- National Competition on Worries! - National Competition on Worries!
Let me introduce our today's guests. The greatest diva Baek Z Young.
(Baek Z Young, the queen of ballad)
Hello, everyone.
Woo Hyun, Dong Woo, and Sung Jong of Infinite.
Welcome!
(Woo Hyun, Dong Woo, and Sung Jong of Infinite)
Welcome. And Kang Min Kyung and Lee Hae Ri of Davichi.
Welcome.
(Congratulations on the 10th anniversary of Davichi.)
Z Young, it's good to see you again. I haven't seen you for a long time.
Exactly. It's so good to see you again.
How have you been?
Well... I took a break for a while...
to have a baby, but now, I'm working busily again.
I'm curious about this personally. Is your baby a girl or a boy?
- She's a girl. - She must be adorable.
- You must've been really curious. - Yes, I was.
You must ask if you have a question.
Does she resemble you or her dad?
Fortunately, she resembles her dad.
- What? Why did you say that? - Why?
- You're pretty. - If she resembles her dad,
she won't have to spend money on her face.
(No one knows what to say.)
- My goodness. - But...
A daughter who resembles her dad usually has a masculine face.
She got only good features from him like long eyelashes,
- long eyes, - She must be lovely.
and a small face.
Since her mom is a singer, when she sings a lullaby...
- I'm sure she likes it. - But if she sings a sad ballad...
Her daughter cried when she sang.
- That's true. - Because the song was sad?
- I heard she cried. - Yes, she did. I sang...
Doesn't it feel like her mom is going to leave her soon?
- It feels like she'll leave soon. - It sounds so sad.
(When her mom leaves home)
(To pick oysters)
- It sounds so sad. - Please don't go.
(The baby is left alone)
- The baby is left alone. - The lyrics...
- It's a sad song. - Why does she leave the baby alone?
- The baby stays at home alone. - Z Young's voice...
- Yes, Sung Jong. - I love her song, "I Won't Love".
- Do you? - Then sing a bit for us.
Dong Woo, Woo Hyun, please sing instead of me. I have a cold.
(Why did you bring that up?)
- He's still... - You said you love that song.
- I do, but my throat hurts so much. - "I have a cold."
- A cold is going around. - Right.
- That's right. - A cold is going around.
What about you, Min Kyung and Hae Ri?
- "That Woman" is my favorite. - Among Z Young's songs.
- It's a great song. - "That Woman" is a good song.
(Hae Ri's version of "That Woman")
How much longer
- My goodness. - Should I
Gosh.
(She reached an emotional climax.)
Z Young, do you hate how she sings?
(Do you hate how she sings?)
- No, it's not like that. - You look like you hate it.
- Did you not like it at all? - She sang in a high key.
- Right? - Yes. She's amazing.
Exactly. I like Infinite's new song.
- Thank you. - "Tell Me" is so popular.
- Infinite. - Show us your dance.
- We'll show you. - Please show us.
Will they dance?
(Wherever I go or wherever I am, I miss you terribly)
(Dancing powerfully)
You look awesome!
(Pouting)
(They give off a lot of energy.)
(They make your heart flutter.)
(He scrunches up his face.)
(He looks a bit overzealous.)
(Slipping)
Good job.
(Well done.)
It's very rare to see an idol group dance in socks on a TV show.
- Socks stage. - Exactly.
- Socks stage. - This is a socks stage.
You've been working together for 10 years,
and Infinite members have been working together for 7 years.
Is there anything about each other that still makes you upset?
Hae Ri couldn't drink at all before.
Whenever I asked her to have just one drink with me,
she said she hated drinking. But while playing in a musical,
she learned how to drink from the cast members.
They drink a lot while practicing.
- Of course. - There were a lot of get-togethers.
She didn't drink with me when I begged her.
I felt like my heart dropped at that moment.
- He was very good at mixing drinks. - Maybe she was interested in a guy.
He was good at making cocktails.
He made a cocktail.
- It was so sweet. - I see.
I couldn't drink soju before then.
I got a little tipsy, and the drink was so sweet.
Also, I had a small amount of drink. That's how I started drinking.
I see. What is it?
Sweet drinks make you drunk faster.
When a man is interested in a woman, he make a sweet drink...
for her like that.
- To make her drunk fast. - One of the actors...
- One of the actors liked her. - To make her drunk fast?
- To make her drunk fast? - I mean, to make her go home early.
- What do you mean by that? - I don't know.
- I see. - To make her go home early?
- Meet me alone some time. - Sung Jong.
So we can have an interesting talk.
Today, we have three keywords as always.
Show us the keywords please.
"Are You Alive?"
"The Unspeakable story".
"The Forced Military Enlistment".
We have received a desperate letter.
"Are You Alive?"
Hello. I'm a woman in my 30s who lives in Busan.
I've made a big decision...
to reveal the embarrassing fact about my family.
It's about my elder sister who turned 33 this year.
It was when I was in school.
"Hey, where are you going? What's in that bag?"
"Well, nothing. I'll just step out briefly."
My sister said she would step out briefly,
but she actually left home.
Because of my sister who ran away from home so often,
I spent half of my school days on looking for my sister.
Even after she became an adult,
she came home no more than 5 times in 1 year.
- Only five times? - Yes.
"Hi. I'm home."
"Is it really you? Gosh. How have you been?"
"Do you know how much we worried about you?"
"I'm out of money. Where's Dad?"
She comes home when she runs out of money...
and leaves home once she gets money.
But there's a bigger problem.
The doorbell rings. "Who is it?"
"I have a registered mail for you."
The doorbell rings. "Here's another registered mail for you."
"A registered mail. A registered mail."
Instead of my sister, we've been receiving...
registered mails for her.
And it's all about her debt that we have to pay off.
Oh, no.
All of my family members are about to collapse.
I wonder where my sister is and what she's doing.
Please find my sister. I'm begging you.
- That's the end of the letter. - Gosh.
- It's unbelievable. - It must be stressful.
- It's understandable for a teen... - It's understandable.
to run away from home, but she didn't stop...
- even after becoming an adult. - She comes home five times a year.
- That's right. - It's okay for her to live alone...
as she's an adult.
- But she keeps causing trouble. - That's right.
Did you guys make your parents worry when you were younger?
- I didn't run away from home, - I see.
but I said I would leave home and didn't go home for a few days.
- That's running away from home. - You ran away from home.
- But I let them know. - You ran away from home.
- You ran away from home. - I at least told my parents.
- So you didn't run away from home? - I told them I would leave home.
- Did you tell them? - Did you also tell them...
where you would be?
- I didn't tell them where I'd be. - Then you ran away from home.
- You ran away from home. - Is that so?
You told your mom that you would run away from home in advance.
(It's shocking that I actually ran away from home.)
Let's meet our guest and talk with her.
Please come out.
(Who is worried about her sister who left home?)
(Shin Mi Joo)
- Welcome. - Hello!
(Welcome!)
Oh, dear.
I should move a little.
Would you like some water if you're nervous?
Yes, please. I'd like some water.
- Would you like some water? - Yes, please.
- Say hi to Z Young. - Here's your water.
- Hello. - They're Infinite members.
- And they're Davichi members. - It's nice to meet you.
And I'm Lee Yeong Ja.
(She can't take her eyes off them.)
(Yeong Ja is upset.)
She looks surprised.
She's not in her right mind. That was harsh.
Why did you not even look at me?
When I poured her a glass of water,
they pointed at me, but she thought they were asking for a handshake.
(Please drink some water.)
(My goodness, Dong Woo.)
I fully understand you. I really do.
She's worried about her sister, but she's excited to see them too.
(The idol stars can make her forget about her worries.)
Has your sister been running away from home since she was a teenager?
She started running away from home when she was in middle school.
When she was in elementary school, she looked almost foolish...
- because she was too kind. - I see.
Since she made bad friends in middle school,
she was away almost half a year.
After she became an adult,
she came home between 5 and 10 times a year.
She came home only a few times.
Now, we can't even reach her.
We don't even know whether she's alive or not.
How long has it been since you last saw her?
- I haven't seen her for five years. - What?
(She hasn't seen her sister for 5 years.)
- Then were you... - When she came back home,
were you not home?
- No. I don't live with my parents. - I see.
Do you still not know whether she's alive or not?
I used to keep in touch with her...
through her social media, but now, it's also hard to do so.
I asked, "Where are you now? What have you been doing?"
"Just tell me where you live."
But she didn't tell me anything, and it frustrates me a lot.
You said that you've been receiving...
registered mails.
I wonder what really happened.
My sister didn't come home.
Instead, we've been receiving her bills.
There were unpaid mobile phone bills...
and insurance premium, but they weren't a lot of money.
It became serious last autumn.
- A 9,000-dollar loan, - A loan?
a credit card bill of 3,000 dollars,
and an unpaid phone bill of 1,000 dollars.
The bill of over 10,000 dollars...
kept coming to our house.
Did your parents pay off all of her debts?
My dad took out a loan to pay for her debts.
- He has a debt now. - That's right.
He told my sister to pay off her own debt,
but she ran away with his jewelry.
- When she came home? - Yes.
