He said she hugged me and
complimented me a lot.

- I think only his dad came.
So I thought I could raise him...
Maybe I could raise him.

- Before we get started, I see a familiar face in the audience.
The dad from 'Ugly Duckling Dad' who came on the show last month.
Hello.
- Welcome. - Hello.
- I would play the entire album when I'm driving.
- Just the title. - How did you do it?
Start.
- Beautiful from the front to back.
Beautiful from the head to toe.

why can't you accept him?
- He's creepy.

And you want to see their photos when they were young.

And you find them good-looking no matter what.
Your father loves you just like that.
- Yes.

- She got it. - She got it now.
- A little.
- Yes.
The dad likes everything about his daughter.
Please give her an advice.
- Ha-eun, thank you for liking us.
- Ji-min is very attractive.
- I think you'll be really good girl
if you love and care for your dad just as much as you love us.
- If you give your dad a hug, I'll blow you a kiss.
- Wow, wow.
- Alright.
Hello.
I'm a housewife in my 60s and I live in Hoengseong in Gangwon province.
- Hoengsung is a nice place.
- My husband sits in front of TV all day
and watches health TV shows.
He's always like, "You shouldn't eat red meat."
"Ahem..."
"Don't eat that fried chicken."
"Raw fish?"
"You cant eat raw fish."
"You'll get really sick"
- What can she eat? - What does he expect me to eat?
"Water."
"You can drink a lot of water."
"If you feel thirsty, it's too late."
"It's accurate."
"It's too late then."
"It's accurate."
- That's a new way of thinking.
- Just drink it.
- Drink it before it's too late.
- Everyone, drink before it's too late.
- You shouldn't be late.
- If you feel thirsty, it's too late.
It's somewhat persuasive.
- It's alright.
- If I beg him to eat out for once, "No, that restaurant is too salty."
"You'll get sick."
"Just make your own tofu."
- What? - Make tofu?
- Who makes tofu at home these days?
- Wow.
- He's always nagging at me.
"You shouldn't wash the dishes like that."
"You need to eliminate all the germs."
"Then do it yourself!"
And my husband would wash each chopstick
and wash 3 plates in one hour.
- Yikes...
- I think I'll actually die sooner from the stress.
Please help me stop my husband.
Let's welcome our guest.
Please come out.
How conscious is your husband about his health?
- You won't believe it.
He would watch shows like 'Mysteries of the Human Body' all day
and even take notes down.
- He even takes notes down?
- Yikes. - Yes.
When I try to watch a drama,
he switches the channel.
- To a show like 'Mysteries of the Human Body'.
- Yes, and even when we are visiting our relatives,
he would go home to watch 'Mysteries of the Human Body'.
- Even when he's outside?
- Yes...
- You've mentioned a few, but what
does he not allow you to eat?
- We never eat red meat.
The meat has to be boiled only,
and if we want to roast it, it must be roasted on pure charcoal.
- Pure charcoal...
- We can never eat fried chicken.
We eat oven-roasted chicken, but without the skin.
- What about raw fish?
- Because it's raw.
We also don't eat fast foods like pizza.
We don't put salt, sugar and seasoning in our food.
- Then what do you eat?
- Vegetables.
- Does your husband smoke or drink by any chance?
- No, he doesn't.
- Right. - He doesn't?
- That's good.
- He must have a flaw.
- I found one.
- But he's just trying to be healthy,
so maybe it's not a bad thing?
- It's too excessive.
If we try to eat out, he'll come up with all these excuses.
Like, "The charcoal is too close in that restaurant"
When eating at home,
we have to use separate chopsticks for picking up the meat and kimchi.
Because they need to be picked up separately.
All the side dishes have to be homemade
with ingredients fresh from the farm.
- Homemade? - Even the tofu.
- Yes.
- You made them yourself?
It must've been so difficult.
It's really difficult.
- Let's meet her husband now.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Do you really not eat all those foods?
- I don't.
- You don't seem very energetic though.
- You should eat something.
- You should eat some meat.
- He's so skinny.
- You don't even eat meat?
- I never liked meat and when you eat meat by grilling them,
they can burn and it is likely to cause cancer.
So that made me stay away from meat even more.
-right. There are people who
don't eat meat for those reasons.
But what about raw fish?
Do you not like raw fish as well?
Or...
- No. I don't like the fishy smell.
- Did he ever gotten sick from it before?
And suffered a lot? - That would make sense.
- No?
Then where do you get all these information?
- On KBS1...
- KBS is the problem.
- 'Mysteries of the Human Body'.
Or 'Ask Anything'.
- 'Ask Anything.'
- KBS is the problem.
- 'Best Doctors' on EBS.
- 'Best Doctors'.
- Then, there must be not much food
that you can eat.
Other than water. - So I eat rice and noodles.
- But noodles aren't good for you.
- Noodles are high in gluten.
- But if I don't eat even those, I'll starve to death.
- The only food that wasn't on 'Mysteries of the Human Body'
was noodles and rice?
- I like noodles.
- Does he like noodles? - He likes noodles.
- What kind of noodles does he like?
- He would eat noodles and ramen. - Ramen?
- That's worse for your health.
- I was off of it for awhile, but I'm starting to eat a little.
- Noodles and Ramen.
- He's been into snacks recently.
- Snacks?
- You have a child's taste.
- You're just eating what you like.
- You're just being a picky eater.
- He's not being health-conscious, he's just a picky eater.
- Why do you eat snacks?
- I eat them when my stomach feels empty.
I eat snacks that are not too sweet.
- That are not too sweet.
- I eat a little.
- You must like convenience stores.
- But haven't you heard that eating too much snack can cause diabetes?
- So I eat non-sweet snacks.
A little at a time...
- What are those non-sweet snacks called?
- Are they salty then?
Salty snacks?
- Crackers?
- Cracker.
- Those are really high in calories.
- I eat just a little at a time.
- I see someone laughing,
looking very dumbfounded.
Are you his son?
- Hello. - I'm Lee Kyung-boo, their son.
- You must've complained a lot as a kid.
- Yes.
When you're young, you want to eat a lot of snacks.
But I couldn't eat the food that I wasn't allowed.
This shouldn't happen, but if I died all of a sudden...
And I wouldn't be able to eat all those food.
- So unfair.
- Yes.
Even ghosts who eat well look good.
There is this show called something like 'How is this possible in this world?'.
- How is this possible...
That's funny.
How is this possible in this world?
- This old lady lived until she's 100 years old, although she smokes.
- Right. - So I told my father that some people
live that long even though they
don't have the healthiest habits.
And my father said that if she quit smoking, she'll live up to 120 years old.
