- This concern is called 'An unbelievable concern'.
Hello.
I'm a girl in the 20s who is concerned because of my dad.
My dad lies about everything.
He prank calls me constantly.
- Hey.
Mom passed out.
- What?
- I think you should come home right now.
- If I rush to my house, my mom would be watching TV.
Once when I was young, my dad was like
- "Hey, isn't this night beach beautiful?"
"A lot of people come here to eat barbeque at night."
- So I was eating barbeque by the beach at night with my dad,
and we were taken to the army base for investigation.
It turned out we were in a maritime patrol area.
My dad's pranks seem to be getting more extreme.
My dad is well over 60 years old,
but he still loves to pull pranks.
Please help me stop my dad's pranks.
Let's welcome our guest.
Please come out. - Please come out.
- Hello.
Lalalalala.
- Did your dad really prank that your mom passed out?
- That's not all.
My dad and my sister came to
teacher-parent counseling.
And he lied that my sister was my stepmother.
- What? - Your sister?
- Yes.
- Your sister?
To your sister. - Yes.
- "Hi, this is the stepmother."
- Did your teacher believe that?
- Since my sister was much older than me.
My teacher told me that "Jung-hee, it must've been really hard on you."
- Your dad didn't even tell you?
- Yes, so I had to tell my teacher that
my dad lied and she was my sister.
- I've never heard anything like this. - Usually, people would prank
and then apologize right after.
- But he pretended like
she was the stepmother until the end. "Hey honey, let's go."
- What did your sister do? - Yes, your sister.
- Why did she not say anything?
- She must've panicked. - She didn't even know about it.
- She didn't?
- She pretends to be the stepmother.
- That's funny. - Is there anything else?
- He lied that the roof collapsed from heavy snow. - The roof?
- But if I go home, it would be fine. - Your stepmother is lying down.
- Wow. - Are you easily fooled?
- I could be, but my dad
makes up really realistic lies.
- He's good at pulling pranks. - Yes.
There was actually heavy snow that day and it was even on the news.
And dad lied that the house collapsed.
- The heavy snow.
- There's heavy snow?
Shall I collapse my house?
- Since I'm the youngest in my family,
he pulls a lot of pranks on me.
- He pulls the biggest
pranks on you?
- Yes.
- That's why she's here today.
- Go on.
- There's a snake.
- What? No, don't do that.
- How can you be fooled by that?
Why would there be a snake here?
- Did she say snake?
I thought she said stomach. To look at her stomach.
I heard stomach.
- In grade 8. - When I was in grade 8, he asked me to do a handstand.
And he was holding my legs.
- Holding your legs.
- So I was relying on him and then he let go of my legs.
So I hit my head on the floor
and I had to get 30 stitches.
- Wasn't your dad surprised?
Didn't he say that he's sorry? - Yes, he said he was sorry.
- You should've been angry at your dad.
Did you get angry at him?
Or did you just wipe off your blood like this.
What did you do?
- Even if I get angry, he doesn't mind a lot.
- He must get over it quickly.
- Like nothing has happened.
- He just laughs about it.
- I saw him when he was putting on the microphone.
He doesn't seem like he's the type to pull pranks.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Mic, mic.
Do you pull pranks on other people too?
Or just your family?
- I do it to my friends too.
I don't think it's a prank.
I have 3 daughters,
and they are all very shy.
They're really quiet,
and I started making jokes to make them more active.
- That's why you started?
- I think it's the stepmother beside him.
Why did you lie that your daughter is your wife?
- 15 years ago,
people would think that
she's my wife.
- Your daughter... - They look at me in jealousy when I go to the market.
- But why did you lie to your daughter's teacher?
- Yes, to her teacher. - She used to go to Jung-hee's school
if something happened.
- So they'll think that she's a young mom? - Yes.
- Then what about the time
when your daughter's head was bleeding?
- I know...
- That was to build up her nerve.
- Nerve.
- She's a girl and she needs to build up her nerve.
Her head... - What do you mean?
- It was bleeding.
So I thought I shouldn't do it,
but I kept doing it.
- Dd you seem him pulling pranks on anyone else?
- He runs a cafe, and he would tell the part-time workers to deliver coffee,
but no one actually ordered coffee.
- Yikes.
- What?
- And? - And he lied to one of our kitchen staff
that a customer likes her.
- Different jokes.
- So that kitchen staff actually approached that guy and
she quit her job when found out that dad had lied. - Yikes.
- Joking about stuff like that... - Because she was angry?
- Why did she have to quit her job?
- She could.
I like to joke around too but when someone goes that far.
- You should stop them.
- Most people would. - She must've been so embarrassed.
- It's to build up her nerve.
- He always pranks our kitchen staff
or part-time workers.
I'm the one who's the most affected by it.
Because I have to fill in when someone quits.
- You have to fill in. - Yes.
I have to fill in at the cafe.
I actually have a son in 6th grade now,
and I had to work at the cafe during my late stage of pregnancy.
Until the day before I gave birth.
He jokes around so much.
- Did he ever pull a prank on you too?
- I was Jung-hee's age back then,
and I was working at the secretarial department at a resort.
I was at a karaoke for a company dinner and
all of the executives, including the chairman, was there.
And I guess dad was drinking somewhere too.
He showed up at the karaoke. - I'm scared already.
- At my company dinner. - I'm nervous.
- He would come in the door doing a cartwheel,
and he would do handstands on the table.
Everyone was giving cold looks,
but he insisted our director and team leader to do cartwheels with him.
And I was so embarrassed.
I didn't even know how I should apologize,
so I just dragged him out of there.
And I almost quit my job.
- Why did you do that?
Your daughter was working.
- I did to entertain other people when I was drunk.
- I think it must've been harder for you since you are older.
Was there anything else?
- I'm always cautious when it comes to my in-laws.
- Yes.
Did he pull a prank on your in-laws? - To the in-laws?
