National Competition on Worries!
Let's welcome today's guests. It's been a long time.
Narsha and JeA!
(Strong girls have returned.)
Park Kyung, Tae Il, and Jae Hyo of Block B!
(Park Kyung, Tae Il, Jae Hyo)
Narsha had an image of a strong girl in the past.
However, after she got married...
Are you happy now that you're married?
I'm so happy. How about you?
Why are you asking that all of a sudden?
- Are you happy? - I'm so happy.
How about you, JeA? Don't you envy her for being married?
To be honest, I couldn't imagine it at all.
However, I'd like to meet a man who can be my friend...
and be a lovely couple together. I'd like to meet...
a man who's younger than me.
How much younger can he be?
I'm okay with a man who's up to 10 years younger than me.
You mean about the age of the guys sitting next to you?
How old are you?
We're 29 years old.
- I'm 27 years old. - Just right.
You're younger than me just as I want.
(They cannot but laugh.)
You're in the age group she wants.
It's your first time on this show, Block B. How is it?
I've seen it a lot on TV, but the studio is closer than I thought.
- It's close. - It's not the studio that's close.
- The audience is close. - Right. The audience is close.
You're in the studio.
(Jae Hyo, you're in the studio.)
Park Kyung is so famous these days.
He's known as a man with sexy brain.
That makes me uncomfortable. People don't know me as Block B,
but as a boy who solves problems.
When I go to a restaurant, people compliment me for that.
I recently went to a bar, and an international lawyer came to me.
He asked me what I think about the international situation.
- It's not that. You're creative. - He is.
You have marvellous creativity.
Jae Hyo, you like fishing.
He's a cover model of Fishing News.
Is he?
He's the first idol star who did that.
He's the first cover model of Fishing News as an idol star.
What was the biggest fish you caught?
I caught a yellow tail that is 1m 20cm long.
- A yellow tail that's 1m 20cm long? - Yes.
If you're on the Fishing News, that means you're good.
(He's an expert in fishing.)
We have three worries to counsel today.
Show us the keywords please.
(The keywords are revealed.)
"A story that will dry your blood out."
"Come On, Honey."
"Middle-aged Woman's Struggle".
I'll take up "A story that will dry your blood out", and it's shocking.
Why aren't you taking the second story, Dong Yeob?
What?
I think you're fit for that story.
If I take up that story, it will sound different.
That's what I think.
It's no use to fight.
I see.
Let's begin with "A story that will dry your blood out"!
(Wait for today's amazing worries!)
"A story that will dry your blood out".
Hello. I'm a 24 years old man living in Gyeongsang Province.
Going home is the scariest thing in the world to me these days.
I scream while I am eating.
(Dong Yeob screams.)
I scream while I am sleeping.
(Dong Yeob screams again.)
It's because of my sister's pet.
- What is it? - I'll be the sister.
"My baby. You're so cute!"
"Look how you wriggle. What a cutie!"
My sister is...
- raising... - What is it?
- A snake? - a leech.
- A leech? - A leech?
My baby. Let me kiss you.
- What did you just say? - She's kissing it.
- She's kissing a leech? - She's kissing with her leech.
I can't believe it.
"Why does my baby look bad? Are you sick?"
I can't even differentiate which end is its face.
It just looks like this.
- You're right. - The problem is,
it crawls on the table when I eat.
It crawls on the bed when I sleep.
- She lets it loose at home. - It might suck your blood.
What's horrible is,
there were five leeches at first,
then they increased to 10,
20, and now there are over 60 leeches.
They have a high reproduction rate.
Even my mom said that she couldn't stand it anymore.
Mom kept enduring, but she cried in the end.
I'm sick of living with horrible leeches.
Please help us to stop here! This is his story.
Does it look long like a centipede?
It looks like a fat earthworm.
- A fat earthworm? - It's not as long as an earthworm.
- Does it look like a larva? - You don't know what it is.
You can imagine a cockroach.
A cockroach is fine.
JeA, is a cockroach fine to you?
I can catch a cockroach with my hand.
(We respect you, JeA.)
Do you mean you hit it with your hand to kill it?
I lift it up with my fingers and cover it with tissue.
A leech sticks to your skin.
It sticks tight.
- That's more horrible. - I think a leech is better.
(She can't imagine it.)
Let's bring him here and listen to his worry.
Please come here!
(Who's having a hard life due to his sister's love for leeches?)
Please come this way.
(Park Ki Wan)
(He gets 10 points for his technique with the slide.)
He sticks to the slide like a leech!
He came down that slope standing.
Please introduce yourself.
I'm Park Ki Wan, 24 years old living in Gimhae, Gyeongnam.
Welcome.
Is your sister really raising leeches at home?
Yes, and it feels really horrible whenever I come home.
It's been about seven months since she raised them.
- When she first brought them. - Right.
There were 3 to 4 leeches at first.
Now there are over 60 of them.
- Do they reproduce? - By reproduction?
- No, she bought more. - She bought?
- She bought more? - Do they sell them?
- Really? - Are they sold?
- Yes, they're sold. - Where can you buy them?
I argue with my sister every day because of them.
However, my sister has a loud voice,
- so my neighbours reported it. - How loud is it?
So I tried to stay outside,
hung out with my friends and slept at their places.
But I couldn't keep doing it so I came back home.
And living with the leeches began.
That's why I sent my story.
(It's a big worry to me.)
How did your sister get to raise the leeches?
She likes reptiles.
So, three years ago, she was raising a snake.
But my dad stepped on it by mistake.
- My goodness. - What did he say?
It must have died.
- Did the snake die? - Yes, it died.
He must have stepped hard on it.
My sister has bad knees.
She was searching for what's good for arthritis.
She heard leeches are good, so she bought them.
But she got to raise them with love just like a pet.
- Is it good for arthritis? - How can she kiss them?
- I don't get it. - I wonder...
if a leech is a hermaphrodite.
Yes, that's right.
- A system. - A system of a hermaphrodite.
It's a nice system.
Why are you curious whether it's a hermaphrodite?
- Actually, I'm also... - You're also?
You're a hermaphrodite?
- No, I'm not. - I was shocked.
My goodness.
- I once raised worms for fish. - To feed them.
Those species are usually hermaphrodites.
When I get 2 of them, they become 30 and 40 in a month.
- They reproduce. - I don't know about leeches, so...
Where does she keep 60 leeches?
She puts 5 or 6 of them in a small plastic bin.
The bins are in her room, in my room,
- and in my parents' room. - She disperses them.
Why does she keep them in every room?
The temperature and condition is different in each room.
She wants to check it out.
She's looking for a comfortable condition for them.
She even keeps leeches that didn't suck up blood...
- in the refrigerator. - What?
- Won't they die? - They won't.
Then your family sees leeches whenever they open the door.
Yes. I'm surprised whenever I open it.
Though many people heard of a leech, they might not have seen it.
I asked to send some pictures in advance.
I haven't seen a leech.
My goodness.
- Gosh! - Goodness!
- That's a leech. - They're too big!
- They're big. - They are.
They're big.
(They look terrible.)
- They're so fat. - They look like a dog's dirt.
They're so big.
- Did she put them in water? - Yes.
- They live in water. - I didn't know that.
She put it next to the milk. I wouldn't drink that milk.
The leeches are big.
- Right. - I've seen only the small ones.
- The big ones are really big. - I thought they would be small.
No, there are many small kinds.
Such big ones are rare.
They are long.
Do they stay in those bins?
No, you should change the water three times a day.
- 3 times? - 3 times?
Have you touched them when you change the water?
My sister asks me to do it when she's not at home.
So do you help her?
I wear gloves when I do it,
but they're flabby and sticky.
- You must hate it. - It gets to my hands.
Did you change the water today?
I changed it this morning.
Listening to his story,
Park Kyung doesn't seem to feel they're gross.
I don't get it why this is a problem.
Nice. That's very nice because...
leeches will come on the stage later.
I was wondering who should handle them.
He can do it. You can let them suck your blood.
Do you think it would be all right?
The leeches themselves can be gross.
I don't think it would matter that much if she doesn't let them loose.
Right. It wouldn't matter if she raises them in the bins.
- Why does she let them out? - When I'm eating,
she puts them on the table.
Why does she do that when you're eating?
One day, a technician came to change the filter of the water purifier.
The leeches were out then.
The man stepped on one by mistake.
(The technician stepped on a leech by mistake.)
My sister saw it.
She got angry and told him, "Why did you kill a life?"
- The man wouldn't have liked it. - Did the leech die?
- Yes, it did. - Was it dead?
There are many that died. A snake died too.
- He must have felt unfair. - He was at a loss for words.
When we kill a mosquito, blood splatters.