- She stole your dad's jewelry? - Yes.
What jewelry did she steal?
- Hang on a second. - A watch?
While my dad was peeling chestnuts at home,
he got a deep cut, so he went to a hospital.
The doctor said he needed a surgery.
So he took an X-ray.
My sister was there to ask him to lend her 10,000 dollars.
She was with him at the hospital, so my dad...
left his jewelry with her.
- Because he had to take an X-ray? - Yes.
He needed a surgery. Gosh.
- Please continue. - She took his jewelry...
and ran away.
- Was it a gold jewelry? - While he was taking the X-ray?
Yes, he was taking the X-ray.
He left them with her during the test.
- What exactly was it? - What did she steal?
A necklace, a bracelet,
- and a ring. - They're made of gold?
They meant a lot to him,
so he contacted her...
to ask her to send them back.
But my sister didn't even reply.
- Until now? - Yes.
Everyone was only wondering what could be her problem,
but this story made all of them...
It's not understandable.
It made all of them very angry.
How could she leave him at the hospital like that?
She needs to have a conversation with her sister,
but I'm not sure her sister would be here...
- They can't even reach her. - to talk with her family.
Is she here?
To be honest, I'm worried.
The writers succeeded in contacting her,
and she said she would be here.
However,
- I'm not sure. - She doesn't know either.
I haven't seen her yet.
- You haven't seen her? - No.
We'll talk to her parents first.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Thank you for mustering up courage to appear on our show today.
How do you feel about being here?
When I heard Mi Joo had applied to be on this show,
I strongly opposed the idea at first.
- It's a flaw of my family. - That's right.
However, if this can be a chance for my eldest daughter...
to turn her life around,
I would do more than that.
I understand. You're her parent.
How about you, ma'am?
Mi Joo told us that...
there's a TV show called "Lee Yeong Ja's..."
She said it's a show that helps to resolve worries.
"Lee Yeong Ja's Hello"?
- "Lee Yeong Ja's Hello"? - All right. You got it right.
That's why I decided to come on the show.
As long as we can resolve our problem,
I wouldn't mind being embarrassed.
I came here with desperation.
I'm glad you're here.
Lee Yeong Ja and Boys will make sure...
to resolve your problem.
(Lee Yeong Ja and Boys will do their best!)
Mi Joo, who sent us the story, her parents,
and all of our staff members...
made a great deal of effort.
Mi Joo's sister will come out now.
- She's here. - I wonder how she feels...
and what has happened to her until now.
Everyone, please listen to her carefully...
with us when she comes out.
If she comes out, you'll see her...
- for the 1st time in 5 years. - That's right.
(Mi Joo will see her sister for the 1st time in 5 years.)
- We're nervous as well. - When she comes out,
I think we should welcome her with a round of applause...
- and compliment her courage. - Absolutely.
Let's meet Mi Joo's sister.
It took her a lot of courage to come here.
- Let's give her... - Let's say "Sister" together.
Please come out.
Ready, go.
- Sister! - Sister!
(Sister! Please some out!)
- She's here. - She really came.
- Welcome. - Hello.
- She's here. - She really came.
(Mi Joo's sister appeared.)
- Welcome. - Let's give her a hand.
(Her parents seem unenthusiastic.)
- My goodness. - Welcome.
Look how Mi Joo is smiling. Are you happy?
- Yes, I am. - They look alike.
- They look alike. - They really are sisters.
- They look so much alike. - All right.
You must have heard what we said while waiting.
What made you decide to come on the show?
I didn't want to keep running.
And I wanted to tell my honest feelings here.
- You made a right decision. - I'm glad you're here.
How long have you not seen your family until now?
You haven't met your little sister for a long time.
I haven't met her for quite a long time.
I think it's been...
about three months since I last saw my parents.
She met her parents three months ago.
- Say hello to them. - Right.
- They're your mom and dad. - Look at her dad.
Her dad looks...
My gosh.
- Say hi to Mi Joo too. - Her dad is crying.
Mi Joo is crying too.
(Her dad bursts into tears in a mixed emotion.)
(Could everyone in the family feel the same way?)
Please say a word.
I'm sure you didn't see her this closely...
many times.
First of all,
I'm relieved that she came here.
And I'm glad to see her again.
I can't help it because she's my daughter even though I hate her.
I see.
I understand. Goodness.
Ma'am, say something to your daughter.
(How could her mom feel?)
Thank you for coming here. It's good to see you again.
She thanked her for coming on to the show.
Mi Joo, you smiled at first.
Since you haven't seen her for five years,
you must've thought of a lot of things and became teary.
I wonder if she eats well...
You're her little sister.
You're not her mom.
It looks like she's been eating well.
Because she was crying,
- Right. - he tried to lighten the mood.
- That's why he made a joke. - Thank you.
It must've been a hard decision to make to come here.
Will you tell us how you feel...
and what has happened until now honestly?
- Yes, I will. - That's good.
We'll ask you straightforwardly.
Your sister sent us the letter because she was worried too much.
Do you understand why she's worried?
Yes, I do understand her,
but frankly, I don't want to go back home right now.
Why do you not want to go back home?
I wandered off for a while...
as I made bad friends.
I think I'm more comfortable being alone now.
- You got used to that. - That's right.
When I'm at home, I feel like I'm locked up.
I don't know about that,
but you could have at least kept in touch with them.
It's because my family nag at me too much.
Especially my mom does. She has a loud voice,
so it makes me...
even more upset.
The fact that you have unpaid bills...
means that you can't afford to pay your bills.
I have a job,
but I get stressed out from work.
Besides, I live alone.
So I depend on alcohol.
I spend the most of my money on drinking.
Since I haven't saved money, I can't bring myself to call my family.
10,000 dollars is not a small amount.
- Of course not. - Weren't you sorry to your parents?
Your parents have no choice but to nag at you.
- Your parents nagged at you. - I was sorry to them.
That's one of the reasons why I couldn't contacted them.
I left home because I wanted to pay off my debt on my own.
- In this situation... - You felt so bad...
that you couldn't face them.
- Things got worse. - Then...
I guess the reason why you drink is because you're not happy.
I'm not happy.
But I don't want to hear my family nag.
- It's easier to be alone. - You've become used to it.
She's become used to it. She's lived on her own too long.
When you found out your daughter had a lot of debt,
how did you feel?
I didn't know what to do with her.
I considered sending her to a mental hospital.
- "If I harm myself," - Oh, my.
"will she come to her senses?"
I even considered that.
(Words can't describe how he felt.)
Where do you live now?
I live in Jeolla Province.
We don't know how you've been living.
Tell us how you've been living.
- Yes. - Do you live alone?
No. I live with a colleague.
What do you do for a living?
I work at a bar run by an acquaintance.
- You work at a bar. - Why did you take out loans?
At first, it was for the apartment.
To pay back that loan, I started to work in cell phone sales.
I got paid according to my performance.
When I failed to sell as many phones as I was supposed to,
I had to make up for the deficit with my own money.
In the end, my debt became a lot.
That's why.
- Phone sales can be profitable too. - Her debt grew bigger and bigger.
Your younger sister mentioned that...
you were very nice when you were little.
I'm wondering if anyone tried to use you.
It's happened.
- Oh, my. - And...
I got a burn when I was little.
And my eyes squint a bit just like my dad's.
I wear makeup and contact lenses to hide that.
I used to get bullied for that.
My friends would leave me out.
That's also why I started to spend a lot of money.
You spend money to be friends with people?
Yes. My parents didn't know,
so they just scolded me for getting in trouble.
They even cut my hair.
My mom worked at a bar.
She stayed out a lot and couldn't take care of me.
But when I bought my friends drinks,
- They spent time with you. - they spent time with me...
and comforted me.
I came to rely on my friends a lot.
You needed the warmth of family.
You didn't want to stay with your little sister?
She doesn't talk to me nicely.
She calls my nickname.
I felt like she was rude to me.
(She thinks her little sister was rude to her.)
- You felt no one was on your side. - That's right.
Did you know what she was going through?
Not at all.
As her parents, we had to try to change her.
We scolded her, hit her,
and even cut her hair to stop her from going out.
Now that I think of it,
- it wasn't the right thing to do. - No.
I regret it a lot.
Ma'am, you don't seem to be...
the very warm type of mother either.
No. I'm like a man.
I have to say what I want to say. I'm not very warm to my children.
She had to work too.
- She was busy making a living. - It was hard for her too.
Your older sister thinks you were rude to her.
Did you know she was feeling that way?
She's only a year older than me.
- So... - You must have been close.
I called her nickname...
as an expression of affection.
I didn't know she was thinking...
I was looking down on her.
- She's never said it before? - No.
Did you know your sister was not confident...
about her appearance?
No.
- She never told you? - No.
It was frustrating...
because we never talked.
I didn't understand...
why she wanted to stay out.
She seems to be a soft-hearted person.
I don't understand how you could take your dad's bracelet...
while he was taking X-rays. Why did you do that?
That's a misunderstanding. I kept it in my wallet.
But as I have to drink at work,
I forgot about it.
- You forgot about it? - Yes.
