- National Competition on Worries! - National Competition on Worries!
Today, there's a different atmosphere in our studio.
We can feel greater excitement than usual.
Students at Seokyeong University are here with us...
with the theme, "Youth Special".
(200 students came on the show from Seokyeong University.)
It feels completely different. I'll introduce our today's guests.
Tony An!
Hello.
Hani and Jeong Hwa of EXID!
(Hani and Jeong Hwa of EXID)
San E!
(San E, the rapper and mentor)
Han Hyun Min!
(Han Hyun Min, the most popular celebrity)
We also invited a senior student from your university.
He's currently taking time off. Jung Seung Hwan!
(Jung Seung Hwan, the singer with a sweet voice)
You must be famous at school. Is he famous?
- Yes! - Yes!
- He's very popular. - Indeed.
Are you majoring in applied music?
Yes, I'm majoring in applied music.
- In what year did you enroll? - In 2016.
- In 2016? You're so young. - I see.
Why don't you tell us good things about your school?
The applied music department has a very good environment.
There's enough space for students to practice.
We invited the most popular celebrity here today.
Hyun Min, are you still growing taller?
Yes, I'm still growing taller.
I'm taking herbal medicine to stop growing taller.
- To stop growing taller? - Yes.
- How tall are you now? - I'm 189cm tall.
Aren't our sitting heights similar?
You're taller than him sitting down.
- You're taller than him. - Sorry, but you're taller than him.
Please stretch out your legs.
(From left: Unidentified, 189cm, 175cm)
Stretch out your legs.
(Maybe I shouldn't have come here.)
Tony, you haven't come here for a while.
- Today's theme is "Youth Special". - Yes.
I think I'm enjoying...
the most youthful time in my life lately.
Your group H.O.T reunited not long ago.
People got so excited. How did people around you react?
- We got enthusiastic responses. - Of course.
- I was surprised. - Your mom was the happiest, right?
She's been hard to reach.
- I see. - Not long ago,
she even changed her phone number without letting me know.
(She changed her phone number.)
- She changed her number. - She didn't tell you?
No, she didn't.
It looks like your mom is enjoying a youthful time.
Have you ever had a drink with your mom?
Yes, I've drunk with her a few times.
However, I'm concerned about her health.
- Is she doing okay? - Yes, she is.
(She's healthy.)
Also,
she drinks as much as you do.
I see.
Aren't EXID members and Seung Hwan...
around the same age as the Seokyeong University students?
Hani, do you have any worries?
I think anxiety about the future is one of the most common stress...
- among young people. - That's right.
And I'm no exception.
Seung Hwan, what about you? You're around their age.
Many of my friends are worried about getting a job after graduation.
Right.
I had two worries when I was in my early 20s.
"What kind of guy could she be dating?"
"Why won't she go out with me?"
The other one is the fact that I couldn't...
drink as much as I did in high school.
I shouldn't have said that.
(Laughing)
They drink 100 days before the college admission exam.
The winner of today's episode, "Youth Special"...
will receive 2,000 dollars of chancellor scholarship...
in addition to the cash prize.
We have received three stories from Seokyeong University students.
Show us the keywords please.
I wonder what kind of worries college students these days have.
"Should I Give up on My Dream?"
"Is Youth Supposed to Be Like This?"
"A Complicated Problem about Women"'.
(Preparing for recording)
They look so young and refreshed.
(Young and refreshed)
Their voices also sound so energetic.
Their voices sound energetic.
They're giving off such strong energy.
I used to be like them.
Tony must be jealous...
- of your youthfulness. - You never get tired at that age.
But I'm not jealous.
I'm not. Being young is good, but I hate being poor.
(How is everyone enjoying their youthful time?)
"A Complicated Problem about Women"'.
I'm dreaming of becoming the best musical actor in Korea,
but I have a serious problem.
"I love you, my prince."
"I... I love you."
"Let me kiss you... Let me..."
"Is this really necessary?"
"Just do it already. You frustrate me."
"What are you doing?"
I have serious anxiety around women.
- On stage as well? - That's what the title meant.
- He's the opposite of Dong Yeob. - He's an actor.
An actor with anxiety around women.
When my female junior students say hi to me,
I murmur...
(Oh, hello.)
- Really? Do it again. - My goodness.
"Hello. Did you have lunch?"
"Yes, I did."
That's so funny.
I can't even look women in the eyes let alone talk to them.
When I'm alone with a woman...
"Oh, no. Your hand. You spilt coffee on it."
"Sorry? My hand? What are you talking about... Gosh, it's hot!"
My hand shook so much that I spilt coffee on my hand,
- but I didn't even notice the heat. - That's a serious problem.
That's how nervous he gets.
Even when I went to a hospital because I was so sick...
"Sir, please take your clothes off for the treatment."
"Take off... Take off... Take off my clothes?"
(Take off my clothes?)
What should I do about my anxiety?
To me, the college life is like a nightmare.
Please help me.
(Please help me with my college life.)
When Dong Yeob reads a story,
he's not very good at imitating dialects or accents.
But he did an excellent job today.
He's good at doing anything regarding women.
(He's good at doing anything regarding women.)
The biggest problem is that he's an actor.
- That's right. - That worries me.
- He's an aspiring musical actor. - How could he perform with women?
- He has to perform on stage... - He has to pretend to be in love.
- That's right. - When he slides down,
- you two help him. - That would be nice.
You two...
- He'll get extremely nervous. - hold his hands.
- Okay. - Hold his hands.
- Okay. - He might faint.
- Please come out. - It might be the end of the show.
(Who is worried about anxiety around women?)
(Flinching)
(Today's guest with anxiety around women...)
(is coming toward the trap.)
(He's caught in the trap.)
(It's right before the welcoming ceremony. Don't be too surprised.)
(How will he react?)
Hold his hands.
(Running)
(A cheetah appeared in the studio.)
(Unbelievable)
(Seo Hwi Jeong)
- I bet he heard us while waiting. - Help him.
We'll help you.
That's okay. I'm sorry.
- Hello. - Shake hands with Hani as well.
(He's avoiding eye contact.)
He shook hands with them like this.
(The unusual way of greeting)
- Come on. - Please sit here.
Please introduce yourself.
Okay. Hello. I'm Seo Hwi Jeong. I enrolled in college in 2014,
and I'm majoring in musical theater. It's nice to meet you all.
Is it true...
that you have anxiety around women?
- Yes, it's true... - He's tall and handsome.
- I'm 189cm tall. - He's tall.
Also, I eat 5 or 6 bowls of rice for each meal.
- That's... - For a single meal?
Yes.
Many people say that I'm manly.
He eats a lot.
However, whenever I stand in front of women,
I feel daunted and lose my confidence.
It's not about confidence. When your junior students say,
"Hello. Did you have lunch?"
(Stuttering)
You stutter like this.
Is it just because you're shy?
Or could it be that you think too far ahead when you see girls?
- "What if we become like this..." - How?
"No!"
(Imagining things in his head)
My goodness.
- Exactly. - He thinks too far ahead always.
It's not like that.
I get too nervous to even think about anything else.
Then let me ask you straightforwardly.
You must have had a girlfriend before.
- I dated one girl. - Just one girl?
But we broke up for a sad reason.
I started dating her when I was in 12th grade.
She said she liked me so much, but she was distressed.
Why was she distressed?
- I... - You didn't express your feelings?
I couldn't hold her hand.
(He doesn't even know what to do on a date.)
- And... - I can't believe him.
(He makes Dong Yeob want to teach him.)
That's so sad.
He couldn't hold her hand when he was dating her?
Does it mean you did everything else other than holding her hand?
Don't be like that.
- You couldn't even hold her hand? - That's right.
She'd hold my hand first...
or kiss me on the cheek.
But I still couldn't do the same.
She was the only one who expressed her feelings that way.
I understand that it hurt her feelings so much.
Your girlfriend kissed you on the cheek and everything,
- but you didn't do anything? - You didn't express your feelings.
- That's so... - I know. So we broke up.
I cried a lot while listening to...
