- National Competition on Worries! - National Competition on Worries!
Let me introduce our today's guests.
- They're the oldest idol group. - The oldest idol group.
Eun Hyuk, Shin Dong, Ye Sung, and Dong Hae of Super Junior!
- 1, 2, 3. Hi. We're Super Junior. - Hi. We're Super Junior.
- We are Super Junior. - Super Junior.
They're back after so long.
- I like how they greet. - Me too.
It's been over 10 years since your debut, right?
- It's been 13 years. - 13 years.
Are there times when you realize that you have aged...
and feel different?
Some of my group members including Hee Chul and Ye Sung...
used to be very short-tempered.
Lately, they get teary so easily.
- I see. - Ye Sung does?
He's aging.
- That means he's aged. - He cries so easily.
During a meeting, he said, "Let's do our best. This time, I..."
(He choked.)
"I really..."
- That's right. - He choked.
He got so emotional and started crying.
- Not long ago, Hee Chul also cried. - I know.
He got into a serious car accident in the past,
- so he got a metal pin in his leg. - I didn't know that.
Thinking that he might be a nuisance to his group members,
he cried his heart out.
In fact, we don't expect him to dance well on stage.
- That's right. - We don't expect much,
but he seems to expect a lot from himself.
That only makes us more uncomfortable.
We didn't have a high expectation for him.
Since we're talking about it,
which member became the most handsome compared to 13 years ago?
- I think it's Eun Hyuk. - I see.
- Gosh. - He became the most handsome.
- What do you think, Eun Hyuk? - Me?
- Ye Sung. - Ye Sung.
I think it's me.
- Why? - It's because...
To be honest, all of us except for Dong Hae were considered ugly.
- No way. - What are you talking about?
(Everyone disagrees with him.)
- That's ridiculous. - My goodness.
- I wasn't. - He was the only one.
I haven't even said a word yet.
If you think of our positions when we stand together,
they're still on the sides while I'm closer to the center.
Should I say it?
I can't believe him. Can I say this?
No one told him to stand in the center,
but he insisted on standing in the center.
- It's a different story. - It's more like...
squeezing in between them.
However, I never stand right in the center.
The reason why we asked who became the most handsome is...
Shin Dong suggested an idea in the interview with our writer.
We'll show you really old photos of them.
- We'll take a look at their photos, - Oh, no.
- Why... - and the audience members will...
tell us which of them became...
- the most handsome. - That sounds good.
Let's take a vote.
It's neither a good thing nor a bad thing.
That's right.
(Ye Sung used to have plump cheeks.)
Ye Sung.
- Look at Shin Dong's photo. - Is that really Shin Dong?
(Look at Shin Dong's photo.)
He chose a very nice photo.
I didn't choose the photo. This is the album cover of our first album.
Both of them look so cute.
- They look so cute. - He lost a lot of weight.
Ye Sung had baby fat on his face too.
(Shocked)
Dong Hae looked so pretty.
(Dong Hae was as handsome as he is now.)
Look at Eun Hyuk's photo.
- Eun Hyuk changed a lot. - Only his photo is nice.
- It's not fair. - Eun Hyuk looks like...
a weird woman in that photo.
- I changed my mind. - He looks like a Japanese woman.
I think Eun Hyuk became the most handsome.
- He looks like a Japanese girl. - That's right.
- Hold on. It's because... - A Japanese girl.
my photo is next to Dong Hae's.
I'm sorry to her for saying this, but doesn't Eun Hyuk look like...
- Choi Yeo Jin? - Exactly.
- That's right. - He looks a little bit like her.
What do you think?
Which one do you think became more handsome? Ye Sung or Eun Hyuk?
Raise your hand if you think Ye Sung became more handsome.
(A few raise their hands.)
- Ye Sung. - Ye Sung.
- Eun Hyuk... - What about Eun Hyuk?
(Eun Hyuk became more handsome.)
(It's almost unanimous.)
(Eun Hyuk is knocked out.)
It's almost unanimous.
Are you serious? Really?
- That photo influenced their votes. - Exactly.
We have three stories as always.
Show us the keywords please.
Here are the three keywords.
"The Man Who Bets His Life", "My Turbulent Life",
and "Just Let Me Love".
We heard a few similar stories. It's "The Man Who Bets His Life".
Hello. I'm here to save my friend's life.
Please help my friend.
He doesn't even budge sitting in the same place.
He doesn't take a shower or eat.
There's one thing he does in this condition.
It's playing online games.
My friend stays in an internet cafe all the time.
He bet his life on online games.
"Hey. Go home already, will you?"
"Okay."
Three days later, I saw him sitting there in the same clothes.
"Gosh. You stink. Take a shower."
"Okay."
(He can't hear anything else.)
It's been 10 years since he became addicted to video games.
"Stand up. Let's get out of here now."
"Wait a moment. My back hurts, and I feel dizzy."
He's 191cm tall, but he weighs only 59kg.
(He's 191cm tall, but he weighs only 59kg.)
- 59kg? - 191cm and 59kg?
"Have you eaten anything today?"
"I ate yesterday."
- "What about today?" - "I haven't eaten anything."
"I can hold out a little longer."
I think he might fall ill. Please help my friend.
It's a serious problem. It's bad for health.
Have you ever been addicted to video games?
Actually, I like playing video games very much.
When I was a child, I dreamed of owning an arcade.
However, internet cafes are more popular these days,
so I opened an internet cafe instead.
But you didn't lose weight.
There are a lot of food to eat at an internet cafe.
That's true. You ate a lot while playing video games.
Eun Hyuk, you don't eat a lot.
Don't you weigh the same as you did when you made your debut?
I gained a little weight. I weigh between 60kg and 61kg.
- You gained weight? - How tall are you?
I'm 174cm tall.
- 174cm and 61kg. - That's nice.
- He looks thin. 191cm and 59kg... - 59kg.
- He's too skinny. - He's very skinny.
Shin Dong, when did you weigh 51kg?
51kg?
(When did I ever...)
Were you in elementary school?
- I was in fourth grade. - Exactly.
What about you, Yeong Ja?
(She's upset.)
- I'm sorry. - They can understand each other.
Let's meet our guest.
Please come out.
(Who is worried about his friend with video game addiction?)
(Han Kyung In)
He looks great.
Please introduce yourself.
I'm Han Kyung in. I'm 26 and live in Cheonan.
(Welcome.)
Is it true that your friend is 191cm and weighs 59kg?
Yes. He's severely underweight.
He's underweight.
He looks pale since he doesn't get enough sunlight.
He's also very thin, so he looks weak.
Does he have any health problems?
It's not that he's been diagnosed with a particular disease,
but he says he's not feeling well all the time.
He always says his back hurts, his hands are shaking,
and he feels dizzy. He sometimes staggers...
while walking on the street due to dizziness.
That's because he doesn't get enough sleep.
How long does he stay in an internet cafe?
He practically lives in there.
I've known him since middle school. He got addicted in eighth grade...
- and started skipping classes. - He skipped his classes?
Yes. He ditched school to play a video game.
And he has been doing that until now.
(It's surprising.)
He's not working in the game industry, does he?
I would understand him if his work is related to it.
It's not even related to his job?
It has nothing to do with his job. He's a student.
- He's a college student. - Oh, he's a college student.
- He ended up on academic probation. - I'm surprised he entered college.
Does he play games in an internet cafe without going home?
He stays there for 24 hours at least.
He plays video games there for up to 3 or 4 days in a row.
- Without sleeping? - That's right.
He doesn't eat well either.
- He eats ramyeon or snacks. - Of course.
He eats only when he feels like he can't go on without eating.
- That's why he's so light. - He didn't realize he was hungry.
If he plays video games that long, I'm sure that...
you have seen him again...
two days after you played a game with him.
- That's right. - I think it has happened before.
We once went to an internet cafe together in the morning.
I went home first. When I went back there three days later,
he was still sitting in the same seat.
- In the same seat? - Yes.
- He didn't even change the seat. - He let trash pile up around him.
Does he not say that he's sleepy?
He dozes off while playing a video game.
- Of course. - Does he sleep in there too?