- We all met for dinner once.
My dad brought some liquor as a token of gratitude.
And he filled them with water.
- Like barley tea?
- Don't you do something like that when you're in high school?
- To your parents-in-law?
- Yes, to my father-in-law.
My father-in-law is very strict.
And he asked "What is this?"
- He must've been like,
"Hi, I brought some liquor."
Then they must've said "Cheers"
and drank it. What did your father-in-law say?
- He said "This is weird, what is this?"
And my dad was like "Oopsie, it's water. My bad."
- I want to live with the dad.
- Did he bring actual liquor as well?
- No. - He didn't?
- He didn't even bring the real liquor?
- My son-in-law was there too and
I thought that I brought real liquor,
but I took the wrong one. - No.
You meant to pull a prank.
- How could I do that to my in-laws? - Right.
- Who has empty liquor bottles
filled with water lying around?
- Did you want to build up your nerve?
Did you pull a prank
on your grandson too?
- You shouldn't pull pranks on underage children.
- Hello.
- Hello. My name is Kim Soo-young and I'm in 6th grade. - So handsome.
- Hello. My name is Kim Mi-hyun and I'm in grade 3.
- Grandpa used to say that he's going to
give me some candy and when I open my mouth,
he would knuckle my teeth and it hurt a lot.
- He knuckled your teeth?
- I'll explain.
I'd pretend like there's candy. - "Do you want some?"
- And they'd go crazy.
For the candy...
- He must've practiced that a lot.
- Give me some too.
Give me some too. Ahh~ - Give me some too.
- He must've practiced that a lot.
- You can stop now.
That's 3 candies already.
Please tell us about your grandfather.
What do you think of him?
- Hmm... - It must be hard for him.
- Why?
- Grandpa and I went riding on a boat.
He left me unattended and I almost drowned.
He used a rope to rescue me...
- So you came out of the water.
- I went on a trip to Hong Kong with grandpa and we saw full-figured ladies.
And he said to them "You guys seem very fragile..." - Wow.
- Making fun of them.
It was so embarrassing.
- Didn't you do anything?
You should've paid back to him.
- Once I made him salmon sushi and I put a lot of wasabi in it.
It was really satisfying.
- I think you probably don't have a Lt of friends because of your pranks.
Do you have a Lt of friends?
- A lot.
- Aren't you pulling pranks on your family because you don't have any friends?
- I have friends.
- Give us names.
- I have a lot.
- You seems very outgoing, you probably plays some role in your community.
Do you?
- I'm the town leader.
- A silly town leader.
- He just like being active. One time, it was summer and
he put on an announcement that there will be heavy rain.
And all the customers in the outdoor pool left. - They left?
- They all left. And our townspeople did business there.
- Oh no.
- Was there a riot?
- They all complained to him about the announcement.
They were all angry at him, but he said that he was just joking.
- "You need to evacuate."
"After eating a candy."
Isn't this what you said?
- You should resign.
- Did you see the weather forecast today?
- I didn't. But I could tell by the shape of clouds.
That's how I could know.
It really did rain, although not much.
- One of the people from his town came here today.
- It's not easy to come all the way here.
From Muju. - Let's see if this is true.
- Isn't she here to sue us?
- Hello.
- How is he around the town?
- He puts on really random announcements. - For example.
- He puts on announcements when we're eating dinner.
And then my dad would say,
"there he goes again."
But he doesn't have much to say.
He says "Is everyone eating dinner?"
"Please eat some delicious side dishes."
That would be the announcement. - What is that?
- That's the announcement?
- I think you must've had some difficulties
because you're much older than your sister.
Is there anything else?
Can the oldest daughter talk?
- My dad is a good person, as you can see.
He became a surety for 7 people.
And all of it went wrong at the time when my second sister had to go to college.
She needed money to apply to college.
My mom had given up
on everything at that time.
Jung-hee was 3 years old at that time.
I had to take Jung-hee when I went to write exams.
I got married later on,
and I had to find the house that we had lost.
So we went to court for the auction of our house.
My dad said that
" I did all this to
teach you about auction." - Because he was sorry.
- I used to get angry when he joked around,
even when he needed to be serious.
I'm old enough to just accept him now,
but I think it might be a concern for Jung-hee.
- Your mother's not here today.
- Yes, everyone but the mother.
- Why didn't she come?
I think she must have the most to say.
- Our mom has been suffering from cerebellar atrophy for 6 years now.
It's a disease where her cerebellum shrinks
and she loses her motor skills.
- Is it Parkinson's Disease? - Yes, it's like that.
They said she won't be able to walk in 5 years.
It's been 6 years and she's still walking,
but she still trips a lot.
- She must be careful. - That must be difficult for her.
- One day, mom fell to the left.
And my dad said,
"Since you fell to the left today, you must fall to the right next time."
- That can hurt her feelings. - That's harsh.
- That's not a good joke.
- It wasn't a joke.
It's hard to watch your family suffer.
So I didn't want to...
- You didn't want to treat her like a patient. - Right.
That's why I said it.
- Even during difficult times.
- You're trying to laugh through it.
Saying that it's hard to
watch your family suffer.
- Yes.
- It's a really hard job to take care of someone who's sick.
Do you understand that though?
- Yes.
I left the house because
it was so hard to take care of mom,
but dad has to live with her.
I understand that but he would leave the hospital for a long time.
- Because she's alone.
And one day she fell on her way to the restroom,
because she lost her motor skills.
- She cut her philtrum and broke her tooth...
It would be nice if dad would
come back to the hospital early.
- It's not difficult for her to go the restroom if he's around.
- Right.
Mom doesn't usually talk about that kind of stuff...
So she just lied on her bed
waiting for dad to come.
I was really mad at dad then.
- Do you think that dad
takes care of mom well?
- I think he's trying his best.
Jung-hee might think that he's not doing his best,
but everyone tells him that he's doing a really good job.