- Right.
Right.
- He seems very quiet though.
Very quiet.
But it's difficult sometimes.
- I can eat whatever I want outside,
but my mother is with him constantly.
He would complain about the food being too salty.
Stuff like that... - Constantly?
- Yes.
When cooking meat, he would say that the meat is undercooked,
when everyone thinks it's fully cooked.
If it's burnt even a little, he tells us to cut off the burnt part.
I'm worried that my mom will become sick
not from unhealthy food but from stress. - Right.
- So my mom and I would go out sometimes
at eat grilled fish at a restaurant.
We can't even eat grilled fish at home.
- Grilled fish? - Even grilled?
Why can't you eat grilled fish?
- He has a weak stomach,
and he also has mysophobia so he can't stand the fishy smell.
He says that he feels like throwing up what he ate on his 1st birthday party
when he smells that fishy smell.
- 1st birthday party...
- He says that.
- That's quite a skill.
- I don't like fishy smell.
- How old are you this year?
- I'm 64 years old.
- 64?
You're only 64 years old?
- You seem out of energy.
- I think he's too skinny.
- And you are...
- The same age.
- The same age?
Really...
- Born in 1954.
- I thought the she was younger than her husband.
Much younger.
- Objectively speaking,
do you think your husband is
energetic compared to his friends?
- No.
His friends all look healthy and energetic,
but as you can see, my husband looks very weak.
- He might not like fishy smells,
but it seems like he has mysophobia.
- If I touch it, I have to wash my hands...
- Wash you hands.
- So I wash my hands very often,
and my hands crack easily since I don't put on lotion.
- He doesn't put on lotions?
- He can't put on scented lotions.
- Oh...
He's very concerned about hygiene.
Does he help you with housework?
- Absolutely not.
He leaves the house messy, but only keeps his hands clean.
He even wears gloves when counting money.
- He wears gloves when counting money?
- When counting money...
- One day, I was too upset
and told him to do the housework.
So he washed dishes,
and he would wash one chopstick at a time.
- Scrubbing all four sides of a square chopstick.
- He would wash each plate over and over
and it would take him an hour to wash just 3 plates.
- So I guess he can never eat out.
- No.
When he tries to eat out...
- He can't eat out.
- He can only go to a certain noodle restaurant.
And only stone bowl rice restaurant.
- Stone bowl rice. - Because it's boiled.
- He would only go to those restaurants.
After retirement, he would stay home and watch TV all day...
- So it's gotten worse?
- The lady on the side.
Hello.
- Hello.
I'm the husband's sister.
- The husband's sister.
Was your brother like this when he was young? - Yes.
When he was young, he would wash his teeth for 30-40 minutes.
- That must ruin your gums.
- He would always scrub his hands after he got back from work.
- What about eating?
- He ate well when he was young.
But he got a weak stomach after he got sick.
- Weak stomach.
- So it's gotten worse now.
- When do you feel bad for your sister-in-law?
- All the time.
Everyday she lives with my brother.
- That's...
- 365 days.
- Were there any other times
when you were upset?
- After my retirement, I started working as a cleaner.
When the market opens, a lot of people visit the market.
And the restroom gets really dirty
and some people throw up.
I got really upset when I was cleaning,
thinking why I'm living like this.
I was so upset and grossed out that I couldn't even eat lunch.
And I cried a lot.
When I get home after working like this,
and I see the house all messy, or course I get angry.
- Your wife just said that she is really upset.
How do you feel?
- That's my fault.
- Since your wife is out working,
you can help with the housework.
Right?
- Yes.
- What do you do all day?
- Taking notes...
- Mostly watching TV. - What?
- It's mostly watching TV.
- You just watch TV?
- I heard he was sick.
Is that why he can't help around the house?
Is he sick?
- He has spondylitis from his neck down.
So his back is bent like this.
- It's spastic. - Spastic.
So if he's not on medication, we can't even turn his neck.
- Shouldn't he be getting
some physiotherapy or exercise?
- Yes, but the only exercise he does it straightening his back.
And he visits the hospital regularly.
- Is that why he started watching his diet so much?
- Is that why?
- Yes, but he can still do regular activities like everyone else.
So I want him to go out with me.
If I ask him to go out to eat with my friends,
he's always like "I'm not going, you go by yourself."
- Always staying home.
- My friends always ask,
"What does your husband look like?"
- Why won't he go out?
Ho doesn't like meeting other people?
- I think he's conscious about how he's sick...
- He looks weak. - He thinks they will think less of him.
- Because he feels uncomfortable.
- But is there something that
you did for your wife?
- There isn't...
something I did for her.
- Oh...
- What do you want to do with your husband the most?
- I want to go on a trip. - A trip?
To where?
- I asked him to go to Jeju Island for my 60th birthday.
But he was like "There's nothing to see there.".
I haven't really gone on much trips with my husband.
- Did you talk about any other places?
- I asked to go to the Seolak Mountain, but he said it's too cold there.
- It's cold in the winter.
- Why didn't you go to the Seolak Mountain?
- It's too cold and icy in the winter, you should go in the spring or summer.
- What about Jeju Island? - What about Jeju Island?
- I don't think there's much to see in Jeju Island.
- Is it because you think there are only raw fish to eat there?
- Don't you think you'll get healthier both mentally and physically
if you do outdoor activities?
- I like doing that.
- Pardon?
- I can't run like other people,
but I like kicking around a ball.
- Kicking around a ball?
Do you walk a little?
- I don't do that.
- What?
- I can't do that...
- What are you talking about?
- So does he exercise...
- Not at all.
- Not at all?
- Why are you holding your neck?
- I got a shock.
- She got a shock.
Give her a massage.
- Your wife just got a shock
because she's so stressed out, what are you going to do about this?
Wasn't this on one of those health TV shows?
What's more important than food is to reduce stress.
- That was on the show. - It was , right?
Then you should restrain yourself so that your wife is not stressed out, right?
- Right.
- But that's not so easy, right?
- Right.
- You won't eat certain food
because it's bad for your health.
But let your wife eat what she wants. - Yes.
- Go on some trips.
- That'll help her go through another year. - Yes.
- Can you do that?
- Then I should go.
- To Jeju Island.
- I think Seolak Mountain is better than Jeju Island.
- Your wife wants to go to Jeju Island though.
- Can you let her eat what she wants?
- She has diabetes.
She needs to watch her sugar level...
- But you can't even watch what you eat.
You eat ramen when you know flour isn't good for you.
You even eat snacks but you tell your wife to watch what she eats.
You should stop eating those too.
Go off flour and ramen.
Aye.
The reason she's stressed out
is because you're constantly criticizing her.
