Happy to be together on "Happy Together"!
Please welcome today's very special guests.
Kim Jiyeong, Pyeon Jungsu, Lee Hyewon,
Lee Yunjin, and Kim Miryeo.
- Welcome. - It's good to see you.
There's a difference in how they show their delight.
- Moms do this. - "Hello, everyone."
They wave in circles when they're really happy.
It looks like you three men are in a women's sauna.
Not all single women do, this but in most cases
the younger single lady guests are shy and wary.
The moms go all out.
They're here to have fun.
- It's great. - I was here a few years ago
when I was in my 30s.
- Yes, five years ago. - Has it been that long?
It was in my mid-30s then.
- I was shy. - You were.
- I remember jazzing up my shirt. - You did that.
Now that I'm over 40, I don't care.
This time you went favor of accessories.
- You have now different vibes. - Gold.
- You're relaxed. - I won't get to talk much today.
You never did talk much.
These ladies juggle work, love, and childcare
so today it's the Working Mom Special.
I'm a father, too,
- and it's really tough. - It's not easy.
You dads don't know how moms feel.
- Dads don't know. - Please introduce yourselves.
- I've been married for 12 years now. - 12?
- Yes, for 12 years. - You're old Bokgil.
Yes, I played Bokgil.
- You might not know. - It's not "old Bokgil."
- What, then? - "Ex-Bokgil."
- "Ex-Bokgil"? - Ex-Bokgil, currently Kim Jiyeong.
- Ex-Bokgil. - That's me.
I am Nam Seongjin's wife and
- Nam Gyeongmok's mother. - What a sweet name.
I'm actress Kim Jiyeong.
I never met Gyeongmok but it's such a friendly name.
- Just one son? - Yes.
- Have a daughter. - You should.
- I want to. - A daughter or another son.
- You aunties. - You need a son.
I want a son.
Jungsu, introduce yourself.
I think I was the first one to get married here.
It's been 20 years.
- You? - Over 20 years.
- No one else, right? - I'm in my seventh year.
You're practically a newlywed.
Everyone under ten years is a newlywed.
- Ten years is a milestone. - I passed that.
I've been married for 20 years.
- My eldest goes to college next year. - Really?
She starts college in February.
Some would think her sibling
- would be in college. - Yes.
I used to feel embarrassed to be a mom at my age.
But now I feel proud.
These days, people say they peak at age 40.
My daughter's my friend.
One daughter is a senior in high school now
and the ten-year-old who likes to play with dolls
is my mini-me, so I have two girls.
I'm happily married and we live in a pastoral house.
I thought I heard you say "pastry house."
Where is your pastry house?
It happens, okay? My pronunciation...
You started off so nicely.
Then you went from mini-me to pastry house.
Hyewon, introduce yourself, please.
I'm an elder stateswoman Miss Korea, 15 years ago...
An elder stateswoman?
An elder stateswoman Miss Korea?
- I've been married for 13 years. - Already?
My daughter is 12.
My son just started elementary school.
- Together? - Same here.
- You, too? - Really?
- They go to the same school. - Same class?
- No. Show some interest. - No?
How would I know if it's the same school?
He got scolded, "Show some interest."
So you're a mother of two.
- My husband is... - Ahn Junghwan.
I envy him.
Is Rihwan the older kid?
- My girl Riwon is older than my boy Rihwan. - I see.
So far we met three out of our five guests
and the fourth has bloodshot eyes.
- It means she feels nervous. - And pressured.
- Guess who she's married to. - Actor Lee Beomsu.
We all know who he is.
Introduce yourself, please.
Hello, it's my first time on the show.
I'm the mom of six-year-old girl Soeul
and 13-month-old boy Daeul.
I'm married to Lee Beomsu
and I'm a simultaneous interpreter.
Did we have subtitles?
- Did you memorize that? - Did you?
I've never been to a place like this.
Excuse me... "A place like this."
I'm so nervous.
- You have the look of an actress. - Thank you.
- You should act. - Excuse me.
What on earth are you doing?
Why are you talking about Instagram?
Why do I hear the word "follow"?
Jungsu, are you looking for work?
She's our new MC.
If he's 13 months then he's just over a year old.
- We just had a party. - You lost the baby weight.
I lost it right away. It's hard caring for two kids.
You used to be a little chubby but you aren't anymore.
Yes, you're right, we met once before.
You attended a fashion show recently with your husband.
- Yes. - How'd you know?
I read the papers, too.
- The papers? - Papers report about fashion shows?
It's possible, but...
- I just remembered something. - Go on.
I don't buy clothes often
but when I do I buy at this store.
I heard that Myungsoo's wife Sumin...
She mentioned a celebrity.
Sumin is a real celebrity now.
- Stop right there. - So I...
- You're putting me in a tough situation. - I....
I am picky to buy one good item.
I can't buy too many, I'm not a celebrity.
The staff kept egging me on.
"Park Myungsoo just came by with his wife."
"They bought a lot."
- You're rich. - Good for you.
- You must really be rich. - He's loaded.
That's how the salesperson gets other people to spend.
- Beomsu gets worked up. - Are the clothes expensive?
- Does he get worked up? - He does and says...
"You should buy more."
That's why I wanted to meet you.
Where is that shop?
- I should go. - It'll be called "Myungsoo's store."
It'll be called "Han Sumin's store."
When Beomsu heard that
- we called you, didn't he give advice? - He's funny.
I was surprised to get the call.
I'm not known to the public.
This is a major variety show.
- Thank you. - It's your first variety appearance
and you know major and minor?
- Jaeseok. - Are there underground ones, too?
She's an interpreter. She has to say English words.
He's honored my first show is a major weekday show.
He told me to do well, that you'd be nice to me.
- Did he say that? - I'm jealous.
- Did your husband say anything? - No.
He left the kids to go play baseball.
It's baseball day.
- Seongjin always says the same thing. - What?
"Try to be modest."
- My husband said something like that. - Did he?
- I'm an actress. - He ruined his image way too much.
"Are you going to make a fool of yourself?"
"Try to be calm and modest."
If you do as you're told and keep quiet and calm,
they'll say, "Didn't you talk?"
- I wouldn't get screen time. - "What did you do?"
That's just what they say.
- They aren't quiet ladies. - They aren't.
- Miryeo. - Yes?
We'll let you introduce yourself.
I've been married for two years and just had a baby.
I'm comedienne Kim Miryeo.
- She didn't sleep last night. - Why not?
- Her baby was sick. - She had a fever this morning.
I was with her at the hospital then came straight over.
- When your child's sick... - It must've been hard.
She managed to get here okay but that's her baby's bib.
- Is it? - It's my daughter's bib.
- Why are you wearing it? - To show off.
I had no time to decorate my tee.
No one here did anything.
But I'm here with a model, so...
- It bothered me. - I just noticed that...
you're the only one to bring something.
No one else decorated their tee shirt.
- Moms have work to do. - We're busy.