- A lot of blood must have come out. - Yes. You're right.
It had eaten blood for three months.
How much is a leech's average price?
- Price. - Price.
- Price. - Yes, the price for each leech.
- My sister would know. - He hasn't asked yet.
We should ask her.
I want to meet her soon. I have so many things to ask.
Let's meet his sister. Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
It's nice to see you.
- Hello. - Do you understand his worry?
I don't think you do.
To be honest, I feel half and half.
People have many kinds of pets.
They have reptiles, dogs, cats,
- turtles... - Right.
People raise them.
I don't think I'm causing much damage.
He simply says it's gross.
I frankly can't understand.
Why do you think leeches are charming?
You don't really know, but they are really charming.
- I really don't know. - Really.
I'll explain why they're charming.
They get air and oxygen in the water.
- I see. - They swim and dance in it.
- Do they dance in water? - Right.
Their hips get stuck between stones.
(She laughs pleasantly.)
(Leeches, you're so adorable.)
She must like it a lot.
- She's being shy. - That's cute, and...
If you look at carefully, you can see them yawning.
But it's hard to see,
because as he said earlier,
you can't differentiate the head and the tail.
Really, where's the head?
How do you know its head and kiss it?
There's a thick part and a part that looks like a tail.
If you put it on the floor,
it crawls forward and that is it's head.
(It crawls forward and that is it's head.)
It crawls forward.
It doesn't go backward.
It goes forward.
- A snake doesn't go backward. - Right.
- They all go forward. - Also...
- to differentiate front and back... - It might have been going backward.
It might go backward.
(It doesn't go backward.)
How do they yawn?
- Do they do it like we do? - Yes, right.
They have teeth in the mouth,
deep inside the sucker.
And it's hard to see that.
- Now... - How did you see it?
More than her raising leeches,
- how she thinks is his worry. - For an hour or two every day,
I look at leeches dance.
How do they dance?
- Why do they dance? - They're digesting.
And it looks like dancing to you.
They're so adorable to me, so I see it as dancing.
(His sister is blinded by love for leeches.)
Did you begin to raise them for remedy?
Right. First, it's not that I couldn't walk,
but I had weak cartilage.
I happened to know about it...
and studied about the leech therapy.
The leech therapy is officially approved...
by the FDA in the States.
- Is it? - Does it work?
I think it worked for me.
When I put it on my knee, I feel good.
How does it feel when it sucks up your blood?
The leeches I raise...
are very strong when they suck up the blood.
It stings enough to get on your nerve.
I have a stinging feeling.
If that works so well, you can't help that you like it.
You can raise them in your space.
- But she lets them out. - Keeping them in the living room,
that's his worry.
Why does it give him any harm?
Rationally, I don't understand it.
Rationally, we don't understand why you let them loose.
I stay warm when I sleep,
- and he stays cool when he sleeps. - He stays cool.
To provide the best temperature for leeches,
I try my best.
She's trying everywhere.
I hope he gets attached to them as I put them out.
- What? - Do you let them out for that?
You can keep them in water. Why do you have to let them out?
It won't matter if you keep them in water.
You put them on the table.
I make them exercise.
(What is she saying?)
- You're walking them like a dog. - Right.
To make them digest well.
Do you want all your family to like leeches?
Yes, I like them...
so I hope everyone to like them.
- I truly want it. - However,
you're thinking that your family must like what you like.
- She's being selfish. - I think you're little selfish.
No, they're so adorable.
In the course of time, they cannot but love them.
I don't understand her.
She said she doesn't get it why he considers it as damage.
Who defines whether it's a damage or not?
Is it the inflictor or the victim?
He's smart.
(He got the point just right.)
He's awesome.
The inflictor cannot define it. That's what he said.
- By the way, - How much it costs?
He was very curious.
What's the average price for a leech?
- I guess it's not that expensive. - It might be expensive.
It's different according to the sellers.
On average, it costs about 25 dollars...
- to 40 dollars. - For one?
- For one leech? - Yes.
- That can make money. - That adds up to 1800 dollars.
One leech costs the same as a plate of raw fish in a restaurant.
- It's expensive. - Yes, it is.
It costs the same as a plate of raw fish in a restaurant.
(That's not much.)
About the water purifier technician,
he stepped on it by mistake.
Why did you get angry with him?
You're the one who put them down.
Of all things, that little one...
had so much blood the day before.
(They don't want to imagine it.)
When it had so much blood...
The blood splattered.
However, you could have put it in a safe place.
Weren't you responsible for it?
It's your responsibility not to neglect it.
It's the same with a dog too. The owner takes the responsibility.
I acknowledge my responsibility to some extent.
But he didn't see it and stepped on it.
He's more responsible for what happened.
I'm really curious.
- Whose blood was it? - From the one that popped out.
Whose blood was it?
It was my brother's.
What?
(Why did she give her brother's blood to the leech?)
Is your health not good?
Don't you feel well?
- Then... - Are you feeling ill?
I'll tell about the blood a little bit later.
I see.
- We'll talk about the blood later. - We should.
We have so many things to ask. But first,
what she loves most,
- Are the leeches here? - her babies, the leeches...
Nephews and nieces to her brother.
- Nephews and nieces. - Right.
Let's bring them to the stage.
(Leeches on the stage, first time on this show)
Please bring the leeches.
- Park Kyung! - Park Kyung, get ready.
Roll up your sleeves.
We have a member with bad knees.
- Is he Jae Hyo? - Yes.
Jae Hyo, do you have bad knees?
- Let him get a therapy now. - I just got better.
(The leeches are coming.)
- My goodness! - They're really in there.
They're so big.
Did you bring only the big ones?
They're so gross!
They're big.
They're so big and gross.
- Right. - They look like sea cucumbers.
- Please wear the gloves. - Why?
- Why? - Why do we have to wear gloves?
(Young Ja, here are your gloves.)
(She's so surprised.)
(Young Ja is really surprised.)
It's just gloves.
(What's wrong with the gloves?)
I was looking at the screen and they looked so gross.
I'm sorry.
(The leeches' mom is coming.)
You could just give them like this.
- So big. - Really.
- Are some leeches... - This must be hard.
young and the others are old?
- It's gross. - When they suck blood, it shows.
According to the size.
Something is written on the cap.
Right. Here it says "Grandma."
Grandma is the biggest.
Yes. Grandma refers to my mom.
"The youngest" refers to my youngest brother.
These suck up her brother's blood.
Her brother is "The youngest".
- These feed on her mom's blood. - Oh, that's what it meant?
These feed on her dad's blood.
He doesn't look good now.
- I see. - Where are your leeches?
Those who feed on my blood get sick.
Let's say I buy 10 of them,
and eight of them get sick.
(That sounds like an excuse.)
It says "My Hungry Kids" here.
- They're apparently small. - They're small and slim.
Do they get bigger after sucking blood?
They get much bigger.
- Really? - Are you going to kiss them?
(She suddenly opens the cap.)
- Are you going to show us? - Wait.
- Goodness. - You should wear these.
(She puts in her bare hand.)
You should wear the gloves.
- They might bite you. - They won't.
- Would you like to... - It might bite you.
(JeA is so scared.)
It might bite you.
(The leech came out of the water.)
- It might fall! - It won't bite.
It might fall!
It won't.
(They're amazed.)
- Which side is it's face? - Which side is it's face?
(Right here!)
It's moving forward.
It won't bite. I mean it. Here you go. Be confident.
(She gives it to Dong Yeob.)
Dong Yeob, you can kiss it.
(I'm not scared.)
It's getting longer.
- It's getting bigger. - It is, right?
This is how it exercises.
Look how it stretches.
- Gosh! Don't do it! - Wait a second!
Don't do it! Don't!
(A moment ago, she obviously said...)
- A cockroach is fine. - A cockroach is fine?
(She said she's not afraid of a cockroach.)
(I want to go home.)
- Well... - It's getting longer.
- As I keep watching it... - It keeps moving.
(Tae Gyun has fallen for the charm of leeches.)
It has some charms.
It's kind of cute.
I told you.
- It's cute. - You have bad knees, right?
- Yes. - Just once...
Jae Hyo has bad knees.
- I'm wearing skinny jeans. - You can roll up your pants.
We can blur it. Take your pants off.
Don't they bite at all after having enough blood?
They never bite then. I guarantee it.
You have 60 of them.
Do they all have names?
As you can see, they all look the same.
They don't have an individual name.
I just call them "my baby."
(Why do you have to raise them as your baby?)
They're in jars now, so it doesn't feel so dangerous.
- Why don't we set them loose? - Let's take them out on the table.
- On the table. - Let's take them for a walk.
Does she set them loose on your kitchen table?
