This is Hello, the National Competition on Issues.
Let me introduce today's guests.
She got married and also had a baby last year.
You must've been in a hurry.
The actress and model, Jeong Ga-eun.
(Jeong Ga-eun.)
They're a popular group right now. Cheng Xiao and Bona of Cosmic Girls.
(Bona and Cheng Xiao of Cosmic Girls)
(Nice to meet you!)
- I heard that you tell everyone that your daughter's a genius. - Two weeks ago,
she grabbed a pen.
- A pen? - She's strong.
- She's 6 months old. She grabbed a pen... - 6 months?
and started to scribble on a notebook.
They all do that.
- We understand. - It's her first time experiencing this.
- Really. - She'll do that until she's four.
It's similar to this.
- I come out on "Animal Farm." - Yes.
Someone says, "My puppy talks!" When we meet the puppy,
(Barking)
I know.
Only the owner knows. It doesn't talk.
That's right.
Only the owner can understand.
(That's what all moms are like.)
Cheng Xiao, it may be uncomfortable if you sit like this for a long time.
You can stretch your legs.
- I heard that you're flexible. - She has her own comfortable position.
When I watch TV at home,
I do splits.
- What? - At home?
- Is that comfortable? - Yes.
- Splits? Can you show us? - Really?
- Really? - I'll show you.
Do you need a chair?
Is that really comfortable?
Like this.
(Amazing flexibility)
(Stop that!)
What are you doing?
(Folding her body)
What are you doing?
(Her face has disappeared.)
Oh my gosh.
(An unbelievable sight)
- How can you do that? - Doesn't it hurt?
It doesn't hurt.
- I was so surprised. - I did this since I was five.
- Five? - Yes.
Since you were five?
My goodness.
I don't understand why you make yourself so uncomfortable.
You can just sit and watch.
Like this.
You can just watch like this.
(Dangling feet)
- Didn't you release a new song? - Yes.
This is my favorite time on this show.
(Tae-joon's favorite time)
- Do you enjoy watching? - Girl groups always introduce their new songs.
Let's hear your new song then.
- Okay. - Okay.
(Let's hear their new song!)
("I Wish" by Cosmic Girls)
(Walking in the rosy path...)
(with the lovely Cosmic Girls!)
(A lovely new song)
Nice!
(We hope you walk in the rosy path!)
Since you're on Hello,
tell us what kind of issues you're good at giving advice on.
I'm good at giving advice about plastic surgery.
- Are you an expert? - Yes.
I mean it. Most women...
don't like it when someone becomes prettier than them.
When someone asks, "Should I make my eyes bigger?" Most women say no.
But I tell them, "Get a epicanthoplasty too."
- I usually say this. - Don't talk about eye surgery in front of Dong-yeob.
My eye surgery went wrong.
His eyes became narrower.
(Laughing)
We have various issues to talk about today.
Show us the keywords please.
Let's see the keywords.
"My Daughter is a Monster."
- "Should I Get a Divorce?" - "My Dad is the Devil."
We have some interesting issues today.
I know.
The title is "Should I Get a Divorce?"
I wouldn't recommend it.
Hello, I'm a man in my 30s and I've been married for 4 years now.
It's so difficult to see my wife's face.
"Honey, I got off work. Where are you?"
"I'm going in late. Bye."
- "Honey, it's three in the morning. Where are you?" - "I'm busy. Bye."
My wife comes home at midnight every day.
She's obsessed with her work.
The day before our wedding,
"I'm working. Talk to you later."
She worked until 4am.
"Honey, let's go to your parent's house on New Year's Day."
- Her parent's house? - Her parent's house?
- I know. - It's her parent's house.
I always spend New Year's Day without my wife at her parent's house.
My wife has worked like this for four years...
- and she hasn't taken a day off. - Oh my gosh.
"Honey, I know you're busy but let's spend the weekend together."
"Stop wining."
"Choose between work or me, or let's get a divorce!"
I'm worried that I'll grow old alone. Please help me.
(Please persuade my wife.)
- My goodness. - She doesn't even have time for a divorce.
- Let's bring out our guest. - Come out please!
(Let's meet the husband who's worried about his workaholic wife.)
(Noh Soo-hwan)
Hello.
- Hello. - Can you tell us your wife's profession?
- We really want to know. - She comes in so late.
She's a private lesson instructor.
Private lessons?
Before we got married,
we went out on several dates. I was so happy back then.
- But suddenly... - It sounds like a sad memory.
- It's so sad. - He sounded so full of regret.
She kept telling me that she didn't have time. We started to meet...
- at midnight. - Midnight?
- Also, - When you were dating?
We even met at dawn for our date.
It became worse after we got married.
She gets off work at 1 or 2 in the morning on weekdays.
She doesn't even sleep after getting off work.
Does she work?
She prepares for her next lesson and sleeps at 3 or 4.
- How many students does she teach? - She doesn't tell me.
She worked until four in the morning before our wedding day.
- My goodness. - Really?
She went right back to work as soon as we returned from our honeymoon.
- Unbelievable. - During holidays,
I've never experienced traffic jams on the highway.
We always go at 3 or 4 in the morning after her work ends.
The highways are always empty.
- There's no traffic jam at that time. - Right.
She goes back to work in the morning...
and I always visit her parent's house on my own.
You must be lonely.
Her parents have never spent a holiday with their daughter.
I always have a drink with my mother-in-law.
We were having dinner on my mother-in-law's 60th birthday.
She went out to work while we were having dinner.
During your meal?
- It was so disappointing. - I'm sorry but...
your wife might be working so hard...
because you're not making enough money right now.
My wife and I both worked really hard...
before we got married. I think we are wealthier...
than other people right now.
I don't know why she's so obsessed with money.
- She's so obsessed. - Your wife?
My wife meets people for a living.
- She wears her shoes until they're worn out. - She doesn't spend money?
- She's thrifty. - I paid for parking once.
She got so angry at me.
- For parking? - For parking?
- You must be frustrated. - I can't understand...
- my wife. - You're not having financial problems.
- No. - She's just busy with her work.
You don't have time to meet your wife. Do you have children?
They probably don't have children.
- Do you have children? - You had time?
Although you may not believe this,
- You have children? - we have three children.
- You said you didn't have time to see her. - Oh my gosh.
- This doesn't make sense. - When did you have time?
Children are even born during war.
I'm not kidding.
He's not kidding.
You tried just three times?
Yes.
He's a powerful guy.
- One shot one kill! - Just three times.
- How old are they? - Just three times.
They are 5, 3, and 2.
Let's meet his wife then.
Hello.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
Do you have to work today?
I heard that my husband was worried, so I canceled four classes.
It was difficult to make time today.
Is there a specific reason why you work so hard?
We have three children right now.
In order to live more happily when we get old,
I think we have to be wealthy enough to support our family.
That's why I'm sacrificing myself to work hard.
We understand but...
what about the holidays?
- Right. - Or when you visit your parents.
He has to go alone.
You should go together.
Students have to prepare for their tests during the holidays.
Most students study hard during that time.
My mother-in-law...
and my mother understand my situation.
They help taking care of the children...
so I can work more harder.
- But... - She sounds so persuasive...
- since she's a teacher. - I know.
She sounds right.
- She talks very well. - Her tone is very clear...
and persuasive. But you have three children.
- Yes. - Were you frustrated when you got pregnant so easily?
I had 3 children in 36 months.
I was pregnant for 30 months.
My back hurt so much during lessons.
It was really tough for my body.
You kept working when you were pregnant?
Yes. I kept working until I had contractions.
- Until you had contractions? - My goodness.
Don't the contractions come on the day you give birth?
Her water broke and she went to the hospital in an ambulance.
- Her water broke while she was teaching? - Yes.
That student must've been so surprised.
(A rare experience)
After you had your baby,
when did you start working again?
I rested for four weeks after having my first child.
I rested for two weeks after having my second child.
