National Competition...
- on Worries! - National Competition on Worries!
Let me introduce you to our today's guests.
- Kim Jo Han! - Kim Jo Han!
Hello. It's nice to meet you.
Seul Gi and Joy of Red Velvet!
(Seul Gi and Joy of Red Velvet)
They're so pretty.
The best professional gamer existing,
- Faker! - Faker!
(Faker, the icon of e-sports)
And Seo Do Hyun is also here with us. Welcome.
Jo Han, have you been well?
- It's been a long time. - Yes, it's been a really long time.
- I've been preparing... - I see.
for my 25th anniversary concert.
I also worked on my new album.
- A new album? - I see.
- Please sing a little bit for us. - Really?
("Still in Love" by Kim Jo Han)
(Singing soulfully)
(Entranced)
(Irresistibly mesmerizing)
He's amazing.
(He's indeed the forefather of R and B.)
I haven't heard his name...
or seen him until now. This is his first appearance on a TV show.
- Really? - Yes.
I'm Faker, a League of Legends pro-gamer...
and a member of SK Telecom T1.
- That's LoL, right? - That's right.
It's the most famous game among teens and people in their 20s.
(That's right.)
- We wouldn't know that. - Of course. We're in our 50s.
(The world has changed so much.)
To the video game fans,
- He's their idol. - Faker is their idol.
("Faker Earns 5 Million Dollars a Year Including Incentives")
("Faker Ranks at the Top at LoL World Championship")
(Faker, the hottest global e-sports star)
Faker, I heard you had your reason to appear on Hello.
He's a big fan of Red Velvet.
He's a huge fan of Seul Gi.
Whenever he turns his head towards us, he smiles.
- I can't hide it. - His hand is shaking.
Did you see his hand shaking?
He said he's Seul Gi's fan.
(His favorite member is Seul Gi.)
- You like Joy too, right? - Right.
- Of course. - I see.
She must be embarrassed.
She's surprised.
When we met him backstage,
he greeted us so happily. I was grateful for that.
Are you nervous right now?
Are you more nervous here than when you play games?
To be honest, I feel more nervous when I play games.
(He answered in only one second.)
He's very honest.
(He's firm.)
Do Hyun is good friends with Faker.
We met each other for the first time when we filmed a TV commercial.
I went to the set one hour earlier because I heard Faker would come.
- To meet him? - Were you his fan?
Yes. I went to see him, and we became friends.
However, he earns a lot of money.
But since I'm older than him,
I can't ask him to treat me to a meal.
So I always pay.
And...
- But he earns... - It's an investment, right?
I don't usually buy others a meal.
- You don't? - No.
- Then who spends that money? - What do you do with your money?
Actually, I pay when I meet my same age friends.
- I see. - You don't treat older friends?
- Treat me like a same age friend. - Shall I?
"Treat me like a same age friend."
Judging from what Faker said, I think...
You don't have any friends, do you?
(Humiliated, satisfied)
Why aren't you answering me?
- Pardon? - You don't have any friends, right?
(He's having a hard time on his first variety show.)
Do Hyun, do you have any worries?
I filmed a new movie until early this morning before coming here.
I just hope the movie will become a hit.
- Of course. - Right.
I play an evil character who caused the incident.
And I'm mean until the moment I die.
- You die in the movie? - Yes.
Now, I know what happens in the movie.
Oh, no. This is bad.
There are many other characters...
Stop telling us the story of the movie.
- I hope it'll be a big hit. - I want to watch it in a theater.
We have three stories as always.
Show us the keywords please.
"The Man from Joseon".
"My Heavy Son".
"His Obsession with Cleanliness".
"The Man from Joseon".
Hello.
I'm a housewife in my 30s, and I have 3 and 4-year-old daughters.
I'm busy looking after my daughters,
but I panic at 6pm when my husband comes home after work.
I'm in an emergency situation.
"Darn!"
"I told you to prepare dinner before I come home,"
"so I can eat as soon as I come home."
"I'm sorry. I was too busy feeding our oldest daughter."
"Gosh."
"Prepare dinner in three minutes."
My husband, who is so scary,
always makes me feel uneasy and anxious.
"Gosh. Look at the dust here."
"What do you ever do at home?"
"Look how messy the fridge is."
"Look at this. This is unbelievable."
He checks if the house is clean and nags at me all the time.
However, what's even more unbearable than this...
"Honey, massage my feet."
- Massaging his feet? - My goodness.
He does everything bad. He doesn't help with anything.
(He makes his wife do everything.)
"What? Honey, I'm tired too."
"You give me a massage."
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm a man."
"A man doesn't do things like that."
(What is he talking about?)
Are we living in Joseon Dynasty?
Please help me change my patriarchal husband...
who believes...
that men and women have different duties.
That's all.
(Please help me change my patriarchal husband.)
Yesterday, I felt suffocated.
When I read this letter, I felt like I had indigestion.
- You were frustrated. - Yes.
So I ate roast chicken before going to bed.
- You pushed it down. - That's right.
Joy and Seul Gi, what do you think from a woman's perspective?
- I don't like him. - Me neither.
You don't like him?
Joy seems angry.
I don't think he can be loved by anyone.
You wouldn't have fallen in love with a man like him?
That's right. I think I wouldn't have.
I wouldn't become fond of a man like him.
(He smiles slightly.)
What if he changes completely after getting married?
- That happens a lot. - That's even worse.
- That happens. - That'd be a big problem.
- Faker. - That's not good.
Are you patriarchal?
(Are you patriarchal?)
Are you? Please answer the question.
I'm not patriarchal.
In fact, I hate people like him.
Faker, is there any video game terms you would use...
to describe the husband in this story?
I think he's a bit of a troll.
- What is it? - "Troll"?
- What is it? Do Hyun. - What does it mean?
- How should I explain it? - Oh, a troll?
(I think I know that word.)
- Pardon? - "Troll"?
It's not "churoll". It's "troll".
- "Troll". - "Troll"?
How should I explain it?
Why did you bring that up if you couldn't even explain it?
(The video game prince is humiliated.)
Let's bring out the guest.
- Please come out. - Please come out.
Do Hyun, could you escort her?
(Jung Eun Mi)
Are you worried because your husband is very patriarchal?
Yes. I feel like I'm living in Joseon Dynasty.
Before we got married, he wasn't patriarchal at all.
He was caring and kind.
I see.
Do you do the household chores...
all by yourself?
Ever since I had my second child, chores and childcare became my job.
When I ask him to help me, he goes, "I can't because I am a man."
- After our second child. - Why did he suddenly change?
That's not the only problem. He nags at me a lot.
He nags at you.
When he comes back from work,
he expects me to have dinner ready.
He calls me.
"My blood sugar level is low. Make sure I can eat right away."
It's hard to watch the children and cook at the same time.
- Of course it is. - They cling on to me...
and ask me why I won't play with them.
Then my husband comes home...
and gets angry because the dinner isn't ready.
He checks for dust and goes, "Do you really clean the house?"
- He checks for dust. - Does he do this?
He says the restroom is too dirty.