If I wake him up and tell him to go home to sleep,
he says he's okay and continues playing the game.
When he's too tired, he takes a catnap in his seat.
Have you ever tried to stop him in a more active way?
"Stop it!"
I have. I've tried to stop him,
but he didn't listen to me. He played games secretly.
He came here, right?
I thought he might not come here,
I made him sleep over at my friend's house.
- To bring him here? - At your friend's house?
I saw him getting on the bus, and my friend in Seoul picked him up,
took him to his place, and kept him in there.
He kept your friend in his place.
- He kept him in his house. - Well,
let's meet his friend and hear him out.
Hello.
Could you stand up for us?
- He's tall. - Please turn around.
- Turn around? - He's so skinny.
- He's wearing loose clothes. - That's right.
Please pull your shirt tighter, so we can see how thin you are.
- He's not as skinny as I thought. - He's so skinny.
(He kept his figure by playing video games.)
He looks like Eun Hyuk and Lee Kwang Soo.
(A combination of Eun Hyuk and Lee Kwang Soo)
Kyung In said that you're addicted to video games. What do you think?
Do you admit it?
I believe it's wrong to call people who play video games...
- addicted. - Why?
For example, if a student stays up all night for three days...
to study, his parents would say,
"My loving son studies so hard."
If an office worker stays up all night for three days at work,
people would say that he's hard working.
So when I stay up all night for three days playing video games,
I think people should call me enthusiastic about it...
instead of "addicted".
"He played a video game so hard." Like this?
I believe that's how people must think of it.
You must want to get praised.
I deserve recognition for my effort.
Only if it's related to your job.
It's understandable only if you're a professional gamer.
I think I have classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
- I only play video games... - You think?
He's not sure.
- I play games when I have no class. - It's November.
Once I start playing a video game,
I don't stop...
until I complete the game.
What's the longest period of time you stayed in an internet cafe?
Before I enlisted in the military,
I used to play video games for 1 or 2 months.
- 1 or 2 months? - You didn't go home?
That's right. I stayed at an internet cafe.
Where did you take a shower and sleep?
I didn't wash myself before, but the owner of the internet cafe...
- He complained you smelled bad. - put a toothbrush...
- Did he give you? - in the washroom for me.
You were like his family.
What about clothes? How did you change your clothes?
I wore a uniform.
What about underwear?
As for underwear...
(He answers with his eyes.)
But that was before I enlisted in the military.
Now, I have to take care of my health,
so I can't play video games longer than three days.
Three days?
That sounds so dirty.
What worries Kyung In is...
- your health. You feel dizzy... - Exactly.
How is your health condition now?
Since I eat my meals in the internet cafe,
I have enteritis. They only sell ramyeon and frozen food...
such as sweet and sour chicken.
Also, I have back problems since I sit down for a long time.
I also have hand tremor.
How do you play games with hand tremor?
I feel fine once I start playing a game.
My gosh.
I'm sure a lot of people here can relate to this.
Once I start playing a game, I feel better than ever.
I can concentrate well too.
As Eun Hyuk must know, there are carb supplements...
for thin people, so they can consume carbs...
- without eating food. - Supplements?
If I take it, I don't lose weight and don't have to eat food.
Does it make you feel full?
It helps to reduce feelings of hunger.
So I don't have to eat food.
- I take the supplements... - I've never heard of it.
- Have you heard of the supplement? - No.
Are you recommending that to me?
So how is your health condition?
Now, I weigh about 63kg thanks to the supplement.
- I have no serious health issues. - Carbs supplement.
Anyway, I wonder how he looked when he was thinner.
- Let's take a look. - Since I took the supplements...
My gosh.
- Oh, no. - Is that real?
(He's so skinny that his bones show.)
Is that real?
- That's unbelievable. - He's too skinny.
It's just that he's wearing a loose shirt.
- If he takes off his shirt, - Without his shirt...
he would look like that.
Did you weigh 59kg? Or were you lighter than that?
When I took that photo, I weighed 57kg.
(He weighed only 57kg.)
He looks like a refugee with sunglasses on.
Exactly.
(He looks pitiful.)
- You have long hair in that photo. - Yes.
Is it that you didn't have time to have a new haircut?
I believe that keeping your hair neat is...
a necessary courtesy when you meet other people in person.
You don't meet other people in person?
I only meet other people online.
They can only hear my voice.
That's right. He just has to buy his character's hair.
(He's a fashion leader in the game.)
When you look at that photo,
don't you worry about yourself?
I started taking supplements because I was worried.
His confidence annoys me.
(He's annoyingly confident.)
I'm curious about something.
How do your parents think about this?
Right.
(Hesitating)
My parents don't know that I'm on this show.
Since my school is too far from my house,
I'm living in the dormitory.
My parents don't know about this.
If you're so confident, why didn't you tell your parents?
The reason I didn't tell them is...
I wanted to become a pro gamer when I was younger,
- but my parents... - Did they disapprove of it?
disapproved of it.
What is your dream now?
A little bit like a freelancer...
- What does that even mean? - "A little bit like a freelancer".
- It feels like a freelancer? - What does that mean?
- "Am I a freelancer?" - Just a little bit.
A little bit like a freelancer.
You can work as a freelancer in many fields.
What kind of job do you mean?
I want to earn money when I want to,
so I can spend the money when I want to play video games.
I mean, how are you going to earn money?
If you don't work, you're jobless, not a freelancer.
(It looks like he doesn't have any specific plan.)
Can't you just leave him be?
I have a question.
Are you worried about him because he has been...
- seriously ill before? - Besides, he's so confident.
That's right. He's so confident. I think...
He also has a dream of becoming a little bit like a freelancer.
I'm sorry, but please let him answer the question.
It's because he's my friend, and he doesn't have any friends...
except for me.
You want him to meet friends offline, right?
How is his financial status?
Where does he get all the money?
He drinks a lot of coffee...
- and other drinks. - He eats snacks.
He has a lot of drinks.
Including the cost of snacks, he spends...
between 40 and 50 dollars at an internet cafe.
- Between 40 and 50 dollars per day. - Per day.
I spent about 80 dollars maybe because I ate a lot.
It sounds like you go to an internet cafe to eat.
He spent more money on food than the internet cafe fee.
He goes to his regular internet cafe, right?
Yes. And he spent the most among all the customers.
There are customers like him.
I was ranked 2nd while he was ranked 1st.
- You were ranked 2nd? - You were ranked 2nd?
We can check...
(That's why we're friends.)
- the amount of money... - They're in the top two.
- that we spent there. - I see.
They tell us the amount.
How much you spent for the past eight years?
I asked how much he spent. He spent 80,000 dollars.
(He spent 80,000 dollars.)
- He spent 10,000 dollars per year. - He spent 10,000 dollars per year.
- It would be better... - He spent 10,000 dollars per year.
- if you open a small internet cafe. - Right.
Rather than playing games at home...
- 80,000 dollars are a lot of money. - People prefer an internet cafe.
- Where did such a young man get it? - Where did he get that much money?
Did you ask your parents for money?
All men feel a little depressed before enlisting in the military.
- That's true. - I thought I wouldn't be able to...
finish my degree properly at that rate.
I was supposed to enroll in my last semester, but...
- My parents gave me... - You used your tuition.
I spent the money they gave to me at the internet cafe.
- I'm sorry, - He spent a fortune on video games.
but when men feel depressed before enlisting in the military,
- they usually drink with friends... - That's right.
or go on a trip with their girlfriend.
My only interest back then was video games.
I don't think I wasted that money.
There's a saying that you must lavish money for learning something.
How is learning to play video games going to be helpful?
- That's not what the money was for. - You're not a pro gamer.
It's true that I'm not a pro gamer,
but online games have their own standards...
like a society in real life.
And I'm in an important position in a game I play.
It's called an order.
- You're the order? - It's a position.
Just because middle and high school students study the same subjects,
that doesn't mean all of them develop an academic career.
- That's true. - You're right about that.
Even if I don't become...
a pro gamer,
there are things I learn from that experience.
- People in my dad's generation... - He's quite persuasive.
tend to consider video games...
as a form of entertainment. They hold negative views.