So just by looking at your face, she gets a shock.
Is that right?
His face...
- Listening to him speak.
- It's tiring. - Really...
- You can't do everything you think is right.
Your wife will get stressed out.
Criticizing over and over again.
It drives you crazy.
- If she gets sick from being stressed out
you'll have a hard time too. - You need to take care of her.
- Aren't you thirsty?
You should drink some water by now.
- Yes, yes.
- Is your mouth dry?
- I think he drank some already.
- Are you thirsty?
- Yes, yes.
- It's too late.
Okay.
I think he...
- I'm sure he felt something.
- He must've thought and felt a lot.
But he's probably not used to expressing,
and I think he'll get better.
Please say something.
- I think you'll stop watching TV so much,
and you'll hang out with more people.
Since I'm more stressed out because of food
I hope he eats different food.
- My mother passed away really early.
She passed away at the age of 57 in 1995.
She never smoked or drank.
My older brother is hearing-impaired,
and she always thought it was her fault.
- Blaming herself.
- She was so stressed out that she first got hepatitis and
she died of hepatocirrhosis.
It was because of stress.
Just because of stress.
I really hope that you'll help her
not get so stressed out.
- You can do it!
- What do you think?
- Well...
I don't mean to be rude but,
but if only he spoke more kindly to her...
I think it's a concern - It's a concern?
- Yes.
- I really like cooking,
but I think I'll get really stressed out
if someone keeps criticizing me.
So I think it's a concern. - It's a concern.
- Seung-hye.
- I think that she will be more healthy
if he's more considerate of her.
I think it's a concern for her.
- It's a concern for sure.
Please press the button if you think it's a concern.
-5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Stop.
- Stop.
- Please say something.
- Lucia, I won't make you stressed out anymore.
- Specifically, how?
Tell her what you won't do.
- Say that you won't nag her.
- I'll let her do anything.
Anything she wants.
- She's surprised.
- Will you go to Jeju Island?
Will you go to Jeju Island?
- I should go if she wants to.
- Carrying fire in one hand and water in the other.
- That's nice.
- Do you love her?
- I love you.
- He's a good guy.
- Will it pass 151 votes?
Let's see the results.
- Last digit.
5.
- Is it 154?
- 154 is 1st place.
Is it 144?
- 154 votes.
- 154 people have voted that
this is a concern for your wife.
Please take that into consideration
- 'Why did you come to our house?'
Jin, there's a role for you to play.
- Me? Okay.
Should I be sitting down?
- Closer to me.
Closer.
- Yo-heave-ho!
- Closer.
- So silly.
What a funny guy.
Hello.
I'm a single 40 year-old living in Suwon.
One day, an intruder has entered my peaceful life.
- "Auntie, I want to live with you from now on."
- She's 20 years old. - Oh, 20 years old.
I thought she was a baby.
- An intruder entered my life.
- Auntie, I want to live with you from now on.
- Because of my 20 year old niece,
I feel like I'm raising a child.
I have to wash the dishes, do the laundry and prepare her meals.
"Hey,
you need to clean up
what you ate."
It's Gwangju.
20 year old from Gwangju?
I don't know dialect very well.
"I have weak wrist."
- And she would move at all.
Not only that, she's really picky.
- "Auntie, my clothes smell."
"Didn't you wash them?"
"Don't you know that I don't wear the same clothes twice?"
- It's Gwangju.
- "Is that right?"
"Is that right?" "Auntie."
"My sheets smell."
"Wash the sheets."
- I couldn't stand it anymore.
"Go back to your house."
"Huh?"
But my niece won't budge an inch.
Can I get my fun single life back?
This is the concern.
Let's welcome our guest.
Please come out.
- Hello.
- Since when did your niece start living with you?
- About three months ago,
she brought all her stuff to my house.
So I said, "Okay, let's do it."
But living with her was
really hard for me.
So...
- Why did you send us the concern,
instead of talking to your sister?
- I talked to my sister recently.
I told her I'll send her back.
But my niece would insist on staying.
So we fought and cried.
- This isn't a small problem.
- The fact that you couldn't stand
not even 3 years, but 3 months.
- You just don't get along together.
- You don't get along well.
Why did she leave her house?
- She got into a university,
and she has troubles with her parents.
She also hates her hometown, Gwangju in Jeollado.
- But you are the one who cried?
Shouldn't it be your niece who cried?
- I'm not sure if kids these days are all like this,
but she would sleep until 2 pm.
I wash the dishes and do laundry for her.
But my niece wouldn't do anything, and she's very sensitive about smell.
She'll use a towel once and say it smells. - Wow.
- Even the sheets... - She's lazy yet sensitive?
- There's not much she can do by herself.
- And she's 20 years old? - Yes.
She didn't know how to send a package
so I taught her. - She can't do that?
- I told her to get the waiting ticket
and wait at the bank.
But she would get the waiting ticket
and she kept calling me.
"Auntie, where are you?" "Auntie, hurry up."
"Auntie, where are you?"
- What else are you worried about?
- She is greedy about food.
She eats 6 servings of Shabu Shabu.
And... - 6 servings.
- She also ordered boiled pork.
And she would eat a hamburger combo. - A hamburger combo?
- A combo...
- What worries me more is that she'll throw up after.
- What?
- In the same day.
- She's eating too much. - She throws up?
- Is she anorexic?
- I didn't know before. - Why does she do that?
- She throws up once or twice a week.
When she throws up... - That's a lot.
- Throwing up must be painful, I wonder why she keeps doing it.
- She said she never gets full.
So she has to eat more.
She'll eat extra portion,
and that's normal for her.
I stop her from eating more.
- Is she here today?
- Yes.
- What's her name?
- Hye-bin?
- Jin, call her name. Hye-bin.
- Hye-bin.
She's skinny.
- Hye-bin, stand up.
She's not fat.
Turn around.
- And she's tall.
She's even tall.
- Oh, you must throw up.
- That's funny.
Is what your auntie said true?
- Yes.
- Did you know she was suffering so much?
- A little, I didn't think it was this bad
that she would come on this show.
I have to sleep 12 hours.
- 12 hours?
- Yes, I have to sleep 12 hours to wake up.
And.
- What are you talking about?
- Then you should work when you wake up.
If you slept for 12 hours.
- I feel really dazed when I wake up...
I feel dizzy.
- Dizzy? - Yes.
I'm dizzy and I can't think straight.
- What made you so stressed out that you left your home?
- I heard I'm a late-born child.
So I can't get along with my parents,
because of the age gap. - Oh, the way of thinking?
- Yes.
I have darker skin and people used to make fun of me a lot when I was young..