But he should be...
- A bit more serious? - A bit more serious. - Yes.
Since mom is sick, I think she'll fall into despair
if someone hurts her ego.
So I hope that he wouldn't do that,
but I think he kind of hurts her ego.
- How?
- My mom gets a lot nightmares and it's part of her sickness.
- When she's sleeping? - Yes.
Her nightmare lasts for about one hour
and I get so scared whenever she gets a nightmare,
because I feel like something's going to happen to her.
So I hold her hand.
- Or wake her up?
- Yes, but my dad would record it. - What?
- And he says that this is why he comes to the hospital late.
- Did he show that to mom as well?
- He did.
- I didn't drink much
before my wife got sick.
But I couldn't get any sleep while sleeping beside my wife.
And I would get so stressed out.
So I'd go to the hospital when
I'm a bit drunk and my wife is asleep.
- Why did you record it though?
- Because no one knows how she is during her sleep.
- How did mom react when she heard it?
She didn't like it, right?
- No, she didn't.
She didn't know about it...
- I think that's why your daughter said that mom's ego was hurt.
I think that's what both daughters wanted to point out.
- I think you came here today because you want his promise.
What promise do you want from him?
- It's been 6 years since mom got sick.
We can laugh about it now, but we had some really hard times.
But...
Dad is over 60 years old, but he's still pulling pranks.
I hope that he jokes just lightly
when it comes to mom's sickness.
- Right. It's great to have someone like him around.
Making people laugh with a candy.
But it can be upsetting when
he jokes around even when he needs to be serious.
You want him to be a little more serious from now on, right? - Yes.
- What do you think?
I think you should respond
to what your daughter said.
- I've been to every hospital to make my wife healthy.
I even went to China and
I went to Busan 10 times just in spring of last year.
Like Jung-hee said, I'll do anything as a husband and father
to make my family happy...
- She'll get better.
- Your daughter isn't saying that
you didn't take care of your wife. - Yes.
- What she wants from you,
just like your eldest daughter,
is for you to not hurt your wife's pride.
So maybe you should watch
some of the thing that you say.
- Let's hear what our guests think.
Let's start with Zizo.
- The atmosphere has changed.
I think it's a concern.
If his daughters were hurt by his pranks,
I think he needs to ease up a bit.
- So you didn't think it was a concern at first,
but you changed your mind near the end.
- Okay.
- I think the dad showed
his willingness to change at the end,
so I don't think it's a concern.
- It's not a concern. - Dad's a cheerful guy,
but his daughters are suffering from his excessive pranks.
Please press the button if you can relate to this concern.
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Stop.
- Do you want to say something
to your dad from the bottom of your heart?
- Dad, I know that you're having a hard time since mom got sick.
I feel bad that I can't help much,
and that I'm leaving you alone.
- Jung-hee, I...
- Please let her finish.
He's shy.
- We'll let you speak after.
- I asked my mom if she could come on the show today,
but she refused until the very end.
She must be the one who's suffering the most,
but I thought it might be nice
if the whole family could make a good memory together.
I hope that my family will get through
the hard together and be happy.
- I think mom and dad are good people,
because they raised their children very well.
- I think they're great.
- I think they're really great.
You've raised them to be good people.
I think your last responsibility is to take care of your sick wife,
and it might be a good idea
to be a little more serious.
Please say something to your daughter.
Call her name. - Jung-hee, all your sisters left the house
and you're the only one who's still with us, so please come home often.
- So that he can pull pranks on her.
- Because he's bored. - I'll take more care of your mom and
I still have hope that she can get better.
And I'll do anything for her to be healthy.
So don't worry and live your life.
- I think you're too soft, you need to build up your nerve.
- It's because she's never seen him so serious before.
Are you touched by him? - Yes.
- Speaking from the bottom of his heart...
- Please be like this more often.
- Your daughter said that
she wanted her mom to share
this experience with the family.
Please tell her something.
- Honey,
I will do everything to protect you from now on.
I love you.
- Thank you. - Please say what you wanted to say to your daughter
when you gt your house back through the auction.
- Thank you, Duk-hee.
Thank you.
- Okay. You're a funny and cheerful guy
but sometimes your family misses you
being a serious father or
a serious husband.
I think you should be serious
when you really need to be.
- I'll try my best from now. - Good luck.
- 'An unbelievable concern.'
I wonder how many votes it got.
Let's see.
- 135 votes?
- Wow.
- 115?
135?
105.
Thank you.
The next concern is called 'Do you want a taste?'.
Hello.
I'm a 21-year old university student.
I've been friends with my shocking friend for 10 years.
"Ta-da, I made some fried rice."
"Peach fried rice." - "Huh?"
- "Ta-da, it's vitamin pill rice." - "What?"
Vitamin pills... - Vitamin pills rice.
- "This is a Pompey steamed eggs."
"It's so tasty."
"Taste some."
"Really."
"Eww"
She keeps asking me to try some.
One day my friend drank some milk.
"My stomach hurts." "Why does it hurt so much?"
"Hey, are you crazy?"
"This milk has gone bad."
I don't know if I can say this on TV,
but my friend is a taste bud trash.
- This should be a new slang.
- Taste bud trash. - Taste bud trash.
- I think she'll make all of us lose our taste buds.
Please help me stop my friend.
- Taste bud trash.
- What on earth is a vitamin pills rice?
- Peach fried rice.
- I can't picture it at all.
- Vitamin pills rice.
Let's meet our guest who is
concerned of her friend who likes to whip up bizarre cuisines.
Please come out.
Hello-o-o.
Lalalalala.
I've never heard of anything like this.
What is a vitamin pills rice?
- She mixes vitamin pills with rice
and puts a sunny-side up egg on top.
- Is it like putting black beans in rice?
- Like black bean rice...
- She mixes the vitamin pills into the rice and eats it with an egg.