I worked right after I gave birth to my third child through C-section.
- What did she say? - No...
- After C-section... - I remember that...
- right after giving birth to our first, second, and third child, - She worked?
she said that she can't bear to stay in the hospital.
She said she would do class for just one hour. However, I lost contact with her.
She came back at around 1 or 2am.
- She didn't get postpartum care right away? - She didn't.
- Did she even spend time as a mother by hugging her child? - She must have not.
Did she hug her child at all?
I also work.
I go out to work at 6am.
I come back home at around 10pm.
My mother-in-law takes care of the three children.
- Oh dear... - That's a bit too much.
- You have to love them when they're young. - Right.
That way, they will give back the love later when they're older.
Can you work less and spend more time with your children? You're a freelancer.
Next year, my children are 5 and 6 years old.
However, the students I'm responsible for...
have to matriculate in university or high school in a year.
I think it's more urgent for them.
- That's why I work more with them. - Do the students...
have no other tutors to learn from?
That's not true, but I have an ambition for them to go up a certain level.
That's why I think that time went by very fast.
- I feel like we're having a public hearing. - I know, right?
You said that you have a certain level and purpose you want to reach.
Can you tell us what exactly it is that makes you work this hard?
I want to have a house where I can live with my husband.
I also want to buy a house for each my children.
- I want to buy four houses. - Three children?
I think I need at least four houses.
Why do you look so upset?
- What? - She said she's going to buy you four houses.
(He's upset with his wife's perfectly laid out plan.)
I think your mother-in-law must be having a very hard time.
- I think she must have the most difficult time. - Let's meet her. Hello.
- Hello. - Please speak through the microphone.
Hello.
Are you raising all three children?
Yes. I'm raising all three children.
Are you concerned?
- I'm very concerned. - See?
I'm very concerned.
I have no personal life aside from the three children.
Exactly.
How many children did you raise?
I only have one daughter.
You only raised one daughter, but...
- Now... - Now that you've become old,
you're raising three grandchildren. It must be so hard.
Doesn't your daughter help you at all?
She doesn't.
- That's so strange. - She doesn't help me at all.
- What about changing diapers? - Not at all.
- Diapers? - She doesn't even know how to change diapers.
- What? - She can't tell which side is the front or back of the diapers?
- She can't tell which side is the front or back? - She can't.
- My goodness... - Excuse me. You teach students so well, but for your children...
What do you think about that?
You're speechless in this aspect.
I'm not sure. I don't remember.
This is something very upsetting.
I heard that you didn't even let your mother go to her close friend's funeral.
I didn't stop her from going.
The day before, I returned home after work past 12am.
She told me then that she has to go to a funeral early in the morning.
I told her that I can't miss classes.
- That's why she couldn't go. - You...
Didn't you tell your daughter that you have to go no matter what?
I even said this.
I asked, "If I'm not here, who would you ask to take care of the children?"
She said that she'll tell the security guards to take care of them.
- The security guards? - Yes.
She said that angrily?
- Are they packages? - You should leave them with the security guards then.
- How can you leave them with security guards? - They...
I feel most sorry to my mother.
However, because I grew up as the only daughter and child,
my parents always made me feel comfortable.
They let me do whatever I wanted to do.
That's why I took those things for granted.
I thought that by giving my parents grandchildren,
I was doing them a favor by giving chores to do.
Raising children isn't a chore.
This is so inappropriate.
- Is the man beside your father-in-law? - He's her father...
- Yes. That's right. - Do you identify with your family's concerns?
She should raise her own children after giving birth.
However, her mother is raising her children.
I feel like I'm divorced and living in separate houses with my wife.
- Now... - My goodness...
You can't see her often.
My wife's always at my daughter's place taking care of the children. I'm alone...
at home, making food for myself.
I go to work, come back home, and make food for myself.
I get irritated and exhausted...
when I babysit the grandchildren even for 30 minutes.
However, my wife has to take care of the children for 24 hours.
She must be having such a hard time.
- When I drive the taxi... - You're a taxi driver?
Yes. I'm a taxi driver.
My daughter goes to teach every two hours.
After dropping her off at one place,
I have to go back after two years to take her to her next class.
- You drop her off for her work? - You're her chauffeur?
- Yes. - Does she even pay her fee?
She doesn't even pay her fee for the ride.
- So... - She's the king of the family.
Well... Ever since she was a child, her mother...
- raised one daughter... - She was the only child.
- Don't you think your daughter turned out this way because you did... - Right.
- everything for her? - Right.
You're right. I spoiled my child.
Because I raised her as an only child,
I granted everything for her.
When she went to university,
she was too busy to eat, so I would go there and feed her.
- You fed her when she was a university student? - Yes.
- Did she eat when you fed her? - Yes.
Are both of you healthy?
No. My wife...
has diabetes and high blood pressure. She fainted once.
That's why I hope my daughter would work less...
so that we could live a life of our own.
We can't do that. She keeps wanting to tutor her students.
- My goodness... - I'm taking medicine for my diabetes after getting proscription.
However, I'm not seeing any improvement. That's why...
I have to work out.
- That's what the doctor tells me. - Right.
However, I don't even have the time to work out.
How can I work out with the three grandchildren?
Did you know that your mother fainted and is suffering from diabetes?
I did know about her illness.
- She knows. - Why do you do that then?
(Why aren't you helping her when you know about her illness?)
- I mean... You should work less. - She just knows.
- She can't empathize. - You should...
When the kids are sick, what happens?
Does she come to her children because she's their mother?
- Does she help out? - She doesn't come to them.
Not only so, but last summer, my granddaughter...
caught a hand-foot-and-mouth disease.
- Hand-foot-and-mouth disease. - Her fever went up to 40 degrees.
- My goodness. - My granddaughter doesn't look for her mother in the day time.
However, at that time, she said, "Grandmother, please take me to my Mom."
My son-in-law wasn't there at that time. He was in Germany.
I put her in a baby carriage...
and went around outside the house so that she would forget.
My daughter came back late at around 2am.
She called her daughter, Joo-eun. Joo-eun looked at her...
and told her to go away. Her eyes were red from crying.
She must have been so upset.
She tried hugging her daughter.
- However, she resisted her. - Her mother wasn't there when she needed her.
- Right. - My youngest grandson...
had a fever up to 40 digress Celsius. The hospital...
- told me that when newborn infants become sick... - It's dangerous.
- they may develop complications later. I was scared. - It's dangerous.
They told me to go to the emergency room as soon as possible.
I carried my grandson with the doctor's opinion.
I rode a taxi...
and went to the hospital. I told my daughter, "Woo-jung is..."
- "sick" - Don't pinch her.
- Don't pinch her. - Don't pinch her.
Why are you pinching your mother?
- It's like this... - Please say whatever you want.
Did your daughter come later?
- She came after the treatment was over. - Did she come to the hospital?
- Yes. - It was an emergency situation.
Shouldn't you have asked the student's mother to let you go to your child?
That's the right thing to do, but...
if I have a responsibility...
- But... - I want to be responsible.
- I don't understand. - The more I listen to your story,
- the more serious this is becoming. - Other children...
Of course, you may have your own worldviews.
Even though it's important for you to work hard for the future,
if your child develops a permanent illness...
because of your work, you would regret your whole life.
Even if they go to the hospital, I heard that...
it's not too much of a problem if the fever doesn't continue for several days.
It's not like my child was in a critical situation,
so I trusted my mother and arrived late at the hospital.
As you said,
if my child was at the stage where she caught a permanent illness,
- I would have stopped working. - Of course.
(You should prevent that from happening.)
That night, your daughter said, "I hate you Mom. Go away."
How did you feel at that time?
I didn't experience that just once.
You didn't experience that just once?
- It's a regular thing. - Is it regular?
Yes. I can't spend a lot of time with my children,
- so I feel guilty. - The kids complain.
I think they'll understand when they grow up.