"Rainy Season" by Jung In.
It's a true story. I really...
No one said you were lying.
I cried because I was so sad.
(The breakup made him cry like the rain.)
Haven't you made any effort?
If I had tried it after she said that,
- she would've been more... - He thinks too much.
- It could seem you were forced. - Yes.
(Lowering his head politely)
- I thought... - Don't ask him any questions.
- That makes him nervous. - "Yes."
- That's right. - "Yes."
- I can't believe him. - I'm sorry.
He'd be stressed out so much if he was sitting next to them.
Ask him another question.
So... In that case, you haven't...
(He gazes blankly.)
You should look at her. She's speaking to you.
- Please look at me. - That's rude.
- I'm sorry. - Then...
- your girlfriend... - Why are you looking at me?
(In fact, he was looking at Tae Gyun.)
- Why are you looking at me? - I mean...
- Then... - Yes.
Have you not kissed anyone...
(Has he never kissed anyone before?)
- Have you not kissed anyone? - That's right.
I've never kissed anyone in my life.
It's true.
You have never kissed anyone?
- No. Not once. - You said...
your girlfriend kissed you on the cheek.
Yes.
You could've just turned your head when she kissed you on the cheek.
That's my specialty.
That's his specialty.
- You didn't turn your head? - No, I didn't.
(Dong Yeob's easy lesson)
I just can't...
(We hope he'll learn it soon.)
There are also naive people like him.
- You're a musical actor. - Exactly.
How do you perform if you get nervous around women?
How can you perform on stage?
That's what worries me so much.
I once had a scene where I kiss...
an actress on her cheek and forehead.
The other actors did it easily,
but I couldn't do it.
- Did you practice it? - You must've needed practice.
Yes, I practiced it.
How? On the floor?
I want to know where he kissed.
Where could he have kissed?
(What did he use to practice a kiss?)
Where?
I used a doll and my pillow...
- to practice it. - That's unbelievable.
Was it kind of princess doll?
No. It wasn't that kind of doll.
I like Charmander so much.
(A cartoon character)
Did you succeed on stage after practicing it?
(He was only asked about the situation.)
I was... No. I... I mean...
(His tongue got twisted.)
In the end...
This is how he stutters.
(The original version of stuttering)
This is it.
I...
- I barely managed to kiss her. - Did you kiss her?
I kissed her cheek lightly.
Did you think of her face as Charmander?
But it's just a performance.
You should be able to do it on stage.
That's why I'm worried about it so much.
I'm supposed to immerse myself in my character, but...
You must've tried to overcome your anxiety.
- Yes, I did. - What kind of effort did you make?
I was advised to make eye contact with a woman...
for between 3 and 5 seconds every day.
That's how I've been trying to overcome my anxiety.
- Can you show us? - Wouldn't he be too shy?
- Make eye contact with her. - Give it a try.
- I'll cover your eyes. - Okay.
- Go closer to him. - Look ahead.
Close your eyes.
Make yourself... Close your eyes.
- I think he's getting nervous. - Keep your eyes closed.
I'll count to three slowly.
Please open your eyes on three. Keep your eyes closed.
- 1... - 2, 3.
(She is sitting...)
(right in front of him.)
(1, 2, 3)
Please hold on a second.
2, 3.
(Please hold on a second.)
(He might get a heart attack.)
- Look at her for three seconds. - It's hard for him.
- It's just that... - He seems so nervous.
- However... - Look at her.
Look at her just for five seconds.
You can just look at her. It's not so hard.
- He can't bring himself to do it. - What on earth...
are you thinking about?
You brat!
Hani, come back to your seat.
Hani, come back here.
(I'm feeling so hot.)
Exactly how does it feel?
When you see a woman,
are you shy or intimidated?
There are a few situations that give me hard times.
When I get on a bus or a subway,
I'm pretty sure that it's the same for everyone here.
People don't usually sit next to their opposite gender, right?
- What? - Why?
That's ridiculous.
You sit in an empty seat regardless of that.
Do all men sit on one side while all women sit on the other side?
You should sit down whenever you find an empty seat.
- What line do you often take? - What are you talking about?
When I find an empty seat,
but a woman is sitting next to it, I feel...
So I just choose not to sit down.
Also, I got on the subway, and there were a lot of people in there.
A woman who was this tall...
was standing very close to me.
- The subway was packed. - Yes. However,
I thought I would make her feel uncomfortable...
by breathing on her head.
- So... - Did you stop breathing?
(You still need to breathe.)
I needed to breathe,
so I got off at the next stop.
He got off the train just to breathe.
- Gosh. - Just to breathe.
He got off to breathe.
Seriously.
Do you not go in a shop...
where there are women in there?
When a female shop assistant comes up to me...
and asks me if I'm looking for anything particular,
I say I don't need her help and leave.
But when there's a male shop assistant,
I ask him if they have the product that I'm looking for.
I don't know why, but I get intimidated by women.
What about in an elevator?
Let's say there's only one woman in the elevator.
Would you not get in the elevator?
I get in the elevator only when I'm in a hurry.
The woman would feel offended.
The doors open.
He sees her and...
(Just go. Hurry up.)
I've turned around...
pretending to play with my phone.
Is it okay to talk to a woman over the phone?
Yes, it's hard for me to see their faces.
It's easier for me to tell them my honest feelings...
over the phone. Many women got a wrong idea...
because of that.
Among all the women in the world,
except for your mother and sister,
is there anyone you're good friends with?
- Whom he feels comfortable around. - Is there anyone?
Among the students who enrolled in college in the same year as me,
there are a few female friends...
who understand me and come up to me first.
You don't feel nervous around them?
No, but I can't make eye contact with them either.
- Still? - Nevertheless?
Five seconds are my limit.
- Gosh. This is... - This is a serious problem.
- definitely a worry. - That's right.
I think this is the most serious problem I've heard on Hello.
(He has an unprecedented worry.)
Let's meet his friends.
Hello.
(Who are Hwi Jeong's friends?)
Does he really get that nervous...
when he's around women?
We spend the most time among male friends.
But whenever a female student...
comes up to us,
he stutters just as he did before.
(He gets nervous.)
It happens a lot.
Since I've seen him like that a lot,
I got used to it. So I just let it go.
Hwi Jeong once told me...
that since he finished his military service,
he wanted to look good in front of female junior students.
Not long ago,
we had a meeting on the play we were preparing.
After he said, "Professor, in my opinion..."
(Stuttering)
- Oh, no. - Things like that happen a lot.
So I feel bad for him.
Since I'm a woman,
when I first saw Hwi Jeong acting like that,
I thought it was weird.
He became so nervous when I just called his name.
He stopped me...
from going near him.
He avoided me as well.
I've known him for five years.
Now, I can finally understand that it's just the way he is.
Can you look at her comfortably?
She's one of my female friends I told you about.
- You two call each other. - Can you look at her...
- for three seconds? - He feels comfortable around her.
I can look at her for between 3 and 5 seconds.
She kindly approached me first.
- Should you count time in seconds? - One second per year.
It causes many different problems, but I think...
it causes the most serious problem when he prepares a play.
When he has to look into an actress' eyes...
or make physical contact with her,
Hwi Jeong becomes flustered.
We came up with a solution.
We advised him to look between their eyes instead,
but it's hard for him to even look at their faces.
Besides, he can't look at them for a certain period of time.
So he delays our rehearsals...
- quite often. - I see.
I was the one he mentioned when he talked about physical contact.
I was the actress he performed with...
in the play. We played a married couple.
He just had to kiss me on the cheek lightly,
but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
I got annoyed, and I told him to just get it over with.
I yelled at him.
Then he apologized to me repeatedly...
and said he would try.
As it was being delayed, our professor said...
it was because he hadn't kissed anyone before then.
The professor lined up 3 boys and 3 girls and made us practice.
Are you saying that he practiced by himself?
We practiced it in relay.
- I see. - After practicing for a while,
Hwi Jeong got the hang of it.
Our professor told him to use that feeling on stage.
- My gosh. - I don't think...
he can be this way unless something happened to him.