- When you were young?
- Yes.
My parents used to run a fish store,
and they would say that I smell. - Your friends?
- Yes. - Especially in the summer.
- Yes.
So I'd put on a lot of perfumes and air fresheners.
- Young-ja, didn't you parents used to own a fish store?
- Our fish store was really old.
I know how stressful it is.
After I get my payment,
I'll try to catch a cab home.
But they wouldn't let me on.
- Because you smell? - The fish smell.
So I would walk 2-3 km.
Because they say I smell.
- Are you relieving those kinds of stress by eating?
- Yes, sort of.
I eat 2-3 plates by myself.
- But you throw it all up.
- I have weak stomach.
- Than it's even worse. - I have hemorrhagic gastritis and
and neurotic gastritis so I keep throwing up and I have to take medication.
- I asked my niece,
"Do you live off medication?"
I think she's a little addicted to medication.
She goes to the internal medicine doctor,
and also the oriental medicine clinic.
She says her trapezius muscle hurt and...
- What?
Trapezius muscle? - She says it hurts everywhere.
She says it hurts everywhere...
"I think my stomach hurts."
And then she takes a pill.
- That's bad. - Yes.
- Taking medication on her own discretion...
- That's not good. That's not good.
- Why do you take so much medication?
- Because I feel relieved. - You feel relieved?
- Did you leave Gwangju because you just hated it?
- Yes.
- All your friends must still be in Gwangju though.
- I've been afraid of people in general. - People in general?
- Yes.
I would cover myself when I'm outside.
- Because you're scared of them looking at you? - Yes.
- Are you okay now that you're in Seoul?
Is that fear gone?
- This is helping me.
- Your glasses?
Do you feel nervous without your glasses then?
- I can't look at them in the eyes.
- But you can when you wear glasses?
- Yes, if I cover up some part of my face.
- She had hard times when she was in school.
On a school trip, they played a game where they had to hold hands.
But her friends said she was dirty.
even before they held her hand.
She's always had low self-esteem.
When she's looking in a mirror, she says
"Auntie, why am I so ugly? My eyes are so tiny."
And I get stressed out too.
- She has very low self-esteem.
- She has face masks in different colors for going outside.
Black and White. - Really?
- She wears them.
One time, this lady was whispering something to her friend.
And my niece thought they were talking about her, when they weren't.
- Yes, she could think that.
- And she got really angry at them.
- So, your auntie sent us a concern
on our show which is nationally broadcasted.
You must've heard this. - Yes.
- How did you get the courage to come on the show?
- This is a program where people relate to your concerns.
I wanted to relate too.
- It's good that you came. - Did you come out
- So you got the courage? - Good for you.
- Give her a round of applause.
- It's good that you came.
- Have you ever talked to your parents
about your feelings?
- A little, but my mom would just speak negatively
saying that's how the world is.
And my dad is from Jeollado, so he has a really strong accent.
And it sounds like he's yelling at me.
- So you don't talk to your dad about your concerns at all?
Although you did at first? - Not at all.
I don't talk at all.
- But your mother is on your side.
She's telling you to just ignore them.
Does that not help?
- I can't relate to her. - You can't feel her?
- Yes.
- Is that her mother beside her?
- She's her mother and my sister. - Your sister.
You seem to be crying. - Yes.
- It's heartbreaking from the parent's perspective.
- Why do the tears keep coming out?
- When my daughter talked to me,
I didn't think it was a big problem,
and I told her to just ignore them, because that's just how they are.
And... - That's what you said.
- I guess she was stressed out a lot.
It hurts me a lot.
- Now that you heard her speak.
- Yes.
- When she said she's going to leave the house to her auntie's,
you must've been really upset.
- When she first told me that she was leaving, I was upset.
I wanted her by my side.
I'm the eldest daughter-in-law.
So they wanted me to have a son, but I had a daughter and
they wouldn't even look at my daughter. - Aye.
- So I always felt sorry for her and wanted her to be with me,
and I cried a lot when she left.
I was upset as well.
So...
- But you must've given her plenty of love. Right?
- We tried, but her father is a typical Jeollado man.
He speaks dialect in an aggressive tone.
- I love you!
I guess he spoke to strongly.
- Even I can't get used to it, so of course my daughter can't.
- He's too strong. - Yes.
When I try to talk to him about my daughter's issues,
he just blames me and my daughter.
- Let's meet the father then. - He's blinking his eyes out of embarrassment.
- Did you want raise your girl to be tough?
- How could I?
She was our first child after 10 years.
I didn't know it was this bad.
- You had no idea.
- Do you show your affection to your daughter?
- A lot.
- Please show us how.
- I'd tell her I love her
and hold her hands.
- She's worse than Ha-eun.
- I want to buy her a nice meal or something,
she won't answer my phone call.
- You tell her you love her too.
Did you ever hit her? - No I haven't.
- Then why is she scared of you? - I know I look very rough.
But I'm very tender at heart.
So...
I always treat her like a girl. - You're tender at heart?
- Yes, although I'm a man.
- You're a lady. - Like a lady.
- Let me ask you something then.
Do you remember
when your daughter told you
that her friends are talking behind her back, saying that she's dirty?
- Then I tell her to do the same.
- How did you say it?
Show us.
- Do the same to them.
- But at that time...
People make fun of our fish store, they say it smells.
- Don't they eat fish?
What else would fishes smell like?
- Is that you talking gently with love?
- Yes.
Don't they eat fish?
- Have you ever been hurt from your father?
- Yes.
- Tell us.
- Let it all out.
- I brought a friend home one day.
All of a sudden, my dad would grab me here
and he dragged me into a room.
And then he would hit me with a fishing pole,
until the fishing pole would break.
- Why all of a sudden?
- He just started hitting me. - Why?
- Without a reason?
- I kept asking me.
He said that I swore at him.
That I swore at him all of a sudden
- What swear?
- You must've swore with your friends.
- But he thought you were swearing at him. - I didn't swear at all.
- What is this all about?
- Well, I don't remember this.
- You don't remember?
- I think this was when she was young, and I don't remember this at all.
- It was when she was in middle school.
- No, wait...
- I'm sure I didn't hit her hard.
- Wow.
- It's because she was in front of her friend.
It must've been so embarrassing for her
because you hit her in front of her friend.
Don't you think so?
- Oh, right.
I remember now.
Ay.
- You're not lying, right?
- I think I told her to do the dishes
and she talked back so I hit her once.
I think she talked back to me.
- Even when her friend was there?
- Even when her friend was there.
I'm rough. Just like how I look.
- You said you're different from how you look.
- I may look very tough.
But I'm tender at heart.
So I treat her like a girl.
