
- Almost every week. - You must be worried.
They also sleep in a tent.
- In this cold? - It's too cold these days.
In the summer, there are mosquitoes.
- Yes, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the sea or mountain. - 100 times.
- 60 or 70 times. - 100 times?
- They get bitten that much? - Yes.
- It leaves a rash. - 100 times, 60 times.
70 times. Bang, bang, bang.
You mentioned that your mother was bitten by a hairtail.
- Yes. - Yes, it penetrated her fingernail.
Penetrated?
- Penetrated? - When a hairtail bites,
- it doesn't let go. - Right.
They had to cut the hairtail's mouth with pliers.
It had to be cut open totally.
- It left a wound. I'm worried... - This sounds serious.
that they don't take care of their health.
Let's meet your parents.
Where are you? Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
What a nice couple.
(They look happy.)
You look good together.
Ma'am, your daughter is worried about you. What do you think?
I'm doing something I like,
and I don't understand why she's worried.
From your appearance, you look like you like flowers.
- I agree. - I don't like flowers at all.
I only like fishing.
Why do you like fishing?
- I can't explain it in words. - Even if the fish bite you?
Since we need to talk, can you tell us?
(We want to hear it.)
What about you, Sir?
You gave up biking.
- Fishing is all about catching it with your hands. - Yes.
It feels like...
the fish and my hand is fighting.
That feeling when I catch a fish with my hands. That feeling...
- is hard to explain. - We understand.
Aren't you going fishing today, Ma'am?
We have to go.
I can't live without fishing.
- Even in this cold? - Yes.
- Do you want to go? - We're going cuttlefish fishing tomorrow.
- It's the season for cuttlefish. - It's the season right now.
March and April are the season for webfoot octopus.
- It's full of eggs. - Yes.
- It's full of eggs in April. - April is the breeding season for rock trouts.
We go fishing for rock trouts. We have 6 or 7...
fish traps.
You use fish traps?
We can catch eel.
And also stone crabs.
- Stone crabs? - You can marinate stone crabs.
- It's delicious. - It's tastes amazing.
- It tastes good with rice. - She loves marinated stone crabs.
Ma'am, if you use fish traps like that,
- it's not a just a hobby. You're a fisherman. - Right.
- They're fishermen. - Right.
- That's right. - Fisherman and fisherwoman.
What is that?
- Isn't that a spoon worm? - Eel?
The one in the middle is catfish.
- Catfish. - Eel.
- Catfish. - Don't catfish live in fresh water?
We also go freshwater fishing.
- You go freshwater fishing? - Yes.
That's amazing.
- This looks like a fish market. - It looks just like a fish market.
- Amazing. - Were there any moments when you were in danger?
There were several dangerous moments. When a big boat passes by,
- the waves are very high. - That's dangerous.
It might rain heavily...
or the waves might be too strong.
- Sometimes there's too much fog. - Right.
There are many dangerous situations.
- You must be worried when you hear this. - I agree.
I saw on the news that there was too much sea fog in the West Sea...
- and a boat crashed with a large vessel. - They crashed.
- A couple in their 50s passed away from this accident. - Oh, no.
After watching that news, I called my mother.
She was fishing in the West Sea at that time, and it was foggy.
She got worried because the fog was so thick.
She turned off the boat motor...
and listened carefully. She felt a boat approaching nearby...
and used the oars to move the boat.
A huge vessel suddenly appeared at the same spot she was in.
- Oh my gosh. - If she didn't move the boat,
- there would've been a huge crash. - Your mother sounds like a professional.
- She used her hearing. - "Wait, wait."
- She used sound. - "Turn off the motor!"
- Sound play. - "Turn off the motor!"
"Row!"
(She sensed danger.)
- Amazing. - She used her sense of sound.
- She's a professional. - At that time,
the mountain peak was visible when I started fishing.
But suddenly I couldn't see the mountain peak.
- You couldn't see it. - I told him to turn off the motor.
We turned off the motor and stayed still.
I heard a thumping noise coming from far away.
- I told him that something was approaching and we had to move. - Use the mic.
I told him to move the boat.
After we moved the boat, I looked behind me.
A huge black vessel...
came out of the fog.
- It came out of nowhere.- That's scary.
(A shocking experience)
I was so surprised.
I was bewildered and started to cry.