However, the self-hood that is formed when they're young...
doesn't change easily. Do you know that?
If the child has a certain image of you as a mother,
- it's very hard to change that. - Of course.
You mentioned that you even wanted to have a divorce.
- What happened. - You were...
I worked in Germany for about...
six months and returned recently.
- I missed not only my wife, but my whole family. - Right.
- Right. - However, my wife didn't return at night.
- I was dumbstruck. - You came back in six months.
You thought you would at least get to have a meal with her.
Yes. I was so shocked.
I was so dumbstruck. After finishing her courses, from 11pm to 7am,
- she worked part-time at a fast food restaurant. - Why?
Part-time job?
It's not like you're studying at night.
You're working at a fast food restaurant.
- No way. - You work part-time from 11PM to 9AM?
I got a week vacation from working overseas in Germany.
- To be with your family. - Out of that week, six days a week...
- she would work in fast food. - That's ridiculous.
Then she would go class again the next morning.
- She did that for six days. - Don't you sleep?
- She sleeps one, maybe two hours. - Wow.
- Wow! - Oh my goodness.
Wife, why are you working throughout the night?
When my husband was gone for six months,
whenever I would come home from work I would be home alone.
I felt like spending that time alone was a waste.
I asked around and through some acquaintances found a late night shift.
- I decided to try working for the experience. - For the experience?
Do you ever think that when you have the time, instead of working at night,
you should watch the baby?
I thought about it after work.
- Wow. - So in that time...
you thought it was important to make money in that time, right?
- Yes. - Your husband is thinking about divorce right now.
Are you unable to realize the seriousness of the situation?
I do the work with the intention of doing the best we can for our lives.
Sometimes I wonder why my husband reacts so harshly.
He's not happy.
If you're concerned about living better,
you need to change your living pattern.
Is there anything you're not happy with?
When I have to be in class all day,
often times I don't have a chance to eat.
It would be nice if my husband would come out and buy me something to eat.
I asked him why he can't even do it once for me.
He said, "You aren't being a good wife to me,"
"but you expect me to be your helpful husband. I don't want to do it."
In my defense,
I can be a bit cold...
and I'm not the best at being expressive. I am sorry about that.
But the fact that she's going out that much while she's pregnant...
- It's hard to watch. - You feel anxious.
So I followed her around all the time.
On one really cold day, she said she was really craving sundae.
But there was just no sundae anywhere in that area.
We drove around for a long time and found a sundae stew restaurant.
We asked them if they could please just sell us some sundae only.
Like that, we got some.
- Did she eat it? - Briefly in the car,
she took a bite and took off.
Our marriage pattern continues to repeat in this way. In my heart...
I feel, "Good job. You're working so hard." That's the truth.
- But the anger comes first. - It won't come out.
- Without me knowing. - Your words come out wrong?
- As this lifestyle continued, - It's understandable.
I was recently diagnosed with depression.
- You did? - Yes, I can't control my emotions.
When I think about my wife's work,
I just get angry first.
Was there a point where you were most disappointed with your wife?
There was a time recently where I was really shocked.
One day, she said to me,
"Why are you trying to retrain and interfere in my work?"
"If you're going to be like this,"
"just try meeting another girl."
- What? - I was so shocked in that moment.
Why did you say that? You couldn't have been sincere.
My husband doesn't really like spending time alone.
He only looks to me and is way too attached to me.
- Since he's depressed... - It's not attachment.
Since he's suffering with depression, he might as well spend that time...
enjoying it instead.
- If it could help him... - So meet another girl?
So you told him to meet another girl?
Even just hypothetically.
- But that's different. - He could enjoy himself.
Do you think that you don't have much responsibility...
for your husband's depression diagnosis?
I don't think that I have absolutely no responsibility.
I'm very responsible, but in the same situation...
I'm not the type to fall into depression.
My husband has a lot of those tendencies.
I believe that there are parts that he must overcome himself.
- Do you have no desire to help out? - I would like for him to do work he likes.
- Are you happy? - Shouldn't you be reasonable with your time?
I believe I'm close to happiness.
Do you think your oldest child is happy?
He wants his mom around, but mom isn't around.
- Is your oldest child happy? - He's probably very lonely.
- Mother, are you happy? - Then you need to fulfill that for him.
- I'm not happy. - What about father?
No, I'm not happy.
Are you happy?
You say you're close to happiness, but the three of them say they're not happy.
They're all unhappy.
What's really worrisome is you say that the kids will understand when they're older.
Later when you give them their house they'll be thankful.
Right now it's this and that. This is how you're thinking.
But it's definitely not like that.
I have a younger friend who has quite a lot of money.
He inherited a huge amount of money from his mother and father.
But he talks about his parents very disrespectfully. I was shocked.
Hey, you got all that money from your parents.
Why do you speak so disrespectfully about them?
He had absolutely no bond with them growing up.
Whenever they would call him, he would get really irritated.
He'd say, "I have to go if I want to get that inheritance."
"Why are they still so healthy?" That's how he talks.
You're thinking completely wrong right now.
It's hard to put into words, but with all the bonding growing up,
"Oh, I miss my parents," is what they should think.
Would you be happy later when your kids have to be forced to see you?
If you don't spend time together now,
it will never be like that.
- Definitely. - The kids are the biggest worry right now.
Can you tell us what it is your most worried about?
No lie, my wife literally only get one hour...
- Of sleep? - or maybe two ours of sleep.
One day, she said to me,
"Honey, I think I have narcolepsy."
But anyone can see that she's lacking sleep.
- It's definitely a lack of sleep. - Recently,
she fell asleep behind the wheel and almost died four times.
That's only the ones I know of.
Yesterday, she fell asleep driving and got into an accident.
The car was basically totaled.
There was one accident recently that she was in a lot of pain from.
She said it felt like her ribs were broken and wouldn't even touch it.
- And she still falls asleep behind the wheel? - Yes.
She needs to go to the hospital,
- but she says she doesn't have time because of class. - Why is she being like that?
The laws have changed recently...
- and it's very serious. - Why are you laughing?
This is very serious.
- How can you laugh? - I tend to laugh a lot.
Even hearing it now is kind of absurd.
- What's absurd? - It's embarrassing.
Did you have accidents from drowsiness before?
- About three weeks ago. - You had an accident three weeks ago?
You had an accident yesterday too. All the money you make must go into that.
There was another one last week, but she's not saying that.
- One week ago. - He's so frustrated that he's leaning into me.
- From what I can see... - He's trying to tell me.
your wife's goal isn't to make money.
- She's used to the pattern. - If she doesn't work...
- If she doesn't work, she can't take it. - It's too bad.
It's to the point of feeling bad for her.
I want to pull you out of this.
It's too bad.
Having Hello for so long,
- this happens about once a year. - That's right.
Everyone here is always respectful, but they're starting to be like...
(Mumbling here and there)
It wasn't me!
As she's up there laughing, I'm sitting right next to her husband.
- But he hasn't laughed even once. - Of course.
- Of course. - That's how much I can feel his pain.
Do you have anyone that you want for your wife?
- Anything you want. - Anyone?
Oh, no.
I'm just so upset right now.
- I apologize. - Introduce each other to someone else.
(He apologizes for his carelessness.)
Let's cheat.
Countless times I've requested to my wife...
for us to please live at least one day like other people live.
- Gosh. - Please. On the weekends,
- Please. - wake up together.
- Please do that. - Cook ramen...
and watch TV in bed.
Cook ramen?
- Ramen. - I've asked so many times to try living like that once.
- It's... - Where's your house? I'll cook it for you.
(Where's your house? I'll cook it for you.)
If you really can't even do that, at least...
don't fall asleep while driving.
- That's worrisome. - Please.
You can at least avoid that.
Spend time with the kids, too.
Her mother and father are here. Father, do want to say anything to your daughter?
Raise your children yourself.
We want to live by ourselves.