He stands next to me and asks, "Did you clean the restroom?"
"Why is the pot so dirty?"
"The fridge is too disorganized."
That's stressful.
(The never-ending nagging will make you lose your mind.)
Does he ever encouraged you...
for working hard to complete the household chores?
No, he doesn't.
You said he even asks you to massage his feet.
He works at the construction site, so stands all day long.
I massage his feet 10 minutes a day.
He lies down and orders me around.
Even though I am not hungry,
he asks me to make him ramyeon.
He doesn't do it himself.
He gets angry if I don't eat with him.
My husband does that.
I am worried that Eun Mi might get sick.
She is under a lot of stress.
In this kind of a situation, you can't lose weight.
Everything you eat will go to your weight.
Her husband should know that.
She relates to what Yeong Ja said.
When he goes to work at 5:30am,
I need to pick his clothes and see him off.
My goodness.
Does he demand that you wake up and see him off?
Yes.
Why?
He says it's lonely to leave alone.
- Hold on. - Even if I am sleeping,
he doesn't want to leave alone.
Why do you meet his every demand?
- Can't you refuse? - If I refuse,
he gets angry, slams the door, and stops talking to me.
- He ignores me. - He becomes sullen.
He makes me feel uncomfortable and scared.
(What should I do about my husband?)
Perhaps her husband has a different perspective.
- He is here, right? - Yes, he is.
Let's meet the husband from Joseon Dynasty.
Hello.
Hello, I am Eun Mi's husband.
You listened to your wife's worry.
Do you understand?
Not at all.
(The atmosphere turns frigid.)
I am dissatisfied...
I have to explain myself before the nation.
- Seriously. - Can you tell us...
if your wife spoke truthfully?
She did.
Yet you don't think it's a worry.
Those are things she has to do.
(Those are things she has to do.)
(He has an unbelievable mindset.)
In my opinion, household chores are my wife's responsibility...
and working and making money is mine.
Since I work at the construction site,
I am tired. I go to work at 6am...
and come home at 5pm.
The work is demanding both physically and psychologically.
You say I am patriarchal,
but my grandfather, father, and I always ate...
at a separate table.
My grandmother and women ate...
in the kitchen. I have become patriarchal...
since I lived that way for many years.
That's what I think.
While fathers in the past were patriarchal,
they didn't nag much.
They didn't say, "Clean this up."
I can't help but nag.
After I let her try something, I teach her the right way...
2 or 3 times.
It gets tiring when she can't get it right.
When I come home, the dinner isn't ready.
I can't help but become sensitive.
Anyone would react the same way on an empty stomach.
I can't do everything perfectly at all times.
Sometimes, he tries to find faults.
He leaves his clothes on the floor for three days and goes,
"Why didn't you clean this up?"
- He does that on purpose. - Yes.
Joy, ask him if he did it on purpose.
- I... - Joy...
doesn't want to talk to him.
(That's correct.)
(It pricks his conscience.)
I have a question.
These days, patriarchy is frowned upon...
by the society.
I want to know what you think about that.
I don't know if it's because Faker is a gamer,
but he is ahead of us. That was the last question.
(Please don't disturb the flow.)
(Laughing)
Your wife says you seem to find faults with her...
on purpose.
I do find faults with her on purpose.
- On purpose? - That's right.
- Why? - I was hungry.
I came home in an exhausted state, but dinner wasn't ready,
and the house was a mess.
It put me in a foul mood.
That's why I thought to myself, "I will make you cry."
(They get goosebumps at his state of mind.)
- My goodness. - What did she do wrong?
She works hard at home.
(They feel bad for his wife.)
When he is in a bad mood,
if he gets up for water in the middle of the night...
and sees a dirty spoon,
he'll wake me up to clean it.
- My goodness. - He turns over the spoon holder.
Like this?
Yes. He tells me to wash all the spoons.
I turn over the spoon holder because she doesn't keep it clean.
- Does it make you feel better? - Yes.
(They are speechless.)
After he turns over the spoon holder,
what happens if you don't clean it up?
If I don't, he gets more upset.
The situation gets worse.
Yes. Because I don't want that to happen,
I wake up and clean it even if I'm tired.
(I feel bad.)
What exactly do you do?
I am a chief at a construction site.
Until you became the chief, you started as a rookie...
and gained experiences.
That's how you became the chief.
When you were young, I am sure the chief shouted at you,
"Why did you work this way?"
Wasn't it exhausting...
to deal with someone who is angry?
Since I was good at my job, that never happened.
(He says he was always good.)
He was good.
He's very consistent.
I must ask,
how does he discipline the daughters?
When he is taking a nap on his day off,
they cling to him and ask him to play with them.
Then he gets mad and goes, "For goodness' sake!"
He does that to 3 and 4-year-old daughters.
Yes. The older daughter is wary and scared...
of her dad.
He hit the younger one's bottom...
making a mess in her room.
She is three years old!
That's nothing.
When the older old hit the younger one,
he said, "You need to experience the same thing,"
and hit her the same way.
He hit her the same way.
Did he hit her bottom?
The older one hit the younger one with her foot.
He did the same.
Did you hit her with your foot?
Sir.
- My goodness. - Sir.
- Yes? - How did that happen?
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?
I am rough with them,
but it's a part of the discipline.
She needs to get hit...
so that she knows the pain and stops her bad habit.
- That's why I did that. - You hit her with your foot.
- Yes. - My goodness.
The strength isn't the same.
Your foot is bigger and smells more.
Do you get worried and frustrated...
when you see Eun Mi look after the children?
I know a family with two sons.
Everything is hectic in that household.
Compared to that family, my family is quiet.
I don't understand why...
my wife struggles so much...
while raising two daughters.
Don't you think it will be hard to chase after children...
all day long?
It will be hard.
I feel bad for her.
Why are you suddenly acting this way?
(Everyone laughs.)
We haven't even started.
Be firm with your opinions.
Let's see how this ends.
Their acquaintances are here.
I lived with him for 4 or 5 years before he got married.
Then you must know all about his personality.
That's right.
He was a nice man who helped around at home.
I thought he was a family man,
so I was very surprised to hear this.
- What? - Even his friend was surprised.
- He wasn't always like this. - He suddenly changed.
He did chores and cooked.
He did most of that by himself.
- Eun Mi's husband did? - Yes.
Why do you think he stopped...
after marriage?
He must think it's a married man's right.
A married man's right.
It seems that way.
Did he nag at you?
No, I nagged at him more.
(I don't understand.)
Which dish of his was the tastiest?
He makes tasty soybean paste stew and seafood soup.
Has he made those dishes for you?
He has made soybean paste stew, but he hasn't made seafood soup.
He has made soybean paste stew.
The fact he cooked once muddles the matter.
I know.
Had he not done that, we would have criticized him more.
All right.
Let's now talk to Eun Mi's sister.
I used to live with them...
and they got along well.
When they were newlyweds, Eun Mi got scolded...
by him.
He said she didn't clean the house properly.
I think she washes the dishes cleanly,
but apparently, it's not good enough for her husband.
She has to meet his standards.
She has to meet his standards when she cleans the house?