Let's hear him out. What did you just say?
That's all garbage. He always...
- say such things like that. - I see.
We're all being convinced by the garbage.
- It sounded convincing. - We should keep ourselves together.
It's because...
- He sounded so sure. - it seemed that...
he has his own point of view.
(He has a leader's confidence that he built while playing games.)
He has never studied in his life.
He talked as if he learned anything at school.
In fact, he's never studied in his life.
All he did was play video games.
I'm confident...
because I've been paying back my student loan.
(I'm living my life to the fullest.)
- How do you pay that? - I'm majoring in music.
I play jazz trombone.
I give private lessons and play gigs.
- I came from another area. - Oh, he's earning money.
So are you planning to become a freelance trombonist?
- Then he'll be okay. - I'm earning money with it.
- You spent 80,000 dollars. - Yes.
How much of it did you earn yourself?
And how much did your parents gave to you?
- Is it half and half? - Since I'm still going to school,
my parents have been...
financially supporting me until now.
- So you can study. - That's right.
- But all he do is play video games. - You said all he said was garbage.
You must've thought he has a serious problem...
seeing that you sent us your story.
- That's right. - What worries you the most?
He can't refrain himself.
When he has an urge to play a video game,
he goes to an internet cafe by any means.
We once worked a part time job together.
We worked with other people at a factory...
assigned different tasks involving conveyor belts.
While working there, I saw that my friend wasn't in his place.
- That's not acceptable. - He disappeared.
The whole factory stopped working because of him.
- While working at the factory? - Yes.
I got fired from the factory. When I went to the internet cafe,
- I saw him there. - He was there?
I saw him there playing a video game.
He just left like that?
I asked why he left without telling me.
I got angry at him because he put me in an awkward position.
He said that he was supposed to play a game with some people,
and he forgot about that.
So he kept the promise he made to them,
but he didn't finish his work?
- This is not... - Why did you do that?
It was wrong of me to do that, and I admit it.
- I was too young... - He's such a smooth talker.
- Since he admitted it so quickly... - I don't know what to say to that.
- He's too confident. - Everyone makes a mistake.
I was too young back then, and I don't behanve like that anymore.
He always speaks with confidence like that, so listening to him,
I became convinced by him.
- He's good with words. - He's persuasive.
He asked me to go on a trip with him to celebrate my birthday.
At first, I didn't believe him because he breaks promises often,
but he said he wouldn't do it. On the day of the trip,
- I couldn't get a hold of him. - Where did you plan to go?
- Jeju Island. - Jeju Island?
Two other friends joined us.
We decided to meet up at the airport in Jeju Island.
Everyone else arrived, but Jun Young didn't come.
He said he missed his flight while playing a video game.
- So did he not go there? - Did he even meet you there?
He came eventually.
However, we waited for him for 3 hours on the 1st day,
so everyone was upset.
It was your birthday. You were supposed to happy.
Everyone was upset, and it was awkward.
He said he had to go to an internet cafe.
- In Jeju Island? - Oh, my.
Once, he had a performance in New York.
- A performance in New York? - That sounds nice.
In New York too?
He found an internet cafe there too.
- There must be a few places. - Yes.
To be honest, if I meet up with friends and chat for an hour,
that's enough for me.
I prefer online friends...
because they have similar interests to mine.
My offline friends don't.
Our conversation doesn't flow.
- Then... - Then why did you go on a trip?
- Why did you go to Jeju Island? - It was your idea.
Didn't you feel bad about it?
I sincerely apologized.
What?
- My goodness. - This shouldn't air.
Is this a hearing?
- I dated a girl for a long time. - You?
Yes. But we broke up.
All my other friends were in the army back then.
- You wanted to be comforted. - Yes. We went to have a drink.
I had to drag him out of an internet cafe.
And we went for a drink.
Soon after our food was served, he disappeared.
Again?
I was worried if he got in a fight,
so I looked for him.
I found him at an internet cafe.
He told me to wait until he was finished playing.
He had to give orders.
Have you ever had a girlfriend?
- Yes, I have. - Was she an avatar?
No. She was a human.
Did she think you were her boyfriend too?
Yes, of course.
The thing is, I couldn't relate to him.
I couldn't understand...
why he was having a hard time after the breakup.
- My friend... - I think I know.
He doesn't seem to have emotions.
He's obsessed with the online world.
Games are more important than girls to you, right?
That's why I broke up with my ex-girlfriends.
After a breakup, didn't you feel...
- sad, lonely, or regretful? - Didn't you feel those emotions?
Didn't you feel that way?
It just felt like I had more time on my hands.
- After a breakup? - It was better?
I had more free time.
Also, I told my friend...
to cheer up. I told him he could meet another girl.
I offered him a solution.
- But my friend... - You thought you were done?
didn't seem to accept it. He kept saying he was sad.
So I offered him a solution. I told him to find another girl.
- But he just said he was sad. - Look.
How could a person...
put aside his or her feelings so easily?
A human being couldn't do that.
"Find another girl." "Okay."
It doesn't work that way.
- You need to be comforted. - What his friend needed...
- wasn't a solution. - Of course not.
- He just wanted company. - He needed someone to talk to.
- He wanted to talk to him. - I don't even drink.
I had to spend 30 to 40 dollars for the drinks,
and I lost 4 to 5 hours of time.
(Disappointed)
One thing is very sad.
(Based on the conversation...)
Your friend doesn't find the situation problematic at all.
He's perfectly fine.
- It's only you that is sad. - Right.
When you try to help him,
he thinks he's being interrupted.
It's only you that's trying to be thoughtful.
- I think you'll only be used. - Exactly.
Your eyes look so frustrated.
I think you've been used. Don't you think so?
- This is not okay. - Exactly.
Imagine the situation doesn't change.
- I think it won't. - If this keeps repeating,
- I think we'll drift apart. - I think so too.
To me, it seems like the two have...
different standards...
- They do. - for friends.
- So... - They're very different.
His friend thinks, "We can be friends..."
"even if I do just this much."
But this guy wants to be able to share more with his friend.
- He is... - He seems to be...
so shocked at what his friend said.
You didn't know he was thinking that way?
The things he says are a bit shocking.
Are you getting angry?
- Me? - With your friend?
- Are you disappointed? - I don't know what to do.
- I see. - You're shocked.
(He doesn't seem to appreciate my concerns.)
You like to be alone, and you can take care of yourself.
But let's say an emergency comes up.
If you ask your online friends for help,
do you think they'll come to your rescue?
I believe they will.
Has there ever been a situation like that?
I've been to some funerals.
- My online friends' family's... - You have?
- We go to each other's events. - You do that?
I've been to weddings too.
He says he goes to his online friends' events.
Does he come to your events?
I've known him for such a long time.
He knows my elder brother too.
He promised to come to his wedding,
but he missed it because he was playing games.
He missed your brother's wedding?
I went to an internet cafe wearing a suit.
I swear.
- Seriously. - He tried.
- He's unbelievable. - Still...
- And? - I thought...
my friends would pick me up at the internet cafe.
I was playing games wearing a suit, and my friends came.
I thought we were leaving, but the wedding had already been over.
- You must have lost track of time. - Yes.
Your friend says he's paying back his loans,
and he's not ashamed of what he's doing.
I'd love to hear you play the trombone.
- I'm curious. - RIght?
- I want to see how good he is. - Can you play for us?
Yes. I have my trombone here.
- Please come onto the stage. - What if he's good?
- That'll be a surprise. - He's very tall.
There are not many players?
- This instrument is... - Is it too expensive?
Valve trombones are...
very rare.
What are you going to play?
- I'll play "Autumn Leaves". - It's a good song.
It's a good one.
(Are his trombone skills...)
(as good as his gaming skills?)
(The melody sounds familiar.)
(Let's enjoy.)
(Focused)
(He breathes in an unstable way.)
(Something is not right.)
(Unimpressed)
(Did you really perform in New York?)
(They can't help but laugh for some reason.)
Why is everyone laughing?
Thank you.
- Excuse me. - I'm a bit nervous.
- Are we all thinking the same? - Yes.
- Can you play something fast? - Something fast?