Father needs his own life.
I hope to go out and meet friends and live like that.
She's my faithful daughter and she's turned out selfless.
I am sorry.
- Oh my. - Don't be sorry.
- I'm sorry. - It's nothing to be sorry about.
I really feel like...
I made it so that she has no life.
- Mother. - She tries to do everything.
You should live your life like other couples.
That is my only wish.
Mother, you're really an amazing mother.
Definitely. She's the best.
(We hope that her mother's wish will come true.)
As we continued to talk about this,
it feels like we kind of put the wife in a corner.
I personally feel like your job...
is an excellent job.
You can adjust your schedule and spend time with your kids...
and you can work. If you just adjust it, you could be really happy.
We hope you can put down your work just a bit.
- All right. Time to vote. - Is it an issue or not.
At first,
I thought there was nothing wrong with a working mom. In fact it's incredible.
But after hearing from her husband and parents,
it seems like it's too exhausting.
With this, I hope they can work it out. I vote it's an issue.
- What about you? - Sis, take a break.
- It's an issue? - Yes.
- All right. - From the children's point of view,
- it's so much of an issue. - Yes, the kids are the biggest problem.
The kids need their mom's love. I'm sure you give it,
but I don't think it's enough.
With that in mind, I think it's really an issue.
If you think it's an issue for our guest, press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
In 5, 4...
- 3, 2, 1! - I think it'll come out high.
Is it 100 percent?
Please say a few words to your husband and your parents.
While my husband was overseas for a long time,
I endured and passed through a very difficult time too.
Every time he gets angry,
I only think of my own difficulties...
and myself, so I'm sorry.
I promise to be a better mom to our kids.
And to my mom and dad, I'm so sorry.
And to my mother-in-law...
who's watching this show, I'm very sorry that I couldn't come visit more often.
I'm thankful to my family-in-law. I'm thankful to my family.
I'm thankful to my friends who are married as well.
- I'll do my best. - Are you giving an award acceptance speech?
It's an award acceptance speech.
- This isn't an award. - Why don't you thank your hair dresser, too?
- Yes. - At least once a week, I'll take time to spend as a happy family.
- I promise. - Your work.
- Will you work less? - Tell us that.
- Yes, I'll work less. - All right.
Husband. She says she'll work less.
- It's unbelievable, right? - Yes.
She said that before we got married, too.
You can't do that.
- You have to follow through. - You are saying this...
- in front of all these people. The husband needs to believe it too. - That's right.
Then it's possible.
I'm really thankful that you're saying that you'll try.
I've been so cold lately and unable to speak sweetly...
like you want so much.
I haven't been able to be talk like that to you at all.
From now on, I'll do my best to be...
the fun husband that you want so much.
Whether I'm in Germany or wherever overseas working,
you know you were the only one, right?
What are you guys doing here?
I love you.
- All right. - Why can't you say some sweet things for your wife like she wants?
How about acting cute for her. Say "Ppuippui."
All right, begin.
Honey, I love you. Ppuippui!
- There isn't much to happiness. This is happiness. - All right.
Let's see how many votes this issue got. Show us the result.
Should they just get divorced?
No, don't do it. Live happily together.
- Okay. - 34.
- 124. - 164? 174?
- 184. - 24.
- 94. - 194?
- 94. - 9.
If it's 194, that's the highest.
- No way. - 174!
- That’s not bad. - Wow, that's amazing!
Thank you. Please do your best.
This is a harsh title. "My daughter is a monster."
"Hello. I am a mom in her fifties with a daughter that's a monster."
"She keeps changing her face. She's a plastic surgery monster."
- We happen to have an expert here. - I got this.
"My daughter's plastic surgery life started when she was 14."
- That's fast. - From 7th grade?
"Mom, if I just get my double-eye-lid, I'll study really hard."
- "I'll do everything you want." - That's right.
"At my daughter's wish, I ended up getting her the double-eye-lid surgery."
"Studying hard was nonsense."
"Mom, I want to do my nose too. Can I do it?"
"Are you crazy? Shut your mouth!"
- "Eventually..." - Father.
- Father. - "Are you crazy? Shut your mouth!"
(Dong-yeob's "Country girl" acting skills)
- "Eventually, my daughter secretly did her nose and came home." - Secretly?
- How? - With what money?
"One day, she came home, 'Mom, I'm home.'"
- Oh my, she did her chin? - "I'm back."
"She's only 22 years old. Please end..."
"this young monster's endless plastic surgery."
- She's really worried. - Yes.
- They say plastic surgery gets addicting. - That's right.
After you do your eyes, you look at your nose.
It changes. There's a nose that matches the eyes and a chin that matches the nose.
You sure are an expert.
That's right. But starting from 14 years old...
- is too fast, isn't it? - It's too early.
- It seems too early. - Her eyes are still growing.
- Her nose and chin, too. - She's not fully grown yet.
It seems like her mother is very sad right now.
Let's bring out our guest.
(Let's meet our guest worried about her plastic surgery addicted daughter.)
(Jung Sang-hee)
(Welcome)
At the age of 14,
you got her the double-eye-lid surgery.
Since elementary school, there's that double-eye-lid glue,
the thing that makes the double-eye-lid,
she would put that on...
- and always walk around with that. - Really?
- That's really fast. - She would say that if she puts that on,
her eye lid stretches out, so she can't study.
She promised to study more, so I did it for her.
But it didn't end there.
Then she said, "Wouldn't it be pretty if I did my nose?"
She would keep bringing that up, but I put my foot down.
- I said no. - So did she do her nose or not?
She did her nose.
- She did it on her own? - You didn't do it for her?
I didn't. She didn't ask me or get my permission.
It couldn't have been cheap. How did she cover the cost?
She worked part-time in fast food and barbeque restaurants.
- That's good. - One way to work was 1.5 hours, 3 hours round-trip.
She wouldn't take the bus. She walked.
- To save money? - Yes.
- That's incredible. - In order to get the plastic surgery.
That's how she did it.
Then...
I guess there's something that you put into your skin.
- Filler? - Filler.
- Starting with her forehead... - Upper lip, chin...
Chin and all around.
I mean there are a lot of people doing plastic surgery these days.
She did her whole face. Isn't it over now?
- What else is she concerned with? - She should be satisfied now.
But she keeps trying to do more.
If she continues, I'm worried her face will be really abnormal...
or she'll develop side effects.
All right, let's meet the daughter that's worrying her mom so much. Hello.
Hello.
- Where did you touch up? Can you tell us? - Eye-lid.
I had double-eye-lid surgery.
Forehead, eye adjustment, my entire nose, chin.
Botox in my chin and Botox around my jaw.
- Filler in my forehead. - Are you rapping right now?
- You put something in your forehead? - Yes, filler.
- You put filler in there? - I got facial bone contouring shots too.,
- Did you shave your bones down too? - No, not yet.
- Shave the bones. - "Yet," she says.
How much was the total production cost so far?
Production cost.
How much was the production cost?
About 9,000 dollars.
- 9,000 dollars? - So far?
- About 9 to 10,000. - 9 to 10,000?
Your face isn't really one to be that unsatisfied with?
Since you were young, did you have a lot of problems with it?
- Why? - Yes. My eyes were too small and my nose was too round.
- When you watch TV, you see a lot of pretty people. - Right.
I thought I could look like that if I just touched up a bit.
- Touch up a bit? - After doing my eyes and nose,
and seeing all the photo models,
- I got more greedy. - Do you have a style you long for?
- A style I long for? - Who would you like to look like?
Out of female celebrities...
is there a model you want to look like?
- I'm quite prideful. - You don't want to say?
I don't have one from Asia.
You don't have one from Asia?
Then do you have one from Europe?
- Not Europe. - You're Asian. How can you not have one in Asia?
America?
There's someone named Kylie Jenner.
- Kylie Jenner? - She has a great body and face.
- She looks very exotic. - So are you not happy with your face now?