- Yes. - Yes.
- It's scary. - They look a bit like dog poop.
They're huge.
(Stretching)
- Oh, my. - Oh, my.
- They're stretching. - They're so long.
- Gosh. - That must be the head.
- Yes. - That is it's head.
Why are they so fast?
They move faster than I thought.
They move fast when they work out.
They're usually in the water.
It sucks on the table...
and move it's body.
How many do you usually set loose at a time?
I set loose the ones in the same jar.
- Like this. - Like that.
- It's disgusting. - You can't eat in this situation.
Come here.
- You said they're hermaphrodites. - That's right.
- Can they reproduce by themselves? - They need each other.
- They need each other? - Yes.
I think they're doing it right now.
Well...
They're doing it.
Look.
You brats.
Can I touch them?
- Kyung wants to touch them. - Sure.
- Really? - Kyung, come here.
- Kyung. - Come here.
- Have a seat. - What are you doing?
- All right. - They stick to your skin...
and suck your blood.
Try touching it. It's okay.
It feels different when it's so close.
- Touch it. - It's coming to you.
(Will he touch it?)
(He touched it.)
- How does it feel? - It feels nice, doesn't it?
- It does. - See?
Snakes feel very nice too.
- They're very cool. - It's very cool.
It's moist.
(Wait)
(No way.)
(Kissing)
He kissed it.
(Kissing the leech gives him goosebumps.)
You're amazing.
(He can't understand it.)
Kyung just kissed here.
- Yeong Ja, kiss the same spot. - My goodness.
(It's so fun to tease Yeong Ja.)
Please put them back in before they get dry.
(Thank you for showing us.)
You're her family. Can't you understand her?
I'm fine with her just watching them.
But she wants to give them blood.
- She takes her family's blood. - She takes your blood?
She lets her leeches suck our blood.
Who would want to give leeches his or her blood?
- Right. - Like blood donation.
It's ridiculous.
I refused. One day, I came home drunk.
I was asleep, and...
(No way.)
- Seriously? - Suddenly,
I felt a sting in my arm.
Something was wriggling on my arm.
I found a leech on my arm and screamed.
My sister came in and said, "It's okay. He's done sucking."
(It's okay. He's done sucking.)
"You're fine, right?"
(It's creepy.)
I lock my door at night these days.
- So they won't suck your blood. - Then she comes through...
- the window for my blood. - That's scary.
There's nothing you can do...
- to stop the bleeding. - It won't stop?
No. When I have to go out,
I have to put 10 layers of bandage...
- on the wound. - Gosh.
That's interesting.
The wound keeps bleeding?
The wound itself is tiny, but it doesn't stop bleeding.
That's scary.
You sometimes prick your finger to enhance blood circulation.
Wouldn't it be okay to let a leech suck your blood just for a moment?
- But it doesn't work that way. - You bleed for 24 hours.
- It's different. - Ms. Park.
Can't you pull a leech off your body after a moment?
It's not a good idea to force it off.
If you force it off, it's teeth can...
get stuck in your skin.
You should wait for it to become full and get off your skin...
- on its own. - It sounds like...
she's threatening us.
You said you shouldn't force it off,
but is it okay to force it on someone?
- Exactly. - Let me explain.
Go ahead.
At first, I asked them politely...
to give their blood to my leeches.
I explained the benefits.
I told them they could cure anything.
But they just wouldn't listen.
I got so hurt. They're my family.
- Who would say yes? - Who would say yes?
Listen.
I understand you want to treat your mom with leeches,
but your brother is healthy.
You seem to ask them for their blood so easily.
I'd faint.
Is it really okay?
- It can be dangerous. - He's healthy.
(He's healthy.)
He's healthy.
Also, once leeches suck blood,
they don't need more blood for the next six months.
It's not that often, but they're still against it.
You're getting off topic.
Letting them suck your own blood is no problem,
but your brother doesn't want to.
My brother...
You can't decide what to do with your brother's blood.
- You're right. - You talk about it so easily.
That's why he's here today.
Aren't there any health risks?
- What if you become infected? - Exactly.
- That's the biggest risk. - Right?
That's why I separate my leeches...
from Mom's leeches.
Can't you clean their mouths with alcohol sometimes?
Alcohol is leeches' biggest enemy.
It is.
Do leeches only suck human blood?
Do they suck other types of blood too?
- Other animals' blood? - Yes, for example.
What leeches love the most is...
cow's blood.
- Cow's blood? - But you couldn't keep cows.
Well...
They couldn't keep cows to feed leeches.
(I'm the cow.)
Let's meet their mother.
- Sure. - Hello.
Hello.
The letter said...
that you even cried because of leeches.
Please explain what happened.
Like you just saw,
she kisses her leeches. I'm okay with that,
but she forces me to kiss them too.
I hate it.
Once, while I was asleep,
she put four leeches on my body.
- Four? - I woke up...
and found four leeches on my body.
- I was so surprised. - I'd faint.
- Four? - So I got upset...
and yelled at my daughter.
Do you think it improves your health?
Yes. My knees improved.
(It's effective.)
- Mom thinks it's effective. - That's good.
- Please go on. - My knees used to...
ache a lot.
They would get swollen.
But they're a lot better now.
We don't know if leeches really helped.
It might be just a placebo effect. She might have improved...
just because she believed leeches would help.
But her mom doesn't like her daughter's intention.
Her daughter doesn't do it for her mom's health.
She just wants to feed her babies.
- That's her intention. - Right.
Please tell us about another episode.
When the leeches get sick,
my daughter watches them all night long.
- When they get sick? - She's so worried.
When I come from work...
and say I'm tired, she says, "Do you need some leeches?"
She doesn't care when you're sick,
but she cares when the leeches are sick?
She only cares about her babies.
- You must have been hurt. - I was.
These days, hospitals are great.
My mom and brother can always see a doctor.
- But leeches are... - But leeches...
- They can't even speak. - Exactly.
There are no doctors for leeches.
What you're saying doesn't really make sense.
You think, when your family is sick, they can go see a doctor.
That's why you're more worried about your leeches.
But you ask your family for their blood?
It doesn't make sense.
I'm not just asking for their blood.
Leeches can cure their diseases too.
Your brother has no disease.
He's healthy.
(Stop torturing me.)
Keeping leeches is fine,
but she insists that her family should love them too.
- Exactly. - That must bother you.
Yes. She takes leeches with her when she goes out.
- She does? - Even at restaurants,
she puts leeches on the table.
- While eating? - Yes. The other customers...
think they're disgusting...
- It'd shock them. - and complain.
- In jars? - Yes.
When the others complain, she tells them she paid for her food,
so it's no problem. Then we have to apologize for her.
(Her family has to apologize.)
The worst thing happened...
when she took a jar of leeches to a convenience store.
While paying, she dropped the jar by mistake,
- My goodness. - and leeches got out of the jar.
The clerk was so surprised...
that she burst into tears, screaming and shaking.
I had to clean up and apologize.
Don't you think it can cause others inconvenience?
When people on the street compliment your dog,
it makes you very happy.
It's the same for me.
You still shouldn't put leeches on the table...
when the others are eating.
They are kept in a jar.
- They don't cause inconveniences. - No, they don't.
- They are disgusting! - Gosh, they are disgusting.
They make the others lose their appetite.
That's not true.
- "That's not true." - That's how the others feel.
If others feel that way, they are causing inconveniences.
It looks like...
your sister is smart and eloquent.
That must is obvious.
Do such characteristics...
give you any headaches?
If she thinks something is right,
- she never yields. - She never yields.
- No. - She is stubborn.
Once she sets her mind on something, she has to do it.
She is especially obsessive when it comes to the leeches.
No matter what the family says, she doesn't listen.
Ma'am, aren't you frustrated by these aspects of your daughter?
It's upsetting.
Even though she is at the age to get married,
she only cares about raising leeches.
- She must be frustrated. - No man would like that.
I don't think marriage has anything to do with the leeches.
Even though I don't raise leeches, I am still single.
(I don't raise leeches.)
Do you intend to increase the number of leeches?
No way.
Yes, I do.
(Of course.)
There is something I am planning.
- What is that? - In Japan,
there is a leech called the Asian buffalo leech.
- It must be big. - It's the size of a forearm.
- An arm? - Yes, it's about this big.
I plan to go during summer to bring about three...
and raise them.
Who will get their blood sucked?
- Maybe they will suck a person dry. - They will suck a person dry.
They will suck 2L of blood.
Well, they won't do that.
Did you find out about it now?
(Flustered)
You should stop drinking.
- Did you know about this plan? - Congratulations.
- I have no idea. - The Asian buffalo leeches.
That means the family will have to give more blood.