Do you still have it?
Yes. I brought it today.
That's a relief. I was going to report her.
She kept it in her wallet...
- and forgot about it. - It was a mistake.
Sir, she wasn't trying to steal it.
I was hoping she wasn't.
I believed my daughter wouldn't do such a thing.
- Of course. - Of course.
Was it something meaningful to you?
It was the first gift my wife had ever given me.
(It was the first gift from his wife.)
Why didn't you explain to your family?
A friend of mine was...
keeping my bag.
She put it in a locker that uses a fingerprint.
No one else than her could open it.
- She had a reason. - What I'm saying is...
that you could have texted your family or something.
I use a pre-paid phone.
- You use a pre-paid phone? - So...
I can't contact anyone when I'm out of credit.
In any case, return it to your dad.
Put it on your dad.
(It's been returned after 3 months.)
After three months...
Ma'am, when did you give it to your husband?
Three years ago.
- That's a germanium bracelet. - Three years ago.
- A germanium bracelet? - That's germanium.
- It's good for your health. - Germanium.
Your daughter wants to put it on you.
The necklace.
- Her dad looks happy. - It looks nice.
- It's so shiny. - He looks happy.
- That's gold. - It's so shiny.
Do you think your dad looks happy?
Yes.
- She's putting the necklace on him. - He's very nice.
- You thought she took it. - I did.
Really...
Put it under his shirt.
- Let him show it off. - It's too...
- Let him show it off. - Just leave it like that.
Leave it like that.
(Happy)
Your sister feels suffocated when she's home.
Can't you give her a little time?
She'll pay you back too.
To be honest, it's not only about money.
Her daughter lives with us.
- What? - What?
- Her daughter lives with us. - What?
- She has a daughter? - Yes.
You've been married?
She contacted us when she was about 23.
Dad and I went straight to Seoul to see her.
The baby's father had left her, and she was eight months pregnant.
She was shaking in a short-sleeved shirt on the street.
- Your sister? - Yes.
Dad and I were shocked.
She wanted to give birth,
so we took in her daughter.
- Her daughter lives with you? - The child is being raised...
by her grandparents and aunt,
- right? - Is that so?
Yes. We're taking care of her.
How old is she?
She's 11.
What about your sister?
She just left her daughter behind?
- Her daughter... - She's 11?
She left her daughter behind?
She did seem to love her daughter.
She used to brag about her daughter a lot.
But when her daughter was about 3,
she left home again.
She stayed at home until then?
- Yes. - She did?
I know I should take care of my daughter,
but I feel suffocated when I'm home.
Also, my parents take good care of her.
I thought it was a good thing for her.
Like I asked earlier,
have you been married?
- I've never been married. - They just had a child.
- We didn't get married. - Dong Woo.
You can have a child without getting married too.
(It seems like he just found out.)
Where is the baby's father now?
I don't keep in touch with him.
He came to see us on the baby's 100th day.
When you were 100 days pregnant?
No. When my daughter was 100 days old.
- When she was 100 days old? - He came?
Why would he come when she's 100 days pregnant?
No one celebrates 100 days of pregnancy.
That day, we made an agreement that we'd never meet again.
I met him through an application.
He had a car and everything,
so I thought he was competent.
But it turned out that...
he was 12 years older than me. He had lied about his age.
He gambled and had nothing.
(He lied about his age and gambled.)
That's why I don't keep in touch with him.
Ma'am, how did you feel at that time?
When she left home,
I didn't want to accept her again.
But when we found her,
she suffered from pre-eclampsia, and her body was swollen up.
She looked as if she'd die on the street...
if we didn't take her in. She was in a miserable state.
That's why we decided to...
take her and her daughter in.
When she left home again, it broke my heart.
You must have felt betrayed.
What does your niece make you feel?
As she hasn't been growing up in a normal family,
she's become so mature and shrewd.
When she was younger, she used to tell my parents...
that she missed her mom.
But she doesn't talk about her mom anymore.
When we're saying bad things about her mom because of her debt,
she tries to say even worse things about her...
so that we'll stop criticizing her.
When we talk about her mom, she tries to smile...
and says she's okay with living with her grandparents.
She tells me, "I wish you were my mom."
"You can get married,"
"but please don't have a baby. Think of me as your child."
I feel sorry for her.
How do these words make you feel?
You heard what your sister said.
I didn't know my daughter felt that way.
When she said she likes her grandparents more than me,
I was sad.
I now know why she said those words.
When you are away,
don't you miss your daughter?
I contacted her because I missed her.
However, when I called her,
she put her grandparents on the phone.
That's why I stopped calling her.
When was the last time you called her?
It has been a month since I called her.
There is a matter which is more important...
than calling or meeting up once in a while.
She will grow up and think,
"Why isn't Mom by my side?"
- She knows about those things. - That's right.
- She is at that age. - She is at that age.
So... Is she on the phone?
- Now? - Who is on the phone?
- The daughter? - The daughter is on the phone.
(The daughter is on the phone.)
She needs to know exactly what her daughter thinks.
She should hear her out.
That way, she will realize and change.
She is on the line.
Hello. Hello.
Hello.
- How cute! - Do you know what this program is?
- No. - You don't, right?
I just know you are having a shoot.
I just know we are having a shoot.
Do you know why we are having a shoot?
That's because my mom won't come home.
She is smart.
Why do you think your mom lives away?
- She is busy. - She is busy.
What do you think about the fact your mom lives away from you?
Sometimes, I am scared.
Sometimes, I think it's strange.
It feels empty without her.
When do you miss her the most?
When it rains after school,
I am the only one who gets rained on...
because I don't have an umbrella.
You are the only one who gets rained on...
because other children have their mothers bring umbrellas.
- Yes. - I see.
Your mom stopped calling you often...
ever since you put your grandparents on the phone.
Yes, I thought putting them on the phone...
would help them...
have a conversation.
I thought my grandparents would want to hear my mom's voice.
She wanted to solve the problem.
(She wanted to solve the problem in the family.)
Do you miss your mom?
(She doesn't answer right away.)
Of course she does.
Yes, I miss her a lot.
You want your mom to stay with you every day, right?
She doesn't want to answer.
- She is cautious. - She doesn't want to upset...
her mom or her grandparents.
- Compared to children her age, - She is thoughtful,
she is very thoughtful.
Please talk to your daughter on the phone.
Talk to your mom on the phone.
Okay.
Mom.
Hye Jin.
Yes?
What are you up to?
I am not up to anything.
If you want to make a request, now is your chance.
(She makes a request to her mom.)
Mom.
Be nice and listen to your parents.
Come home soon...
so that I won't be alone.
- Help me with my studies... - "Listen to your parents."
and stay by my side.
She told her mom, "Listen to your parents."
Your daughter made a request.
- Give her an answer. - Give her an answer.
From now on, I will make an effort...
to see you often.
From now on, I will eat with you and take you to places...
you want to go.
Tell her how much you love her.
Hye Jin, please remember that I always love you.
Okay.
All right. Bye.
- You know, - Bye.
- we should... - Bye.
(Thank you for talking to us on the phone.)
Bye.
Talking to her briefly on the phone...
let us know that she is more mature and self-conscious...
than her peers.
Children at her age should talk without thinking.
Every time I had a graduation,
my dad went to the graduation at another school as a teacher...
and my mom stayed at home because she was sick.
After every graduation,
I followed my friend and his parents to eat jjajangmyeon.
Since my friend's parents wanted to keep it a family event,
I became self-conscious.
Whenever it happened,
(He tried hard to make the situation less awkward.)
I talked about how popular my friend is among friends...
and how often he receives compliments from teachers.
What I said...
let the parents know more about their son.
- You did that at a young age. - Afterwards,
they took a liking to me.
I learned those tricks at a young age.
I was very self-conscious and mature when I was little.
You become that way.
Listening to your daughter...
reminded me of my past.
It's heartbreaking.
You said that you strayed from your path...
because your mom wasn't home often when you were little.
You are giving your daughter the exact environment...
you hated.
- Actually, it's worse. - It's way worse.
While it's true, I have no courage to return home.
- Why not? - Let's talk about that.
- Why do you have no courage? - Why do you have no courage?
I need to pay off my debt.
If I return home without taking care of it,
I will feel bad.
I will depend on alcohol and friends once more.
Mi Jin, I am sorry to cut you off,
but your daughter should be your first priority.
However, you still prioritize your feelings, your loneliness,
and things you want to have.
Shouldn't you make changes to your list of priorities?
Please tell us honestly.
- It's understandable. - Do you want to drink with friends?
I have a friend like that.
First of all,
I want to live my own life.
Living this way became a habit,
so I prefer it.
Even if you didn't have a daughter, living that way is problematic.
You have a daughter.
You have to go home.
Set your priorities right.
To be honest, I don't want to work at an office...
because it's suffocating.
However, my dad wants me to have a regular job.
I moved to Gwangju...
to work at the factory and pay off my debt,
however, the place was filled with fine dust.
I felt like I would die.
A lot of people work at the factory. There are other jobs.
It's not like all factory workers die.
- You know they don't. - This is...
It's not like...
they went there to die.