I'm not really satisfied with it.
- You're not satisfied? - No.
Choose someone from Asia, a celebrity from our country.
Just put the bar down just a little bit.
Someone you need to at least be like to be satisfied.
- Choose a Korean. - Force yourself to pick one.
(Tell us now.)
- My preference is a bit unique. - Sure.
(We really wanted to hear this.)
Rather than pretty, I like Jessi's style.
- Jessi? - Oh.
- Jessi. - She likes the sexy style.
- Oh. - "I'm not your sister."
What?
Plastic surgery is not a competition.
Jessi.
She is that style.
I mean, no matter how much we talk,
- we don't know what your face used to look like. - Right.
- Do you have a picture. - It's hard to explain that.
So we'll take a look at your pre-plastic surgery face first.
Then we'll continue talking.
- How bad could it be? - Let's take a look at her elementary school photo first.
I never even showed my boyfriend this.
- Okay. - Please accept this with a humble heart.
All right. Let's take a look at your elementary school graduation photo.
You're pretty.
- The one on the right is pretty. - She was so pretty and pure.
- That's right. - That's her high school photo.
- Your elementary photo is so pretty. - It's really pretty.
No, it's too eastern. I'm an eastern person, but it's too eastern.
- You said you weren't satisfied with your face now. - Yes.
Do you have anything more you want to do?
I've done inner corner of my eyes, but I want to do the outside corners too.
I did my nose, but they did it too high.
So I want to lower it to look more natural.
- Lower it? - My chin as well. Instead of injections,
I want to put in prosthetics.
- I want to make it sharp. - Sharp.
Another thing is, it's a really expensive so I haven't told my mother yet.
But I want chest implants as well.
- I want breast enlargement too. - Breast too?
It's not just your face. Now you want to do your breast too.
- Anything else? - Also, liposuction in my thighs.
- Liposuction? - Yes.
What?
What? Why?
- She wants to get liposuction. - What do you think?
It's a total disaster.
I couldn't take care of this on my own...
and I'm so embarrassed to be talking about this here.
But I really need your help.
Aren't you afraid of receiving plastic surgery?
- Aren't you scared? - It hurts.
When I had a double eyelid surgery when I was 14,
I woke up from anesthesia during the surgery.
- During surgery? - Yes.
- In the middle of surgery? - It hurt so much without anesthesia.
I told the doctor that it hurt too much.
They said, "She woke up!" and took a break.
They gave me another shot in my hip.
I still remember that painful memory.
When I received nose surgery, I was awake.
Although it didn't hurt, you heard everything.
My body shook when my nose was being cut open.
But you want to do it again?
Yes.
There are many cases of plastic surgery side effects.
- Aren't you afraid? - I was worried...
but I still wanted to receive eye and nose surgery.
(Her mom is more worried then her.)
What did you do in order to stop your daughter?
I kicked her out of the house once.
But she came home with a piercing.
- She also got a tattoo. - A tattoo?
- She has a rose tattoo on her neck. - A rose?
She doesn't even buy me a gift on my birthday...
but she gave herself a tattoo on her arm on her birthday.
I got so angry once and lost my mind.
I took all her stuff...
and threw them out on the street.
- I understand. - Her cosmetics, shoes, and bags.
The apartment entrance was blocked with all her things.
You were furious.
- She was furious. - Her things fell to the floor and I just kicked them around.
I threw everything out.
I kicked her out in her pajamas.
You were kicked out with all your belongings.
How did you feel?
I was so humiliated and it was too cold.
It was embarrassing.
What were you thinking inside?
I just wanted to wait until she calmed down.
Why did you get a piercing?
I'm interested in fashion.
Not only do I want to change my face,
but I also want to change other parts of my body.
Let's talk to her friend.
Is she your friend?
- Hello. - Hello.
What do you think about plastic surgery?
She can change her appearance through exercise or other methods.
- I don't think it's necessary. - Did you receive plastic surgery?
No.
- You didn't receive surgery? - No.
Why is your friend so obsessed with plastic surgery?
It's about self-satisfaction.
She also enjoys receiving attention.
She's obsessed with her social network account.
She has about 16,000 followers.
- 16,000? - Yes.
- That's a lot. - She enjoys increasing her followers.
If she's not satisfied with their reaction, she erases her picture.
Then she posts more shocking and provocative pictures.
- She repeats this until she's satisfied. - She's obsessed with receiving likes.
She once posted a picture of her having a video call with Jung Woo-sung.
I called her and asked what it was.
She posted a fake picture.
She likes to receive attention so much.
Why did you make a fake picture?
It's popular these days. People make fake pictures...
of them together with their favorite celebrity.
Since I'm a trendsetter, I wanted to be the first to try it.
Do you enjoy receiving attention?
I'm an attention hog.
(The attention hog!)
- An attention hog. - An attention hog.
Our staff just told us something.
You already posted a picture on your way here today.
I just said I'd be on TV.
I didn't say which program. I just said that I was on the way to a show.
- You posted a picture already. - "I'm so tired of being on TV."
(Although I received full makeup for this show, I'm still uninterested.)
You're trying to look uninterested.
- You have a mask on. - She's holding carbonated water.
- She's wearing a mask with her hair up. - Right.
- It looks very natural. - There are a lot of comments already.
Who took that picture?
- Your friend? - I see.
How many times did you take a picture?
- I took a lot of pictures. - How many times?
- I kept on taking pictures. - She won't be satisfied with one picture.
- She probably took dozens of pictures. - Did you see her?
You might have seen her just now.
She was looking at her face in the screen.
She was trying to figure out which angle she looked good in.
(I love my face.)
Are you obsessed with the reaction from your followers...
- on your social network account? - Yes.
Why do you think that's so important?
People recognize me on the streets...
and ask me to take a picture with them.
- I enjoy it. - It makes you happy.
Yes. That's why I'm obsessed with receiving attention.
She's like a celebrity.
- Do people really recognize her or is she mistaken? - Maybe she's mistaken.
I think she's just deluding herself.
- She's just mistaken? - Yes.
- There's a reason... - Some people are like that.
why she's so mistaken.
She doesn't think about wearing clothes...
that are appropriate for the weather.
She always wears hot pants, tight clothes, and ripped clothes.
That's why people stare at her.
They're thinking "She's very unique. Is something wrong with her?"
When I have to go somewhere with her,
I try to avoid walking next to her.
We have prepared some pictures to see how she dresses.
(Let's take a look at her daily look!)
It must be hard for you to walk with her.
- It's hard to wear those type of pants. - Do you go out like that in the winter?
- Yes. - Aren't you cold?
You extended the picture so much and you look like a giant.
What?
The streetlight looks crooked.
The letters on the street also look crooked.
It's a different person.
Her neck looks weird.
That's another person.
I don't know what you'll think but...
- it looks really weird. - Yes.
Do you want to look like that?
If I keep editing the picture,
- I'll eventually be satisfied with how I look. - But you don't look like a person.
- Really? - You look prettier right now.
- You're much prettier now. - Right.
(Your actual face looks more natural and pretty!)
- That looks prettier. - After seeing the picture,
- She looks totally different. - I understand what she's trying to do.
She keeps receiving plastic surgery in order to look like that.
She probably spends her whole day looking at her social network account.
Her friend probably knows her well.
Does she always enjoy receiving attention...
and does she think that people recognize her?
We enjoy drinking together.
If I call her name and speak loudly,
she suddenly tells me to be quiet.
She tells me to be quiet because people are looking.
She doesn't like people gossiping about her.
People will probably gossip about her more on her social network account.
- She's always like this. - Gossip?
When we have to order at a cafe,
she says that the employee might recognize her.
She tells me to order instead of her.
Although it's annoying, I say okay...
and order instead of her.
After I ordered, she sounded quiet.
I looked at what she was doing...
and she was walking around by herself trying to receive attention.
She was checking her social network account.