There's no time for that, is there?
Miryeo, you gave birth last year.
Yes, on August 30.
- On August 30. - In the heat of summer.
Seven months ago.
- I don't mind the heat much. - That helps.
You can't turn on the AC.
- I did. - Excuse me, can you please talk with us?
Can we join in?
Jungsu, are you the ringleader?
It feels like a kids' cafe.
The moms are talking while the kids play.
Men don't know but new moms have to stay warm.
We can't use the AC and have to eat hot food.
- Are you crying? - No, I yawned.
She lacks sleep.
So Miryeo's daughter is seven months old now.
- Isn't she at her cutest now? - She's adorable.
- My daughter... - She's beautiful.
- I think she's pretty. - She's so beautiful.
- Is she? - Miryeo has lovely eyes.
She does have pretty eyes.
- She is so cute. - I'm amazed.
She looks like a baby model.
- She was a bit younger than now. - Three months?
- Her eyes... - It looks like three months.
- 100 days old. - At her 100-day party.
- How come... - She's adorable.
- They're bigger. - They're a third of her face.
- She has a nice nose. - She does.
- She has her dad's eyeballs. - Her dad is handsome.
- Is he? - She has huge eyes.
- She has huge, dark pupils. - They're almost black.
We invited five ladies to our Working Mom Special.
Let's talk about what you've been up to.
- Jiyeong, you briefly joined the army. - Right.
- Was that tough? - You did well as the eldest.
Why did you cry so much?
- I cried less than the others. - Did you?
- Amber cried way more. - The others had a hard time.
The younger girls cried a lot and I held it all in.
When my husband called my name after the ceremony...
"Thank you. I will do my best."
When I heard my name...
- The floodgates opened. - Yes.
- As the eldest I had no one to talk to. - I see.
My body ached, I was tired, but I couldn't say so.
- Do they go lightly on the women? - The training?
It was a CWOP, a cold weather operation,
and we took the noncommissioned officer course.
- It was really tough. - What was the worst? CBR?
- I struggled with aches and pains. - Were you hurt?
I had hurt my back filming something else before that.
- I thought it had healed, but... - It worsened.
I already had a bad back and we couldn't sleep much.
Even if you work out regularly,
army training makes you use muscles
you didn't even know you had.
- Your mother-in-law was there. - She narrated it.
She was the narrator.
- What did she say? - When I first told her about it,
she said, "You're doing all sorts of things now."
- "Must you take it that far?" - Did she say that?
And then she narrates with such gusto?
Her narration sounded so jovial.
- You're sharp. - She eggs people on.
- I was so shocked. - She said, "It was so much fun."
Jungsu is the typical troublemaker.
- I'm so sorry. - She's terrible.
I exaggerated but it's true.
- She's the mischief maker in every drama. - Right.
- She's a typical troublemaker. - I wasn't like this.
I used to be very mild-mannered.
- Actresses are like that. - My role consumes me.
- I played serious villains. - Did you?
- When I did, they were bad. - Did you play villains?
Did you play villains?
- In my 20s. - Your 20s?
- Was Bokgil evil? - Not her.
- I played a villain a few times. - Did you?
I played Bokgil and then a serious villain.
- The elderly tend to... - They really get into it.
- They can't tell me and my character apart. - Right.
Sometimes I'm walking along and an old man grabs me.
- Then he smacks my bottom. - Really?
With his walking cane.
"The nice Bokgil changed since she moved to Seoul."
"Get a grip. You should leave Seoul."
The elderly think Bokgil moved to Seoul
and turned evil in another drama.
They think I'm Bokgil.
- That makes sense. - It does.
It's like that for actors.
Middle-aged ladies just grab us comediennes.
They even get our names mixed up.
"Kang Shinyoung, why are you here?"
"You're hilarious, you know that?"
They shove their thumbs into my eye.
"We love you."
"I can't believe Kang Shinyoung's in my house."
"I'll be famous."
"Kang Shinyoung's in my house. Come and see her."
- Do you know Myungsoo's incident? - Do you?
"Look, it's Uhm Yongsu."
- "Uhm Yongsu." - "It's Uhm Yongsu."
"What are you doing here, Yongsu?"
- Praying mantis. - I was called a praying mantis.
"Look at that praying mantis."
"Grasshopper" didn't come to mind fast enough.
- The elderly are like that. - It's common.
You do look like a praying mantis.
Back when I was Cabbage, I was called a yam.
Someone yelled, "Hey, Yam."
- Did you just make that up? - I didn't.
- To survive? - It really happened.
Who'd confuse a cabbage with a yam?
- I was called a yam. - It can happen.
He yells at us whenever we talk.
You're lying just to get noticed.
- Lettuce sounds more plausible. - That's right.
- Onion, lettuce, yam. - He's making it up.
Hyewon introduced herself earlier by saying...
Try to understand. He's old.
Although you're an elder stateswoman Miss Korea,
- you could still compete. - You could.
I'm too old.
I think we have to mention this.
If we think about all the famous athletes,
- their wives are all beautiful. - Listen.
Comedians and athletes have beautiful wives.
- Not all the time. - Why are you looking at me?
Not all comedians marry beautiful women.
- Some are disasters. - I was pretty once.
- You were the prettiest of them all. - She was.
Wives of athletes in Korea and abroad...
- Ki Sungyueng's wife. - Han Hyejin.
Chu Seonghun and Yano Shiho. Lee Songjeong.
Lee Bongwon's wife Park Misun is beautiful, too.
Do things get competitive?
- A bit? - The hottest topic among us is
what we cook for our husbands.
- What you cook. - For their health.
Athletes need to stay healthy and full of energy.
I got attacked by a lot of the older wives at first.
They asked casually so I answered truthfully.
They said, "Oh, is that why he scored?"
Then the next time we meet they ask for some.
I see.
- So it's competitive. - Yes.
Because we're already wives and moms,
we don't care about looks anymore.
Your husband lived abroad for a few years.
Do the wives there get together, too?
- Very often. - Do they?
Are they all beautiful?
- They are, but it's the same. - How so?
- They ask what we eat. - They ask that, too?
They ask what Korean athletes eat before matches.
What do the foreigners eat?
They cook whatever is trendy at the time.
- It was mainly pasta. - Was it?
What was the best health food you heard of?
- Snake? - Eel.
Wherever you go, athletes eat eel.
Does the husband's stats or condition
- influence how the wife feels? - We have gatherings.
If my husband didn't score in the previous match,
I don't attend that gathering.
- I'm too disheartened. - Because of the result.
- So it does affect how they feel. - I guess so.
There are matches every week.
If he scored then do you dress up?
- I do feel confident, then. - Confident and proud.
Speaking in a higher tone.
"What lovely weather."
- But it's raining. - I see what you mean.
It's nice if they do well.
Let's move on to our fourth guest now.
We all know Yunjin as Lee Beomsu's wife.