It's all in your head.
You push away everything that doesn't meet your standards.
I am curious about something.
How did you pay off your daughter's debt?
I am a taxi driver.
- We have a tight budget. - Of course.
On top of that,
we need to support our granddaughter.
- You have to do that now. - Because of that,
I am at my limit.
What will happen if your daughter doesn't pay you back?
It will be a disaster.
(He is firm.)
I will take...
legal actions.
Because your parents knew...
how much trouble you could get into,
they lent you money...
so that you can pay them back instead.
If your daughter refuses to be mature...
and says she will become a delinquent,
how would it be?
That would be bad.
That's exactly what you are doing.
(You are doing everything your family hates.)
It can't be good for their health.
They aren't young.
- How is your health? - Stress is bad for health.
I am not in the best condition.
I need to get a surgery for spinal stenosis.
I will have to stop working for six months after the surgery.
It's an expensive surgery too.
It costs about 8,000 to 10,000 dollars.
I keep pushing it off,
but I will need it sooner or later.
Ma'am, I heard that you work too.
How is your health?
The emotional struggles my daughter has given me...
manifested in diabetes.
My legs get swollen up. I have a terrible vision.
I can't see things very well.
My body aches due to diabetes,
but I am determined to raise my granddaughter right.
- She must be very worried. - That's why I work.
Their eldest daughter should be having that thought.
We used to be a happy family,
but my parents became depressed.
They even had extreme thoughts.
They often called me and said that they want to die.
Even though my niece is cute,
they tell her, "Since you take after your mom,"
- "I don't want to see you." - It's bound to happen.
Because my niece is mature,
she hid herself under the blanket and cried soundlessly.
Between them,
I don't know what to do.
Everything is too burdensome to me.
What comes to mind when you hear about these things?
Do you still think, "I am going to enjoy your life"?
No, I don't.
You have no plan to return home, right?
- Tell us. - Not yet.
- What was that? - I don't want to go home yet.
She can't pay back the debts.
She spends all her money on drinking after work.
Whether it's 500, 300, 200, or 100, you are not paying back the debts.
You made life miserable for everyone.
But you don't have any will to change.
(She's not willing to change.)
What should we do?
- Seriously. - It's time to make a decision.
- What are the conditions... - You must have an idea.
that have to be met for you to go home?
- I have to pay back... - Pay back the debts.
some of my debts. That's what scares me.
- But... - Aren't debts just an excuse?
You just want to enjoy your life.
To be honest, there's that too.
Right? If you don't do anything about that...
It's all right if only your life will be ruined.
But you will be ruining the life of your dad, mom, sister, and daughter.
After tens of years,
your parents won't be able to pay back your debts.
You need to start paying it back little by little.
- Can you tell us how much it is? - How much debt do you have?
Including the loan, it's about 13,000 dollars.
If she wants to, she can pay it back.
- She can pay it back. - She can pay it back.
Your father traded his back for the money...
he used to pay back your debts.
And he can't even drink because of that.
(She needs to understand the graveness of the situation.)
What do you want to say to your sister before we end?
Our future is important, but I think Hye Jin's future is more important.
I want to raise her well,
and the rest of the family feel the same way.
I hope you will come home and figure this out together.
Right.
All right. Let's vote if it's a worry or not. Hae Ri.
- It's a worry. - What's the reason?
What reasons could I have?
My face says it all.
What's wrong? You look like you've lost your mind.
I also think it's a worry.
I hope she will talk to her family about finding a way out...
and think about how to be more happy with her daughter.
- Z Young. - I think it's a worry too.
Considering what her daughter...
and parents went through,
I have to say it's a worry.
You all think it's a worry, right?
- Yes. - Press the button together.
1, 2, 3.
It's a worry.
Can't you go home for your daughter?
Just move back in for your daughter.
Two years ago,
an illness...
took my father.
When it's too late,
you can only regret what you haven't done.
But it's not late yet.
You have wisdom and time to be brave.
- So I hope you will take an action. - Right.
That's a very good advice.
We don't need to say any more.
If you sympathize with our guest, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Time is up. - Time is up.
They won't stop pressing the button.
I can't listen to another story. I am exhausted.
- We are done for the day, right? - It was so serious.
What do you want to say to your family?
- Make up your mind. - I will make up my mind...
and finish my work within this month.
I will move back home afterwards. I can't promise that I'll do well,
- but I will give it a try... - Of course.
- and try to make things better. - Lovely.
- Please go home. - Go home.
- Please go home. - Please.
- We beg you. - Talk to your parents.
Please go home.
Mom, Dad, I am sorry for all the troubles I caused.
I will stop causing troubles...
and become a good daughter who works hard.
I am touched.
You are great.
(We hope she keeps the promise.)
Why did you cover your ears when people were voting?
(Why did she cover her ears?)
- I realized how bad I was. - She changed.
- I think it is a worry. - Right?
I am sure the sound of buttons...
was really painful to hear.
Let's check the result.
"Are You Alive?"
(The last digit is 1.)
- She was alive. - She was alive.
- She was doing well. - It's a relief.
(What did she get?)
It's 161.
(She got 161 votes.)
(After the shoot,)
(she went to the waiting room with her little sister.)
Didn't you see my clothes?
- I put it here. - Mom.
(They reunited after a long time.)
Hello.
You're going to school tomorrow. Aren't you tired?
Yes. The school is on break.
Is it?
The school is on break.
- Is it? - Yes.
You didn't even know.
Why aren't you coming home?
I am coming home at the end of this month.
- Really? - Yes.
Promise me.
I promise you.
(She promises her daughter.)
(We hope her family will communicate more and be happier.)
It's a very frustrating story.
Hello. I am a 24-year-old college girl.
Usually, girls talk so much that 24 hours isn't enough.
"Hey, I completely ruined my final exam."
"Are you listening? I failed. Did you do well?"
(She doesn't say anything.)
She acts well.
My friend is way too quiet.
- That would be frustrating. - We've been friends...
for six years since high school.
But I have never seen her express herself.
"What do you want to eat today?"
- That's frustrating. - "Is there anything you want?"
"How about seafood pasta? Seafood pasta."
"I said, how about seafood pasta? Hey. Hey."
- She's going to hit her. - "Seafood pasta."
- "All right." - She answered.
But there wouldn't be a problem if she's all right with everything.
"You said you are okay with seafood pasta. Why aren't you eating?"
"I am..."
"allergic to seafood."
She couldn't tell her.
This happens when we walk on a street.
"Girl, you look pretty."
"What's your number?"
"Here's my phone."
(She immediately brings out her phone.)
- What? - Is she mad?
- How can she give him the phone? - She'd give him her number?
Yes. She would give him the number right away.
She's so frustrating. What's wrong with her?
Please help her, Yeong Ja.
(She's asking us to help her frustrating friend.)
I completely sympathize with her.
I was really timid when I was in elementary school.
- You couldn't talk. - I had to get off the bus,
but I was too embarrassed to press the button.
Why is that embarrassing? Wasn't it embarrassing to get on the bus?
That was embarrassing too.
I thought people would look at me when I pressed the button.
- And that scared me. - We had a similar story once.
What did you think, Z Young?
- You played her role. - It's a role I can't play.
- My goodness, she talks so much. - I crave for so many things.
If her friend was like Z Youn, she would've been...
- My name is Z Young. - That's what I meant.
- You said "Z Youn". - She changed everyone's name.
- Your husband must not like that. - I hesitated...
to talk about it. But she keeps calling us "Infinity".
What?
She called Infinite "Infinity" and Z Young "Z Youn".
She's really frustrated by her friend who doesn't talk.
Please come on out.
(Who's frustrated by her quiet friend?)
He's very excited.
Welcome.
Is she just like how you described her?
She is. I will give an example.
When girls hang out, we sometimes talk about men.
- Right. - That's all you talk about.
You only talk about men.
When I asked her...
if she has a boyfriend,
she said, "I broke up with my boyfriend."
- I was asking her if she had one, - It was already over.
but apparently I didn't even know that she had a boyfriend.
Do you talk to each other more...
- through text messages? - Right.
We talk on the messaging application.
But we have never talked on the phone.
You've never talked on the phone?
- No. - We've never talked on the phone.
You have never talked to each other on the phone.
Why are you friends?
- How did you become friends? - Why do you stay as friends?
- Why are you friends? - Does she laugh a lot?
Does she express her emotions alot?
She laughs a lot. She reacts very well.
- She's bubbly. - Is she bubbly yet quiet?
- She's bubbly but quiet. - She's just quiet.
That's okay, isn't it?
- She's bubbly at least. - Is she quiet while laughing?
Is it serious enough to take it here?
- It doesn't do you harm. - It doesn't seem too serious.
I understand that she doesn't like talking.
But she wouldn't say the things she needs to say.
Can you give an example?
- We went to a hair salon together. - You need to say what you want.
- I am worried. - You have to say something.
There must've been a style she wanted.
But she didn't stop the hairdresser from cutting her hair short.
- You have to talk. - No.
When I told her it wasn't the length she wanted,
she said, "It's okay" and left.
- She's here today, right? - Yes.