Is there a reason...
- for you to have become like this? - In your childhood?
I thought about it.
When I was in middle school, I had to go back to the classroom...
after playing soccer or basketball...
during the lunch break, but I was feeling hot.
I took off my vest,
and my classmates saw the sweat marks...
under my armpits and on my back.
- You sweated while exercising. - Yes.
- It's natural for a teenager. - Of course.
It was a petty thing,
but some said I was dirty and smelly.
- Some said, "Go away." - Were they girls?
Yes, especially girls said that a lot.
Did you go to a co-ed school?
Yes, in middle school. I was stressed out a lot.
I think maybe that's when I started to have this problem.
That's the only thing you could think of as a reason.
Yes, I think I've been intimidated ever since.
I thought, "Oh, I'm smelly."
- Who doesn't sweat? - You smell bad when you sweat.
Everyone smells bad when they sweat.
- You don't smell bad otherwise. - They must smell bad too.
- Exactly. - I think I'm too timid...
to ignore it.
But if you avoid girls too much,
people might get you wrong.
- That's right. - Something like that happened.
I'm usually the youngest in every group.
When I'm with older guys, I'm like, "Let's go eat."
I take their arm and stuff.
When girls see that, they question...
- my sexual orientation. - They get you wrong.
- Because you avoid girls... - But you're just friends.
while you're close with other guys, they get you wrong.
(That's just misunderstanding.)
Is there anything else you're worried about?
He is very shy around girls,
but he basically has very low self-esteem.
His self-esteem is extremely low.
When someone approaches, he worries he'll get in trouble.
He doesn't understand.
He shuts everyone out even before getting to know them.
He is also not very confident about his looks.
- Why? - He looks good.
As a joke, we sometimes divide into...
Team Good-looking and Team Ugly.
I belong to Team Good-looking.
That's self-confidence.
That's right.
Hwi Jeong says, "I'll go to Team Ugly."
He's usually like that.
You're supposed to joke, right?
That's what we expected.
"Go to that team."
- You should be like that. - It becomes boring.
Hwi Jeong can never speak up...
for himself.
When you enter the university, the most difficult role is...
the stage manager.
You stay up all night every night and receive a lot of criticism...
as a stage manager.
- It's hard. - It is.
But he couldn't turn down the role.
He takes on all the responsibilities.
For the year, he was under so much stress...
- and got hurt a lot. - Look.
In addition to being shy around girls,
why do you think you have such low self-confidence?
I think it comes down to my family background.
I was born in Seoul, and I moved to Daegu,
Chilgok, and then Incheon. I moved around a lot.
My family had financial problems.
That's why my parents sent me and my sister away.
They got divorced.
- They got divorced? - Yes.
My aunt took care of us in the beginning.
After that, my grandparents took care of us.
In fifth grade, we started to live with our dad.
The three of us have been living together since then.
Recently, my dad told me to give up acting.
He said he was financially struggling.
Six days a week, I practice acting until late.
On the remaining one day, I work as a part-timer...
at distribution centers or construction sites...
to pay my living expenses.
That's why I always have low self-confidence.
Last December, I got a stupid idea...
and even put it into action.
In a situation like that, it's easy to get lost...
or give up on everything.
- But you've been amazing. - Yes, he's turned out great.
You've stayed strong so far.
The reason why I've been able to go on is...
my classmates. Two weeks ago,
they came to me.
They gave me 400 dollars,
saying they wanted me to keep it.
I refused, but they said they wanted to be my family.
They said they wanted to see me eat well...
and insisted that I accept the money.
I cried in front of them for the first time.
That's so thoughtful.
(He has amazing friends.)
Did you thank your female classmates too?
I can't even look them in the eye.
You haven't thanked them?
I want to take this opportunity to thank them.
- That's so thoughtful. - How did you come up with...
such a beautiful idea?
We spend all day together at school.
Except when we sleep.
Like Hwi Jeong said,
he usually eats 5 to 6 helpings every meal.
But recently, he started to skip lunch,
saying he has something to do or he is not hungry.
We assumed he was short on money.
So we decided to...
chip in a little money...
so that Hwi Jeong could eat well.
- That's so thoughtful. - That's beautiful.
(His friends are both good-looking and warm-hearted.)
It seems like you're pursuing your dream.
What is your dream?
It might sound funny, but I want to become an actor.
- Why would that be funny? - It's not funny at all.
- It's not? - You major in musical acting.
You want to be a musical actor...
- It wasn't funny at all. - Not at all.
- You want to... - Were you trying to be funny?
Do you have any role model?
Cho Jung Seok.
- He's the best. - Nab Ddeuk.
- Yes. - Nab Ddeuk is amazing with girls.
- Can you show us? - Show us.
(He tries playing Nab Ddeuk.)
Here.
(Looking forward)
(Deep breath)
- Let me start. - Ready.
Action.
(Nab Ddeuk lectures on kissing.)
When you kiss, your lips touch, right?
This is her tongue, and this is yours.
They meet naturally like this.
Rub them together.
(Will he...)
Rub them like crazy!
Rub them all over the place like crazy!
(Forget the timid me.)
(He explodes his love for himself.)
It's fantastic.
(I did it.)
(Bravo!)
He knows how to kiss.
- But... - It looked natural.
He must want to kiss someone so badly.
You want to be a musical actor.
Can you sing for us?
(Sing for us too.)
(He has a pure voice.)
(Instrument)
(His voice is beautiful.)
(The king of music charts listens carefully.)
(The person who loved me)
(The experiment starts.)
Keep going.
You can do this.
(Struggling)
I'll stop here.
- He's a good singer. - You're good.
You did it.
It was amazing.
He has a nice voice.
He's good at everything.
He's a good singer too.
It was meant to be a joke, but it was right.
Just get rid of your dirty thoughts.
(I'll try to have nice thoughts.)
When I was little,
my grandfather's business failed.
My mom had to work,
so I grew up at my grandparents'.
When I met my parents once a week,
I'd beg them to take me.
My parents could never come to...
my graduation.
I had to follow my friends and their parents...
and eat with them, feeling uncomfortable.
But all those deficiencies...
become your strengths later in your life.
Your deficiencies are...
not meant to damage your self-esteem.
Think of them as the foundation...
for a great life.
(Dong Yeob comforts him sincerely using his own example.)
What do you want to do when you get a girlfriend?
I want to go to a zoo.
I love animals.
Does that make him attractive?
Yes. Don't you want to go on a zoo date?
- Yes. - See?
Is there any girl you're interested in...
at your school?
There is.
- Is she in your department? - Yes.
Your classmates seem to know.
- Did you know? - You told the truth.
It's not among those four, right?
What?
He's not interested in guys.
- I was surprised. - He's not.
You should tell her.
- Thank you. - Do you want to practice?
Imagine Hani is her.
Look her in the eye.
- If he can do this... - Tony.
Please get out of the way.
I didn't know what to do.
Go down the slide once.
I'll try.
Let's do this.
(His crush is sitting in front of him.)
(He plucks up the courage to tell her about his feelings.)
He's going to say it. You can do this.
(He pulls himself together.)
Hani.
- Good. - Look her in the eye.
Look her in the eye.
(Will he...)
Do you want to go to the zoo with me?
(Do you want to go to the zoo with me?)
Okay. Let's go to the zoo.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
(What?)
Why are you sorry?
That's how you do it.
(He apologizes afterwards.)
(Shy)
He's become a lot better.
- Right? - In a short while.
- In a short while. - He looked you in the eye.
- You feel it, right? - Yes.
- Do you feel better now? - He has more confidence.
I feel a bit better.
I can see that. You ran past the girls at first.
On the bright side,
these emotions become assets...
for an actor.
Study these emotions and learn how to deliver them.
There must be people who are experiencing the same pain.
You have the power to express it on the stage.
Hwi Jeong's friends,
why don't you say a few words of encouragement...
- or sing a song for him? - Sing a song.
You study musical theater.
(I love you)
(These are words from my heart)
(I breathe for you)
(Touched)
It's nice.
