- National Competition on Worries! - National Competition on Worries!
Let me introduce you to our guests for today.
Actor Oh Ji Ho!
(Oh Ji Ho, the unchangingly handsome actor)
She came on Hello last week too.
She's been showing her charms in many ways. Actress Seor In A!
(Seor In A, the versatile actress)
Entertainer Park Sul Gi!
Hello. It's nice to meet you.
Hello.
Actor Do Ji Han!
Hello.
Welcome.
(Welcome!)
It's been a very long time since the last time Ji Ho came on Hello.
I think it was the 2nd episode 7 years ago.
- It was the 1st episode. - Was it?
- It was our 1st episode. - He appeared in the 1st episode.
- Back then, Yeong Ja wasn't here. - That's right.
- Oh, that's right. - That's why Ji Ho came here.
(That's why he decided to come here.)
We haven't seen them together since the incident.
- We only saw them in the video. - Exactly.
We asked you to come here many times.
Is it true that you didn't come because of me?
That's not true at all. I decided to come here because I missed Yeong Ja.
- Are you serious? - Is that so?
Then, how about you two reenact the video here?
(The legendary video was brought back to our memories.)
- Today, - Right here.
I prepared a proper outfit.
- Look at this. - Look at her pants.
(Perfect pants to prevent the inappropriate situation)
- Sit down. - Why is she wearing those pants?
(She created another legendary video.)
I heard you will perform in a play.
That's right, but that's not why I'm here.
- Of course not. - All right.
- I'm here to see Yeong Ja. - I know.
- It's "The Apartment". - "The Apartment".
We made the movie "The Apartment" released 20 years ago...
- into a play. - I see.
- Show us a little. - Show us.
(Excited)
My character's name is Max.
- The female lead role is Lisa. - Lisa.
- Lisa? - There's a scene where I cry...
because the woman left me.
- Does Lisa leave you? - Yes.
- Lisa is gone. - She left me.
(He immersed himself in the emotion instantly.)
(Lisa!)
This is how I cry.
(It's over.)
- That's a great line. - That really is a great line.
- How do you do that so easily? - I was surprised.
I think anyone can do that.
- Lisa! - Lisa!
Lisa!
(Isn't it heart-wrenching?)
I envy Sul Gi the most.
- Me too. - Right.
- You managed to get married. - I made it.
(She just got married.)
Hello.
(Congratulations.)
Don't you have any worries regarding your husband?
I started to worry because of my husband.
We need to be clean when we go to bed, right?
- That's right. - We have something to do.
- But... - My goodness.
- My husband worked late. - He must've been tired.
- He was tired. - He was very tired,
so he went to bed without washing himself many times.
- He didn't wash up. - Yes.
Isn't it odd that he came home being tired...
when you two just got married?
That means he didn't want to come home.
- What's wrong with you? - Why would you say that?
- That's a conspiracy. - Why would you pick on her?
I'm sorry.
Ji Han plays in the daily drama, "Lovers in Bloom".
He plays a romantic, straightforward man.
He has a lot of acting experience.
- He's been an actor for 10 years. - Isn't he a newcomer actor?
- 10 years? - Little Jang Dong Gun.
Right. He played Jang Dong Gun's childhood.
When I filmed the movie with Dong Gun...
Compared to him, I look more like an Indian or Arabian.
- Ji Ho looks more like an Arabian. - Exactly.
- There's no comparison. - Get acquainted with him.
(The unique Arabian prince)
In A came here last week, and she came back.
- Yes. - The viewers can see her again.
- That's right. - Last time,
- she got really emotional. - Indeed.
It felt like I was sitting with the entire family...
talking about each other's worries,
- and give advice to each other. - I see.
Today, we have three worries as usual.
Show us the keywords please.
"It's Hard to Eat".
- "My Shopaholic Grandma". - "A Woman Who Can't..."
- "Register Her Marriage". Gosh. - Oh, my.
- That sounds serious. - That's intense.
"It's Hard to Eat".
She sent us her story because it's really hard to eat.
However, she's too young...
to have a difficulty finding food to eat.
- How old is she? - Right.
Hello. It's so hard for me to eat.
I'm Lee Yoo Jeong. I'm 15 years old.
- What's the matter? - Why is that at her age?
When I say at home...
"Mom, I'm hungry. Give me something to eat."
"You don't deserve to eat."
"If you really want to eat,"
"Run 3 laps around the track, and jump rope 2,000 times."
- Oh, my. - 2,000 times.
- "Also, 10 sets of squats." - 10 sets squats?
"Until you finish that, I won't give you food."
My mom never lets me eat anything unless I exercise.
When she doesn't exercise.
- Her mom nags her to exercise. - Regardless of the weather,
I have to run every single day without a break.
One day... "Oh, no. What should I do?"
"Mom, I think I twisted my ankle. I can't walk right now."
- She should get some rest. What? - "Why all of a sudden?"
- "All of a sudden"? - "Gosh. Seriously."
- "All of a sudden"? - You can't predict...
- when you'll twist your ankle. - Exactly.
It always happens unexpectedly.
- It's not like she wanted that. - "I think I'll twist my ankle."
- You can't predict it. - It's not that she planned it.
"Are you saying that you can't exercise today?"
"Of course. I'm in pain."
"All right. Don't exercise today."
"Instead, you don't get to eat dinner today."
- She's cold-hearted. - I ended up...
- running while limping. - My goodness.
When I finally start eating...
after all those exercises, my mom says,
"You're not even a person. You're like a pig."
"When are you going to lose weight?"
She says all kinds of harsh things to me.
- Is she even her birth daughter? - Oh, my.
Even when I'm studying, she says,
"You gain weight because you always sit down like that."
- While she's studying? - "If you have time to study,"
"calculate the calories you ate, and burn it."
- Oh, my. - Really?
She doesn't even want her daughter to study?
I wish I could eat three meals a day freely.
- Could she be an athlete? - Please stop my mom.
That's all.
(Please stop my mom.)
Could it be because she has gained a lot of weight?
In A, do you worry about losing weight?
- You're a young girl. - I can relate to this story...
because I became a trainee when I was 15.
My mom started to force me to lose weight back then.
I think I know how she must feel.
To me, it's so sad...
because girls at the age of 15 need to eat well...
- so they can grow taller. - That's right.
The growth plate is still open.
My height is only 150cm,
so I'd like to tell her mother that she needs to eat to grow taller.
- 2,000 jump ropes and squats. - 10 sets of squats.
- That's no joke. - Only if she weighs 80kg or 90kg,
- I'd be able to understand her mom. - That's right.
- We'll know when we see her... - Right.
- if she really should lose weight. - Let's meet with...
this 15-year-old girl. Please come out!
(Who is worried because her mom stops her from eating?)
(She's not fat at all!)
(Lee Yoo Jeong)
- Unbelievable. - Oh, my.
- She's not fat, right? - He's such a gentleman.
- She's not fat, is she? - No.
- He's so cool. - Take off your shoes and come.
- Take off your shoes. - She's so cute.
- Exactly. - She's so cute.
- Audience members, - She's cute.
when she asked, "She's not fat, is she?"
you should've answered with confidence.
You sounded unsure.
(Why couldn't they say that?)
- Who did that? - Do you think she's fat?
- No! - No!
- That's right. - She's not very slim,
but she's not so fat either.
Your eyes are so cute too.
- She's so cute. - Are they fully open?
- She looks like a doll. - How adorable.
- She looks like a doll. - She's so cute.
Please introduce yourself.
Hello. It's hard for me to eat.
I'm Lee Yoo Jeong. I'm in eighth grade.
She's cute.
(Welcome to Hello.)
- But... - She's adorable.
You exaggerated your story a little, right?
- Does she really not let you eat... - Right.
- unless you exercise? - Right.
She really doesn't give me food.
No matter how hungry I am,
she doesn't let me eat unless I exercise until I sweat a lot.
Why does your mom do that to you?
My mom always says that a woman's weight must be under 50kg.
- Under 50kg? - She says a woman must be...
- always pretty and skinny. - How?
What about Yeong Ja?
- Is she not even a woman? - I'm third gender. I think I am.
- They're wearing similar clothes. - Exactly.
- They're wearing similar colors. - Right.
You wrote it in your letter.
How much do you have to exercise to get to eat?
I exercise on an empty stomach every morning.
Even when I go to school...
Since I have to run for 1 or 2 hours before I go to school,
I was late for school several times.
In the evening, I do between 2,000 and 3,000 reps of jump rope.
- My mom made me do it. - That's amazing.
- She works out like a boxer. - 10 sets of 10 reps of squat.