Could you tell us what exactly it is you do?
You were in a commercial.
- She's really famous. - I know.
- I'm a simultaneous interpreter. - Simultaneous?
- Did you teach your husband English? - I do teach.
- You taught him? Is that how you met? - Yes.
Don't you speak French?
I do and I also lived in Indonesia for a long time.
- Do you speak Indonesian? - Yes.
Do you speak four languages, then?
My French is very rusty now.
Could you say something in French?
- I'll introduce myself. - Okay.
Don't expect too much. It's not so great.
I don't speak French but the pronunciation...
Did you just talk gibberish?
- How about Indonesian? - Indonesian?
That sounds fake.
- Bintang, bintang. - "Bintang" means "star."
- I said I met some stars. - That's what it means.
So it's a bit like twinkle, twinkle.
That's true.
English, English, English.
Hi, "Happy Together" viewers.
My name is Yunjin Lee.
It's my great honor to be part of this great show.
Thank you for inviting me and
hope you enjoy it to the full. Ciao.
All the gestures she made as she talked...
- It's so natural. - It is.
- Were you born overseas? - I was not.
My father worked abroad in the 80s
as a resident employee of overseas companies.
- You lived in Indonesia for a while. - 10, 11 years?
- Because of your father? - Yes.
- So you picked up the languages. - Naturally.
There are international schools and Korean schools.
I attended those and spoke Indonesian with the locals
- and English at school. - That's impressive.
- You met Beomsu through English lessons. - Yes.
Who else did you teach?
- You all know the singer Rain. - Yes.
Rain's English teacher.
When he was preparing to enter the US market
and working on his Madison Square Garden show.
It was a four-month project.
- Is that possible? - His English is pretty good.
I was given just one goal and nothing else.
"His US concert is just four months away."
"The concert has to be performed in English only..."
"and at least 50 percent of the interviews..."
"or press conference should be conducted in English."
- Is that possible? - Was it?
He was filming a drama and doing promotions
- in Hong Kong, China, Japan... - When did he study?
Whenever he was free. In his van.
- At the gym. - Were you always around?
- Like a member of staff. - Can you study at the gym?
- I ask him questions. - Such as?
"Tell me about your music."
- He had to answer. - While exercising?
Yes, while exercising.
"My music is kind of hip-hop and R&B style..."
I'm thinking it can't be easy teaching a celebrity.
You can't ask when he's out of breath.
Did someone recommend you?
After graduating from college,
I worked as an anchor at a local MBC station.
That's when someone told me about Rain's project
and suggested I give it a try.
I had a video interview with Park Jinyoung.
He loved doing video chat at the time.
- He taught dancers online. - He's a step ahead.
- He liked that. - He's a pioneer.
Luckily for me, he liked me enough to hire me.
I learned a lot during that time.
I got to go to the MTV HQ and Madison Square Garden.
From what I heard, simultaneous interpreters
sometimes meet with world leaders.
They work with our President or visiting dignitaries.
They sit in the center and relay messages endlessly.
- That has to be stressful. - You can't miss a thing.
One mistake...
Interpreting isn't about speaking fluent English.
It's more about having a quick wit and knowing jargon.
You can feel suffocated just by being close to someone.
What's the toughest time for you?
- When dignitaries talk over a meal. - That's hard.
The setting alone is tough.
- A dignitary who's eating. - With mouths full.
They speak in low voices and there's no microphone.
I lean in and take notes without being too intrusive.
When I have to reply quickly...
- That's why you had big eyes. - What if
- you miss a word? - That's when I use my wits.
- I switch that with a mundane word. - Do they ask
what the other person said?
They tend to stick to the same theme.
In a welcoming speech,
the speaker thanks the guests, mentions the weather,
mentions the agenda and hopes they have a good time.
So whenever I get stuck or miss something,
"Enjoy your meal."
I realized that Yunjin's always...
She's always rolling her eyeballs and looking around.
That's why she has big eyes.
Whenever she talks she does this...
You look startled.
You're always looking around.
When you're interpreting for dignitaries, I heard that
certain topics require indirect translations.
Foreign celebrities have to overcome jetlag
- and busy schedules. - Right.
- What celebrities? - Who can you think of right now?
Michael Jordan.
- Did you meet him? - For real?
- And Beckham. - Beckham?
Does he really look that fabulous?
Yes, he's very handsome and tall.
I meet a lot of people as an interpreter
- so I became good at reading faces. - Really?
- You do all sort of things. - While with Beckham,
I decided to see if I could do it with foreigners, too.
He has small eyes that look like this
and he closes them when he smiles,
so I thought a lot of women would fall for him.
His wife has him in her clutches.
- His daughter... - He adores his daughter.
He talked to his sons every now and then.
He's a family man.
What about Michael Jordan?
I interpreted for him after he'd retired.
He was a bit older by then.
He played a bit of basketball and came back exhausted.
- Michael Jordan was? - Yes.
- Michael Jordan? - He's in his 50s now.
I didn't want to talk to him when he was panting.
That's when you have to glance sideways.
- Looking startled again. - You're always glancing.
You must have trouble sleeping.
- It's so much fun. - It is.
- Thank you. - This is fun.
- She looks even prettier now. - Right.
She's still glancing around.
We'll come back to you a little later.
Miryeo is finally back at work.
- How long has it been? - How long were you away?
I stopped working as soon as I got pregnant.
- Over a year? - How are things now?
Did you miss working while you took a break?
At first, it was so relaxing and great.
I'd just sit around at home and do nothing.
- "I must be cut out for this." - For raising kids?
I thought it was great but then I gave birth.
That's when I started feeling greedy.
What kind of greed was it?
I get to watch a lot of TV when I'm at home.
- "Comedy Big League"... - Your old colleagues.
Gukju's so famous now.
"Comedy Big League" became a hit after I left.
I heard that Gukju's imitation of Kim Boseong
- was your idea. - Was it?
- Miryeo did it first. - It was after I'd quit.
I was a happy newlywed.
One day out of the blue Yeongmi called.
"I need you to do the Kim Boseong thing."
- So I showed up. - And?
I just didn't have the energy level to pull it off.
- You use your abdominal muscles. - Yes.
Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty...
- That kept happening. - You're out of breath.
- I felt too dizzy. - That's hilarious.
- Then Gukju... - She had the energy to do it.
She auditioned that for the producers a few weeks later
and that's when I realized it was perfect for her.
"Gukju, you look and sound just like him."
- It became a huge hit. - A serious hit.
Didn't you feel jealous about her success?
- Were you saddened? - Yes, I was very saddened.
- If I see her commercial on TV, I text her. - What?
"Congratulations."
- Then... - I always say, "Congratulations, but..."
We saw a photo of Moa earlier.
How about we see some other photos?
We'll see a few of Yunjin's family photos.
- That's sweet. - They look just like their dad.
- Beomsu's on the left. - See?
- That's our son. - The same hair.
They look so much alike.
