(National Competition on Worries)
The members of a lovely girl group are here.
Tzuyu, Sana, and Jeong Yeon of Twice!
(Tzuyu, Sana, and Jeong Yeon of Twice)
They're so pretty.
- Entertainer Lee Ji Ae. - Welcome.
(Entertainer Lee Ji Ae)
EXO of home shopping channels, Lee Min Woung.
(Lee Min Woung)
My goodness.
(Excited)
Ji Ae hasn't appeared on KBS' show for a while. How do you feel?
- There's no place like home, right? - That's right.
Also, this studio has similar atmosphere...
to my house.
(The studio has similar atmosphere to my house.)
Did you decorate your house like this?
(Did you decorate your house like this?)
Maybe because Ji Ae was coming on the show,
- our studio was redecorated. - That's right.
- It changed right this week. - Right.
The TV station changed a lot, right?
Yes. I saw a new cafeteria as well.
That's because of me.
My gosh. They're just amazing.
A pretty girl next to another pretty girl next to another one.
(Three pretty girls)
The three of you are the prettiest members of Twice, right?
- The prettiest members? - All three of you.
That's right.
You don't sound confident.
(Whatever. I don't know.)
- You don't sound confident. - Jeong Yeon, are you sure?
(They're really pretty.)
Do you not like any part of your body,
by any chance?
My hands aren't pretty.
- Your hands? - Why?
I have a lot of wrinkles on my hands.
- Gosh. - That's nothing.
Dong Yeob, you have a hang-up about your hands...
- because they're too big, right? - I...
Yes. My hands are... They're too...
- He has big hands. - Yes. They're too big.
- It's... - You can cover your face with it.
It's too big.
I have a big face, but small hands.
(I have a big face, but small hands.)
Dong Yeob has a really small face.
(The mismatch between their faces and hands)
This is hard to believe.
Let's exchange our hands.
My hands were so big even when I was a kid.
Put your hand down for a moment.
(It looks more natural this way.)
It's interesting.
Is today's theme "The Mystery of Human Body"?
("The Mystery of Human Body"?)
Every song of Twice became a big hit.
- Their songs are so popular. - Could you show us?
- Okay. - Okay.
Thank you.
(Their new song released just today will be revealed.)
("What Is Love?" by Twice)
(Bubbly)
(Twice's signature dance style is exciting and lovely.)
(They make men's hearts flutter.)
(They liven up the atmosphere.)
(Just like spring sunshine,)
(they look bright and pretty.)
(Tonight, love will come to you.)
(Twice is the best.)
They're so lovely as always.
Good job.
Some of you may not know, but Min Woung contributed a lot...
to the national economy by selling products on his home shopping shows.
You made tens of millions of dollars in sales, right?
The product I sold the most is kitchen furniture.
Like kitchen countertops.
Products like that can hit 4 million dollars...
in only one hour.
- That's incredible. - Yes.
It's hard even for us to pronounce every word correctly.
It must be harder for the members from foreign countries.
I heard every one of them has made a mistake.
- In the beginning. - Yes, we have.
Do you remember anything?
When I appeared on a TV show,
I was asked about how I felt after the show ended.
I meant to say it was fun,
but I said it was boring.
- "Boring"? - I said it was boring.
(Oh, my goodness.)
- I made a mistake. - "How was the show?"
"It was boring."
(At the end of the show, "A Look at Myself")
It was very boring.
- "Boring"? - It was very boring.
- Wait. - She said it was boring.
(What should I do?)
They burst out laughing.
We'll also ask you at the end...
how you feel.
Today, we have three stories as always.
I wonder what they could be. Show us the keywords please.
- "My Miserable Life". - "Don't Stop Me".
"Help Me Stop Him from Making the Noise".
This is a story of a girl who is about to develop a scary disease.
The title is "Don't Stop Me".
Hello. I'm in 7th grade, and I'm afraid of 8th grade syndrome.
Why? It's because I think I'm going to go astray a year later.
- She's worried already. - It's all because of my mom.
When I was in fourth grade, I said, "Mom, I have a dream now."
"What is it?" "I'll be a singer-songwriter."
- That's great. - "Don't even dream of it."
"Give up. You have no talent. You should be a comedienne."
(You should become a comedienne.)
- It's hard to become one. - "There's no singer..."
"who has no talent and is fat like you."
Should every fat girl become a comedienne?
I tried so hard and passed the first round of an audition.
"Mom, I need you to sign the consent form. Will you do that for me?"
"If you can pass the audition, everyone could pass it."
I couldn't go for the second round and cried for three days in a row.
Please change my mom's mind.
As an idol singer, how do you feel about this story?
- It's great that she has a dream. - But her mom is stopping her.
Didn't your parents oppose you?
My parents fully supported my dream.
How old were you when you started the training?
I was in seventh grade.
- You started it at our guest's age. - Yes.
Her mother must be worried if she might miss other important things...
while pursuing her dream and fail...
- in doing both. - It's understandable.
But you realize you're not cut out for it and give up...
- only when you've experienced it. - She should make her own choice.
If you give up because someone else stopped you,
- you become regretful later. - That's right.
I changed my career.
What was your profession before?
I used to be a fashion designer. I designed men's clothes.
- That's why you dress nicely. - Right.
I thought you were dressed overly well though.
- The tiger stands out too much. - Exactly.
Let's meet our guest now.
Please come out.
(Who is worried because her mom is against her dream?)
There's a door over there.
(Heo Hye Young)
Hello.
Hello. I'm Heo Hye Young, and I'm in seventh grade.
- Welcome. - It's nice to meet you.
- Hye Young. - So you're...
about to get eighth grade syndrome because of your mom, right?
Yes. Since I'm going through puberty,
if I get eighth grade syndrome as well,
I think I could end up in really big trouble.
My mom is against my dream...
- Your mom is trying to stop you. - Are you nervous?
- Would you like some water? - Why can't she understand...
- Relax. - how a seventh grader must feel?
Tzuyu.
- Give her advice. - However,
I haven't appeared on a TV show for a while,
- so I'm very nervous as well. - Are you?
She's also nervous.
She's...
Is your dream to become a singer-songwriter?
When I was in fourth grade, I came to know Akdong Musician...
- for the first time. - Akdong Musician.
They play the guitar, compose songs,
and write lyrics. The fact that the songs they make...
can comfort people in distress...
fascinated me, so I'm dreaming of becoming a singer-songwriter.
Is your mom still against your dream?
For over two years, I wrote letters, talked to her over the phone,
- and discussed with her. - You mean, your mom?
Yes. But she said I would never become successful.
- Why? - Why did she say that?
Does she oppose it without a reason?
When you watch any audition TV show,
- the judges give criticism. - Yes.
My mom said all of their criticisms apply to me.
She said I should become a comedienne instead.
(You should become a comedienne.)
It's not easy to become a comedian.
- Exactly. - It's really difficult.
Has your mom ever seen you sing?
- How talented you are... - She saw me sing a little.
I don't think I'm poor at singing.
- You said you passed an audition. - Yes.
- For what? - "K-Pop Star".
- "K-Pop Star"? - Really?
- Did you pass the first round? - Yes.
- That means she has... - It's amazing.
basic skills. Only contestants with basic skills...
- can pass the first round. - That's right.
- What about the second round? - I needed parental consent,
but my mom didn't sign the consent form to the end.
- So I couldn't go for the round. - Oh, no.
You could've passed the second round if she had signed the form.
So I cried for three days in a row.
Haven't you tried to convince your mom more strongly?
I did try it, but she always ends up telling me to study hard.
She said that's the only way to live comfortably.
Why did she force her way into Hye Young's life?
You're not here because you don't want to study, right?
- That's right. I get good grades. - Right?
(I get good grades.)
- Do you? - That's why her mom has...
- high expectations. - How about you get low grades?
Your mom could give up.
Why would you say such a thing to a child?
At every school exam,
I got the highest grade in most of the subjects.
And in high school...
I mean, in middle school.
You're so funny.
- She can make a good comedienne. - Right.
Let's hear her mom out.
Hello. Welcome.
- Hello. - Welcome.
You've been laughing since Hye Young came out.
Do you understand why she's worried?
I still don't understand her.
- Why not? - Why can't you understand her?
Not everyone can become a singer.
You can't achieve it only by making efforts.
Look at those idol singers. They're so pretty.
You should be pretty enough to become a singer,
but take a look at Hye Young.