- You said you're lady-like.
- A rough lady. - That's not true.
- How did you feel at that moment?
- I thought to myself that after 1-2 years I could go to a high school in Seoul,
That's what I thought.
- He doesn't hit you
very often though, right?
- No, but I think he hits me all at once.
- I hit her just once,
in 20 years.
- Just once?
- Yes, just once.
- Did it hurt because he hit you or because your friend was watching?
- That my friend was watching.
- Did it hurt your pride?
- Is that why you won't answer your dad's phone calls?
Is that why? - No.
There are many other reasons.
- Can you tell us just one?
What really hurt you.
- Sometime he would swear at me.
That was the most... - Swear?
- I don't think he's joking,
because he says it a lot.
- So you've never felt like
you were loved by your father when growing up?
- Never.
- Never?
- You've never felt that?
- You've never felt like you were loved?
- I really do love her from the heart. - But you can't express it.
- I can't express it well. - How did you express it?
- I don't really swear at her.
I call her sissy sometimes.
- Sissy?
- Well, she's a girl so...
- Yes.
- That's so...
- But... - I think I see how he is.
- The things that you said to her without much thought,
were hurtful to her.
From a certain time.
- I didn't mean to hurt her.
- She feels like you've been swearing at her all the time.
You need to change a little.
- I think I should.
- Mother, what do you think?
- It's really hard for me and I'm tearing up.
I never knew that my sister's concern was so big.
But I knew it must be stressful for her.
- Right.
We can understand that
you have trouble with your parents.
But we can't understand why you would sleep until 2 pm and
tell your auntie to wash your clothes and sheets.
You tell her to do that.
- I don't tell her to wash them, I ask her to wash them.
- You're living with her. - You're not giving her any choice
if you never do it yourself.
- It's common decency.
- You're the one who's living in her house.
- You should pay rent or something.
- Your auntie is not your parents,
so you need to act differently.
- How do you want
your niece to change?
- When she first came,
she said that she wanted to live a regular life like me.
But she's not living a regular life at all.
I wake up between 6 to 7 am.
She can wake up an hour later,
but not until 2pm.
I also want her to wash her own dishes.
She got into a new college.
I hope that she'll meet nice friends
and become a more positive person
rather than being the closed person she is right now.
- Do you thin you can do this?
- I'll try...
I'll try from now on.
- I think what's more important
than changing her life pattern
is for her to regain her confidence.
Her parents should show her more love.
- It seems like she's not communicating with her dad very well.
- Try practicing from now on. - Okay.
I'll talk with her more often now.
- What are you saying?
- No, wait. You need to practice right now.
- Yes. - Let's practice.
What do you say when your daughter calls her?
When your daughter calls you?
- "Yes."
"Why?"
Is this what you say?
- There is no phone call.
Call me.
- Just talk with your daughter.
- Oh, just with words? - Yes, with words.
- Just with words and no phone?
- Yes.
- Okay, I'll do that.
- Rrrring.
- Hello?
- Hello.
- Is this Hye-bin?
Did you eat?
- Dad!
Did you eat? Oh, you did? - Listen to her first.
Have a conversation
Answer her.
"Did you eat?" "Then hang up!"
It's not like that.
- Ask her if she ate well. - Have a conversation.
- Oh, a conversation?
Okay.
- Let's try again.
- We won't say anything.
Rrrring.
- Hello?
- Hello.
- Is this Hye-bin?
- Huh?
- Is this Hye-bin?
- Yes.
- It's hard to hear from you.
Try to answer when I call.
- I'm scared.
- No. Wait.
What's wrong here is that you're just complaining to your daughter.
You need to listen to her
and ask her how her day is going.
- Let's teach him then.
I'll call for an example.
Rrrring.
- Hello.
- Hye-bin?
Wow, this is so cool.
I've been thinking about you all day...
- What kind of father is that?
- Jin, Jin, Jin.
- She's not your girlfriend.
- Jin, Jin.
As the dad.
The master of old jokes.
- Hello.
- Is my daughter doing well?
- Are you doing well too? - Of course.
I'm preparing the fishes right now.
What is my daughter doing?
- Ask "are you tired?"
Dad, are you tired?
- Good.
- You're speechless because your dad is too handsome.
- What is he saying?
That dad... - That dad is weird.
Dad is weird - Why?
It's fine.
- You need to show her love first.
Show her how much you missed her.
- Rrrrring
Hello.
- Hello?
- Speak. - Hello.
- Is this Hye-bin?
- Yes.
- Did you eat?
- I just ate with auntie.
- What did you eat?
- Wait until she finished talking.
- I ate ramen with auntie.
- That's not good for your stomach.
Try eating some meat.
- Why don't you send me some?
- There must be some meat.
I sent some to auntie.
- Then it sounds like auntie stole the meat.
- Where did you hide the meat?
- I sent her a few days ago.
- Before you hang up,
tell your daughter how much you love her.
- Daughter, I love you.
- Tell her how much you miss her.
- I miss you to death.
- That's the best expression.
I miss you to death.
He loves you a lot,
but he just doesn't know how to express it.
- You need to know that.
- He's just not good at expressing.
- You just turned 20, so you'll slowly understand. - You should.
- She'll come to understand him.
- If she changes, do you want to
live with your niece for longer?
- If she tries, I want to be with her as long as I can.
I don't know how long we'll be able to live together though,
because I might get married.
- What are your plans for marriage?
- I'm ready, any day now.
All I need is a man.
- All you need is a man?
All you need is a man.
- Have you ever put yourself in your auntie's shoes?
She can't invite anyone home since her niece is home.
- Right.
- Isn't that the biggest concern?
- Anyway, let's be more mature now.
- Let's hear from Seung-hye first.
- I think Hye-bin's life will change a lot.
So I don't think it's a concern.
- There is an old joke.
The reason why students are strong in march is because school commences.
- Commence.
Because school commences.
- School commences. - School commences.
- Tae-joon, are you threatened?
Are you okay over there?
- I feel like today's my last day here.
- I think as school starts,
she'll fix her life pattern and she'll make a lot of new friends at school.
So I'll say that it's not a concern.
- It's time for her to be strong. - Because school starts.
- I don't think they would've come this far,
if she had expressed her gratitude toward her auntie.
I think things will change for the better if she can express her gratitude,
so I don't think it's a concern.
- Please press the button,
if you think this is a concern to have such a lazy niece.
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Stop. - We're done.
- To be honest,
I think I've always trapped myself
up until this age.
I always thought to myself that
I would never meet someone like my dad.
But when my dad passed away,
he told me that he was sorry
for the first time.
All my anger went away,
and I wished that he would've said it a little bit sooner.
