I'll introduce our today's guests.
Hong Suk Chun!
Hello.
She's Suk Chun's soulmate. Wax!
(Wax with a sweet voice)
Hong Jin Young!
(Happy virus, Hong Jin Young)
The rising stars, Mi Na and Ha Na of Gugudan!
(Mi Na and Ha Na of Gugudan)
Didn't Suk Chun and Wax...
- come here together last time? - They always come together.
Yes, they did.
I have no problem with it,
but Wax seems to have a lot to complain.
I think maybe I'm still single because of Suk Chun.
He's interested in men...
- more than I do. - Hey.
I feel like this mysterious energy of his is...
- stopping me from dating a man. - Right.
I want to set Jin Young up with a nice guy,
- but I won't do that for Wax... - Why?
I want to keep her by my side.
- Why? - For no reason?
As I said before, he's suspicious.
Is he not?
What kind of man would you like to introduce to Jin Young?
Among Korean Wave stars,
- Who? - many men like Jin Young.
- Who are they? - Who?
- Give us a hint. - Are they all popular?
- His drama is airing now. - My goodness.
- Just tell us his initials. - Do you not know?
- Really? - For example, "Mr. A".
- Jin Young says she doesn't know. - Tell us his initials.
- Would you like to meet him? - Well, I'm always open.
- You should be. - What's your ideal type?
I like a man who makes me feel comfortable around him.
- I see. - Pick among TV celebrities.
Among TV celebrities. I just want to be comfortable around him.
- You don't care about his face? - Do you want a man lying down?
He must feel comfortable.
(Contact me, Korean Wave star.)
Wax released a new song. Many people were waiting.
I think my new song suits winter well.
- What's the song title? - It's "Silly You".
Could you sing a capella here for us?
- Just a little bit. - Okay.
(Even though a long time passed,)
(she still has the same sweet voice.)
(It's so nice.)
(Suk Chun's energy interrupts her again.)
(The standard for breakup songs)
- She's amazing. - Indeed.
- She's incredible. - It's so good.
- Wax has her own unique voice. - It's so good.
Jin Young picked up her mic.
- She also released a new song. - I released a new song too.
(Everyone, get ready.)
- Play the music. - My goodness.
("Goodbye" by Hong Jin Young)
(Goodbye)
(Gently waving her arm)
(It's so exciting.)
(Everybody, ready!)
Everybody
(Don't cry)
(The excitement reaches its peak.)
Thank you.
(Gugudan's new song will be revealed as well.)
("The Boots" by Gugudan)
That's good.
(She looks gorgeous.)
(She makes their hearts flutter.)
(They're back with girl crush charms!)
(We hope everyone's new songs will be big hits.)
We have three worries today.
I wonder what they are. Show us the keywords please.
Here are today's keywords.
- "I'm Living with a Time bomb". - "Look at Me Please!"
- "The Man Who Works at Night". - You'll read that story, right?
Of course I will. All right.
"I'm Living with a Time Bomb".
Hello. I'm a married woman in my 30s.
I live in Namhae in South Gyeonsang Province.
I've been feeling betrayed for seven years since I got married.
Before I got married...
The phone rings. "Honey, what are you doing?"
"I want to see you so much. Shall I go to see you now?"
The phone rings. "Honey, did you go home safely?"
"Sleep well. I love you."
He was such a sweet and attentive man.
I fell in love with him and married him.
Since we got the approval of our parents and got married,
I've been more intimidated than anyone else all this time...
- as my husband completely changed. - I see.
"Honey, don't turn your shirts inside out when you take them off."
"Hey! Mind your own business!"
- He startled me. - "What about you?"
"Do you think you're good at doing everything?"
My husband turned into the Hulk.
Yelling at me all the time isn't enough for him.
"Honey, what's wrong with you? I can't stand this anymore."
"Gosh. I'm still living with you because I'm generous."
"Who else would live with you?"
That's ridiculous.
- He's unbelievable. - I cried so many times...
because my husband felt like a total stranger.
Don't you think this is a marriage fraud?
Please help my husband return to his old self.
Are you preparing to film a movie lately?
- Why? - Your acting skills have improved.
How much have they improved?
- This much. - Is that so?
I'm not preparing to film a movie.
That was great.
All the three of Hello's male hosts are married.
Haven't you changed at all?
I think my head got a little bigger...
(There has been no change other than that.)
- since I got married. - Right.
Let me ask our female guests. How would you feel if you were her?
I would do the same.
- You would change too? - I would completely change too.
You would fight with him.
Jin Young, what about you?
I think I would try to convince him.
- You would make an effort? - Yes. I'd try first.
- What if that doesn't work? - She should say goodbye to him.
(Goodbye)
If it doesn't work, I should let him go.
Or we could sleep in separate bedrooms.
Do you mean you'll punish him by doing that?
Well, you can say that.
I think Wax would suffer inside without letting it out.
- You're right. - You wouldn't complain.
I think I would have mental issues such as anxiety.
- I would feel nervous all the time. - Does she usually not complain?
Wax is a little afraid she might meet a man like him.
He keeps touching her hand while talking.
He touches both men and women comfortably.
- This is reverse discrimination? - That's not fair.
We all are discriminated.
He does whatever he wants.
Stop it.
She must be worried as she's been living like this for seven years.
Let's meet our guest. Please come out!
(Kang Ji Ah)
Hello, hello.
(Suk Chun came to escort her.)
My gosh.
(Groaning)
What was that?
Our guest, please escort Suk Chun instead.
Why did he go in there?
Did he really completely change after you got married?
We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon.
He kept complaining during our honeymoon.
- I walked on eggshells around him. - During your honeymoon?
Yes, during our honeymoon.
Since we were on our honeymoon, I wanted to enjoy it.
- I tried to make him feel better. - You talked to him.
- But he said, "Stop it!" - Gosh.
You startled me.
- Does he yell at you like that? - Yes.
Are you an aspiring actress?
- It's true. - I see.
When he's upset, the look in his eyes changes.
- Goodness. Look at her eyes. - When he's angrier,
I feel like he would beat me up if I were a man.
He could have reasons for getting mad...
- I don't know that. - You don't know that?
When I asked him about that,
he said, "What? What do you want?"
"Mind your own business. It's not like you're perfect."
- That's how he responses usually. - That's the cheapest way.
- You can't have a conversation. - Our neighbour downstairs asked...
why he yells at home so often.
She said she could hear him yelling from her house,
and it's more stressful than hearing my children running around.
Was he really not like that before you married him?
- No, he wasn't. - Was he sweet to you?
I used to live in Busan,
and my husband is from Namhae.
Since we were in a long-distance relationship,
we saw each other through a video call every day.
He said he loved me and how pretty I was.
He treated me like a princess.
What I'm wondering about is...
You said you dated him for about a year.
- She didn't notice that. - Didn't you notice it at all?
Back then, he came all the way to Busan 3 or 4 times a week...
- to see me. - He made a lot of effort.
Just to see my face for a while.
He even developed facial nerve paralysis.
Facial nerve paralysis?
- He visited you that often? - Because he visited you too often?
He should've refrained himself.
You must've felt betrayed so much after you got married...
as he showed his true personality.
Even though he's my husband, when I'm with him in the same place,
- You feel nervous. - I feel nervous.
- That's not good. - Are you afraid of him?
Even when I hear him entering the passcode of the door,
- my heart starts pounding. - My goodness.
- He'll probably yell at you. - That's how I feel.
- While you were talking to us, - That's too harsh.
I noticed how you were...
trying not to upset the hosts.
Were you always like that?
Or did you change after marrying him?
I wasn't like this before. I was quite confident,
and I liked to stand before others.
- You seem to be cheery. - I used to be cheery.
When I talk about this matter to others like this,
I worry about my husband more than anyone else.
Her husband is sitting right in front of her.
- He's sitting right there. - Even while talking to us...
- She can't look at him. - I don't look at him.