Watching her living like that made me so upset.
(She's holding back tears.)
Eun Mi is very kind and soft-hearted.
I want her to talk to her husband, but...
- But she doesn't. - That's right.
She never talks to him about it.
She cried alone so many times too.
Since I'm her little sister...
(She barely suppresses her tears.)
- She vented to you. - Yes.
She looks so nice.
As her sister, how do you want Eun Mi and her husband...
to change?
I want them to share house chores.
Eun Mi also works part-time.
- What? - She works part-time.
How can she work too while looking after two kids?
I work at a restaurant for three hours after they go to kindergarten.
My husband manages family finances, so he gives me money.
I can't spend money freely. Since I have hair loss,
I want to get treatment, but it costs 300 dollars.
My husband told me not to do it.
Did you know that your wife was working part-time?
Yes, I know that.
I told her not to, but she insisted.
- She has hair loss, - That's because you don't...
- and that stresses her out. - give her money for the treatment.
Joy spoke up for the first time.
- What did she say? - She couldn't stand it anymore.
You could've given her money for the treatment.
It's not that I don't give her money.
- I... - She said you didn't.
I gave her a debit card...
and got a family credit card.
If what he said is true, you can just spend money...
- on whatever you want... - Just spend it freely.
within your budget.
I have to ask for his permission every time I spend money.
- I see. - So I feel burdened.
I thought it would be better...
to earn money I need by myself.
Do you need his permission every time you spend money?
Yes.
- When I spend a lot of money. - Like everything else you do?
Were you stressed out so much that you had hair loss?
I've been living with my mother-in-law...
Are you living with your mother-in-law?
- Yes. - In the same house?
Yes.
I told you before...
that it hasn't even started.
I have to look after two of my kids and take care of my mother-in-law.
Then your mother-in-law must help you look after the kids.
(She sighs deeply.)
My goodness.
She says that's not the case.
My mother-in-law is in the early stage of Alzheimer's.
(It's getting worse and worse.)
So...
She can walk by herself and communicate with others,
- but... - That's a relief.
I have to change her diapers.
I help her go to the toilet too.
Do you bathe her too?
I bathe her too.
I do all that.
But my husband does nothing.
Even when my mother-in-law coughs at night,
I have to go check on her.
Does your husband wake you up...
- instead of checking on her? - Yes.
He makes me go to her room...
to see if she's okay.
- But she's his mother. - Yes.
Then you should've told him to go by himself.
Have you ever told him that?
He simply said, "I'm her son. I'm a man."
(He said he wouldn't do it because he's a man.)
What does your gender have to do with that?
She's your own mother.
(It's frustrating.)
I know that it's hard.
But I believe it's what she should do...
as a daughter-in-law.
She should take care of her elder.
- Then... - Let's hear him out first.
- Joy. - Everyone, please don't swear.
I'm holding back my anger while clenching my fists.
Even I can hold it back. Why can't you do the same thing?
Okay.
You are her son.
Can't you look after your mother by yourself?
Since I'm a man...
(He repeats the same thing over and over again.)
It's a little hard to help her go to the bathroom.
My wife is as woman just like my mother.
She can do things I can't do for my mother.
And I'm sure my mother feels more comfortable...
when my wife helps her.
- I'm glad you just said that. - So...
Then let me ask you one thing.
Since your wife is a woman just like your mother,
she could bathe your mother.
But when you hear your mother coughing at night,
you don't have to wake your wife up.
You can check if she's okay as her son.
- She's right. - It's a hassle.
I'm too tired.
The two of you seem to weigh almost the same.
It's because I'm tired...
- and have to go to work early. - Gosh. It feels like...
If that's your argument, it's a hassle for her too.
Then if your daughters get married...
and live the same life as your wife,
how would you feel?
Imagine your daughters waking up...
in the middle of the night to wash spoons on the floor.
I would feel miserable if I were her.
(I would feel miserable if I were her.)
I do think I should help her.
- But you don't. - I think I should,
but I'm too tired.
Your wife is tired too.
They do you tell her, "You worked hard as always."
"You must be very tired."
Does he ever compliment you...
or say comforting words to you?
- No, he doesn't. - Not once?
No. I've never heard him saying anything like that.
My goodness.
(Feeling sorry for her)
You are a superwoman.
I'm surprised. How many hours do you sleep a day?
Maybe six hours, I guess.
I'm not saying I sleep for six hours straight.
- Of course. - I wake up every hour.
I can imagine that.
She can't get a good night's sleep.
What worries me...
is that you're the only man...
around your daughters.
Then your daughter might think it's normal to live like their mom.
So when they grow up and date a man,
they might believe that a man with the same viewpoint as you...
is a right man for them.
Sir, what position do you think you are in...
in your family?
I think I'm in the highest position as the head of the family.
- What do you think are your duties? - What is it?
I'm my family's hope.
- You are. But how about now? - Yes.
When you come home, do your wife and kids...
look scared of you...
or happy to see you?
- They seem to be afraid of me. - Exactly.
I'm telling you this because I feel bad for you.
You shouldn't think you can keep living like this.
- How long could she hold out? - Exactly.
There must be times you have negative thoughts.
I think our appearance on this show is our last chance.
I see. What if your husband doesn't change even after this?
If he doesn't,
I would have to consider divorce.
Is it that hard?
- Yes. - Have you reached your limit?
She said she'd consider divorce.
- Yes. - I was surprised. How do you feel?
I will help her look after the kids from now on...
I'm not asking you about your plan. I'm asking how you're feeling.
Your wife has never said anything like this before.
You know that she's nice, right?
I don't think she's nice.
(He can't see what's going on.)
Gosh. Come on.
(He's impossible.)
- How could you say that? - You know...
- that she's gentler than others, - I can't believe you.
- don't you? - Yes. She's gentle.
- You know that, right? - That means she's nice.
When such a gentle person like her said she could get divorced,
- it means she's too distressed. - He just doesn't want to lose.
[VIU Ver] E389 Hello Counselor "When It’s Just Too Much" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
It must be difficult for him to answer that question...
because this is the only lifestyle he is aware of.
It's not entirely his fault...
that he thinks every family is like his family.
But now, you know you're wrong.
You should change. You need the courage...
to admit and apologize for what you did wrong.
I understand. I'll try.
If you have free time,
what would you do with your husband?
I want to go on a trip with him to the beach in Jeju Island.
We went to Jeju Island for our honeymoon.
I want to go there again.
I didn't even have a chance to go on a honeymoon.
- I envy you. - Well...
Where did you go the last time you went on a trip?
That was it.
- Your honeymoon? - Yes.
Then it's been five years.
- Exactly. - Does your husband...
often express his affection for you through words or physical contact?
He expresses his affection for me.
He nags at you so much, but expresses his affection too?
Yes, he does.
I told you it's a little ambiguous.
(I can't just criticize him.)
"There's so much dust in the house."
(Physical contact of a patriarchal man 1)
"Look at all the dust."
"Clean the house more cleanly."
(Physical contact of a patriarchal man 2)
It's ambiguous.
(It's so hard to understand their relationship.)