- This is me and Soeul. - She looks like you.
- She looks just like you. - Just like her mom.
- Wow. - She looks like her dad, too.
- I see that. - They have a similar vibe.
Beomsu actually requested that
we call him during the filming so he could talk.
- Did he ask you to call? - Yes.
- Did he really? - Yes, to offer some moral support.
Shall we call and see what he's up to?
It says "Oppong."
- It says what? - "Oppong."
A cute way of saying "oppa."
He must be busy.
- Hello? - Hello?
- Beomsu. - Hello?
- Hello? - Hi, you're on "Happy Together."
Carlos. Carlos?
It's your wife's first appearance.
- Are you worried? - I am. How is she doing?
- She's doing so well. - We love her.
- She interpreted for us. - She's amazing.
What were you doing right now?
- I'm in Gapyeong. - What for?
I'm a college lecturer and I'm here with my students.
- I see. - You teach.
- You went camping. - Yes, for once.
Isn't the weather great?
It's a lovely spring day and we're all happy together.
You sound like a correspondent we sent to Gapyeong.
- Beomsu. - Yes?
How would you describe your wife?
My wife is very...
She's lovable and shrewd.
There we go.
I'm thankful because she makes up for my shortcomings
and she gives me objective advice.
- I see. - Was it love at first sight?
I can't answer that.
- It wasn't. - It wasn't.
- If you can't answer... - "I don't recall."
You're a correspondent. You have to tell us.
- Mr. Lee? - Yes?
We've heard more than enough praise.
How about her shortcomings?
Does anything come to mind?
- My wife's shortcomings? - Yes.
She's meticulous to a point where it's exhausting.
You said that was her strength.
But for example, if I had a really long day
- I want to postpone something till tomorrow. - Yes.
My wife won't let me do tomorrow what I can do today.
She motivates me in a way where I have to do
what I'm supposed to do when it should be done.
So you like that but dislike that at the same time.
If I didn't like that, I would have told her off.
- There's a huge age difference. - Of 14 years.
- No, it's 12. - 12 years?
- 12 years. - Not 14?
Is a 12-year age difference hard to overcome?
I'm just thankful it isn't 13 years.
He's witty.
Is there anything you'd like to say to your wife?
Honey, I hope that today
you have fun and enjoy yourself while you're there.
Enjoy the camp.
- I will. - Bye.
Bye.
- Bye, thank you. - Thank you.
Bye.
- That was nice. - Do you use the honorific?
Usually yes, but I don't when we argue.
- Even though he's older? - When we fight, yes.
- Of course. - He's lucky if she doesn't swear.
Hyewon, that was a powerful punch.
- Let's dig deeper. - It's inefficient.
- What is? - I usually initiate the fight.
I say things like, "Oh, look at that charisma."
To tease you?
- When you're angry? - "Oh, such charisma."
Then I don't use the honorific and complain to him.
He says, "You'll regret that."
He cuts it short.
Doesn't Junghwan have a temper?
- He seems to on TV. - What is he like?
He has a temper.
- Do you fight back? - When we argue,
he opens his eyes wide and says, "I'm older than you."
Then I just give in.
Just one comment and I give in.
- What about you, Miryeo? - He's younger.
We started using the honorific from the beginning.
- When we fight, too. - Isn't that hard?
"This is wrong, you know."
That's how they fight. It's true.
- It can't be. - I saw them fight. It's true.
- Does he talk like that, too? - Yes.
Who suggested you argue like that?
When we were dating,
we talked like that to be cute to each other.
When we're in a good mood we talk like this.
- "What happened?" - When you're in a bad mood?
"What happened?"
- That's funny. - That's cute.
Let's see Hyewon's family portrait.
- What's this? - Are you nobles?
Nobles?
- They look the same. - He's so handsome.
He looks just like his dad.
Junghwan was handsome even as a boy.
- He's good-looking. - He is.
We just talked to Beomsu.
Do you think we could talk to Junghwan?
- He'll be in class. - What does he teach?
- Soccer class? - Yes.
On weekends... They're all so busy.
He won't pick up.
- If he's in class... - He picked up.
- Hello? - Hello?
- Hi, Hyewon. - Are you busy?
- No, we can talk. - Are you in class?
No, my next class is at 3:30 p.m.
- I'm on my lunch break. - You have to eat.
- Hello, Junghwan. - Hello.
- Hello. - His voice...
He was expecting the call.
- You haven't been on our show yet. - Right.
- Your first appearance is on the phone. - Yes.
Do you still call your wife by her name?
- Yes, I call her Hyewon. - Do you really?
It's rare once they become a mom.
Men tend to switch to "honey."
Kim Seongju was on a few weeks ago.
- He called you cheeky for doing the opposite. - Yes.
I'd like to know if you agree with that.
I don't think I'm cheeky.
I don't really want to talk about Seongju.
- You are cheeky. - He is.
He won't talk about what we suggested.
You do the exact opposite.
- Mr. Cheeky Junghwan. - Yes?
Your wife says she's an elder stateswoman Miss Korea.
Do you still think she's beautiful?
We all think she is but what do you think?
I think we just ended the dating phase.
Now we're moving into the newlywed phase.
What?
- He was waiting to say that. - That's so fake.
He read it somewhere.
- I wake in shock in the night. - Why?
Because I'm with someone so beautiful.
This is terrible.
Our writers are screaming in the background.
Junghwan, when is your wife most lovable?
When she steps out of the shower.
This is serious newlywed talk.
My poor kidneys are taking a beating today.
My kidneys are hurting.
- He's a romantic. - Was there ever a time
when you hated your wife?
I don't think so, not yet.
- Not even once? - Hyewon admitted something.
- That you fight. - Without using the honorific.
That didn't happen but this one time
I came home late after going on a drinking spree.
For breakfast she only served rice and kimchi.
That was a little upsetting.
Be glad she made you breakfast.
- Rice and kimchi only? - At least you got to eat.
Do wives make breakfast?
- Doesn't yours? - Do wives cook breakfast?
- Doesn't yours? - Wives cook.
Don't men fend for themselves?
- Are you sure? - Wives cook.
- You're all romantics. - They're not like us.
Aren't your wives too busy to cook?
- I'll ask you just one more thing. - Okay.
- You have to be very honest. - Okay.
Be honest.
Would you marry her in your next life? One, two, three.
Can you ask that again?
That was quick.
The second you hesitate, it's game over.
- He's a funny guy. - He's witty.
Would you like to say something to her?
She's vulnerable and tender-hearted
so don't be too mean to her.
- That was so painful. - It's so annoying.
I think my thyroid is reacting.
- Junghwan? - Yes?
- Do come on our show one day. - I will.
Hyewon, do you have anything to say to him?
You won't be coming home, will you?
I'll come back with some cash.
- See you tomorrow. - Thank you.
Amore mio, bye.
They get along so well because he rarely comes home.
When he was in training,
he only came home for two nights a week.