- My friend is very unique.
She always like to make up new recipes.
- People like that loves challenges.
- She would put in mustard sauce in black bean noodle.
- Mustard sauce?
- Until it turns yellow.
- Why?
Does she want to be a chef?
- How much mustard does she put in that it turns yellow...
- So it has to turn yellow.
- She says that it's tasty.
- How does she make steamed eggs?
- She puts in a whole bottle of syrup.
- Then it must get extremely sweet.
- I took a bite and spit it out right away.
It's not something that you can eat.
- I'm most curious about this one.
Peach fried rice.
What does this taste like?
- She doesn't use a lot of different ingredients.
She just puts sliced peaches on rice.
- Without any sauce? - No sauce.
- That must be gross.
- You just stir-fry it and eat it. - Have you tried it?
- Yes and it tastes like steel.
- Steel? It tastes like metal?
- How long have you been friends with her?
- We were best friends since middle school.
We didn't have a lot of money so we would eat at her house,
and I've been food-tortured since then.
- Since middle school?
- She likes to surprise me.
Sometimes I don't even know what I'm eating.
- Like I didn't know that she put in some ingredients.
And I just ate it without knowing.
- You might not know.
- Like she would say that
it is a fried rice but it turns out
to be peach fried rice that tastes like steel.
- Yes, like that.
- Let's meet her friend.
I see a couple friends, but I'm not sure who she is.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Since when have you been eating like that?
- I think since grade 7. Both of my parents worked
so I had to take care of myself.
And I also had to take care of my little brother.
- He must've suffered a lot. - Her little brother.
- No.
He really likes it.
He eats it well.
- He likes it? - Is he here today?
- Pardon? - Did he come on the show?
- No, because he's in grade 12 and he's busy studying.
- Probably because he's suffering.
- Why do you make your friends
eat your food too?
- I just gave it to them to try
because I found it delicious.
- Did you find the peach fried rice to be delicious?
- I didn't find it weird.
- But everyone thinks it's weird.
- Let's start with how you get your ideas.
Why did you decide to put vitamin pills into rice?
- My parents always put out vitamin pills
but I kept forgetting to take them after my meals.
- You forget sometimes.
- So I thought about putting on the rice.
- How do you think is is?
- It tastes okay. - It makes sense though.
- It makes sense.
- What do you think was
your best combination recipe?
- The black bean noodle with mustard.
It's so tasty.
- What kills me is that I actually want to try it.
- I want to try it out.
- Is there anything that
you haven't mentioned that's bizarre?
- Putting pills in ramen.
- What pills?
- The oriental medicine pill? - Yes, the round ones.
- The round pills?
- How many?
- About 8 spoonfuls.
- That's a lot.
- Why, why? - Wow.
- But it was actually okay.
It tasted healthy.
- Pills are usually bitter. - Right.
- Didn't you think that it might taste bad?
- No, I just added the pills for health
because ramen is bad for your body.
- To neutralize it?
- That's because...
- Taste bud trash.
- She's a taste bud trash. - Taste bud trash.
- Who is that beside?
- It's a friend who is also a victim.
- A victim. We can tell.
- Have you tried the pill ramen?
- She would pour yogurt in it
because it's bitter.
- In ramen? In ramen?
- Yes. - Is it ragurt?
- I don't want to eat it because it looks dangerous...
- It's too dangerous.
- We can't tell just from hearing about it.
She brought some of the food
that she made right before the show.
- Let's make the guests eat them.
- Yes. - I have a strong stomach.
I'll try it.
- Let's bring the food.
- It looks okay. - Please explain what these are.
Since you made them. Let's start with this one.
- These are kids' vitamins and
there's a fried egg on top.
This one's really easy.
You just need to sautĂŠ some rice
and then pour it on top.
And... - This is black bean noodle.
- Yes. You just need to put mustard sauce on it.
I think I put it in 3-4 times.
- That's why it tastes so sour. - Yes, this smell.
- Is the sauce already mixed in?
- Yes.
- It looks tasty. - It's all dressed up.
- What is this steamed egg?
- This is Pompey steamed egg.
It's eggs and starch syrup. - Starch syrup?
Eggs and starch syrup?
- Yes.
- Everyone, let's try these.
I'm most curious about this peach fried rice.
- We should try these too.
- This is actually not bad.
- This doesn't look different from other steamed eggs.
- Most steamed eggs are salty.
They're usually salty.
- It's nice and sweet. - This is pretty good.
- It's tasty, right? - It's tasty.
- Really?
- It's tasty.
It's good.
- Swallow it.
- I swallowed all of it.
- It's good. - It's still in your mouth.
It's still in your mouth. - She must've put in a Lt starch syrup.
- This is better than I thought.
- What do you think, Dong-yeob?
- This is pretty good.
- Really?
- Really.
- When you go to Japanese izakaya, they serve eggs that are sweet.
- It's sweet.
- It's salty and sweet.
Yes, it's sweet.
- Girlfriend, what do you think?
- It's good. - Really?
- Yes.
- Look at Umji.
- The friend seems like she's the weird one now.
- I think this will be good with liquor.
- That looks the most delicious.
Let's try something else first.
- Peach fried rice.
- The peach fried rice first.
- Peach fried rice. Peach fried rice that tastes like steel.
- I really don't want to try this.
- Oh no.
- I've never smelled anything like this.
- But it's not that bad.
- You taste the rice first and then the peaches.
But it does taste like steel.
- He's spitting it out?
Why? Tell us.
- Making this on purpose...
- You can spit it out.
- I'm cleansing my palette with the steamed eggs.
- The steamed egg tastes so good after eating this.
Really.
- It's like someone spit it out.
- Like someone spit it out.
- Like chewing leftovers... - It's very sticky...
- This and vitamins...
Is that just put on top?
On plain rice?
- There's some inside as well. - There's some inside.
You eat the vitamin with the rice. - Why?