(They gather their hearts...)
(and deliver love.)
How nice!
(It was touching.)
They are cool.
(Why is she crying?)
- Why are you crying? - Why are you shedding tears?
- Their friendship is beautiful. - I know.
- It's beautiful. - Then the two of you...
should sing a bit of a cheerful song.
- In 1, 2, 3, 4. - Up, down, up, up, down
Sing "Up and Down".
- In 1, 2, 3, 4. - That's just absurd.
(They sing "Up and Down" to cheer for Hwi Jeong.)
- Cheer up. - Seriously.
I hope you will live happily with your friends...
for a long time.
If I have five friends like them,
- I wouldn't be scared of anything. - They're amazing.
Take this moment to say your last words to your friends.
Thank you so much.
I am both apologetic and thankful for what you have done for me.
You always look after me.
I am sincerely thankful for my friends in the university.
I want to use this opportunity...
to thank them.
Thank you.
(Again, thank you.)
Shall we start with Jeong Hwa?
At first, I thought it was a big worry.
Now, I don't think it's a worry.
I think it's a worry.
However...
Okay.
- She expressed herself. - That was refreshing.
He showed us how he can overcome his problem.
If you try harder and overcome this problem,
your worry will disappear.
I believe he can improve himself from here,
so I won't say it's a worry.
I think it could be a worry.
I also think it's a worry.
It's a problem that is directly tied to his self-esteem.
I could feel that Hwi Jeong is a very nice man.
That's why he has nice friends.
If you think it's a worry,

"Is Youth Supposed to Be Like This?"
Hello.
Hello, I am a university student who majors in cultural contents.
"You are at the prime of your life. Enjoy it."
Everyone says that,
but I am busy taking classes, doing assignments,
searching for a job, and building up a resume.
I don't see how I am at the prime of my life.
Compared to an upperclassman in my department,
I have it better.
"Why don't we have lunch together before we go to class?"
"No, I am busy."
"We don't have classes. What are you doing today?"
"I am working part-time."
"What are you doing on the weekend?"
"I am working part-time."
(It must be hard.)
Keeping up with classes is hard enough,
but she has three part-time jobs on top of it.
She lives diligently.
(She lives diligently.)
Two part-time jobs are bad enough.
The problem is,
the lack of sleep and rest...
turned her into a walking hospital.
I don't know why she pushes herself so much.
Please help her.
Tony, what do you think about this worry?
I felt like I was listening to a story about me.
- Your back hurts, right? - What?
Your back hurts when you are in your 40s.
My entire body aches,
but it's fun to work. It's the only thing I can do.
I do worry about my body.
That's why I get IV fluids often.
I eat a lot of healthy food.
This woman must work...
despite her aching body...
because she has a big reason.
EXID, how much sleep do you get these days?
In a week, we get about five hours of sleep.
- It happens. - Five hours a week?
When they make a comeback,
they have to attend shoots.
- That's right. - Their schedules...
- are impossible. - Five hours?
(They persevere with willpower.)
Let's meet the person who sent us this worry.
Please come on out.
(Whose worry involves a busy friend?)
(Kim Ga Yeon)
Please introduce yourself.
Hello, I am a cultural contents major...
who entered university in 2016, Kim Ga Yeon.
Welcome.
You are worried that your classmate works too much.
Her health is suffering, too.
- How sick is she? - Seriously.
She doesn't have time to rest.
She is busy all the time.
Give us the details.
What is her schedule like?
Tell us.
Her days are so packed...
that I brought a written schedule.
(She brought a written schedule.)
Did you really bring a written schedule?
- My goodness. - Okay.
- Does she meet men? - Ta-da.
(A busy woman's schedule)
(Part-time job at a cafe)
(On-campus job)
(She has three part-time jobs a week.)
- Please run us through it. - "Appointments"?
Between classes and on weekends,
she works as a server at a cafe.
Hold on. It goes from 1pm to 7pm.
- Yes. - Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
3 days a week from 8am to 12pm,
she has an on-campus job.
She works on campus...
- for a work-study program. - She is on a work-study program.
- She is on a work-study program. - She works five days a week.
What is "Part-time job for events"?
She works as a narrator for cosmetic product events.
(A narrator for cosmetic product events)
"Visit Yonhap News Agency".
For TV Worknet,
she plans and produces a segment...
as an extracurricular activity.
That's why she visits Yonhap News Agency.
(She has a lot of extracurricular activities.)
- She can barely eat. - She does volunteer work until 4am.
For an extracurricular activity,
she edits videos and such until morning.
Editing videos take that long.
Is she in a dance team?
This year, she became the president of a performance club.
Every week, she holds practices...
- for singing or dancing. - President?
She holds practices.
If those practices finish early, she eats.
She is so busy that she often eats...
triangle gimbap or regular gimbap.
Because of that,
- she has indigestion. - Of course she does.
Since she doesn't sleep much, she lacks the energy.
She has anemia.
She doesn't take care of her health.
What is "Appointment" on Sunday?
Whenever she has time,
she hangs out with people.
This is when she makes connections.
- She makes connections. - That's right.
She does that once a week.
Do they drink in the morning?
Her goal is as clear as day.
She wants to be a CEO in the future.
A CEO of a group.
It looks like she is someone who can't remain still.
She refuses rest.
I can relate to her.
When I get a day off,
I make appointments.
- I call people up. - That's right.
You just want to drink.
- Is that what it is? - Yes.
I see.
Let's talk to her and see...
if her goal is to become a CEO...
- as Tony thinks. - A CEO.
(Let's ask her.)
Where are you?
- Hello. - Hello.
(Who is the busy classmate?)
Hello.
To maintain a daily routine,
you should get enough rest...
and eat regular meals.
I think your schedule is too packed.
It doesn't affect me negatively.
I want to be a reporter,
a writer, or a stage director.
That's why I am trying different things...
to find out what I want to do with my life.
These experiences...
will help me get a job.
That's why I live diligently.
She has a point.
I heard that you are in a performance club.
Is it related to your dream?
You only get a chance to sing and dance on the stage...
when you are young.
Running a performance club is something I want to do,
so I refuse to give it up.
You have three part-time jobs.
I have a work-study job at the public affairs office.
I work as a student reporter.
I also serve coffee at a cafe.
There aren't a lot of customers, so it's pretty relaxed.
I also work as a narrator in front of a cosmetic store.
"Hello, all products are on sale today."
"Please come in and have a look."
"This lip color will look great on you."
"Please come in and have a look."
(She is good.)
- She is good. - That's incredible.
That's what I do.
(She has skills.)
It pays well.
So...
- Since it pays well, - Not many people use this gesture.
I can't stop working.
There must be a reason why you work part-time.
My parents had four children.
I am the oldest. Then there is my twin sister.
The third one is 15 years old.
Then the youngest one is a 12-year-old boy...
- in fifth grade. - Your parents had him late.
Since my mom is the sole breadwinner,
I work part-time...
to make a living.
Taking care of yourself eases your parents' burden greatly.
- That's right. - Tuition and living expenses.
Ga Yeon is worried...
because your schedule is too full.
Don't you think...
your schedule is too full?
I am sure all college students keep a similar schedule.
Does anyone have a schedule that is as full as hers?
(Is anyone busier than her?)
- Is anyone busier than her? - Who has three part-time jobs?
Who leads a busy life?
(Does no one have 3 part-time jobs?)
There is no one.
You are the only one.
Raise your hand if you have a part-time job.
Who has a part-time job?
Who has two part-time jobs?
(Who has 2 part-time jobs?)
(A man raises his hand.)
- There is one. - He has two part-time jobs.
- Her twin sister does, too. - She has two part-time jobs.
Let's talk to a man who has two part-time jobs.
What are your part-time jobs?
On weekends, I work at a PC station from 8am to 3pm.
Then I work at a restaurant from 4pm.
- It's impressive. - He works only on the weekends.
- He works only on the weekends. - It's still impressive.
It's impressive.
She gave her reasons why...
she works so hard and lives her life diligently.
Were you aware of those reasons?