- Isn't that great? - I felt like a newlywed.
You spent a lot of your married life apart, then.
We forgot to ask Hyewon.
Junghwan won't get to hear her answer
but we'll ask Hyewon the same question.
If you were born again...
- She's cringing already. - Be honest.
Would you marry him in your next life? One, two, three.
No.
I would if I'm the man and he's the woman.
Not if I'm a woman and he's a man.
Why do you want to be the husband?
He gets drunk and comes home late,
then he stays out overnight to train.
I want to do the same to him.
What if he gave you only rice and kimchi for breakfast?
I'll train him, then.
You'll train him?
How about we ask Miryeo the same question?
- She's a newlywed. - So let's ask her.
- Her answer is obvious. - Jungsu zoned out.
I'll ask everyone, then.
Miryeo, would you marry your husband again?
- One, two, three. - Yes.
- She's a newlywed. - Why?
- I'm so grateful to him. - What for?
How can someone be so much in love with me
and so utterly adore me?
- Jeez... - All this sweetness...
- It's tough. - It's so hard on me.
- He's that good to you? - According to him
- I'm so good. - At what?
I'm sweet and good to him.
Come on. These three burst out laughing.
We need to take five.
- This is crazy. - What did they find so funny?
Yunjin, it's fine to just react.
It's okay to laugh.
Let's ask Yunjin, then.
Would you marry Beomsu again? One, two, three.
Yes.
Why?
He married pretty late in life.
- Very late. - He'd had enough fun.
And he'd had a successful career.
He got married when he craved having a family
so he's very gentle.
- Is he? - Yes. And he doesn't smoke or drink.
And he earns enough.
Hyewon was the first to answer and so far...
She sounded so confident and justified.
The other replies are making her look bad.
- We have to hear from these two. - We should.
- Jungsu. - You know what to say.
- She looked into the distance. - Jungsu.
One, two, three.
It's yes.
Sorry.
Hyewon's falling into an abyss.
I'm different, I married when I was very young.
I'm 42 and I've been married for 20 years.
- I married when I was 22. - So early.
I entered college when I was 21
and got married in January of my sophomore year.
My life changed dramatically.
I had been a tomboy who knew nothing about life.
I'm blood type A, so I'm really shy and timid.
I always tried to hide in someone's shadow.
I feared doing stuff in public and getting attention.
But marriage changed my personality.
I started to work
and once I knew what I could do and should do
the look in my eyes changed.
I wouldn't be here today if it hadn't been for him.
- That was huge. - He helped me so much.
- Where is he today? - Out playing baseball.
- It's driving me crazy. - What a great husband.
- He's so helpful. - "Please, it's Saturday."
Your youngest child.
- Isn't she here? - Where is she?
They're both here? Oh, I see.
They're beautiful.
Can we ask them to join us?
- Wow, they're... - They have such long legs.
Chaewon is so mature.
We're 24 years apart, born in the year of the tiger.
You're both tigers?
- You're always arguing. - We can't help it.
We think differently and can't understand each other.
- Jeongwon, your younger daughter. - You're so cute.
Jeongwon, say hello into your microphone.
Hello.
- What's your name? - Yu Jeongwon.
- I'm ten. - Ten.
Remember your manners.
- Does your sister bug you? - Yes.
How does she bug you?
- How? - Does she tease you?
- How does she bug you? - She just does.
- She just does. - She does how?
Why did you cry this morning?
- She pulled my hair. - Did she?
- Why did you pull her hair? - Because she's cute.
- She hit me. - Because she hit you?
You're so much bigger and you take it out on her?
Don't they fight even though they're years apart?
People say it must be nice that one is so much older.
They think the 18-year-old will look after her sister.
She's more childish.
What's weird is that when mom is around
Jeongwon acts like a baby and teases me.
- But we get along great when mom's away. - Really?
It's fine when mom's not around.
That's because she knows the dynamics.
Do you want me to disappear, then?
- Don't say that. - Jungsu, that wasn't her point.
That's not what she meant.
- Things were fine when you were abroad. - Calm down.
Old people get angry easily.
I'm over 40 and menopausal.
Jeongwon recently announced her mom's menopausal.
- Does she flare up easily? - Very easily.
- But I know she doesn't mean to. - Right.
So it doesn't make me angry.
The family has to understand what she's going through.
- Misun. - She can't stop herself. See?
I'm not menopausal, I'm only 42.
- It's beginning. - You're menopausal.
- Accept it. - I don't know if it's menopause
but you definitely have mood swings.
- I don't. - You clench your fists.
What is your mom like?
She nags a lot and gets angry easily.
She yells and complains, "Why are you so fat?"
But then she goes, "Here, eat this."
Cold on the outside, kind on the inside.
- She sounds mean. - We get it.
- You know how she feels. - It's guilt.
She's a working mom and is rarely at home at times.
Did you ever hate that?
When I was young, I told myself
- I'd never become a celebrity. - Never what?
Be a celebrity.
I don't get to see her when she comes home late.
I told myself I wouldn't be that kind of mom.
- But now I like it. - Why?
Strangers I just met say they're envious.
- I like it now. - That's nice.
- I see. - We did another show together.
I really couldn't understand her at the time.
But being on a TV show together
and hearing what other kids and moms had to say
made me realize what puberty is.
Their kids will soon hit puberty.
Now I understand how she feels.
We're much closer now
and we feel more comfortable around each other.
We wear the same clothes.
We wear different size pants but we swap tops.
If something's missing in my closet, it's in her room.
Thank you for joining us today.
How about some applause?
Chaewon, go to your friend's house.
Let's see Jiyeong's family portrait.
I can't wait to see Gyeongmok.
He'll be all grown up.
Was this when he was younger?
- His first birthday. - Isn't it?
He looks so smart.
I see the resemblance.
- They look alike. - They do.
- They're the same person. - When we go out
the elderly say, "I know who your father is."
It's scary.
- Look. - He is his dad.
He looks more like his dad than you.
- But he has his mom's eyes. - He does.
Why doesn't he watch your dramas?
When he saw his dad fight and ride horses
in historical dramas, he said, "I could do that, too."
But then one day
he was watching my last drama "Everybody, Kimchi!"
My character was bullied a lot and always crying.
In one episode I was wailing out of frustration
and he ended up bursting into tears.
- He got so emotional. - To see his mom cry.
Ever since then, whenever I come on...
He was watching the army show I was on
and the minute I came on he rolled away on his scooter.
I'd never thought about this before.
- I'd had no problems picking projects. - Right.
But now my son goes to school
and some children know about him and me.
They know what I do for a living.
They might find out what roles we play on TV
and tease my son because of it.
Now when I'm offered an evil role,
- I think about it harder. - If you should do it?
"Does this mean I can't be in the public eye?"
"Should I be in plays or independent movies?"
A small-budget movie, just to get it out of my system.
- It's a working mom's concern. - It's stressful.