- Being an MC for this show is a difficult job.
Why do they have to do this?
How is this good for their health?
You'll go to hell,
if you play around with food.
I tried it... - What is this?
It tastes bad.
- Wow.
- It just tastes like vitamins, not rice.
The texture is so weird.
- The rice tastes sour.
- You...
Phew. - Really?
Does it make you angry?
- Eat the vitamin rice...
- And eat steamed eggs to make it better.
- Can we eat the black bean noodles now?
- Wait.
This...
- I can hear the crunches.
- Why?
- It's tasty.
Vitamins are tasty.
- Vitamins are tasty.
- The taste of vitamin is conquering all. - That's right.
- I'll try this.
- I'm nervous.
- I wonder how this tastes.
- It should be alright.
- It's sour.
- Why? Why are you?
- Eww...
- Why?
- Steamed egg. - What is this?
- Why?
- Are you out of your mind? Why would you make this?
- I like this one the most...
- This is the worst.
What is this?
- This is my favorite one out of all.
- No! Stop it.
What do you mean it's your favorite?
It tastes like black bean noodle that's gone bad.
- Try making the steamed eggs at home.
It's good. Try it at home.
Except for this one..
- Try it.
Just try a little bit.
- It's your favorite.
- Did you cook it well today?
- Yes, it's fine.
- Wait a minute.
Since we're all curious.
- I want to give him some to try.
- Dad, dad.
Dad!
- Dad!
- This is a great recipe.
- Why? It tastes good.
- A special recipe.
We'll give you some tissue. How does it taste?
- Like it's rotten...
- Please give him a spit cup.
- Like it's rotten.
- Who wants to try?
- Don't try it. - You want to try this?
- The steamed eggs.
Tae-jun, give him the steamed eggs.
It's really good.
- Try the steamed eggs...
This is good. - Huh?
Mr. Paris.
Paris, the heaven of cuisine. - Mr. Paris.
- Where are you from?
Paris? - Yes.
- Do you speak Korean? - Yes.
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- No.
- I don't have a boyfriend.
- What?
- He is from Paris.
You take this.
Take it all.
- How is it?
- It's good.
- It's good?
- He must be hungry.
- Is that the taste of France?
That's the taste of France.
- She just likes to create recipes, is that such a big problem?
- She has a different taste palette from most other people.
She can't tell the difference between what tastes good and bad.
So she eats food that has gone bad.
- Food that went bad? - Food that went bad?
- When we're eating bread, she would put on this mustard sauce.
But the mustard smelled somewhat strange
and its color was strange.
It was actually 5 years past the expiration date.
She wouldn't know that.
- And what else?
- When I was at her house, I wanted to drink milk.
So I opened the milk in the fridge and it smelled really bad.
It was 10 days past the expiration date.
So I told her that the milk in the fridge
was 10 days past the expiration date and that she can't drink it.
But she said that she drank it in the morning and she was fine.
- She drank it?
- Yes, a glass.
Food goes bad easily in the summer,
and she would get food poisoning.
She gets enteritis 3 times in a year.
She'll get stomachaches too.
- How can you eat food past the expiration date?
- I don't really check the expiration date.
If I'm lucky, my friends will find out
and tell me that it's past expiration date.
- That means you're lucky. - Yes.
I have weak intestines. - You have weak intestines?
- I'd eat a lot of food that went bad.
So I had to go to the hospital often when I was in middle and high school.
I couldn't change my habit.
- Since she can't tell the food apart,
we prepared some food.
Let's see if she really can't tell the difference.
- We have milk that's 5 years old.
- Really?
- It's like cheese.
- Just for this concern.
- Let's take a look at each.
- First, the rice balls here.
Let's try this one first.
People would smell it first
and then eat it. - Yes, why don't you explain it.
- How is it?
- It smells like Kimchi.
Smells like Kimchi.
- It's cold.
To start off, it's cold.
- It's cold and smells like Kimchi.
- It's cold.
- It's cold and smells like Kimchi.
- What is that?
- It's a bit salty.
- Just a bit salty?
- It's salty. Just salty.
- It's just salty? - Yes.
- Let me have a taste.
- I'll smell it first.
It doesn't taste different from normal rice ball.
It smells okay.
- How is it?
How is it, Shinbi?
- It's really salty.
- It's really salty?
- She said it's a bit salty.
Umji?
- Arghh.
I'm surprised that after she ate
almost half of it,
we didn't say anything
and she tried to eat more.
- She tried to eat more.
- It smells like Kimchi. - Smells like Kimchi.
- It's cold.
It's cold.
- It's cold and smells like Kimchi.
- I wouldn't dare to eat something this salty again.
- This is the new salt rice ball.
- Wow. - When Young-ja ate this,
she was like "Tuna."
- Really?
- She chewed a couple times and she's like "Tuna."
This looks like iced chocolate.
Drink some.
And tell us how it tastes.
- Just tell us honestly.
- This is a little salty too.
- This is salty too?
- Like chocolate with salt.
- Is it okay though?
- It's similar to this one.
- What?
- Yikes, it's so salty. - This is even more salty.
-Wow.
Does KBS have insurance?
My organs are not feeling well. - Wow.
- Does it smell like fish sauce?
Did you taste the fish sauce?
- I didn't taste the fish sauce.
- You just thought it was salty, right?
- I thought it was just salt.
- Let's try the next one.
- This is really scary.
- What do you think it is?
How does it taste?
- It tastes like cake. - Just cake?
- Chocolate cake.
- Just chocolate cake.
- You like cake.
- Try some.
Who wants to try?
- She keeps eating it.
- It's tasty, right?
- It's good.
- Let's try it.
- It's salty.
- It's salty?
- A little salty? I don't know if I should call this salty.
Salty? A little salty?
- This is...
- I like sweets. - There's something to it.
It's sour.
- This is sour. It's not salty.