When I sat down after I ordered,
she said, "Did you hear them say that I looked pretty?"
She always tells me these things.
- She's having hallucinations. - Yes.
She's really obsessed with what people might think about her.
Do you want to be an entertainer?
I don't want to be an entertainer,
but I just want to stand out from normal people.
- It's so surprising. - A unique person?
It hasn't been long since our debut.
We don't cover our faces when we go outside.
- No one recognizes us. - Right.
She's a very unique person.
When people see you, they might think...
that you're overreacting too much.
What do you think about this?
When I go to an appointment or when I work,
people send me text messages that they saw me.
I receive a lot of messages that people saw me.
I don't think I'm overreacting.
I'm just trying to be careful.
Can you tell us what people say in their comments?
They tell me that I'm pretty.
There are a lot of mean comments too.
"You look like a plastic surgery monster."
"Your real face looks so different from the picture."
- There are a lot of mean comments. - Doesn't that hurt your feelings?
I don't care that much.
When someone calls you a plastic surgery monster,
- don't you think you should stop? - Right.
People probably call me that since I received a lot of surgery.
She's very optimistic.
- She's positive. - Yes.
- She's positive. - She has a strong mentality.
Although she looks happy on the outside,
I don't think she's that happy.
- She's weak on the inside. - She sometimes says that she hates people...
and she also hates her friends.
She's afraid of people.
I think there's another reason why she's so obsessed...
- with her outer appearance. - Why did you say that you hated everyone?
This guy wanted to be friends on my social network account.
I live in a small neighborhood...
and he was always sitting at the table next to me.
- That's scary. - He followed me outside one day.
He wanted to have a drink with me.
I kept seeing him wherever I went.
He kept asking me to have a drink with him...
so I just unfollowed him.
A stranger called me.
He started to swear at me so much.
He said terrible things.
I never heard so much swearing in my life.
I was so shocked.
- Something bad might have happened to her. - Yes.
I just heard that a guy followed her.
I also experienced this when I was young so I wasn't worried.
(She didn't take it seriously.)
Isn't that common?
(Isn't that common?)
What a cool mother.
Did you think about closing your account after that happened?
No.
She can't help it.
This issue is actually about her obsession with her social network.
- That's right. - She might have received plastic surgery because of that.
Were you ever ignored when you wanted to receive attention?
Was there a particular experience?
My brother is the opposite from me.
He studied really well and he's an elementary teacher.
Since he was so smart, I was always in his shadow.
Everyone was interested in my brother only.
I wanted to be complimented one day.
I won first place at a writing competition...
and received a scholarship for 6,000 dollars for 2 years.
But my mom didn't even show a reaction.
I wanted to receive more attention like my brother.
I think this was why I started to act like this.
- Why didn't you compliment her? - What do you think?
Her brother received most of the attention...
and I don't think I complimented her enough.
I got divorced when she was five years old.
I think she was concerned that she might lose me too.
She followed me to the bathroom...
until she was in third grade.
She waited in front of the door until I came out.
When I slept for a long time,
she came in often to check if I was alive or not.
Really?
- She didn't want to lose her mom. - Yes.
She put a finger under my nose and if she wasn't sure,
- she put her ear against my chest. - On your heart?
Yes. After she checked that I was breathing,
- she went back out to play. - She felt anxiety.
I think her anxiety...
had an effect on her obsession with plastic surgery...
and other obsessions today.
Do you remember how you were?
I don't remember well but...
I think I was obsessed with my mom when I was young.
I was anxious when she wasn't around.
(Worried)
You must've thought that you weren't an important person.
Before I received plastic surgery, I used to be class president. I was bright.
But I heard that I became more depressed after receiving plastic surgery.
Why do you think you became more depressed?
Since I'm obsessed with plastic surgery and my social network account,
my feelings are hurt often.
- That's why I became more depressed. - You have a very appealing personality.
- People already find you as an attractive person. - Right.
- It won't matter. - You should stop getting plastic surgery.
You have high self-esteem.
You've already conquered Asia.
You're a person with a strong mentality.
You don't have to be obsessed with your physical appearance.
- You have to care about your inner self now. - Right.
She doesn't know how attractive she is already.
Stand up.
(Why doesn't she know?)
Stand up. Is she attractive or not?
- She's attractive. - She's attractive.
- Doesn't she look pretty? - Yes.
- She's tall. - She's perfect.
- She's perfect but she doesn't realize it. - Right.
I'm also thankful...
to the people who leave comments on my social network account.
But they're not directly related with my life.
Your mom, family, and friends...
- are more important in your life. - Right.
Don't you want to listen to people who are more important in your life?
Rather than random people.
- I have thought about it. - What?
I do want to listen to them.
Then listen to them.
Don't just think about it.
Do you have anything you want to say?
You can tell her now.
Ah-ra, I know that you want to look prettier...
and I understand.
You've always looked pretty to me.
I hope you'll stop being obsessed with plastic surgery...
and think about your future and your life.
Why don't you change your inner self now?
I'm so tired these days since I'm going through menopause.
I'm going through menopause.
Although she looks very young.
I love you so much.
(I love you, my daughter!)
Tell us if you think it's an issue.
I think it's a big issue.
- Okay. - I also think it's an issue.
(Cheng Xiao thinks it's an issue.)
If she has a goal and something she wants to do,
- she'll try really hard to achieve it. - She has an attractive personality.
You should use the social network to maximize your strength.
You have to use it right.
If you concentrate in this area,
I think you'll become a successful person.
I think this issue will be solved today.
- So I don't think it's an issue. - Okay.

Let's see how many people voted.
The last digit is 8. Did she receive more than 100 votes?
100. 138 votes?
128? 118 votes!
(This issue received 118 votes.)
- The title is "My Dad is the Devil." - "My Dad is the Devil."
It's about a man who's been living in pain ever since he was born.
He lived in pain for his whole life.
- Hello, I'm a sixth grader. - His whole life?
- He has lived in pain for his whole life. - 13 years?
- 13 years? - That must've been tough.
The reason why I'm writing this story...
is because of my dad who has been harassing me since I was born.
- That's why he's a devil. - My dad is a devil.
"Don't do it! Stop it!"
"It stinks! It smells like food waste!"
"What is that smell? Rotten eggs!"
"Please stop doing that!"
His breath smells like food waste to me.
His fart smells like rotten eggs.
Like this?
(Eat that!)
It's a fart attack.
Oh my gosh.
Whenever he drinks, he always goofs around like this.
"It hurts! It hurts so much."
He suddenly twists my arm...
and practices his arm bar on me.
The next day,
"Dad, look at this."
"My arm is bruised because of you."
"I have bruises on my leg also." "Me?"
He doesn't remember?
How could he be so shameless?
I'm afraid that I'll live...
- like this for my whole life. - His whole life?
- His whole life? - My goodness.
Please scold my dad for me!
What do you think?
You all have sons.
He sounds cute.
I goof around with my son a lot.
His dad might be goofing around...
- but his son might feel he's being harassed. - Right.
My brother used to...
- stick his leg between my legs like this. - He did that to a girl?
(Only guys usually do that!)
It's like riding a motorcycle.
It's hard to stop laughing if someone does that to you.
(It's so hard to stop.)
- You can't help but laugh. - Right.
But what's more difficult...
is that you can't do anything about it.
(It's hard to resist.)
I think you enjoyed it.
There's an easy solution. He's 13 now.
He's not strong enough to fight back with his dad yet.
He needs to wait two years until he gets stronger. Then his dad will stop.
My dad always used to do this to me.
- He lifted me up like this and I hated it. - I know.
After my hand grew bigger when I became 15,
I started to hit my dad's back whenever he lifted me.
He started to stop.
He has spent his whole life...
- in pain because of his dad. - His whole life.
Let's bring out our guest.
(Let's meet the guest who's suffering from his dad's jokes.)
(Is he really 13?)