Her face is...
- Why would you say that? - She's your...
(Her face isn't pretty enough to be a celebrity.)
She's your own daughter.
Personally, I envy you...
because your daughter has found her dream at her age.
- I envy you so much. - Me too.
But you're getting in her way.
You need to be talented and good at playing musical instruments.
But she's not talented.
She's not talented.
(That's too harsh.)
She's not talented.
- But... - When she's at home,
she dances to the music while talking to me...
about her dream.
She looks so funny when she does that.
That's why I told her to become a comedienne instead.
It seems to me you've already concluded...
that she's not talented.
That's right. She told you about the audition for "K-Pop Star".
She's really not talented.
All the judges' criticisms apply to her.
- That's why... - She didn't even get a chance.
- You didn't sign the form. - I mean...
- Let me explain. - That's because...
If she had gone to the second round of the audition...
Seoul is far from our house.
If she had failed,
as Min Woung said before, she would've given up by herself.
However, she's upset because you didn't even give her a chance.
She tried to convince you by writing letters and everything.
I knew that she's not talented,
and she would fail once she sings in front of the judges.
If that had happened to her,
- She might've felt defeated. - she could've been...
caught up in inferior complex.
She's doing it for fun now, but I'm afraid she might get hurt.
- That's not true. - No.
- You're wrong. - She should try it.
- Ma'am, Hye Young is... - As her mom,
how could I watch her getting hurt?
- I don't agree with you. - That's just an excuse.
- Ma'am. - Then...
you didn't allow her to go to the audition...
because Seoul is too far from your house,
and you don't think she would pass the audition.
But you ended up coming to Seoul.
In the end, she came to Seoul.
I know. I ended up coming to Seoul while stopping her.
Ma'am, let me ask you something.
Don't you think that you hurt her feelings...
more than the audition failure might have?
- You're her mom. - She should know her weakness.
- You're only thinking that way. - You hurt our feelings too.
"You can't become a singer. Become a comedienne instead."
It hurt our feelings so much.
We saw you only for a short while, but everyone here knows...
that you're the one who hurts Hye Young's feelings the most.
When I count to three, point the person...
who you think hurts Hye Young's feelings the most.
Can't you stop doing things like that?
But it's fun.
- Ma'am, please listen. - It's fun.
My daughter is too young now, but...
Babies avoid touching something hot only when they know it's hot.
- That's right. - I let my baby touch it.
She realized it's hot, then she never touched it.
Until your child realizes...
the danger or unsuitability by herself,
why don't you wait and watch her? It would be...
- more helpful for your child. - That's right.
- I tried that to my son before. - What do you mean?
I used to stop him from touching something hot,
but I let him touch it so he can learn it's hot.
(Take this, Dad.)
He splashed water on me. It's a true story.
He actually splashed it on me.
He did it.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Also,
as a child grows up,
she experiences failure,
which hurts her feelings, but it doesn't scar her.
- That's right. - She learns from the experience.
She learns a lesson. However, you are...
hurting her feelings by saying harsh things.
You said, "Look at her. She can't be a singer."
I believe it's better if I hurt her feelings...
rather than someone else does.
You're wrong.
You're supposed to root for her.
Ma'am.
Ma'am, you're completely wrong.
- Gosh. - I mean,
what book says that?
"It's better for me to hurt my child's feelings than others do."
That's just ridiculous.
Do you wish your daughter to focus solely on her studies?
She locks the door of her room,
listens to music, and dances.
She does that every single day.
I'm worried she might get hooked too deeply.
It seems that she gets good grades.
It's not difficult to get good grades in elementary school.
It doesn't require much effort.
But it's different for middle school.
(Depressed)
Does your mom support you to do other things?
Other than music.
Rather than what I want to do,
she tends to support me more to do what she wants me to do.
I see.
It's not that I don't support her to do anything.
When she was in fourth grade,
she said she wanted to participate in a school speech contest.
So I send her to a speech class right that day.
She took the class for about a year.
She won an award at a regional contest three times.
(She swept the contests.)
I came in 2nd and 3rd.
- Go on. - Oh, no.
So what happened?
- Did she scold you for that? - Her mom...
She scolded you for coming in 2nd and 3rd?
I think there's pent-up resentment towards her mom inside of her.
- That's right. - While she's talking about it,
- her mom still doesn't believe her. - She must be upset.
- So... - Ma'am, she achieved good result.
Why did you scold her for coming in 2nd and 3rd?
- If she had done a little better, - Why should she be the winner?
she could've been the winner.
(She could've been the winner.)
You're just being greedy.
- Ma'am, the second place is great. - Of course.
You should've praised her for her achievement.
If you scold her for not winning,
she would want to stop trying even when she likes doing it.
You probably think that being a singer is not...
- a perfect job for your daughter. - That's right.
However, since she's...
trying her best to become a singer, she needs to experience failure...
- to give up and move on. - That's right.
If you keep stopping her,
she wouldn't admit what you believe, but blame everything on you,
and regret for the rest of her life.
It seems to me she's talented in public speaking.
But I really believe...
she can't be a good singer-songwriter.
She can't be a good singer-songwriter.
- Ma'am. - Her dance is so awkward.
Just as she took a speech class,
if she takes a singing class,
it will be helpful in her life...
even if she doesn't become a singer.
She's a poor dancer.
- Even so... - She's not talented.
- Ma'am... - Why do you keep laughing?
(Why does she keep laughing?)
You'll know why when you see her dancing.
I want to know why you keep laughing.
I keep thinking of her.
- If we see her dance... - How her singing voice sounds...
- The thought of it makes you laugh? - Yes, it's so funny.
Does she dance in a funny way?
She practically flounders.
Is that so?
Hye Young talked enthusiastically at first,
but as her mom started talking, she avoided looking at her mom...
and lowered her head. That means...
she's dispirited.
Do you feel intimidated whenever you see her?
And frustrated.
What else did she do to disappoint you?
When I was in fifth grade,
I was elected as the vice president of my class and school.
I'm also the vice president of my class now.
Since I was elected as a vice president again,
she said, "Why can't you become a school president..."
- Or a class president? - "or a class president?"
(Laughing)
- Instead of praising you? - Gosh.
She was even a school vice president.
How many students are in your class?
- Between 20 and 30, I guess. - In your class.
- 25. - 25?
Ma'am, what do you think the rest 23 students are?
What would you call them?
I was never a class president.
You shouldn't say such things to her.
However, I think there's something omitted from what she said...
because she couldn't say it.
She meant to say, "You're good enough to be the president."
If you say that more often, it wouldn't hurt her feelings.
I understand that you only hoped she would do better next time.
Since she was elected as a vice president all the time,
- So you... - I encouraged her to do better.
- However... - Ma'am, you're laughing now,
but your laugh is making Hye Young upset now.
That's right.
She could think, "Does she think I'm a joke?"
- That's possible. - To be honest,
I can understand how Hye Young's mom must feel now.
She's afraid her daughter might get hurt...
if she talks about it too seriously.
- That's right. - So she tries to talk jokingly...
- as if it's nothing serious. - That's right.
I understand how you feel,
but I don't believe the way you deal with this matter...
as a result of consideration for your daughter is right.
You see, sometimes,
- She should take it seriously. - you need a serious conversation.
She feels awkward.
You're right.
It's time for you to have a serious conversation with her.
You went through the same thing at her age.
Teenagers think that they're all grown up.
If you oppose her decision...
without a reason, she would only grow ill feelings against you.
Hye Young has gotten to an age where she can understand you...
only if you listen to her...
and take her opinions seriously.
Today, treat her as the same human being...
- Human being. - Human being...
Treat her as the same human being as you...
- while speaking to her. - Right.
- Okay. - She's not your youngest daughter.
- She's a human being just like you. - Okay.
What else are you upset about?
What makes me feel the most pressured...
is that she keeps asking me to run a business with her.
- Sorry? - To run a business with her.
- To you? - Who?
- What's that? - Your mom asked you that?
- Why on earth did she ask that? - Ma'am.
What kind of business?
She treats Hye Young as a human being when it comes to this matter.
(She treats Hye Young as her future business partner.)
She treats Hye Young like an adult.
- What kind of business? - She wants you to be her partner?
She sells cosmetic products as her second job.
When I was in fourth grade, she gave me a few hand creams...
and told me to try to sell them to my classmates.
So I took them...