It's vinegar.
There's no salt in here. - It's vinegar, right?
Is it vinegar? - Yes, it has vinegar in it.
- I can taste it right away.
- It's tasty. - Why...
- I don't like any of these.
- I think she's crazy.
How can she eat this?
She eats sour chocolate cake and then drinks fish sauce.
- I think it's a habit.
- Wow. - Drinking fish sauce iced chocolate and vinegar cake.
You are truly a taste bud trash.
Okay. - Okay.
- Wow.
Look.
It's vinegar.
- This is fish sauce.
- You didn't taste the vinegar at all,
and you just said that it was salty.
Do you admit that you have weird taste bud?
- I found it a bit weird.
- You found the food to be a bit strange. - No, no.
I think your reactions were strange.
- Oh, us? - She's thought she was fine.
- Why?
- I don't think it was that bad.
- No, no.
You could smell the fish sauce.
The smell.
- I really couldn't smell the fish sauce.
- You need to know that if a food has gone bad or
if it's about to go bad.
Because if you keep eating food that's gone bad,
it can make you sick.
So you began to eat this way
because both of your parents worked and they couldn't prepare your meals.
- Right.
- They must feel so bad for you.
- Do your parents know that you eat like this?
- They don't.
- Oh no...
- Your mom must be heartbroken.
If you like making up new recipes,
why don't you learn some healthy recipes?
- I like cooking, but I'm not good at it.
I can't even cook rice by myself.
- You can't cook rice?
- I can't cook rice.
I can't even cut up fruit nicely,
so I just mix the ingredients.
- Just putting in on pre-made food.
- Right.
- Just putting the fruit on top.
- You just need to stir it with a spoon.
- I think that she ate a lot of rotten food
since she was young because her parents were not there.
- That's unfortunate.
- She doesn't know what it's supposed to taste like.
- "Is this how it actually tastes?"
- I think she needs to learn how to eat all over again.
From the start.
On purpose. - Always check the expiration date.
Always. - Even 6th graders can make salmon sushi.
- For revenge.
Let's hear from our guests.
Starting with Zizo.
- I think it's a concern because
I'm worried that it'll be harmful for her health.
- I think it's a concern too.
- Me too.
I thought it was a concern the moment I took a bite of the peach fried rice.
- The moment you ate it.
- Please press the button if you think this is a concern.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Stop.
Since your friend came on the show because she cares about you,
please tell her how you'll change.
To your friend.
- I'll always check the expiration date.
I don't know if I can change my recipes,
but I won't force you to eat them.
- Okay.
- Try to make and eat food that
other people find delicious as well.
Let's see the results.
'Wake up' has 152 votes right now.
'Do you want a taste?'
The last digit is 5. All the last digits are 5 today.
135?
What is it?
- This guy is giving people around him a hard time,
because of his stubbornness for 20 years.
Hello. I'm a female in my 30s, living in Euiryung in Kyungnam.
I'm the youngest of 5 siblings.
All of my siblings are married, living a normal life.
But one of my brothers,
is driving me crazy.
"How's my singing?"
"Your face is glowing."
"Your body is glowing too."
- What song is that? - What?
- Please sing it properly.
- I couldn't remember it for a moment.
"It's bad."
'What would you know about music?"
"Never mind."
My brother's dream is to become a trot singer.
It's been 20 years since he came to Seoul to pursue his dream.
My brother's turning 40 next year.
- And he still hasn't become a singer?
- A lot of time has passed.
- "Shouldn't you find a stable job now?"
"The only path for me is to become a trot singer."
"What about marriage?"
"I'm married to my music."
My 80-year old parents are so worried about him as well.
"Son, can't you just live a normal life?"
"Don't call me if you're going to nag."
"When will he ever grow up."
Please help my brother stop
his obsession with becoming a singer.
- You're well recognized now,
but how would you feel if you've been a rapper for 20 years
yet no one knew who you are?
- I think I would've given up.
- Given up.
- Because I have to think about
my financial situations too.
- It's the reality.
- It's hard to overcome financial difficulties
as an unknown rapper.
- Right.
Let's welcome our guest.
Please come out.
Exactly how old is your brother?
- He's 39 years old.
He turns 40 next year.
- There are a few people
who become famous really late.
- And trot singers are usually older. - That's right.
- But it's been 20 years since he came to Seoul
from Euiryung in Kyungnam when he was 23 years old.
He didn't achieve anything.
He's just working part-time at his friend's store.
- Part-time.
- He's just making a living with a part-time job.
- Before we officially start, we need to get your assurance.
Sometimes we get fished.
- Right. For promotion.
- Did you send us this concern just to promote your brother on TV?
- No. Like I mentioned before,
my parents are quite old.
They are almost 80 years old
and their health is not great. - Health.
- All 4 other siblings are married and have children.
- I hope you don't mention marriage in front of me.
- So my parents are really upset.
I think my parents are the ones that want him to stop the most.
But I'm here for them since their health is not good.
- Is your brother bad at singing?
- He's bad.
No, it's...
- He's bad.
- Really? - He's really bad.
He would text me and tell me to hear him sing.
I would listen and he's really bad.
- Did he want to sing any genre or trot in particular?
- When he first came to Seoul when he was 23 years old,
he just wanted to become a singer,
not a trot singer in particular.
He came to Seoul and he saw that
he had different options.
He thought it would be a good idea to work as a broadcasting staff
and he also did a little acting.
He also sold some cellphones and ran a Shabu Shabu restaurant.
He also tried doing nail art business.
- He tried a lot of things. - But he didn't do anything persistently.
And now he's trying to be a trot singer.
- So it hasn't been long since he wanted to become a trot singer.
- Did he go on auditions?
- A lot. But he's not a good singer.
He would all fail the auditions. - There was one person whose face
turned stiff when she said that "He's not a good singer."
I think that's her brother. Let's meet him.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Were you a little mad when she said that you're not a good singer?