(Her plan is scary and frustrating.)
I don't think that's right.
You should buy a cow.
You maintained that...
getting your blood sucked by a leech is...
healthy and effective.
- Yes. - The production crew asked...
an expert about it.
While it's true the leeches are used to heal,
it's extremely dangerous...
for an individual to raise leeches at home...
- for medicinal purposes. - It's extremely dangerous.
A leech that hasn't been sterilized...
runs the risk of causing infection.
- You might get blood poisoning. - Your condition must be considered.
If you have anaemia or low blood pressure,
you might go into a shock from blood letting.
A used leech shouldn't be used again...
on a person.
Even if it was used to let your blood,
it can be dangerous to reuse the same leech...
- on you. - It's extremely dangerous.
Please be careful about these matters.
At hospitals, used leeches are discarded.
You do feel apologetic, right?
Of course I am.
I have conscience.
However, they give me energy of life.
- They give me joy. - That's right.
Keeping them...
is only acceptable...
if you put them on your own body.
It's okay to raise them by yourself,
but you keep using other people to feed them.
That's a problem.
If you take them to public places,
other people may be shocked.
I hope you would think about these issues again.
Don't buy Asian buffalo leeches.
Please say a few words to your sister.
It would be unrealistic to ask you to throw away...
all the leeches right away.
Please keep a small number of them...
and refrain from putting them on the table during a meal.
Also, don't put them on my body when I am asleep.
If you do that,
your proclivity will be more manageable.
You are still being considerate of your sister.
- What is your honest thought? - Be honest.
To be honest, I want to kill them all.
That's right.
There are tears in his eyes.
Seriously.
He wants to kill them all.
He wants to crush them.
He loves and cares about his sister.
That's why he is considerate of her.
(Please be considerate of your family.)
All right.
(The guests' vote)
- Let's start with Narsha. - I think it's a big worry.
I think your mom and brother have shown...
- enough consideration. - That's right.
From now on,
you should show consideration for your family.
- I see. - What about JeA?
You need to be comfortable at home.
If you feel scared at home...
Had it been me, I would have left the house.
Park Kyung.
What changed?
You were on the sister's side. You said it's not a worry.
You said that you understand his sister.
Listening more made me realize she can't be reasoned with.
(She can't be reasoned with.)
I see.
She keeps saying the family should be understanding,
but my mom once told me...
the family is a small society...
you meet before entering the society.
In the society, people who cause inconveniences...
are punished by the law.
I think her proclivity has gone...
beyond the point of understanding.
While it's nice to share what you like,
you are only looking at what you want to see.
If people get scared of my dog during the walk,
I think I should apologize...
and put a muzzle on my dog.
If the others don't like leeches,
you shouldn't say, "I paid to sit at this table."
Such response will make others hate the leeches more.
- That's right. - It's bad for the leeches...
you love.
Block B is cool.
(Jae Hyo thinks it's a worry.)
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Time's up. - Stop.
Please say a few words to your mom and brother.
I had a lot of thoughts.
I also acknowledge I was in the wrong.
In any case,
the leeches need to grow up.
She is stubborn.
(Disappointed)
Please help me.
(I have a headache.)
How can you be like that when your mom hates it so much?
Please find another way...
to live happily and comfortably.
How many votes did they worry get? Please show us the result.
How many out of 200 people voted?
- It's over 100. - 196?
- 196? - 176?
156?
- 176? - It should be over 150.
156?
(156 votes)
That's unexpected.
The 156 people will get a leech each.
(No, thank you.)
"Middle-aged Woman's Struggle".
Hello, I am a woman in my 50s with a struggle.
I get nagged at every time I come home.
- "Gosh!" - He startled me.
"There is dust everywhere. I need to clean up."
"Gosh! There are hairs."
"I need to clean up."
She cleans up all the time.
The person who picks on me is...
my 30-year-old daughter.
She opens all doors and windows despite the cold wave...
and cleans 3 to 6 hours.
- Six hour? - The problem is,
it becomes incredibly uncomfortable at home...
once she cleans up.
"I told you not to make the slightest mess after a clean up!"
"My socks aren't aligned."
"Gosh, there are crumbs."
That's scary.
My daughter drives me crazy.
Why is she obsessed with cleaning up?
Please calm my daughter down.
(Please calm my daughter down.)
All of us have a clean friend...
whose hobby is cleaning.
Their houses are hard to visit.
However, a dirty house puts you at ease.
That's why we often gathered at Kim Sook's house.
(Welcome to Sook's house.)
Let's talk to the person who has sent the worry.
Please come on out.
(Whose daughter is obsessed with cleaning up?)
Please hold her hand.
- Please hold her hand. - Block B.
My goodness.
(Flopping)
(Rushing over)
Ma'am.
- Are you okay? - My gosh.
She must have done that on purpose.
Hold on.
Hello, I am a mom from Yongin.
It's nice to meet you.
How often does your daughter clean the house?
I don't know. Despite her looks,
- she cleans... - What about her looks?
- Does she look dirty? - No.
She cleans the house 2 or 3 times a day.
Sometimes, a clean up lasts for 3 or 6 hours.
(A clean up can last 6 hours.)
That's how she cleans up.
Isn't it nice that the house is becoming clean?
- It might be very tiring though. - In that case,
you should try living with her.
- What? - Once you do that,
you will know how I feel.
Why are you giving me a burden?
How does the family react?
It would be nice if she cleans up quietly...
- by herself. - Quietly.
However, she turns her sibling's room upside down...
and nags.
- Does she scream? - She screams...
and swears.
(No one would like that.)
Do you help her when she cleans up?
Everyone helps,
but it's not to her liking.
She must go, "Stop doing it that way."
That's right.
She does everything again.
Then don't do anything.
If I don't do anything, she nags at me for that.
- "Why won't you help me?" - That's right.
Give her some water.
- Please give me some water. - Your throat became dry.
My throat became dry.
You speak eloquently without getting nervous.
- So I took a relaxing pill. - I see.
Why are you so obsessed about your daughter?
The reason is...
my husband is also tidy.
She's not the only problem. I have two problems.
Yes.
When my husband starts cleaning,
he can't accept a piece of hair or dust.
He cleans it up with a rolled tape.
- Anyway, let's meet your daughter. - Okay.
Why does she clean so much? Nice to meet you. Hello.
(The daughter who bugs her family over cleaning)
Hold your mic.
Do you understand your mother's worry?
- No. Not at all. - I thought so.
In fact, I thought...
she should be thankful...
when I clean up for her.
- How can it take 3 to 6 hours? - Right.
Regardless of the season,
- I leave all the doors and windows. - Okay.
I dust off everything I can like...
blanket, bed sheet or pillow.
I move furniture that I can move...
like a couch and closet.
I wipe the back and the floor.
I start vacuuming.
- I spray air fresher for clean air. - Yes.
After that, I wash a cloth to wipe the TV stand...
- On top of it. - or glass. Everywhere I find.
In case of restroom, there's a bathtub and floor tiles.
I clean it using a toothbrush.
- I used to have a CD stand. - Okay.
- Each CD... - I took each CD out,
- and I cleaned each one of them. - That's not easy.
That's why it takes so long.
Do you feel refreshing after doing that?
- So much. - Mother kept sighing...
next to me, so I counted it.
She sighed eight times while she was talking.
I'm curious about their house. It should be extremely clean.
Not really...
- because... - "Not really."
no matter how much time she spends on cleaning,
it's all there, so it doesn't show.
- Furniture is still there. - Right.
Let's take a look still. Show us.
Gosh, that's so clean.
What do you mean it doesn't show? It's clean.
(It's so neat.)
- It's like a model house. - There's not even a speck of dust.
- Gosh. - Goodness.
(Their mouths open in amazement.)
- It's clean, Mother. - You're clean too.
That gas range looks a bit old, but it's really clean.
- The bathroom. - It's really clean.
I can tell there's no water scum.
It's super clean.
- One more photo. - Goodness.
(She's embarrassed.)
You keep the house so clean.
How about cleaning yourself?
I keep myself clean too.
So you keep yourself clean too.
- I'm okay with everything, - Yes.
but when she cleans, she turns into Hulk.
- Every time she cleans... - You mean she becomes like that.
- Into Hulk. - Right.
It's a problem because she doesn't just clean, but she gets upset...
- and swears when she cleans. - Right.
The whole family gets stressed.
- She doesn't just clean quietly. - But at the same time,
you swear and get mad, but are you cleaning...
to relieve your stress?
It gives a legitimate reason to be mad.
Right.
When I clean,
- all the anger inside me... - Anger.
I vent all that on my family.
- Do you get stressed a lot? - What do you do?