When you told her about it, did she agree to come here?
At first, she hesitated.
But she must've had the desire to change.
- She wants to change. - Yes, a little bit.
Can you call her name?
Young Shin.
Hello.
- What did you say? - Hello.
Is she right about everything? What did you think?
I am a quiet person.
I didn't know she would take it so seriously.
- They... - Do you work?
No, I am trying to find a job.
You are trying to find a job.
You can hear her well now that she's wearing a mic, right?
- I can hear her well. - She's surprised.
Is it her first time to talk a lot like that?
Is this considered talking well?
This is her talking very well.
Perhaps she just doesn't like you?
Why don't you ask her?
Why did you break up with your boyfriend?
I didn't express myself much.
That's why we broke up.
Don't you enjoy...
talking about men?
When you ask her what she wants to eat, she's quiet.
But when she sees someone handsome, she says, "He's cute."
(He's hilarious.)
- Maybe that's what she does. - It's possible.
- It's possible. - I don't get to meet a lot of boys.
So I don't have anything to talk about.
When a man tries to kiss you,
and if you think it's still too early for that,
would you tell him that?
Or do you just remain silent?
Or do you open your mouth big so he can't kiss you?
(Does she open her mouth big?)
- Stop it. - Maybe that's what she does.
- He can't kiss her then. - He's funny.
You can't kiss someone whose mouth is wide open.
You can't kiss her.
I don't get into that situation.
Do you not touch each other at all?
- How did you hold hands? - Did you never touch each other?
We held hands.
(Right.)
The conversation doesn't carry on, does it?
Even if he wanted to break up,
you could've told him you'd try to be more expressive.
- You could've not let him go. - Right.
- Why didn't you do that? - We don't know that.
He left me because he met another person.
- You sound so polite. - Then...
(They are flustered.)
- Why would you show such respect? - Right.
- He left her. - He cheated on you.
- Ask her. - Didn't you call your friends?
Didn't you ask your friends to stay with you because you're sad?
I didn't.
- Why not? - What did you do then?
I usually keep...
everything to myself.
- I just deal with it alone. - Do you enjoy that?
No.
At the salon, the hairdresser kept cutting your hair shorter.
Why didn't you tell her to stop?
- I know. - She cut your hair short.
I didn't make it clear to her,
and I thought I'd give it a try since it's a style I haven't tried.
- She's very positive. - You just accepted it.
- Yes. - How short was your hair?
The hair came right below my ears.
- That's really short. - Below your ears?
Did it suit you?
Well, I didn't like it.
I heard you are allergic to seafood.
- Allergic. - Allergic.
He wasn't quite sure about the word choice, so he stammered.
I once did that too when I was on the phone.
I was confused between "It's me" and "This is me."
So I ended up saying "It's this."
That happens.
- It's me. - You have to choose before you say.
It's this.
If you are allergic to seafood,
it could even kill you.
My friends were craving for it.
- You were being considerate. - You didn't want to stop them.
I thought I could...
just eat something else.
Was there a time when you just ate it?
In high school,
other friends wanted me to taste the seafood dish because it's good.
They put it in my mouth.
What happened?
- What happened? - I ate it and took medicine.
- My goodness. - Really?
I think this must happen too.
- Have you been on a taxi? - Yes.
Of course she's been on a taxi.
- What do you think of her? - "I'll get off there."
There must be times when she can't get off...
- where she wants to. - She can't get off.
If I get dropped off at a strange place,
I just hop on another taxi.
But that's a loss for you.
Are you worried that you'd be a nuisance to him?
Yes. I don't want to upset him.
(She's so frustrating.)
It seems like she is too considerate of others.
Can't you understand her?
- But it's too serious. - Right.
It even caused harm once.
We once went on a long distance trip.
We were taking a car,
and Young Shin rode at the back.
We were enjoying the ride, listening to music.
And suddenly,
we heard someone throwing up.
- Did she vomit? - She vomited.
- In the car? - Yes.
Why did you tell them to stop the car?
That's such a nuisance.
She didn't ask us to stop.
- Why didn't you ask? - You caused harm.
- She caused harm. - "I'm okay."
(While trying to be considerate, she threw up in the car.)
I went on the trip even though I wasn't feeling so well.
They were playing music loudly and enjoying the ride.
But I wasn't feeling well.
So it was hard for me to tell them.
- You could tell them. - You should've told them.
- Stop! - You could stop and vomit.
When the car gets dirty, everyone gets annoyed,
and things get worse.
I thought I could hold it.
- My goodness. - That's why I held it.
I think she wouldn't have thrown up loudly.
I think she would've thrown up really quietly.
It just ran down her mouth.
- How was it? - I regretted it a lot.
Of course.
"I could've held it, but I guess I can't."
I'm sure that's what happened.
- Is there anything else? - Can you understand her?
Was there another time when she got into trouble?
We once went skiing.
Young Shin had never gone skiing before.
- When you're new, you fall. - Right. You are bound to fall.
She constantly fell, got back up, and learned the skills.
She said it was fun, so we took her to an intermediate level slope.
We thought she had a lot of fun.
But when we met her a week later,
she was wearing a cast.
- On her arm. - That's crazy.
That's so serious.
- She got a cast. - Her bone got fractured.
- Her bone got fractured. - It got fractured.
When I saw her with the cast,
I felt so sorry to her.
- I didn't know. - Right.
Why didn't you tell your friends? It must've really hurt.
I don't like doing outdoor activities,
but my friends wanted to go skiing, so I went with them.
And they were having so much fun.
So when they asked me to go up to a higher slope, I followed them.
Did you really go to a clinic and get a cast? Or...
"How dare you take me to the intermediate level slope?"
- That's possible. - "They know that I can't ski."
I think that's possible too.
- Right. - Did you really see a doctor?
When I first got hurt, it didn't feel too painful.
- It didn't feel too painful. - Yes.
But later on, I realized that it was quite serious.
When your friends saw you wearing a cast,
they must've felt sorry.
- Yes. - Why did you go meet them?
- Why would you say that? - You shouldn't have met them.
Why would you go see them?
- That's being really considerate. - Right.
- I should've been more considerate. - You should've been.
- She's blaming herself. - She's cute.
- Let's meet her other friend. - Really?
- Where are you? - Where is she?
- Hello. - Hello.
When was the time when you were frustrated...
by Young Shin's lack of expression?
She was walking on a street,
and someone came to her and asked if she was interested in skin care.
And he offered her to show the products in his car...
- and to talk more. - That's dangerous.
- The car? - She must've bought them.
She thought the car part was a little strange,
- but she couldn't refuse. - Did she get on the car?
She got on the car and ended up spending 500 dollars...
- Oh, dear. - on skincare products.
- But I was rather relieved. - Right.
If he drove her somewhere,
- she could've gotten into... - I don't want to think about it.
She would've vomited if the car moved. She would've been fine.
Right.
- This is really funny. - One time, she was walking.
And one person approached her.
He introduced himself as a professor of psychology...
and asked her if she wants his consultation.
- This happened on a street? - Does that happen?
Yes. On a street.
Young Shin gave him her number...
and met him about twice.
- Twice? - Yes, twice.
Not just once.
He wanted to talk to her about religion...
and demanded that they meet more often.
We told her she shouldn't meet him again.
But she couldn't talk to him.
So we talked to him on her behalf.
Was that person claiming to be a professor a man?
Yes. He was a man in mid-50s.
Why didn't you turn him down?
You can turn him down if he seems strange.
I felt difficult to turn him down.
And I thought I could get advices from him.
Did you get something out of him?
At first, he was fine.
But the second time I met him, he sounded a little strange.
Why did you think of meeting him again then?
- Because you promised him? - I felt sorry to reject him.
What happened with the skincare products?
I was walking on the street, and I ended up getting on the car.
At first, I didn't want to buy it.
But he explained that it contained gold and how good it is for you.
I got sold and ended up buying them.
When I went home and searched about it,
I found out that many other people were tricked too.
I was afraid it'd damage my skin, so I threw them away.
You keep saying yes to everything,
and it's taking a big toll on you.
Aren't your parents worried?
My parents just tell me that I should be confident.
Be confident?
Everyone in her family is very positive.
- They are very unique. - They didn't scold me.
Her father is here too.
- Is he her father? - Hello.
- He's been smiling the whole time. - Hello.
(He always smiles.)
Do you sympathize with your daughter's friend?
I don't think it's a worry.
- Why? - Is it not problematic?
My personality was more or less the same as hers.
Young Shin is...
just very considerate of others. That's why these things happen.
But she was in dangerous situations. You're a man, but she's a girl.
Getting on a stranger's car is very dangerous.
- She can be tricked too. - That's true.
It's very dangerous.
But it can happen once in your life.
- Is that what you think? - Yes.
It's not like she was taken or...
That's not it. When she gets on a stranger's car,
she will be helpless if he decides to drive her away.
- She can't do anything. - Right.
That's a possibility, isn't it?
(What?)
- Come on. - She's your daughter!
That's very dangerous.
- I'll tell you this. - His daughter...
- You hesitated to come here, right? - He says it could happen.