- Of course. - If we stayed in that same spot,
we would've died.
- But do you still want to go fishing? - Yes.
We met heavy rain and strong winds.
But once I catch a fish,
I want to keep going further and further to catch more.
Sir, how did you feel when you met the sea fog?
It was a terrifying experience.
- I had goosebumps. - She looks like their granddaughter.
Yes, she enjoys crabs.
- How cute. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Did you try marinated stone crabs? - Yes.
- Was it good? - Yes.
Do you wish your grandparents will continue fishing?
Yes.
But...
they were in a dangerous situation because of the sea fog.
- Doesn't that matter? - Aren't you worried?
I'm worried, but fish tastes so good.
How cute.
Can you tell us what your grandmother's crab tastes like?
I usually eat for 1 or 2 hours,
but it takes me 10 minutes to finish the crabs.
You eat for one hour?
What else is there besides crabs?
Rock trout, clams...
- It's not common to know this at your age. - Right.
- Children don't know it well. - Do you know what a fish trap is?
- A fish trap. - A trap that catches fish?
- Yes. - Of course she knows it.
Did you ever go fishing with them?
With your grandparents?
I only fished on the shore, and I didn't ride the boat.
- You didn't get on the boat. - You can tell us honestly.
She's thinking about telling the truth or not.
How kind.
- Is she your sister? - Yes.
What do you think about your parents going fishing?
They're really diligent when it comes to fishing.
- If they don't have a fishing rod, they buy it right away. - Yes.
- But she doesn't do any housework instead. - Your mother?
- She doesn't do anything. - She gave up?
Yes, she gave up.
It feels like I'm taking care of two families.
I'm working twice as much. When I make side dishes,
I need to make more for my mother, and it costs twice as much.
My family is always short on money.
- You're also having money problems. - Yes.
For example, on my mother's birthday,
we make plans with our whole family to gather and celebrate.
But she tell us she might go fishing because of the nice weather.
She wants to go fishing instead.
- She tells us to make new plans. - She's very charismatic.
- It's not easy to make plans. - What does their son-in-law think?
- What do you think about your parents-in-law? - Let's hear it.
When I go to meet my parents-in-law,
the topic of our conversation is always about fishing.
If I also liked fishing,
- we would have something in common to talk about. - Right.
But since I'm not into fishing, it's difficult to talk to them.
When you meet your son-in-law, is that all you talk about?
That's all there is to talk about.
- Oh my. - Do you ask about how he's doing or their relationship?
- I don't ask him. - Just fishing?
- I only talk about fishing. - Your daughter...
- seems to be upset about this. - Look at her face.
- She looks upset. - A mother and daughter...
usually get along...
and talk with each other about many things.
- She can't keep her head up. - She's upset.
- She keeps her head down. - Even though we laughed,
- she didn't laugh once. - Is there anything you want to say?
- When you give birth, you think about your mother often. - Right.
- That's right. - I wanted to share my feelings...
and had my baby at a hospital near my mother's house.
But she didn't come on the first day because she was fishing.
- Really? - Mothers usually visit on the first day.
- On the first day? - Yes.
She came the next day and stayed for one hour.
When I had my second child, I spent three weeks at home after giving birth.
- For postnatal care. - Right.
She never came by.
- For three weeks? - You must've been upset.
Why didn't you go to see your daughter after she had a child?
When she had a child, it wasn't natural childbirth.
- Cesarean? - She had a cesarean operation.
She received operation.
You should've been worried about the operation also.
Isn't that more difficult?
I also experienced natural childbirth and a cesarean operation.
- It's not difficult. - You experienced it?
Yes.
- She's so charismatic. - From your point of view?
- You never visited when she had her second child. - For three weeks.
I was busy after fishing for 5 to 6 days.
And I was too occupied planning my next fishing trip.
I had to plan the right timing to go fishing again.
There are so many things to think about.
If you make soup with rock fish and seaweed,
- it's really good for postnatal care. - I never made her anything.
She must be so upset.
That's so inconsiderate.
Is there a secret to her birth?
You're acting so cold-heatedly.
She's a daughter that you gave birth to.
- Why didn't you visit? - Why?
- Because of fishing? - Is that your philosophy?
Why did you say that?
Are they on their own since they're all grown up?
Is it nothing compared to sea sickness?