She'd collapse.
Mom says I go on a trip most.
Why I'd be stressed even though I enjoy my life.
I do get stressed.
- What do you do? - From where?
I don't know where I get stressed from.
- The stress. - What do you do?
- I'm sorry, but what do you do? - Why did you bring that up?
- I don't go to work. - Okay.
I'm studying to get a social worker license.
Honestly, studying is not meant for me.
- She doesn't exercise. - So I keep getting stressed.
- Really? - She hasn't found what she likes.
- She doesn't let you make a mess. - No.
She feels like she's on a bed of thorns.
When there's a speck of dust or hair,
she complains and yells.
- Also, I can't drop any food. - Okay.
So I bring it into my room.
- Do you eat secretly? - Of course.
- Why? - I don't want to hear her nagging.
- Like when you drop crumbs? - Yes.
She'd follow me into the room and checks.
Then where do you eat?
It means I should eat outside or on the table.
It's okay to drop food. You can just wipe it.
- She can clean it up. - Why would you nag?
It doesn't just take 30 minutes or an hour.
I spent 3, 4 or 6, 7 hours to clean up.
We can keep things clean together.
No one asked you to do it, but you volunteered.
- I did it, but still. - Okay.
Think about it this way.
What if she keeps telling you not to do something.
- How would you feel? - I wouldn't like it.
- See? - I'd argue with her.
Your mom doesn't like it. You can stop it. You're being selfish.
Yes. I'm selfish, but...
- I'm selfish, but... - She admits it.
- But? - I do admit it.
But I'm stubborn and persistent.
But in terms of cleaning,
I must be the king.
- Why? - Why?
They must obey me, and if anything goes against my rule,
I get annoyed and upset...
that I tend to make a fuss.
But my dad is worse than me.
- Your dad? - I clean the whole house,
but when Dad comes home from work,
he'd vacuum again...
- to clean hair and dust. - Goodness.
He did that yesterday too.
- He cleaned again though I did it. - You must be really worried.
(She must be really worried.)
Who's the person next to her?
She's her aunt. My sister.
- Your sister? - Hello.
Hello.
Were you aware that your sister runs away every day because of her?
- It's been about 10 years. - Goodness.
She's been running away for 10 years?
- I live about 200m away from her. - That's so close.
She usually comes to my house.
She doesn't give me notice.
When she's stressed or something come up,
she starts cleaning, and her whole family has to leave.
I can't tell my sister not to come.
She comes upset.
- It's like, "She's doing it again." - Right.
I listen to her complaining for a long time.
After listening to her for three hours, it's dinner.
Then I make dinner for her.
She'd say, "It's delicious. I couldn't cook today."
She'd take the side dish home.
She'd take it home.
Are you telling us your worry?
- Right. - I want to report it.
- Just because of one person. - Right.
Because of Eun Sang, not only her family is stressed,
- but my family is also stressed. - Her family too.
Has she ever cleaned your house?
No. She never cleaned my house before.
What? She has never cleaned my house before.
Have you ever thought she has gone too far...
- even though she's your own niece? - Of course.
When did you feel that she has gone too far?
She was very sick once.
- Your sister? - Yes.
She started cleaning without notice on that day.
My sister was lying on bed after taking medicine.
- That's annoying. - She told her to get up.
She could just say she was sick.
She told her she was sick,
then she said, "You're acting sick to stop me from cleaning."
I think that's what she thinks when I'm sick in bed.
Why were you sick?
I have high liver enzyme level.
I raised three children.
- I also have thyroid nodules. - Goodness.
After working all day from Monday to Friday,
- You're right. - so I get lazy without realizing.
- Back then I also caught the cold, - It was the worst.
so it was the worst. I was sick for three days.
Do you want to clean even though your mom's sick?
- Do you still clean? - Yes.
Your mom is sick.
I must clean first.
- Why? - Actually...
I can't stand the mess, so I have to.
I hate stepping on dust on the floor.
- Do you feel it? - I do.
You can tell Mom is different than usual.
- No, I can't. - What?
I don't know. I found out later that she was sick.
- You can go like this. - That's not it.
- Once she focuses on cleaning, - She's focused.
- she can't see other things. - Can't you?
No. I must do it.
- What if Mom looks really sick, - Okay.
but you feel like cleaning? Do you still have to do it?
- I do. Then I tell Mom... - Goodness.
I'll clean your room first.
- She can go rest in the other room. - Come on.
I'll clean up her bedroom fast,
so she can go back to her room and sleep.
(Sighing)
Just like what your aunt said.
Why don't you set a date for cleaning?
- Can't you do that? - She can't.
Only those who love cleaning...
and clean regularly can do it.
She has to clean when she's stressed...
- and have to relieve her stress. - It's nonsense.
How can you feel stepping on dust?
- What's ironic is that... - You can't.
- you don't enjoy cleaning. - But she said she can.
She doesn't enjoy cleaning.
I've never seen this except on "Mom's Diary".
- I mean... - Did something happen to her...
when she was in her early 20s?
Because that's when it started.
You think something happened to her, right?
Ask her.
When I was young, I was an athlete.
- Okay. - Then...
the disk broke when I was in high school,
so the lower half of my body was paralysed.
After that, I had to stop.
What I want to do now is sweating and working out,
but I can't, so I started cleaning.
When I clean, I sweat so much.
I told her not to clean for too long because her waist hurts.
I'm actually grateful that she cleans for me.
- She had a surgery like 10 times. - Goodness.
- Because of the disk. - Goodness.
Why do you clean so much even after all those surgeries?
I had a treatment too. I even had one 2 or 3 months ago.
She had a treatment recently.
They're laughing in the back. Do you think she can put leech on?
Oh, she's in the back.
She was laughing in the back.
Did she say that by any chance?
Please pass the mic to her. Please be honest.
- See? - No. No.
Let's ask her little brother. Did your sister say that?
As soon as she heard it, she told Mom,
"Leeches are the answer."
How many would she need?
She can begin with four.
I found out about it because...
she said something to her mom, and she laughed like this.
(She's embarrassed.)
You relieve your stress by doing that.
Have you thought about how stressed your mom would be?
- How about your aunt? - I haven't thought about it.
- Mom... - Because she's your mom?
- She's my mom. - How does that make sense?
- Mom should take everything. - How about your aunt?
- Wait. - You should...
- say something to her too, Mom. - Why would she take that?
You think she needs to put up with everything because she's a mom.
- That's what she says. - She's a mom.
- What does that mean? - I don't understand it.
- There's no other reason. - Wait.
- You're her daughter. - This is crazy.
I am her daughter. She's older than me.
- Since you're her daughter, - That's not how it works.
and since you are younger, shouldn't you respect her more?
- Why? - Do you think...
your parents have to put up with everything forever?
Right.
- Even until they die? - Yes.
I will go take care of her.
Unless my appendix bursts and I roll around the floor,
I have to clean.
Your mother was worried about your back...
- getting worse than it is now. - Yes.
So how can you talk about your mother like that?
(How could she?)
- Cleaning is not the problem. - It's not.
I couldn't understand...
why she would swear in front of her mom while cleaning.
It's beyond my understanding.
It's nice that they're like friends.
But how could a grown-up daughter like her do that?
I would understand it if she was going through puberty.
This is not about the cleaning. There's a much bigger problem...
- behind this problem. - There must be a bigger issue.
Could you have spoiled her by letting her do whatever she wants?
My husband likes drinking, and she likes drinking too.
There's the drinking issue too.
We always fight because of the cleaning issue.
After a fight, she would often go out for a drink...
and if she doesn't come home after midnight, I get worried.
One day, I kept calling her, and she picked up in the end.
When I went there, I found out that she had vent out...
the built-up anger from our fight...
by hitting a tree. She was under the influence of alcohol.
She hurt herself by hitting the tree.
I took her to the emergency room,
and she ended up wearing a cast.
I think she got treated for at least 10 days.
That's why I just end up putting up with her.
- She's got a back problem. - So you put up with her.
- That's wrong. - When you...
While hitting the tree, she must've thought,
"When I get hurt, Mom will be sad."
That's what she must've thought.
That's what you do to make the other person feel bad after a fight.
She knew you'd feel bad if she does that.
And it's the worst.
What were you thinking when you were hitting the tree?
We had a fight...
because of a small problem.
But I didn't feel good. So I went out...
for a few drinks.
But the more drinks I had, the more upset I got.
Why would she get upset at me for cleaning the house for her?
- She should be thankful. - Nobody...
does what I tell them to do.
- Things didn't go as you wanted. - Right. And I got irritated.
But who would make me feel better?
You know that you are very self-centered, right?
- I know. - You must know.
- I know. - It's very bad.