In that case, Eun Mi,
let's imagine...
the kids are sleeping, and you're with your husband alone.
(Let's go on a trip alone together)
We are mandarins and persimmons.
- Mandarins and persimmons? - Mandarins...
- and cheonhyehyang. - Waves are crashing.
There are pineapple trees behind you.
(Try to focus solely on your husband.)
You are with your husband alone.
Say what you have to say to him to his face.
I want you to help me look after the kids...
and nag at me less from now on.
What else do you wish for?
For example, do you want some free time?
It's so hard to look after the kids...
and my mother-in-law all by myself.
(She tears up.)
It's even harder because I have no one to talk to about it.
I wish my husband could listen to me and let me vent to him,
but he doesn't.
When I talk about his mother, he only gets angry at me.
When I said I was stressed, he didn't understand me...
and got angry at me saying it shouldn't be stressed out.
He seemed to hate to hear me talking about his mother.
- Why? - Why would you get angry?
You're supposed to be curious.
When she starts talking about my mother, I feel like...
she's telling me my mother's getting worse.
And it's hard to believe how bad her condition got.
- Like I said, - So...
you should know the situation.
Do you want to deny reality?
Or do you avoid talking about it because you feel apologetic,
and you don't want to show that feeling?
Of course, I'm sorry to her.
I also know that my wife is going through a hard time.
Then you should thank her instead of getting mad.
"Thank you for telling me what happened."
I am not good at expressing myself.
You are incredibly good at expressing your anger.
You're not making any sense.
Don't try to get out of this.
I know what you are going through,
but you shouldn't treat your wife that way.
My mother passed away four years ago.
When she was fighting her illness,
my wife took care of her.
I was so thankful that I realized...
working until late at night is nothing.
(Working until late at night is nothing.)
My wife and I came to love each other more...
after my mother passed away.
It's love that comes from gratitude.
- That's right. - My opinions of her improved,
and my love for her grew bigger.
(My love for her grew bigger.)
Can you grant your wife's wish?
Listen to her and encourage her for her hard work.
Yes, I will try.
Try it here and now.
(Try it here and now.)
Honey, thank you always.
I haven't expressed my gratitude with words,
but I am always thankful for you.
I love you.
Let's start with Jo Han.
What worries me is...
Who pressed the button?
- Seul Gi? - It wasn't me.

"My Heavy Son".
Hello, I am a woman in my 40s...
who has a 19-year-old son.
They say seeing her child eat makes a mother feel full.
However, seeing my son eat...
makes me upset.
From the morning, my son eats ice cream,
a big bowl of rice, a pot of stew,
eight eggs, a can of ham,
and two cans of tuna.
That's his breakfast.
- Does he eat that much at once? - He must be an athlete.
- He has a big stomach. - At lunch,
he eats the school meal, bread, and drinks.
He eats a ridiculous amount of food.
One day, I came home and said, "What happened to the bibim noodles?"
"There were three."
(Slurping)
"I ate all of them."
He wipes out food as soon as he sees it.
Since he eats a lot, my son is 175cm tall...
and weighs over 100kg.
"You will ruin your health at this rate."
"You are not allowed to eat dinner."
"Mom, I am hungry! I am hungry!"
He only quieted down...
when he had a box of Choco Pies.
- A box? - He had a box of Choco Pies.
It's like a box of apples.
Seeing my son makes my heart heavy.
Please stop my son.
He needs to have a box of Choco Pies in order to quiet down.
I moved from the countryside.
When I was a rookie, I didn't make a lot of money.
When a friend offered to buy me beef...
Someone like that is the best.
Buy me beef.
(Pricking at his conscious)
I ate seven servings of beef.
- You ate that much beef. - Yes.
I know someone who eats tonkatsu...
365 days a year.
He eats tonkatsu every day.
He had a girlfriend.
- For a year... - For a year, they ate tonkatsu.
They were eating tonkatsu...
when they broke up.
- They were eating tonkatsu? - Yes.
- Please come on out. - Please come on out.
(Whose son binge-eats even if he gains weight?)
(Choi Hyun Hee)
I bet you are a good cook.
She looks like she will say, "It's the tastiest."
You are a good cook, right?
Yes, I am.
(She is cute.)
How much does your son weigh?
Right now, he is 175cm tall.
It's embarrassing to say, but he weighs about 110kg.
He was chubby ever since elementary school.
So that he wouldn't gain weight,
I sent him to taekwondo, kendo, and hapkido classes.
He was only a bit chubby.
One he entered the middle school, he couldn't exercise...
because he had to study.
Then puberty hit him and increased his appetite.
He began to gain weight each and every day...
to the point where there weren't any uniforms that fit him.
It was only a few days before the new school year,
and it was troubling.
I went to a tailor's shop that makes school uniforms...
- and got one for him. - Thank goodness.
- I read your worry earlier. - Yes.
- Does he really eat that much? - Ice cream.
He eats rice in a large bowl,
not a regular-sized bowl.
He likes army stew,
braised chicken stew, and such. There is a 28cm wok.
I fill it with food.
- What? - Then...
- 28cm wok. - There is a 28cm wok.
- It's like a concave frying pan. - That's right.
- He eats stew in that. - Does he...
- Please wait. - Okay.
Then I make him a rolled omelet...
with 7 or 8 eggs.
He also eats tuna with mayonnaise.
- Tuna with mayonnaise. - After a meal,
he eats ice cream and goes to school.
- He is diligent. - He eats ice cream before school?
- He is diligent. - It's like a ritual.
I know. He must wake up early to eat all that food.
He eats lunch at school.
Since he had a big breakfast, he should have a light lunch.
- He eats leftover food... - Does he eat that?
from his friends.
How much does a single meal cost?
What he eats makes up 50 percent of our living expenses.
- Is it that much? - He eats that much.
He is really greedy when it comes to food.
When the family goes to a barbecue restaurant,
he eats the meat as soon as I grill it.
Since he eats all the meat,
we order soybean paste stew...
- and eat it with rice. - My goodness.
Otherwise, we eat naengmyeon.
He doesn't do that in front of his relatives, does he?
He does it.
- My goodness. - When we have family gatherings...
There are more eyes then.
I know. He should have a sense of shame.
One time, my family and my sibling's family...
went to a restaurant and ordered two large plates of sashimi.
He began to inhale food in front of him.
Then he moved on to the other plate...
and finished the food.
My sibling told my son,
"You have no manners."
Is there anything he doesn't eat?
He is a picky eater.
- He doesn't eat vegetables. - No, he doesn't.
- My goodness. - When you eat jjolmyeon,
- bean sprouts, cabbage, - They are tasty.
and carrot are tasty.
- They complete the dish. - He removes...
all of them.
(He binge-eats, is greedy with food, and is a picky eater.)
Let's talk to her son.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
(Who is the son who eats too much?)
He is like a character from a comic book.
Please stand up and bow to your elders.
- Attention. - Hello.
Please bow to the audience.
Hello.
- He is cute. - He is cute.
He is like a character from a comic book.
(Embarrassed)
I was worried because you said he stays at home,
but he seems to be a cheerful boy.