Let's meet her husband and find out why he behaves like that.
Hello. It's nice to see you.
Hello. It's nice to meet you all.
- He looks confident. - He looks like a nice person.
- He looks like a nice person. - Exactly.
- He looks so kind. - Why does he look so cheerful?
- Other people like him. - He looks so gentle.
Do you understand why your wife is worried?
I don't understand her at all.
- I knew it. - I think we're living happily.
- What did he say? - He thinks they're living happily.
- Do you think so? - Yes.
But your wife said you changed completely...
after you two got married.
Namhae is a rural area. Only a few people...
know about the area.
However, I was introduced to a Busan woman.
I wanted to make her mine by any means.
I told myself to...
do everything I could to bring her to Namhae.
So I held back my anger while dating her.
Isn't that kidnapping?
Are you saying you were holding back for that year?
- He said he held back. - He hid his true personality.
Just for one year.
Some men become gentle...
because of their wives.
Did you return to your old self after you got married?
I didn't change because of her.
- Are you saying... - Why...
that you never refrained yourself since then?
Well, we've already gotten married.
- You don't feed the fish... - How could he say that?
that you've already caught, right?
You can't say such a thing when there are so many women here.
(How could he say such a thing in front of so many women?)
(Do you have a problem?)
He's surprised too.
- You guys empathize with me. - He stared at the audience.
- No, I don't. - He's bad.
How disappointed would your wife be when you put it like that?
- Of course. - She must be upset.
She didn't tell me that so often.
- So you didn't know? - I didn't know.
I wouldn't have been afraid to tell you that if I were her.
- You'd probably yell at me. - You would say, "What do you want?"
That's possible.
However, from my perspective,
two different people are living together,
so we should yield to each other.
I yielded very much to her.
- What did you do? - How?
Can you elaborate for us?
As she must be missing her family, we visited her parents often.
I tried to be a good son-in-law to her parents.
Anyway, she's worried because you changed too much,
and you get angry so often.
Why do you get mad?
It's true that I'm short-tempered.
However, most of men from Gyeongsang Province are tough,
but don't hold a grudge.
So I... She's also from Gyeongsang Province...
and throws a tantrum from time to time.
At least, I don't hit her.
What are you talking about? Of course you must not hit her.
How did you feel while listening to your husband?
I can't hear anything.
Your husband just said he has done nothing wrong.
- For example, you're stressed... - Right.
When we have a problem like that,
I try to talk it out nicely, but he just get mad.
I can't go on.
- He yells when you talk to him. - While...
she was listening to her husband,
she could've been angry saying, "How could he be so brazen?"
Or she could have...
expressed her anger in some way,
but she couldn't even look at him. She seemed only anxious.
You proudly said that you never hit her.
But you're completely wrong about it.
Menacing stares can be a form of violence,
and verbal abuse is also a serious domestic violence.
It hurts her feelings so much.
- Why don't you imitate him? - How loudly does he yell?
How loudly does he yell?
To our children, he says,
"Be quiet!"
"You brats!" He yells like this.
- To the kids? - He yells at his kids?
- Yes, all of a sudden. - How does he yell at you?
- Show us. - He looks at my face, and says,
"What do you want me to do?"
(Startled)
- I'm sorry. - Gosh.
- I feel like I did something wrong. - Exactly.
Why do you yell at them?
I'm not sure.
I think that's just my personality.
Do you lose your temper?
Yes, I do. If she gives me time...
to think about it...
- So you can calm yourself. - Yes, so I can calm myself down.
But she doesn't give me any time to process it.
- You yell at your children too. - You must not yell at them.
How are you going to explain that?
That's how I discipline my children.
- You're just being strict? - Yes, I'm strict when necessary.
- But I make them feel better too. - Gosh.
What makes you so angry...
- or get on your nerves? - Right.
I come home late because I work at a construction site.
When I come home, all I see is the back of her head...
until we go to sleep.
She has to make meals, do the laundry,
fold the laundry, and do the dishes.
She works in the kitchen from 6pm to 9pm.
Then she has to bathe our kids and prepare to put them to sleep.
We have no time to have a conversation.
- So I... - What's the problem?
- He should help her... - She just looks after the kids...
and do the house chores.
- You could help her out. - She can't finish things quickly.
It's the same for the things others can finish quickly.
- It must be frustrating. - I approach her when she's working.
I once hugged her from behind.
- You hugged her? - Yes.
- She responded right away. - What did she say?
- "Get lost." - What?
Timing is very important.
- Of course. - That's right.
He didn't hug me when I was resting.
- I had so many things to do. - You were tired.
- He didn't even help you. - He didn't help her.
I apologized to him later.
Although he said he doesn't hold a grudge,
- but he couldn't seem to forget it. - That you told him, "Get lost"?
He looks like he holds a grudge.
- He takes your words to heart. - That's right.
It seems to me that he doesn't think it's a problem...
to get angry all the time.
When he's angry, he can't control himself.
- He becomes violent. - Give us an example.
One time, we went to see his family.
He did something to upset me, so I left alone.
I came home first.
When he came home afterwards,
he suddenly started kicking our TV.
He said, "You must look down on me. How could you leave like that?"
He yelled at me and made our house a mess.
That was before we had our children, so we were alone.
I was scared.
Since there was no one else I knew in Namhae,
I went to my parents-in-law's house.
I told my mother-in-law that I couldn't live with him anymore.
I stayed there for two days, but I had no choice...
because I found out that I was carrying my eldest son.
- Because of your child. - So I changed my mind.
Did you really smash the TV?
- Yes, I did. - Why?
We went to a meeting with my family.
My wife left during the meeting.
In that situation, I believe...
- it damaged my dignity. - You must've been embarrassed.
So I also left there and went home to find her.
She was at home.
I asked her why, and she explained to me.
I smashed the TV immediately even before I knew.
I just smashed it...
as if I was playing a game.
I regretted doing that the next day,
bought the same product, and replace the smashed one.
I can understand that you felt like you lost your dignity...
and you got angry in a situation like that,
but if you smashed the TV, that means you can't control your anger.
I don't think I'm that crazy that I can't control my anger.
You're wrong. You're that crazy.
Your behaviour was an indirect expression of...
- how you want to hit your wife. - That's right.
Smashing your TV equals smashing your wife.
It's a form of domestic violence.
Suk Chun, go easy on him.
He's short-tempered.
I've seen so many men like him.
- He looks... - He's angry.
- You look a little upset now. - He's angry.
He startled me by yelling.
What is your standard of being crazy?
Using violence.
- Do you mean hitting people? - Yes.
- Smashing a TV is also violence. - It's violence.
There must be a reason you left alone while meeting your in-laws.
- That's right. - It's understandable he was upset.
It was uncomfortable for me to be there...
since we just got married.
But he was comfortable around his family,
so he said whatever he wanted to say sitting comfortably.
When I made a mistake,
he said, "You never get anything done right."
He talked like this, and that hurt my pride so much.
- He looked down on you. - Yes.
In front of everyone?
There's another story. While we were eating with my in-laws,
I said my opinion.
He said, "Why did you meddle in without knowing your place?"
He should've support her idea.
Let's think about the opposite case. What if your wife...
- smashed the TV? - She smashed the TV?
How would that make you feel?
I always give back as much as I have received.
See?
When Suk Chun raised his voice just before,
you got upset immediately, right?
- Yes, I did. - See?
It made you upset, right?
I was upset.
Since you know you can beat Suk Chun,
you were only upset.
- But if you think about your wife, - She can't beat him.
she's afraid when a man who's bigger than her yells at her.
That's right.
Even if you're her husband.
While I was talking to the writer over the phone,
I couldn't remember exactly what happened...
when he smashed the TV, so I asked him.
I asked, "Do you remember why we fought that day?"
He said, "You were lucky that I didn't beat you up."
That's what he said.
What he said made me feel...
so angry that I thought that maybe I shouldn't come on the show.
What is your standard of being presumptuous?