- 10 sets of 15 reps? - 30 minutes of abs workout.
Besides, my mom goes out with me when I exercise...
so she can keep me in check.
Does she watch you work out?
We run together. If I don't keep up with her, she yells at me.
Considering the exercise, you didn't lose much weight.
She exercises for two hours on an empty stomach.
- Seriously. - Don't say that.
I wonder when your mother started to make you exercise.
Ever since I was in second grade.
- Since you were in second grade? - Unbelievable.
Since I was in second grade,
I jumped rope 2,000 times after eating,
and went for a walk.
However, I think she got worse since I was in seventh grade.
- She became obsessed. - I see.
I bet your mom prepares a nice meal for you after exercising.
My mom prepares meals for me, but she gives me...
- only three spoonfuls of rice, - She gives you that little?
- soup, and three pieces of ham. - That's too little.
- What's that? - That can't be enough.
However, the size of her spoon could be different from ours.
- There can be misunderstanding. - Right.
- So we asked her to send photos. - That's great.
- What's that? - That's too little.
(This is the amount of food she eats every meal.)
- That's too little. - Look at the rice.
The photo on the left is my breakfast.
- 3 pieces of dried laver. - Only 3 pieces?
- 3 pieces of dried laver? - Yes, and as for the rice,
- it's not even half bowl. - That's too little for rice.
There's only little rice on the bottom.
- It's been cut in half. - What about the photo on the right?
That's what my mom gives me when I exercise too little.
- She never lets you eat carbs. - However...
Did you eat before coming here?
No, I couldn't eat anything because I didn't exercise.
Does she really not give you food when you don't exercise?
- No, she doesn't. - Did you not eat at all today?
- No. - Is your stomach empty now?
- Yes. - Are you hungry?
- I'm hungry. - Oh, no.
We should give her food instead of recording the show.
- She's only 15 years old. - I want to give her some food.
However, looking at those photos, I realized...
- that it's a healthy diet. - That's right.
She eats moderately, and there are vegetables and fruits.
You can lose weight and stay healthy.
Aren't there positive aspects too?
The problem is that she goes overboard.
She makes me exercise even when it rains or snows.
One day, it was raining and thundering.
I went out in a rain coat, and ran...
- You might get struck by lightning. - at midnight.
- At midnight? - After my classes at the institute.
I ran in a rain coat while it was thundering.
That's not all. I once broke my toe.
- All of a sudden? - I was...
I broke my toe while I was playing with my friend.
I wore a cast for about three weeks.
The first thing my mom said to me when she saw me injured was...
"Why did you get hurt? You can't exercise now."
She scolded me for getting hurt.
You must've been really sad.
- Well, yes. - I was surprised when I heard...
that your mom doesn't just make you exercise,
but she exercises with you. Am I right?
Yes. Since my mom is a workout trainer...
Your mom is a workout trainer?
My mom even has six-pack abs.
- Does she? - Yes.
- Your mom... - Her mom has six-pack abs.
So, there's a reason why her mom likes to exercise.
Nevertheless, I think it's over the top.
Let's meet with her mother. Hello.
- Hello. - Welcome.
Ma'am, could you stand up for us?
- She's a workout trainer. - Look at her.
- Could you turn around for us? - Turn around please.
- My goodness. - She has no belly fat.
- She has a flat belly. - Her body looks fit.
If she was wearing pants and a shirt,
I would have asked her to show us her abs a little.
- But I can't do that. - She's wearing a dress.
(Never mind.)
She could've shown a little.
- You can touch my belly. - Pardon me?
- You can touch it. - In A, why don't you touch it?
- Can I touch her belly? - Yes.
- Exactly. - She has six-pack abs.
- Isn't it hard for women? - My mom was able to make abs.
Oh, my.
- Her abs are like a cheese grater. - A cheese grater?
She screamed in surprise.
I can imagine grating cheese on her abs.
You work out hard as you like doing it and are good at it.
Also, it's your job. I can understand why you work out.
Do you really not give your daughter food when she doesn't exercise?
No, I don't. It's true.
Is it really necessary? She's not an athlete.
She gained over 10kg after she entered middle school.
When I checked her body mass index,
- it said she had excessive fat. - She had excessive body fat.
Yes, the result said that she had excessive body fat.
It seems like she's becoming fat instead of growing taller.
So I think I have no choice but to help her lose weight.
We heard that you make her exercise too much.
Yoo Jeong doesn't move at all when she's home.
She plays with her smart phone in a lying position all the time.
When I let her go out alone to work out,
she works out half-heartedly, so I work out with her.
I've been working out for almost 20 years too.
- That's amazing. - However,
- it's best to exercise regularly. - That's right.
If you exercise for only 2 or 3 hours every day...
- That's too much. - 2 or 3 hours?
- I bet 1 hour is too much for her. - 2 or 3 hours?
- 1 hour is long enough for her. - That's nonsense.
- 2 or 3 hours. - He sounded like he understood her,
so I thought he'd say 30 minutes, but he said 2 or 3 hours.
She makes Yoo Jeong exercise too much.
2 or 3 hours of exercise is doable, right?
I see.
- Even 1 or 2 hours are too much. - However,
she has to study too.
It's not that I make her exercise for 2 or 3 hours every day.
Only when she eats too much...
You said you don't give her food. How can she eat too much?
Sometimes, she eats with her dad without letting me know...
while I'm at work.
- Right. You did something wrong. - She ate a lot.
Your dad helped you out.
- She pretended she didn't eat much. - You have your dad.
- She'd have abs if it was true. - Exactly.
Do you really want her to keep her weight less than 50kg?
No. It's not that I set up a goal for her.
Yoo Jeong is stressed out a lot because of her clothes.
If she can't fit into her clothes that she hasn't worn for a year,
that means she gained weight.
She's supposed to lose weight to fit into those clothes,
but instead, she asks me to buy her new clothes.
One time, she went out to meet her friend.
I saw her wearing her dad's pants.
- What? - What?
She was wearing loose elastic waistband pants.
- Her dad's pants? - I hated watching her like that,
and I was so upset.
Could it be that she chose to wear them?
She said it was in fashion.
- Are dad's pants in fashion? - It seems so.
Loose-fitting clothes are in fashion.
Why did you wear your dad's pants?
My mom buys me new clothes only when I've lost weight.
So I only have tight fitting clothes like skinny pants.
But I wanted to dress casually when I met my friend.
So I tried to find loose fitting pants.
- Are they your dad's pants? - Are you wearing your dad's pants?
No, my dad bought me these pants.
- They're not her dad's. - Her dad bought them for her.
Her dad is on her side.
These are baggy pants that my dad bought for me.
- She's adorable. - She seems so happy.
- She's cute. - She's so adorable.
You exercise really hard, and your mom plans your meals.
Have you ever succeeded in losing weight?
When I was in seventh grade, she said she wouldn't buy me...
a school uniform unless I lose weight.
So I lost about 10kg,
and she bought me a school uniform.
However, it's too tight for me now.
It's too tight because you gained weight?
Yes, so I asked my mom to buy me a new school uniform.
- She told me to lose weight. - "Lose weight instead."
So, are you wearing the same school uniform?
No, I wear my gym uniform.
I wear my gym uniform.
(She wears her gym uniform instead.)
It must be hard for her to lose weight.
I don't understand.
Why can't you lose weight when you keep exercising?
If she doesn't eat anything else...
I mean, she exercises hard every day. Am I right?
We have met a few people with similar worries.
As we dug deeper and deeper,
we found out that there was a reason.
It turned out that they ate more than normal people do.
You eat a lot at school, right?
- That's right. - Isn't there a school snack bar?
There isn't a school snack bar, but at lunch,
I gulp down a lot of food.
"I gulp down food."
- Do you ask for more food too? - She must be hungry.
- She gulps down the food. - That's so funny.
I put meat in my soup bowl.
In a soup bowl?
- She must be craving it so much. - Exactly.
- That's right. - Do you eat a lot of rice too?
- When I eat at school, - Do you eat a lot of rice?
- I'm not myself. - "I'm not myself."
- When I go to my friend's house, - "Hey, give me some food to eat."
I cook for myself and eat.
Look at her mom's face.
There's no way she can lose weight.
- Were you like that before? - My goodness.
- Her mom is gnashing her teeth. - She looks so upset.
I think she's grinding her teeth in anger.
When you're banned from doing something,
you tend to think about it all the time.
When you're not allowed to eat, you think of the food at school,
or what to eat at your friend's.
- Don't you always think of food? - Yes, I do.
I memorize the meal plans of my school.
(She blurts out everything.)
- You do? - What was...
- What did you eat on Monday? - On Monday this week.