I heard you didn't want to come out here today.
Right. I am quite timid.
Other family members refused to come, so I did.
Are you representing your family?
He had no choice. he had to represent the family.
It seems like she got your personality.
You're right. She took after my personality.
Then have you lost money because you couldn't say no?
- It's a secret. - I think he has.
- I get it. - Thank you for the clear answer.
Okay.
I had a difficult time while I was running business.
It was so hard that I didn't even have...
10 cents in my pocket.
A friend of mine asked me to lend him...
a few thousand dollars.
He must've struggled so much...
to ask me for money when he was aware that I was struggling.
Can you lend money to the person sitting behind you?
She can go home if you lend her 1,300 dollars.
She doesn't want to bug anyone.
It might be because she took after her father,
but was there any other influence?
She was born when I was still young. I was 23.
(She was born when he was still young.)
So I didn't have any experience.
I taught her very strictly.
- Not to trouble anyone? - Yes.
If she makes noise in a restaurant or something,
- I punished her too. - Really?
- He was being harsh. - I think...
that made my children timid.
He said you become timid.
Do you agree?
I think it became a habit.
I don't think that has a big impact.
What else influenced you?
Since I was young,
we moved a lot.
- I changed schools often. - I see.
- You changed schools often. - Yes. Since then,
kids started yelling at me for what I didn't do...
and make bad rumors about me.
They bullied me.
So I decided not to stand out...
and stay quiet.
Have you heard about this before?
- I've never thought about that. - He hasn't.
Have you told your family about it?
No. She's very considerate that when her parents work at home,
she'd do all the chores.
- She's a very nice daughter. - Yes.
I don't think she mentioned what happened at school.
- I know. - When you had a cast,
did you tell your dad? When it hurt?
- She didn't tell me at first. - Really?
- Yes. - It hurts when you fracture.
When did she tell you?
A few days later.
She told me when she couldn't endure the pain.
- That's not all. - There's more?
She had an appendectomy.
How can she endure it?
- That hurts so much. - That too.
She only said she has a stomachache.
She endured it for a few days.
- For a few days? - It's really painful.
- She's so strong. - She...
never says it when she's sick.
Don't you get upset at yourself?
Yes. I regretted a lot.
- I understand it because... - Yes.
I changed school four times just like her.
- For my father's business. - Okay.
So I became a bit timid.
I have to adjust to new environment,
and children didn't talk to me at first because they don't know me.
Also, I endured appendix for a day.
I used to endure problems when I was young.
- Even when you had pain? - I was wrong.
I thought I was being nice to other people.
- How did you change? - When I went to middle school,
I fell into dancing.
That was the first time I wanted to overcome my personality.
I always suffered and got hurt.
I wanted to get on the stage and tell people.
Then things started to change.
Are you telling her to get on the stage?
I'm telling her to get a hobby or something.
He's asking you to dance.
Rejecting isn't important for her right now.
It's important for her to express...
- her thoughts honestly. - Right.
I think extreme training...
would help her do it faster,
so let's have time to express your thoughts.
- Start it now facing us. - Yes.
Something like someone has crossed eyes.
Don't talk about advantages. Talk about weird things...
- people have. - Yes. Disadvantages.
- How about we start from Woo Hyun? - Comment on our personalities.
Your impression on Woo Hyun.
Nice to meet you, Young Shin.
You can talk about advantages or disadvantages.
He's handsome.
Give us details.
That's good. You're doing good.
- You're very honest. - Where exactly on his face?
He's my style.
(That was unexpected.)
- Let's move onto Dong Woo. - Falling in love?
- Okay. - What do you think of Dong Woo?
I think he's manly.
- She only talks about good things. - She's accurate.
Is he your style?
No.
That's good. Good job.
- Good. - Wait.
- Look at her. - She's cute.
Is she trying her best?
- Is that supposed to be surprising? - She's surprised.
Our host, Dong Yeob...
never gets hurt, so say anything you want.
I think he looks hotter in person.
What did you think of him when you saw him on TV?
- I thought he's just funny. - "Funny."
- How about in person? - He's more handsome.
He's skinnier than I thought.
Even if someone threatens her, she can't lie.
(What?)
She can't lie even if someone threatens her.
She'd rather not say anything.
When you saw Yeong Ja...
Never mind.
- What? Do it. - I'm curious.
- Do it. - What do you think of Yeong Ja?
- She's funny. - Yes.
I think she's nice.
She doesn't see anything else. What would be my flaw?
I don't know.
- She's nice. - She's nice.
- She's honest. - She can't say it.
Is this worth giving her applause?
- Yes. - Okay.
(Well done.)
Do you have any complaints...
- to her in last six years? - She has one.
Do you have one?
- It says on her face. - It's humane.
There's something I want to say.
- She has one. - I'm curious.
- A complaint. - A complaint.
- She really wants to say it. - To her first.
They always set an appointment first...
and notify me later.
I want to set an appointment together.
- She's sad. - She might feel sad about it.
- It's like notice. - Notice.
If she talks, then we'd set it up together.
You can start talking from now on.
She's right because the thing is...
you might agree, but you're passive.
You always agree to it,
so even though they like you, but they expect you to agree every time.
He's right.
You can't just blame her.
You didn't say anything, so you can't complain about it.
- You have to say it. - Jung Chan Woo.
She finally got the courage to say what she wants.
- I'm telling her to say it. - Do that later.
- I'm telling her to talk. - Okay.
Since we're on the topic,
were you ever forced to go somewhere?
Something like "Room escape"...
- or board cafe. - She doesn't want to go?
- I hate those places too. - Yes.
Are you going to tell them you don't want to go from now on?
I'll try if I don't like it.
- Sure. - Why didn't you call them?
- Go to "Room escape" by yourself. - I didn't have anything to say.
You can talk about these things. If they ask you to go to "Room escape",
- tell them you don't want to. - Do it now.
"I don't want to escape the room."
Since you're doing it, tell your dad the complaints you had.
- Dad? - Yes.
You need to say what's in your heart.
Things that you didn't say because you don't want him to be upset.
I hope he supports...
what I want to do. I wish he doesn't tell me...
- to do something else. - What do you want to do ?
I want to keep working in clinical pathology field I studied.
Then tell your dad here.
Is it your first time hearing her opinion?
- Yes. - Try it.
- It's about your life. - Right.
- Sure. It's important. - Tell your dad.
Dad. I don't want to take the job you introduced me.
I want to continue working on my major.
Sure.
- It's done. - That was so short.
Her father will let her do anything.
- Yes. - Okay.
I wish...
we can always communicate well like today.
If you're struggling or in pain,
- Right. - tell me.
I hope our friendship lasts for a long time.
- Good. - That looks good.
Let's start voting from Z Young.
I think it's a worry.
I love her personality.
I actually hoped she was my friend while I was listening,
but she can't avoid the dangerous moments...
unless she changes her personality,
so I think it's a worry.
I pressed it too.
- A worry? - A worry.
- I don't think it is. - No?
She already said she wants to change her personality,
and she's ready to change it.
- So I don't think it is. - I don't think it is either.
Because I changed too.
I'm sure Young Shin can change one day.
If you look at the current situation, it's a worry.
But I see the possibility of improvements.
I think she'll be okay.
I don't think it's a worry.
What if I threw up in your car?
You wouldn't be able to take it.
- All of a sudden. - "Threw up in your car."
I think it's a worry.
It's pathetic.
From now on, if you think it's a worry...
in her friend's foot, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- It's over. - Stop.
- Say something to your friends. - Yes.
Ah Rim. Young Ji.
Thank you for taking care of me...
and trusting me. I'll start talking...
more often.
What do you want to eat today, Young Shin?
After this...
Seafood pasta.
Let's have pasta. Seafood pasta.
I'll have something else.
Go to "Room escape" after the meal.
It's only the beginning.
You'll get better if you continue to practice.
Show us how many votes the worry got.
(The result)
The last digit is three.
Will it get over 100 votes?
- 83. - 83.

This is "The Forced Military Enlistment".
Hello, I am a man in my 20s who lives in Geoje Island.
Every day, I feel like my body is being torn to pieces.
It's because of my boss, who was in the special forces.
I currently work at a barbecue restaurant.
"For special forces soldiers, mental attitude matters the most."
"Everyone, jump into the water!"
That's unnecessary for employees...
of a barbecue restaurant.
He made us jump into the sea in this cold weather.
"Why do you look so down? Did something bad happen?"
"That won't do. Let's climb to the top of the mountain."
We hiked late at night.
I don't know if I am at work or in the army.
"Boss, I have a cold."
"Special forces soldiers never give up!"
"Get up right this instant!"
"If you don't come,"
"you will get a minimum wage."
He is a tyrant.
Because of his antics,
over 100 employees have quit.
Please help us escape...
from this military.
That's why the title of the worry is "The Forced Military Enlistment".
(Please help us escape from this military.)
Let's meet the man who sent us the worry right away.
Please come on out.
(Who is worried about the forced boot camp?)
(Park Jun Hyuk)
Welcome.
(He seems weak.)
Where is he going?
He looks like he would hate that.
No.
- "No." - "No."