Please play your best one.
("Feels So Good" played by an obsessive gamer)
(The sound cracks.)
(It cracks again.)
(He makes mistakes.)
(I'm sorry.)
I can't do any better.
Thank you.
(Thank you.)
What did you think?
It was better than I had expected. I thought he was good for nothing.
Let's meet his other friends.
Hello.
- Hello. - Please speak into the microphone.
Hello, I'm Seo Hyun Woong. I'm 26.
I'm Byun Seung Gyun. I'm 26 too.
- Nice to meet you. - How long have you been friends?
We met in eighth grade.
- All of you? - Yes.
- Do you understand his concerns? - Did you go to Jeju Island too?
Yes. I came here mostly to see this friend.
He's always playing games.
It's impossible to reach him or meet him.
I haven't seen him in two years.
- Two years? - Yes.
How does it feel?
- It's awkward. - It's as long as military service.
- It's awkward? - Yes.
- What about you? - I haven't seen him in six years.
- Six years? - Yes.
You're not friends anymore then.
We're a group of friends.
But the two of us had a fight.
While playing games, when I died,
he stood up and called me names.
He humiliated me in front of other friends.
I got upset and left.
He didn't even look and me.
When he loses a game,
he can't control his anger. He smashes his keyboard.
He stands up and screams even if there are other people.
Sometimes he gets in a fight...
- and goes to meet them. - In real life?
- Yes. - In real life?
- He even goes to meet them. - At 26?
I don't get angry just because I lose a game.
I get angry when people don't follow my orders.
Why would they play with me if they don't want to follow my orders?
I don't know anything about games,
but I think I know.
I know why he's so obsessed.
He's a leader in the game.
He has people who follow his orders. He can lead his team to victory.
But in real life, he's not a leader.
He wants to be a leader.
He wants people to listen to him.
But his old friends...
don't treat him that way. It hurts and bores him.
I can understand why he does this.
Are you okay with...
meeting your friends only once in a while?
I think we're friends...
as long as it's not awkward when we meet.
If someone thinks games are just an entertainment,
I can't get along with that person.
Do you want your friends to just leave you alone?
Yes. I don't care about...
them meeting girls.
Our interests are different.
People who don't play games wouldn't understand him.
I can't understand him at all.
How do you feel now?
- That's not how you should live. - Right.
He talked about his definition of friends.
In my opinion, friends should guide each other.
- Guide each other? - You look out for each other.
Aren't you grateful that your friend is concerned about you, right?
I'm not sure if I'm exactly grateful.
- I get what he is concerned about. - You get that.
- However, I can take care... - You can take care of yourself.
of myself.
Are you concerned about him in any way?
Am I concerned about him in any way?
- Not really. - He doesn't care about Kyung In.
He isn't concerned.
They define a friend differently.
(They are very different.)
This is what I want to say.
When you date women,
some have to see you every day...
while the others hate it if you call too often.
Everyone is different.
Friends are the same.
Not all friends have to stick together...
and become one.
You may think that's the only way in early and mid 20s,
- but when time passes, - That's right.
you will see that everyone needs a personal space.
Friends who are similar will stick together.
You should understand that.
My heart breaks...
because we live the world...
by loving and being concerned...
about each other.
You said it's not necessary because you prefer meeting...
- new friends online. -Yes.
You don't care about the history...
or love you built.
You may not care about friends when you are happy,
but friends help you when you are sad.
Giving care and love to your friends...
is the charm of life.
It makes my heart ache that you don't know that.
(Even if he continues playing games, he should know the charm of life.)
What would you like to say to him?
Jun Young, please play games six hours a day.
Six hours a day?
He is like a parent.
- Please play games in a way... - That's long even by my standard.
that doesn't harm your daily life.
All right.
Let's start with Eun Hyuk. Is it a worry or not?
To be honest, I don't think it's a worry.
Like I said before,
the two friends' standards and expectations...
are different.
Like Dong Yeob said,
they will better understand each other after some time.
- Shin Dong. - I do think it's a worry,
but Kyung In should stop worrying about his friend.
Ye Sung.
They have different points of view.
That's why I won't say it's a worry.
Dong Hae.
- I don't think... - You don't think it's a worry.
it's a worry.
After some time, you will realize...
that a friend like Kyung In is hard to come by.
Celebrities tend to be...
- very stubborn. - That's right.
We achieved success...
thanks to our persistent streak.
That's probably why we understand Kyung In.
However,
like we said before, friends you make online don't last.
You bump into each other, share feelings,
fight, hurt, and get hurt.
These friends last.
You are at the age to meet friends...
with whom you can share your heart.
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. - Say a few words to Kyung In.
Kyung In, thank you for your concern.
Let's try to better understand each other as we live.
- He wants you to play game less. - Six hours a day.
Well,
I will give it a try.
I hope it will be an opportunity to turn over new leaf.
I wonder how many votes the story got. Show us the result.
(The result)
(The Man Who Bets His Life)
- The last digit is 6. - Did it get over 100 votes?
It probably didn't get over 100 votes.
60 votes.
56 votes.
(56 votes)
Thank you.
"Just Let Me Love".
Hello, I am a hot-blooded man in my 20s.
For 13 years of my life,
I have cherished an unchanging love.
However, people always nag at me about it.
"Who do you like? Are you out of your mind?"
"You are a lunatic."
"Get a hold of yourself."
My love I have cherished for 13 years of my life is...
Super Junior.
(My goodness.)
It's a man, right?
- This man likes Super Junior. - A man in his 20s?
- My goodness. - You know,
everyone looked at the man in the designated seat.
- Is that him? - Since the worry is about himself,
he will be out shortly.
That man went,
"It's not me."
(He hates the idea.)
- He hated being falsely accused. - Don't hate us so much.
This is how he talks to his friends.
"Did you see Super Junior's new album?"
"The look in their eyes made my heart flutter."
"Their amazing dance made me want to break the earth."
"Break the earth"?
- What? - "Break the earth"?
- "Break the earth"? - "I don't want to hear it!"
"Stop using such expression, you lunatic."
My friends even say this.
"Could he be gay?"
I don't know why my love as a fan needs to be misunderstood.
I want to talk about my worry with confidence...
on Hello today.
- You must be happy. - I am happy and proud.
To know that we have many male fans...
- You must be happy. - It's just him.
- You don't have many male fans. - I see.
Let's meet the man who sent us the worry.
You should welcome him.
He will faint.
He will faint when he sees the four members of Super Junior.
- Maybe he will faint. - Please come on out.
(Who has loved Super Junior for 13 years?)
He will faint.
(Faltering)
He is faltering.
Today is his lucky day.
(He grabs Eun Hyuk's hand.)
Why didn't he grab Dong Hae or Shin Dong's hand?
My goodness.
Hello, I am a 26-year-old, Song Jin Seok.
Look to your left.
(He looks to his left.)
(His heart flutters.)
My goodness.
(What?)
- My goodness. - Eun Hyuk.
I think he laughed because Eun Hyuk looks funny.
Is that what it is?
Ever since Super Junior debuted 13 years ago,
he has liked the group.
How does it feel to see them up close?
Take a look at them.
Shin Dong, Ye Sung, Dong Hae.
Take a look at Dong Hae.
Ye Sung.
He didn't look at me once.
His hands are shaking.
His gaze stops here.
He doesn't even look in this direction.
Really?
(Calm down, my heart.)
What does it mean to break the earth?
You use the expression...
when you like something so much that you want to break the earth.
You like something so much that you want to break the earth.
If you break the earth, where will we live?
Seriously.
It sounds like the lyrics of our song.
Blinding, blinding, blinding
- I don't think it does. - No?
He is firm.
(He isn't Ye Sung's fan.)
- He isn't Ye Sung's fan. - No.
Perhaps you aren't a die-hard fan.
Perhaps you make up a worry...
upon learning that Super Junior will be the guest.
It's nothing of the sorts.
People don't understand why I like a boy group...
when there are so many different girl groups.
They ask me why I live that way.
What were the most harsh words you heard?
"Why do you live like that?"
People say it's disgusting.
What have you done...
that made people go, "This is excessive"?