- Did you sell them? - and sold them.
- Did you sell all of them? - Yes, I did.
- She's very clever. - She's incredible.
She said I should become a businesswoman after that.
She gave you hand creams, and you sold all of them?
- Yes. - How about you become a show host?
She's also good at public speaking.
She's clear about what she wants.
Did you suggest she should run her own business as a joke?
It was a joke, right?
I've been raising three children alone...
since Hye Young was four.
One job is not enough...
- to make ends meet. - You had your reasons.
So I have two jobs.
Hye Young told me,
"Mom, should I try selling these hand creams to my friends?"
- So I told her, - She was so little.
"Okay. Try it."
I gave her eight hand creams.
- And she really... - They sold out?
sold all eight of them.
Isn't that incredible?
(Why do I want to cry?)
Is that why...
- So... - you want her to do business?
- You want to do business with her? - Yes.
- Later, right? - Later.
- Not right now. - No.
Her older sister and older brother...
were professional taekwondo fighters.
Their careers were decided early on.
But Hye Young doesn't seem to...
- Nothing is decided. - I guess I'm being greedy.
She doesn't seem to be good at anything.
Your mom keeps saying that you have no talent for music.
What do you think about it?
If I keep learning and working hard,
even if it takes many years...
(I can become better.)
I can become better someday.
She brought some lyrics she wrote.
She wants to show us. Let's take a look.
- Is this it? - Yes.
It's her lyrics notebook.
(Although she's never received any music education,)
(she's been writing song lyrics every day.)
(What does she write about?)
"You are weak"
"Shadow, rap, unfinished".
"Even when you wear colorful clothes, your shadow is black"
"Even when you dress up, your shadow is black"
"Me in the shadow"
(Heavy rain watch)
I like that line. "Failure is the mother of success"
"But I haven't met her yet"
(Failure is the mother of success, but I haven't met her yet)
- That's nice. - That's nice.
Let's see one more.
It has a rhyme.
It does.
- "Never stop". - It must be a song.
Never stop
(I'll never give my song to him.)
- "You can do..." - Never stop
(Dong Yeob has been hosting "Immortal Songs" since 2012.)
I'm so relieved Dong Yeob became a comedian.
That's it.
You can do so many things
It seems like she writes about how she feels.
That's right.
"It's hard, but I'll do it." All songs talk about that.
- She talks about hope. - She cheers herself up.
"The world is dark and harsh"
"But I want to keep fighting"
Have you ever seen her lyrics before?
This is the first time.
- After seeing them, - I like them.
I feel like I should have listened to her more.
(I should have listened to my daughter.)
(Smiling)
It makes me feel that way.
She seems desperate.
I realized that.
Why haven't you shown them to your mom?
- Right. - I was scared.
Did you think she'd criticize them?
See?
There's not much communication, so she just assumed that...
her mom would criticize her lyrics.
I'm sure you're proud of your daughter,
and you want her to become successful.
Hye Young's mom is crying...
- after seeing her lyrics. - She's moved.
She realized how desperate her daughter is.
I think you should take your daughter's dream more seriously.
But it's important to know how good she actually is.
- Are we going to hear it? - Let's hear it.
- We should hear it. - Sounds good.
Okay.
She is going to sing a song...
by Bolbbalgan4.
- Sing without music. - Can you sing without music?
It doesn't have to be a song by Bolbbalgan4.
- Sing anything. - Anything you're comfortable with.
(Shaking)
- Be confident. - Don't be nervous.
- Why are you shaking? - Her hands are shaking.
Which song are you going to sing?
- "Some"? - You can sing just a part.
It doesn't have to be long.
- Sing just a part. - Sing just a line.
- Do you want to try to sing this? - What?
(The grandeur of Mount Inwang)
Try it.
(I'm the host of "Immortal Songs".)
That's a school song.
I wouldn't like to hear that.
- See? She can't sing. - But...
She has no experience. She can't audition.
Think about it. She's a seventh-grader.
How can she have experience?
You're asking too much...
- from her. - I...
- Let's hear it first... - Ma'am.
so we can judge.
Give your daughter come courage.
- You should be confident. - Come on.
Hye Young, Mom will be listening.
Be confident and sing.
(Mom will be listening. Be confident and sing.)
Be confident and sing.
It's my mom's favorite song.
It's a song by Lee Sun Hee.
- "Fate". - Lee Sun Hee.
- Lee Sun Hee. - "Fate" by Lee Sun Hee.
"Fate".
It's my favorite song.
Hye Young cares so much about her mom.
Sing together.
(Singing)
- You can sing just this part. - Go for it.
It is called
- Fate - Fate
- I cannot resist it - I cannot resist it
Will there be another beautiful day like this
(Her voice trembles.)
In my life
(She looks at her mom.)
In my life
Good job.
(She overcame the pressure.)
- Well done. - Isn't her voice nice?
It's nice, right?
There are many songs in this world,
and she sang her mom's favorite song.
That's so touching.
You're crying right now.
Regardless of how good she is, she was brave enough to come here.
Can't you support her a bit more?
She hesitated a lot, right?
It's because she knows...
she has no talent.
(She has no talent.)
But her lyrics seemed good.
- So... - Exactly.
I'm sorry to interrupt you.
Even if you decide to support her,
it doesn't mean that she will become a singer.
"You can't do it. You're not good enough."
We're just asking you to stop that.
I don't think I've ever...
tried to take her message seriously.
Exactly.
Why do you want to become a singer?
I've been lonely since I was little. I've been hurt a lot.
Mom favored my brother and sister over me.
- So... - For example?
- Was she nicer to them? - Yes.
My brother and sister hurt my eye with a chair...
by mistake while playing.
(Her eye was hurt.)
And?
Mom has never scolded them.
Is that true?
They were just playing.
- Yes. - Yes, but they hurt Hye Young.
- By mistake. - And you came home.
What did you tell them after seeing Hye Young's wound?
Did you scold them?
I did.
- In front of Hye Young? - But Hye Young thinks...
It's very important.
My mom would say,
"You should have dodged it."
I didn't say that.
It hurts.
Let's hear from her brother. You're her brother, right?
Nice to meet you. Hello.
Hello.
My name is Heo Dong Young.
Did you know that your sister feels hurt?
She doesn't show it, but I know she suffers.
She's even been in therapy.
Her older sister sends her on errands a lot.
If Hye Young doesn't do as she says, she curses her...
or even hits her.
It must have been hard for Hye Young.
Hye Young thinks her mom favored her brother and sister.
When we trained taekwondo,
Mom gave us a lot of support.
Hye Young usually wears clothes we've been wearing,
and she feels sad about it.
When you do sports, you need a lot of support.
- Your sister must feel hurt. - Do you...
support your sister's dream?
(Do you support your sister's dream?)
(Does he...)
(support Hye Young's dream?)
No, I don't.
- You don't? - Why not?
- Why? - What's the reason?
After living for 20 years, I've realized life is hard.
(Life is hard.)
(Laughing)
Are you speaking from experience?
There's a lot of competition.
I don't want my sister...
to go through all that.
(He has the same opinion as his mom.)
It seems like your friend is here.
- You're good friends, right? - Yes.
Let's hear from her.
- She's so cute. - Hello.
- Hello. - Are you her friend?
- Hello. - Hello.
- She's so cute. - The microphone is working.
(Cute)
- Well... - Please introduce yourself.
I'm Hye Young's friend, Yu Su Yeon. I'm 14.
- Hi, Su Yeon. - Hi.
Does Hye Young tell you about her worries a lot?
Yes. We've been friends for three years.
We share even the deepest secrets with each other.
We tell each other about our worries.
(Clearing her throat)
Hye Young has...
a lot of good cheer and talent.
She can dance well...
and sing smoothly.
I think she has potentials...
to be a singer-songwriter.
Her friend is on her side.
When do you feel bad for her?
(Clearing her throat)
Back in the days, she was lively...
and confident.
These days, she gets irritated...
and uses harsh words.
Since her mom continues to crush her dream,
I am afraid she will stray from her path.
- Do you have a dream? - Yes.
- What is it? - What is it?
I want to be an idol singer.
(An idol singer)
You want to be an idol singer.
"I want to be an idol singer."
In that case,
does your mom support your dream?
When I dance, she tells me that I look like a crazy woman.
She laughs as she passes by.
She doesn't oppose my dream.
Does she send you to academies?