"This is who I am. What can you do about it?"
"Either put up with me or don't. This is who I am."
It's impossible to communicate with someone like that.
She put up with you because she's your mother.
If you do that to a stranger, you'd get into a fight.
Do you act selfish when you're with your friends too?
- She must be good to her friends. - I don't act selfish to my friends.
- I knew it. - Then...
- she's a coward. - That's worse.
- To my friends... - Why do you do that to your mom?
That's worse. You know your mother's weakness...
and use that to your advantage.
- When I... - What has she done to you?
When I am outside with friends,
I am very understanding to them. I laugh with them,
and I understand everything they do.
I understand everything they do...
- because I can't get mad at them. - Go on.
So I vent out the anger when I get home.
That's what the older generation fathers used to do.
They submitted to everyone...
they met outside. They were incapable of doing anything outside.
But at home, in front of their vulnerable children and wife,
they turned into a tyrant.
- They were cowards. - Yes.
Why are you so nice to other people?
Why don't you just be yourself? Why do you suppress your anger?
Everyone has a different personality.
- How about your mother? - She's afraid to lose them.
- Is that it? - Well...
- That's one of the reasons. - If we go deeper.
I don't like them commenting...
- about my personality. - Of course you don't.
I am not always bad to Mom.
It's only when I am cleaning.
As long as she doesn't touch me when I'm cleaning, she's fine.
But you clean too often.
In the past, I used to clean 6 or 7 days a week.
- So... - Now I clean only once in two days.
Let's say...
your dad is the sweetest man when he's outside. People praise him.
But when he comes home,
he yells at your mom for not cleaning.
While cleaning the house, he yells and curses at her.
He vents out his anger at her. Is that good?
He shouldn't do that.
- Why not? - But that's you.
- Why can't your dad do that? - You do it.
Let's say he hits his children too. When people blame him,
he says what's wrong with him beating his own children.
He says that's how he de-stresses.
He says it's okay because they are his children.
He says he never does that to anyone else.
He says he's allowed to beat them until the day he dies.
- Let's say he says that. - He says he can treat them.
We have never been this upset, you know?
Tell us.
I don't hit my mom.
- It's just a hypothesis. - Of course you don't.
I don't hit my mom.
Are you saying that you are better...
because you don't hit your mother?
If you continue to treat her badly, I will treat her badly too.
- That's not okay. - Why is it not okay?
Are you the only one who can treat her badly since you're her daughter?
Even her own daughter doesn't treat her well. Why should I?
When we question her daughter,
she becomes very anxious.
- She wanted to come here though. - It's because she's her daughter.
- Is this not what you wanted? - She just feels bad.
My goodness.
- She must feel bad. - She must.
She has to stay home.
Even if she gets a job, because of her back problem,
she often gets hospitalized, and she can't go to work.
She's unemployed now,
but I am more worried about her future.
(She's worried about her daughter's health and future.)
Have you thought of any other way to relieve stress?
- You can do something else. - Something other than cleaning.
- No. - No?
- Never? - Never.
She's still getting the rehabilitation treatment,
and she exercises.
But she says sweating while cleaning is different.
Do you want to go to a sauna?
- There's a good one. - I don't like sweating on purpose.
She doesn't like that.
What does cleaning mean in your life?
(What is cleaning to her?)
Honestly, I don't like cleaning.
- Right. It's not that you like it. - She doesn't like it.
But when I think about cleaning,
I become so sensitive that I can't even fall asleep.
- Except for 2 to 3 days in a year, - She's sensitive.
I always dream.
When I open my eyes, I feel exhausted.
The doctor can't understand why I am so stressed.
He said I have an anger management issue.
I can't exercise. I can't do anything I like.
So if she tells me not to clean...
I have no other way to vent out my anger.
You can't be too mean...
to your friends and to other people around you.
But you have to express your feeling when you are outside.
You should also relieve stress outside.
When you get home,
if you want to clean, you clean.
- Just don't swear. Don't yell. - Just do it quietly.
Don't get irritated.
She doesn't like cleaning. She likes swearing while cleaning.
You should stop thinking that your mom has to put up with you.
Stop putting the blame on her. You are 30 years old now.
You are no longer a minor.
You should've moved out of your house a long time ago.
You are currently living off your parents.
- When she talks... - It's not your house.
- When... - Change the way you think.
If there's anything you want to tell her, this is your chance.
You go in and out of clinic all the time for your back problem.
I don't know why you still insist on cleaning in that condition.
I hope you will clean less for your own sake.
Narsha will vote first.
I think it's a worry.
It seems that she's very temperamental.
I always say this to my husband.
I always tell him that bad mood doesn't change anything.
Things happen for a reason.
So I hope she will relax a little.
I think it's a serious worry.
She doesn't seem to understand her mom at all.
I believe this is something she should work on.
Park Kyung, you can't seem to communicate with her, can you?
I want to give her a light hit on the head.
- That's a first. - Like this.
- Do you think it's a worry? - I think it's a worry.
The cleaning issue is only one side of the problem.
I think it all stems from her relationship with her mother.
Listening to her story,
I was both envious of her and scared of her.
I went abroad to study when I was in middle school.
So I envied her at first.
I realized you can fight over such small things when you live together.
I thought they looked happy.
- What did you think afterwards? - Familiarity is a scary thing.
When a person gets familiar with something,
- you forget how precious it is. - You become ungrateful.
I think they should try to dwell on that.
When I listened to their story,
I realized I should cherish the things around me.
Right. They forgot about what really matters to them.
Block B is good.
You are quite expressive, you know?
But by doing so, you are hurting your loved ones.
For that I think it is a big worry.
I also think it's a worry.
Cleaning is not the issue.
You vent out your anger by swearing at your family.
You are aware of it,
and yet you cover it up by saying...
that you do it for the love of cleaning. That's very scary.
If you sympathize, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, - 5, 4, 3, 2,
- 1. - 1. Stop.
Do you want to say something to your mom?
I am not always bad, you know? I'm bad when I'm cleaning.
I am grateful that you always put up with me.
- Lovely. - I feel sorry to you.
But I want to ask you a favour.
I hope you won't stop me from cleaning.
How many times a week will you clean?
- Three times. - It's okay if you clean.
You just shouldn't swear at her.
- I won't. - Don't nag at her.
You shouldn't think that doing something good like cleaning...
gives you the right to belittle other people.
That's very bad. It's terrible.
The previous story got 156 votes.
Let's see how many this one got.
Let's see if it's more than 156.
The last digit is nine.
Is it 159?
I think it's better to get sucked by leeches.
- I thought that was the worst. - What is it?
It's 159.
You got the two digits right.
This story is titled "Come On, Honey".
Hello, I am a man who's been married for exactly a year.
I always tell my lovely wife this.
"My darling."
"I will work hard and make you happy."
"I'm too lazy."
"Let's just go with the flow."
My wife is the laziest person ever.
When I come home from work... "Did you not wash your hair?"
"I am too lazy."
"There's no clean towel. Why didn't you do laundry?"
"I am lazy."
The house is always messy.
She's too lazy to cook, so she only cooks rice.
(She doesn't prepare anything else.)
When she cooks,
"It's so salty! How can we eat this?"
"I didn't taste it because I was too lazy."
(That's how a lazy person cooks.)
"Cooking is not my thing."
"Why are you doing this?"
"If you keep doing this, I'll send a letter to Hello."
"As you wish. I feel so lazy."
That's why I sent the letter. Isn't it worrying?
Please help me.
(He asked us for help.)
Let's hear more from him.
Please come on out.
(Who is the man worried about his lazy wife?)
Welcome.
He's very young.
(Welcome.)
My goodness.
Welcome.
Is she really that lazy? How bad is it?
Actually, today is our first wedding anniversary.
- Is it? - Yes.
Congratulations.
You came to expose her on your wedding anniversary.
Yes.
We lived together for a year,
but she has never made me breakfast.
- Never? - Never.
When I come home from work, I ask her, "What's for dinner?"
And it's always just rice.
Do you have to order food all the time then?
Yes. We either order food or go out to eat.
When you don't taste your food while cooking, you can't finish it.
- Right. - Does she not taste her food?
The soups she can make are kimchi jjigae, doenjang jjigae,
eomuk tang, and sundubu jjigae. Those four.
- That's quite good. - That's not bad.
But the problem is after adding all the ingredients,
she doesn't taste it.
- She makes me taste it. - She makes you season it.
- She doesn't taste it. - I asked her why she doesn't do it.
And she said it's because she's too lazy.
(I want to eat a good home-cooked meal.)
Do you both work?
- No. - I am curious.
What? No?
My wife stays at home. I work alone.