- When I go to a concert... - Have you gone to a concert?
- I go to all concerts. - You go to all concerts.
- You go to all concerts. - The 10th anniversary concert.
There was a relay concert.
You even went to a relay concert.
Only the devoted fans know about it.
- We only had it once. - Still, he went.
I went because it was the last concert.
When I go to a concert,
there are times I call them "Oppa".
What?
- It's an older brother for women. - Do you call them "Oppa"?
I sometimes do.
Please don't misunderstand.
If I call them "Hyung", an older brother for men,
people stare.
- People stare. - I am worried about that.
When you are at a concert, "Oppa" is easier to shout.
"Hyung! Hyung! Hyung! Hyung!"
That sounds strange.
It's stranger for a man to use the term, "Oppa".
- I mean... - When other fans call "Oppa",
insert "Hyung" on between.
"Oppa! Hyung! Oppa! Hyung!"
There are ups and downs.
- There is a rhythm. - That's right.
There must be...
- a girl group you like. - He must like girl groups too.
Not at all.
It's not that I don't like them. I am simply not interested.
That's right.
What did you fall for when you laid eyes on Super Junior?
They debuted on "Inkigayo".
- Is that right? - Yes.
- Really? - That's incredible.
They left a strong impression.
There were other albums of the same genre,
but SMP...
- left a strong impression. - They are surprised.
They seem to know what that means. We didn't understand.
- What's SMP? - SMP...
stands for S.M. Entertainment's performance.
- It's a genre our agency made. - I see.
They are songs with strong performances.
Even we don't talk about it...
- because it's embarrassing. - That's right.
SMP.
He knows everything about Super Junior.
Which member caught your eyes?
- Which member do you like the best? - Your favorite member.
- Has it changed? - Your favorite member.
It has changed, but my current favorite member...
is right next to me.
- Eun Hyuk is your favorite. - Yes.
Eun Hyuk is your favorite.
Eun Hyuk is the member he likes the most.
That's right.
Which member was your favorite back in the days?
- It was Hee Chul at first. - Hee Chul.
It's impossible to like Eun Hyuk from the first album.
(The looks that are impossible to like)
- That's right. - I acknowledge that.
I acknowledge that.
How did you come to like Eun Hyuk?
My reason is a bit unusual. Since he smiles a lot,
- his teeth stand out. - His teeth?
- His teeth? - His teeth stand out.
When Eun Hyuk smiles, his gum shows more.
They are his favorite teeth.
- He has pearly white teeth. - His favorite teeth.
His friend who saw it next to him.
He was mistaken that he was like, no.
Hello.
Hello. I'm his friend from high school, Kang Min Soo.
(Nice to meet you.)
What do you think about your friend loving Super Junior?
Men often like female idols.
In case of him, his phone was...
all about Super Juniors in high school.
We used to listen to mp3 player at the time.
All his playlists were Super Junior.
He collected all the albums and bought several for an event entry.
He would stay up all night...
- Of course. - and line up for live audience.
He's doing all that for male idols.
I think it's pretty serious.
- Most people agree with him. - Right.
Let's talk to another friend.
What surprised him the most was...
I went to his house once.
He has so many posters.
- Oh, it's real. - Yes.
- It should be on the wall. - It's on the wall too.
Starting with the wallpaper on his computer, calendar,
it's all Super Junior, and he has many photos too.
- That's the picture of his room. - It's his...
- It's an autographed poster. - The autographs are cool.
(He has a box full of albums.)
He has all the albums.
(A proof the he went to the concert)
You have everything.
- That's not all. - It's only a tiny part...
- of what he has. - Oh, just a part.
How much more do you have?
- About 6 times more. - 6 times.
- 6 times. - He's very feminine.
He'd cover his mouth when he laughs.
He's be like, "Oh, my. Why would you do that? I didn't."
- He talks like this. - The way he talks.
He not only loves them,
but he also talks like that.
I sometimes doubt if he really is a man.
Are you...
- really interested in... - That's not true.
I had a girlfriend before.
Of course, they want to break up because...
I have no time to meet them going to the concerts.
They don't want to fight men.
- Right? - Yes.
What do you not understand among what he does?
If he hears Super Junior songs while walking,
he even dances with a chant.
It's pretty embarrassing.
- On the street? - Yes He dances on the street.
I'm sorry we made the songs too exciting.
We made you dance.
Do you really sing along and dance on the street when you hear it?
I do it without realizing,
so it's not that bad,
- It's not that bad? - but they see it often...
that they think it's a worry.
Since Super Junior's here, why don't you try dancing with them?
- Show us. - It's a great chance.
- With Super Junior. - Why don't you get up now?
How about just him and Eun Hyuk?
- Make it cool. - Okay.
- Eun Hyuk's his favorite. - We...
We...
(Is he going to be good?)
(Let's do it!)
Goodness.
(When he's with his favorite singer,)
Goodness.
(he can even do their signature dance.)
He knows everything.
(He's satisfied.)
(Good job.)
(Watch our harmony.)
(Even the final touch)
(Bravo.)
Awesome.
Friends. Everyone has different preferences.
Can't you just support him?
- He doesn't do any harm. - Right.
We can't support him because...
we suffered many times before because of him.
- What? - How?
How does he harm you by being a fan of Super Junior?
If they release a new song,
he sends us their music video for us to listen,
or he tries to increase the hits, or tell us to buy the new album.
You're doing so well.
It's annoying every time he does that.
Did you say it's annoying?
It can be.
It's understandable.
He sometimes sends us their pictures.
He even asks us if they're sexy.
He tries to get our attention.
Just answer him. No, they're not sexy.
But...
- That works. - Right.
- Right. - Now that I think about it...
We get upset and tell him that he should know his limits,
but he'd get upset at us instead,
and say we don't know anything about them.
"You don't know them."
We don't know what to do because he gets upset.
When we spend money,
he always says he has no money. He always bails...
because he has to go to their concerts.
I'm disappointed because he'd cancel his plans with us...
to meet people that he met on the fan cafe.
(He often cancels his plans with friends.)
So...
Have you heard about his definition of friends?
Friends are people who you don't find awkward even after a long time.
(Groaning)
I understand that you like them.
Why do you force them to listen to their songs?
I do send them, but it's because it's a good song.
I suggested them to buy the albums because it's good.
But they don't like it.
Isn't it wrong to cancel the plans you made?
I'm not doing that on purpose.
When I'm not busy, they're busy.
When they want to meet,
I have to go to a concert.
I can only buy the goods when there's a concert.
I need money to get it,
but they take it the wrong way.
How about this?
Is there any positive changes...
from being a fan of Super Junior?
There are many. They keep talking about negative things.
For example,
they don't only work in Korea, but they go abroad a lot.
I chose Japanese major in university.
- Japanese major? - Yes.
- Is that because of Super Junior? - Yes.
I'm short. I didn't have many friends.
I was large.
What was the weight when you were heaviest?
I'm 167cm,
but I weighed more than 120kg when I was heaviest.
(167cm, 120kg or plus)
- 120kg? - Yes.
That's the maximum weight I can measure.
There was actually a girl I liked.
I told her that I like her.
She said, "Your favorite singers are on a roll, but look at you."
- It stimulated you. - I was shocked to hear it.
I was very shocked. I lost weight fast...
watching their videos because I like them.
- He lost weight... - Did you lose about 50kg?
- More than that. - That's amazing.
120kg...
Hey, Super Junior...
- He looks like a different person. - Keep being their fan.
You saved his life.
(He changed super nicely.)
He's handsome.
How did he do that?
- I want to know. - How did you do that?
How long did it take?
- I think it took seven months. - That's so fast.
Were you timid?
I was.
Did it change after being a fan of Super Junior?
I became more active than before.
- You became outgoing. - I became outgoing.
- That's amazing. - You've lost so much weight.
Let's give him a round of applause.
(That's great.)
You must've seen him since he was young.
What do you think of these positive influences?
Because he loves Super Junior madly,
it affects his daily life.
Even at his work,
- if people watch this show, - Really?
people would think he's weird.
It'd be pretty serious if it affect my daily life, but it doesn't.