- Andong style braised chicken. - Okay. Continue.
- Deep-fried pollack on Tuesday. - I love deep-fried pollack.
- It's a great side dish. - I ate bulgogi on Wednesday.
- It's good when mixed with rice. - On Thursday,
- I ate pizza tteokbokki. - Pizza tteokbokki.
- And... - Pizza tteokbokki is the best.
- It's so tasty with extra cheese. - Vietnamese rice noodle on Friday.
- Vietnamese rice noodle. - Do you have it at school?
- That's great. - Hold on a second.
- I wish I could go to her school. - Me too.
- That's so great for school meals. - I wish I could go back to school.
I think you should homeschool her if you want her to lose weight.
- I think I should do that. - Her mom looks so upset.
- She might start homeschooling her. - "I think I should do that."
You can't control what she eats outside of home.
I can't keep her in check, but I can tell.
- How? - She has some sauce on her lips.
- She's so cute. - Or she brushes her teeth,
which she rarely does even when I nag her.
When she does that, I get upset.
I scold her and make her exercise.
- And I don't give her food. - Oh, my.
- That's not working out well. - It only backfired.
Your mom's obsession makes you want a reward,
- and you eat more outside, right? - She eats even more outside.
- That's right. - Yes.
When do you think she's too harsh?
My mom is a gourmand.
She eats pizza, fried chicken, and beer...
- at the same time. - Oh, my.
She eats more than three portions of ramyeon that has no soup.
- She does? - Yes.
- I'm sure she exercises a lot. - She puts all of them on the table,
and tells me to finish my exercise,
and that she'll leave some for me.
When I come back, she gives me only one drum stick.
It feels like she's teasing me.
- That's torture. - Exactly.
Her mom must work out a lot.
It means that you burn all of the calories.
Yes, I eat whatever I want.
How do you keep in shape?
I work out as much as I eat.
- She's amazing. - Yoo Jeong barely managed to...
complain about her mom teasing her,
and we're all impressed by her mom.
- She's amazing. - She eats a lot,
- and she keeps fit. - She has six-pack abs.
How much do you exercise a day?
I exercise for two hours before breakfast every morning.
First thing in the morning.
Even when I eat out...
and come home around 2 or 3am,
- Do you exercise? - I exercise before I go to bed.
I majored in physical education.
- You did? - Yes.
- So I am used to it. - You're used to it.
- You're a sportswoman. - Yes.
- You're a typical... - That's why I can't let her be.
Do you have any siblings?
I have an older brother.
Is it okay for him to be chubby? Does your mom make him exercise too?
He's a professional soldier.
He doesn't live at home.
- He's a professional soldier? - Dad is slim.
- Dad's slim? - Yes.
No one is on your side.
Is it only you that your mom forces to exercise?
Mom nags my friends too.
When we're sitting down,
she tells us to get up and play outside.
- She says that to your friends? - Yes.
She says we're all the same.
You're all the same?
I think they're over there.
(Let's meet them.)
They're right there.
Hi.
Please raise your hands.
Hello.
They're so cute.
When Yoo Jeong's mom says you're all the same,
don't you get offended?
She says that often.
But I've never thought we're the same.
She says we look alike from behind.
- From behind? - Yes.
What about you? Does it offend you?
It makes me want to lose weight.
(Laughing)
Do you understand why Yoo Jeong is troubled?
She hears those things all the time.
It must bother her a lot.
She talks about it often at school.
Whenever she has money, she spends it all at convenience stores.
See?
We're getting more information.
The other day, she spent 10 dollars...
for a meal.
- At a convenience store? - Her mom is shocked.
- Look at her face. - Ma'am.
She found out only now.
- She looks mad. - She must have bought so much.
Why are you glaring at that girl?
(Innocent)
She eats the food she bought at a convenience store...
- at my place. - It's so funny.
That's understandable.
And my mom cooks for her. She eats that too.
- She has another mom. - How much do you eat, really?
She eats convenience store food and then her friend's mom's food.
How much does she usually eat at your place?
Once, we made tteokbokki together.
A bag of tteokbokki, fish cakes,
cheese...
(Shocked)
Look at her mom's face.
(What was the point of making her do 2,000 jump ropes?)
We added some ramyeon seasoning for added flavor too.
- Ramyeon seasoning? - Ramyeon seasoning?
- Not the noodles? - How many?
- We put the noodles too. - You did?
- You eat a lot. - Unbelievable.
Ma'am, do you see?
- It has an adverse effect. - Right.
What do you think?
I'll make her do more exercise from now on.
Can't you just trust your daughter?
I feel so betrayed right now.
She's eating a lot because of you.
She'd eat a lot regardless.
Tell me. If you were Yoo Jeong,
would you be stressed out?
I'd be so stressed out that I'd eat even more.
- You'd eat even more? - Exactly.
Doesn't your mom tell you to lose weight?
She says we both should lose weight.
But she's too lazy to exercise.
Is your mom a bit chubby?
Yes, she's like me.
She's so cute.
(She confesses the truth.)
- Someone has been laughing a lot. - Who is she?
I'm Yoo Jeong's friend's...
mom.
(A friend's mom is here.)
They look alike.
You two look alike.
When Yoo Jeong's mom says to your daughter,
"You're all the same,"
doesn't it hurt your feelings?
To be honest, they're the same.
As you can see, they are. I think so too.
- But they're not very fat... - No.
- or ugly. - No.
It's not like that.
They're just very healthy.
It seems like Yoo Jeong eats a lot...
when she visits your place. Have you seen it?
Whenever she visits,
I ask her if she's eaten.
She usually says she hasn't.
Then I give her some food.
For some reason, she often visits when we're having meat.
(Oh, my.)
For some reason.
For some reason, right?
- For some reason. - That's strange.
She might be aware when you're having meat.
She can eat a lot.
- Right? - Yoo Jeong sometimes...
complains to me too.
- What did she say? - When she goes out with her mom,
according to her, her mom says she's ashamed of her...
because she's too chubby.
- When they go out? - Yes.
Yoo Jeong must have been hurt.
What exactly happened?
I once exercised at Mom's gym.
She kept telling me...
not to call her Mom.
She wanted me to treat her just as a personal trainer.
And...
once, we were walking arm in arm on the street.
And we ran into one of Mom's clients.
She told me to wait somewhere else.
I asked her if she had to discuss something serious,
and she said she was just ashamed of me.
She told me to lose weight if I wanted to go out with her.
- Are you really ashamed of her? - No way.
I'm not.
I'm a personal trainer.
My job is to help my clients get fit.
"She can't even make her daughter fit."
Some people seem to wonder why I only care about myself,
and not my daughter.
That's why I sometimes...
let go of her hand on the street.
I'm sorry about that.
It's sad.
You're looking at it only from your perspective.
You say that you worry about your daughter...
and that you're doing it for her sake.
In reality, what you're afraid of is losing your face.
My father was an elementary school teacher.
He taught his students...
Chinese characters.
One day, he went to an exhibition...
with his students and their parents.
There were some calligraphic works,
and his students could read all the Chinese characters.
But I, his son, couldn't.
Parents were curious...
why I couldn't read the characters.
If my father had been ashamed of me,
I would have gotten very hurt.
But he said,
"Dong Yeob is learning other things."
"He's good at many other things."
- That's amazing. - He said that.
He wasn't ashamed of me at all.
I was good at making jokes.
Anyway, even though I was very young,
I was very thankful that my father said that.
Is your mom perfect...
except that she nags you about your weight?
She's not interested in anything except my weight.
All she cares about is my diet and exercise.
She doesn't care about my grades either.
She never says anything whatever grades I get.
I used to be very bad at math.
But my score went up from 45 to 100.
Did your mom compliment you?
- You're amazing. - I studied so hard,
but all Mom said was, "Good job."
She wasn't impressed.
She said, "So what? You should, of course, study hard."
Is that why you ate pizza?
(Laughing)
Is she happier when you lose weight?
She's happier when I lose 1kg...
than when my grades go up.
Is it more important to lose weight than to get good grades?
Even if she gets bad grades,
I'd want her to exercise more.
It is more important to be physically and mentally healthy...
than to get good grades.
Don't you think you might be...
negatively affecting Yoo Jeong's mental health?
Before, she wanted to lose weight herself.
She even asked me to force her to exercise...
when she didn't want to.
Maybe I went a bit overboard.
But I don't understand why she suddenly hates it so much.
It's understandable. She's in eighth grade.
She probably wants to say no to everything grown-ups say.
But you seem to be a bit confined in your narrow perspective.
It's a shame.
I know I'm being a bit harsh in that matter...
compared to other parents.