He seems to be outgoing.
- Are you like that? - Ma'am, why do you hang your head?
I'm worried about how he'd look on the screen.
- Come on, he's still growing. - He looks like that.
(Ta-da)
(Shaking his head)
(He's cheerful, unknowing of his mom's worries.)
- He's so cute. - He's very...
(Her son has no worries.)
Can you understand your mom's worry?
I don't think I eat as much as she thinks I do.
Really?
To us, it seems like you eat quite a bit.
You eat a huge bowl of rice and a full pot of stew.
How often do you eat that much? Once a week? Twice? All week long?
Quite often.
- It's all the time. - I knew it.
It's not often, but it's quite often.
(She can't believe him.)
We received a photo of his usual amount of food.
- There's even chicken. - Chicken?
- It looks delicious. - There are eight pieces.
There are eight drumsticks.
(Salivating)
- Gosh. - He eats all of that?
How many rolls are there?
(They are piled up.)
Well...
He eats all of them?
- No way. - That's ridiculous.
- How... - There are 10 rolls.
- He doesn't like chopped ones. - 10 rolls?
He eats them whole.
- He does? - Yes.
That's why there are rolls.
He eats all of them?
(This is all for just one person.)
(That's nothing.)
(That looks delicious.)
- Look. - The mung-bean pancakes look nice.
- That looks delicious. - Ma'am.
- There's beef boiled in soy sauce. - They all look so scrumptious.
- She's a good cook. - That looks yummy.
Does he finish all that beef in one sitting?
Yes, it is.
(It's a few days' worth.)
(All the side dishes are in large portions.)
- In one sitting? - No way.
What's interesting is, he doesn't eat the quail eggs.
- He only eats the meat? - Yes.
(She's a good cook.)
If you're not considerate of others...
and help yourself to all the food...
If you continue doing that, they might not like to eat with you.
I think I get into my zone when I eat.
I can't control myself.
- But... - Although you try?
There are many all-you-can-eat restaurants now.
We usually go there.
How much do you eat if you eat a lot?
- Let's see you brag. - Brag?
(He's excited.)
"Brag?"
At an all-you-can-eat restaurant, I had about...
5 to 6 servings.
- Of meat? - After that,
I ate naengmyeon.
I had an extra-large bowl.
Then I ordered more noodles.
- Then I ate all of them. It's good. - An extra-large and more noodles?
An extra-large and more noodles.
(They get along...)
(very well.)
(It's not the time to joke around.)
Since when did you start gaining weight?
In elementary school, I did various sports,
but in sixth grade, I quit all the sports I did.
There was a convenience store in front of my middle school.
They had a buy-1-get-1-free for Cokes.
I had two bottles of them every morning.
- Every morning? - I think that was it.
(He ate like that for 3 years.)
Here are photos of him before he attended...
middle school.
(How did he look?)
- He was so cute. - It's his baby photo.
Goodness, how cute.
- He didn't wear black back then. - I see.
- I think that was in kindergarten. - How cute.
- Yes. - I see.
(This was the start.)
- When was this? - It's his sixth-grade photo.
His stomach started protruding.
How do you feel seeing these photos?
Do they motivate you to lose weight?
At the moment, I don't feel the need to lose weight.
(How can I change your mind?)
Have you ever put him on a strict diet?
There's an elementary school in front of our house.
We decided to walk around the schoolyard for an hour.
He did it for two days.
On the third day, he wouldn't wake up.
He got cranky.
I also heard that boxing helps you lose...
- a lot of weight. - Right.
He took classes for a few days.
Then he said that the place reeked of sweat.
That's a given.
Exactly. But he stopped going after several days.
And as you can see, he likes frozen food and chicken.
He doesn't like anything else.
- Bibimbap is delicious, right? - Right.
I made some for him,
but he didn't eat it.
It was difficult because I couldn't starve him.
- She's weak-hearted. - Right.
For me, if it's not tasty, I don't want to eat it.
For example, if kimchi tastes good that day, I'll eat it.
If not, I won't.
I don't like ramyeon.
I won't eat soggy noodles.
You're quite picky.
Wouldn't it be better to cook for yourself?
But my mom's such a good cook.
Then how about making smaller portions?
Right.
I should still make enough to satisfy him.
- No, ma'am. - She's weak-hearted.
She worries about him but cooks everything for him.
I think that's the problem.
It was during the early days of "Our Children Have Changed".
There was an elementary school kid who was a very picky eater.
If the kid didn't want to eat during mealtime, they'd take it away.
Later on, he'd get hungry and ask for food,
but they didn't give it to him.
After about two days, he was even eating kimchi.
I've tried not giving him any food, but he still wouldn't eat.
How long was it for?
- It wasn't for several days, - Right.
but since he wasn't eating,
- You were worried? - I got worried.
I'm sure it wasn't easy.
His father's here as well.
- Hello. - Are you worried about your son?
Of course.
He can't tie his own shoelaces.
He can't reach them...
because of his belly.
We tried giving him vegetables.
He threw up immediately.
Seeing him throw up...
made me feel so sorry for him.
- Have you tried being strict? - Right.
It took us five years after our marriage to have him.
After his first birthday,
he suffered from an illness where his hip joints rotted.
Since it didn't regrow where it rotted, he couldn't balance.
- Right. - The doctor said...
he had to amputate this much of his bone.
(Their heart aches every time they see their son.)
Because of that, we let him do whatever he wants...
and feed him whatever he wants to eat.
I see.
- We can understand that. - That's what happened.
What we regret and are concerned about...
is his health.
When he gets his checkup,
it says that he is obese.
Since he enjoys eating oily foods, he suffers...
- from irritable bowel syndrome. - Right.
He takes medicine for that.
Another thing is, since he's so big,
he falls down often.
- He falls. - I see.
At first, we were shocked and took him to the hospital.
But now, he says it's a hassle and refuses to go.
You can feel that you need to eat in moderation...
and work out regularly, right?
(Silent)
- Be honest. - Have you ever regretted all this?
Have you ever wondered?
I never regretted eating.
I don't think about the future.
How about when you fall?
When you fall, do you ever wonder whether you're too big?
- Do you not? - Never.
Think about it right now.
You must.
(He doesn't know gravity of this situation.)
You need to give him time to realize for himself...
and feel the need to change. But you do everything that he wants.
How about the shoelaces? Do you tie them for him?
- For a 19-year-old? - Since he can't do it,
- I do it for him. - You shouldn't.
Although I'm big right now, I used to be bigger when I was young.
Since my mom wouldn't give me food,
hide it, and scold me, I would eat in secret.
So I know how it feels to be fat.
I'm worried that he might get bullied...
and lose self-esteem, so I'm afraid to scold him.
- I feel sorry for him. - I understand.
How is your relationship with your friends?
In elementary school, I used to get teased a lot.
But in middle school, we'd get milk.
My friends would tell me to drink one more.
They'd be impressed and entertained.
- 7 cartons? - Yes, I've had 7 cartons before.
And then, I threw up.
You did?
Have you ever force-fed yourself...
because your friends wanted you to or in order to please them?