No.
Still, your mom...
- doesn't oppose your dream. - That's right.
Your mom simply tells you...
that you look like a crazy woman.
I know how you feel,
but your way of expressing yourself is very problematic.
When Hye Young couldn't sing well in the beginning,
you were the only one who laughed.
(Hye Young sang in a nervous state.)
(Everyone listened to her quietly.)
(Her mom burst out laughing.)
I wondered how Hye Young would feel...
upon seeing you.
It's hard to sing well.
Hye Young sang much worse than usual, right?
- Of course she did. - What do you think?
She sang a bit worse than usual.
I see.
You should have said, "Much worse".
(Laughing)
Hye Young wants to be a singer-songwriter...
so that she can write about the heartwarming stories.
Why do you think she wants to write those stories?
It's because she doesn't have that warmth in her life.
- I realized today that... - That's right.
leaving her in my friend's care for a few days at a time...
while I take care of her siblings...
made her very lonely.
I think...
Hye Young comforted herself through music...
and writing.
"I will overcome."
Her writing isn't pessimistic yet.
(Thankfully, she is staying optimistic.)
Wouldn't it be better to let her decide for herself?
I don't think I ever gave a serious thought...
to her message.
Through this show...
You know, she did improve a lot.
I hope you would be more mindful of your daughter.
I will pay more attention to my daughter.
Say what you want to say...
to your mom.
Mom, you are...
very sick.
I know that.
I will do my best, so please watch me.
I love you a lot.
Let's start with Tzuyu.
Is it a worry or not?
I think it's a worry.
Even if she falls...
or faces an obstacle later in life,
this will be a precious memory.
- Sana. - I also think it's a worry.
I also think it's a worry.
I spent two and a half years to prepare to become an anchor.
I was jobless during that time,
but my parents told me, "You can do it."
- It gave me a lot of strength. - Your mom did that.
Yes. I think it would be nice...
- if you support your daughter. - That's right.
I don't think it's a worry.
I think she should be happy...
to have a dream at that age.
Regardless of her mom's approval,
she is on the path towards her dream.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up.
Ma'am, please say a few words...
to your daughter.
Hye Young,
I am sorry.
Since I am the most comfortable around you,
I only told you to endure...
when you are too young to do so.
From now on, I will...
I will help you do what you want.
- I am sorry, Hye Young. - Tell her how much you love her.
I love you so much. I love you so much...
that I hate the fact I hurt you.
My goodness.
All right.
Don't cry.
My goodness.
I am glad that the worry has been resolved.

This worry was sent by a wife who wants to end the war...
that has been going for 20 years.
"Help Me Stop Him from Making the Noise".
Hello.
I am a woman in my 40s...
who has been at war with my husband for over 20 years.
(Squeaking noise)
My husband...
uses a lint roller all day.
He is obsessed.
He drives me and my daughters up the wall.
"Who brushed hair at home? Don't brush your hair."
"Don't wear your hair down."
"Tie it right this instant."
"This won't do. Get a haircut right away."
A haircut?
He has daughters, not sons.
Because my husband wouldn't allow a single strand of hair at home,
me and my two daughters...
got our hair cut.
They got it cut short.
Now that I think about it, he showed signs when we were dating.
At a hotel...
They went to a hotel when they were dating.
Is she revealing all?
- It has been 20 years. - "Honey."
"I love..."
"Hold on."
"What is it, Honey?"
(Squeaking noise)
No way!
He used to clean up even after he set the mood.
I didn't know it would go on.
Please stop my husband from using a lint roller...
all over the house.
(Please cure my husband's obsession with a lint roller.)
I have a lot of questions.
Does his finickiness cover refrigerator and restrooms as well?
- We should ask. - Does it only cover hair?
If it's only about hair, would you be understanding?
He is obsessed with lint roller.
If that's the case,
they sell good vacuum cleaners on a home shopping channel.
- Do you want to recommend one? - There are cordless ones.
That's a good idea.
Who cleans at home, Ji Ae?
Both of us clean up spontaneously.
From what I heard so far,
I am a bit jealous.
- You are jealous? - Yes.
Her husband cleans up for her.
Her husband cleans up.
Jeong Yeon, how would you feel if your husband is this way?
I think I would love it.
Do women love this kind of men?
You think you would love it,
but you will be appalled when you hear the full story.
I love lint cleaner.
Doesn't everyone keep 1 or 2 lint cleaners in the room?
That's why you have short hair.
(Is that why she keeps a bob?)
Please come on out.
(Whose husband is obsessed with lint cleaner?)
(Jang Mi Sook)
My goodness.
(Welcome)
Your husband is obsessed with lint roller.
He can live without me, but not without lint roller.
He becomes sensitive when there isn't one at home.
- He has to be able to see one. - Yes.
There are 1 or 2 lint rollers...
at most homes.
- However, - That's right.
there are four lint rollers at my home.
They are collapsible ones.
- There is a long one. - There is a long one.
It looks like a paint roller.
There is a lint roller per room.
How much does he use it?
Once he gets started,
he spends 20 to 30 minutes at the very least.
20 to 30 minutes at a time.
- How many times does he use it? - Well,
if he stays home all day,
he uses it 6 to 7 times a day.
Does he only do it at home? Does he do it outside as well?
- He always carries a lint roller. - Really?
Does he carry a lint roller?
- Does he carry one to work? - To work as well?
Yes.
Does he carry a lint roller to work?
Yes, he does.
(Oh, my goodness.)
Is he only obsessed with lint roller?
Is he obsessed with other cleaning tools as well?
It's lint roller in particular.
Why does he obsess over lint roller?
Since I don't clean as much as him...
Please don't hit the microphone.
He thinks either one of us should clean that often.
He can't stand dust.
You really have short hair.
- You really have short hair. - Does he forbid brushing hair?
In the morning,
my daughters do their hair in front of the mirror.
He tells them not to do it since hair falls.
Do they leave the house with disheveled hair?
Do they brush their hair outside?
They brush their hair when he is looking away...
or using the restroom.
If they wake up in the morning...
and brush or touch their hair in bed...
- Does he say something? - "Don't brush your hair."
"Don't brush your hair."
Doesn't he use a vacuum cleaner?
Does he use a lint roller on top of a vacuum cleaner?
No, we vacuum the house twice a week.
- The lint roller comes every day. - Yes.
- He uses it all the time. - I see.
I have a question. There are lint roller refills.
How many does he use?
In a week,
we go through two at most.
- Two? - That's not a lot.
- Two refills per lint roller? - Yes. I mean no.
There are four lint rollers in total.
- They go through 8 refills. - 2 refills per lint roller.
You go through 8 refills a week.
(That's a lot.)
How does your husband react if there are no refills?
He makes me or the girls get them.
"We have no refills. Why didn't you check in advance..."
"and get more?"
- He gets angry. - He gets sensitive.
Why doesn't he buy refills in bulk via internet...
if he is so sensitive about it?
He should buy them.
He doesn't like that.
They do sell refills in bulk at marts,
but he doesn't buy them.
They come in different sizes,
so he checks before every purchase.
At what hour does he start using a lint roller?
Every day, we get up between 8:30am and 9am...
- and clean up together. - Do you clean up together?
- Yes. - The entire family cleans up.
Yes.
There must be days the daughters are sick.
- That's right. - What if the daughters...
are so sick that they can't get up?
- "I can't clean up today." - He makes them clean up first...
before going back to bed.
They have to get up.
(It's a worry, right?)
In what other ways is he finicky?
My mother-in-law lives with the family.
- I see. - Since she likes fish,
I attempt to grill meat or fish at home.
He says, "Since it smells and splatters oil,"
"grill them at the rooftop or on the veranda."
(Grill them at the rooftop...)
(or on the veranda.)
Meat tastes much better if you eat as you grill.
- That's right. - He won't allow it.
You have to grill it outside and carry it inside.
That's right. I can't grill it inside the house.
When my husband washes the car,
he takes two hours at the very least.
- Does he do it by himself? - He likes a self-service car wash.
He goes there and washes the car for two hours.
- How often does that happen? - He never lets the others do it.
In summer, he washes the car once every two days.
He washes the car about 15 times a month.
- 15 times. - Yes.
- That's tiresome. - Let's talk to Mi Sook's husband.
Hello.
(Who is obsessed with lint roller?)
You are here because your wife sent us a worry.
Did you know about her worry?