(He's big!)
- He's huge. - He might win his dad.
Hello.
He's so big.
- Oh my gosh. - Why is a sixth grader so big?
- He looks like a kid that I want to goof around with. - I know.
- He's cute. - I want to good around with him too.
- He's so tall. - I want to goof around with him.
- How tall are you? - 171cm.
- Oh my goodness. - 171cm?
Please introduce yourself.
- He's cute. - Hello.
My name is Seung-kwon and I'm 13 years old.
Hello, Seung-kwon.
Seung-kwon is so cute.
Don't you think your dad is goofing around with you since you're cute?
It gets too excessive when he's drunk.
It becomes too excessive when he's drunk?
- How is it? - He drags me by my leg and goofs around.
Can you do it to Tae-joon?
Show us.
- In the blanket? Seung-kwon has lied down. - Show us.
Seung-kwon has lied down.
He's drunk right now.
He drags you?
(Dragging)
(Let's play!)
- Then what? - Then what happens?
He sits on top of me.
- Sit on him. - Sit on him.
You'll sit on me?
- And then what? - Seung-kwon.
- Seung-kwon, wait. - Then what?
- Try it. - Seung-kwon, wait.
Seung-kwon, wait. My stomach hurts.
Was he heavy? Tae-joon, what do you think?
Seung-kwon? Seung-kwon is amazing.
You'll be able to drag your dad in two years. Don't worry.
You said that you were even bruised.
I had bruises on my arm...
and my thigh.
What were you thinking then?
I thought, "Who am I?"
Who am I?
- You were ashamed to be born. - Yes.
Ashamed to be born?
Is there something you wish your dad will stop doing?
I hope he doesn't sit on me and fart.
- Fart? - He sits on you and farts?
He farts in my face.
- In your face? - You can fart in his face too then.
- When he's sleeping. - I did something else.
- What? - What?
I poked his butt.
- You poked his buttocks? - Buttocks?
- It's dangerous to poke buttocks. - Poking buttocks.
- Let's meet the father. - Yes.
Does he keep harassing you even though you tell him to stop?
- Yes. - Did your Dad come out today?
- Yes. - He didn't drink?
- Yes. - Do I look pretty in real life?
It looks like you're charmed by me.
I'm not.
- You're charmed by me. - I'm not.
You're charmed by me.
- You're charmed by me. - Leave him alone.
- Don't do that to him. - Don't joke around.
Call your devilish father.
- Dad. - How cute.
- How cute. - Louder.
Dad.
Hello.
- He looks like a funny guy. - We're embarrassed to ask,
- Right. - but why do you harass your son after drinking?
- I don't think it's extreme. - Right.
When I drink,
I can't control my strength.
I think it may become too much.
Even though you say you're just goofing around with him, your son...
said he got bruises.
When two men goof around, you can get bruises.
In my perspective, he's my son, so I think it's natural to play with him physically.
It's natural to get hurt while playing.
You can't control your strength when you drink?
He's a man, but he's still a child.
Look at his physique. Does he look like a child?
You shouldn't judge him by his physique. He's only 13 years old.
Do you really not remember what happened when you wake up the next day...
or are you pretending not to remember?
- He's joking. - I'm pretending not to remember.
He's playing with his son in that aspect, too.
- He's playing with his son. - Right. He's pretending.
- He's playing with his son. - He's shocked.
Dad said that he does remember. He's just pretending not to.
Now I know.
- Now you know? - He said now he knows.
You didn't know that your father was teasing you?
- I didn't. - You're dull.
He's cute.
- I think his father wants to tease him because he's so innocent. - Right.
- If a child's cute, we would want to tease... - Right, we want to pinch them.
We say, "You're cute." Your father thinks you're cute.
- Did you see his expression? - His expression...
- His expression... - Are you upset?
- He asks for teasing. - It seems that you'll hit her.
Did you ever tell your father, "I'm old now. Stop teasing me"?
- Sincerely... - Seriously...
I did tell him sincerely.
- What did your father say? - How did you say it?
- He comes to you, saying, "Seung-kwon" - You woke up.
I say, "Stop playing around."
- You.. - I want to play around.
I'm sincere.
- Stop playing around. - Did you make your father promise you?
- I did record his promise. - You recorded it?
- He's detailed. - He has a recorded file.
What did you record from your father?
I recorded him goofing off and played it to him because he said he doesn't remember.
- You played it to him. - However, he said he doesn't remember.
- He said he doesn't remember that? - Yes.
Did you think he would say that he remembers?
- I admit. - I know.
Isn't it more fun to play around with him after telling him you won't?
- It's more fun. - What is that?
(Bingo.)
Do you play around with your son only, or do you play around...
- with your wife or... - How is it?
- other family members? - Does he only do that to you or other family members, too?
- My mother has a hard time, too. - Your mother...
- Is she your mother? - Yes.
Anyone can tell that she's your mother.
- Hello. - Hello.
Your son says that you have a hard time, too. Is that true?
Whenever he drinks, he teases our son.
- As his mother, it's awful to see his father harass him. - Really?
It's too extreme. He harasses him too much.
My son is having such a hard time...
that he cries every day.
- He cries? - If these incidents happen occasionally once a week...
or once or twice a month,
I could probably glance over them.
- However, I see him do that every day. - He harasses his son severely.
My son cries and says, "Help me Mom. Please stop Dad."
I would then go to him.
However, the problem is... Look at me. I'm quite big.
When I go to him, it becomes so chaotic.
- The whole house? - There's furniture and home appliances.
- Does the furniture break? - You guys must fight very chaotically.
When we bump into the furniture,
we always get bruises.
I'm sorry. Please look at the husband beside them.
He looks envious.
(He's envious.)
He's envious.
- My goodness... - He's thinking, "I want to wrestle like them."
This is how people live.
Sir, are you envious?
(He's earnest.)
- My goodness... - You should fart.
- Yes... - However...
(Work less after smelling this.)
(Good job.)
Was there a time when you thought that your husband went too far?
It only ends after someone gets hurt or bleeds.
- They bleed, too? - Yes.
There was a time when he was wrestling with his father...
- and he bumped his head on a corner of a closet. - Who?
- No... My husband. - Your husband?
- Yes, my husband. - What a relief.
Because of that, his head gushed with blood.
- I told him that we should go to the emergency room and stitch it up. - Right.
He said, "It's fine. It's nothing."
Watching them wrestle makes my heart drop.
Why didn't you go to the hospital?
- I bled a little, but it wasn't anything serious. - Okay.
I was a bodyguard in the past.
I didn't go to the hospital because slight injuries aren't that serious for me.
- You shouldn't hurt your son because of that. - Right.
- I mean... - You may think that it's a joke, but if your son doesn't think so,
- isn't that a problem? - It's not a joke.
- It's not a joke. - What do you think?
To be honest, when I play with my son,
he enjoys it.
- He enjoys it? - Not only so,
- he poked my buttocks in revenge, but it was a bit extreme. - Poking buttocks.
- That's why... - Did it go in?
I bled there.
It bled?
- To be honest, I... - He bled?
- had an hemorrhoidectomy before. - He seriously...
It went wrong, so I bled. Because of that, I couldn't sit...
- for about four days. - My goodness...
- Those incidents can happen when you joke around. - You're able to realize...
that something went wrong.
- Sometimes, you know that you poked your fingers in too deeply. - How was it?
Did it go in deeply?
Yes.
- How did you feel? Your father bled. - I got a feeling.
I was worried, but it felt good.
You were worried, but it felt good to take revenge?
- Yes. - Although the father is the one joking around,
he's the one who keeps bleeding.
- That's usually the case. - What a relief.
Ma'am,
your son says that his father's harassment becomes more severe when he drinks.
He doesn't just drink. He drinks a lot.
This is how much he drinks.
After drinking 1 or 2 bottles of soju, he drinks 2 big pitchers of beer.