Since it makes me happy to see them laugh, I sometimes did that.
It makes you happy to see them laugh.
Goodness.
A friend of his is here as well.
Is there anyone who teases him for being big?
During a festival, there was a food competition.
He had 40 bottles of yogurt...
and 1.25L of soda.
He did throw up, but he won.
He did.
- But he threw up? - Yes.
Everyone was impressed and cheered for him.
Through that, he gained confidence and had something to brag about.
- He likes the attention. - Do you think they were honestly...
cheering him on?
Or were they condescending him?
- I think it was mixed. - Right, I think so too.
For their son, we have also brought in a special guest.
- Hello. - Hello, it's been a while.
(Episode 387: He finished 1L of water at once.)
He's not stopping?
Oh, my.
(Has he cut down a bit?)
Have you cut down on the water and coffee?
I got rid of the big bottle.
- Good for you. - That's a relief.
And currently, I'm trying my best to cut down on the coffee.
You have to listen to him.
Please show us the photo.
- He used to be like that. - That's him.
(Surprised)
He used be like that, but he has changed.
I was 150kg.
I'm currently about 83kg.
- You lost about 70kg. - Right.
Right.
Frankly speaking, I can understand him as well.
When I used to be big, my parents gave me...
appetite suppressants.
They even beat me for me to lose weight.
But they were all meaningless.
But in my case, the doctor told me...
that I could die before I turned 20 if I didn't lose weight.
(His doctor told him he could die before he reached 20.)
(The shock motivated him.)
That's when I came to my senses and decided to lose weight.
Do you have absolutely no intention to lose weight?
As of now, no.
Earlier, you talked about spraining your ankles...
as if it's nothing serious.
In my case,
I injured my ankles so many times that I had to get surgery.
Now I don't have any ligaments in my ankles.
That's right.
(I see.)
(She's shocked.)
- He fell often. - My back is in a lot of pain too,
so I am taking narcotic analgesic.
If you don't lose weight, you might have to...
live your life taking medicine.
And you could also die. Are you okay with that?
I think that's a problem.
Right.
We are not talking about someone else, you see.
You have to realize how serious this is.
You have to be aware how grave your situation is.
When you used to eat a lot, did you eat a lot like him?
He mentioned the eat-all-you-can place.
I got kicked out from an eat-all-you-can place.
You were worse than him.
The owner said, "I think you are eating too much."
"I want you to leave now."
Really?
- You were worse. - You got kicked out.
I lost weight, so I'm sure that he can...
- lose weight too. - Of course.
It seems like you think that this is not a serious problem.
You must lose weight now.
When you enter college or get a job,
you won't have time.
So make sure you lose the weight now.
Yes.
He said a lot of good things.
Son, how do you feel now?
I am starting to think that I should perhaps lose weight.
(She's glad to hear it.)
I am glad to hear that. Other people have no right to say it.
But he has the right to tell you.
- He has the right. - He does.
What kind of a person do you want to be when you grow up?
Do you have a dream?
I like making people laugh, and I like eating.
I love playing games too.
I want to become a YouTuber.
What will you channel be about? About game or eating?
I will mostly play games. When it's time to eat, I will eat.
(He can't believe it.)
That's what I will do.
- You will eat while playing games. - Game, eat, game, eat.
Game, eat, game, eat.
To help him get started with his channel,
- I bought him a 3,000-dollar... - It costs around that much.
computer.
In the past, he used to go to an internet cafe.
But now he just plays games at home and sleeps.
- No. No. - He doesn't even wash himself.
In case of his glasses,
I wiped them for him today.
He never wipes the lenses. They become murky.
I can see even if I don't wipe the lenses.
(His laziness is at another level.)
Have you done a livestream?
I have done it, but nobody came to watch my show.
And I stopped doing it.
Many people dream about earning money...
while playing games and eating.
But too many people are doing it, so it's tough to survive.
In order to make money out of it, you need talent...
that sets you apart from the others.
Many people judge you based on your appearance.
So you should think more realistically...
and find something else you are good at.
Since you are on Hello, why don't you broadcast...
the journey of you losing weight?
Show everyone that you are willfully losing weight.
Then more people will watch your show.
- All right. - When you lose a lot of weight,
we should play a game together once.
That's a big honor.
Let's not be ambiguous. Tell us the number.
You weigh 110kg right now. How much weight will you lose?
- Just a little bit. - It's your decision.
(Will her son be able to make up his mind?)
90kg.
(He's changed.)
- Is that the first goal weight? - 90kg.
(She's touched.)
It's his first time to give an answer like that.
We have to set the due date.
Otherwise, he might lose the weight when he's 40.
He might do that.
- When he's 70, - I can tell.
"I reached my goal weight of 90kg."
We would all be dead by then.
None of us would be able to see it.
White Day.
- No. - Let's give him a year.
- A year is too long. - Next...
Summer? How about Children's Day?
- May 5. - May 5 is perfect.
- Children's Day is perfect. - It's nice.
- Make a decision here. - It will be a gift for himself.
It can't be April Fool's Day.
(By when will he hit 90kg?)
- White Day. - White Day?
White Day?
You are aware when White Day is, right?
I am aware.
It's his first time.
It's his first time to say that he's going to lose weight.
I am glad we came out here.
You have to be firm too.
I will be firm and help him.
(I hope we can play together.)
Let's start with Do Hyun.
In the past, Hong Suk Chun said this.
If you dedicate a year to make your body as fit as possible,
even when you get older, you remember how satisfying...
it was to look at yourself in the mirror.
And it makes you to stay fit.
I hope you will experience succeeding to lose weight.
Suk Chun said this too.
He said Do Hyun is his type.
(He gets dizzy.)
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Congratulations.
It's something he can do, so it's not a very serious worry.
- Okay. - Yes.
I hope he will use this as a chance...
to firmly make up his mind.
I think he will use this day to become a better version of himself.
I think it's a small worry.
If you sympathize with his mother, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up.
What would you like to say to your parents before we end?
I hope you will stay healthy.
Say something longer.
You eat for a long time. Why talk so shortly?
For the first time in my life, I will try to lose weight.
Please have faith in me.
(Please have faith in him. He can do it.)
Cheers.

"His Obsession with Cleanliness".
Hello.
I am a man in his 30s who runs an event company.
We are always busy running around at the events.
"Did you find it?" "No. I can't see it yet."
"Hurry up and find it. Expand the parameters to 3kms and look."
"I found it!"
What did we find?
It is a bidet.
There is a man in our team who can't use the bathroom without a bidet.
He's obsessed with the bidet.
(Pushing)
How can he be so good?
"I will drop by my house."
"What's wrong?" "My stomach hurts."
"I can't go on the business trip because they don't have a bidet."
"Can't you wipe it with a wet wipe?"
"What? It feels like there's still poop on my bottom."
"I can never do that."
Nobody can change his mind when it comes to a bidet.
Please make him stop his obsession.
(Stop being obsessed with the bidet.)
Seul Gi, don't you have a funny story like this to tell us?
- Has anything like this happened? - When...