(Why is she so unconcerned about her children?)
- She doesn't get sea sick. - Really?
This feels like a hearing.
(This feels like a hearing.)
- Like a hearing? - What?
Although I can't remember well, there was a reason.
A reason?
That's such a simple answer.
- He can't remember. - After you said that,
it really does sound like a hearing.
He also has a suit on.
- "I can't remember." - Ma'am,
please tell us why you're so unconcerned about her.
- I'm addicted to fishing too much.- You're addicted.
- I don't think of anything else. - I see.
Can you tell us when and why you became addicted...
to fishing so much?
I had two daughters and a son.
After I gave birth to them, I raised them on my own...
without an inheritance or any other help.
I raised three children and sent them to college.
When I became 56,
- my daughters got married. - Yes.
I thought about my life.
My body was aching...
and I didn't have any close friends.
I didn't have any place to go.
I didn't spend any time to meet my friends.
- You spent all your time raising your children. - Yes.
- My life felt so lonely. - You felt lonely and empty.
I thought, "Is this it?"
- I cried and suffered from depression. - We understand.
By coincidence,
someone from my cathedral...
recommended going fishing together.
I realized how enjoyable it was.
- I never enjoyed my life until then. - You became addicted right away.
- I felt a surge of endorphin in my head. - Did you catch fish on your first try?
Yes. I caught about 20 rock fish the size of my hand.
- By yourself? - I just did what I was told to do.
- You must be talented. - You should've failed that day.
I think that was why I became so addicted.
Sir, in your opinion,
does she look really happy when she's fishing?
Yes, we've lived together for a long time.
We've lived together for more than 50 years.
No, it's been 41 years.
- He was exaggerating. - You remember that so well.
Who's the woman you lived with for 50 years?
(Embarrassed)
I never saw her like something so much.
She also became very healthy.
- Right. - I see.
She used to stay home all day because she was sick,
but when she goes outside, she becomes a different person.
When she's fishing, she doesn't know that she's sick.
- She concentrates on fishing. - She enjoys it too much.
But when she comes back, her joints and knees start to hurt.
You mentioned that she has tunnel syndrome.
- Tunnel syndrome. - She also received surgery before.
Her shoulder's filled with water and it has an infection.
- Because she kept raising her arm. - Yes.
- Her toenail was also injured on a rock. - Oh, no.
It's hard for her to stay sitting like that.
Her knee joints are worn out right now.
- If she collapses, she needs surgery. - Oh my gosh.
- Does she need artificial joints? - Yes.
Yes, she needs to insert artificial joints.
But she's not receiving surgery because she's scared...
of laying in a hospital for 3 to 6 months.
- It's because she can't go fishing. - Right.
Mom. Ma'am. I called her mom.
- Ma'am, are you really refusing surgery because of fishing? - Yes.
I can't go fishing for six months.
If I receive surgery, I can't go fishing for six months.
You just said, "I can't go fishing for six months."
"I can't go fishing for six months."
- "I can't go fishing for six months." - Sir, what do you think?
You need to persuade her.
I don't know, she's almost 70 now.
I think she has about five years left to go fishing.
- The time left? - Yes, she won't have enough energy later on.
- I think she has about five more years. - I can keep doing it.
So until then, I want her to enjoy what she likes to do.
About 10 years ago, I enjoyed riding the motorcycle.
I like motorcycles.
I enjoyed riding a motorcycle for about 10 years.
She accompanied me for about five years.
- So five years ago, I started going fishing with her. - That's so romantic.
- Good. - I always go with her.
If you grow old without doing anything you like,
there's nothing more regrettable than that.
What if she collapses when she's fishing at sea?
Let me talk now.
It doesn't matter.
Even if I die while I'm fishing, it would be okay.
It's because I'm doing something that I like.
If something like that happens, it's inevitable.
- Ma'am. - But your daughters can't understand this.
If you endure 6 months, you can fish for more than 5 years.
- You might be able to go fishing for 10 or 15 years. - Right.
I want to endure it as long as possible.
- What about going fishing less frequently? - Right.
- Less frequently? - Instead of going every week,
- you can go once every three weeks. - She already looks sad.
When I return, I'm already thinking about going fishing again.
I can't wait until I go again.
- It's because she goes fishing too much. - Yes.