Well, I don't think it's a worry.
Most people say that.
Everyone who takes that seat says the same thing.
Isn't it nice to keep the house clean?
I like it when the house is clean.
Why are you so obsessed with lint roller?
I have two daughters.
My wife used to have long hair, too.
When the three of them brush hair at the same time,
the house becomes a mess.
I wouldn't complain if they clean up, but they don't.
You simply can't wait...
- until they clean up. - You are right.
Being obsessed with lint roller is one thing.
However, when the two of you were making love...
(How about the time they were making love?)
Don't you think you went overboard?
I guess it's my personality.
Still,
the mood was set.
I don't know how to explain.
I can't stand untidiness.
You don't like seeing hair and such.
How about dust? Do you hate the idea of inhaling dust?
Is that why you have to remove it?
I have always hated fallen hair,
but my second daughter has eczema.
Taking care of that made me oversensitive.
- It worsened your habits. - Yes, it did.
Why do you wake everyone up at 8:30am?
I used to wake them up earlier.
- At what time? - I go easy on them these days.
At what time did you used to wake them up?
(You go easy on them.)
I used to wake them up at 7am or 7:30am.
(They used to wake up at 7am.)
If your family member is sick,
you should let her sleep.
You still need to start your day early.
Even when you are sick?
- You still need to wake up. - Resting longer...
- could help you improve. - You can wake up...
as long as you are not dying.
(You can wake up as long as you are not dying.)
You can only stay in bed...
- if you are dying. - That's right.
- A broken bone or... - The thing is,
you are waking them up to clean the house.
That's the primary purpose.
When you are sick, more hair falls.
Wouldn't it be better to rest first?
You still need to wake up.
I think he uses lint roller not only to keep the house clean,
but also to enjoy taking something off...
- with it. - It's entirely possible.
My friend loves popping pimples.
- Some people are like that. - If someone has a pimple,
he goes, "May I please pop it?"
Don't you think...
you get enjoyment out of cleaning the house...
with a lint roller?
It picks up dust.
- It picks up dust. - I love it.
After you are done with one sheet, you remove it...
to reveal a new one.
Using lint roller for over 10 years taught me the best way...
- of removing the sheet. - How do you do it?
Ordinary people can't remove it so easily.
- That's right. - You end up ripping...
- the clean sheet. - No.
How do you remove it?
Are we ordinary people when it comes to lint roller?
I am an expert when it comes to lint roller.
- He is confident. - We are curious about that.
I get a bit stressed out whenever I remove a sheet.
- That's right. - It's easy...
- to rip a new sheet. - That's right.
I never do that.
- How do you do it? - Why don't you come on out?
- That's a lint roller, right? - Yes.
It's hard to remove the sheet.
I know.
That's the long one.
You can make it longer.
It's really nice.
It's my first time seeing a long one.
He carried it like a golf club.
It becomes longer.
- It becomes longer. - It's like a fishing rod.
- My goodness. - What happens if you don't have it?
Do you show symptoms of withdrawal?
- I become nervous. - You become nervous.
I can't clean up without it,
- so I become nervous. - There are vacuum cleaners...
and brooms.
I don't like those.
- They aren't clean enough. - Did you use lint cleaner...
- in the waiting room? - Yes, I did.
It was messy.
I am sorry. Gosh, the waiting rooms at KBS are dirty.
For goodness' sake.
(I warmed up.)
I want to see how he does it.
This stage was set up today.
- Show us how you remove a sheet. - Remove a sheet.
Ordinary people don't watch where they grab...
- when they remove a sheet. - That's right.
Most people grab the end.
However, when you look at the refill,
one side is narrower than the other.
(Is one side narrower than the other?)
- Really? - I didn't know.
Which side is narrower?
If you look here, this side is narrower.
You are saying the circumferences...
of the two sides...
They are different.
This side is wider.
- There is a minuscule difference. - A minuscule difference.
- I didn't know. - I didn't know about this.
- Go on. - When you are done with a sheet,
- you have to remove it. - That's right.
Most people don't go from the narrow side...
- to the wide side. - People don't know.
Pull out the old sheet...
and rip it from the narrow side to the wide side.
- To the wide side? - Yes.
You go from the narrow side to the wide side.
(Wide side, narrow side)
Do you want to try it the other way?
Rip a sheet off of this one. It will be easier.
- The narrow side... - Rip it towards that way.
The narrow side.
- You can't do it. - It's hard.
If you rip it towards the wide side...
Then it will be easier.
How fascinating!
(He goes from the narrow side to the wide side.)
I always got it ripped in the middle.
How fascinating!
(How smooth!)
I always got it ripped in the middle.
- Hold on. - This is useful.
- Show us one more time. - My goodness.
(I can't believe him.)
When did you become so impressed by lint roller...
that you practically married it?
It's as important to me...
- As your wife. - That's right.
I have my reasons.
He put lint roller on the same level as his wife.
I can't live without it.
Now that you are on the stage,
you should clean up the area...
- that bothers you. - That's right.
- Should we get up? - Yes.
(They can't help but get up.)
- Cushions... - Let's say it's 8:30am.
(What's the time?)
(It's 8:30am.)
Let's say it's 8:30am.
There must be a lot of hair by Twice members.
- That's right. - There must be a lot of hair.
(The girls hurriedly get up.)
- There must be a lot of hair. - Their hair must have fallen.
Twice should get a haircut, right?
- Yes, they should. - My goodness.
- He says you should get a haircut. - My hair is already short.
Sir, I am wearing a black top. Please remove any lint.
This lint roller is perfect for that purpose.
(Skilled)
- He is smooth. - My goodness.
- I won't do the front. - Of course.
(He has manners.)
The two daughters are here as well.
- Hello. - Hello.
Do you really have a bob because of your dad?
Yes, I got a haircut because of him.
I had long hair two years ago,
but my dad nagged me so much...
that I got a haircut...
and changed my style.
Your mom is here because of a worry.
Do you understand her worry?
Until I entered high school, he didn't let me eat snacks at home.
(He didn't let her eat snacks at home.)
He didn't let me eat snacks at home.
Until you entered high school?
He strictly forbade it.
Even when you were in elementary school?
Yes, it went on until I entered high school.
Was it because of crumbs?
Yes, he didn't want crumbs in the house.
I can't believe you couldn't eat snacks at home.
It must have been hard.
I had to eat them outside...
or when he wasn't home.
- My goodness. - When you do that,
you end up eating a lot outside...
- as if you are storing food... - You end up eating a lot.
- in your body. - That's right.
Really. You're not allowed to eat at home,
so you eat more outside.
- Right. I did that too. - Right?
Let's ask the younger one. Do you sympathize with your mom?
How do you feel? Do you sympathize with her?
Yes. I sympathize with her.
Until I was in high school...
I thought he would stop then.
But he did it even when I was wearing a uniform.
- I used to be tardy for school. - Why?
- Did you have to wait? - Did you...
Since I was the second one,
I had to wait for her to be done.
- You had to wait. - How long does it take?
I went to school late many times.
Their clothes would get dirty when they go outside.
Why would you clean the girls' uniforms so thoroughly?
It's nice if they look neat.
Even if it means they have to be tardy?
It's my first time hearing it.
(He didn't think about it.)
I didn't think about them being late to school.
How can you stop little kids from...
- eating snacks? They love it. - I know.
How can you stop them from eating snacks at home?
They could lay out a sheet of newspaper and eat on top of it.
I don't let them eat snacks even in my car.
- But you can eat snacks and... - Clean.
use a small vacuum cleaner...
- You can use a small one. - and suck in all the bits.
I don't like using a vacuum cleaner.
- Why is that? - Why?
I think it generates more dust.
He's addicted to lint rollers.
These days,
good vacuum cleaners filter dust.
Try the one with HEPA filter.
(Try the vacuum cleaner with HEPA filter.)
- Really. - Hearing that...
makes me miss my dad. My dad...
- He let you eat snacks. - Yes.
My dad used to buy rice puffs from the market...
and pour it over a clean sheet.
He would say, "Go and play!" Then we threw ourselves into it.
- That's what we used to do. - Right. Right.
That was the fun part of my childhood.
Did he pour it on a sheet?
- He did. - My goodness.
- We used to swim in it. - You played with it,
- We played while munching on it. - ate it, and threw it.
Now that's a memory.
(I know.)
He's a very particular guy.
Don't you get scolded after cleaning?