I know why she feels responsible...
for her family,
but she is too young...
to give her mom...
(She becomes emotional.)
My goodness.
Is she your sister?
(He doesn't understand.)
She became emotional...
because she knows how fiercely...
her classmate works.
She often talks about sending living expenses to her mom...
or academy fees for her siblings.
The responsibility she carries as the oldest daughter...
makes my heart ache.
Since she is a student, she should focus on her studies.
However, she can't help but doze off in class...
or turn in her assignment late sometimes.
I am afraid that her efforts will lead to nowhere.
Since I do my best in everything, my GPA is 3.8.
I don't think it's too bad.
A GPA of 3.8 is very nice.
Isn't she doing pretty well?
- She is doing pretty well. - She is doing very well.
- Don't worry about her. - What's your GPA?
- For goodness' sake. - You worried for nothing.
Are you making up a story?
With some money she earned from her part-time jobs,
she buys cosmetic products and clothes.
- That's... - To hang out with people,
she uses her money and time. Her schedule is inefficient.
It's nothing to cry about.
Her GPA is 3.8. She earns money...
and sends some to her mom. Do you go on dates?
Of course I do.
- Are you serious? - My goodness.
(How does she do that?)
Incredible.
- Hold on. - She has a cool life.
She is cool.
When do you go on dates?
- She does everything. - "Appointment".
"Appointment".
- There is "Appointment". - She meets men once a week.
- Is he a classmate? - There is "Appointment".
- That's when you meet him. - There is "Appointment".
No, no.
- My goodness. - When does she see him?
(He reached a conclusion very quickly.)
Don't go there.
She wouldn't see him during the night.
She must see him during volunteer work.
(Dong Yeob has talent in this area.)
(Did I get it right?)
(Dong Yeob will become a meme once again.)
She must see him during volunteer work.
- That's incredible. - It makes sense.
(Even when you are busy, love is a must.)
Tell me the truth.
It will be a disaster if my mom sees this.
I see him over dinner sometimes for an hour or two...
or during my free time on Sunday.
- They go on dates. - Ga Yeon,
- do you have a boyfriend? - No.
That must be why she is annoyed.
I see.
- I see. - That must be why she cried.
Recently, she suffered from enteritis for 2 or 3 weeks...
and lost 7kg.
She was recommended to stay at the hospital,
but she refused because of high cost...
and all the appointments she had to attend.
She received outpatient treatment.
I am certain it cost more money.
I have an acid reflux.
I always suffer from diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome.
Last year, I couldn't walk because my stomach hurt so much.
Since it's expensive to take a taxi, I took a bus to a hospital.
I was involved in too many things to be hospitalized.
I can't do anything if I am hospitalized.
There are things that are more important than health,
so I keep delaying taking care of myself.
What's more important than health?
What exactly is more important than health?
Getting a job is very important.
- Getting a job. - If I don't keep myself busy,
I become very worried. I feel like I won't get a job.
- She is addicted to work. - When I rest, I think to myself,
"I feel like I should do something. What am I not doing?"
I become so worried that I can't rest.
Are you so nervous about getting a job...
that you can't even think of taking care of your health?
Who is as nervous as her?
- Of course they are worried. - If you are worried,
- please raise your hand. - Of course they are worried.
(It's a worry all college students share.)
(They have fear of finding a job and future in general.)
Take the microphone.
Is she in such bad shape that the family is worried?
Ever since she was young, she suffered...
from small and big illnesses.
She had a stomach ulcer at the age of 13...
and got hospitalized for a month.
Three years ago, her thyroid became weak.
When you have hyperthyroidism, you become tired.
- You become very tired. - As you can see,
she keeps an incredibly busy schedule.
She has hand tremors, shortness of breath,
- and chest pain. - Is it that bad?
Yes. She suddenly collapses on the street.
(She suddenly collapses on the street.)
She collapses on the street and goes,
"I am tired."
(She endures pain to work.)
I took medicines for three years. I was getting better,
but I became so busy when the new semester began...
- that my condition worsened. - You became tired.
I had my period for three weeks.
- What? - It was really taxing.
- How long did it last? - Three weeks.
Since I have hyperthyroidism,
- the doctor told me... - Then you should rest.
The doctor told me that I should receive treatments now...
since there is a high chance...
of miscarriage or birth defects if I get pregnant.
Why didn't you receive treatments?
I am really busy.
I am really busy. Radioactive therapy is expensive...
and I haven't saved up enough yet.
You still need to get treatments.
(You shouldn't delay getting treatments.)
Focus on getting treatments, not getting a job.
- You need to get treatments. - I know.
What do you want to do when you have a lot of money?
What do you want to do?
I hate coming back to an empty room.
I want to buy a house.
My grandparents are in their 80s, but they still work.
I want them to stop working. I want to bring them to Seoul...
- so that we can live together. - She's so nice.
Are you living diligently to get a place in Seoul?
- Yes, I need a place in Seoul. - In Seoul.
When do you feel bad for your sister?
One day after work, she told me that she feels sick.
She was throwing up when her airway got obstructed.
She couldn't breathe.
I was so scared that I tried to call 911,
but she said calling an ambulance will cost money.
She told me not to do it.
(It will cost money.)
One time, she slipped on ice.
- She got a concussion. - My goodness.
Thankfully, Ga Yeon was with her.
She refused to call an ambulance...
because it costs money.
She couldn't get up because she was in so much pain.
"It's okay. I can take a taxi. Hold on, Ga Yeon." She said that.
On an icy road, she spent 20 minutes lying down.
She stayed there for a while.
Not going to a hospital in order to save money...
can be disastrous.
The moment I fell,
I remembered that it takes 200 or 300 dollars...
- to get a CT scan. - At the emergency room, right?
"Where will I get those 200 or 300 dollars?"
I figured I might feel better after I get some rest.
That's why I told Ga Yeon to wait.
- I tried to get up, - You couldn't do it.
but it felt like someone was pushing down on my head.
That's when I asked her to call an ambulance.
(A delay could have led to a disastrous result.)
Did you pay 300 dollars to get a CT scan?
The college insurance covered it...
- since I got hurt on campus. - For goodness' sake.
What will you do if you get ill after you buy a house...
with your hard-earned money?
If that happens...
What will you do?
I guess Mom will be sad.
That's right.
Your sister feels responsible for the entire family.
Twin sisters usually grow up like friends.
However, my sister has always had a sense of responsibility.
That's why I can only see this as my older sister.
"This"? You can only see that as your older sister.
(Her inner thoughts came out.)
Her inner thoughts came out.
How ironic!
As for me, rest comes first.
I am not working towards a goal.
My sister is so worried about me that she nags all the time.
It's no joke.
Does she nag at her mom as well?
Yes, she does.
One time, she lent 100 dollars to Mom.
Mom didn't have a coat,
so she spent 100 dollars to buy a coat.
"Why did you spend that money to buy a coat?"
She became furious.
Hearing her words made Mom upset...
and sad.
That's not true. She got the story wrong.
Mom asked me to lend her 100 dollars to pay for auto tax.
The coat was 200 dollars, not 100 dollars.
She bought a 200-dollar coat on her credit.
I tried to be understanding,
but I really wanted a black long padded jacket.
I became so upset...
when she bought her coat with 200 dollars.
Do your classmates have...
long padded jackets?
Ask the audience. I bet everyone has one.
Raise your hand if you have a black long padded jacket.
- Everyone has one. - Everyone has one.
Everyone has one.
A lot of people have it.
In front of a school,
I saw students walk towards me. All of them wore black jackets.
They looked like gimbap.
I am serious. They looked like gimbap.
Gimbap.
Winter has passed,
but I will send you one if you give me your address.
(I will send you a black long padded jacket.)
- I will send you a black one... - Really?
as well as a white one.
She is the type of people I like.
She's got a positive mindset.
There's an idiom, "lock the barn door after the horse has bolted".
Once you lose health, it's hard to get it back.
I will kneel down and ask you.
I hope you will take care of your health...
and go to the hospital.
San E, that's why you should be good.