Even if you're her parent,
you need to apologize for your mistakes
so that your daughter can get out of the pain sooner. - That's right.
- Is there anything you want to say to your auntie?
Since you took the courage to come on the show today,
why don't you try without the glasses? - Yes.
You're so pretty. - Just quickly.
- You're pretty.
- It's not a big deal.
- Yes. - It's okay, take off your glasses.
- She has really good skin.
Even from far away,
I can see that she has great skin.
- That's one of her attraction points.
Ji-min, pick one.
- I think she has pretty eyes. - Pretty eyes.
- I can't see her pretty eyes through her glasses.
- Why?
Why won't you do that for me?
- Why won't you do that for me?
- Say it once again.
- He's very envious.
- I think she has great skin.
- He's really strong.
- Take off your glasses.
Be confident.
- That's not even sunglasses,
and taking them off won't change anything.
Just do it.
- Quickly.
Let's be brave - Take it off.
- You even came on this show.
- It's alright. - Good job.
- Eyes.
- To your auntie.
Say something to your auntie.
Say "auntie,"
and looking at her face.
- Auntie, I'll try to behave well now,
so let's live together for a long time.
- Say I love you to your parents too.
You've never said it.
Until today.
Your father must want to hear it.
Say I love you to your parents.
- I love you.
- I love you too, my daughter.
- What did you say?
- Please say it again.
- Holding the microphone.
- Please give the mic to the dad.
- I love you too.
Let me hold your hand.
I never held your hand.
Ay. - It's so nice.
- It's the first time.
Holding hands
in 20 years. - Is it the first time?
- Yes.
- Let's see how many votes we got.
- Is it over 100 votes?
'Why did you come to my house?'
How many votes did it get?
108 votes.
- 108 votes.
That's a lot of votes.
- 'My son's taste'
Hello.
I'm a mother in my 40s, raising an 8th grade son.
It feels like only yesterday that he just started walking,
but he's now 178cm tall and looks like a grown-up man. - An 8th grader?
- But why is he so immature?
'Ho-dol, did you sleep well?"
"Daddy will play with you today."
"Aww"
- Daddy?
- "Rilla, daddy will feed you now."
"Let's eat and take a bath."
My son is still into playing with dolls.
"Do my babies want to go the beach with daddy?"
- Why is he taking dolls to a family vacation?
He must be crazy.
- "Mom."
"Ho-dol and Rilla are family too."
Our house is already full of dolls.
Rrrrring.
"Mom, there's a new doll."
"I need money to buy new dolls."
- "No, I'm hanging up."
Doo-doo-doo.
- Ding.
'Mom, give me money.'
Ding. 'Buy me a doll.'
Ding.
'I'm going to rebel if you don't'.
Ding.
'Mom, give me money.'
He'll keep calling me and send me 5-60 text messages.
I don't even want to look at his dolls,
please help stop him playing with dolls.
- That's strange.
- A lot of adults collect figures these days.
I don't this this is a huge problem. - Because it's just dolls?
- Yes.
- I don't think it's a concern too.
The crane machine is really popular right now and I talk to the dolls I won.
So I don't think it's a problem...
- "Hi, I'm your handsome brother."
- I don't go that far.
I only do that to people.
- To people.
- She is worried about her 8th grade son
who is obsessed with playing with dolls.
Let's welcome our guest.
- Please come out.
- Welcome.
Please introduce yourself.
- I have a daughter an an 8th grade...
- You have an 8th grade?
You have an 8th grade?
- I have an 8th grade son and my name is Kim Mi-jung.
- Since when did your son get into playing with dolls?
- He loved dolls ever since he was young.
- Since he was young. - So he's been collecting dolls since
and now he has so much dolls
including a puppy, tiger, snake and lion.
- Stuffed animals. - Yes, stuffed animals.
- Ho does he play with his dolls?
- When he wakes up, he feeds them.
He sits them beside him at the table while he's eating.
He would shampoo them as well.
- Regularly?
- Of course.
I just want to put them all in the laundry machine.
He hugs them when he sleeps.
- Hugs them.
- Does he also take them on trips?
- Our car is full of dolls when we're going on trips.
He puts on seat belts for them. - Seat belts?
- For the dolls?
- Even seat belts.
- At least they must be safe.
- So they can be safe.
- Is there a particular doll he likes?
Or does he like different animals?
- He just likes animals.
- Animals.
Stuffed animals.
- There's a lot.
- No, really...
How many are there?
- There are more than 100 dolls after I threw half of them out.
- You threw them out? Didn't he get angry? - He was furious.
He spends all of his allowance on buying dolls.
He wouldn't buy books but dolls. - That's strange.
- He even stole his sister's allowance.
- What if you don't give him allowance?
- He'll go crazy.
He wouldn't go to school and be late.
When he gets mad at me, he would skip tutor for like 3 days.
- But he's going through puberty,
so isn't it better for him to be playing with dolls,
rather than being rebellious and sensitive?
- No.
There is so much dust in our house.
I can't take care of it by myself.
When I get home from work, the dolls are lying all around the house.
He never organizes them and there is so much dust...
Dust from the dolls.
- I don't understand it.
Let's meet her son,
and ask why he's so into dolls.
Hello.
- Hello.
- He's handsome.
Do you like dolls that much?
- Yes.
- Why?
- There is this unique feel to dolls,
soft and fluffy.
- You don't like hard dolls then?
- No.
- Then what about cushions? These are pretty fluffy too.
- But cushions don't have shapes.
- They need to have a shape?
- You don't like this?
- No.
- What about this?
- No.
- Why not?
- You can name it 'Apple'.
'Apple'
- Why don't you like this one?
- Apple is something you eat.
- So it doesn't seem alive?
- No.
- But dolls aren't alive either.
They're animals.
- I like animals,
but my parents doesn't like them so they bought me stuffed animals instead.
- When you were young?
- Yes.
Both of my parents worked when I was young so I often felt like I was alone.
- You were lonely.
- Yes.
I tried playing with my sister but she was too young.
So one day, I played with my dolls and I really like it.
And I've been collecting dolls since then.
- Why don't you get him a pet instead?
- I did.
We had a dog when he was little, but he was still the same.
He had asthma since he was little.
- Then he shouldn't have pets.
- His eyes will turn red from the dust.
He had to put in some eye drops yesterday.
During change of seasons. - Is there a doll you like?
Which dolls do you really like?
- The Gorilla doll and...
- Rilla and Dool-e.
- What?
Dool-e?
- It's a poodle.
- Dool-e, Dool-e.
- You name them very easily. - Dool-e and Rilla.