I just realized that could be an issue, too.
- We have kids to consider. - We do.
Hyewon, your son Rihwan was on TV.
Were you against it at first?
I was more concerned,
- as a mom. - What was your concern?
He starts school soon and
it could be hard if everyone knows who he is.
- People will see his personality. - That's true.
- He cried a lot in the first few episodes. - He did.
Rihwan isn't usually a crybaby.
I'm sure you know by now that he's very cheeky.
He's cheeky and very lively,
but that show played up the parts where he cried.
- The next day at preschool he got teased. - I see.
For being a crybaby?
So I ended up complaining to the writer.
"He's struggling at preschool because of the crying."
"Could you cut out some of those scenes?"
But he did cry more than usual at first.
- He did. - It's only natural.
He was in an unfamiliar environment with strangers.
- Of course... - Then his dad's temper flared.
He got used to it after a while, though.
- He settled in. - I see how moms feel.
He was abroad for lengthy periods.
He was overseas for a long time after you got married.
I know you missed him but when was it the worst?
- My husband? - Yes.
Do I miss him?
- When? - Long ago.
- When you were apart. - Back then.
You're bound to feel lonely and miss him.
- When did you miss him the most? - On birthdays.
- When I was alone. - Your birthdays?
Yes, alone on my birthdays.
I married him because I loved him
but it was depressing when I had to be alone so long.
Yes, it's upsetting.
Didn't he do anything special for you?
Way before or way after my birthday.
Because he wasn't around on the exact date.
He had a set schedule.
We asked you a similar question earlier but...
- She's surprised. - Her eyes widened suddenly.
Didn't you have any concerns before you got married?
- Things might seem fine... - The age difference.
- He's older and a celebrity. - That's true.
- My parents wanted an average son-in-law. - Right.
But you can't really say what "average" is.
He has to be average but he can't be too poor.
- That's very true. - He has to earn enough.
- It depends but... - That's a valid point.
You're right.
- He can't stand out or be a nobody. - True.
They say they want someone average for you
- but then they get picky. - It was tough.
When I first told them I planned to marry him,
they were abroad and pretty shocked.
My mom flew in and we talked
and she said she wanted to meet Beomsu.
Couples usually meet at a quiet Japanese restaurant.
We were eating dinner.
My mom is usually quite funny and talkative
but she was so quiet.
She just sat there and ate her sushi in silence.
I was feeling antsy, thinking that she didn't like him
so when Beomsu excused himself to use the restroom,
I asked her, "What do you think? Do you not like him?"
"He's much more handsome in real life."
I think her heart fluttered.
- Maybe she liked him. - She had butterflies.
To meet an actor.
I thought if she was able to joke about him
then she must have liked him.
- He studied art up until high school. - He did.
My mom was an art major, too.
They have similar tastes.
- So you married your pupil. - Yes.
- Then... - He likes this tangent.
- Go on. - Did your love obstruct his studies?
- So... - Did you show up to teach him...
- But not study. - Did you do anything else?
Maybe they went from studying English to...
- Did that happen? - We were professional.
- I can't ask questions because I'm curious. - Okay.
- Did you wear sleeveless tops or short skirts? - No.
Are you scripting a drama?
She has a point.
He took time off studying to be in a drama.
I took that to mean he wasn't pleased with my classes
and thought he wouldn't call.
He said, "I'll call you when the drama's over."
I watched that drama.
About a week after it ended, I got a call from him.
"I can resume lessons next week."
So I went back to teaching him.
I was writing a book at the time
and I hate making mistakes or missing deadlines.
I can't miss a deadline when they're paying me.
I fell asleep working on the book and slept in.
- I was late for Beomsu's morning class. - Oh no.
Beomsu's strict when it comes to being on time...
You're both strict.
- What happened? - You're perfect for each other.
I apologized and explained that
I was late because I had to hand over a manuscript.
"You're so diligent,"
"going to the publisher so early in the morning."
I said, "No, I just had to send an e-mail."
"Go to the publisher." That's what I like to hear.
- He's old-fashioned. I love it. - Old-fashioned.
Of course that's what he'd think.
A huge stack of papers typed with a typewriter.
- Or written with a fountain pen. - Yes.
- On manuscript paper. - Or typed out.
You know his serious tone.
"Can you send a book via e-mail?" He was fascinated.
That's when I thought he was refreshing.
She considered that to be refreshing.
- That's possible. - It's the way he treats people.
I'd have felt afraid if he were too professional.
- He was naive. - Yes, he was.
So we resumed our lessons.
We started talking about other topics.
Men hitting on a woman ask what she likes
or what her ideal man is like, things like that.
He asked, "What is your dream?"
I can totally picture how he said that.
- I can see his dark eyebrows. - What then?
I gave him a sincere answer and told him what it was.
When I said I was writing a book,
he had a fountain pen engraved with my initials.
- He liked you. - He gave me a present.
- He's a player. - From the M company?
- With my initials. - I never had one of those.
- Then it's game over. - With a gem in it.
- A cubic zirconia. - You had to marry him.
- She's showing off. - You accepted his proposal.
I said, "Thanks for the pen."
"I want you to write your books with that."
You said you e-mailed the script. A pen is useless.
He's so classically old-fashioned.
I love it. I love Beomsu.
You started off as teacher and pupil.
You could've refused it if you didn't like him.
- He was so sincere. - A fountain pen is fine.
He considered me a hard-working
- little sister. - You didn't consider him a date?
- Yes. I couldn't get ahead of myself. - True.
This is so interesting.
He first asked me out on a date by saying he wanted to
show me where he dreamed of his future as a young man.
- Chungang University. - He talked about his past.
- He likes to talk about dreams and hope. - Passion.
He told me to work hard and appreciate life
so I thought he considered me a sweet little sister.
Then he told me to stand outside a cafe
because a car would come and pick me up.
He came by in this really loud red sports car.
He peered out at me and told me to get in.
We stopped at this rest stop along the way.
He got out and told me to wait in the car.
- He came back with popcorn. - Snacks.
Popcorn in a sports car.
He likes snacks coated in honey.
- He must like sweet foods. - Grain syrup yugwa.
He likes sweet snacks. He has a sweet tooth.
He loves americano.
He bought two americanos but they were really hot.
There were no cup holders.
- He bought that on purpose. - "Drink this."
We drove on and I had to hold two cups of coffee.
We talked more about the younger Beomsu.
- Then the sun began to set. - This is it.
He'd prepared another gift.
- He planned ahead. - He liked you, then.
He'd gotten me a limited edition key chain.
- With a gem? - On to that
- he'd hung a fancy figure. - That's witty.
He'd combined classy with amusement.
"This is yours and this is mine," and they matched.
I thought I had to draw the line.
"What does this mean?"
"Do you want to date me, is that it?"
He was wearing a cap that day
- and he flipped it on and off. - He was nervous.
"Just think about it."
"Would I give this to you if I wasn't interested?"