- What does she do at home? - She stays at home, and you work.
- Yes. - What does she do at home?
(Does she just breathe?)
Is she just lying at home?
- She's taking care of the baby. - The baby.
- You have a baby. - You have a baby.
- She takes care of the baby. - What do you do now?
I run a small restaurant.
Because I run it alone, I make food and serve.
- Is it just you? - Yes, it's just me.
I go to work at 10am every morning and finish at 10pm.
- That's tough. - That must be tough.
When I get home after working until 10pm,
- You would be exhausted. - the house is dirty.
So I clean the house,
and I sometimes cook too.
Oh, dear. Have you talked to her seriously about this?
I feel like talking to a wall.
When I tell her we should be better,
she asks why we can't just loosen up a bit.
Sometimes, she doesn't wash her hair for 4 to 5 days.
(She doesn't wash her hair for 4 to 5 days.)
(Are they really newly-weds?)
Did you not know anything about this before you got married?
My friends stopped me from marrying her.
Was it that serious?
I thought she would change when we get married.
- When... - I think I know who she is.
It seems like she didn't put any effort into dressing up.
She's wearing a comfortable matching outfit.
- It's monotone too. - That's how she must dress at home.
- She just got up and came here. - She must've came straight here.
- I thought she was from a temple. - Was she like that...
(She looks like she just came from a temple.)
(She got something on her pants too.)
- We were supposed to leave at 10am. - She's dressed so comfortably.
And she got up around 9:30am.
- And? - You had to leave by 10am.
She must've washed her hair since she's going on TV.
She didn't wash her hair.
(No way.)
No way. She's been exposed.
She got 30 minutes before we left.
I am thankful that she managed to get here.
Let's meet her with a grateful mind.
Hello.
(Who is his lazy wife?)
- She's pretty. - Please hold up the mic.
- Hello. - Hello.
Is what he said true? Are you that lazy?
Yes. I don't want to do anything.
Did you wear the matching shirt and pants because you're lazy?
No. That's not why.
- Did you carefully choose it then? - No.
- I just... - You blend in with the wall.
(She's the same colour as the wall behind her.)
(She becomes one with the wall.)
It's true.
It looks like she's stuck to the wall.
- Right. - It's as if her head is floating.
Is it that difficult to cook him a hearty meal when he comes home?
That's not much to ask, is it?
I cook him rice.
- But you only cook rice. - You only cook rice.
Yes. Only rice.
(What's the problem?)
- How about other dishes? - How about other dishes?
He can just eat what's in the fridge.
- You could put them on a plate. - No.
- I don't do that. - You could...
"Why would I do that?"
Why don't you taste your food?
- Pardon me? - Why don't you taste your food?
I don't like tasting my food. So I don't.
But you won't know how it tastes unless you taste it.
My husband can taste it.
Do you not eat your food then?
I eat it only after he tastes it.
Let's say you cooked it.
If it turns out to be salty, does he add water and cook it again?
- Yes. - Then why do you bother to cook?
(She shouldn't bother to cook.)
But I still need to cook.
Do you cook based on your experience?
Or do you cook based on a recipe you found online?
I cook based on a recipe. I wing it when I add ingredients.
You wing it.
(It's hard to understand her.)
What do you think is your job in your family?
Our baby is nine months old.
So my job is to take care of the baby.
Today is your first wedding anniversary.
You have a nine-month-old baby.
When you got married, was she seven months pregnant?
- She was six months pregnant. - Why was she fast then?
- Didn't you feel lazy? - Didn't you feel lazy?
(There are some things she doesn't feel lazy about.)
She must've been impatient to have a baby.
She must be tired of taking care of the baby.
Can't you understand her?
She's not very good at taking care of the baby either.
- Is she? - It was before...
we bought a baby bottle sterilizer.
The feeding bottles are supposed to be disinfected in boiling water.
She didn't do that for five days.
(That's terrible for the child.)
She only washed it with water.
- The baby bottle, you mean. - She would feed the baby...
- That's serious. - the baby food once in five days.
One time, she didn't feed the baby the baby food for five days.
- You mean the baby food? - Yes.
What does she do then? Do you just mix the formula?
That's not all I do. I am doing a lot.
I only make baby food once in a while,
but it's too difficult for me. So I want my husband to help me.
But he doesn't help me.
When she was 7 or 8 months pregnant,
the doctor said the baby was upside down.
Whenever I came home and asked her if she exercised,
she said she did. She skipped it many times.
The baby ended up...
- staying that way. - Really?
So she had to get a surgery before the due date.
Shouldn't you have exercised?
It wasn't that dangerous.
- That's dangerous. - And I did what I can,
but he's not aware of it.
- But... - Let's ask her what she did.
The cat pose.
The cat pose. Do you mean this?
- Yes. - This?
This?
That's a tiger pose.
(Laughing)
Didn't the doctor advise you to take a walk?
She didn't.
Did the doctor only mention the cat pose?
- Is that why you only did that? - Yes.
(That's why I only did the cat pose.)
Despite her laziness,
she managed to cook a few things for us.
- Really? - Did she not taste it?
- Did you not taste it? - I will...
She didn't taste it.
Give us seasoning so we can season it properly.
I told her we have eight.
But she managed to cook just one serving.
- It was too tough for her. - I like her.
- Wait. - She said she'd do it.
And she started cooking yesterday at around 4:30 am.
Did she wake up for it?
No. That's when she came home after drinking.
- Your wife? - Then it must be even worse.
Don't you feel lazy to go outside to drink?
- No, I love drinking. - She likes drinking.
I am thankful that she made...
one serving of food after a night of drinking.
(Let's try a serving of food.)
My goodness.
- Try it. - I can't wait to find out...
- how it tastes. - There is soup.
- Shall we open the containers? - How will the food taste?
- It's fish cake soup. - Fish cake soup.
Fish cake soup, kimchi jjigae, and doenjang jjigae were brought up.
- Japchae. - The dishes look delicious.
What is this?
These dishes are bound to be tasty.
- They are tasty. - She brought...
- delicious dishes. - Let's try japchae.
(Smelling)
- All right. - I want a quail egg.
I smelled the soup.
I think it smells bland.
- Smell it. - Is that yukgaejang?
- What is this? Kimchi jjigae? - Smell it first.
- Is it kimchi jjigae? - It's kimchi jjigae.
It smells bland, right?
(Smelling)
- It looks bland. - It looks bland.
Fish cake soup...
(Jae Hyo wants to try jangjorim.)
- Fish cake soup looks tasty. - It smells good.
How does the quail egg taste?
(My tongue is under attack.)
- What's wrong? - Jae Hyo.
Jae Hyo, eat some rice.
- What's wrong? - Try it.
- Is it really that bad? - It's supposed to be salty.
You can't mess up quail eggs.
It's not usually like this.
(The noodles took the shape of the container.)
- It's not usually like this. - Yes. It's not usually like this.
- It's not usually like this. - What is that?
It's not usually like this.
(It's not yakbap.)
I thought it was yakbap for a second.
(I am embarrassed.)
Are you okay?
(That's incredible.)
My tongue hurts.
Are you okay?
(She tries jangjorim.)
(My goodness.)
Tell me how it tastes.
It's so salty that my tongue hurts.
My tongue hurts.
(Choking)
- It's too salty. - You know,
I usually like my food salty, but this is too much.
For one quail egg,
you will need three spoonful of rice.
- It's salty. - It begs for rice.
- How is it so salty? - This is enough to finish the rice.
- It begs for rice. - It begs for rice.
(The level of saltiness is shocking.)
You will need three spoonful of rice.
(Chan Woo tries kimchi jjigae.)
(Well...)
- It begs for rice. - It begs for rice.
What is this taste?
You didn't season these dishes, did you?
What is this taste?
She didn't season it.
- She didn't season it. - Is this kimchi jjigae?
What is this taste?
This is bland too.
This is the taste I have never had before...
even though it's kimchi jjigae.
Fish cake soup only smells like fish cake.
- That's the soup. - What is this taste?
This one...
(Tasting)
- This one isn't cooked. - Really?
- Eat the cooked part. - I don't know.
- It only smells like fish cake. - This is incredible.
- There is the lack of taste. - What's surprising is that...
kimchi jjigae and fish cake soup taste similar.
That's right.
What is this taste?
This is...
The two different dishes have the same taste.
Let me ask this to the wife.
- How did you season fish cake soup? - I added salt.
- Did you add salt? - Yes.
When you made kimchi jjigae,
did you stir-fry kimchi before boiling it with water?
No.
(He has no words.)
He has no words.
(You now know how serious it is.)
Kimchi jjigae...
As for fish cake soup,
it only smells like fish cake.