What kind of behaviours do you consider as presumptuous?
She shouldn't meddle in the matters in my family.
I want her to know when to butt in or when not to.
If she says useless things without knowing her place,
it will backfire on us.
You shouldn't have said that right then.
- You should've said it at home. - I only gave her a look...
- to stop her. - What kind of look?
What kind of face did you make?
"That's enough."
(That's enough.)
You look so scary.
- You can't do that to your wife. - He's so scary.
You look so scary.
(How could he look at his wife like that?)
You should've told her that you would explain to her later...
because it's a complicated matter.
You should have explained to her. Why did you tell her to stop?
I explained everything in one word, "Stop."
- I mean... - You shouldn't do that.
Imagine your wife does the same to you.
"Stop." How would you feel?
"Okay."
- You're lying. - You'd get angry.
- You wouldn't do that. - The thing is...
Look at him. He's glaring at the audience now.
Why do you put up with it when your husband gets angry?
If I get angry too, we'll end up fighting.
We're the same age, but his ideas are as old as my father's.
He lives in the Joseon dynasty period.
- Does he think men are superior? - Yes.
- "Men are the sky..." - Exactly.
He speaks in a commanding tone.
He thinks women should not be more successful than men.
He thinks women who are more successful than men...
- They'd look down on men. - look down on men.
"I wouldn't have married you if you were more successful than me."
- He said that to me. - He married you because you're not?
- Why did you say that? - I was joking.
- He thinks he was joking, but... - Hear me out.
Go on.
Think about TV programs...
that handle marriage problems.
Women who are smart, have a good educational background,
or have a lot of money seem to...
look down on their husbands.
I was talking about that.
Is that why you chose your wife?
- That's not true. - Because she's not successful?
That's not true. Even when I joke,
she gets offended.
When I talk seriously, she frowns.
- Do you feel inferior to her? - No.
- You don't? - No.
You're supposed to admire and respect your wife to some extent.
Most men are attracted to...
beautiful women, right?
We have female singers...
- Gugudan. - here today.
- Jin Young and Wax. - I think my wife is the prettiest.
- You think she's the prettiest? - Yes.
- My wife is number one for me. - Why didn't you mention Wax?
- Pardon? - Why did you skip over Wax?
You said Gugudan and Jin Young are pretty.
What about Wax?
- Suk Chun. - Yes?
He skipped over me too.
(Funny)
There's nothing to be disappointed.
I work too.
- You work? - Yes.
I work, but...
- You earn money too. - Yes.
But he doesn't think I can make much money.
He basically looks down on you.
Don't you feel bad?
I might be a bit patriarchal.
My wife works at paediatric department now.
She's a nurse. Before, she worked at the radiology department.
There were only guys at her old workplace.
I understand that they can have team dinners.
But she asked my parents to babysit our kids.
She drank until late, and she sang and danced with guys.
All her colleagues were guys.
She was the only woman.
I hated it.
Whenever there's a team dinner, I become stressed out.
Because your husband will get annoyed?
Yes. I know we'll get in a fight.
I become restless at the dinner.
Your husband says you drink until late.
No. It's not true.
- He said you danced. - No.
I stayed out until late only one time.
Just because my colleagues were guys,
- he speaks that way. - She says it was only one time.
I didn't say she did it many times.
You talked like...
Were your parents very conservative?
We're affected by our parents a lot.
Yes. My father...
was very patriarchal. I learned from him.
Was he mean to your mother?
- Yes. - Didn't it make you...
question your father...
and feel sorry for your mother?
I felt that way. I sometimes complain...
to my father about it.
Then why are you doing the same thing to your wife?
It's my character.
In my early 30s,
I ran a construction company.
- A lot of my employees were old. - Right.
Most of them were in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.
To lead people that are older than me,
I had to be a bit aggressive.
And I've become used to it.
You seem to have two sons.
Aren't you worried your sons will be...
- affected by you too? - Have you thought about it?
Because I didn't like the way my father treated my mother,
I think I try to be different from him.
- From your father. - Yes.
I think I'm an upgraded version of him.
I believe my sons will be an upgraded version...
of me as well.
If they keep seeing how you act,
- they might learn from it... - You should try to change.
- unconsciously. - Upgrade?
What do you mean, they'll be an upgraded version?
(They'll be an upgraded version?)
They're not cell phones.
What kind of dad is he?
Kids are kids. They're not grown-ups.
You should try to see things from kids' perspective.
But when kids fail to do as he says,
he scolds them like in the military.
He yells at them.
1 day, my 7-year-old son said to me, crying,
"When Dad yells at me, my heart beats fast."
- Oh, my. - He must have been shocked.
Let me tell you what was the most shocking to me.
I think my eldest son was four back then.
He was very little.
My husband grabbed him by the collar.
He grabbed him by the collar and dragged him around.
I was so shocked my hands were shaking.
I tried to stop him.
He said, "Be quiet. I'm his dad."
"I want to discipline him in my way."
I didn't want to get in a fight.
Do you grab your sons by the collar?
I was scolding him...
- for his own sake. - I understand.
But he talked back...
and threw things at me.
(He threw things at him.)
I didn't grab him by the collar.
If I grab him by the back of his neck, he'd choke.
I couldn't grab him by the collar either.
So I grabbed him around the stomach.
But...
His wife is so timid.
"He definitely grabbed him by the collar."
She said that?
Maybe his t-shirt was just pulled up to the neck.
Let's meet their eldest son. Hi.
- Hi. - Hello.
- Speak into the microphone. - Speak into the microphone.
- He's cute. - Let's give him a big hand.
(Nice to meet you.)
Please introduce yourself.
I'm Park Jeong Hyo.
- You're so cute. - How old are you?
- What? - How old are you?
I'm seven.
- You're seven? - You're seven?
Do you know why you're here today?
No.
- He's so cute. - "No."
How is the relationship between you and your dad?
- Are you close? - Yes.
- Do you like him? - Yes.
Aren't you scared of him?
(I like my dad.)
- No. - No?
Does your dad play with you often?
Yes.
What do you usually do together?
- When you... - I don't know.
Doesn't he get angry often?
He does.
(He states the fact cutely.)
He's so sweet.
- He's very clever and sweet. - Exactly.
Does his dad play with him often?
- Not very often. - Right?
I'm sure it's not very often.
"Does he play with you a lot?" "Yes."
But when we asked what they do together, he couldn't answer.
He was embarrassed. When we asked if his dad gets angry often,
he answered with his microphone away from his mouth.
(The microphone is away from his mouth.)
(Careful)
What does Dad do when he's angry?
He yells.
He yells?
Mom says she's scared when Dad yells.
She thinks he looks down on her.
- Do you think she's right? - Yes.
Do you think Mom is scared of Dad?
- Yes. - You...
(Nudging)
- Why do you do that? - Don't do that.
Kids are honest.
Did you tell Mom that...
your heart beats fast when Dad yells?
Does it really make your heart beat fast?
(Does it make you nervous?)
- Does it make you nervous? - Look.
Between Mom and Dad...
Is it harder for Mom...
or Dad?
Mom.
- Why? - Mom?
She has to do the dishes.
- Oh, my. - Oh, my.
- It's an unexpected answer. - It's...
- a kid's answer. - Mom does a lot of chores,
and Dad yells at her.
I heard your kids copy the things their dad says.
- Of course. - They do.
Kids copy everything.
Our second son was four.
He gathered other kids at the kindergarten...
and cursed them.
I was so embarrassed when his teacher called me.
I apologized. What I'm worried about the most is...
My husband grew up...
seeing his angry father.
As a result, they're not very close now.
- I'm worried... - You're worried about your sons.
our sons will be awkward with their dad too.
Your sons are cursing at the kindergarten.
Are they really upgraded?
As they're my children,
I talked to them the way I wanted.
And they copied me. In front of my kids,
I try not to say really bad things.
Some friends of mine...
say all kinds of things in front of their children.