- I'm not that bad at singing.
- So you think you're a good singer?
- Then you must not understand your sister's concern.
- No. - There are a lot of
audition programs in the countryside. - Right.
- And he would come down to the countryside.
But he's not a good singer.
- Your brother? - Yes.
- He didn't debut yet?
- No, not officially.
I know that he has a fake name though.
It's Kang Won. - Kang Won?
- Kang Won as in Kangwondo?
- So I thought that he would debut,
but he would just shoot music video on his own.
- Shooting music video by himself?
- Yes, and he said that he goes on shows in the countryside.
I would look up on the internet to see what kind of show it is,
but it wouldn't even appear on the internet.
He probably doesn't even get paid.
- Why Kang Won? What does it mean?
- It means that there is only one king of trot.
- One king of trot?
- There is only one king of trot.
- One king of trot, Kang Won?
- Kang Won.
Won.
- It's good to see you
work hard for your dream
But you're turning 40 next year.
Aren't you worried about your future? - And marriage.
- I really love music and
I don't really want to get married.
- Not at all? - No.
I'm glad that I can make people
happy with my music.
- It seems like you've had different jobs
like the Shabu Shabu place and selling mobile phones.
It doesn't seem like you've only been into doing music.
- Mr. Zizo. - Yes.
- Mr. Zizo. - I don't know him well, so...
- That sounds weird.
- It sounds like a swear.
- Anyway, like Mr. Zizo said...
- Just call him Zizo.
- So Zizo. - Mr. Zizo sounds weird.
You can just call him Zizo. - Okay.
It's hard to do music
if you don't have financial support.
So I would get a different job and save money for a year,
and then focus on music for another year.
- But he has no money saved up.
- Why? - Did he spend it? - Of course, he did.
- I wouldn't complain if he invested the money on himself.
But he easily buys into frauds.
Some people would approach and tell him that they'll help him with his career.
And he would fall for it.
- Aye.
- So he has no money saved up.
I don't know if I should say this, but my brother...
- Why? - He has bad credit.
- Really? - Really?
- Yes, so...
- All talent agencies that ask for money are frauds.
No one would ask their artists to pay money.
- I worked at a supermarket during the day and at an academy during night,
to save up some money.
- You worked hard.
- They asked me to become a trainee.
So I practiced for about 5-6 months,
and they said that I had to release an album first.
But they said I have to invest some money
to promote my album...
- So how much did you invest?
- About $5,000.
The money I saved up. - And what about the album?
- $5,000 20 years ago.
- So there was no album.
- And was there another time you were ripped off?
- Again? - When I was 28-29 years old,
I worked at a live cafe and they provided food and house for 2 years,
and they said that they'll help me release my album.
So...
- A live cafe would help you release an album?
- So I went to the cafe in the middle of the mountains where there was no heater,
and I would serve and work in the kitchen.
My employer changed his word as time passed.
So I was really hurt.
- Tell us another time you were ripped off.
- And the music video.
I made it with the money I'd saved.
- How much? - About $10,000.
- That's a lot of money.
- The money just disappeared.
After the Shabu Shabu restaurant,
I had some debt.
- You have debt? - Yes, about $60,000.
- That's a lot. - I think he should do hip hop.
- Why? - I think he'll have a lot to say.
You need some sorrow for hip hop.
I think that's worth almost 2 albums right there.
- What's scary is that he might actually change to hip hop.
After hearing what you said.
- Be careful. - Be careful of what you say.
- Aren't we going to hear him sing?
- What? - Shouldn't we hear him sing?
- We should.
I want to listen to him slowly.
- Why? I don't want to be disappointed.
I'm worried that we might have nothing to talk about after hearing him sing.
- Talking about random stuff.
- Maybe we'll start talking about rap.
- As soon as you hear it, you'll just say "Stop."
- Is it that bad?
- If you don't feel confident,
you don't have to sing.
- I'm confident about trot.
-Let's hear it.
- Let's hear it.
Please come out.
- I'm nervous.
- We have low expectations, so...
- He looks good.
- Here it is. - I'll sing 'The Barley Hump' by Jin Sung.
- The barley hump?
- You're singing about your life. - Yes.
Jin Sung, Jin Sung.
- Jin Sung.
- A song by singer Jin Sung.
Hello.
This is the trot singer, Kang Won. Hello.
- Nice. - Really nice.
- Kang Won.
- Child, please don't run.
You'll get hungry.
The barley hump of sorrow.
Hold the starved stomach,
and drink a bucket of water
to ease the hunger.
How did you live through that?
- It's not bad.
- The days of roots of herbs and barks of trees.
Mother's sorrow.
We've forgotten about it.
The barley hump of sorrow.
It was the mother's sigh.
- Thank you.
- He's good.
He's not that bad.
- It's difficult. - He's better than we expected.
- She said that he was really bad. - So we had no expectations at all.
- We thought it would be horrible.
- Then I wouldn't have come on the show.
If everyone thought he was terrible,
I wouldn't try to stop him myself.
He might be good for a normal person.
But I don't think he'll succeed as a professional singer
- You probably sang this song
because you practiced really hard
and you're the most confident about it.
- Dong-yeob, you have sharp analysis.
Pointing that out. - Sharp analysis?
- You call this sharp analysis.
- Another song. - On the spot.
- Please go ahead.
- I'll sing 'The Samba Lady' by Seol Woon-do.
- Please go ahead.
- Samba, samba, samba.
I see you dancing.
Samba, samba, samba, samba.
My lovely dear.
You're my love forever.
- His voice.
- Everyone's puzzled.
'He's good.'
'But he's not great.'
I think that's what everyone's thinking.
- It's not hot or cold. - Right.
- But he doesn't have his own color.
- I think I would've stopped you if you were my brother.
If you were my family.
- If you give up on your dream because of your family,
will they take care of your life?