- Don't lie. - Don't lie. You look that way.
- Please introduce yourself. - Hello, I am a 21-year-old man...
- named Park Jun Hyuk. - It's nice to meet you.
Where do you work?
For three years, I have been working at a pork belly restaurant.
I don't know whether I am working at a pork belly restaurant...
or training in the special forces.
I don't understand.
Is your facial expression always like that?
He looks like he had the training of death.
He always says poor health is the root of all problems...
and makes the employees train.
Every Friday, the work ends at 10pm.
- The work ends at 10pm. - No, it ends at 11pm.
- At 11pm. - After work,
- we go to play soccer. - At 11pm?
- After work? - Yes.
If we don't play soccer,
we have to go hiking.
I have night blindness.
Because I have night blindness,
I fall down from time to time when I hike up the mountain.
If there is a marathon, we have to register.
- A marathon? - Yes.
- We have to run 10km. - 10km?
10km is a long distance.
What's the hardest?
- What's the hardest? - Yes.
After we go hiking or run a marathon,
- he says we need to cool off. - What happens afterwards?
We have to jump into the sea.
- The sea? - Yes.
The thing is, I have a trauma from childhood.
- What trauma? - Is it about water?
My cousin and I got swept away in a tube...
even though we couldn't swim.
Because of that, I didn't want to go into the water.
However, my boss said, "A man should jump into the sea."
Then he picked me up and threw me into the sea.
It must have been scary.
- Can't you refuse to do it? - Seriously.
You should refuse to do it.
Then he gives a minimum wage.
- A minimum wage. - A minimum wage.
(Then you can't help but do it.)
He gives you less money.
Has he done that?
Maybe he only says he will do it.
My coworkers who are in the audience...
have gotten minimum wages.
- It actually happened. - They look upset.
It's not against the law.
- It's the minimum wage. - It's the minimum wage.
He gave them the minimum wage.
(It's too much.)
- Let's talk to the boss. Hello. - He sure looks strong.
(Who forces training upon his employees?)
- Is he the boss? - Unity!
(Unity)
- He is the man. - He is cool.
He is tall.
Did you serve in the special forces?
Yes, I did.
I was the best soldier...
in the special forces.
What do mean you were the best?
Among the many soldiers,
the best soldier is chosen.
Luckily, I was good at shooting and training.
(Laughing)
- I am good at those things. - I am sorry.
I couldn't help but laugh since it sounds like he is bluffing.
- He is. - Seriously.
He is definitely bluffing.
Please stand up.
- He is tall. - I am short.
You are tall.
- You aren't short. - How tall are you?
I am wearing insoles.
(He comes clean about wearing insoles.)
- He is the man. - You are wearing insoles.
A man shouldn't wear insoles.
- You shouldn't be embarrassed. - You should live as you are.
You were a special forces soldier.
I wore them because this is my first time to be on TV.
You didn't wear them before.
I don't wear them on a regular basis because I have to work out.
- Today is a special day. - He wore them for the shoot.
Your employees...
- don't really need training. - That's right.
How else would they survive in this world?
They need stamina to defend themselves.
They need endorphins to have positive energy.
Jun Hyuk is here today because he has negative energy...
from strenuous training.
He is exhausted.
Is the wage higher than other barbecue restaurants?
I wouldn't say it's much higher,
but there are a lot of employee benefits.
- Really? - Can you give us some examples?
I use my own money to register them for marathons.
My goodness.
(It's an employee benefit nobody wants.)
What else?
I buy gimbap when we go hiking.
I pay for the shower when we go swimming.
These are nice benefits.
You don't have to pay for anything if you let them rest.
Then we will lack unity.
In special forces,
unity is very important.
100 employees have quit...
- due to the lack of unity. - Seriously.
- There is no unity. - That didn't happen...
because of physical training.
Then why do you think they quit?
One said he has to go to the army.
One said her boyfriend told her not to work.
- There were different reasons. - That shows the lack of unity.
That's why I have the best members right now.
This is driving me crazy.
When you hire an employee,
do you tell the applicants they must have physical training...
once they start start working?
I always do. "Do you like soccer?"
"Are you good at hiking? Are you good at running?"
"At first, you will get minimum wage."
"However, it can go up if you participate."
Do you pay more if the employees participate gladly?
I can pay them up to 10 dollars an hour.
In that case...
- The positive energy is important. - That's right.
Employees who participate gladly...
get more tips.
They only work 3 to 4 hours a day...
because I hire a lot of part-timers.
They can rest when they want.
You still make them run a marathon.
It's for unity.
(Whom does that unity benefit?)
Look at the employees.
They look like they are...
sick and tired of unity, not work.
All of them look unhappy.
Have you jumped into the sea?
For physical training.
I haven't jumping into the sea,
but my boss makes me hike and run a marathon regularly.
For how long have you been working?
I have been working for three years.
That's impressive.
What made you work for three years?
While physical training is hard,
he rewards me.
Does he reward you?
He lets me watch a movie at a theater.
Do you go to the theater alone to watch a movie?
No, I go with my boss.
She has to go with her boss.
Do you have to go with him?
He does it for his own good.
(It's hard.)
I have been working for four years.
- He has been working for long. - Seriously.
Everyone has been working for long.
Even when I have an appointment, he tells me to cancel.
When it was my birthday, he said I should go hiking with him.
- On your birthday? - Yes.
He said, "Since it's your birthday,"
"you should drink some fresh air."
(Glancing over)
Why do you keep glancing over at him?
Look at us when you talk. It's okay.
- We will stop him. - My goodness.
When I don't participate, he swears at me.
(He swears at his employees.)
Does he swear at you?
(We will have a talk later.)
Why didn't you quit for four years?
He has done a lot for me.
He paid for my driving lessons.
- They can get expensive. - Let's hear from the next one.
I have been working for 7 or 8 months.
You are a newbie.
(Laughing)
How cute!
I went to Mongdol Beach...
with my boss and coworkers.
He lifted up my coworkers and threw them into the sea.
However, the water was too shallow.
They got their backs and arms scraped.
Saying that we only need alcohol as a disinfectant,
he brought makgeolli and soju and poured them over the wounds.
(That's dangerous.)
That's dangerous.
They must have stung.
(Is this the spirit of the special forces?)
Let's hear from the next one.
I think he will be honest.
He looks very dissatisfied.
He looks like a special forces soldier.
- A special forces soldier. - He looks very dissatisfied.
Seriously.
I have been working for a little over three years.
We have to work right after hiking.
After telling us to work,
he goes to the billiard hall...
and screen baseball center.
That must be upsetting.
It makes me want to spar against him.
(Flustered)
Do you box?
I have 4th degree in hapkido and 1st degree in yongmudo.
He was a special forces soldier.
Do you think you will win against him?
Easily.
(Did his boss teach him how to bluff?)
My goodness.
Because I dreamed of becoming a police officer,
my professor recommended that I serve in the special forces.
There, I did things I have never imagined.
I jumped from the sky and such.
When I entered the society,
I realized that I had grown more than my peers.
After I was discharged from the army,
my girlfriend became pregnant and we got married.
I believe what made me...
the owner of a restaurant at a young age...
- is the spirit I have. - You overcame many struggles.
That's why I think my employees should get into the habit...
of overcoming difficulties.
I talk to their parents about this.
I don't force the employees if their parents refuse,
but they like the idea.
- That's utter nonsense. - Why?
I mean, you can tell that he's showing off.
I can't drink alcohol while he can drink a lot.
I once saw him mixing a little bit of water...
with his drink.
Really?
- In secret? - You lost a bit of trust in him.
He also threw away the drink while drinking.
- Did you see him doing that? - Why...
Why does he have to do that?
I don't know. I also wonder what's going on in his mind.
One day, he was having really spicy tteokbokki.
He told me to try it, but I can't eat spicy food.
He said, "Why can't you eat it? You're a man."
He took a bite and said,
"It's so spicy." He was panting.
I said, "Why can't you eat it? You're a man."
Then he said, "Don't talk back to me."
He does as he wants.
(I decide on my own standards.)
To see how manly he is, we prepared spicy food.
Please bring the food.
- I like spicy food. - It looks delicious.
- Do you like spicy food? - Yes.
(I can't believe it's happening.)
(Could he be able to eat a lot of spicy food just as he said?)
- We'll try the tteokbokki first. - Okay.
Let him try it first.
It doesn't look so spicy.
- I'm starting to feel it. - Is it not spicy?
- It's spicy. - This one is spicy.
(Everyone says it's spicy.)
Is it spicy?
- It's moderately spicy. - Is it?
- His ears turned red. - Min Kyung, which one is spicy?
- Try the noodles. - The tteokbokki is spicy.
(He can't hide it.)
- The tteokbokki is spicy. - Tteokbokki?
(Mouth breathing)
Shall I try spicy dakbal?
Drink up.
(Jun Hyuk's boss is tasting spiciness.)
- Isn't this spicy for you? - It's really spicy.
He's eating it with gusto.
- Try dakbal too. - Thank you.
Min Kyung is giving him dakbal.
Look at him.
It's good, right? Spicy stir-fried chicken noodles.