I just want her to have confidence when she grows up.
I think it'll help her social life...
if she can look better.
But confidence level depends on...
how happy you are.
Even people who look good...
can lack confidence.
- They just look good. - People...
who are expected to be not confident, on the other hand,
can be so confident, popular, and competent.
It makes them so attractive.
Appearance is not the only factor...
that determines your confidence level...
- as you believe. - Of course not.
You're misunderstanding it.
Even I got married.
- I mean... - You're slim.
You exercise a lot.
You don't gain weight no matter how much you eat.
I do if I eat a lot.
But you stay fit by exercising a lot.
I try.
I want my daughter to do so too.
She can't.
Let's say your parents were...
very good students...
and you weren't.
"Why don't you study hard?"
"I studied hard. Why can't you?"
Everyone is different.
"Why can't you do as I did?"
"I don't understand you. I won't give you dinner."
"I won't give you dinner unless you get a certain score."
It's the same thing.
People who succeed in losing weight have self-determination.
- That's right. - You can't force someone to do it.
However, you're doing the latter.
At her age, she should make memories with her mom...
and feel stable, comfortable, and free...
when she is home.
Since she has a mom who is scarier than a teacher,
I worry that she won't have...
any sense of longing or memories she want to revisit.
I was an athlete when I was young.
When you are forced to meet a quota...
and have to go without food if you don't meet it,
you don't think, "In order to eat, I will meet the quota."
- You just pretend like you did. - That's right.
- You eat in secret. - That's right.
"I will feign exhaustion and rest."
I think it will develop a bad habit.
It's entirely possible. She could buy food elsewhere too.
- It changes the way you think. - Let me share how I gained weight.
We drink a lot of water or beverage when we are thirsty.
Being busy, my mom couldn't cook me three meals a day.
I finally had a meal when she came home in the evening.
- You binge ate. - "This is my only chance to eat."
- So I binge ate. - I know what it's like.
I binge ate. Seriously.
Yoo Jeong's thoughts are focused on food.
- She eats a lot at once. - Do you think it applies to you?
- That's why she is gaining weight. - Really?
- Did you eat a lot at once? - Can you eat less...
- at home and school... - That's right.
without your mom telling you?
Yes, I think I can do that.
Will you exercise on your own?
It will be hard to exercise during the exam period.
However, I will exercise regularly if my mom asks me to.
Now, use this opportunity to tell your mom what you want.
I think Mom is a lookist.
"Women should be pretty and skinny no matter what."
- "Women don't need good grades." - She said that.
"Women succeed if they are pretty and skinny."
I want her to change her thoughts.
I also want her to take more interest...
in my studies.
- We haven't had this worry before. - Seriously.
"I want my mom to take more interest in my studies."
(She doesn't say anything.)
When I was young, I enjoyed exercising.
We always took a walk after dinner...
- and talked about everything. - It was fun.
Yes, I enjoyed it very much.
- It's different now. - You don't like it anymore.
Mom runs off on her own.
If I can't keep up with her, she yells at me.
She herds me like I am a cow.
"She herds me like I am a cow."
Now that she has grown up, she is beginning to wonder,
"Why doesn't Mom ever tell me about inner beauty?"
She is at the age to have thoughts of her own.
Since she is yearning for that answer,
you should satiate it first.
Ji Ho, is it a worry or not?
I don't think it's a worry.
Since I am an actor, I want my daughter to be...
- an actress. - Really?
Her problem is that she imposes such ideas on her daughter.
- That's right. - By reaching an agreement,
they will be able to solve their problem.
I think it's an unfortunate worry.
At her age, she should have happy memories...
of enjoying tteokbokki with her friends...
or wanting to go home quickly to eat home-cooked meals.
- It's only natural. - That's right.
Since she doesn't seem to have those happy memories,
I think it's an unfortunate worry.
She has a lot of memories with her friends.
She isn't letting her mom stop her.
I also think it's a worry.
I think it's a worry.
She will grow up, get married,
and have children.
Even later in her life, Yoo Jeong might go,
"My mom was like that when I was little."
"She gave me a lot of emotional scars."
I don't want that to happen.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Time's up. - Stop.
Please say a few words to Yoo Jeong, a daughter you love the most.
Yoo Jeong.
I swear I don't treat you that way because I am ashamed of you.
In my attempt to help,
I was too stubborn with forcing you to exercise.
However, you need to exercise.
My goodness.
When it comes to food, I will do my best...
to ease up a little.
I have the tendency to use harsh words...
and act in a way that causes misunderstandings.
I will try to change my ways.
- I love you. - Take interest in her studies.
- Okay. - Ma'am,
- compliment her. - Shower her with compliments.
Her test score went from 45 to 100.
She always gets an average score of 95 out of 100.
- She is a good student. - She gets good grades.
- She is humble about it, too. - That's why...
I wasn't particularly impressed.
From now on, I will praise you for your good grades.
- You are doing well. - My goodness, she is crying.
- My goodness. - This is great.
How many votes did the worry get? Show us the result.
The last digit is...
- 3. - 3.
- Did it get over 100 votes? - It did.
My goodness.
- 153 votes? - 153 votes?
- 133 votes. - A lot of people voted.
A lot of people voted.
There are always people like this around us.
Hello, I am a woman in my 20s who is raising a 100-day-old child.
I have a grandma who raised me ever since I was little.
A grandma.
I was happy to stay at her place for postnatal care,
but I began to live my life in worry.
"Grandma, are you going out again?"
"Yes, I am. Eat on your own, okay?"
Grandma won't make her meals.
"Where are you going?"
"I am busy. I will be back."
My grandma goes to an event hall every day.
Sellers liven up the atmosphere and sell products to elders.
There are such places.
When she comes back from an event hall, I ask her.
"Grandma, what are these?" Then she says, "These are gifts."
"Toilet paper and dish soap were sold for a dollar."
Toilet paper, dish soap, toothpaste, and pots are some products she buys.
Here is the problem. "What is this?"
"It's an anion jade mattress with electromagnetic waves."
- "It's 700 dollars." - My goodness.
"This vacuum gets rid of mites. It's 700 dollars."
"This is deer velvet medicine. It's 1,200 dollars."
My goodness.
In the past two months, Grandma used 4,000 dollars.
Grandma.
- She must be rich. - She buys products so often.
Where does she get the money?
"Grandma, I am Manager One."
"I brought an amazing product today. You will come, right?
- Are there managers? - The event halls...
- contact my grandma directly. - This is unbelievable.
This is unbelievable.
It looks like my grandma will use up her entire fortune.
- What should I do? - My goodness.
(Please stop my grandma.)
Please come on out.
(Whose grandma is obsessed with event halls?)
(Lee Han Sol)
(Welcome.)
Which event halls does your grandma frequent?
Event halls invite the elders...
and sell all kinds of products from household items...
to dietary supplements.
Salespeople who are young enough to be their sons go,
- "Mother, Father." - That's right.
- They provide entertainment... - That's right.
- to sell products. - That's exactly right.
I lived with my grandma ever since I was little.
I moved out when I started working and got married,
but moved back in recently to receive postnatal care.
I thought she had quit, but she still goes to event halls.
- She has always gone. - Yes.
At first, I didn't think much of it...
because she was having fun.
However, it has been going on for 10 years now.
- 10 years? - In that case,
how much money did she spend in those 10 years?
She could have bought a house with that kind of money.
(That's what I am saying.)
Which products does she buy?
Mattresses, dietary supplements,
dishes, pots, etc.
Dishes and pots? They have all kinds of products.
If you buy those products, you can get a box of melons...
- for a few dollars. - That's right.
Those products are the baits.
You also get a lot of gifts.
I think my grandma falls for it.
(Grandma falls for gifts.)
After my dad retired, he didn't get severance pay at once,
but in form of pension.
He used 80 percent of the pension he received every month...
on event halls.
- Really? - Did your father do that?
- It surprised me very much. - He used money on event halls.
Yes. I once hosted a program...
that focused on event halls.
To be honest, it's understandable.
Grandmas and grandpas are lonely...
because their children are busy.
When they go to event halls, salespeople give them a massage...
and converse with them. It's very entertaining.
They spend all day at event halls. When asked to buy the products,
- they can't refuse. - That's right.
The program surprised me so much that I told my dad about it.
When I went to his place, it was filled with strange products.
He has spent thousands of dollars in a few months.
- Where does she get the money? - Seriously.
When I ask, she only says,
"Why wouldn't I have money at this age?"
She won't share the details.
Why didn't you stop your grandma?
My family and I did our best to stop her.
It only leads to fights.
After a while, everyone grew tired and gave up.