Don't be bad.
(He gets the blame.)
If you were to spend a day just for yourself,
what do you want to do?
I wanted to take a year off school...
and go on a trip abroad to either Mongolia or Egypt.
But I thought that would be too selfish of me.
So I've changed my mind.
I am going to take three months off instead.
My grandparents live in Iksan, North Jeolla Province.
I want to go there and rest.
That's a good plan. You should do that.
Why don't you quit a few jobs?
I am searching for the job I will be happy doing...
for the rest of my life.
So it's hard to give up...
the things I do.
She's ambitious.
It's nice that you are ambitious...
for your life. But when you're sick,
you need to compromise.
You need to learn that.
Don't say you don't need to see a doctor when you're ill.
When you are suffering from a stroke,
you can't debate whether you'll call an ambulance or a taxi.
- It's ridiculous. - Don't do that.
You are just 23 years old.
I hope you will work less and do the things...
you love doing.
Promise me to lessen work.
She should lessen work.
Seung Hwan, you go first.
She talked so well that...
I couldn't say anything.
But the fact that her family...
worries about her to the point of crying...
makes this a worry.
(Seung Hwan thinks it's a worry.)
Hyun Min.
I thought it was good...
that I was working hard.
But seeing her changed my mind.
I think she can still improve while taking care of her health.
There was a time in my life when I pushed myself...
to the extreme degree for a long time.
And one day,
I collapsed.
I unconsciously collapsed in the kitchen,
and I hit my head really hard on the floor.
I could've...
- You could've been in big trouble. - Yes.
Once you lose health,
all your efforts will be...
- meaningless. - You will lose everything.
So I hope you will take care of yourself.
You only get to be young once.
So I hope you will make...
a lot of precious memories.
I think it's a worry.
It must've really worried her. There was nothing she could do.
If you sympathize with her, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Stop. - Stop.
Please say something to your friends and family...
who love you.
I will try to...
take care of my health, but I don't know what to let go.
She's such a positive person.
Thank you for being sincerely worried about me.
I hope you will be healthy too.
Thank you.

She got 127.
You should wisely...
- adjust your schedule. - Okay.
I have one more thing to add.
Hearing the sound of buttons clicking made me feel bad.
She's been working very hard.
And we made her feel as if she did something wrong.
I want to tell her that she's been doing a good job.
Thank you.
(We hope she will live as a healthy young woman.)

This is from a college freshman.
He worked hard to get into college,
but now he's thinking whether or not he should quit it.
It's titled, "Should I Give up on My Dream?"
Hello, I am a college freshman Kim Hae Song.
With my tall height of 194cm,
I got a place in the modeling and acting program.
"Hae Song, give it a go."
"Fix your eyes. Walk straight. Try it again."
The flow of the class gets disturbed because of me.
Actually, I have graduated from a science high school.
And he got into a college to be a model?
I'm used to solving science and math problems,
and this is a completely new world to me.
Everyone is tall and beautiful.
And they party well too.
I try hard to be as cool as the others.
"You are so boring."
"You look like a nerd."
At science high school,
I used to be popular, and people found me funny.
Have I chosen a wrong path?
Please help me.
What do you think?
If he's from science high school...
(Just hearing about it makes him uncomfortable.)
- Are they extreme ends? - I have never seen...
a smart model.
So models are not supposed to be smart.
- Should he give up then? - I have never seen a smart one.
It's not that he can't do it. I am just really fascinated.
I have never seen such a case.
- Did you do bad in school too? - Of course I did.
(Isn't it obvious?)
At grade two,
I stopped studying.
Did you?
Let's bring in the guest. Please come on out.
(Who is the nerdy model who can't get along with his model friends?)
(Kim Hae Song)
(He's 194cm tall.)
- He is really tall. - Please take off your shoes.
He is very tall.
- You're 189cm tall. - Yes, I am 189cm tall.
- You can sit here. - He looks taller.
He is taller.
You miscalculated it.
- You miscalculated it. - Right.
Please greet everyone.
Hello. I am Kim Hae Song. I am a freshman at...
Seokyeong University, modeling and acting major.
By the way,
why did you choose to major in modeling?
Actually, I entered science high school...
because I was good at math and science.
I am sure.
That's such an obvious thing to say.
You don't go to science high school if you play sports well.
So that's how I got into that high school.
What's really cool is...
that he looks like both a model and a nerd.
Right.
Right?
When he talks, he sounds a bit like a scientist.
Go on.
I wasn't sure if I really wanted to do math and science.
- I was worried about that. - You were good at it.
I wasn't very good at it either.
Have you been tall since you were young?
Yes. When I was in sixth grade,
I was about 180cm tall.
When you were in sixth grade?
Did you decide to become a model because of your height?
No, it's not like that.
When I was young,
I admired people...
who appeared in front of the public.
You got into the program you want.
Everything is hard at the beginning phase.
If you work hard, wouldn't everything be okay?
Right.
But when I first got into school...
I might be exaggerating it.
You know how Harry Potter was when he entered Hogwarts, right?
I was like Harry.
(He finally got into the school.)
(Is this the modeling school?)
I was really nervous and excited.
- That's how I felt. - Right. So?
So...
You would be nervous and excited.
Everyone feels that way.
Wouldn't you get better in time?
Some people from my class...
already signed a contract...
with a modeling agency.
The toughest thing is this.
When you attend a class or get trained...
with your classmates...
and the class gets interrupted because of you...
- That's really bad. - He's already mentioned it.
- Right? - Precisely.
(That's precisely it.)
(This is why people praise Dong Yeob.)
(Did he just compliment me?)
- It's... - Aren't you into rapping at all?
He moves like one.
Can you give an example of the time when you...
became a nuisance...
to your classmates?
For example, I would walk faster than the people next to me.
I can't walk slowly.
That's one.
- You can't control the pace. - Right.
You do that because you are nervous.
You can just learn it though.
- Why are you worried? - How is that a worry?
But it would be fine...
if it happens only during classes.
It's... You really have to listen to this.
My friends...
(They've been listening for 30 minutes.)
- We've been listening. - We will pay more attention.
I will pay my utmost attention.
- Friends... - Right.
- talk, you know? - Right.
They talk about the modeling world, and it's a whole new world.
They were talking about a friend who didn't come to class.
Someone said, "You know what?"
"He couldn't come to class because he's auditioning for Fashion Week."
Then another person said, "Really?"
"I cancelled my commercial shoot to attend this class."
- That's what they talk about. - Is that right?
That's right.
Aren't your classmates...
really talented and outgoing?
They are of course.
The other day,
we went to Hongdae together.
As soon as street performers played music,
my classmates started dancing...
to the music.
- Did they have a battle? - It was like a dance battle.
- My goodness. - My gosh.
You must've been really surprised.
I was shocked.
- "How can they do that?" - Yes.
"This cannot be proven scientifically."
(It can't be proven scientifically.)
The closest thing I did to that...
was going to a coin karaoke with my friends in high school.
(Singing at a coin karaoke was as wild as he got.)
- I... - He's cute.
He's really cute.
Why can't you go to a club?
- I... - You can just go.
He can't go clubbing.
It's so frustrating to listen to him.
I don't smoke.
And I can't drink well. You need to smoke and drink at clubs.
- What's wrong with clubs? - Clubs?
- What's wrong with clubs? - What's wrong with it?
I think coin karaoke is worse.
Do you have a girlfriend?
You have one. Is it a crush?
He has one.
What does that smile mean?
- Do you have a girlfriend? - She must be here.
I don't have one.
- You don't? - Do you have a crush?
- What was that? - Do you have a crush?
- I thought he had one. - It was obvious...
I thought he had more than one and got worried about it.
He looked like someone who has a girlfriend.
Excuse me. Can I have a sip of water?
- Sure. - I am sorry.
- Why are you nervous? - He got...
flustered when we asked him if he has a girlfriend.
Why were you flustered?
Actually...
- Do you have a crush? - I...
You have a crush.
I don't have a crush on a fellow student.
- There is... - Is there a girl you like?
a celebrity I like here.