But their children don't seem to copy them.
It's only our kids.
Why do you talk about others?
It doesn't seem like your husband will change.
I've been disappointed in him for a long time.
I even became depressed after giving birth to our second son.
- After giving birth. - As a solution,
I started working again.
- That's why you started working. - Yes.
But all I can do is work.
I can't even dream...
of enjoying a glass of beer with my friends on the weekend.
I only have...
my husband to depend on.
If he continues to be scary,
it will be a struggle for me.
Did you know about your wife's depression?
The company I was running went bankrupt.
I am still paying off the début that amounts to more...
than what people make in their lifetime.
I have visited the police station and prosecutor's office...
for investigations and trials.
Debt collectors have come to my house.
I have lamented over my life at my grandparents' graves.
I have even thought about killing myself.
I was in no position...
to look after my wife.
He is sorry.
Please say what you want to say to your husband.
- "My dear husband." - Honey.
Say a few words to your honey.
(Go ahead.)
Even in these situations, the pet name could be "Cupcake".
It's possible.
The couples who fight all the time...
- can use cute pet names. - That's right.
(We hope their relationship will improve.)
Be nicer to me. I love you.
Do you think it's a worry?
You should be a good influence to your children.
This is a worry.
I also think it's a worry.
Ji Ah's husband...
changes dramatically...
depending on whether he smiles or expresses anger.
- The different is too dramatic. - You look cute when you smile.
I hope you would be more considerate of your wife.
I also think it's a worry.
I hope you will live happily.
I think it's a big worry.
I hope you would speak...
more gently.
The situation will improve when time passes...
- under their joint effort. - That's right.
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.
Sir, say a few words to your wife.
Ji Ah, I will be good to you.
You should accept your fate.
- Fate? - Come on!
For goodness' sake.
- I will try to do better. - You made your son get up.
You should give her the details...
on how you will improve.
Call her "Cupcake".
Cupcake!
He becomes a scary man in an instant.
It's scarier when he does that.
- Ji Ah says it's scary. - I will try...
to shout less.
I will try to show my anger less. I didn't know...
so many people would hate it.
I am sorry.
I will be good to you. I love you.
All right.
(Keep your promises.)

"The Man Who Works at Night".
Hello, I am a housewife in my 40s who has been married for 7 years.
I haven't had a decent sleep ever since I got married.
My husband works as a chauffeur...
and doesn't get out of work until 3 or 4am.
The problem is, that's when my husband's day...
begins.
Ring, ring, ring.
"Where are you? It's 3am. Are you done with work?"
"Yes, I am done. I will go home after I eat gukbap."
He didn't come home by 7am.
"Hello? I am done with my meal. I will be home soon."
He didn't come home by 12pm.
"Hello?"
"I am really done with my meal. I will go home now."
He starts early in the morning and drinks at 4 or 5 places.
My goodness.
He drinks as late as 5pm.
(He drinks for 14 hours.)
- That means he drinks for 12 hours. - When does he sleep?
(Throwing up)
Does he throw up when it's time to sleep?
He often misses work...
due to a hangover.
This is how bad it gets.
"I can't believe you are drinking into the day again."
"Don't come home!"
Then he really didn't come home.
No matter how angry I get, it's useless.
Please stop my husband's nightly hobby.
(Please stop my husband's nightly hobby.)
- This is serious. - You know,
it would drive the wife crazy.
Let's talk to her.
Please come on out.
(Who is worried about her husband due to his drinking problems?)
Hello.
(She enters cheerfully with a V-sign.)
(Welcome.)
Here comes the customer.
All right.
Her hairstyle made me think she is another Yeong Ja.
(It's the latest trend.)
Please introduce yourself.
Hello, my name is Son Soon Ik and I am from Gyeongju.
Please tell us about your husband's day in details.
My husband runs a chauffeur service...
and works as a chauffeur himself at night.
He goes to work at 7pm...
and gets out of work around 3 or 4am.
That's when his day starts.
He meets up with his friends and co-workers...
to drink at a haejangguk place.
Then he goes to a karaoke in a cheerful mood.
- He goes to a karaoke. - At that hour?
Yes. He goes to a karaoke.
By then, pubs close.
Then he goes to a friend's house.
If he is late, he doesn't come home until 5pm.
- 5pm? - Yes.
Then he must have visited six different places.
He sleeps, wakes up, and goes to work.
Another day repeats.
Does he drink every day?
Yes, he does.
- He drinks every day. - Yes.
He can't go a day without drinking.
He would become a singer at this rate.
I don't know about that.
When he goes to a karaoke,
does he go with his male friends?
I don't know. I have no way of knowing.
You should look into it.
Men don't go to a karaoke by themselves.
- Really? - Yes.
If there are only men, will you join them?
What?
I might.
You must have talked to your husband...
about this matter.
Of course I have. When I talk to him,
he only stares into the distance.
When I tell him that we should talk, he goes, "Talk. I am listening."
He behaves like an elementary school student.
It stresses me out.
When I told him not to come home,
he really didn't come home.
For goodness' sake.
He really didn't come home.
He didn't come home until 3pm.
I caught him at his friend's place.
Did he say, "You told me not to come home"?
- Most people would apologize. - Yes.
He only stares at me shamelessly.
(You talk, I listen.)
I guess he doesn't shout at you.
He doesn't do that.
- Thank goodness. - Thank goodness.
It would have been a disaster otherwise.
Thank goodness.
(There is a man who does that.)
What worries you the most?
He drinks a lot...
even though he makes a living by driving.
I worry he will drink and drive.
That's right.
That's the biggest problem.
He can't sleep properly either.
I worry that he will doze off while he is driving.
- That's the biggest problem. - That's right.
(My days are filled with worries.)
Let's say hello to Soon Ik's husband. Hello.
Hello.
(Who doesn't come home from early morning to afternoon?)
Everyone in that seat is cheerful.
- It's on. - The microphone is on.
We always start off with this question.
Do you understand your wife's worry?
It can't be helped since my work ends late.
- Don't you understand her worry? - Don't you understand her worry?
No.
What?
No.
What?
(His answer is short and confident.)
What don't you understand?
I can't leave easily in the middle of the gathering.
What do you do during that time?
When I get off work, it's 3 or 4 am.
- I go to a haejangguk restaurant. - You drink soju.
Yes, I drink soju.
Then I go to a karaoke and stay there for three hours.
When the karaoke closes, there is nowhere to go.
- It's about 9am. - Yes. There is nowhere to go.
I go to my friend's place and drink some more.
Your wife could be understanding of you going to a karaoke.
Can't you go home afterwards?
- My co-workers... - They urge you to join them.
They urge me to join them.
Why do you go to a karaoke so often? Do you like singing?
Is it your dream to become a singer?
It's not my dream.
When you are in Gyeongju late at night,
there is nowhere to go.
- You have home! - Go home!
He says there is nowhere to go.
- You have a place to go. - Go home.
- You have a place to go. - You have home.
You have a family.
Why don't you invite your co-workers...
- drink at your place? - That's a good idea.
- Have you done that? - He has done that.
When they come home,
- they don't stop drinking at home. - Do they go out again?
They go out again.
Where do they go?
I don't know. It's not like I can follow him with a child.
Don't you feel tired if you drink into the day?
He must feel very tired.
I do feel tired.
I go to my day job...
because I have a boss.
In the evening, I can skip work because I am the boss.
You run the chauffeur service.
If you do that,
you won't make money that night.
- Right? - Yes.
So there is financial loss.
- There is a large financial loss. - In that case...
In that case...
What kind of a conversation are we having?
"I shouldn't be like this."
"I need money since my child is growing up."
- "I need to get a hold of myself." - "I drank too much."
"I should be more careful." Don't you have these thoughts?
I do, actually.
If I miss work,
I try to work harder the next day.
Since he acknowledges everything, we are at a loss for words.
Seriously.
Those types of men frustrate their wives the most.