That's how it came to this.
It could be the joy of her life.
Right? Let's hear her side of the story.
Hello.
- Hello. - Welcome.
Your granddaughter is very worried about your habit.
I don't know why she is worried.
It's not like they pay for the products.
(It's not like they pay for the products.)
- She uses her own money. - That's right.
What happens at the event hall?
At first, they bring in people with advertisements and flyers.
When people gather, salespeople give out gifts...
and begin to sell products.
When I listen to the lecture and feel that...
the product suits my needs and my daughters',
I buy it.
Why do you go? Is it because it's fun?
I would be bored otherwise.
Directors and managers take turns...
to sing a song...
and give us a show in hanbok and wig.
- Do they give you a show? - Of course they do.
- It's like watching a movie. - I go to see something like that.
Do you dance along?
I don't dance.
Han Sol says you buy products at an event hall too often.
How often to you buy products?
There are many times I come home empty-handed.
Compared to other people at the event hall,
would you say you buy products more often or less often?
- I am in the middle. - You are in the middle.
You don't have to buy the products at the event hall.
Why do you go there instead of a regular store?
At event halls, I see the product and listen to the lecture.
It's much more convenient than visiting a store.
If you enjoy the entertainment...
without buying a single product,
they let their displeasure be known.
- That's right. - It can't be helped.
- They let their displeasure be known. - That's right.
That's why you can't help but buy the products.
If you don't buy the products, you feel uncomfortable...
since you enjoyed the entertainment and received gifts.
Is that why you buy products?
Some people still don't buy the products.
- Some people aren't swayed. - That's right.
Aren't those people wise?
It's shameless to receive gifts without making a purchase.
Are you siding with the salespeople?
I am not siding with the salespeople.
You sound like you are.
It's their work.
People shouldn't rip gifts off of them.
Ma'am, tell us honestly. What is your title?
Seriously.
(My goodness, Grandma.)
You must have used tens of thousands of dollars.
Where did you get that much money? subtitles ripped and synced by riri3
It's exactly as Han Sol said. Of course I have money at this age.
Good for you.
Listen.
In the past, I worked for a company that makes stationery...
- and an insurance company. - You saved up money.
You are using the money you saved up all your life.
I sold the house, too.
Did you sell the house?
Did you sell the house to buy products?
I sold it because there were talks of redevelopment.
I used the money to move to a different house.
It sounds like she is well-off.
She says that,
but she buys an expensive product with a monthly installment plan.
A monthly installment plan.
Then she says she doesn't have enough for living expenses.
I don't think she is well-off.
Ma'am, your granddaughter has a different claim.
She says you said you don't have enough money.
Of course I have enough money. I can get by without a problem.
You said you don't have enough money.
Of course I have enough money.
Are you making fun of us? "Of course I have enough money!"
Han Sol and her grandma...
- smile as they talk. - That's right.
However, people who are sitting next to her...
continue to sigh with a solemn facial expression.
Let's talk to the family members.
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
- Hello. - Hello.
Please introduce yourself.
I am her youngest daughter.
- The youngest daughter. - She is the daughter.
Do you understand your niece's worry?
I understand it wholeheartedly.
When I go to her house,
I would see a pile of toilet paper rolls...
- or a drawer I haven't seen before. - A drawer.
What concerned you the most?
This has been a while, but there was an anion water purifier.
An anion water purifier.
When you plugged it in, it lit up and purified water.
I don't remember if it purified water effectively,
but it was very expensive.
Her recent purchase was deer velvet medicine.
She gave it to my sister.
I gave it to my oldest daughter without telling her.
- She became upset, right? - She found out...
because I ended up talking about it during Chuseok.
(Laughing)
Ma'am, why are you so happy?
I am always happy.
Have you received anything from your mother?
No. That's why I am upset.
You didn't receive anything.
That's why she isn't smiling.
- I was upset... - Of course you were.
to hear that she gave my sister the expensive deer velvet medicine.
Did she give you anything small?
Toilet paper that creates a lot of dust.
"Toilet paper that creates a lot of dust."
That kind of toilet paper is low-quality.
Who is the man sitting next to you?
Hello, I am Han Sol's husband.
He is Han Sol's husband.
Do you understand your wife's worry?
Of course I do.
I was very surprised after I got married.
Usually, Han Sol's grandma is very frugal.
However, she uses hundreds or thousands of dollars...
at event halls.
I heard that the most expensive product she has bought...
was 10,000 dollars.
That's right.
Did she use that much with a single swipe?
You are an experienced reporter. Don't say "a single swipe".
I was too surprised.
What is the most serious problem?
Since different products are piled up in her house,
I sometimes bruise my toes...
from tripping over them in the dark.
- Just how many products are there? - There must be a lot.
When I am in the room,
I have to tilt my body to move around.
- Really? - Is it that bad?
Since I take my baby to her house,
I called the house cleaning service.
They said they wouldn't be able to clean properly...
since they have never seen a house with so many household items.
The production crew prepared a picture.
(The items are revealed.)
(Gifts fill the house.)
- Is that Grandma's room? - My goodness.
Look at those pots.
- It's a mosquito killer. - It's a mosquito killer.
- It's a product I have never seen. - A vacuum cleaner.
- Silkworm. - Silkworm.
- Silkworm? - How many pictures are there?
(The items are endless.)
There must be a lot of items in nooks and crannies of her house.
Why do I see so many pots?
You always need more pots.
- The items are piled up. - Seriously.
- When will you use them all? - What you saw are steamers.
I have a sister who lives in Busan.
She also bought 2,000 dollars' worth of deer velvet medicine.
(She bought 2,000 dollars' worth of deer velvet medicine.)
- They were coaxed into it. - However,
I got her share of gifts...
because they were too heavy for her to carry back to Busan.
Your granddaughter says you were coaxed into a purchase.
- I wasn't coaxed into it! - Ma'am.
You should buy deer velvet medicine...
from a certified shop...
- after consulting with a doctor. - Otherwise, it's dangerous.
It can be dangerous to buy medicines anywhere.
Tell us about the product...
your youngest daughter mentioned. An anion water purifier.
- It disappeared. - Why did it disappear?
I don't know.
- "I don't know." - For how long did you use it?
(For goodness' sake, Mom.)
How long?
I only used it a few times after I bought it.
How much did you pay for it?
I don't remember.
- I bet you don't want to remember. - It's been long.
(Please stop buying those products.)
Did you use the mosquito killer this summer?
I didn't use it.
- Ma'am. - Why didn't you use it?
There were a lot of mosquitoes this summer.
- It would have been useful. - There were no mosquitoes.
That's why I didn't use it.
- Were there no mosquitoes? - Were there no mosquitoes?
In that case, will you give it to me?
No, I won't.
I would have given it to you had I brought it with me.
It's not like you will follow me to my house.
- Me? - Yes.
I will follow you.
Let's go then.
If she replaces...
the old items with the new ones she buys,
- I wouldn't mind. - That's right.
However, she just keeps them in a pile.
She continues to use the old items.
Once she throws away the unused products,
she won't have an excuse to go to the event hall.
She can't buy the products she will throw away anyway.
That's why she can't throw them away.
My father was the same.
To tell you the truth,
he and I had a serious fight in the end.
That's why he tried very hard to make his father remarry.
He asked me about it, too.
You did.
Your father's problem was full-blown back then, right?
Right?
He wanted his father to stop going to event halls.
- He asked me many times. - Does your grandpa say anything...
on the matter?
My grandpa is elsewhere.
- He is living separately. - I knew it.
- Your grandma is lonely. - My father lived alone, too.
He went to event halls because he was lonely.
Ma'am, how do you feel when you don't go to event halls?
I farm.
- You work, too. - I go to the field.
When I am busy, I don't go to event halls.
I don't go every day.
(It's something I enjoy from time to time.)
Don't you think it's a loss to buy products you don't use?
People drink purple yam water for health.
I bought 1,000 dollars' worth of it.
Did you get 1t of purple yam water?
- Seriously. - She must have gotten a lot.
Did you get 1t of purple yam water?
They said a trip abroad would come with the purchase.
However, I received a trip to Jeju Island instead.
- How long was the trip? - 2 nights and 3 days.
That means the salespeople lied to you.
I didn't say anything because I got to go to Jeju Island.
A trip to Jeju Island costs...
a lot less than 1,000 dollars.
A three-day tour costs 300 dollars.
- That's right. - Think about how much profit...
they must have made to send you on a trip to Jeju Island.
I am sure they made profit. They do it for a living, after all.
(She trusts them entirely.)
They have to make profit one way or another.
Are you on their side?