When I clean the house,
he's never happy.
What does he say?
He doesn't like it,
so he would say, "Do you call this cleaning?"
When you hear that, you don't want to clean anymore.
- You wouldn't want to clean. - I really put my heart into it.
At first, Twice,
Ji Ae, and Min Woung...
- said it could be a good thing. - I am jealous.
- It could be quite good too. - Right.
When we first got married, it was quite good.
He was doing it for me, so I rather liked it.
But I now hope he wouldn't do it himself...
or nag at me. I hope he will just stay out of it.
- You want him to stay out of it. - You want him to stay out of it.
- Yes. - He must talk as much as he cleans.
Yes.
How about things other than cleaning?
Is he flexible with other things? Or is he very stubborn?
He is very stubborn.
And whenever he says something,
we have to do it right away.
He's the king, isn't he?
For example,
when I am cooking in the kitchen,
he asks for water even if he's just watching TV on the sofa.
He goes, "Aren't you going to give me water?"
- "I'm in the middle of something." - "Don't you hear me?"
"Why don't you get it yourself?"
It won't work. I still have to give it to him.
What if you refuse to do it?
Then he would get upset.
He tells the girls, "If Mom is working,"
"you should get me water."
When the girls say they are tied up,
he says whatever they are doing is not the priority.
He says they should attend to his needs first.
So his words are like a law.
We have two TVs at home.
And one of them is off-limit to us.
- It's his TV, isn't it? - It's too old.
We have a 50-inch LED TV.
And he uses it by himself.
When he's home,
nobody else can watch TV.
What are the channels he usually watches?
- Sports channels. - Sports channels.
(He watches sports channels.)
- Or news channels. - Girls must hate it.
(It's been really tough for us.)
If your wife is occupied,
and so are your girls, you could get water for yourself.
I am very conservative.
To put it easily, in my household,
I am the king.
When the king tells you to do something, you have to do it.
(Is it a period of monarchy?)
I think you are...
bad.
- Do you mean you rule them? - It's to live harmoniously.
Right. I am at the top of the rank.
I am the breadwinner of the family.
That's why...
I think my direction sounds forceful.
- It sounds like an order. - Yes. It seems so.
How would you ask for water?
Hey, go get me water.
That's offensive.
That would offend everyone.
It'd be different if you ask, "Can you get me some water, please?"
Do you ask your daughter that when she's engaged in something?
This is why I said I am conservative.
- That's not being conservative. - That's not being conservative.
- That's not being conservative. - That's being forceful.
- Your words don't make sense. - That's tyranny.
No matter what they're doing,
they need to listen to you.
- Right. - The problem is...
that he is patriarchal.
The lint roller is not the problem.
Girls of their age...
want to have long hair.
Don't you think you are manipulating everyone?
It's not like...
I don't have any complaints about my wife.
What is your complaint?
My wife collects...
cup holders, empty boxes, and empty bottles.
She brings them home as if we are a recycling center.
- Does she collect them? - Yes. At home.
Why did you collect those?
- She collected empty containers. - There are plastic bottles too.
(That wasn't everything.)
That wasn't everything.
- Are there more? - No.
- What is that? - What is this?
- Boxes. - Boxes.
She cuts all the boxes...
and uses them to write down her notes.
But she collected so much.
She doesn't even know where she's put everything.
My husband is obsessed with the lint roller.
I am not obsessed like him,
but when I see pretty boxes...
and they look reusable,
I cut them out and use them to write my notes.
I think your husband would throw them away.
I secretly threw the bottles away.
I threw them away,
and she somehow found out. She asked me where I put them...
and why I threw them away. She yelled at me.
- She ended up bringing them back. - Did she bring them back?
We got into a big fight.
You can't touch those.
They are just like what the lint rollers are to you.
It's her thing.
And yet you threw them away without asking for permission.
What would happen if she threw away all your lint rollers?
- I would go ballistic. - Of course.
Right.
(She's frustrated.)
Your father says your mother is frustrating,
and your mother can't understand your father.
What do you feel?
I think Mom and Dad are both at fault.
Is that right?
Your mom is very stubborn too, isn't she?
She is.
Then you should've sent us the letter.
You should've said both of your parents were troubling you.
Why can't you understand both of them?
Dad is obsessed with the lint roller.
Mom is obsessed with recycled things.
(It's lint roller versus recycled things.)
I just hope they will...
throw away everything.
(She wants neither of them.)
(That's a great idea.)
Both the lint roller and the recycled things.
That's the right answer.
(We want it to stop now.)
The family is not criticizing you...
for cleaning with the lint roller.
Your actions and words tend to...
be rather dogmatic,
and your family is stressed out about it.
Your nagging seems to give them a lot of stress.
Don't you think you're being too impossible?
Like I said earlier, because I am very conservative,
this happens.
So do you want your wife and your girls to just accept you...
as who you are?
When time passes,
I will be a little more flexible.
(How about now?)
- I am sure. - Right.
But not yet. Not now.
- You don't want to give in. - No.
What do you want the most from him?
Can you tell us?
Just like other men,
I hope he will care less about what I do.
Just 30 percent less.
Let's start with Min Woung. Is this a worry or not?
I think this is a worry.
- Okay. - I hope he will stop this...
for his own sake.
Right now, he's working, so he's got power.
If he retires one day,
and when her girls get married,
she will take revenge on you.
(She will take revenge on him when he loses his power.)
I don't think this is a worry.
I also don't think this is a worry.
- It's not a worry. - No.
As someone who really loves the lint roller...
You are a fan of the lint roller.
I want to recommend him this.
There's a lint roller that's washable and reusable.
- Is there a washable one? - Yes. There's a washable one.
- You wash it after using it? - You don't need refills.
He knows about it, but he doesn't use it.
It's not that he doesn't know about it.
He knows about it, but...
- He likes the ripping part. - Ripping it is the fun part.
For that.
He enjoys the sensation of ripping it.
Right.
Then it's too bad.
- It's a worry then. - It's a worry.
(Jeong Yeon votes it as a worry.)
Wait.
Did she just vote it as a worry because he won't use it?
"If you won't use it, it's a worry."
- I think it's a worry. - It's a worry.
On days when they want to sleep in...
and when they are not well,
he should understand them.
I also think it's a worry.
(Tzuyu thinks it's a worry.)
He's making his family's life hard, and I can't understand him for it.
I hope he will be a little more...
- flexible. - You have to know this.
Your family doesn't appreciate you...
because the act of cleaning with the lint rollers...
didn't begin with love...
and consideration for others.
They know that you do it for your own enjoyment.
Just clean your own room.
Please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Stop. - Time is up.
There is something I didn't get to say.
- And you want to share it now. - Yes.
My wife must think this is nothing.
- But it's important to me. - Please say it.
- This is a good chance. - That's good.
My wife works, you know?
The moment she walks into the house...
(Are you talking about that?)
She becomes a snake.
She takes off her clothes.
- She slips out of her skin. - She slips out of her skin.
- Yes. - Right.
Usually men do that.
- That's what drunk men do. - We have to...
clean after her.
- She's tired. - But it must be just 1 or 2 layers.
Does she really take off everything?
- She does. - What?
(She takes off all her clothes.)
(She's embarrassed.)
- We have to get her... - Do you have to get it?
clothes to change into.
- You're a queen in that moment. - Right.
Why do you take off all your clothes?
- Because I work at a cinema, - You work at a cinema.
I usually work for 7 to 8 hours.
It's tiring to stand all day. When I get home,
- You get lazy. - I want to get some rest.
That's why I do that.
- I don't do it often. - Is it okay...
if she takes off only her jacket?
Right. I will allow that.
Just don't take off your underwear.
That's too much.
Taking off your jacket is enough.
- Jacket. - He will allow that.
Then I will do that.
Only if he uses the roller less often and lets you sleep in.
I don't want him to force me to get up.
I want him to use the lint roller less.
- Less often. - And he should speak nicely.
There's one more thing. He shouldn't take over the TV.
- I don't think... - I don't think it will work.
Right.
Please say something to your wife.
"Honey."
It's hard in the beginning, but it's really nice.
Why don't you say "Honeybee"?
Honeybee.
From now on, I will treat you better.
His voice is gentle.
For 24 years we have lived together,
I haven't been a very good husband.
I will try to not do...
what you tell me not to do.
- He's great. - He's great.
(That's so sweet.)