(He is Hani's fan.)
- He likes you. - He likes Hani.
(Is he serious?)
You got nervous because a celebrity you like is present.
I can't talk to people from science high school.
Does that make sense?
Who are your classmates? How are they?
They are models. They are tall and handsome.
- So are you. - You are a model too.
- But I... - Why are you so daunted?
What's the reason?
Until I graduated high school,
I was considered the funny one.
I was the wild one.
- In science high school. - I was like a comedian.
- Were you a comedian? - Were you?
A comedian from a science high school...
can't be compared to a comedian from a modeling school.
How did you usually make people laugh?
I made science jokes.
You made science jokes.
- Science jokes? - His friends don't understand it.
- You made science jokes? - Can you give an example?
Are your classmates uncomfortable with you?
Yes. Especially...
the female students.
"The female students".
- That's a strange way to say it. - He called them "female students".
- Are you doing a campaign? - No.
They call me Mr. Hae Song.
- What is that? - Your name is Hae Song.
- My name is Hae Song. - Why "Mr. Hae Song"?
They don't feel comfortable calling me by my name.
- How about "Mr. Kim"? - "Mr. Kim" is too formal.
So it became "Mr. Hae Song".
- Mr. Hae Song. - Mr. Hae Song.
If they're short-tongued, it might sound like this.
(Mr. Hae Song)
- Isn't it possible? - It's possible.
- Mr. Hae Song. - Who would...
- Mr. Hae Song. - Mr. Hae Song.
I am curious to see how his classmates are.
- Where are they? - How cool are they?
Where are you?
You should all get up.
- Why don't you make a wave? - Yes. Let's do that. Start.
- Let's start from this side. - Let's hurry.
(He becomes speechless.)
Great.
(They're so far from him.)
- Why don't you try it? - Be wild.
- I will give it a try. - Walk forward and pose.
Go, Mr. Hae Song.
- Go, Mr. Hae Song. - Go, Mr. Hae Song.
Go, Hae Song.
Come on.
(He's a former comedian from science high school.)
(Currently, he is a future model.)
(How will he do it?)
All right.
(Is he scratching his back?)
(Mr. Hae Song's first pose was very difficult to understand.)
- Mr. Hae Song. - Have a seat.
Hello. Welcome.
(Who called him Mr. Hae Song?)
Who calls him "Mr. Hae Song"?
Everyone else calls him by his name.
But it feels awkward...
for me to call him by his name.
Why is that?
He seems too up-tight.
So I call him "Mr. Hae Song". It's like a nickname.
- Call him. - Mr. Hae Song.
My goodness.
Did you know he was worried about this?
Film students once shot photos for us.
In your profile, you had to write your talent and hobby.
I wrote "watching TV", and she wrote "reading".
Hae Song wrote "Organic chemistry number theory".
(Organic chemistry number theory)
- What is that? - Organic chemistry number theory?
- I had never heard of it. - You can't remember it clearly.
I can't even remember it well.
It was something like "Organic chemistry number theory".
Did you really write that under "hobby and talent" section?
- Yes. - Were you trying to be funny?
I was trying to be funny, but it's true too.
- Is it a subject you like? - Yes.
It's a subject I studied in high school,
and it's my favorite subject.
When you were writing it down,
were you giggling?
He must have.
You giggled a little, didn't you?
He was trying...
to be funny.
Did any of you laugh at it?
- Nobody. Right. - Nobody.
(He failed to be funny.)
It's hard to tease him.
One time, we were ordering jjajangmyeon,
and he wanted a large size.
While ordering it,
- I forgot to tell them the size. - So you ordered a regular size.
Yes. I ordered a regular size.
I told him I forgot to order a large size,
and I joked that he should get some from someone who eats less.
When I said that, he put on a straight face...
and said, "This is unbelievable." And he left the room.
Really?
(That's unbelievable.)
He's funny.
I was so shocked.
So I called the restaurant again and fixed the order.
So everything went well.
Did you really leave the room because she made a mistake?
Did you say, "This is unbelievable!"
"How dare you order a regular size?"
And leave the room?
It wasn't that bad.
- But you left the room. - And you put on a straight face.
- It wasn't like I was upset. - Then?
I was trying to be funny.
- How did you say it? - Can you show us?
I am sorry. I forgot to order the large size.
Are you kidding me?
(He looks very upset.)
He's scary.
- You're clearly upset. - How is that funny?
It's...
After saying "Are you kidding me?", you could laugh.
But instead, you left the room.
After he left the room, he laughed alone.
What is that?
He must've laughed his heart out.
- Right. - Why...
did you do that?
That's the kind of joke you make to your close friends, you know?
Really?
(Where did you learn that?)
I've been a comedian for a long time, but I didn't know that.
What kind of a person are you really?
I think I am funny. In high school...
Please stop calling yourself funny.
(That felt good.)
It's other people's call.
Perhaps you told them that you went to science high school?
No. At first, I didn't tell them...
because they might get prejudiced.
- You didn't tell them. - You thought really hard about it.
Have you tried to make things better?
We had a talent show one time.
I sang Psy's "Entertainers".
- And? - And my classmates...
- Did they like it? - saw the new side of me.
- They saw the new side of you. - They loved it.
They loved it.
Did you hear them say it?
- No, I didn't. - That's how he felt.
(I just felt it.)
Did you feel it?
You saw them, and you could see how much they loved it.
Right?
- They were loving it. - Why don't you show us?
- Stand up. - Stand up.
It's Mr. Hae Song!
Mr. Hae Song!
("Entertainers" by Psy)
Let's go!
("Entertainers" by Psy)
(He sounds like he's memorizing quadratic formula.)
(I refuse to see it.)
(Erotic)
(He couldn't miss out the acting part.)
(The shoot starts now)
(He looked like a producer.)
(I will become your entertainer)
You have to dance too.
Dance.
(I will be your celebrity)
Dance more.
(You said you don't like going to a club.)
(He concentrates on his task.)
Look at her.
(Hae Song's point of view)
(He ignores her.)
(That was natural.)
Have a seat.
- I love it. - I love it.
(I can never get used to that.)
Did you perform like this at the time?
That was crazy.
I did much better of course.
He says he did much better then. Did he?
- But... - When did he do better?
Did you watch him well?
I've been watching him.
I think he's very confident.
How can you say to Hani that you'll be her celebrity?
(I will be your celebrity.)
(But I am a celebrity.)
He's very brave.
He's so original.
If you work hard,
you can get better at walking.
What do you guys think?
How we are on stage is very important to us.
So we always look into the mirror...
and practice our facial expressions, and we try to stay in shape.
But Hae Song always sits in the front when we have a lecture...
and have a staring match with the professor.
He takes it very seriously.
He takes lessons more seriously.
When I look at him,
he looks old-fashioned.
He always tucks his shirt into wide pants.
He always wears those round glasses.
He reminds me of my dad.
What about today?
I heard he dressed up today.
I heard he paid 50 dollars for that last night.
He bragged it to me.
(That's not bad.)
Do you get any advice on fashion?
I ask my friend from middle school.
- What does he do? - Middle school friend?
- From science high school? - No, from middle school.
- What does he do? - He majors in fashion.
(He gets advice from a friend who studies fashion design.)
His friends from middle school are here too.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Hi.
(Let's meet his schoolmates.)
How was he in middle school?
He said he was very funny.
As you have seen,
he's boring.
It was his opinion.
For example,
one day I asked him what my strength is,
and he said,
"You're like a six pence coin."
- Six pence coin? - Six pence?
- That's hard. - What does that mean?
What's that?
There's a novel, "The Moon and Six pence".
It only works if you read that novel.
It doesn't work if you don't know.
Then when he left because of large size jjajangmyeon,
how is that supposed to be funny?
I've never heard of such joke before.
You don't know either?
(I've never heard of it before.)
How about the guy next to you?
(Staring)
What do you think?
Middle school friend.
Did you meet him in middle school?
- No, we met in high school. - Oh, high school.
- Science high school? - Yes.
What do you think of him?