He would also drink 3 or 4 makgoli everyday.
(He drinks everyday.)
- Everyday? - Yes.
There are 365 days in a year.
He drinks 360 days a year.
He drinks a lot.
His harassment becomes severe when he drinks, right?
My son and I are quite big.
I know how to do bodyguard martial arts.
(My goodness.)
- You're cool. - I met my husband...
at a bodyguard martial arts studio. I worked out with him while dating.
Bring it, senior.
Senior...
(Come to me.)
(Their love bloomed in the martial arts studio.)
- It was a wrestling love. - He's uncontrollable when he drinks.
- There's nothing I can do when he drinks. - There's a reason why it's fierce.
- Setting aside the playing around, drinking... - Right.
- It's because you drink a lot. - It's because you drink everyday.
I think that's the problem now that I've listened to your story. Right?
He drinks everyday. My son is still...
- in elementary school. - Right.
- I don't think it's good for him educationally. - Right.
The work I do currently...
is an executive secretary of a company.
I'm always tensed up...
and stressed...
- Right. - when I work.
- You... - When I come back home from work, I feel more comfortable.
- That's why I drink. When I'm outside, - He has two lives.
- I'm tensed up. - You always have to stay tense.
- I can't drink when I'm work. - Do you know that...
- your father plays with you because he loves you? - I do, but...
it feels more fierce than love.
- It's too fierce. - It's too fierce.
You understand your father, but are there times that you really can't stand him?
- There are. - Are you earnest?
- Yes. - You want him to do it moderately.
- You want... - If so...
I want to ask him this.
Do you feel that your father transforms at a certain point...
when he plays with you while drunk?
- Yes, he seems to change. - That...
- is serious. - Even though your father says it's a joke,
are you scared of him as well?
While struggling, if I hit him once, he would get very angry.
- You get scared when he seriously gets angry? - Yes.
This is a bit strange.
- This is too much. - That's too much.
- That's too much. - This has to be categorized as a drinking habit.
- Yes. - Right. It's a drinking habit.
- It's not a joke. - What do you think now that you've listened to your son speak?
I'm quite shocked, too.
- Of course - I didn't know he would think like that.
- He says that he's scared when you change. - Yes, if that's so,
- I think I have to cut down on drinking. - Originally,
you wanted to be a playful father to your son.
- Is that right? - When I was young, my father...
went to work in Saudi Arabia for a very long time.
I barely got to see my father throughout elementary school.
That's why I didn't receive enough love from my father.
Because I have only one son,
I wanted to be more close with him.
I guess after drinking a lot,
- he may have taken it differently. - He does know that you love him.
However, the lines between drinking too much and moderately is ambiguous.
The reason why I asked Seung-kwon is... I like drinking as well.
One day, my son told me,
"I was scared to see your eyes change after drinking."
He told me that once. I was reminded of that incident.
That's why I try hard not to drink when my son is around.
- That's why I mentioned this. - Think of the times when we were young.
We would get scared merely by our fathers mumbling after drinking.
- Right. - In the perspective of children,
- they would get scared. - It's scary.
Although it's an issue for the son,
I think the mother would be very concerned as well.
Is your husband healthy when he drinks everyday?
After his 40th birthday, he seemed to be more weak.
When he eats his meals, he keeps sweating.
When I see him like that, I tell him...
to drink less and have a healthier lifestyle.
My words would go in one ear and come out through the other.
One time, he hurt my feelings by saying something.
When he drinks a lot...
- You were hurt. - Your feelings were hurt.
(She tears up whenever she thinks of those words.)
Whenever he drinks a lot, he says,
"When I get sick,"
"I will secretly go up to the mountain and die alone."
"Don't be concerned about me." This is what he says.
I get really upset by those words.
Those words stay in my heart.
I hope he can decrease his drinking so that we can live together happily.
- How can you say... - You must be very worried.
- You're worried. - You said that while drunk, right?
- Yes. - Do you remember saying those words?
- You don't... - I regret it very much.
We don't have the right to say this, but...
why don't you decrease the amount you drink?
- That's the best resolution. - Right.
Alright. You four drinkers, come on out.
(Come up to the front, famous drinkers.)
You four should drink a bit less this year.
- What about plop, plop? - What is it?
- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. - Every other day?
- Yes, plop, plop. - Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
- Tae-gyun, do you promise to do plop, plop? - We can't drink...
- I promise. - Dong-yeob, do you promise to do plop, plop?
Why should I make a promise here?
- Let's make a promise together. You guys are the same age. - Just say it.
- Do you promise to do plop, plop here? - Sure.
- What about you? Help him make a resolution. Plop, plop? - Okay.
- Do you promise to do plop, plop? - Plop, plop.
(Will the father promise to do plop, plop?)
Okay. I'll drink less, too.
(Please Dad, I beg you.)
How do you feel after listening to him promise? Do you think he'll keep it?
I should trust him.
- You should. - You should keep your promise because she trusts you.
You guys are a happy family. It's the drinking that's the problem.
- Right. - Is there anything that you want from your son?
- He's always so adorable. - Right.
I hope he'll always be like that.
However, what I was upset about was...
When he was young, he would come to me, hug, and kiss me.
I loved it when he did that.
I want to do it now, too. When I try to kiss him, he runs away in disgust.
Perhaps it's because your breath stinks.
(Is it because his breath stinks?)
You have to cleanse your mouth before you do that.
- If you make a promise, he may give you a kiss. - Alright.
- If he keeps his promise, will you give him a kiss? - Yes.
- If so... - Do it now.
Show us how intense...
your kiss is.
Give this older sister a kiss.
(Screaming)
Please demonstrate it first.
(Young-ja is mocked two times.)
- Seung-kwon... - You're awesome.
- Seung-kwon... - You'll live a good life.
- Help him make a resolution. - Make him promise with a kiss.
- Give your father a kiss. - Go ahead.
- Go ahead. Hurry up. - No.
It's not embarrassing.
- He's going to harass you if you don't. - The father should come here.
- You can give him a kiss here. - Come here.
- Hurry up and come here. - Come here.
Give your father a kiss on the cheek.
Hurry up. Stand up.
- Give him a kiss. - It's not so hard.
- Are you going to keep your promise? - Stand on the side.
Kiss him.
- He's very big. - Right. Stand like this.
- Kiss him. - Ask him to keep the promise and kiss him.
(The kiss will be given so that his father would keep the promise.)
Here. Say, "Keep your promise."
Keep your promise.
(Kiss)
- Thank you, son. - How do you want to kiss your son?
(Kissing the lips is the best.)
- I knew he would do that. - Do it again.
- Of course. He wants to kiss his son. - I mean...
Is there anything else you want to say to your father?
Dad, please cut down on your drinking.
I love you.
(I love you, Dad.)
Alright. Cosmic Girls.
- Is it an issue or not? - We were trainees...
ever since we were young, so we didn't get to live with our family.
That's why I'm quite envious. It's not an issue.
I thought it was an issue,
but they look very happy.
- That's why I don't think it's an issue either. - It's not an issue.
If the father keeps his promise to do plop, plop,
I don't think it will be an issue. It's not an issue.
If you think it's an issue, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- Counting from 5, 4, 3, - 5, 4, 3,
- Two, one. - Two, one.
- That's it. - Alright.
Is there anything you want to say to your son?
Son, I made a promise. I'll drink less this year.
I love you very much, too.
Alright. Mom, please say a word.
The family trusts you.
Because you made a promise in front of all these people,
I hope you really will do plop, plop.
Alright.
Your father said that he'll change his ways. I don't think you'll get...
a lot of votes because we've all felt your father's love for you.
- How many votes do you think you got? - 50.
- Fifty votes? - Fifty votes?
- I see. - He's very wise.
Show us the result.
- Alright. He said he predicts 50 votes. - He thinks he got 40 votes.
Sixteen?
Is it 46 or 56?
It's 46.
(He received 46 votes.)