How often do you want her to go fishing?
I wish she wouldn't get on a boat.
Yes, I hope you won't get on a boat.
- A boat. - Yes. If she really wants to go hairtail fishing,
- there are big boats that specialize in hairtail fishing. - Yes.
If she gets on that boat,
- I can always send her. - Since it's safer.
But I don't think she should go fishing on small boats.
- Since it's dangerous. - Yes.
I think this issue will make you think a lot.
Your mother and father...
- sacrificed so much to raise you until now. - Right.
It's their first time enjoying something in their lives, and you should understand.
- This might be your duty as their child. - Right.
- But since it's dangerous, you don't want them to get hurt. - It's dangerous.
This is also a duty as their child.
- This is hard to decide. - How do you want your daughters to react?
Although I'm sorry to my daughters,
my love for fishing...
(Her love for fishing...)
- can't be stopped. - What do you like more? Your husband or fishing?
I like fishing better.
We understand everything.
But you should love your husband more than fishing.
No matter how much you love rockfish, you should love your daughter more.
Do you have anything you want to say to your mother?
Mom.
I understand you. But I hope you stay healthy and nearby,
so we can always come and see you.
I hope we can do things together. Going fishing and eating.
I hope you can enjoy your hobby while looking after your health.
Let's hear what our guests think. Yu'an, what do you think?
I don't think it's an issue.
My mother is also like this.
She worked hard for about 50 years.
- She's into hot yoga now. - Hot yoga?
That's a nice hobby.
- I understand her mother's feelings. - Hot yoga is tough.
She's living happily.
- I'll root for you Ma'am. - Okay.
- What about So-yul? - I also don't think it's an issue.
When we mentioned fishing,
- her face looked liked the happiest person in the world. - Yes.
If you think it's an issue for our guest, press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
In 5, 4,
- 3, 2, - 3, 2,
- 1. - Stop!
Do you have any last words for your daughter? Ma'am?
I'm sorry I let you down.
But since I like fishing so much,
Still.
I'll be careful from now on.
- You should cut back a little. - Okay.
Tell your husband that you love him for than rockfish.
- You have to say it. - He drives the boat for you.
- You need to tell him. - Yes.
I love you more than fishing.
Thank you.
Let's see how many votes this issue got.
(The result)
Is it more than 100 votes?
- They're worried about her health. - Of course.
128? 138?
It received 118 votes.
Thank you.
The next issue is interesting.
- How is this possible? - "Stinky Issue."
"Hello, I'm a mother in my 50s living in Gwangju, Jeolla Province."
"There's a person in my house that makes me go crazy."
"Come on, can't you do it just once a day?"
"It's my wish. Wash your face just once a day please!"
- Washing your face? - Don't you wash it every day?
- Is it a child? - You have to wash your face every day.
"It's my high school senior son."
"The weird thing is, he washes his hair."
- "He washes his hair." - Really?
- "And he also takes baths once in a while." - Really?
"But he washes his face once or twice a month."
- What's wrong with him? - Does he have a water allergy?
- Water allergy? - Once a month?
"It stinks. It smells so bad."
"When my son comes next to me, I start to avoid him."
- His face must smell. - "I'm embarrassed to tell anyone."
"Please make my son wash his face."
(Please make my son wash his face.)
- That's strange. - Why doesn't he wash his face?
- He washes his hair. - Sometimes, lazy men...
use shampoo to wash their whole bodies at once.
- But their faces will naturally be washed then. - Right.
- How can he not wash his face? - Does he cover it with a towel?
Maybe he covers his face with wrap.
Our guest today can't ride the slide.
She has a disc in her waist.
Let's bring out our guest.
(Let's meet the guest whose son doesn't wash his face.)
(Kim Se-ryeong)
(Hello.)
Did he wash his face today?
I don't believe him.
- Even if he's appearing on television? - Yes.
When did this start?
I washed his face for him in elementary school.
You washed his face?
Yes, when he was young. But didn't wash his face starting from junior high.
When he's preparing to go out,
He went in to wash his hair.
I told him to take a bath.
He said, "What?" and just washed his hair.
That's strange.
- Normally, it's the other way around. - Can you notice?
Can you notice that he didn't wash his face?
I thought he washed his face, but it smelled.
A smell from his face?
- It's hard for your face to smell. - Yes.