- He was shy. - I can imagine him saying that.
- It's hard to confess. - "Would I give this to you?"
- He was shy. - He's a very shy guy.
People think he's outgoing
- but he's an introvert. - Is he?
I'm enjoying the story but when did you first kiss?
- We took our time. - But you did kiss.
- I think we followed the rules. - The rules?
Yunjin's always... She always
looks around and checks the mood before speaking.
What's the rule?
- Was he in a suit? - Where was this?
We thought it had to be a good few months later.
- When you trusted each other. - We built that first.
- Was it outside your home? - That's the rule.
I don't remember. It was six, seven years ago.
It's over seven years ago.
- Beomsu said he was worried... - You're hilarious.
- You speak quietly but with presence. - In detail.
Miryeo, you weren't married for that long
but who made the first move?
- My husband did. - Where did you meet?
We were in the same agency but didn't know each other.
- I didn't know he existed. - At all.
I attended Jung Sunhee's radio program's team picnic.
Sunhee is good friends with actor Lee Jaehwang
and Jaehwang is good friends with my husband.
These two guys were traveling all over Korea
and Sunhee called them and told them to drop by.
So they dropped by and that's when we met.
But even at the time I had no feelings for him.
A while after that we met by chance in Hongdae.
He said, "Let's have a drink with Jaehwang next time."
I thought he was just being polite
so I said, "Sure, give me a call. Bye."
But he actually called me.
Celebrities ignore calls from numbers they don't know.
"Celebrities"...
But sometimes you feel drawn to an unknown number.
- You do. - It was destiny.
I went, "Should I answer this or not?"
I picked up and I heard him say, "It's me, Seongyun."
"Oh, hi."
He invited me over so I joined them for a drink.
A few days later he called to say
"I'm at a restaurant and you left an autograph."
I like to check out famous restaurants.
There's a Miryeo Alley in Hongdae.
He said, "It made me think of you. Where are you?"
He invited me over and I joined him.
He just kept calling me out for drinks.
- Just you two? - No, with his friends.
What made you wonder if he wanted to date you?
It snowed for the first time that year and I was tipsy.
As we were leaving the bar, I looked up and said
"Wow, it's snowing."
He suddenly grabbed my hand.
It actually felt like time stopped.
- Oh dear. - But then the next day...
You can't hear anyone even if they're screaming at you.
I thought this was it.
There's this zing when you hold hands the first time.
- That was funny. - It was sweet.
- I'd like to hear her story. - Hyewon, you...
Did Junghwan set you up with someone else?
- Did you already know Junghwan? - No.
I was modeling for a certain brand
and my husband was on the team
so we met at the photo shoot.
I'd heard rumors that
- he was good-looking. - Did you like that?
No.
- I'd heard he was a womanizer. - That's possible.
- He was just so handsome. - I didn't care for him.
He was an hour late, too.
So me and the staff got together and said
we shouldn't talk to him to teach him a lesson.
But as soon as he arrived, the stylists and makeup girls
flocked over to ask for autographs and eat with him.
I was left alone in a corner.
After the photo shoot, we all went out for dinner.
I ignored him and was afraid of his reputation
so I left to go to the restroom and he followed me.
I don't know if he went to the restroom, too
- but we crossed paths and he asked me. - What?
"Do you like soccer players?"
I can't say no if a soccer player asks that, can I?
It's rude to say no to his face.
- You can't say, "I hate them." - Exactly.
I didn't even know there were 11 on a team.
But when I said yes, he asked who I liked.
I said I liked Lee Dongguk and Ko Jongsu.
And he said, "They're my friends. We should meet up."
The shoot was in Busan.
He asked me if I was returning to Seoul that day.
I said yes, he said he was, and that we should meet up.
He then called me when he reached Seoul.
That was about four hours later.
- He hurried. - He liked you.
He brought them all over to introduce them to me.
- His colleagues? - His colleagues?
- That's how we met. - That's not a blind date.
- He was interested. - He wanted to see you.
But I went out so he could introduce them to me.
- That was an excuse. - He used them.
I did become friends with one of them that day.
- He took my glasses. - What for?
- Because they were pretty. - Some guy took them?
One of the people there.
So I told Junghwan. This was when I was in college.
I said, "I might have to see him to get those back."
He said, "I'll buy you a pair. Don't see him."
- I knew it. - It was his idea.
- He set it up. - "Take her glasses."
- "So I can buy her a pair." - Exactly.
Didn't he say, "Let me be your eyes?"
"I'll be your eyes."
He was gruff and unfriendly at first.
He didn't say much or express himself.
- He said "hey" to get my attention. - Beomsu...
He called me Yunjeong for three, four months.
When your name is Yunjin?
He didn't know your name?
- Seriously? - That's hilarious.
- He didn't know your name? - He was so charismatic.
He's not good with names.
I was so intimidated I thought, "My name's Yunjin..."
- I couldn't complain. - How did you correct him?
- Actually... - At the wedding?
- No... - The wedding invitation.
- Through the wedding invitation? - "I'm Yunjin."
You suffered for three months?
- You're good for each other. - What funny stories.
- It's so funny. - All these stories...
We're here with five famous working moms.
It's time to see how they spend their days.
- I'm curious. - Let's see Jungsu's day.
Let's watch.
Hello, I'm Pyeon Jungsu.
You're here early.
Look at my face.
I have to get Jeongwon and Chaewon ready for school.
I need to cook breakfast first.
You have so many pretty plates.
What a lovely house.
- It's a detached house. - Do you cook?
Yes. My only condition when I bought the house was
I wanted a kitchen with a view.
I didn't want to face a wall.
That looks delicious.
- Is that breakfast? - Yes.
- That's a lot of food. - My sweetie.
Chaewon already left for school.
- This was 7 a.m. - Was it?
Chaewon leaves at 6 a.m.
- She leaves at 6? - Gets up at 6, leaves at 7.
- She leaves early. - It's bad?
I slaved away to cook and she didn't like it.
I sprinkle curry powder to get rid of the fishy smell.
It's tasty.
What about this?
- It's weird. - Don't you like that one-piece?
- This one. - This jacket?
Okay.
What about your hair?
Two pigtails tied up with these.
Do you like this look?
Then change.
Are you embarrassed?
I went to this cafe once
and they'd set out the pastries in a shelf like this.
I wanted to do that when I moved in.
My sister loves this. She likes to mix colors.
Chaewon doesn't like it. She says it looks messy.
It has too many colors.
This is Jeongwon's room.
Jeongwon's room.
This area looks like a greenhouse.
I can see our garden and our house.
- It's time to work. - To transform.
Do I look very different?
Thank you.
12 is perfect but if something's missing I can fill in.
This is all the models can wear.
I'll give them the bags.
Thank you.
What did you think?
You joined me for a busy day.
This wasn't footage from multiple days.
I got up at 7 this morning
and sent Chaewon and Jeongwon to school.