- It's frustrating. - It's frustrating for her.
- Yes. - We have to pay back the loans.
We have monthly expenses. When he keeps losing work days,
we have no other ways to compensate for the lost income.
If he can't go to work, he could just stay home.
Does he drink again? Does he go out to drink?
When it becomes 12 midnight, he says, "Aren't you sleepy?"
"I will go and have some drinks." And he leaves home.
- He feels sober by that time. - Yes.
- He got some sleep. - What if she says she's not sleepy?
- Will you not go out then? - He will still go out.
She never said she's not sleepy.
Has he gone out when he's not feeling well?
The day he got an IV fluid...
- What? - He a bad hangover once,
- so he got an IV fluid shot. - And he went out again?
He should've rested at home, but his friend called him.
And he left again. So getting the IV fluid shot was useless.
We basically wasted money. We even bought medicine.
(He wastes money on drinking and on medicine.)
When your wife told you not to come home, were you thrilled?
At first, I went home, but she changed the password.
And she left a bundle of my things outside the door.
So I took the bundle and went to meet my friends.
You could knock on the door...
and ask her for forgiveness. You didn't think of doing that?
I've done that many times.
- He's done that many times. - But it never works.
It never works, so I gave up trying.
- That's why I just leave. - When you stay outside for a day...
and come home,
you don't yell at her or lose your temper, do you?
I am the one at fault, so I have nothing to say.
(That's not what a real man does, is it?)
Right.
- Wait. - He knows what he's done wrong...
and regrets it.
I think only his mouth and his fingers regret it.
- I don't know. - What's up with the fingers?
- He writes a written promise. - A written promise.
He says he's not going to do it again.
But he drinks again that night. He drinks again the next day.
- That's even harder. - That's more tiring.
Do you know what he says to his friends?
"It's okay. I can just write another written promise."
- That's what he says. - Right.
- It's useless. - Right.
"I can write 5,000 written promises."
- "I write promises so well." - That's it.
Please read it.
"Since this time and forth, I will not play..."
"nor go out."
"If I do go, I will neither be Ga Eun's father nor..."
- "Soon Ik's husband." - "Soon Ik's husband."
Look at that.
"I will not make anything bad happen because of money."
"I will not go out more than once a week."
"I will return home no later than 10pm."
He's got a nice handwriting.
I wrote that.
"I will not gamble with another people."
"If I break this promise, I will neither be a father nor a husband."
- He promised again. - "I will not gamble again."
- That was the third promise. - My gosh.
It's more like a diary he wrote to reflect on himself.
I want him to say sorry...
and that he won't do it again.
Written promises are useless.
All men are different.
Some men consider kneeling down the worst.
They have to put down their pride to do it.
They consider it the most humiliating. But some don't.
When someone says "Kneel, and I'll forgive you," he kneels.
- He kneels right away. - He just stay kneeling down.
- He stays kneeling down. - Like this.
He kneels down like this. Every person is different.
For some people, writing a written promise is difficult.
- But it's not for her husband. - It's not.
For him, a written promise is a pass.
It's a pass.
- It lets him go outside. - Right.
Sir, what is a written promise for you?
It's a promise that I won't do what I did.
- Yes. - Yes.
- It's meant to build trust. - But you keep ignoring it.
- I keep ignoring it. - How is that a promise then?
It's not considered a written promise.
(He admits his fault faster than anyone.)
Did he admit it? He admitted it.
- He admitted it. - He admitted it right away.
He won't be writing any more written promises.
- He won't be writing more. - You knew you didn't mean it,
- but you still wrote them. Right? - She made me write them.
Since I was at fault, I didn't have a choice.
Because your job...
requires to drive every day,
- your wife is worried that... - Yes.
- you'd doze off while driving. - She would be worried.
You should be worried about it.
Aren't you worried?
I have been a driver for nearly 10 years now.
- That's a long time. - I have never been in an accident.
I have never dozed off while driving.
But it doesn't mean you won't be getting into an accident.
(An accident can happen anytime.)
When I asked his drinking friends to come here,
most of them refused.
When I told them, they said they couldn't come.
I forced one person to come.
How are you related to each other?
I am his colleague. I am a driver too.
Are you one of the people who always drink with him?
That's right.
(She sounds very bubbly.)
(His drinking friends are fun people.)
Good job.
- They just admit everything. - My goodness.
- Well done. - They just admit it.
It's as if we are interrogating her.
Do you always drink until the middle of the day?
- In my case, I go home around 6am. - How long do you stay?
- Right. - But...
in my colleague's case,
he gets swayed by the atmosphere. And he also tries to save face.
That's why he can't easily leave the party.
But he enjoys it.
I don't think he enjoys the drinking part.
I think he enjoys the atmosphere.
- He loves being at a party. - He likes the party atmosphere.
Was there a time when you thought he was going over the line?
Yes. There was a time.
(The way she speaks is addicting.)
- Is that right? - Was there a time?
- That's right. - Around 12 midnight to 1am,
we are busy working. His friend would call him.
"Let's go for some drinks. We are here. Hurry up."
When his friend says that, he should turn him down.
- He should. - But he goes to the party.
- In the middle of work hour? - Yes.
He leaves me alone and goes to the party.
When I tell him that I will talk to his wife about it,
he tells me, "Don't tell her."
And yet you're saying it here?
Right. I have come to expose him.
- Right. - That's why I am saying this.
Soon Ik must've been shocked.
You didn't know that he leaves for a party in the middle of work.
I thought he went for drinks because his work had finished early.
- I never knew. - Right.
(She didn't know he was skipping work to drink.)
Even when we are having a family gathering,
- he leaves when... - Does he leave?
his colleagues calls him.
I want him to stay with me.
- You have a child too. - Yes.
I came home two days after I gave birth at a hospital.
He said he was stressed out.
After dropping me off at home...
- He left you? - You just had a baby.
- As soon as she left the hospital? - It had been two days.
He dropped me off at the hospital.
He said he was stressed out too.
He went out for drinks and came home the next morning.
- My gosh. - She must've felt so sad.
- Yes. - Actually,
- I had two miscarriages. - My gosh.
We got our daughter six years after we got married.
Whenever I moved, my womb contracted,
so I stayed lying down until I gave birth.
That must've been so tough.
He should've fixed me food,
but when he came home late after drinking,
I sometimes had to skip meals.
- While you were pregnant? - Yes.
I will never forget it.
Why did you do that though? Isn't it too bad...
to go for drinks right after she gave birth?
I worked at night, and during the day,
I went back and forth the hospital.
So I was stressed out.
Why is it stressful to go to the hospital for your daughter?
Was it that stressful to go back and forth the hospital?
I had to work at night, and I had to be there in the day time.
You had her six years after you got married.
And she wasn't too well. And yet...
You know that people usually don't act like you, don't you?
I know.
(She will remember it for the rest of her life.)
Her brother-in-law is here.
- Please hand him the mic. - He's her brother-in-law.
My goodness.
- Hello. I am her brother-in-law. - Hello.
What do you think about your sister-in-law's worry?
On December 31, the two of them...
went to see the Watch-Night bell.
They wanted to put the past behind...
and to think about a better future.
He shouted "Cheers!"
After the event, they went home.
When they arrived, he dropped her off and went out to drink.
He forgot about the promise he had just made and left again.
He broke the promise he made in front of the Watch-Night bell.
- Yes. - Yes.
He ignores his own written promises. A verbal promise is nothing.
It was just tolling a bell for him.
Right.
One time, we booked a resort in Gyeongju.
My wife and I were joined by them,
and we went there at night to take some rest.
And his colleagues started arriving one by one.
He introduced them to us as good friends.
Before we realized we started drinking with them.
We ended up drinking until 8am with them.
But it was a family trip.
Right. We went there to rest.
They weren't supposed to come, were they?
Of course not. We had something else to do the next day.
It was the last day of our three-day trip.
They all looked very tired.