Are one of the salespeople your child?
It would have been nicer...
to use that 1,000 dollars to go on a trip with your children.
It's impossible to do that.
I only went on a trip because I got a good deal.
Did you pay for the meals?
- No, I didn't. - The meals were included.
Did you finish drinking purple yam water?
I still have it at home.
(I still have it at home.)
(In conclusion, she wasted 1,000 dollars.)
- She wasted 1,000 dollars. - Did you know...
she had spent 1,000 dollars to buy purple yam water?
No, I didn't.
- Did you find out about it now? - Yes.
(She found out about it now.)
The salespeople coaxes her into a purchase...
by telling her how expensive the product usually is.
That's right.
I saw on the news...
that the methods they use are illegal.
Even though I tell her not to go,
she doesn't listen.
It was on the news often.
So we prepared the video which was in the news.
- Let's watch it together. - Please watch it.
(It's a product promotional event.)
They are busy promoting the product in front of hundreds of elders.
(Mother!)
(They plead the elders to buy the product.)
(Laughing)
This 65-year-old woman, Ms. Kim...
spent over 10,000 dollars on things she doesn't even need.
They even sold products claiming...
that having it alone will prevent someone from death.
They deceived the elders with exaggerated advertisements.
The vendors mainly targeted...
women over 65 years old and sold cosmetics and health food...
at the price twice or three times higher...
than the market price.
They treated the elders even nicer than their own children.
And they spent a lot of time talking to them.
The event itself is very enjoyable.
That's why the elders go to these events, knowing that it's a scam.
- My goodness. - It's sad.
This is the situation.
After watching that, how do you feel now?
After watching the news, how do you feel?
I don't feel much different.
When someone says they're selling something good...
and asks if I don't want to go,
I tell them that I quit going to those events.
But I eventually get curious about what they sell and go.
- You want to stop it, - Of course.
- but you can't control yourself. - She can't.
But this is what happens to everyone.
The other day, someone was giving out two packs of tissue,
so I put on a mask and went down.
And he talked for an hour.
You shouldn't even go there.
- Should I not go? - She knows.
- She's telling me not to go. - She knows it.
- You shouldn't go either. - She knows.
She knows, but she can't control herself.
When they try to sell things to other people and fail,
I feel bad for them, so I buy the things for them.
Ma'am, I'm telling you this because you don't seem to know.
Among the elders who buy these products,
there are ones hired by these people.
- Really? - They work together.
I've heard about these people.
- Did you know? - Did you know about this?
Of course I know.
You're not one of them, are you?
(Are you one of them?)
- I am not. - You seem to be on their side.
- No. - It seems like you've done it.
(This is a worry.)
Has she always been very active?
Raising her four daughters,
she's been living a tough life.
Being thrifty, she often didn't turn on the lights.
To save water, she always filled the bathtub with water.
She never throws away food that's past its expiry date.
- That's how thrifty she is. - Yes.
She's very thrifty, and yet...
- she spends a lot in those places. - She spends a lot.
Does she get a taxi after buying things at the event?
- No. - Then?
Recently, on a rainy day,
she carried a big pack of tissue while getting rained on.
- She didn't want to get a cab. - She walked.
(She spends hundreds of dollars buying products.)
- She hand-carried them in the rain. - Ma'am.
If you got a cab, you could've gotten home early and dry.
Why didn't you get a cab?
Why would I let the taxi driver take my money?
I could just walk home. It's better for my health anyway.
Then why do you let those people take your money?
- Why do you give your money? - It's a business.
- Driving a taxi is also a business. - Driving a taxi is also a business.
Why do you always turn off the lights at home?
Why would I leave the unnecessary lights on?
Why do you pile up unnecessary things?
I buy them because I need them.
- But you don't use them. - But you don't use them.
(Frustrated, they shout it together.)
Of course I use them.
- They're fighting! - You don't use them.
- It's Cultwo. - When will you use them?
I am going to use it someday.
- Tell us when. - Do whatever you like.
Do whatever you like.
(She's very stubborn.)
Dong Yeob said this too. Perhaps she needs company.
- Right. - Right?
Can't your family spend more time with her?
I hope to do that too.
But Grandma is too busy.
She's much busier than us. If we want to eat with her,
we have to make an appointment ahead of time.
- Does she have a tight schedule? - She's a celebrity.
She's busier than us. She has more friends.
She works in the field.
And her day starts early in the morning.
She says the land is small, but it's 991.7m².
And she farms it alone.
She skips lunch and goes straight to the events to shop.
- She's busy. - She even skips meals.
She usually eats once a day. But she's old now.
So she always suffers from dizziness.
We tell her to get a check-up.
- But she refuses. - But she refuses.
I went to see a doctor with my eldest daughter.
And the doctor told me to stay at the hospital for three days.
But I didn't feel like it.
If you take care of yourself well...
and go to these events,
- we wouldn't have any objections. - Right. We wouldn't.
But you don't care about your health at all.
And yet you go to these events and spend all your savings.
Not wanting to spend money on taxi, you carry everything and walk.
This is why we find it hard to understand you.
Think about it. You don't spend for yourself, do you?
I don't.
Have you been saving up for those salespeople?
Did you save and act thrifty for years for them?
Right. Why do I go there...
(She comes to her senses.)
Why do I spend hundreds and thousands of dollars there?
- You think it's ridiculous. - She can't understand herself.
Right. I try not to go. I don't know.
Is there something you want to tell her before we end?
Honestly, I want her to stop going to these events altogether.
But since she's having fun there,
I wouldn't stop her from going there.
I just hope she will care more about her health.
Grandma.
I am sorry I don't get to take care of you well.
Let's live happily.
- Okay. - I love you.
She's so sweet.
Thank you. I won't go anywhere.
Ji Ho, is this a worry or not?
Right. I think it's a worry.
I also think it's a worry.
She should visit those events less frequently...
and spend more time with her family.
I think her situation is only going to get better.
So I don't think it's a worry.
You won't go there now, would you?
- See? She knows. - Ji Han.
She says she's going to stop going there.
And I believe her.
If you can sympathize with this young lady, press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4... - 5, 4,
- A lot of people are voting. - 3,
- 2, 1. - That's it.
Please say something to your granddaughter.
Since she wants it, I will try to control myself.
I won't go to those events.
So don't bother me when I hang out with my friends.
- She's funny. - Let's check the result.
How many did she get? Please reveal the result.
133?
The previous one got a lot of votes too.
- Is it 120? - Is it 140?
Is it 100?
You won.
(She got 140 votes.)
"A Woman Who Can't Register Her Marriage".
The title is very impactful.
Sul Gi, did you register your marriage?
- Of course I did. - You should hurry up.
- He might change his mind. - You have to register it fast.
- I did it before the wedding. - Good job.
Hello.
I am a housewife who is eight months pregnant.
Two years ago, I met a good-hearted, sweet man...
and had a wedding everyone envied.
But I think I got tricked by my husband.
My husband always has been a heavy smoker.
"Honey, when you marry me, you will quit smoking."
"Otherwise, I won't marry you."
"Of course. Once I decide, I will be able to quit right away."
But even after we decided to get married, he didn't quit smoking.
They do that.
"Honey, our wedding is in two days."
"If you don't quit smoking, I won't walk down the aisle."
- That's strong. - "I am sorry."
"I will quit right after the wedding. Trust me."
But after we got married...
"I will quit when you get pregnant. I mean it."
I am now eight months pregnant.
"I will quit as soon as the baby comes out."
"I'll quit when I see the baby."
- "I am serious this time." - This is so frustrating.
The problem is this. Because he hasn't kept his promise,
we haven't registered our marriage yet.
I want to register our marriage too.
Please help us end this situation.
(She wants to become legally married to her husband.)
He promised to quit smoking.
Ji Ho, I wonder what you think about this.
(He's flustered.)
- You have a baby too. - That's not it.
I don't know what I can say.
Do you smoke?
I... Yes. I do.
- Do you smoke E-cigarette? - She's not Ji Ho's wife, is she?
- No. - No.
I told her honestly before we got married.
- You told her you'll smoke. - Yes.
I told her that I would listen to her about everything...
if she didn't meddle with my smoking and exercising.
I told her I could drink less.
- And was she okay with it? - Yes.
When I was getting married,
I asked JYP to sing at my wedding.
- Park Jin Young? - Yes. He said...
he would sing at my wedding if I quit smoking.
- Really? - So I told him I would quit.
After he sang at my wedding,
I didn't see him often.
(That's lame.)
(He cut off his friendship instead of quitting smoking.)
I stopped smoking about five years ago.
You have to just stop one day. Otherwise, it's very hard.