That's a hard thing to do.
If you can bear the burden of your dream
I think you can try a bit more. - Yes.
- Okay. I think his friend is here.
Let's meet him.
Hello.
- Hello. - How do you know each other?
- I've been friends with him for 4 years.
- He looks more like a trot singer.
- Can you understand his sister's concern?
- I'm on my friend's side.
Most people give up on their dreams
because they don't have the courage.
or they're confronted by the reality
But I'm rooting for my friend
because I know that he can succeed.
- Would you feel the same if he was your family?
- From the family perspective, it might be worrying.
- He's very calm. - Okay.
- How can you change your opinion so calmly?
- I might think like his sister.
- But you're not his family.
- Just because you're not family.
- I heard you have 4 siblings.
- It's my second eldest brother and his wife
- What do you think?
- I used to root for him when he was younger,
but now I've given up on him.
- Given up? - Yes.
I only came here because
my sister and wife was
coming on the show.
- It seems like you are
a little upset at your brother.
- I'm very upset at him.
- Why? - Why?
- Shortly after he went to Seoul, he got into a really big fight
with our eldest brother and didn't talk to the family for 3 years.
- To the family? - Yes.
- Yikes. - My dad couldn't farm because he got sick,
so our eldest brother quit his job to work at my dad's farm.
And my eldest brother asked him
to help around the farm for a while.
But he firmly refused,
saying that he was busy and that he needed to become a singer.
My eldest brother said "I gave up my job for the family,
why can't you do the same?"
"Didn't you live all your life just for yourself?"
And they had a big fight.
- What made you talk to your family again?
- My dad was sick and he didn't want to
see his children fighting with each other.
So...
- That's most upsetting for the parents.
- My dad once said that
"Would you stop fighting only when I'm dead?"
That we were undutiful children.
That broke my heart.
- His love for the family is big.
But it's too big and
he wants to succeed
to take care of the family.
But what we want is something small.
For him to visit during the holidays
and give us some phone calls.
But he keeps saying that he'll succeed and take care of us all.
And he tells us to just wait.
- You don't want anything that big. - Yes.
- Was there a time when you were upset at him?
- A year after my brother came to Seoul,
I followed him to Seoul when I was 21 years old.
Following your brother. I was in Seoul for about 10 years.
With my brother. - You were with your brother?
- I was living with him,
and one day he told me that
he was going to Japan.
He got a position at a live cafe in Japan,
and he told me the day before he left.
He just told me.
And the next day he left.
So I had to move to a small studio
and live by myself.
I had come to Seoul because my brother was there,
but he just left me
- Why did you go to work at a live cafe in Japan?
- I got ripped off from
a friend I worked with for a year.
I was so close with him,
and he ripped off $14,000.
I just hated people back then,
so I left the country.
- You probably found your brother to be a little selfish.
- My dad suffered from cerebral infarction a few times,
so his right body is almost paralyzed.
And mom just had a surgery for colorectal cancer.
- They're ill. - And they are old.
Sometimes when they get really angry,
they'll say,
"Won't you come visit unless we die." - You didn't go on the new year holiday?
- Were you sorry? What is it?
- When I ran the Shabu Shabu business,
I used to support them financially
for their hospital costs.
But after my business went bad and I got debt,
I was ashamed of myself. - You changed.
- I wasn't proud in front of my parents.
I kept avoiding them.
- I'll tell you this.
There's nothing worse than not calling your parents
because you're sorry for them.
Just think of it this way. - Yes.
- You've been ripped off by someone.
By someone you know.
But he can't afford to pay your money back.
So he avoids your call.
because he's sorry.
But he's really sorry,
and he didn't mean to do it.
Even if he can't pay the money back,
if he called you to explain the situation
and you met him occasionally,
wouldn't you feel better?
Even if he can't pay back the money.
Right? What your parents feel is greater than this.
It's hard for them since you don't call them.
- Do you want to financially support your family?
- After you succeed?
- What I want to do the most is
their house went on auction.
- And someone bought it?
My parents...
I want to buy them a house. - Buy them a house
- I want to buy them a house.
My sister is the most worried about me.
I want to succeed to prove it to her and treat her well.
- Right. - Can you tell us how you plan to succeed?
- I'm composing a song right now.
I want to succeed with my song.
They really like me in the countryside.
So I want to keep working hard
and become a good singer.
- To be brutally honest,
people in the countryside will love you
only because you look good and you're singing for them.
But do you know what the hardest thing is?
It's when someone you don't know sings a song you don't know.
Someone unknown singing a song
that they made up.
This is really difficult.
Instead of going on shows in the countryside,
maybe you should find someone
and get intensive lessons.
- I think you should set a certain limit
as to how long you will continue to pursue your dream.
- I will try until I die.
- Until you make it?
- That's what I was thinking.
- Is this the Indian's ritual for rain or something?
Doing it until it rains.
- Hmm... - This is frustrating.
- Please say something to your brother.
- I think you want a jackpot.
So that you can make
all of us happy.
But that's not what we want.
We just want to spend time together.
I think you can get a stable job
and still do music as a hobby.
I hope that you will spend more time with us.
- Let's start with Umji.
- It's a precious dream.
I don't think it's a concern that he wants to be a trot singer,
but I think that he should spend his time more systematically,
instead of wasting his time.
- Shinbi. - I think it's a concern.
- It's a concern.
No one, no matter how close they are,
can stop you from achieving your dream.
But I think this is a concern, because he is hurting the people
around him in pursuing his dreams.
- Please press the button
if you think this is a concern.
-5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Stop.
- Please say something to your sister.
- I will try to take care of the family, instead of just pursuing my dream.
I'll try to not to make our parents worry about me.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sure your parents are watching,
please say something to them.
- Mom, dad. I'm always thinking about you,
but I think I've been avoiding you.
I'll try to call you and visit you more often from now on.
I love you.