- You don't think so? - No.
- It doesn't affect you? - No.
I do my job at the same time.
Can I ask what you do for living?
I'm an assistant teacher at school.
- An assistant teacher. - An assistant teacher.
That's what I do.
You have incomes and a job.
Young people nowadays...
have the senses. They have plans.
They have sets of ideas.
The other friend. What do you think...
of the positive effect he received?
We've been friends since high school.
- Since he said he likes male idols, - He's kind.
other friends tell him to dance.
Sometimes they tell him to get female idols' autographs.
Quite a few kids made him do it.
- He was bullied. - Yes. It happened many times.
It makes me think...
if he satisfies his needs or stress from school...
through Super Junior.
- That's better. - But...
now that I think about it,
I liked male singers when I was young.
Cho Yong Pil...
and Songolmae.
So they...
He's old.
I'm serious. So when they had live audience radio show,
- I went with my friends. - I went there too.
- There were many. - Of course.
Tell the audience that...
you're proud of being their fan.
I'm sure it's not just me,
but there are many male fans.
I'd appreciate it if you cast away a prejudice...
because it's just a hobby.
We have a male guest today,
but I don't think it's a problem to like a male celebrity.
You're way too focusing on it.
You invest all your times and love to them.
- I think that's the problem. - You should listen to your friends.
They said it's problematic, and I admit that it's too much.
- I'm thinking about reducing it. - What?
I'm not saying I'm going to reduce it for real.
I'm just going to pretend that I've reduced it...
- Pretend. - in front of my friends.
You favorite singer's look has changed.
Is there something you want to say to Super Junior?
- Look at them. - It's a rare chance.
They're your favorite.
Come on.
I prepared something for them.
I wrote a letter.
- What is it? - I wrote a letter.
- He prepared a lot. - Nothing is better.
- It's his handwritten letter. - I wrote a letter.
(He's touched.)
- Wait. - Please read.
- Should I read it? - Yes.
(His favorite, Eun Hyuk will read it.)
It's...
He chose pink papers.
"Hello, we are ELF."
"Having been to many of your performances,"
"I've seen you many times."
"But I can't believe I get to meet you in real life,"
"and up close too."
"I am a successful fan, aren't I?"
"I've been your fan for a long time,"
"and you brought me happiness."
"You guys are a miracle to me."
"If people ask me why I like you,"
"Why I Like You" is the title of our song.
He used a lot of our song titles in his letter.
"Happiness", "Miracle",
"Why I Like You" and many more.
"If people ask me why I like you,"
"I would say that you gave me..."
- "a storm of..." - "Storm" is another one.
"satisfaction."
"Thank you so much..."
"for bringing me happiness for a long time."
"I hope everyone will give thumbs up to Super Junior,"
"and I hope you will be happy together."
- "Happy Together". - "Thank you."
"P.S. Please remember..."
"that I really like you."
He's the true fan.
(It contains his love.)
(Thank you.)
- Thank you. - He's the true fan.
He's great. I am jealous.
- Super Junior. - Are they pressing the button?
Is this a worry or not?
Can this be a worry?
Why don't you say it all together?
Is this a worry or not?
- It's not. - It's not.
I think it's a worry.
Many people can't understand him.
We have to try to be a group that can also be loved by men.
It's something we have to work on,
so I think it's a worry right now.
I think it is a worry.
What's going on?
You hope it's not a worry,
- but it is a worry. - Yes.
He's just...
enjoying a cultural activity.
But people look at him with their preconceptions.
That's why he thought it was a worry and came here.
I think it's not a worry.
Nothing is perfect.
If it makes you happy, you just have to focus on that.
I think it could be a worry.
- For him. - Yes.
If you sympathize with him,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Stop. - Stop.
Please say something...
to your friend.
It's not about a man liking a group of men.
You have your life.
- He should be moderate. - Yes. You should be moderate.
You overdo it,
and you don't get to spend time with us.
I think it will be fine if you find the balance.
If he stops acting too feminine,
people won't look at him with misconceptions.
The internet cafe guy should say something.
- I am curious. - The internet cafe guy.
- Give him a mic. - Give it to him.
- Pass it to the back. - To the back.
Tell us your opinion.
(What would he say?)
I hope he will continue doing what he likes.
I think it's very healthy.
- Right. - They're the same.
Let's see how many votes he got. Please reveal the result.
(The result)
("Just Let Me Love")
- The last digit is 8. - Let's see if it's over 100.
Let's see. What's the result?
88.
(He got 88 votes.)
This is "My Turbulent Life".
- Hello. I'm a 7th grader boy. - Maybe he's going through puberty.
These days, I am annoyed because of adults.
My father is 50 years old this year,
and he drinks 365 days a year.
Whenever he drinks, he causes trouble.
"Son, your father..."
"peed in the sink last night. Do you know that?"
(It's terrible.)
"It stinks so much."
"Son, your father fell last night while drinking,"
"and his teeth got broken."
"How can this happen?"
Mom is always angry.
The problem is that she always complains about things to me.
(He has to hear her rant.)
I am just 15. What does she want me to do?
This is what happens every night at home.
"I am sick of it!"
"Can you stop drinking?"
"You nag so much."
"And I am tired of it."
"Mom, Dad, can you please stop fighting?"
- "Go to your room!" - "Go to your room!"
Every time they fight, my mentality suffers.
It's really embarrassing, but I've mustering up my courage.
Please help our family to find peace.
(This is a big worry.)
At such sensitive age,
it's not easy to openly talk about his family problem.
He made a big decision.
Let's bring him in. Please come in.
(Who's the boy suffering from his fighting parents?)
(Choi Jung Woo)
Please introduce yourself.
- Why is he so mature? - He is mature.
Hello. I am Choi Jung Woo, and I am 15 years old.
He is Choi Jung Woo.
Jung Woo.
He asked us something before the shoot.
He asked that the MCs...
and the hosts don't stare at his face.
- Why? - The audience have no choice.
- Why? - It makes him nervous.
- What's wrong? - You're staring at him, Eun Hyuk.
Stop it.
- I was curious. - Just look to the front.
Why did you come here?
- Where should we look? - Why did you say that?
Is it because you get nervous?
I can't talk.
- Why? - Are you too nervous?
- Yes. - Our eyes make you nervous.
He gets nervous if we stare at him.
But am I not supposed to look at you when I'm talking to you?
Do you want me to not look at you?
We are not bad people, boy.
Are you okay? Tell us when you feel relaxed.
How much does your father drink?
(How much does his father drink?)
He drinks every day.
- Every day. - Two bottles of soju a day.
Two bottles of soju a day.
I am sure he doesn't drink 365 days.
- Right. - He does.
- Every day? - Does he really?
- He doesn't skip a day. - What happens...
when he drinks?
(How is he when he's drunk?)
In the late night, I'm home,
and he comes home.
And he keeps getting the password wrong.
He just keeps pressing the password.
- He keeps getting it wrong. - Please speak louder.
Okay.
(He's cute.)
And he knocks on the front door.
He comes in while saying something strange,
and he scares me.
He says strange things and shouts.
During the exam period, I have to study.
So I study until the late night.
Dad comes home...
and says studying is useless.
Does he say that when you're studying?
- "Stop studying! It's useless." - He's such a good father.
Shouldn't you be happy?
That made me want to study even more.
You want to study more because he tells you not to.
He must be doing it on purpose then.
- Perhaps it's his way. - He must be doing it on purpose.
He's a master.
Do you remember when he started drinking?
From what I heard, he's been drinking since before I was born.
- He must really love drinking. - He's been drinking all along.
I think it's not that serious.
It doesn't sound too serious.
But that's not all.
He keeps causing trouble after drinking.
- What trouble? - What trouble does he cause?
It's...
What's wrong?
He suddenly started to tune his voice.
(I am too nervous.)
Like I said, he mistakes the veranda or the sink...
as the toilet and pees there.
He pees in the veranda or in the sink.
Does he not go to the police station?
- Does he get into fights? - That's very common.
- This happened a long time ago. - Okay.
We got a call from the police in the early morning.
I think Dad was sleeping on a street.