I attended three events and am wrapping up now.
Wasn't that a packed day?
My voice is going hoarse.
Let's stay happy.
You don't just lounge around at home, do you?
- I have to study. - Study what?
There's this commercial that requires a license.
I need to study to pass that test.
- Insurance commercials. - Yes, that.
The test is coming up.
- She has it. - How did you pass?
- I have that license. - How? I failed three times.
- It's tough. - I had no idea.
I studied so hard.
My day starts with sending the girls to school.
- They need you after school. - On some days
they have private lessons and some days they don't.
I plan my days so that I'm at work when they're away.
- But it's easier now. - This is nothing.
- I respect you all. - Preschool is the best fun.
I play and go places with kids and other moms.
It's fun picking berries and gathering chestnuts.
It gets harder when you have to help with schoolwork.
I'm curious.
You're a celebrity but also a mom of school children.
How do you manage meetings where
- you have to go to the school? - It's different.
- How different? - Their kids just started at school.
You have to stoop low and give in at all times.
My daughter is no longer called Jungsu's daughter.
I become known as so-and-so's mom.
I was young and clueless when Chaewon was young.
This happened.
The classrooms in Chaewon's year got new TVs.
The first graders even got new desks and chairs
which were originally meant for the second graders.
They planted grass and trees. There was a frenzy.
I guess there were rumors that
my child would be going to the school.
People named me and said, "The school looks lovely."
- They mocked me. - You had nothing to do with it.
I was young and offended so I denied any involvement.
Now I'd be able to say, "It's lovely. We're so lucky."
"But it wasn't my idea."
But back then I vehemently denied it was me.
Later on we found out that a boy in Chaewon's year
had a grandfather who had a lot of money and influence.
He'd done all that for his grandson.
That boy's mom said, "My father-in-law paid for it."
I wailed and said, "See, I told you it wasn't me."
I realized how hard it must be
to be a famous person's child.
And how hard it would be to be that child's mom.
I went to her school less.
- Dads are different. - They are.
- It's different for working moms. - It is.
- Let's see Yunjin's video. - Come on.
- She's so cute. - She looks like her dad.
- She's cute. - She looks like her mom.
She's a mix of them both.
She's so adorable.
She's smiling in her sleep for you?
Soeul and Daeul?
- I see her dad now. - That's her cheeky dad.
- Are you up, Daeul? - He's so sweet.
I see his dad's face in his.
Tada.
This is my favorite cafe
where I do my translation work.
This is really thick.
I can't do much in one day
because I work when the kids are asleep or busy.
When I can, I work at a cafe.
This is how I do the basic rough translation.
- I just go line by line. - I envy that.
- Working in a cafe. - Translating books.
- We can't do that. - Aren't you envious?
I'm so envious.
- I get paid less than 5 dollars per page. - Do you?
- It looks fancy. - It's so cool.
- Hello? - Working in a nice cafe like that.
- Working in a cafe... - That's how you work.
We try to avoid anything that's in English.
- They're like pictures to us. - They are.
Now I will get back to work.
Bye, have a nice day.
Soeul, bye. See you tomorrow.
Bye.
- Did you have fun? - Yes.
- Did you not cry? - Yes.
- Dried sweet potato. - It's snack time.
Children have to eat.
- Sweet potato. - You have so many books.
They're all Beomsu's.
- Does he actually read? - Yes.
Do they sell that?
- Can I have some? - Really?
- I bet they speak English. - That's cute.
- I should have another. - Two is better than one.
- The more the better. - No more. You'll get sick.
Girls look out for their moms.
Soeul, do you want mommy
to stay at home all day every day?
Or do you want mommy to be an interpreter
and a translator mommy?
- You like to work. - Really?
- Really? - She's all grown up.
She sometimes comes with me to work.
It's really nice when a kid says that.
That was lovely.
Thank you.
How much do you translate a day?
Three pages a day. 15 dollars worth.
- Is there a reason? - If I don't touch it at all...
then I might not be able to meet the deadline.
- I do three pages a day. - That's your deadline.
Could Jaeseok or I learn to be a translator?
Yes, you could try.
How old would we be if we finally translate a book?
It would be published posthumously.
- Posthumously? - How could you say that?
- It would take you years. - Are we that useless?
I heard that Yunjin and Jaeseok
- met once before. - Who and whom?
- Me? - On a date?
- You met him once. - When?
I'd forgotten about it.
- It came to mind recently. - When did we meet?
- I studied at Korea University. - Right.
- You were on "Kung Kung Ta." - We went there.
You came to my university.
Let's go and find a Miss Korea University.
Ever since then people came to my class office
and looked for Miss Korea University.
I became a university model so I owe you a lot.
This is just fascinating.
We have a video of Miryeo, too.
- Let's watch it. - Let's.
- We'll get to see the baby. - She's adorable.
I want to see her husband.
- Hello. - Gosh, he's so handsome.
- He looks like Ha Jungwoo. - Wasn't he in an ad?
- He looks like Ha Jungwoo. - He's handsome.
This little girl with her million-dollar eyes
is our daughter Jeong Moa.
Hi, I'm Miryeo's husband and Moa's dad
who is also an actor. I'm Jeong Seongyun.
It's nice to meet you.
There's nothing much to see.
We'll show you what an average day is like.
Come with us.
Moa. Good morning.
- That's a baby? - Her eyes are huge.
She has amazing eyes.
She looks like a diaper model.
What's that in the back?
- Our dogs. - You have pets.
She has no problem with close-ups.
- Moa has beautiful skin. - She likes that.
- Mommy has nice pores. - Didn't I buy her that?
- Yes. - Jump, jump, jump...
Sit. Nana, sit.
- You have two dogs? - Two.
- They're cute. - Aren't they?
- I feel sorry for them. - I love her eyes.
- Brush your gums. - She's just adorable.
- What are you doing? - I'm brushing her gums.
It must be fun to raise such a pretty kid.
- All kids are pretty. - What are you implying?
Am I wrong? It's better if your kid is pretty.
- Look. - It helps.
- Look at that. - Is she playing with her foot?
She's in love with her foot.
Did she just say "appa" for dad?
- "Appa." - She can say "dad."
She says "umma" for mom but not on the tape.
- Is she watching you work? - It's all me.
- That's mommy. - She knows.
Moa, there's mommy.
She recognizes you.
I think she knows.
She's so sweet.
I want to be a working mom that everyone envies.
Goodbye.
That's the man who kept calling you.
That was adorable.
- Thanks. - You did well.
- Thank you. - She's beautiful.
- They should have more kids. - You did well.
It's great to see you're happily married.
I miss her.
- Your husband is so handsome. - He is.
- He's so good-looking. - For your children's sake
it helps to have a handsome husband.
Don't say that.
Thanks for joining us for the Working Mom Special.
- It's time to say goodbye. - Okay.
Dear all you working moms...
I think you should close.
Thanks for joining us today.
We'll see you again next week.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