- You're amazing. - It's not easy reducing the dose.
I really hate the smell of cigarette.
I had to marry someone who doesn't smoke.
- That was my condition. - That was your condition.
Fortunately, my husband never smoked.
- You met the right man. - He got a lot of points for that.
That was one quality you were looking for.
What were some other qualities you looked for in men?
Other qualities? Since I am short,
I wanted someone who is taller than 180cm.
Is your husband taller than 180cm?
No, he's 173cm tall.
173cm tall.
What happened?
- What happened? - When I...
got blinded by love,
he looked like he was 2m tall. I loved him too much.
(Loved filled the lacking 7cm.)
- He was Seo Jang Hoon to me. - I know.
Right.
Let's meet her.
(Who is the person who can't register marriage with her husband?)
- She's coming from the back. - She's going to walk out.
(She's 8 months pregnant.)
She's pregnant.
(Kim Soo Hee)
Here's a blanket.
- You can stretch your leg. - You'll be more comfortable.
Oh, my baby.
- She means the baby. - "My baby."
- The baby in her belly. - I was afraid...
the baby inside her would get cold.
Please introduce yourself.
Hello.
I am the woman who can't register the marriage because...
of her husband. I am Kim Soo Hee form Hongseong.
Welcome.
(Welcome to Hello.)
You said your husband is a heavy smoker. How much does he smoke?
I don't know precisely how much he smokes.
Right. You don't stay with him outside.
But when he comes home from work,
- he reeks of cigarette. - He reeks of cigarette.
- He would. - I hate that.
You'd hate that.
Second-hand smoking is worse for you.
- Right. - She's pregnant,
so she should be more sensitive.
Like Seul Gi,
did you want to marry a non-smoker?
I wanted to marry someone...
who doesn't smoke even when he drinks a lot.
- I hated men who smoke. - You hated.
- How did you fall for him? - How did you meet?
When we were introduced,
I asked him if he could quit smoking.
He said he didn't quit because no woman had told him to.
He said he could quit right away.
- He's good at bluffing. - He was bluffing.
He said that.
"I didn't quit because no woman had told me to."
- "I should quit if you tell me to." - He said he could quit.
That's called "flirting".
(That's a low-level flirting technique.)
A lot of people have consulted us about the smoking issue.
Compared to other people we've consulted,
it's not a very serious worry. It's not that bad.
My husband has never tried to quit.
He's never gone a day without smoking.
I thought he would quit smoking if we have a child.
But even when I got pregnant, he didn't even attempt to quit.
He said he would quit before I give birth.
But I am nearly giving birth.
- You are almost giving birth. - He's still smoking.
Did you really not register your marriage?
I thought it was my last resort.
Will you not register the marriage if he doesn't quit smoking?
You have to do it at certain point.
I've decided to put the baby under my family register.
- What? - What?
- Is that how determined you are? - If he doesn't quit smoking.
If he doesn't quit it, I can't help but to do it.
We are not legally married.
So I told my husband that the baby will be registered under me.
Was your husband shocked?
He doesn't realize the seriousness of this situation.
- What did he say? - When he heard me...
I'm sure he didn't take your word seriously.
He said it's good that our last names are the same.
- You are both Kim. - Yes.
Is your family name Kim?
- Did he really say that? - He was glad we were both Kim.
Let's hurry up and meet her husband. Hello.
Hello.
I hate you. I'm not saying hello.
- We hate you. - My goodness.
- Sir. - Yes?
Do you understand your wife's concern?
I understand it only halfway.
- Halfway? - Why is that?
My colleagues' wives...
all allow their husbands to smoke.
Even her little brother smokes.
But his wife lets him smoke.
But my wife can't understand me.
- But you made a promise. - You...
- You shouldn't have. - Why did you make a promise?
You should've been like Ji Ho.
You should've told her that you couldn't give it up...
and that you will make it up by doing other things right.
You promised her.
I shouldn't have done that.
I have never quit smoking.
I thought I was going to be able to quit.
Do you regret promising her?
- Yes, I do. - My goodness.
- What should we do? - It's just like going to events.
It's hard to quit.
(They are the same.)
(It's hard to quit.)
- So you've never tried quitting. - No.
- Have you tried it? - I quit for one day.
- One day? - Yes, after I got married.
- I... - How did it feel?
- It must've killed him. - Did you get withdrawal symptoms?
Yes. When I decide to quit,
- after about an hour... - You get irritated, don't you?
- I get irritated. - Yes.
The thought of smoking fills up my head.
How much do you smoke each day?
Please be honest.
Honestly, I smoke about two packs a day.
- That's a lot. - That's too much.
- That's a lot. - Two packs are a lot.
I've been smoking for 15 years.
- How old are you? - How old are you?
I am 34.
So you began smoking around 20.
- That's dangerous. - The last year of high school.
You must constantly smoke.
How do you smoke two packs a day?
No, I am health-conscious.
What are you talking about?
- That's why he smokes two packs. - Come on out.
Come on out.
(She can't stand him anymore.)
My goodness.
- He's health-conscious. - You're health-conscious?
Before the wedding, you promised her you'd quit smoking.
I lie all the time,
and now I can't remember promising her that.
(How can he say that?)
What about the promise you made before your wife got pregnant?
- Before she got pregnant... - Was that like a habit too?
No. I made a promise thinking that...
- I can quit. - Wait.
I used to smoke...
and drink a lot.
So I am in no position to judge anyone who do those things.
But I don't smoke now.
I used to smoke 2 to 3.5 packs a day.
I am curious about what you tried to quit.
- I tried hard. - What did you do?
- I tried wearing nicotine patches. - The nicotine patch.
Yes. I tried eating candies instead.
- Candies? - That's not countable.
- He must love candies. - Eating candies is more like...
I attended a quit-smoking campaign at the health center.
And they gave me those.
(They were supposed to help him quit smoking.)
But I had to follow a schedule.
Right.
But I couldn't make time for it.
Ji Ho smokes E-cigarette. How about that?
I tried smoking E-cigarette.
It tastes completely different from the real cigarette.
- There's no point of smoking it. - You're going to quit anyway.
So why do you care whether it tastes different or not?
- How is it important? - It's frustrating.
- I've also... - Taste is very important, Seul Gi.
- Is it? - No matter what it is.
- Taste is important. - Stop.
I couldn't help it.
(Don't speak your mind.)
How about reducing it?
Did you think about reducing it?
I used to smoke so much.
So at one point, I decided to smoke only when I drink.
When I did that,
I could reduce the amount. But,
- I started drinking early. - You drank more.
I had to do that to keep my word.
That's how I ended up smoking less.
I tried hard to smoke less.
I tried smoking one cigarette per hour.
I also tried smoking only after eating.
But because it's my long-time habit,
I relapsed into my old habit after a few days.
(It's an old habit.)
Do you think...
your wife is being too fussy about it?
Yes, I do.
I wonder if she's just sensitive or if her sense of smell is good.
Even when I smell a little bit,
she nags me for about an hour.
- Does she nag for the whole hour? - Yes. When she does that,
I tell her to just hit me.
I tell her that.
- You tell her to hit you. - To hit you?
Yes. Other men wouldn't...
be able to stand the one-hour-long nagging.
In the past, whenever he got caught smoking,
he apologized to me.
- But now he's become thick-faced. - What does he say?
He says he's not smoking because he wants to.
He's smoking because his body demands it.
He says he smokes because his body wants him to.
He sounds like he's pregnant.
That's what she should be saying.
I work in a service industry,
and it's very stressful.
- Right. - I relieve stress by smoking.
But my wife doesn't understand it.
And that stresses me.
What does she say when she nags you?
Honestly, I listen to the first part of the nagging...
and zone out for the rest.
I can't stand it otherwise.
He must've gone through it so many times.
You sound very experienced.
When I listen to it, I feel like a criminal.
What does she say?
Is there anything you remember?
(What was the memorable one?)
This is something I don't understand.
She said my lungs smell.
- It's not like... - Your lungs smell.
- I can't clean my lungs. - Your lungs smell.
- He says he can't clean his lungs. - She means your breath.
You can't wash your lungs.
Right.
What I meant was that the smell comes from his lungs.
- He smells when he breathes. - Right.
It wakes me up at night.
I think I am very sensitive about it.
But she's not going to register your marriage unless you quit.
I think she will give up one day. That's what I've been thinking.
But she thinks you will quit smoking one day.
She's waiting for you, and she's putting more effort into it.
(He doesn't realize how serious it is.)
Don't you think you're doing something wrong?
She was serious enough to take the matter here.
I think she's not going to register the marriage.
- Right. - What is your plan?