I was in school, I couldn't use the school toilet.
- Why? - When I was young,
going to a toilet with a roll of toilet paper was...
I felt...
- embarrassed doing that. - That's possible.
So I left school early.
My goodness.
Right.
Let's bring in the guest. Please come on out.
(Who is the person worried about his colleague?)
(Kim Jae Woo)
(He slides down nicely.)
What is your relationship to the man who is obsessed with the bidet?
Right now, I own the company...
that sends event MC to various events.
He's been working with me for four years.
- He's an MC then. - Yes.
How serious is he? Does he never go to the toilet without a bidet?
- Usually, people... - If you are in a hurry...
When you are in a hurry, you have to go.
- Right. You should. - Why is a bidet important?
He never...
- Never. - goes to the toilet...
- Never. - if there is no bidet.
- Even if he's in a hurry? - Even if he's in a hurry.
In the middle of an event, we had coffee.
There were some other employees too.
Suddenly, he started to sweat a lot.
It was obvious that he had to poop.
He looked like that.
So everyone spread out...
and tried to look for a bidet.
- This happens many times. - Does it happen often?
- Yes. - It must affect your work.
It seriously affects the work.
To send 30 employees to various events nationwide,
I need to adjust everyone's schedule.
I can only send him...
to a place where there is a bidet.
So I end up sending another employee to another event...
in a further away location.
Other employees get affected.
Other people must complain.
- Sometimes, it's held in a field. - Right.
They sometimes build a stage in the middle of a wild plain.
Most places wouldn't have a bidet, unless it's a hotel.
Right. There are outdoor events,
and we do events abroad as well.
He can never go to those events.
Since it was causing so much trouble,
I recommended using a portable bidet.
Is there a portable bidet?
It's basically wet wipes.
- Wet wipes that melt in water. - The ones that melt in water.
- Right. - How do you know it well?
I always carry it with me.
Right.
It's much better than using toilet paper.
I am sorry, but I heard about the reason why he carries it.
I heard you carry that because...
you once pooped at Lee Byung Hun's place.
- You pooped in their bathroom. - That's not it.
Byung Hun, Min Jung, I, and some other people...
were drinking at their place.
My stomach felt funny, and I thought I had gas.
So I went to the bathroom,
and it turned out it wasn't a fart.
(It wasn't gas.)
What did you do?
What would I do?
I said, "Min Jung, please give me a pair of underwear."
"An expensive one."
- Let's meet this obsessed man. - People make such mistakes.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
He's handsome.
You came to KBS.
How was it?
Fortunately, there was a bidet.
There's a bidet at KBS.
- So... - KBS bidet is...
famous among celebrities. It's famous for being strong.
I thought so. That's why I got my business done well.
- Right? - How can one be so happy?
When you go somewhere, there are times when you find a bidet...
- that suits you so well. - Water pressure and...
- Right. - shape are just perfect.
When you find the perfect bidet,
you unintentionally groan.
(Groaning)
(Laughing)
- Right. - It's so perfect.
Do you really refuse to use the bathroom if there is no bidet?
Yes. I tend to hold it.
I hold it for 3 to 4 hours.
After holding it for such a long time,
I once pooped my pants.
(Oh, dear.)
Isn't it better to poop at a toilet without a bidet...
than to poop your pants?
the cubicle with the bidet had a long queue.
You were waiting in the queue.
I couldn't hold it anymore,
and it came out.
And it was the watery...
kind too.
Why would you say it so specifically?
Why would you tell us the details?
We can fill in the details ourselves.
(He doesn't get embarrassed.)
Why are you so obsessed with the bidet?
I've been using a bidet since I was seven.
(He first used a bidet when he was seven.)
- I used it for over 20 years. - Your family was well-off.
When I first used it,
I realized that it washes...
not only the outside of the anus...
but also the inside.
After experiencing that,
I fell in love with that aspect.
You can't forget the first time you ever used a bidet.
Yes. So now,
I can't get my business done without the bidet.
Bidet is like my best friend.
It's become that important.
(He is unbelievable.)
Then what did you do...
when you were in school?
There was no bidet.
So when I couldn't hold it anymore,
I left school early.
Did you run into Seul Gi on the way home?
"Are you going home too?"
(They both went home to go to the bathroom.)
(They could have met.)
What was the longest time you held it for?
I once held it for a week.
(No way.)
How can you hold it?
(That's unbelievable.)
I was still really young, so I just kept holding it.
- No way. - After holding it for so long,
I've reached a point where I couldn't walk anymore.
- Of course. - My parents came...
and thought my appendix burst.
Because you said your stomach hurt too badly?
Yes. They rushed me to an emergency room.
It turned out my appendix didn't burst.
The doctor said my poop solidified.
- It hardened like a rock. - It hardened like a rock.
Did you get an enema at the emergency room then?
Enema...
Please pronounce it clearly.
Don't pronounce it in a provocative way.
(He was just trying to hide the embarrassment.)
I got an enema. They used a hose to get it out.
It was hard like a stone.
All right. We get it.
Did you serve in the military?
- Right. We are curious. - How did you survive that?
Yes. I served in the military.
Those two years were the toughest times...
- of my life with a bidet. - "My life with a bidet".
There was no bidet in the army base.
So I changed the pattern...
and decided to get it done before a shower.
- That's what I thought. - In the army.
It feels good only when the inside...
(He doesn't know shame.)
(What was that?)
It feels good only when the inside...
of anus is washed.
But I couldn't do that with the shower.
So it was a nuisance to me.
By the way, there are wet wipes that melt in the water.
Can't you use that?
When you use the wipes,
you can't wash... Is it called "rectum"?
You can't wash the rectum.
You like putting water inside the rectum...
and emptying everything.
- Is that what you want? - Yes.
I have to wash like that.
That's why it doesn't feel clean enough when he doesn't use bidet.
- Right. - I heard there's a portable bidet.
I've looked it up.
It doesn't release much water.
There's not enough water.
It has only a little bit of water.
I use a lot of water.
But it has only a small amount of water.
Do you like everything else clean too?
- I do. - When you get married,
you are going to nag your wife to clean everything.
(He feels guilty.)
- I'm not obsessed with cleanliess. - Really?
I am the same as other people,
but I am particularly sensitive about holes.
Ears, nose,
and bottom. I am particularly sensitive about those holes.
I use three cotton swabs when I clean my ears.
- When I... - Ears, nose, and lips.
Aren't your holes supposed to be clean?
Shouldn't the inside of your body be clean?
That's what I think.
He's obsessed about that.
He's obsessed about his hygiene.
Just hearing about it is uncomfortable, isn't it?
Right.
- It's not nice. - He doesn't realize that...
it makes people uncomfortable,
and becomes a nuisance by constantly talking about it.
It's done damage to our work too.
When you hold an event,
whether the music is on or off...
- makes a big difference. - If there's no music,
- the cheerful mood dies down. - That would be very bad.
I once took him with me, and I asked him to play music.
It was in the middle of an event.
And music suddenly stopped in the middle.
The music got cut off.
When I looked for him, he wasn't there.
He didn't come back until the event ended.