My sister-in-law, my brother, and my wife all looked tired,
- "They are tired, so I can drink." - so I...
asked if I could call my friends since they are tired.
They said I could invite them. That's why they came.
(So he started a party.)
Do you feel bored around your family?
It's not fun.
Nobody drinks.
It's not like I can drink alone.
By the way, whenever your wife says something,
you stare in the distant and just says "Okay." Why do you do that?
Has it become your habit to look down on her?
I am not looking down on her. We always end up fighting when we talk.
So it's my way of avoiding a fight.
- You don't want to fight. - It's to avoid the fight.
When he's at home, he's very blunt.
It would be fine if he at least talks.
He's just like the one from Namhae.
- He's so popular outside. - He's not hot-tempered.
- He's popular among his friends. - Yes. He's very talkative.
- They call him because... - That's sad.
the party is not fun without him.
- Is that true? - Yes.
- Ma'am, does he become... - Yes.
talkative when he drinks?
When he drinks, he talks very well.
Don't you talk better than him though?
I talk well too.
"That's right."
(She's very fun.)
She's funny.
You should always...
communicate and commune with each other.
Even though your wife doesn't drink,
can't you drink during dinner...
and talk to her?
You could talk about your daughter too.
During dinner? She doesn't drink.
- You can drink alone. - You can drink alone.
It's too boring to drink alone.
My goodness.
- It's not fun. - Will you keep living like this?
- It's not fun. - Will you keep living this way?
- "This way". - No.
I am trying to change.
- Really? How? - How is he trying?
He won't even honour a written promise.
Will you get it notarised now?
A written promise would be useless.
Wax, you've heard everything.
Let's say one of them...
- has to be your husband. - All right.
- Do you prefer a hot-headed man? - This is crazy.
- They are the extreme ends. - Or do you prefer...
the man who continues to make false promises?
- This is difficult. - This is very difficult.
Do I have to choose between the two?
You have to choose between the two.
- Right. - This is tough.
- It's... - Do I get to choose too?
Choose one, Suk Chun.
You can do that when our country gets more developed.
Okay.
- All right. - Choose one.
- It must be really tough. - My gosh.
This is why you tell me not to get married.
I think the hot-tempered one is better.
- The hot-tempered one. - The hot-tempered one.
- Really? - Really?
(No way.)
When you don't like him...
How about you, Jin Young?
Who do you choose, Jin Young?
- The hot-tempered one? - I choose the hot-tempered one.
(The hot-tempered husband gets 2 votes.)
Oh, dear.
It's frustrating because he keeps repeating it.
- They can't communicate. - How about you, Mi Na?
This is really tough.
- But choose one. - I'd choose the hot-tempered one.
How about you, Ha Na?
I would choose the hot-tempered one.
He at least stays home.
Let's ask his wife who she would choose.
Do I have to choose one between the two?
Let's say you have to.
(She's frustrated.)
Who would you choose?
I think he would be better.
- Right. - We don't know...
because we've never gone through it.
- She's shaking her head. - Yes.
A lot of this is his fault,
but it's also his colleagues' fault.
- Right. - They are all at fault.
Someone in the group should start refusing to drink with him.
But they continue to call him.
So this problem gets repeated.
His colleagues have to change to save her.
What do you...
want from your husband?
On weekends, it's nice to go grocery shopping.
- With him? - Yes.
- She wants only small things. - It's so small.
When he drinks, I want him to be back home by 7am.
I want to see you when I wake up in the morning.
Also...
Go on. You have to say.
I know your work is very hard.
(She's overwhelmed with emotions.)
She knows how hard he works.
- So she partly understands him. - But she's still frustrated.
Actually, it's devastating for her.
He said it's boring to be at home.
Will you go grab a drink tonight after the shoot?
No, I won't drink. I am going to sleep.
What if your friends call you?
- "Are you done?" - "What are you doing at home?"
- You have to be harsher. - "Come on. Meet us."
- "Why aren't you saying anything?" - You have to reject them.
You are just cursing because you want to curse at him.
(How did you know?)
Ha Na will go first. Is it a worry or not?
I think this is a big worry.
I think he needs to start treating his family better...
than his friends and realize how precious they are.
- Jin Young. - I also think it's a worry.
He keeps saying he won't do it again,
but he does it anyway.
- That's giving her false hope. - Yes.
I also think it's a big worry.
They are very different from the couple from Namhae.
They at least argue at home.
In case of this couple,
the husband doesn't even come home.
So this is a serious problem.
Jin Young mentioned that he's giving her false hope.
- Just tell her you will drink. - The worst thing in the worst...
is to give someone a dream that can never come true.
- Rather than fooling yourself... - Just tell her you'd drink.
by thinking that you need to drink to de-stress,
- admit that you're an alcoholic. - Admit you love people.
You should admit that you're immature and foolish.
Admit that you don't act your age.
- And apologize to her. - Right.
- That's better. - You say you drink to de-stress.
But it doesn't mean everyone who does the same job as you...
- has to drink like you do. - You are not honest.
You are being hypocritical...
to yourself and to other people.
I hope you will spend time...
to reflect on that.
If you sympathize with her, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- That's it. - Stop.
Before we check the votes,
- let's say hi to their daughter. - Where is she?
She just woke up from sleep.
- She's so adorable. - She's adorable.
- She's so pretty. - So adorable.
(She's their 3-year-old daughter.)
Take her to her mother.
- She's adorable. - Hello.
- She's adorable. - Pretty.
- What's her name? - She looks like a baby monk.
- How can she be so cute? - Hello.
- She's adorable. - Adorable.
- What's her name? - It's Kim Ga Eun.
- Ga Eun. - Ga Eun.
- Hello. - Come here, Ga Eun.
- Say hello, Ga Eun. - Come here, Ga Eun.
She's adorable.
(She suddenly gets up.)
- Leave her alone. - Come here, Ga Eun.
- She's coming. - You're adorable.
(He's surprised.)
It's the first time.
(I can't believe she came to me!)
- She's the first baby to do that. - Is she the first?
(She's the first baby who threw herself in Yeong Ja's arms.)
- They usually get scared of her. - They usually get scared.
- Where is your mommy? - Where is she?
(She cried.)
- Let's go to Daddy. - Daddy.
(He cried too.)
(Yeong Ja was never good with kids.)
Where is Daddy? Where is Daddy, Ga Eun?
- Daddy. - Daddy.
Where is Daddy?
(Daddy!)
Tell him to come get you.
- Come hug me. - I am not your father.
Why don't you come out and hug her?
- She's so adorable. - Daddy.
- She's... My goodness. - Ga Eun...
looks a lot like her dad.
- She's got his eyes. - Go to Daddy.
- Go to Daddy. - She is so cute.
Where is Daddy?
(She runs to her daddy.)
My goodness.
- How can you go outside? - She's so adorable.
- My goodness. - You can put her down.
She's so adorable.
(Gosh, you!)
(He runs away.)
He's running away.
Come back here!
- He ran away. - Soon Ik.
Is it his first time to hold her? Why are you crying?
It's just...
Are you happy?
Has he not carried her many times?
It's not that.
I just feel sad.
- She's overwhelmed. - Yes.
What do you want to tell your wife before we end?
(It's his turn to talk to his wife.)
Look into her eyes.
(He's shy.)
From now on, I will drink less during the week.
I will only drink on the weekends.
I will try to be there for the family.
I love you.
(He keeps scratching himself.)
- He's shy. - He's shy.
- He's very shy. - He feels ticklish when he's shy.
Is he dirty?

This story is titled "Look at Me Please!"
Hello.
After putting up with it for so long, I ended up writing to you.
I am a 12-year-old boy.
I am very lonely these days.
It's all because of my mom.
"Mom, I am hungry."
"Okay." Beep. Beep.
"No matter how hungry I am, I have to wait."
"My mom is always too busy on her phone."
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
He's so good.
"Can you stop using your phone and turn off the light?"