He has male hormones coming out of his body.
- It's worse if he doesn't wash his face. - Right.
His face looks like it has eczema. It looks like plaster.
It looks like plaster.
- His face looks like dried plaster? - Yes.
I used a steam towel...
- to massage his face. - Did he stay still?
- He stayed still when I did it. - I want to meet him.
If it's common for boys at that age not to wash,
- it might be a trend. - Is it a trend?
Let's meet your son now.
Son!
- Where is he? - Hello.
- He's good looking. - Yes.
- Oh my gosh. - He looks like Oh Man-seok.
He's handsome.
Why don't you wash your face?
I feel uncomfortable if I don't wash my hair,
but it doesn't feel uncomfortable if I don't wash my face.
- What about a shower? - In the summer, I shower every day.
But in the winter, I don't take showers.
Doesn't your face get wet when you wash your hair?
Your face has to get wet.
I can push my hair forward...
and use shampoo on my hair only.
Do you bend your head inside the tub and wash your hair?
- But it still drips on your face. - I squeeze the water and cover it with a towel.
- If it was me, I'll wash my face again. - Is that possible?
- It's so much work. Bending and squeezing. - When you wash your hair,
you can just wash your face together.
It only takes 10 or 20 seconds. Why don't you do it?
I hope there is a specific reason.
It's such a hassle to wash my face and wipe it.
- It's annoying. - If high school students wash their faces these days,
are they made fun of? Is this a trend?
No, it's just bothering to wash my face.
(Frustrated)
Did you wash your face today?
- No, I didn't. - Really?
- But your face is coming out on TV. - You should've washed it.
- When was the last time you washed your face? - About a week ago.
About a week ago.
- A week? - A week?
- I think so. - But you can't notice it from here.
- He is handsome. - He has nice skin.
So-yul and I will go smell his face and check.
You don't notice it, right?
Let's go take a look.
He didn't wash his face for a week.
- We're all curious. - Why am I scared?
(Concerned)
Let's see. I can't feel anything from here.
- Let's go closer. - His skin is very nice.
(His skin looks normal.)
I smell something. Do you smell it?
- Does it smell? - Does it smell from behind?
It really smells.
As soon as I sat down,
I smelled it before I heard this story.
Is that smell coming from his clothes?
(Yeong-ja takes a closer look.)
- His skin looks fine to me. - I know.
- You really didn't wash for a week? - No.
Is it better for your skin if you don't wash?
(Smelling)
Does it smell?
I don't smell anything. It smells like roast chestnuts.
I'm sorry for doing this.
- Oh my gosh. - Do you know what I mean?
I know what you mean.
You might not know since you're women.
- Let me smell him like a man. - Smell him.
- Can you smell it? - What does he mean?
- I think the smell might be addictive. - Excuse me.
(Smelling)
(You told me it's been one week!)
- I can smell it around his neck and ear. - It smells strange.
I know. This smell can't be coming from his face.
- So-yul, smell it. - It's not that stinky,
- but it smells quite uncomfortable. - Yes.
You should get rid of the sleep in your eyes.
Look at this.
(I can't take it anymore!)
Is she wiping his face?
(Yeong-ja wipes his face for him.)
- Oh my goodness. - He might hate water.
It's on my hand.
- He has big eyes. - Can you see this?
Do you see this?
(Disgusting)
Can you see this or not?
(Embarrassed)
There's sleep in his eyes because he didn't wash his face.
But when I saw his face closely,
- he had nice skin. - Right.
- He's also good looking. - Right.
He has clear eyes.
Did you wash his face for him...
until he went into junior high school?
- Until he reached junior high school? - Yes.
He didn't wash it himself?
- I also washed his hair. - Why?
- He was all grown up. - Why?
I needed to go to work...
and I was busy in the morning. I didn't have time to wait for them.
- I didn't have time to wait. - You were in a hurry.
- I told them to wash up, but they didn't listen. - It took too long.
- They were half asleep. - Yes.
Normally if you're a sixth grader,
- your mom doesn't help you wash up. - Right.
- I think when he was young, - Yes.
- he didn't want to obey his mom. - There's a reason.
- He might have done it on purpose. - That might be possible.
Did you have that kind of experience?
Everyone gets pimples in junior high school.