- Rilla because it's a Gorilla and Dool-e because it's a Poodle.
- What do you usually say to them?
- "How did you do today?"
Just asking them how they feel.
- Do they answer then?
- Yes, because I think they have souls.
- Their souls are whispering to you.
- Do you switch up their positions too?
- Yes.
- Really? - Why?
- Even humans feel uncomfortable when they stay in one position for too long.
So I change the dolls' positions too.
- But I don't understand why
you bring your dolls to a family trip.
- Dolls are my family too.
That's why
- What about the seat belts?
- Once, my dad stepped hard on the brake.
And one of the dolls fell.
- They'll fall.
- And I stepped on it.
- Rilla?
So you felt sorry.
Then you should hold your dolls like this.
Without seat belts.
- It's hard to hold them.
- People will stare at him if he's holding a doll.
And he would start a fight with them...
- Who?
Your son?
- I stopped him a few times.
- That person must've been really surprised.
A guy hold a doll saying "What are you looking at?"
- That's not something to fight about.
- Did you try and pick a fight
because you were conscious about
how other people looked at you?
- That person ridiculed me and my doll.
- When you talk to your dolls,
for example,
"Rilla, what did you do?" and
"I like you"
Have you ever thought to yourself "What am I doing right now?"
Like this?
Just for a minute.
- I did once.
But I realized what I've done
and I really liked it.
- 'This is what I've done.'
- He has a very special love for his dolls.
He brought some here today.
Let's take a look.
- That's cute.
- Do you want to come down?
- Yes.
- Please bring the doll beside you too.
Bring it too.
- That's Dool-e in the front, right?
Take it off. It's okay.
Take it off over there.
- He seems very tall. - Take a seat.
- Please explain your dolls.
- This doll.
Once, I got an enteritis when I visited my grandmother's place.
And my aunt bought a doll from a donut place.
So I named it 'Kin'.
- 'Kin'
I think I recovered from enteritis fast because of this doll.
- Because of this doll?
Why are you keeping him separately?
This guy... He's smiling.
- Let me see. It doesn't seem like it.
- He's smiling.
- What's his name?
- He doesn't seem like his smiling, right?
Honestly.
But he's smiling if you look here.
Is he called 'Mile'?
- No.
No.
- Pan-dol.
- How did you know?
- I just thought it looked like a Pan-dol.
- Nice to see you.
- This is Dool-e.
PooDool-e.
- My grandmother got me this.
- Before she passed away?
- Yes.
- What's its name?
Is it Granny?
- No, Dool-e.
- Oh, Dool-e
- Granny.
- What about this guy?
- This is Rilla.
- It's smaller than I thought.
- Rilla's cute. - Rilla looks cute.
- My sister got this before she got married.
- Your older sister?
- I mean my cousin.
- Rilla's so cute.
- You can't hold it like this.
- Why not?
- Because it hurts.
- Oh, here?
- We can hold Rilla any where.
Because Rilla's stronger than we think.
- It's too cruel. - You can trust me.
I'm Mr. Animal Farm.
I'm Mr. Animal Farm - Right, right.
- But look at Rilla.
- His face doesn't look good. - Rilla is...
- Look at the mother.
- But you wouldn't go to school if your mom doesn't buy you dolls.
- That's very immature. - That's an immature thing to do.
- There is a different reason why I didn't go to school.
- Why?
- Mom once threw out all of my dolls.
But I had a lot of memories with them.
I really wanted to leave the house then.
- Why did you throw them out? Because they were old?
- They were dirty.
- The dolls are dirty and disorganized all around the house.
If I try to clean it up, he'll get angry and go into his room.
He yells at me that the dolls
are not in certain positions.
- Why do you get angry at your mom?
You didn't even clean up.
- Right.
- All the dolls are shoved into one side.
Because there's no place to put them.
But even humans feel suffocated if they're shoved into a corner.
- Then you should organize them yourself.
- His sister had to go to the hospital once because of all the dust.
She got bronchitis.
The doctor said that dust was critical for bronchitis,
and it turned into a pneumonia.
- Pneumonia?
- Yes, she actually got pneumonia.
- Be honest.
We need to hear.
- What did he do that his sister got bronchitis?
- Right.
- I want to meet his sister. - Wait a minute.
What do you want to ask?
- What were you trying to ask?
- Aren't you hungry?
- Should we grab something to eat?
- Is it okay?
- Let's meet her daughter.
His sister.
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Do you remember when you got bronchitis?
- Yes.
When he brought all the dolls, it got really dusty.
So my throat and head hurt a lot.
- Do you like dolls?
- I do, but it's not fun playing dolls with my brother.
- Why not?
- He just does what he likes.
- And he asks you to play all the time?
- Yes.
One time, I couldn't finish my homework,
so I got scolded by the teacher.
- You couldn't do your homework?
- If I don't play with him, he'll put tape on my door.
And block with a book shelf.
- So you can't come out?
- Yes.
- Because you didn't play with him?
- Yes.
- What do you think of your brother playing with dolls?
- It's so weird.
- First he pretend like he's an animal.
So he would make animal sounds.
Now, he would say a line from a drama.
- A line from a drama?
- If she doesn't respond well,
he'll knuckle on her head.
- What line did he ask you to read?
- Tae-jun was on this web drama called '109'.
- Tae-jun?
- I recently filmed a web drama. - What role did you play?
'109'?
- I'm a robot from the future.
- What did you tell her to do?
- I show her Tae-jun's clip and tell her to familiarize it.
- To familiarize it.
- I play Tae-jun's role and
my sister plays Chae-yeon's role.
- What do the animals play?
- The animals.
- Other characters?
- Yes.
- Is there a reason why you're saying lines from a drama?
- This is another concern.
- I dreamed to become an actor while watching '109'.
- Actor
- Yes.
- What is this?
- Thank you.
- This wasn't expected.
Show us the line
What Tae-jun did.
- There's a scene in the last episode,
where Tae-jun gets taken away by the bad guys.
- Then take me with you.
I can't let Baekgu go.
- Master.
If you come with me now,
there's nothing I can do for you.
- What's the line?
- Master, I can't help you if you come with me right now.
I can't...
help you.
I'll escape and find you.
- Can you show some emotions?
Is it because you're a robot?
- It must be because he's a robot.
- He's a robot.
- Should I show some emotions?
- You need to show emotions.
Of course.
To be a good actor...
Ready, action.
- Master.
Mast...
I can't help you if you come with me.
I'll escape and find you.
- It's the same as before.
- It's different.
- It's different?
- Yes.
- Why do you ask your sister to play with you?
You should just do it yourself.
She doesn't want to, but you would even tape her door.