"I am almost done."
Beep. Beep.
I couldn't sleep well,
and I ended up going to school late the next day.
What makes me sadder is this.
"Mom, please help me with my homework."
"Mommy is busy. Search it online."
(He's neglected.)
I think my mom loves her phone more than me.
Please help her break up with her cell phone.
(He's asking to help her mother who's addicted to her phone.)
Even while eating dinner,
I feel the urge to respond to the messages I receive.
- But they're not important. - You don't need to reply.
You feel anxious when you don't reply fast.
- Right. - Right.
When she sends me a message...
- I am very impatient. - and I don't reply,
she keeps sending me messages. "Suk Chun. Suk Chun. Hey!"
When I check my phone, I see 10 messages from her.
"You idiot. Die!"
(He's not helping me.)
He's a 12-year-boy who lost his mother to a cell phone.
Let's welcome him with a round of applause.
Where is he?
He's there.
(Chae Yoon Woo)
He's cute.
Please help him.
- Oh, dear. - He's cute.
- He's cute. - Son!
Have a seat. Sit comfortably.
You look exactly like your mom.
I can tell who your mom is.
- They look the same. - Please introduce yourself.
Hello. I'm 12-year-old Chae Yoon Woo.
- Welcome. - He's cute.
What made you apply to Hello?
- I have several worries. - Several?
I sent my story to Hello to brush off...
- my worries. - What do you mean several?
What are your worries?
Lately, Mom's into cellphone a lot.
For about six hours...
in 12 hours in a day.
Why is a day 12 hours?
I thought she was on her phone for 12 hours.
I mean I sleep for 12 hours and up for 12 hours,
- When you're awake? - Yes.
She spends half of the day on the phone.
You sleep pretty long for an elementary school student.
- That's a long time. - 12 hours.
Only during the vacation.
Only during the vacation?
When did your mom start going on her phone so much?
- 10... - 12 years?
- Until you turned 12? - I watched her for 12 years.
Right. Because you're 12 years old.
You can't watch her for 13 years yet.
She bought her 1st smartphone when I was 5.
As I entered school,
she started the messenger app.
She didn't use it a lot back then. Recently she joined an arts group.
- That's why. - She's on a group chat.
- News. - Search.
The green window news.
She might have an avoidable reason.
Why don't you understand her?
We sleep together in the living room.
The alarm kept going off.
- From the messenger app? - Yes.
She turns the light on to protect her eyes.
She doesn't just use the cellphone light, but also turns on the light?
I can't sleep at night because of the messenger app.
Do you go to school late because of that?
- Yes. - Tell us about that.
I have to go to school early to work on my assignment.
I couldn't do it, so my teacher was upset, and I had to clean.
Does she wake you up on time?
Yes.
But you can't wake up?
- Because he couldn't sleep. - Because I'm tired.
Your mom wakes you up, but you're late because you don't wake up?
Isn't that your problem?
You have to wake up on time even if you're tired.
- That's true. - Okay.
- She doesn't wake me up hard. - He's cute.
(He's cute.)
Do you have any other problem because of cellphone?
You said you have several.
I usually eat lunch around 1pm.
I often eat after 3pm.
- That's pretty late. - What else?
- She's upset. - That's not lunch.
- That's a snack. - A snack.
If she gave you lunch at 3pm, how about dinner?
After 8:50pm.
- Hey, that's a late-night snack. - Late-night snack.
- I know. - Why does she feed you so late?
She keeps saying after this one.
- After this one. - She reads long news articles.
Oh, because she has to read them? Is your mother a reporter?
No, she's not a reporter.
Your mom must love life stories.
Do you think it's worth bringing your story here?
- Is this a big worry for you? - Yes.
- Okay. - Think about it.
There's no other way. Let's meet your mom.
Mom.
- Hello. - Hello.
Your son's here because he thinks it's a worry.
Did you know he was worried?
I struggled to give birth to Yoon Woo after eight years.
I think I raised him very freely.
Then he makes me a big traitor nationwide.
(He made her a big traitor nationwide.)
As he said, do you go on your phone a lot?
He said he feels like the phone took his mother away.
It's true that I always have my cellphone with me.
It's true then.
She can't deny it.
All my friends' children are in university,
- or they have grandchildren. - You had a late child.
I need to get information from them.
I think that's why I keep going on my phone.
I do it more often.
You do more than getting information.
My old club is gone,
and I joined a new one. The average age is...
65 to 70.
- But... - So?
if the members of the club are relatively old,
they wouldn't use the messenger app often.
There are 20 members, so if they send...
at least one message... I lowered the volume before.
I answered them back two days later,
and I felt bad.
- You could just sleep... - You can check in the morning.
and tell them you slept early the next day.
They were sad about it.
I have many cute emojis. I need to send them.
- What emojis? - They wait for my emojis.
Why do you read news articles so much?
I can only ask so much...
about raising a child.
I read news, entertainment, laws and health too.
When I buy something, I need to read the reviews.
- When I compare them, - You're busy.
it takes a day or two.
- "A day or two." - You read the reviews carefully.
(No wonder she doesn't care about her son.)
That's why Yoon Woo is going crazy.
"How can you do this to me?" "I'm going to report you."
- Report? - Report?
- He reported it to Hello. - Good job.
Why do you read about entertainment?
I was curious to see how they're doing.
(I'm curious to see how they're doing.)
Ma'am.
- How celebrities are doing. - Ma'am.
- Who's doing well? - My goodness.
That's not related to your child.
Since I was young,
I was a big fan of Im Hyun Sik.
- How's he doing? - How's he doing?
He was on "King of Mask Singer".
He's doing well.
(Have some interest in me too.)
Does anyone else in your family complain?
It's just me and my child due to circumstances.
We wake up late around 11am during the vacation.
I thought it's okay to have lunch around 2 or 3pm...
- Right. If that's the reason. - after breakfast, but...
because he has lunch at 12:30pm at school,
if I don't feed him on time, I'm a weird mom.
"What's wrong with you, Mom?" "You shouldn't do that."
- After eating at 11am? - Yes.
- He eats again at 12:30pm? - Are you a young Lee Yeong Ja?
Look how plump he is.
I always cook rice for him in a pot.
- Pot rice? - I don't use the rice cooker.
I always cook in an iron pot...
then move it.
- Sometimes... - One second.
- because I'm old... - He said the rice cooker's broken.
My goodness.
(They were almost deceived by his mother.)
Yoon Woo. Yoon Woo.
(Yoon Woo. Good job on revealing it.)
- "The rice cooker's broken." - Ma'am.
- Ma'am. - I'm getting scared of you.
Every time he says he's hungry, I get messages.
Or...
- I get a call. - Goodness.
Then it's past 8pm.
He said you leave the light on until late at night to go on your phone.
Don't you think he has to sleep?
I get messages around 11pm.
I turn on the light for my eye vision.
You only think about yourself. What about your son's health?
Aren't you worried about him waking up from sleep?
I heard the blue light is bad for your eyes.
- So I... - Did you search it from somewhere?
Yes. On the internet news.
Who messages you...
- at 11pm? - Who is it?
Apparently, old people can't sleep at night.
- They don't sleep much. - That's right.
They don't sleep much.
Your mom has reasons.
Can't you try to understand her?
That's true,
but I'm upset because she shows less interest in me.
Right. He thinks he's not loved enough.
- In what ways? - He's certain.
We play cards at home sometimes.
She suddenly received messages while we were playing.
She said she'll continue after checking,
then suddenly she said she can't play...
and focused on that.
- You're sad because you can't play. - What else?
- Paper folding. - Paper folding.
I asked Mom for help.
She said I can do it alone.
I asked for help because I can't.
(I asked for help because I can't do it alone.)
You asked for help because you can't.
I get messages when I try to help him.
- Those messages. - Yes.
- Just in time. - When I get messages or calls,
my business is first before his.
At his age, he has assignments that requires help from parents.