- Yes. - When she saw a pimple on my face,
she made me use a mask pack and used a steam towel...
to massage my face. She did it against my will.
She was interfering too much in my life.
That's why this started.
- He didn't want to listen to his mom. - Right.
Ma'am, men normally...
- don't like washing often. - Right.
Maybe you bothered him too much.
He didn't wash for so long in junior high school...
- and he smelled too much. - I see.
He had a rash and all kinds of trouble on his face.
So I had to make him wash his face.
The more important thing is...
- he doesn't wash his feet. - What?
- He doesn't wash his feet. - What?
His feet?
Yeong-ja, let's go!
(Disgusted)
You don't wash your feet?
- He wears slippers in summer. - Oh my gosh.
They look like beggar's feet.
There's so much grime...
- between his toes. - I know.
But I can understand this.
- I wish he washes his face. - How can you understand?
This is not something that you can understand.
What happens to the bed sheet if his feet are so dirty like that?
It will turn black.
Every inch that his feet touches turns black.
It's so dirty and I don't even want to...
do the laundry anymore. I just throw it away.
- You threw away the bed sheet? - Yes.
When I'm tired, I just go to sleep without washing my feet.
Then I stick my feet outside the bed when I sleep.
-You stick out your feet? - Like this?
- Like this? - He's being a considerate son.
- Like this. - He has manners.
- You're being kind. - You're a kind son.
His family is also here.
Let's meet his other family members.
- Hello, Ma'am. - Hello.
(The guest's sister)
You're sitting right next to him. Is it all right?
It's all right.
I smell it every day.
Do you think that your sister is receiving stress from this?
Her husband spends a lot of time abroad...
- and my sister raised two sons by herself. - That must've been hard.
She gets off work at around 11pm.
- That's late. - Yes.
After she comes home and takes care of her children and cleans the house,
it becomes 1am.
They need to go to school in the morning.
- She gets up at 4am. - To make breakfast.
She makes side dishes using only organic ingredients.
What does she make?
She makes japchae, japchae rice,
back ribs,
- grilled pork. - That's a menu for a birthday party.
I want to be adopted to that house.
On Saturdays,
their school ends at 2pm.
She goes home to make snacks for her sons.
She makes food and tells them to come home by 2pm.
When they don't come home by 2pm, she calls them.
But they don't answer her phone.
- She prepared all that food. - Yes.
She gets so frustrated.
When he finally picks up the phone, I heard...
that he swears and hangs up the phone.
- Her feelings are hurt from this. - Oh my gosh.
I can't understand this.
I don't think washing his face is the issue.
I can understand if he was in junior high,
but if he's a senior, he should be mature enough.
He should know what's going on in his family.
He needs to realize how hard his mother is working for him.
He has to act more maturely.
- But you spoiled him too much. - Right.
- This is much more important than making him wash. - Yes.
- How can he swear to his mom? - That's unacceptable.
Do you know that your mom is working hard?
Yes, I'm trying to help her work these days.
I close the restaurant at night.
If there aren't any part-time workers on the weekends,
I open the restaurant.
- I try to help. - Do you swear when you work?
- Don't do that. - I know what this is.
He doesn't mean it when he swears.
It's become a habit...
and his mom didn't try to fix it.
My mother also raised me on her own.
I didn't want to stay home, and hated everything at home.
Whenever my mom told me to do something, I refused.
I said this often.
It's because I didn't want to see my mom suffer.
I wanted to refuse everything.
I just wanted to avoid her because I couldn't take care of it myself.
I just felt sympathy for him.
- I want to ask if you also felt this way. - Ask him.
I went to many private academies in junior high school.
My mom worked really hard to earn that money.
I don't need to go to private academies.
It would be better for her to use that money to buy clothes for herself.
- I don't need to go to private academies. - He's nice.
Everyone knows how...
we have mixed feelings toward our mothers.
My children had asthma when they were young.
- Your older one or your younger one? - Both of them.
- They were sick. - We had a mobilizer at our home.
It's to help them breathe.
This was when they were young. I got rid of all the curtains.
I covered all the beds with leather.
- You did that to reduce dust. - Yes.
From that point on, I fed them with the food I cooked.
- I used organic food. - That's why you use organic ingredients.
- Is their asthma gone? - Yes.
- Their asthma is gone now. - That's a relief.