He must've been out looking for a bidet.
He was going around looking for a bidet.
That's doing damage to the work.
- That is doing damage. - That is.
My stomach was hurting a little bit when it started.
I held it until the middle.
I sent him a sign, but he didn't see me.
I felt sorry, but I had to go.
When I came back, the event was already over.
I got into a lot of trouble then.
He asked me what kind of a person I am.
- He asked if I was playing. - But he understands you,
and he is close to you.
So it's fine now. But I think...
it must affect your social life.
I really want to change this habit.
I don't know how.
I tried using the bathroom...
at a toilet without a bidet.
I only took a box of tissues.
I used up one entire box of it.
It still didn't feel clean.
You used an entire box?
Yes.
So I went back home and used a bidet.
(He's frustrated.)
Is it just a feeling that there is residue?
Or is there actual residue?
It's not just feeling.
Doesn't the toilet paper get dirty when you wipe it?
When I tried it, it came out dirty every time.
How do you wipe it?
You spent one box of tissues and every sheet came out dirty?
That would be really scary.
(It would be scary if the tissue keeps getting dirty.)
"Poop keeps coming out!"
(Being attacked by poop would be terrifying and shocking.)
I think he might bleed.
The tissue just never comes out clean.
(Please stop.)
Is there a kind of bidet you prefer?
I only use it for rinsing my bottom.
How do you like the water pressure...
and the temperature?
Joy finally became curious.
I prefer it cold.
- You use cold water? - You use cold water?
Yes. I use cold water. And I use medium water pressure.
If it's too hot,
it hurts when your poop is really big.
- It stings. - Goodness.
I don't want to hear it!
- Please stop. - It's torturing.
I am just like Dong Yeob.
I always tell him that I don't want to hear it.
He says those things without any hesitation.
He does these hand gestures too.
One time, everyone was having coffee.
He suddenly did this in front of a female staff.
(What was that?)
He put chocolate here.
Chocolate.
After putting chocolate here...
That's what they do when they sell bidet on a home shopping channel.
He must've watched it.
"I will wipe it with a wet wipe. Is it clean?"
"No. If you use water pressure to clean it,"
"it becomes clean." He starts from there.
He talks about these things when we are eating...
- or when we are drinking. - When you are eating?
The female staff hates hearing it.
I asked them to come here with me.
But they said they don't want to say dirty things on TV.
Then is the person sitting next to him his friend?
- She's his friend. - I am a close friend.
You are close friend.
Does he always talk about bidet?
Yes. when we weren't that close,
we went to a cafe.
He said he was going to use the bathroom.
I told him to go.
He didn't come back even after 30 minutes.
So I thought he just left me there.
When I called him,
he hesitated for a while and then said he was at a hotel.
I asked him why he suddenly went to a hotel...
when he was with me.
Hotels usually have bidets.
I thought he was a strange person.
I thought he was just a clean person.
But seeing him still being this way makes me think it's serious.
You must've been surprised.
I heard he puts chocolate on his hand...
- and does a demonstration. - He...
He tells me that a lot too.
He talks as if he's promoting bidet.
He says we need to use bidet...
to keep the colon clean.
When he says that while eating,
- it's disgusting. - I know.
Did you leave food?
(She hesitates.)
I...
That's not the important part here.
- "Did you leave food?" - "Did you leave food?"
If my friend made me leave food, I wouldn't be able to forgive him.
I would stop being friends with him.
(I would lose my appetite.)
There must be some people...
who are not okay with it. Some people wouldn't understand.
I once planned to go to Europe with my friend.
I asked him we should go to Thailand or Laos,
since they have bidets.
Europe doesn't have bidets.
In Europe, hotels are expensive,
so we would stay at inns or guesthouses.
but they don't have a bidet.
After the trip to Laos,
there was a posting on social media...
about top three friends you must avoid,
and he said...
I was one of them.
But he didn't say that to me.
Then we stopped talking.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Can you ask him nicely?
You're like, "Do you have a girlfriend..."
- "when you use a bidet?" - No.
(Your expression said that.)
No, have you ever had...
- a fight or broke up... - Right.
with your girlfriend because of it?
When I go on a date,
I stay near hotels or go to places with bidets.
That why I feel comfortable.
I think she broke up...
because she got sick of it.
She probably wanted to try other stuff...
- and go camping or something. - He can't.
- He can't even use an inn. - No.
"Don't go home tonight." Then they go to Sokcho,
- and eat something delicious. - Yes.
I don't think of anything weird.
I did think of something weird.
I could tell. That's how different we are.
Since you do want to change it,
we asked a professional.
They say...
you might be having some kind of obsession.
Even if you don't excrete...
for hygiene,
you need to practice sitting on a regular toilet.
Whether you use the bidet or not,
the toilet and your butt have a lot of bacteria.
It's important to wash your hands after.
That's more important.
Even if you don't use it,
you should make a habit of sitting on a regular toilet,
to get rid of your obsession.
I think his overall mentality is really important.
I agree with you.
- He needs to apply that... - Right.
and think a regular toilet is still a bidet.
- "It's a bidet." - So,
people can get used to anything.
Since you lose a lot because of it,
you should try to fix it.
(I'll try to fix it.)
(Please)
Do you have the will to put some effort?
Before I came here,
I wanted to be a bidet missionary...
to advertise bidets...
so that every bathroom would have one.
But after listening to you,
I think there are things that I need to change too.
You know the wet wipes for a toilet?
When you use that,
it's very clean.
You should trust me and try.
Okay.
Can you show me how to use it?
Do a demonstration with your hand.
Your boss likes everything else about you.
Say something to your employee.
Let me say something as a friend.
For your health,
stop getting stressed and work on your mind control.
I hope you don't need to worry about that anymore.
Once you stop worrying about it, I hope you go out...
and make some money.
So, don't be limited by the place.
Go anywhere even without the bidet.
Then let's start with Jo Han.
I don't think it's a worry.
Then don't press it.
What's sad is that...
there are many great things in life.
- You should go check out Europe. - Right.
If you stop calculating and give up,
you'll be able to have better experiences.
Right.
I don't think it's a worry.
When things get extreme, you relax.
- It's nothing to worry about. - Of course.
You end up changing your perspective.
- I think it's a worry for the boss. - It's a worry.
I believe...
he needs to face it for his coworkers.
- That's good advice. Faker. - Yes.
I think it's a worry.
I think it's a worry for him.
If you think it's a worry,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up!
Say something to your boss who is worried.
There's also a portable bidet. It's light and compact.
Even if I have to bring a bucket with me,
I will put in the effort, it will slowly get better.
- I'm planning to take a slow step. - Right.
Let's check the result. "His Obsession with Cleanliness".
Please show us the result.
(The result)
Is it over 100?
It's over 100.
Will it outdo "The Man from Joseon"?
(Will it outdo "The Man from Joseon"?)
- 123 votes. - 123 votes.
- That's a lot. - That's a lot.
So, "The Man from Joseon" wins.
The winner will receive prize money. Congratulations.
Until the day we are all worry-free.
Hello will continue to counsel you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