- This one isn't cooked. - Really?
- The noodles are firm. - It tastes like...
the noodles you get under sashimi.
The noodles you get under sashimi.
(It tastes like kelp noodles.)
Noodles in japchae...
- usually aren't so under-cooked. - They are firm.
I wish I could let everyone in the studio...
- taste these dishes. - Seriously.
It's not about lacking cooking skills.
How should I put it?
What is this taste?
It's the taste...
- I have never had. - He's right.
The side dishes are so salty...
that I need this much rice for one piece.
- Please cut a quail egg in half. - The rice is the tastiest.
Did you make the rice?
- No. - It's instant rice.
- The production crew prepared it. - It's instant rice.
- It's from a convenience store. - No wonder it's so tasty.
I need this much rice since the side dishes are so salty.
(Are those dishes that bad?)
(The perfect ratio between rice and jangjorim)
I don't know...
- what this taste is. - This is perfect.
(It's just right now.)
Look.
- In japchae are two ingredients, - There is no meat.
bell pepper and glass noodles.
- I added onions too. - It has two ingredients.
There are bell pepper and glass noodles.
- There is nothing else. - It's a shame it has no meat.
It has no meat.
Jangjorim doesn't have meat either.
(Her lack of care is apparent in her dishes.)
How did you decide on these dishes?
They are my husband's favourite.
- They are your husband's favourite. - I see.
Japchae, jangjorim...
Let's have her husband eat these dishes.
She says he likes these dishes.
I am the most curious about kimchi jjigae.
She says he likes these dishes.
Here. Tell us if this is how jangjorim usually tastes.
Did she do a better job today?
(Nervous)
- Does he need rice? - He needs rice.
He needs to eat it with rice.
(He is in desperate need of rice.)
Do you want more?
(How is this my life?)
(Is it that bad?)
Their acquaintances are here.
- Let's talk to them. Hello. - Hello.
How do you know the two of them?
I have been friends with Hae Il since high school.
I am one of the friends who told him not to get married.
Why did you do that?
They used to work at the same company.
I thought they would do the household chores equally.
Hae Il does the laundry and dishes...
and cooks.
His wife watches TV...
and asks him to get her a glass of water.
They lived together before getting married.
- Many couples do that these days. - It looks like they did that.
- Yes. - I was against the marriage...
because I knew it would be hard.
- However, he didn't listen. - You know, they aren't bad people.
- No, they aren't. - However, I feel so frustrated.
There is a heavy weight on my chest.
I need soda.
You let her be for too long.
- That's right. - It's hard to change her now.
Why did you do everything for her?
She can't do anything by herself.
She can't shop for groceries by herself.
I have to go with her to shop for groceries.
Before she goes out, she always asks, "What should I wear?"
She always asks what the baby should wear.
"How many handkerchiefs and diaper should I pack?"
Even when I am working,
she calls me to ask what she should do.
My head hurts.
That's stressful.
When she goes to a hair salon,
she can't tell the hairdresser what she wants.
- I go and talk for her. - That's too much.
She can't order deliveries.
- Deliveries? - Why can't she do that?
I think she makes me do it because I am the man.
She has a problem with decision making.
Why do you ask your husband about everything?
I think...
my husband knows more.
What do you mean by that?
It's his first time raising a child too.
Before you got married,
whom did you ask these questions?
- My friends. - Your friends?
She has a problem with decision making.
Don't you think so?
I think it's a big problem.
She asks me what she should do every time the baby cries.
- For goodness' sake. - When the baby flips over,
she can't change the diaper. She asks me what she should do.
I can't do anything for her because I am at work.
- No, you can't. - When I get those calls,
I get frustrated.
Why can't you change the diaper when your baby flips over?
- You can flip him back. - Then he would flip over again.
Then you can flip him back.
- He would run away. - Then you can flip him back.
- He runs away. - Does he run away?
- Yes. - Is he fast as a cheetah?
No.
"He already went that far!"
"My baby!"
Is the child that fast?
Let's say you asked...
and he told you to pack four handkerchiefs.
You can pack four handkerchiefs without asking the next time.
I still have to ask.
- You still have to ask. - "How many do I need?"
(Screaming)
- You know the answer. - No.
- You don't know. - No.
You don't know how many handkerchief you should take.
No.
You don't know how much baby formula you need.
No.
You should learn.
Have you gone a day without calling your husband?
No, I haven't.
(She depends on her husband for everything.)
It's impossible for her.
One time, she had to get her ID picture taken.
She told me she can't go alone.
She can't go alone to get her ID picture taken.
I closed down the restaurant for an hour...
to go with her.
This is too much.
Why can't you go alone...
- to get your ID picture taken? - Why can't you?
It's an impossible task...
with a baby.
You can ask the employee to hold the baby for a second.
There are no employees other than the photographer.
There must be a baby chair.
- How about a stroller? - There were no such things.
- No? - No.
For goodness' sake.
(Frustrated)
There must be some ways you don't understand your husband.
When my husband comes home,
he helps me for a while and plays computer games.
He plays computer games until 3am.
When the baby wakes up in the middle of the night,
he stays focused on computer games.
He doesn't run over.
I want to talk to him, but it's impossible.
He plays computer games all night.
I try to talk to him,
but he stares at his phone at meal times.
I understand Hae Il's wife a bit.
No wife thinks,
"He needs to relieve his stress by playing computer games."
She will know that he struggled only if he goes to bed early.
- Every night, - "He must have energy."
he plays computer games.
Sometimes, doing what you like heals you more than just sleeping.
Your wife is forced to do chores and take care of the baby.
- Right. - I said it out of anger.
I'm sorry.
No.
What is the family that you dreamed of?
A harmonious and happy family.
Do you think you're harmonious and happy?
No. I don't think we're harmonious.
What do you think the reason is?
Do you think it's your husband? Because he plays game?
- Yes. - And playing on his cell phone?
- Yes. - How about yourself?
I don't think I've done anything wrong.
(She doesn't feel anything after this long conversation.)
I'm sorry, Park Kyung.
- It's fine. - I think the husband has to...
play the computer game to escape.
Now I realize it. I'm sorry.
(Cheer up, Husband.)
When I talk to her, and if she doesn't like it,
she doesn't talk to me at all.
I got upset, so I left.
She locked the door, so I couldn't go in.
We had a meeting with my family during daytime.
We had a quarrel, and my wife got upset,
so she kept sleeping even though the baby was crying.
Even though we had to leave for the meeting.
I told my mom I'm going alone because my wife is sick.
When I came back home,
(She was upset until he made her feel better.)
She was still sleeping.
You were aware you had a meeting.
You knew you were going to have lunch with his parents.
But we had a fight the day before,
- so I didn't know. - That's between you two.
Do you not care about anything when you have a fight?
- I think so. - She's like that.
When you're upset, you just do what you feel like.
Don't you think that cuts off the conversation more?
No, I don't think so.
Every time you have a fight, you have to make her feel better.
She calls even though she can do it by herself. She's like a child.
Is it because your mother spoiled you when you were a child?
How was your childhood?
My childhood was...
I lived with my grandmother.
- With your grandmother. - Yes. So...
- I think that's why. - Your grandmother spoiled you.
To Wife, her husband is more than just a husband.
More than that. He's a mother, father,
and son-in-law. She probably decided to marry him...
because she can reveal what she lacks to him.
Do you think you had that before the marriage?
- No. - Right. I was wrong.
Right. I was wrong.
(She made a big mistake.)
Look.
- Usually... - I'm bad at reading people.
I don't know anything. I'm not even married yet.
- Just think about it. - Whatever.
I'm going to keep leeches.
What do you think of a wife like her, Park Kyung?
I think it's impossible to communicate with her.
I think Narsha is an expert at this since she got married earlier.
- Honestly, I'm upset. - To the husband or wife?
- To the wife. - A vote for her?
Because...
(She's upset.)
What?
- Are you crying? Why? - She must be upset.
There are some things that she understands.
She understands the wife's situation.
She didn't have a mother who could take care of her...
when she needed help.
She got pregnant before learning...
how to express herself and what is right.
- Right? - I think...
the wife should be more responsible.
- She shouldn't give up. - She should overcome it.
(She hopes that she will try harder.)
The wife is crying. What does that mean?
Suddenly...
I became sad.
See if this is right.
You want your husband to love you,
but do you cry because it doesn't work as you wanted?
I think so.
Can you tell us how you feel yourself?
I wasn't a good wife to my husband.
Also,
I think I was too mean to him.
I feel sorry.
Do you think...
if you had someone to teach you,
your husband wouldn't have suffered this time?
- No. - I'm sorry.
(She failed to cover it up.)
- I don't know anything. - She's attractive.