I believe abandoning him is against your duty as his parent.
When I take a look at his assignments,
it's about ritual food on holidays,
- or he has to write something. - Okay.
Since I'm a Christian,
I only know a few ritual foods,
so I tell him to look on the internet.
He says no because he was told to ask his mom,
so he must ask me.
- You can look for it together. - Do it together.
You have your cellphone.
I don't want to do everything for him.
You said you did everything for him.
That's when he was a baby.
One day, I realized he can't tie his shoe laces in third grade.
I thought I shouldn't raise him like that,
so I told him to play by himself.
I told him to work on his homework by himself because it's his.
If she tells you to search on the internet, why don't you do that?
I'm weak at Chinese, but there are many Chinese characters.
There's something like red on east, white on west.
He probably hasn't learned Chinese yet. I don't think...
you should've only fed him.
You should've helped him.
If she's on the phone, you could go on your phone too.
- She doesn't buy me one. - What?
- How? When she doesn't buy me one. - You don't have a cellphone?
No, I don't.
How many students are there in your class?
- 20. - 20?
How many of them have a cellphone?
- 15? - 15.
Then five students don't have it.
You go on your phone, but why won't you get one for him?
I also read this on the internet news.
She reads everything on the internet news.
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs...
didn't buy their children a computer or cellphone...
before they turned 14.
It's bad for their brain function.
The most important thing is...
I'm afraid he would watch sexual videos.
He's at that age now.
Excuse me. Do you know what he just said?
"I'll watch it anyway as time goes."
That's not what I mean.
- What? - I don't even know how to watch it.
- I'm not even interested. - Okay.
- You're not in that age yet. - Okay.
- Ma'am. - Yes.
Do you know what Bill Gate and Steve Jobs...
did to their children...
instead of buying those devices?
You don't consider how they spent their time...
- with their children. - No. I did everything he asked.
Because he's so precious,
I do everything for him without realizing.
- No. Ma'am, your words... - No.
don't add up.
(Her words were the opposite a few minutes ago.)
She keeps changing her words.
Your words don't add up.
You say you want to give everything to your precious son,
but you are completely addicted to the cellphone.
One time, he told me that he wants to go to Jeju Island.
The next morning,
- I went to Jeju Island with him. - You took him on a trip.
I do everything for him.
We didn't go to the places of my choice.
We only went to the places of my mom's choice.
- What do you mean? - At Jeju Island?
Yes. At Jeju Island.
My mom passed away in May.
I agreed to go to Jeju Island because my heart was troubled.
It was my first time at Jeju Island.
We went to the city tour bus stops...
since we didn't know where anything was.
On top of that, it rained hard.
My mom scolded me...
after the trip.
I watched YouTube videos during the wait...
and used up the battery on her phone.
She said, "It's your fault the battery is low."
"Don't watch YouTube videos from now on."
It was...
It was upsetting.
What other worries do you have?
- You have a several. - Reveal everything on the show.
Tell us what your mom did.
Instead of buying me what I want,
she buys what she thinks is appropriate for me.
I asked for a Gundam plastic model...
for my birthday.
- What did she buy you? - A book.
You asked for a Gundam plastic model and got a book.
(How did a robot become a book?)
That makes my heart sink.
(That makes my heart sink.)
What kind of a book was it?
- Was it about Gundam? - "Treasures of Chosun Dynasty".
"Treasures of Chosun Dynasty". What else?
Until last year,
she didn't buy me shoes with shoelaces.
- Why? - I could tie shoes in the way...
that is secure for a few hours.
A few hours?
I guess he didn't pull hard enough.
- The shoelaces came undone. - He lacks the strength.
My mom didn't believe me.
All my friends had shoes with shoelaces.
- I was jealous. - Are there more?
- When I was in second grade... - He is spilling everything.
- There are a lot. - He remembers everything.
When I was in second grade, the winter was really cold.
She bought me a click it hot pack.
- A click it hot pack. - Yes.
It heats up when you click the disk.
Since it doesn't stay warm for long,
I asked her to buy me a hot pack that is activated by shaking.
- However, she said it's a waste. - That one isn't reusable.
- Do all of your friends have it? - Yes.
I touched their hot pack once.
It had the temperature of a paradise.
- The temperature of a paradise. - It was like life.
(It was like life.)
The production crew tells us you suffered...
because of your mom's snoring.
That's right.
You are like the assorted gift set.
Does she snore?
For our trip, we stayed at a hotel near the airport.
- The sound of airplanes was loud. - It was loud.
However, it was nothing compared to my mom's snore.
(However, it was nothing compared to my mom's snore.)
- You couldn't sleep. - No.
It's beyond her control.
She must have been tired.
I understand that, but I was late a few times because of that.
She snores and grinds her teeth.
My goodness.
(Please stop.)
Your mom will take that seat.
"My son criticizes me too much."
You think you have done everything...
for your son.
However, communicating and connecting with the children...
are better than buying them presents and taking them to places.
Children remember those moments the longest.
Do you think you gave your son what he wants...
in those regards?
I thought I did everything for him.
However, listening to him made me realize that I am lacking.
I didn't think he had a worry.
Yoon Woo has mixed feelings about his mom.
While he feels pity and affection for his mom,
he also thinks he can't communicate with his mom.
It could make dissatisfaction pile up...
in his heart.
He could talk to you less and less.
You should cut back on your cellphone usage.
You said people become upset...
if you don't reply...
to messages quickly.
Only young lovers would do that.
Adults with jobs...
won't say anything about it.
(They won't be critical.)
Say what you want to say to your mom.
Please buy me what I want for my birthday.
She should do that for your birthday.
Do you love her? Tell her.
Say, "Mom, I love you."
I will do it later.
I have more requests.
- Mom. - He has more requests.
He has more requests.
He has a lot to talk about.
I asked that we go to Jeju Island.
I wanted to make you feel better...
after Grandma passed away.
(I wanted to make you feel better.)
Mom, I love you.
How much do you love her?
I can give her all of my organs.
(He can give her his everything.)
(Her young son is thoughtful.)
All right.
The love they share makes my heart warm.
(He is a good kid.)
The guests will vote first.
- Ha Na. - For Yoon Woo, it is a worry.
Since she realized the error of her ways,
she will talk to her son more...
and solve the problem.
I also don't think it's a worry.
I think it's a big worry for Yoon Woo.
Compared to the two sons who watch their parents fight,
Yoon Woo doesn't have a worry.
That's why I think it isn't a worry.
Their sons would have a bigger worry.
He whispered to me...
that his mom consults the web when something happens to him.
You should ask him directly.
Have a conversation with him.
They need a conversation.
That's right.
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.
Ma'am, please say a few words to your son.
Yoon Woo.
I am so happy that I am your mom.
I love you.
(I love you, my son.)
(Also)
We have this for Yoon Woo.
Is that a Gundam?
(My goodness.)
In the big box...
(What's the present?)
(Expectant)
In the big box...
- are hot packs. - Hot packs.
(Hot packs)
Hot packs.
- Hot packs. - Hot packs.
(I will enjoy the temperate of a paradise.)
- Hot packs. - You can use them all.
(There are plenty of them.)
Until middle school,
you will be able to survive on these hot packs.
There is more.
Also...
(There is another big box.)
Also...
(Is it for me?)
Open it.
(Giggling)
(I am so excited.)
He is so excited. How cute.
- Open it. - What could it be?
- Rip it open. - Rip it open. It's okay.
- Rip it open. - It's a fun book.
It's "Treasures of Chosun Dynasty, Volume Two".
What could it be?
(Shouting)
What is it?
(I can't believe it.)
What do you think it is?
(What's the second present?)
(It's a robot.)
I didn't expect it.
My goodness.
(Hurrah)
This is what I wanted.
Yoon Woo.
Ma'am, if he hasn't made it before,
it will be hard to do it by himself.
Please be sure to help him.
- I hope you would do that. - I will do that.
(Make good memories together.)