- My gosh. - That's dangerous.
I was young then, so I went there with Mom.
I remember Mom helping Dad get up.
By the way, you've been putting up with him until now.
What made you decide to bring the issue here?
When he comes home drunk, he picks a fight with Mom.
And they end up fighting.
Your parents get into a fight.
- How do they fight? - How do they fight?
Do they fight big?
I shouldn't be looking at him. Do they fight big?
How do they fight?
- He keeps swearing to her. - He swears to your mom.
They beat each other up.
- They beat each other up? - Beat each other up?
Does that mean...
she beats him too?
Do they beat each other?
How do you feel when you see them fighting?
- I feel scared. - Right.
Right.
I feel scared.
What do you do then?
When that happens... When I was in elementary school,
I slept beside my mom and dad.
Whenever they fought, I went and hid in my sister's room.
You hid in your sister's room.
I have a room now.
So I cover my ears...
or put on earphones and listen to music.
You should've gone to an internet cafe.
Have you not tried it then?
He will spend 80,000 dollars then.
I feel bad for him.
Some people are introverted.
But in his case, he avoids eye contact, and he lacks confidence.
He talks really quietly.
- He's daunted. - Yes.
And I think he became like this because...
his parents always fight.
- And that makes me feel bad. - I am curious about one thing.
What do you think about when you cover your ears?
What do you think about when you do this?
I just hope they will stop soon.
It really damages me mentally.
Right. That's the biggest problem.
Let's meet his parents and ask why they always fight.
- Hello, sir. - Hello.
Do you understand your son's worry?
I didn't think it was affecting him that much.
- You didn't. - Everyone sitting there says that.
Do you really drink every day?
Yes. I can't drink too much, so I drink two bottles a day.
- You drink two bottles every day. - You've been drinking...
two bottles of soju a day for tens of years. That's a lot.
That's a lot.
Why do you drink all the time? Is there a reason?
I work as a furniture delivery man.
I load an unimaginable amount of furniture in one-ton truck...
- and deliver them to 10 places. - In a day?
It's physically very demanding, so I crave for drinks.
Dealing with customers is also stressful.
But you don't work 365 days.
You have rest days.
You don't get stressed at home, do you?
Right. I don't.
- But you still drink? - Is it because you're happy?
There's a convenient store in front of my house.
So I buy 1 to 2 bottles of soju and go home.
We are drinkers too, so we know.
You don't drink because you're stressed.
You just like drinking.
You drink because it rains, because the weather is good,
- because you're stressed... - Because the weather isn't good.
- Because the weather is perfect. - Because the weather is perfect.
- It's like "Goblin". - You drink when you're happy too.
He's addicted.
Do you remember all the troubles you've caused?
I remember everything.
Why did you go to the police station?
- I slept on a street. - Did you sleep on a street?
How can you sleep on a street when you're still okay?
I only remember bits.
That's what it means to black out.
- Right. - How did you break your teeth?
It might sound like an excuse, but another man...
- pushed me, and I fell. - You got pushed.
- That's what happened. - But you don't remember clearly.
- I don't. - Right.
Then you don't remember what happened.
- He doesn't remember it. - If you remember it,
you would be horrified by what happened.
You wouldn't let the vicious cycle continue.
He should help himself.
Your son's biggest concern is the fight between you and your wife.
And he remembers your wife struggling to carry you.
- What do you think about that? - I had no idea.
- Did you only find out now? - Right.
I feel sorry, and I regret it.
That's how difficult and distant you are to him.
Think about him covering his ears in his room.
He's a young boy.
Let's talk to his wife.
She's Jung Woo's mom. Hello.
Hello.
You must have a lot to say.
Yes. I have a lot to say.
You should say everything.
When we just got married, whenever he drank...
he became a dog.
He went missing...
on every payday.
- He went missing. - Every payday?
Yes. He wouldn't come home.
I had to buy milk for our child,
and I didn't have money to buy it.
So I even had to ask my mother for money.
Whenever he was hungover, he couldn't go to work.
- His work suffered. - Yes.
It's embarrassing, but he once got fired.
We couldn't pay the monthly rent, and we got kicked out.
He must've drunk a lot more when he was younger.
Yes. He used to drink a lot.
What about the time when he went to the police station?
Jung Woo was still a baby,
so he was sleeping beside me. I got a call,
so I picked it up thinking that it was my husband.
And the police officer said I should pick up my husband.
Jung Woo was five at the time.
He was still too young, so I took him with me.
You remember what happened when you were five?
I had no idea that he still remembers it.
How do you feel now that you found out?
I am shocked.
It happened when he was little, so I thought he wouldn't remember it.
Do you know that he's worried because you fight all the time?
That's even a bigger problem.
I knew to a certain extent.
When he comes home, we are already asleep.
He turns on all the lights and picks a fight with me...
by telling me what he doesn't like about me or about other people.
Then I get upset and yell at him to stop drinking.
That's how we start a fight.
Sir, why do you have to vent out your anger to your family?
The biggest reason why we fight...
is because my wife is not the sweetest person.
She can't be sweet to a drunk person.
- But she's always like that. - It's strange.
She's always not so sweet. Let's say I go home drunk.
She would do the things I hate the most.
- What are those? - When we fight,
she brings up about the past. She compares me to other people.
When I hear those things, I lose my temper.
Even while apologizing, I get upset all over again.
Even when he's not picking a fight, you nag at him, don't you?
You just hate seeing him drinking every day.
Every day, I tell myself that I won't nag at him.
- She can't help it. - He doesn't do any housework.
I work three shifts as a nurse's aide.
- You work. - Three shifts? That's tough.
I wake my children at 7am and make sure to feed them.
I cook and do the laundry. And I prepare their dinner too.
- When I get home at 10pm... - That's so tough.
He drinks at home, you know?
When he drinks at home, I get a mountain of dirty dishes.
- I see that as soon as I enter. - Does he not help at all?
Not at all.
Isn't that too much?
- She works too. - And it's tough work too.
Is it that hard to do the dishes?
- He's drunk. - When I'm off work, I go hiking.
Then I drink with my lunch.
Then you take a nap and drink again in the evening.
What was the worst thing that happened?
About 2 to 3 years ago,
I left home.
I was away from home for about three months.
We even filed for divorce.
But because she had done wrong things too,
she wrote a long letter to me and persuaded me to come back home.
We promised that we would try to make it work again,
and I came back home.
But did it not work out well?
Did you forget about your promises?
I lost my original intention,
and I slipped back into my old habits.
You slipped back.
Do you talk to your wife when you are sober?
When I am home sober,
the house is too quiet, as if nobody lives in it.
- You don't communicate. - It's quiet.
You're not born like that.
This happens because you've never done it before.
If you drink only three times a week,
you could have time to talk to your son and to your wife.
You have the thirst for a family...
that is very close.
But none of you is trying.
That's why you don't feel close to each other at all.
I have a question.
I wonder if your family has a group chat room,
where everyone in the family is invited.
- A family chat room. - Do you have it?
- We don't. - That would be nice.
- I knew you wouldn't have it. - It's hard to initiate a talk.
So you should start by messaging each other.
- That's a good idea. - That's not a bad idea.
- It's a good idea. - What do you think?
What do you think about a family chat room?
We tried it.
Did you make it and invite them?
- My sister did. - Your sister did.
- She tried. - But Dad left it right away.
(Dad left the chat room.)
Why did you leave?
- Maybe he only said what he wants. - Why did you leave?
Was I invited? I didn't know.
- He made a mistake. - He didn't know.
I think he didn't know what it was for.
Were you shocked when he left the room?
I was shocked.
I thought he wasn't even willing to talk.
- Right. - Do you know what's funny?
Why didn't you tell him about it?
He always comes home drunk, so I didn't want to upset him.
- You were worried. - It's a vicious cycle.
(Can we be happy?)
Tell us what you remember about your dad.
At home, he's either drinking,
or sleeping after drinking.
Sometimes he watches TV.
(He drinks, sleeps, and watches TV at home.)
(Is that everything?)
Is that everything?
Was there a time when he wasn't drinking at all?
- When he wakes up... - I mean at night.