Let's see how many votes she got.
("Help Me Stop Him from Making the Noise")
(How many people sympathized with her about her husband?)
She got 121 votes.
Well done.
This person just couldn't stand it anymore,
so he sent us this letter.
It's titled "My Miserable Life".
Hello. I am a man in his 40s...
who's been married for 4 years.
I've been uncomfortable the whole time I've been married.
"Honey, you're home."
Is she from Gyeongsang Province?
"What's this smell?"
"I am sorry. I farted."
"How do you call yourself a human? You're so filthy."
He just farted.
Whenever I fart,
- my wife treats me like an animal. - No way.
(Farting)
"Didn't I tell you to fart in the bathroom? You're so dirty."
(Punching)
She yells at me, pinches me, and hits me for farting.
"What is wrong with farting?"
"You don't have to fart. Just hold it for me."
- Because I'm conscious of her, - He has to hold the fart?
I can't even burp...
at home.
Living like this at 40 is really miserable.
Please save me, everyone.
(He's asking us to save him.)
When you heard the story, what did you think, Jeong Yeon?
I think I wouldn't mind farting.
- You wouldn't mind it. - How about you, Sana?
I don't mind it either.
Isn't it okay if you love each other?
Even the smell would be lovely.
(Laughing)
I don't really care about it,
but my husband becomes very sorry after he farts.
- He's considerate. - When he farts,
he apologizes. "I am sorry."
- "I am sorry." - "I am sorry."
- He's like Kim Young Chul. - He's like Kim Young Chul.
- He's cute. - He's cute.
He sent us the letter...
because he wants to fart once and for all.
Please come on out.
(Who is worried about his wife who doesn't let him fart?)
(Kim Seung Nam)
There he is.
(Welcome)
Welcome.
Strangely, he looks like someone who would fart a lot.
(Laughing)
Please introduce yourself.
Hello. I am a 40-year-old man from Daegu.
- My name is Kim Seung Nam. - Welcome.
Are you really not allowed to fart in front of your wife?
Whenever I fart, my wife goes mad.
When I burp... I once burped while eating,
and I became the traitor who sold his country.
What does she say when you fart?
"Why would you fart?"
- She hits me, pinches me, and... - Yes?
She kicks my butt.
She kicks your butt, hits you, and pinches you.
She's a girl, so I'm sure she hits like this.
Is that how she hits?
I once got bruised.
- Is that how hard she hits? - Like this then?
It must make her really upset.
- She hates it. - I'm curious about something.
When you burp while eating,
- some do this. - You cover your mouth.
Some do that. Some just burp it all out.
While some people fart really loudly,
- some try really hard to hold... - Right.
and then fart quietly. Is that how you fart? Or do you fart loudly?
I am always conscious of my wife.
Then you must fart quietly.
You can fart without making any sound. Like this.
Yes. Right.
He doesn't try.
(But still, my wife is too scary.)
I am curious.
You are not the only one doing it. Your wife is a human too.
Does she not burp or fart?
My wife has never farted in front of me.
- What? - We've been...
Even if you don't hear the farting sound,
you can smell it when she passes by you.
The air purifier might run really aggressively.
Even when we were dating, whenever I farted in the car,
she left, saying it smelled.
- Did she do that? - Even when you were dating.
When you farted in the car,
she left because of the smell?
- Yes. She got off the car and left. - While being on a date?
Did she get off while the car is running?
- Did she open the door and... - No.
(Did she jump out of the running car?)
Don't you pull down the window...
and warn her about it?
No, I have never done that.
I think we need to meet his wife...
and talk to her. Hello.
Hello.
We can't sympathize with him on this.
Can you sympathize with him?
It's an unhygienic behavior.
Don't all girls hate that?
But I don't think even girls would stop the car and leave.
- I think you're overdoing it. - You might be overly sensitive.
I don't think I am.
Sometimes, you can't control it.
But in my case, because I hate it so much,
I can hold it.
I think it's disrespectful even if they're your family.
He can either hold it or...
Why do you hate it so much?
Every person has a unique smell.
I just don't like him being unhygienic.
I personally hate it.
By the way, people are strange.
When he farts, you don't have to smell it.
But you smell it once, don't you?
- You smell it. - Right?
- Right. - You hate it,
but you become really curious, so you smell it.
Is your husband the type who is not cautious?
Or is he the cautious type?
When we first got married, he was quite cautious.
But right now, he just does what he likes.
How often does he burp and fart in a day?
How much does he fart in a day?
- Be precise. - I think I fart...
- about 10 times a day. - 10 times a day.
That's not very much.
I think I burp around 20 times a day.
- Why do you burp so much? - That's a lot.
Why do you burp so much?
- You burp a lot. - At home,
- He must burp instead of farting. - whether it's burping or farting...
Whenever I try to burp or fart,
she tells me to do it in the bathroom.
When I get my business done,
she tells me to turn on the tap. I don't understand it.
We're wasting so much water.
Do you always turn on the tap when you get your business done?
- She... - She just hates it all together.
- She hates it. - She hates it.
I am curious.
Which one do you not like? Is it the smell or the sound?
I know how his smells.
When I hear the sound, I can imagine the smell.
(When she hears the sound, she can imagine how it would smell.)
I can imagine the smell.
- But yours must smell too. - Right.
But mine... My...
- My gosh. - This is really...
- This is a dirty one. - We apologize.
We have to talk about it because this is his worry.
(He can't laugh.)
Do you really hit him for farting?
- Until he gets bruised? - Until he gets bruised?
Sometimes, I get annoyed because he seems to burp intentionally.
I think he enjoys the fact that I hate it.
- He seems to enjoy... - He enjoys your reaction.
- Yes. - We went to a grocery store.
My husband called me. So I went to him.
And he said, "Take this."
He stuck out his butt...
- and farted. - At a grocery store?
At a grocery store?
Yes. He doesn't mind it.
I guess there was nobody around.
Why would there be nobody in the grocery store?
Were there people? That's so annoying.
I was just taking my revenge.
I was once humiliated at the grocery store.
Tell us about it.
Because I'm always conscious of her, I had an upset stomach.
I tried to fart really quietly.
Only she heard it, but she shouted this loudly at the store.
"How can you fart even in a grocery store?"
- She shouted. - And everyone heard it.
Yes. She shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.
I was ashamed.
What my wife is saying now...
is when... She knows it.
- You feel it. - I can sense it.
- I took my revenge. - I see.
How about other people in the store?
I've never had a serious discussion on farting.
I know.
Do you have a bowel problem?
I think I got the problem because I suppress it.
I stop it in advance.
When we were dating, I'm supposed to get coke with a burger,
but I order juice instead.
- Because you burp. - Because you burp.
Because I burp. She also won't let me have beer with fried chicken.
Then do you drink water?
Since it's greasy,
I stop by at a store for coke.
I drink separately.
He can just have fried chicken.
He can have orange with it or milk.
Or he can have Americano.
Fried chicken and milk?
You're supposed to have beer with fried chicken.
(Just the thought of it makes them feel greasy.)
With fried chicken.
How bad is his burp?
Does he do it in front of you or hide it?
He does it in front of me.
Like this?
Yes. Something like that.
Something like this?
It's really loud.
The smell...
(This is what my life is like.)
The crew told me during the interview.
You sent us your story before you were married.
Yes. Six years ago.
He sent us his story when he was dating because he couldn't take it.
- He wanted to be here. - When was it most difficult?
When we were dining out,
I wanted to fart, and I couldn't suppress it.
- You tried your best. - I tried my best,
then I tried to fart quietly.
(I should fart quietly...)
- Then? - I ended up pooing in my pants.
(He made a mistake in his pants.)
Then...
(It's a disaster.)
I knew I was in trouble,
so I went to the restroom.
I took my pants off and started washing my underwear.
While we were dining out.
- "While dining out." - When I came back...
- When I came back, - Goodness.
- I thought... - "Do I really have to do this?"
(Why do I have to live like this?)
I must've suppressed it so much...
- that my stomach can't handle it. - He must've suppressed it for long.
He looked very immature...
because if it was urgent,
he could've went to the restroom...
and come back.
Right. He doesn't have to hold it.
- Right. - That's what I mean.
Honestly, I agree with her.
If you can't hold it anymore,
why didn't you go to the restroom?
Whatever the case is, she doesn't like it.
So I tried to hold it,
but that happened.