I lived with him in the dorm for three years.
He was my roommate.
It was fun.
It sounds okay.
(A backup is here.)
- I knew it. - He's funny in science high school.
- He understands. - He's funny in science high school.
He was really funny.
Has he ever told you about his worries?
When he first went to the university, he said this.
He said he's going to be a supermodel.
And that I should get his autograph now.
He's not going to do it when he becomes famous.
That's what he told me.
Lately, he said people in his major...
are all handsome and nice...
that he looks ugly relatively.
He tells us that people in his major...
are very handsome and tall.
But he's the tallest.
194cm is considered very tall even among models.
Personally, he's the funniest.
He's really funny.
He doesn't need to feel inferior,
but he's really concerned about what he wears.
One day, he said he's meeting up with other people in his major.
He was worried about what to wear.
I told him to wear basic items.
After a while, he said he would wear jeans,
a pink shirt,
and a beige color jacket.
I thought he was joking.
I said, "That sounds cool."
Is that what you said?
He thought it was a joke and played with him.
(He really wore that to the meeting.)
There are pictures he sent to his friend to pick clothes for him.
We have a few. Let's see.
Show us.
- What's that? - What's that?
"It might be cold. I have this scarf."
"I borrowed it from my grandma."
Is that a scarf?
- "What do you think?" - "What do you think?"
(What do you think?)
My goodness.
He borrowed it from his grandma.
"I tied it,"
- "but it's still long." - It's long.
Your friend is so kind.
Are there more?
"Women said pink looks good on me."
(That's cute.)
I'm curious when you decided to become a model...
after studying in science high school,
how was your parents' reaction...
about your dream?
They might have been against it.
- Right. - Were they shocked?
Let's meet his parents.
Are his parents here?
- They're in the back. - Hello. Where are you?
Nice to meet you.
Sir. Ma'am.
Were you flustered when he said he's going to major in modeling...
after graduating science high school?
- We were very shocked. - Right.
Actually he didn't prepare much for it.
During three years of middle school,
he dreamed of becoming a chemist.
For his dream, I picked him up from the academy...
that was far from my house...
- at 2am for 3 years. - Oh my.
- I know. - You had a hard time.
Three years.
He finally made it to Science Academy.
A month or two after he entered Science Academy,
he said he wants to quit.
We had conflicts because of it. We had arguments.
Now, we just trust him and support him.
How about you, ma'am?
When he said he got in,
I thought it was a system error.
Your son is very boring.
"Very boring."
Was your husband funny when you were in relationship?
In your opinion, ma'am.
(Flinching)
He was funny and handsome.
(He was funny and handsome.)
That's how they got married.
(Hyper)
Are you his professor?
Hello. I'm Professor Kim Tae Yeon. Nice to meet you.
In your opinion,
what kind of student is he?
I thought he was prepared to be a model,
and he's very interested in becoming a model.
Actually I have hope in him.
- Really? - Yes.
How did you begin, Hyun Min?
- At first... - He went through a lot.
I didn't do well at first.
I didn't know anything.
I wanted to do it since I was in grade 8.
I even got schemed because I didn't know anything.
Since I'm different, it was hard to get...
- an opportunity. - Give him some advice.
Can you show me your walking?
- Right. - Me?
Let's watch him.
- He'll give you advice after that. - That's cool.
(How is the walk of a science high school graduate model aspirant?)
- You should stand up too, Hyun Min. - Music, please.
Otherwise, he'll be embarrassed.
His parents are here too.
- He's tall. - He's tall.
(And?)
(Was it a right choice?)
Music please.
- Make it as cool as you can. - Walk.
Music please.
- Make it as cool as you can. - Walk.
(I'm a model. I'm a model.)
That's cute.
- He's good. - Wait.
That's funny.
That's not good enough to show anyone.
I don't know anything about walking,
but how could he...
(Wagging)
It was so cute.
Come here. Yes. Here.
How long have you been learning?
I only had one lesson.
He only had one lesson.
- I see. - He's a new student.
- He still has future. - Let's see the pro's walking.
Music, please.
18-year-old Hyun Min.
(18-year-old model, Hyun Min's walking)
(Catchy)
Do it one more time. It was too short.
He looks different.
- Something's different. - That's hot.
What do you think...
- It's... - is the difference?
- How is he different from you? - Did you see his face?
Well...
- Everything's different. - Can't you tell?
(If I knew, I wouldn't walk like this.)
Give him a word of advice.
- What do you think is wrong? - To him.
Don't try to walk like a model.
He should walk naturally with confidence.
- Naturally. - With confidence.
- Right. Let's try it again. - I...
Let's try it again.
With confidence.
Let's change these glasses first.
This is so science high school.
- Put these on instead. - Relax.
- Relax. - Be confident.
With confidence.
- Relax and walk. - Just walk.
Walk like you're walking down the street.
You're the best.
- Music please. - One second.
(They look pretty good on him.)
Let's do something.
Let's do our best.
Get your hair done.
(Amazed)
(Amazing)
- Good. - That's good.
- He looks different. - That's great.
- Music please. - Go slanted.
Go slanted.
Go.
(The young model is on the move.)
Go.
(Fall in love with me, everyone.)
What did you think of your son? Isn't he hot?
Yes.
He's very hot.
- He's very hot. - I know, right?
You talked about your worry in front of many people.
You got advice. How was it?
I think I've been looking for my problem...
in outer appearance.
- Right. - The problem was...
- inside me. - Yes.
The biggest problem lies inside you.
You can always improve your model walking...
by taking lessons,
but you'll never make anyone laugh.
How about you give him a word of support as his friends?
When your closet is empty, the first thing you do is buying basic items.
- He's cute. - He's a real friend.
It's time for you to stop relying on me.
He's a real friend.
I trust you.
(I have faith in you, buddy.)
Okay.
Do you have any last words?
From now on, I won't be shy anymore.
I'll be confident since I'm a model.
I hope we get along well with each other from now on.
All right.
Let's start with Tony.
Do you think it's a worry?
- He thinks it's a worry. - Right.
I believe that what worries him is something none of us all...
- can avoid. - That's right.
We all compare ourselves to other people...
and wonder why we lack what others have.
I also think it's a worry.
Also, I have the same worry right now.
Our guest is staring at Hani so intensely.
He stared both at Hani and Jeong Hwa intensely.
When Tony was talking, he didn't look at Tony,
but once Hani started talking, he turned his head around.
That's right.
I also think it's a worry.
I also think it's a worry. I think it's a constructive one.
I think it's definitely a worry.
I really think he can...
I have a feeling that I could see him at a fashion show.
That would be great.
I hope so.
I think it's a worry.
However, I want to applaud him...
for boldly challenging himself for this,
and for having the courage to share his worry...
with this many people.
- He's also a good dancer. - That's right.
- I believe he'll succeed. - He will.
It's a worry that everyone has at his age.
If you think it's a worry, please push the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Time's up. - Stop.
- Stop. - You two must be worried about him.
Please say a word to your son.
Hae Song, I'm always proud of you.
I hope you will come back on this show in the future...
and say your first appearance on TV was on Hello.
I hope that day will come eventually.
- You can do it. - That's great.
Today's winner will receive 2,000 dollars of scholarship...
in addition to the cash prize that we give the winner every week.
I wonder how many votes he got. Please show us the result.
(The result)
Let's see.
How many audience members could have voted?
Who will receive the chancellor scholarship?
(What could be the result?)
122? It's 132.
(He got 132 votes.)
As a result, "A Complicated Problem about Women" is this week's winner.
The winner will receive a cash prize...
and 2,000 dollars of chancellor scholarship.
- Thank you. - Thank you, everyone.
Thank you.
Consider wearing weaker prescription glasses.
- Okay. - You're only a freshman now.
You'll eventually learn everything and get used to it.
- I think you'll succeed. - I think he'll succeed.
- Right. - I really think he'll succeed.
(Sometimes you feel uneasy...)
(and feel like you're the only distressed person in the world,)
(but you're only young once.)
(All the young people in Korea, cheer up!)