- In the morning, - When he wakes up.
he wouldn't drink.
(He's embarrassed.)
- There wasn't a time. - There wasn't a time.
- Not even once? - Do you remember playing with him?
Any good memories?
Good memories?
He needs to think hard.
I don't remember.
You don't remember?
(To Jung Woo, he's just the father who always drinks.)
Do you have good memories with your mom?
When she comes from work,
she calls me.
She says, "I'm home, Jung Woo."
- Does that make you happy? - "I'm home, Jung Woo."
(He smiles bright.)
Yes.
Do you feel bad for your mom?
Yes.
She always works.
Isn't it heartbreaking that that's the best memory he has?
"I'm home, Jung Woo." That's the best memory he has.
That's the happy memory for him.
(Shouldn't they change for Jung Woo?)
Jung Woo is very hurt,
so I think we shouldn't fight.
Of course you shouldn't.
- I will use this opportunity... - Right.
- to love him more. - You want to help him.
That's why we are here.
Sir, what do you promise to do for your son and wife?
Can you make a promise?
I wish I could say that I will stop drinking...
- That's impossible. - That's impossible.
- However, that's impossible. - That's impossible.
- That's impossible. - Look at these heavy drinkers!
You should promise to drink less or such.
Promise to drink 2 or 3 times a week...
- or such. - I will drink...
- three times a week. - You must keep that promise.
- I will drink three times a week. - You must keep that promise.
I will help out my wife.
How will you help? Will you do the dishes?
I will do the dishes every evening.
- You can't do that if you drink. - You can't do that if you drink.
- What? - You can't do that if you drink.
On the days I drink,
I will do the dishes first.
Do you think he will be able to keep his promise?
It will be hard for him to do the dishes every day.
On the days he doesn't drink...
I hope he would do the dishes 3 or 4 days a week.
- Make a realistic promise. - Okay.
Which promise will you make?
If my husband keeps his promises...
I always make scorched rice soup for him in the morning.
That's nice.
If he tells me what he wants to eat the night before,
I will cook it for him in the morning.
When we were newlyweds, I wasn't brusque.
I was full of charms.
(I was full of charms.)
Ever since we began to fight,
- he became brusque. - You changed.
- It hardened your face. - It's understandable.
I will talk to him nicely...
and treat him better.
It will be strange if you change so suddenly.
- Really? - Do you know...
how to act cute?
- I mean... - 1 plus 1 is 2.
1 plus 1 is 2.
(She adds numbers in a cute way.)
Can you do that?
- "1 plus 1 is 2"? - The answer is 2.
- 1 plus 1 is 2. - 1 plus 1 is 2 indeed.
- I have never acted cute before. - 2 plus 2 is 4.
- 4 plus 4 is 8. - 4 plus 4 is 8.
(Stop making fun of me.)
For goodness' sake.
(The math class ends.)
Your wife says she will act cute.
- I would love that. - Please show us a cute act.
Come on.
Show us.
Honey, don't drink. 1 plus 1 is 2.
- Let's say he did the dishes. - He did the dishes.
Honey, you did the dishes! How nice!
How nice!
(My goodness.)
Their son is smiling from ear to ear.
- Give him a kiss on the cheek. - How cute!
- Give him a kiss on the cheek. - Let's say he vacuumed too.
- Really? - Let's say he vacuumed.
Then I will give him a kiss.
(Kissing)
This is what you should show your son.
How does it feel to see them like that?
(How does it feel to see his parents being affectionate?)
I don't like it.
He is in eighth grade.
Would you rather see them fight?
This is better.
- That's right. - Of course.
Even if it isn't about kissing and acting cute,
he wants his parents to live in harmony.
If your parents live in harmony...
without fighting,
how will you help them?
- You should make a promise too. - That's right.
I can help out more...
with household chores such as the dishes or the laundry.
I guess he already helps out.
When I listen to Mom and Dad,
I will react to both of you.
- That's right. - That's very important.
Does your mom talk to you often?
She badmouths Dad.
She tells me that...
Dad never helps her...
as she cries.
(That's wrong.)
How does that make you feel?
I don't know what to do.
Why do you complain to your son?
(Why does she complain to her son?)
I get stressed out.
- You have no way of relieving it. - No.
I think to myself, "What am I doing in front of my son?"
However, I can't stop.
Your son is at a tender age.
Do you listen to his worries?
I thought I did.
- What do you think? - You listen to your mom's worries.
Does she listen to your worries?
To be honest, I think she only pretends to listen.
(Shocked)
- Why do you say that? - What did you talk to her about?
Doesn't she look you in the eye?
She doesn't answer much.
When I talk about my everyday life,
she becomes tired.
She answers soullessly.
Here is what I think.
Children who are in 8th or 9th grade...
usually don't talk to their parents about their worries.
They build their own world at that age.
- Boys are more like that. - That's right.
The way he talks tells me he is starved for affection.
That's right.
You shouldn't wait for the others to change.
The changes must come simultaneously.
Why don't you have a conversation?
- "Dad, you are home." - Sir.
Don't feel awkward by it.
Your mom kissed your dad.
I am awkward with Dad.
- That's right. - You feel awkward.
If you delay it,
years will pass in an instant.
Please say, "Jung Woo, I am home."
You should start.
You are home from work.
"My son, I am home."
- "Dad, you are home." - That's it.
- That's it. - That was great.
That's enough.
- Jung Woo's mom should go. - Jung Woo,
when you say hello,
don't straighten your face too soon.
"Dad, you are home."
(Serious)
(Did I do that?)
(Laughing)
How do you feel...
when you son greets you?
It feels great.
- I am sure it does. - Let's keep it going...
since you don't normally have a conversation.
"Jung Woo, I am home."
Jung Woo, I am home.
Welcome back.
- Keep the conversation going. - "Have you eaten?"
Have you eaten?
Yes. How about you?
- Good job. - No, I haven't.
I will set up the table. Do you want to eat with me?
He said he has eaten!
He only says what he wants to say without listening to his son.
"I will set up the table. Do you want to eat with me?"
His stomach will burst!
Maybe he wants to share a few drinks.
(Let's talk more often now.)
Say what you want to say to your mom and dad.
Dad,
- cut down on drinking. - That's right.
Mom, stop crying in front of me.
I hope you would stop fighting.
"Let's live with a smile." Tell them that you love them.
(It's embarrassing.)
Come on.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Let's begin with Eun Hyuk.
What do you think about Jung Woo's worry?
I think it's a big worry that required firm determination.
I think it's a worry.
When I think about my childhood,
I still remember my parents fighting.
You never forget it.
I think it's a big worry.
I also think it's a worry.
Both the son and the dad...
should make the effort.
They shouldn't wait for the other to change.
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.
Stop.
Say a few words to Jung Woo.
I want us to be friends,
not simply a father and a son.
Then treat him like a friend.
- A friend isn't like you. - I will take...
the first step.
- Please accept me. - React to your dad.
If you have a worry,
you can tell me...
- instead of mom. - That's right.
I promised to cut down on drinking.
I will keep my promise.
- Believe him. - Please believe me.
I love you, my son.
Please say a few words, Ma'am.
I won't cry in front of you anymore.
If you tell me your worries,
I will listen carefully and refrain from giving halfhearted answers.
I will give you answers after careful thoughts.
Jung Woo, I love you.
He is in tears.
It's okay.
(Sobbing)
(He burst out in tears.)
(He craved for his parents' love.)
He craved for his parents' love.
Hold hands and promise each other to live in harmony.
- Hold hands. - Make a promise.
- Hurry up. - Hold hands.
- He is crying because he is happy. - He craved...
for his parents' love.
It looks like they are arm wrestling.
They feel love for the family...
in their hearts.
(He can't stop the tears.)
Jung Woo.
Why do you think you are crying?
You will be happy from now on, right?
Jung Woo, say something.
I don't know. I can't stop the tears.
- That's right. - What are you feeling?
The heavy burden has been lifted.
It would have been nice if he were happy from the start.
(It would have been nice if he were happy from the start.)
I feel sad.
You won't be sad from now on.
That's right.
(We will give you happiness from now on.)