Is she sensitive...
when you try to kiss her?
Before we make love,
I must brush my teeth three times and mouthwash twice.
As if I'm getting ready for a ritual. If I smell,
I can't kiss her.
I don't smoke,
but my husband does.
People who don't smoke catch it.
- Of course. - Of course.
Even if he brushes his teeth, there's still trace of smell left.
There is.
When we cuddle,
I clean myself too.
I believe that's the manner for your partner.
- For your partner. - Yes.
I quit smoking...
for my teeth.
- You quit now? - Yes, but when I kiss her,
she tells me to go brush my teeth again.
It ruins the mood.
- Even though you quit smoking. - Even though you quit.
Now that I heard how you made the child,
your child seems very scared.
- It was very difficult. - That's possible.
After several rituals of brushing his teeth...
I understand her because she's pregnant, right?
She's always been sensitive,
and it gets worse when you're pregnant.
One of my coworkers returned to work...
without brushing his teeth...
after having gimbap and smoking.
- Smells get mixed and get worse. - That's no manner.
That's no manner.
I threw up...
as soon as the live show was over.
She's also struggling...
due to his breath.
(No way.)
- He's flustered. - Let's...
measure his breath.
Really?
There's a device nowadays.
You lift it.
(It's making him nervous.)
- Now... - Check this out.
- Is there... - He's drinking water.
a standard?
(The level of bad breath)
Level four means...
you have a bad breath.
Level five means it's just disgusting.
That's the level.
If he gets level five, his wife's telling the truth.
We'll try it too.
(Sniffing)
- Am I going first? - Wait.
Don't worry, Twice. I won't make you do it.
(I'll protect you, Twice.)
(Thank you.)
Go.
(Start measuring)
It's not working.
(Does his breath stink like his wife says?)
It says zero.
(Level zero)
It says zero.
(Is she lying?)
He doesn't stink.
(Something must have gone wrong.)
- He doesn't stink. - It says zero.
- Let's try it on us. - Do it on me.
It's fine.
(Breathing)
The device is broken.
(Come on.)
(My nose is broken.)
Are you serious? How bad is it?
I don't know!
How was the test? What does the test say?
I breathed in too much...
because I expected zero.
If you be careful, it's not actually that bad.
If it's really bad, you can smell it as they talk.
- Of course. - As they talk.
You would smell it even now.
His mother-in-law is here today.
Did she stop you from farting...
since she was young?
Tell me about it.
I have to go to the restroom to do that.
- Goodness. - Goodness.
She has a sister and a brother.
They tell me to go to the restroom to fart and burp.
It's pretty serious.
Have you ever seen her farting?
I've never seen it except when she was young.
- When she was in an upper grade, - In elementary school?
I just thought she reached adolescence early.
I didn't think it was serious.
I didn't think it was serious enough to be here.
I had no idea.
Does she nag you...
on other stuff besides these natural actions?
- She does. - What?
There's more?
- There's a lot. - Like what?
She visits my house once a week.
If I didn't clean my house, she'd say,
"Your house is so dirty, Mom."
She goes crazy.
I think...
she has a habit of nagging.
Besides farting or burping,
does she nag at you a lot?
Things have to be in their places all the time.
(Everything has to be in their spot.)
Even side dishes in the fridge.
If anchovies were on the right,
you must put it back to where it was?
Cups must be washed and kept in certain places.
Same for plates.
You can leave the bed lamp in the same spot,
but she must clean it and put it back on the shelf.
(She puts it back on the shelf after use.)
- What? - On the shelf?
(Is that really necessary?)
The lamp?
(She would take it out and put it back every night.)
That's such a hassle.
She must put it back in the shelf before going to bed.
(She must put it back before going to bed.)
She must put it back before going to bed.
There's more than one problem.
She kind of has mysophobia because...
anchovies can be anywhere, but it must be in its spot.
My wife must clean the toilet every day.
Also, when I take a shower,
- the tiles get wet. - Of course.
- Then I must wipe them out. - You have to dry them.
- She tells me to dry them. - Every time?
Yes. Every time.
That's a hotel.
Not even hotels do that. They do it after you leave.
My wife's eight months pregnant,
and she'd go through all that.
Aren't you pushing yourself too far?
You don't have to dry the tiles.
It doesn't ventilate well.
I heard when you keep it dry,
it gets better.
What about the lamp? Why do you put it back?
It's because...
we might put a cellphone or something in that spot.
Then it gets in the way.
It's the spot for the lamp.
I understand her.
Isn't it because you hate seeing the cords?
- Kind of. - I'm like that too.
- Really? - Yes.
You don't have many cords visible in my house.
It must be clean when I see it.
Since I was young,
I swept and wiped to clean up.
It doesn't feel clean...
- until I do it. - You must do it.
That feels clean.
Since you were young,
you didn't let your sister, brother or your mom do that.
But since the person...
closest to her does it,
- she can't take it. - No.
What makes you worry the most if this continues?
When the baby is born...
It's going to get worse.
I'm worried that she'll force the baby...
to keep clean.
Probably.
And the baby might follow her.
The baby might hit you and yell at you.
When the baby becomes old enough to understand you,
are you going to stop the kid from farting?
I'll say, "If you do this, it bothers other people."
- She'll force the kid. - "You must be careful."
I think I'll warn the child.
Because it will bother...
But you do warn him.
You warn him, but he doesn't stop, so you get mad at him.
What if the kid doesn't stop?
That means you'll get mad at the child too.
I think I'd persuade the child.
It's evident she's going to be mad.
(It's evident she's going to be mad.)
If she says so, she's going to be mad.
(Let the child have freedom.)
Family is where you can...
- relax the most. - Right.
But because of you,
your husband is intimidated.
I feel bad for him...
because he might feel that way.
I believe the breadwinner...
works hard the most.
I only focus on chores.
I try to let him do what he wants as much as I can.
I often tell him he's doing a good job.
I believe he can give it up for me.
You think you're being nice to him,
- Yes. - and you are,
but you nag at him way too much.
You said you're being nice to him.
But that's what you think.
You don't do anything that he wants.
You said you let him do everything else he wants.
But think about it. Cola and beer go well with fried chicken.
Milk with fried chicken!
He can't even drink cola or beer...
- with fried chicken. - She's sensitive about food.
He's not treated well. Think about that.
You'll live with your family for the rest of your life.
If you're going to live with them, you want to...
live a happy life with them, right?
However, if you have no intention of giving up on anything for him,
- you might become more unfortunate. - Exactly.
What you told me helped me understand, but...
(I can understand, but...)
(She won't fix the problem.)
- It's hard to put it into actions. - I think I won't change that...
when we go back home.
You have to yield to him just as he did. That's how marriage is.
- All right. - She's been living like that,
- so it's hard to change it. - Think it through.
- Jeong Yeon. - I believe that home should be...
the most relaxing place.
- So I think it's a worry. - Right.
She keeps the house clean and well-organized.
I think she's a perfect wife in that aspect.
I don't think it's a worry.
- From the husband's viewpoint? - Yes.
They need to be considerate of each other.
She should give him a break when he's considerate of her.
- I don't think it's a worry. - I see.
That's why she didn't push it.
- I don't think it's a worry either. - I see.
It seems to me they're getting along well now.
- She's pregnant too. - Tzuyu.
I don't think it's a worry.
- Why not? - Think in his shoes.
I think it's understandable that she's sensitive about it.
If you think it's a worry,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Time's up. - Stop.
Please tell her what you want.
I will be more careful,
so try not to get too angry at me.
I love you very much, and I hope we live happily together.
Thank you.
All right.
Do you think you can make his wish come true?
He said he'll be careful, and he wants to relax at home.
I want you to be more careful.
(I want you to be more careful.)
I'll try to understand you, but...
(She won't yield to him.)
If you're more careful, I'll try to understand you.
How many votes...
Is this something that he needs her permission?
(He vainly laughs.)
Now, please show us the result.
"My Miserable Life".
(The last digit is nine.)
It's over 100 votes.
- It's over 100. - Of course it is.
129?
- 109. - 109.
(He got 109 votes.)
As a result, "Don't Stop Me" is this week's winner.
The winner will receive a cash prize.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
(Please encourage her from now on!)
Tzuyu, how was the show today?
- It was... - Was it fun or boring?
It was fun.
(It was fun.)
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Until the day we are all worry-free.
Hello will continue to counsel you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