- You put in a lot of effort. - Because your mother put in a lot of effort,
- you were able to get rid of your asthma, right? - Yes.
Aren't you grateful for that? Do you understand why...
- she wants to take care of you and tells you to wash? - Yes.
Do you feel uncomfortable with that?
Yes. I feel very uncomfortable.
When mothers put in a lot of effort,
they always repeat something.
I put in so much effort raising you.
Yes. She says those exact words.
That would be stressful.
I didn't like eating food before.
We would fight because of that.
When she would make breakfast for me,
she would say, "How can you do this to me when I put in so much effort raising you?"
She would say that. She didn't need to do that.
She didn't need to do that.
She didn't need to raise me that way.
- If she didn't do that, you'd still have asthma. - Your asthma.
- Your mother had a very hard time because of your asthma. - Right.
That's why she cared for you so much. Those were precious times.
Compared to other families, she feels that...
she had a more difficult time raising her children.
When do you feel most uncomfortable with your mother?
- When do you feel most uncomfortable? - When do you feel most uncomfortable?
When I was in middle school,
she said, "If you don't study now, you'll meet disaster when you go to high school."
She would say that with a grave face.
- She sent me to a private academy for 10 hours each day. - 10 hours?
- Yes. - That's quite a lot.
- Can you tell us what private academies you sent him to? - I sent him to an...
- acting academy in Seoul to improve his presentation skills. Yes. - From Gwangju?
I sent him to an acting academy. I got him a studio flat.
- He was trained in story narration, and... - You were quite extreme.
He had private tutoring and group tutoring.
I do feel bad about that. I regret it.
Did you have a very hard time when you went to private academies?
- He did what he didn't want to do. - Yes.
- Why didn't you say that you were having a hard time? - I...
She didn't listen to me even though I talked to her.
One time, I skipped my class.
I went to an internet cafe to play games. I found my things packed when I came home.
She told me, "Live a life of your own."
- You just did that once? - She sent me to an accommodation for examiners.
- You went there? - She sent me there.
- Your mother did that? - It wasn't just once.
The private tutor arrived, but he wasn't home.
I would go find him. This process would keep repeating.
- You were angry. - I kept holding it in.
If I leave him at an accommodation for examiners,
- do you think I can sleep in peace? - Right.
When I have this conflict with my child...
(When I have this conflict with my son...)
- I can't sleep. I can't even eat. - Of course.
I can't even breathe.
- I can't even breathe. - That's a panic disorder.
Yes.
- I think she did her best. - It's a difficult problem.
She put in all her time, money, and effort.
When she first heard her son curse,
she must have been so shocked.
You must be numb to it now that he's saying it often.
No. I get hurt every time he curses.
My husband doesn't have time to take care of the children.
I have to...
- play his part as well. - Right.
I gave my all for my son. If I hear him curse,
I would cry by myself a lot.
(If my son doesn't understand my love, I would cry alone.)
She can't ride down the slide.
- Is it because your back hurts? - Yes.
Your body becomes a hospital at this age.
- Right. Your whole body hurts. - Yesterday,
I went to the hospital because I had a blister on my eye.
- The doctor told me I had to rest. - You were tired.
- You overworked. - For two months, I wasn't able to yawn properly.
- My jaw joints... Yes. - You have weak jaw joints.
- Because of that... - You have weak jaw joints.
However, I don't have the time to tell these things to my son.
I would tell him to wash his face.
You would only have to tell him that.
The only conversation you have with your sons when you're at home...
- Conversation? You can't really call it that. - Yes.
- Wash. - Wash.
- Wash your face. - Negotiations.
- You two would keep fighting over that. - Yes.
You came out here. Does that mean you want to...
reconcile with your mother?
Yes. I wanted to understand my Mom.
- I came out because it seemed my Mom wanted to come out here. - Right?
You just need to wash your face now, right? You must have thought about that.
- Yes. - Son.
Just as people perform purification rites by...
washing themselves in the new year,
let's purify your face.
- Wash your face. - Okay.
- Okay. - Wash your face.
Wash your face.
Who washes their face during a show?
Here...
- What is this? - Alright.
- He's a good kid. - Good.
- He looks handsome. - Your physique... It's a new towel.
- Sit down here. - Sit down here.
Sit down on the chair. We'll put a basin there.