- And block it with a book shelf.
- She was playing with me and all of a sudden, she left to do her homework.
It's annoying if someone leaves in the middle of playing.
So I did that out of anger.
- You may not know,
but your sister looks really tired.
I think she got tired from being with you.
She's so tired.
- Did you know that he taped his sister's
door and blocked it with a book shelf?
- I found out later.
My daughter gets so tired from playing with him.
- She seems tired right now. - Even her nose bled yesterday.
Chunks of blood were coming out.
So...
- From playing with dolls. - She couldn't sleep.
- Have you ever tried scolding him?
- Yes I have. - How?
- And then he drew on his wrist with a pen.
- He hurt himself?
- A drawing?
- He drew all over his arm.
- That'll make you worried.
- So I can't even scold him.
- I had finished all my homework then.
But my mom kept telling me to study,
so I did it out of anger.
- His friends are here.
Let's hear how he's like at school.
Hello.
- Hello. - Welcome.
Did you know that your friend loved dolls this much?
- Yes.
When we first visited his house,
he would play with dolls in his room.
So we thought that we shouldn't hang out with him at first,
but he turned out to be a good friend.
- A good friend.
- His dream is to become an actor.
Did you know about it?
- Yes, I knew.
- What do you think? - He told us.
- How do you think he is?
Do you think he'll become an actor?
- It's a bit weird.
- How is he in school?
In his class.
- He keeps pretty quiet in school,
and those who aren't close with him don't know how he is.
- But listening to his friends speak,
it seems like he's doing okay in school
without causing any troubles.
- I guess he does okay when he's in school.
But when he's home and I tell him to go out and play with his friends,
he says that he likes dolls better.
- Is he still like a baby?
Like, things that he can't do on his own.
- I have to be with him when he goes shopping,
and he'd call me when there is a mosquito or a bug in the house.
- Instead of catching it himself?
- So you're not just worried about him playing with dolls,
but how he acts immature, right?
- So you think... - He seems to lack independence.
- I heard he sleeps beside you.
- Yes.
- With mom?
- Yes.
- When he's in 8th grade?
- Not with his dolls?
- That's weird.
- He's acting like a baby.
A baby. - Why do you sleep with your mom?
Because I'm scared.
- Scared of what?
- I think there might be ghosts or bugs.
- Bugs? You're afraid of bugs?
- But all your dolls are protecting you by your side.
- At that moment he's like, "How can these dolls protect me?"
- "Those are just dolls."
- We actually asked some professionals.
Being obsessed with dolls after elementary school,
could be caused by lack of affection.
Would this be the case for you son?
Maybe you didn't give him enough love...
- Not really.
I would listen to him and do as he wishes.
I thought I raised him without any big issues.
- Like we saw from our earlier concern,
the parents could think that they're doing enough, when in fact, they aren't.- Right.
- Have you ever told your dolls
what you wanted to say to your mom?
- I kept changing my tutor after I got into 7th grade.
And I did really bad on my exams.
So I told my mom, and she scolded me a lot.
So I asked how I can maintain my grades
when I'm switching tutors so much.
- To your dolls?
- Yes. - Why didn't you tell your mom?
- Then she would punish me.
- I think I tried, but I guess it was not enough, the conversation.
This was all caused by dolls,
so I'm not sure what I should do with them.
I'm so concerned.
- You must be concerned.
- Do you have any hobby other than playing with dolls?
- Acting, running and basketball.
- Then why won't you go out?
To run and play basketball with your friends?
- The weather is bad.
- The weather? - Because it's too cold?
- It's too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer.
- There are indoor basketball courts in sports centers.
- I have to take a shower after,
because I sweat.
I'm too lazy to take a shower.
- You don't like sweating.
- So you don't like sweating.
- No.
- Then you don't really like exercising.
- Do you really want to become an actor? - Yes.
- As you can see from Tae-jun here,
an actor gets to play many different roles.
Right?
You have to talk to diverse people and have different experience,
in order to be a good actor.
You need to go out
and meet more people. - Right.
You need to build relationships.
- The only person you're interacting with is your sister.
Look at how tired she looks.
She must be having a hard time.
- Actors not only live their own lives,
but they have to console other people
which is based on love and understanding.
- What's more precious, your sister or your dolls?
- My dolls.
- What's more precious, your mom or your dolls?
- About the same.
- No one has the right to stop you
from doing what you love, since we're a democratic country.
But it's just too much.
That's why your mother is upset
and your sister is upset.
You're making everyone around you upset.
That's not right.
Do you think you can find a way
stop arguing with your mom and clean your dolls by yourself?
- Umm...
Yes.
- It's a good thing that he's admitting.
It's great that
he's admitting himself
and the situation.
- Please say something
to your son.
- Ye-joon, a doll is just a doll.
I hope you'll love your sister Yoo-ran more than your dolls,
and I hope you'll study hard.
- That must be heartbreaking.
- Seung-hye, is this a concern?
- I didn't think it was a concern at first,
but now I think it's definitely a concern for the mother. - Yes.
- I think he should go out and hang out with his friends,
so I think it's a concern. - It's a concern.
- I think it's a problem if he's more worried about his dolls breaking
than his sister who's hurting.
I think he should really think about what's the right thing.
- So it's a concern? - Yes, it's a concern.
- Jin.
- I think that he should treasure
those who are by his side.
- Please press the button if you think it's a concern.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Stop.
Say something to your mom.
She said something to you as well.
So...
- Mom.
I'll look after Yoo-ran only if she listens to me.
- Yoo-ran is your younger sister, right?
- Yes.
- But why would you say that you'll behave only if Yoo-ran listens to you?
That's a weird thing to say.
Your sister will get hurt from that.
You're telling her what to do,
taping her door.
"Act."
"You won't?"
This is what you're doing.
That's very wrong.
- You treat your dolls like human yet you're not treating your sister like human.
Look at your sister.
Look at her face.
How does she look?
Say something to your sister.
- You should tell her that you're sorry.
As a brother.
- Yoo-ran. Look at your brother's face.
- Yoo-ran, look at your brother too.
- Yoo-ran had a hard time.
- Tell her.
- She must've had a hard time.
- Let's play after you finish your homework.
- You need to tell her
that you're sorry sincerely.
- I'm sorry.
Umm...
- I think you're going through puberty,
and he'll understand his mother as time passes.
'My son's taste'.
I wonder how many votes it got.
Let's see the result.
- How many votes did it get?
151?
- Wow!
- You should watch this show after 10 years.
- Thank you.
- So, 'Stressing me out' takes this week's victory.
Here is your prize.
- For a healthy nation without concerns.
- We're always on your side.
- Thank you.