(His tongue burns.)
(I'm a man. I was in the special forces.)
- Are you enduring it? - Do you know you're sweating here?
He's sweating on the philtrum.
- You were in the special forces. - Are you enduring it?
It's not that I'm enduring it. I only told him...
that I want him not to be picky as he's a man.
I think his eyes are teary.
- Look at his ears. - It's so spicy.
- I'm sweating. - It's so spicy.
- It's really spicy. - Is it very spicy?
- Yes. - Is the boss enduring it well?
Don't drink it, and eat more dakbal.
(Tae Gyun provokes him.)
(Glaring)
Okay.
I'm sweating a lot, so...
- Jun Hyuk is stepping up. - What are you doing?
- You should eat some more. - No. That's enough, Jun Hyuk.
- That's the spiciest one. - Jun Hyuk...
(Jun Hyuk, don't go overboard.)
That's enough.
I'm done eating.
But it's a waste of food.
I can't eat anymore.
Why? You're a man and were in the special forces.
Then you should try it.
(He lost his temper.)
Why should I?
- I'm not a special forces soldier. - You eat this.
I'm neither a special forces soldier nor your employee.
- I'm a TV celebrity. - He's angry.
What exercise are you best at?
I'm good at everything I learned in the special forces...
- such as sit-ups. - Are you good at chin-ups too?
I gained a little weight, but I bet I can do the average number of it.
How about he has a match against Infinite members?
Let's do that.
What do we have?
(Dong Woo, the flawless dancer of an idol group)
(Jun Hyuk's boss who served in the special forces)
- Okay. - In one minute.
Do as many as you can in one minute.
(Did the boss tell a lie or the truth?)
Ready. Go.
- 1, 2, 3, 4, - 1, 2, 3, 4,
- 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, - 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
(He's good.)
- 10, 11, 12, 13, - 10, 11, 12, 13,
- He's good. - 14,
- 15, 16, 17, 18, - 15, 16, 17, 18,
- 19, 20... - 19, 20...
(He's not easy to defeat.)
(22, 23, 24, 25)
(He keeps going in the same correct position.)
(32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
- 41, 42, - 41, 42,
- How many seconds are left? - 43,
- 44, - 44,
- 45, 46, - You can do it.
- 12 seconds are remaining. - 47,
- 48, 49, - 48, 49,
- 50, 51... - 50, 51...
- 10 seconds are remaining. - I think he'll do 60.
- 54, - Please.
- 55, - Keep going.
- 56... - 56...
- He did 56 sit-ups. - That's it.
- 57. - He did 56 sit-ups.
(I have a long way to go.)
- He did well. - He almost did one per second.
He's incredible.
- He did 56 sit-ups. - My mouth is still burning.
His record is 56.
- He didn't support his head. - Look at his thighs.
- Should I do it like this? - Yes. You can do as you want.
(He made us do that so often.)
(Could he be able to break Dong Woo's record?)
(He's full of confident.)
(He served in the special forces.)
(Could it be true that he was good at everything in the military?)
- Ready. Go. - One.
- 2, 3, - He's fast.
- 4, 5, 6... - He's really fast.
(He brings out the special forces soldier spirit.)
- Hold his legs tightly. - Gosh.
He looks like he forgot about his military training.
He's good, but he seems a bit...
He looks a little funny.
He looks like he's swimming in the sea.
He's proud to have served in the special forces.
He doesn't look cool. He looks funny instead.
- He seems very determined. - He's good.
He's really fast.
(That's not really necessary.)
- 30, 31, 32, - My goodness.
33, 34,
I'm tired.
- That's impressive. - 39,
- 40, 41, - Look at Tae Gyun.
- I'm tired. - I feel bad for Tae Gyun.
- Do not raise your hips. - 45, 46, 47, 48,
- That doesn't count. - 49,
- 50, 51, 52... - 50, 51, 52...
- Let your hips touch the ground. - The hips.
- Don't bounce your hips. - 54,
- 55, - Don't bounce your hips.
56. You might tear off your ears.
- 57, 58, - 57, 58,
- 59, and 60. - 59, and 60.
That was good.
- He did more than Dong Woo. - Five seconds are remaining.
Five seconds are remaining.
(He really has amazing physical abilities.)
He's incredible.
(He used up all of his energy.)
- He's good. I thought he'd lose. - He's amazing.
While we're at it, let's move on to the next round.
- Chin-ups. - Chin-ups.
- Chin-ups. - Chin-ups too?
Will they do chin-ups too?
(Will he defeat Dong Woo again?)
- Dong Woo will go first. - Dong Woo.
Bouncing the belly isn't allowed.
- He cares about it. - You can win this.
- Whenever you're ready. - He was in the special forces.
- 1, 2... - 1, 2...
- Go, Dong Woo. - He was in the special forces.
(He's good!)
- He's really good at it. - Three.
- 4, 5, - Dong Woo is great.
- Six. - Is he not bouncing his belly?
He's not doing it.
- He's really good. - Seven.
- 8. - 8.
My gosh.
- 9. - 9.
- It's hard to do only one. - 10.
- 10. - That's amazing.
- Go, Dong Woo. - 11.
(He encounters a crisis after 11.)
- 11. - He paused for a moment.
- 12. - 12.
- He's tired. - My gosh.
(Just a little more!)
- 13. - 13!
(13)
(Everyone cheers for him in one mind.)
(Dong Woo, please.)
(Complete the 13th!)
- 13. - He did 13 chin-ups.
- 13. - That's amazing.
(Dong Woo is great!)
He's good.
(Why am I feeling that I let them trick me?)
- Well done. - How many will Jun Hyuk's boss do?
It's hard to do just one.
Those who can't do this can't even do one.
(He said he was good at it with confidence.)
(How well could he do chin-ups?)
He'll begin shortly.
- 1, 2... - 1, 2...
- He's good. - Three.
- 4, 5, - 4, 5,
- 6, 7, - Don't bounce your belly.
- eight, - Don't bounce your belly.
- nine, - Don't bounce your belly.
- 10. - You just bounced your belly.
- 10. - Don't use the bounce.
- Let's go again. - You shouldn't do that.
You just bounced your belly again.
- Just go up without doing that. - Use your arms only.
- 12. - He's good.
Don't bounce your belly.
That doesn't count.
(Groaning)
- He's good. - 13.
- He's good. - He really is good.
- He's good. - He's amazing.
- He's really good. - Dong Woo won, but he's amazing.
- Jun Hyuk, try it. - No.
- Give it a try. - No.
You're on a TV show.
Just give it a try.
You're the youngest among us.
He can't do it.
- Watch me closely. - "Watch me closely."
"I'm a part-timer."
- 1, 2. - My gosh.
- Three. - Good.
(Screaming)
- He's cute. - Good job.
How did you feel when you were forced to do it?
It didn't feel so good.
For example, a mathematician is your boss.
Every single day, he explains how useful it can be...
in your everyday life to study math, science, and physics.
And he forces you to study them.
- That's annoying. - If you don't do it well,
- he decreases your pay. - You must take exams.
You tell your parents, but they love the idea.
Of course they do.
- He helps him study. - Right.
That's a very good example. I'll change it.
Not everything you do with good intentions is good for others.
(Too much of anything can be bad.)
If there's anything you believe he should change,
tell him specifically without being afraid.
Just 2 or 3 times a month...
Three times are too often. Twice a month would be enough...
for playing soccer or hiking.
- Twice a month? - Yes.
I'll do that.
He's cool.
- All right. - He's cool.
From now on, they will exercise only twice a month.
Do the other employees have anything to ask him for?
- Only if you have something to say. - That's right.
I knew you had something to say.
- He looks like... - When we play soccer,
he doesn't show up sometimes...
saying that something urgent came up.
Does he not play soccer with you?
He doesn't show up from time to time.
(He emphasized the solidarity.)
That's funny.
I once worked all by myself because there was no one...
who was available after playing soccer.
My boss said he would work with me but didn't show up.
- He didn't show up again. - That's not good.
- I want him to keep his promises. - Right.
(I want you to keep your promises.)
Now, we'll start the voting.
- What do you think? - I thought it would've been nice...
to have a senior singer who gave me challenges,
so I could grow stronger.
- It's a no. - I don't think it's a worry either.
I think it's great to have a boss like him.
He helps you exercise and rewards you.
If someone forces me to do something,
- I would do the opposite. - Right.
I understand his employees, so I think it's a worry.
If someone like Young Shin works for him...
- because she needs money, - She wouldn't even complain.
she would suffer it without complaining about it.
- That's what I thought. - She'd throw up on top of the hill.
Exactly.
(Min Kyung thinks it's a worry.)
I also think it's a worry.
Please press the button if you think it's a worry.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - I think he'll get a lot of votes.
- Stop. - Time's up.
Boss, why don't you say a word to your employees?
More people than I thought pressed the button.
I didn't know their worries were this serious.
Since you guys helped me so much,
I'll help you whenever you need my help.
- I'll repay you. - That's great.
- I'll do my best. - The boss is great.
Thank you, guys.
(Thank you, guys.)
Show us the result please.