- You should give him some foam cleanser. - I think it's lotion.
- That's the soap. - No.
- That's foam cleanser. - It's soap.
- The one at the bottom is the foam cleanser. - Yes, that's the foam cleanser.
Usually, people would know that's the foam cleanser.
That's the foam cleanser.
(He finds out about the cleansing products for the first time.)
(It's a historical moment.)
- Alright. - Your microphone.
- I feel refreshed. - Stand up.
- Alright. - Your microphone.
- I feel refreshed. - Stand up.
- How refreshing. - How refreshing.
Is this something to applaud for?
- Foam cleanser... - He's doing it himself.
- He should do it himself. - He should do it himself.
Mom, please.
- Mom, he'll do it himself. - He'll do it himself.
- He'll do it himself. - Here. Your hair.
(Mom is forbidden.)
Your face. Mom. Just your face.
(Wash your face after putting on the right clothes.)
- Good. - Mom, look at him wash his face.
Good.
You should squeeze out more of it.
You're washing your face after a week.
- Don't hold it. Let him do it himself. - Wash your face.
- Let him do it himself. - It's because of this. I'm letting him do it himself.
That's right. Wash your neck as well.
- How refreshing. - How refreshing.
- How refreshing. - The foams are black.
- Is it refreshing? - Your life will change today.
- My goodness. - You're a new person now.
You should wash your nose as well.
You should inside here.
- Wash your nostrils. - I'm refreshed.
- I'm refreshed. - How refreshing.
- My goodness. The water's black. - Wash off the sides.
My goodness. Look at the water.
- What is this. - Wash your forehead.
- How refreshing. - It's like a holy ritual.
- Mom, it's okay if he washes once, right? - Yes.
- Dry your face. - Dry your face.
The audience naturally applauds.
- Raise your head. - He's a whole new person.
Look at him.
- He looks clean. Touch his face. - His face is white.
His face isn't greasy anymore.
- His face became white. - It really did.
- My goodness... - His face became white.
(How can someone change this much after washing?)
My goodness.
- His face became white. - He looks younger.
Let's wash your feet now.
(Chan-woo takes off his shoes.)
- You can wash your feet with that water. - It's fine. You washed your face in it.
- Wash your feet. - Use the soap.
There's a new towel.
- Good. - Soap.
- That's good. - Instantly...
- Right. - Seriously...
It's not easy for the water to become black so instantly.
Seriously...
It doesn't show on the screen.
- The water looks really black with the naked eye. - You're amazing.
It's the first time Hello shows someone washing his face and feet.
- Alright. - Mom, how do you feel?
She looks very happy.
- How do you feel? - I'm very happy.
- Is it refreshing? - I feel happier than if he goes to Seoul National University.
- Is it refreshing? - It's because he can't go there anyway.
(It's because he can't go there anyway.)
Anyway, I'm very happy.
- How refreshing. - How do you feel?
- The water... - I feel great.
- It's this. This is what it feels like. - It's refreshing.
Let's give him a round of applause for washing his face in a week.
(We hope that he'll wash more in 2017, living a clean and refreshing life.)
Alright. Good job. It's refreshing, right?
You can put it here.
- My goodness. Look at his face. He looks great. - Right.
- Seriously... He truly changed. - His face became whiter.
- Right. He's white. - He's really handsome.
- Does that mean the blackness was from the dirt? - Yes.
- Did I rub my nose there? - Right.
Alright. Your son washed his face and feet after a long while.
You fulfilled your dream.
Is there anything you want to say to your son?
In February,
my son will go to university in Gyeonggi Province.
He will part from me for the first time.
I have to get used to living away from him.
However,
I won't even ask for two times a day.
I hope you will wash your face once before you go to bed.
As for eating... I hope you can eat...
like how I fed you.
- What? - I hope...
- That's hard. - How can he eat ribs and japchae for breakfast?
Alright. So-yul, do you think it's an issue or not?
I think...
it's an issue.
I don't think washing your face is the problem.
- You don't converse with your Mom. - Right.
You need to converse with your Mom.
You look so handsome after washing your face.
Your mother wasn't able to see your handsome face at home.
She must have been so concerned for you.
I don't think it's an issue.
After you go to university,
you can be nicer to your mother.
I think he can change by himself.
I think he can gradually improve.