I plan to quit before she gives birth.
- That sounds very familiar. - You don't have much time.
Before she gives birth.
- Yes. - Is that another trick?
I plan to quit.
I asked other people,
and they said the only way to quit is not smoking at all.
Yes. You just need to stop.
I plan to give it a try.
- When? - Before the baby is born.
I should've just left before this story.
(The first guest ever to leave before a story is told.)
He doesn't feel comfortable.
- He feels uneasy. - But I...
- I understand him. - Sure.
- There's... - You used to smoke too.
nothing I can say for him.
He thinks he can quit,
and you will register marriage.
- I'll never... - You won't do it?
- I'll never... - Until he quits?
No. I'm not going to do it.
Quitting smoking is the only thing I ask of him.
I understand everything else. His hobby's fishing.
- I let him go fishing. - Often?
Why are you surprised, Ji Han?
The hobby that most girlfriends or wives don't understand or...
- Fishing? - can't stand is fishing.
Are you surprised because she understands him?
Yes.
We received many stories due to fishing as well.
I understand him when he goes drinking.
You understand him even though he could smoke there?
That's where people smoke the most.
I know.
All I want is...
- for him to quit smoking. - Is that all?
She's pretty conceding. She said she understands everything.
All she's asking is to quit smoking.
She said she understands everything,
but honestly, I went fishing only once this year.
It's October now.
- Did you go only one? - Yes.
I only went to company dinner twice.
But you did go anyway.
I can't believe she said she understands everything.
Were you not able to go fishing because she didn't understand it?
- You had another reason. - Right. I didn't have time.
That's why, but she doesn't mind when you go fishing.
Will you still be okay if he goes fishing every weekend?
(She can't answer him.)
What about a company dinner twice every month?
She needs time to think about it.
I'm okay with a company dinner twice every month.
- Are you? - Yes.
She says she understands when I drink,
but that's only because she likes drinking.
Is she not drinking now because she's pregnant?
Right. She drank so much before she was pregnant.
That's why she said she's fine with company dinners.
- She drank pretty much every day. - Really?
She can't even drink a full bottle.
She can't drink a lot.
But once she finishes a bottle, she doesn't stop drinking.
- She's not drinking on her will. - My goodness.
Everyone knows about her drinking habits.
- She runs around. - What?
It's fine if she just runs around,
but she falls down because she's drunk.
Some people run.
- I know. - My friend...
runs home when he's drunk.
- Some people do that. - He runs home.
Then he says he's tired when he wakes up.
(Why do I get so tired every time I drink?)
He says, "Why am I so tired?"
Do you remember running around?
Yes.
You get tired.
- But I feel happy. - Is that so?
Is there anything else?
Also, she...
- He's excited. - He's excited.
- Look at him. - He's excited.
Her work takes about an hour by train,
so she used to take trains every day to work.
But she missed the stop because she fell asleep after drinking.
I have to drive after the train.
- You follow the train by car? - Then...
Wait. Shouldn't they switch place?
She's not drinking right now because she's pregnant.
He said I went to the company dinner often,
but it was only during the end of the year.
I don't usually go to the company dinner.
I admit I was out of control once.
I'm not drinking right now because I'm pregnant,
and I don't think I'll drink again.
I admit that I made him suffer.
- She admits it. - She said she admits it.
I wouldn't mind...
even if she drinks.
So are you asking her to understand smoking?
What do you expect from your wife to quit smoking?
I just want her to wait rather than yelling at me.
- Wait? - She's been waiting until now.
I want her to wait without complaining.
- Complaining? - Without complaining.
You broke your promise so many times.
(How could she not complain?)
She said it only counts when I quit smoking for six months.
I think six months is way too long.
- Look. - Are you going to smoke again?
Once you quit, you shouldn't smoke again.
I want her to reduce it down to a month.
I don't think he knows what it means to quit smoking.
Are you saying you're going to smoke again after a month?
No. I'm going to try, but I think six months is way too long.
- This is crazy. - First three days are important.
Your wife quit drinking as soon as she got pregnant.
She's eight-month pregnant. How would you feel...
if she gets drunk and fall asleep on a street?
That's unimaginable.
See? Your wife sacrificed.
- Right. - I think this is the time...
for you to make sacrifice as a husband and as a father.
She has no choice...
but to avoid drinking because she's pregnant.
(She has no choice but to stop drinking.)
Then think yourself as pregnant.
His belly is as big...
(He looks like he's pregnant.)
unfortunately.
It's not like you must quit smoking...
because cigarette is food preference,
but the thing is that you made a promise.
That's why it's wrong. If you didn't make a promise, you can smoke.
She can't say anything, but that was a condition of marriage.
You have to be responsible.
With all due respect,
my father died early due to smoking.
The absence of father is...
the biggest pain for the family,
and it's so hard after he dies.
I'm still jealous of those whose fathers are alive.
If you quit smoking, it's not only good for your wife,
but yourself as well because it's healthy.
I just want you to keep this in mind.
The woman you love the most hates the smell of smoke.
She hates it. She said she can't stand it.
I'll make sure to quit before the baby's born.
- What if you can't? - What if you can't?
What would you do?
I won't break this promise.
- What if you can't? - You said that before.
You're not reliable.
You broke your promise so many times before.
You should just say...
that you can't do it.
Don't just say you will do it...
to avoid this moment like you did before.
You're not only making a promise to your wife,
- but everyone... - Everyone's watching.
- Right. The audience is watching. - The nation's watching.
The whole nation's a witness.
What do old people say when they see you smoking?
They'd say, "That jerk."
- "Look at him." - That's embarrassing.
Just don't make a promise.
You know that you can't keep it, right?
Since my wife hates it so much,
I'll try to quit.
I'll try my best to quit before the baby's born.
What if you can't keep your promise?
(What if he can't keep his promise?)
Then I'd be a jerk.
It's not like I have to do something for her even if I can't keep it.
I'll try my best.
- It sounds weird. - Something's not right.
He's not reliable.
How about a reward if he quits?
There are withdrawal symptoms if you quit smoking,
- so you eat a lot of snacks. - Right.
If he needs money for it, I'm willing to give him more money.
- A raise. - She'll give you a raise.
I get 300 dollars a month.
It'd be 400 dollars with a raise. That's not a big difference.
He's not willing to quit.
Do you want more?
How much do you want?
I don't need a raise.
- I just want her to trust me. - You don't want her to complain.
I know she doesn't trust me because I lied a lot.
She has no faith in you.
Can we visit you after the baby's born?
The baby will be born in two months.
She said it only counts if I quit for six months.
Stop giving me excuses.
- Quitting is quitting. - Just quit it.
- I don't think he can do it. - You have so many excuses.
- He talks a lot. - Just say it now.
Just say something like you'll reduce it.
People who quit told me...
- Stop giving me excuses. - Stop it please.
He doesn't want to quit.
You've heard stories from people who quit.
He quit, and I quit.
I quit too.
Quitting from smoking is really healthy.
It seriously changes your life.
It's good. You have to quit at once.
- You shouldn't reduce it. - He's right.
Now please say something to your husband...
about what you're going to do.
I think he was stressed...
when I said mean things to him.
- I'll try to trust him. - Right.
Don't make it sound like a complaint.
You should compliment him when he really tries.
Go ahead now, Ji Ho.
- Ji Ho. - I think it's a worry.
I hope you quit smoking when the baby's born,
and I hope you smell nice to your baby.
He smokes too, but it's a worry.
In A.
I'd vote that it's a worry for your family.
Okay. Sul Gi.
It's definitely a worry.
Nothing can justify smoking.
I think it's a worry too.
(Ji Han thinks it's a worry.)
- I know how hard it is. - Right.
But your wife and baby are the most important.
I hope you protect them.
- Good luck. - Everyone's saying the same thing.
It's important for you to keep your promise.
- Right. - Right.
Please vote if you think it's a worry.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, - 5, 4, 3,
- 2, 1. - It keeps going.
- It's over. - Stop please.
Make a promise for the last time.
Honey. I've been lying that I'll quit.
Since I said it on TV,
I will try my best to quit smoking...
before our baby comes out.
And I always love you.
(I love you.)
Ma'am.
Is it more fun at an event hall or here?
- It's fun here too. - Is it?
Ma'am, do you think he should quit smoking or not?
- He should quit smoking. - Right?
Give her the microphone please.
Ma'am, please say a word to him.
- She'll say it. - I think so too.
I really hate the smell of cigarettes.
It would be great if you quit smoking.
For your child's sake too.
Are you going to quit going to event halls or not?
- I will quit it. - Great!
Please show us how many votes she got.
