(National Competition on Worries)
Let me introduce you to our today's guests.
Singer Hwang Chi Yeul!
(Hwang Chi Yeul, the prince of China)
Actor Kim Kwang Kyu!
(Kim Kwang Kyu, the passionate man)
Jo Hyun Ah of Urban Zakapa!
Hello.
Feeldog and Eui Jin of UNB!
(Feeldog and Eui Jin of UNB!)
- Hello. - They're so handsome.
Kwang Kyu, you should've said what you said...
to test your mic before.
- Me? - Yes. Say it for the audience.
"What does your father do for a living?"
(He gave the audience a good laugh.)
Chi Yeul turned his life around...
- by putting endless effort. - Absolutely.
When do you realize how popular you are?
If I say that myself, it would be like I'm bragging...
But you're going to say that yourself anyway.
- That's true. - He knows me too well.
A Chinese fan once tried to buy him a super car...
- because he didn't have a car. - Really?
She said she would, but...
I was working in China at that time.
She sent me photos of super cars...
and said she would send me one of them if I choose.
- My goodness. - I thought it was too much,
so I refused it politely.
- Of course. - I refused it.
- It's overwhelming. - We don't even compare to him.
- If he had received a car... - One of my fans asked me...
if I wanted dumplings or gimbap at a snack bar.
- He sent you a photo of the menu. - He asked me to pick one.
I said I wanted all of them, and he gave up on me.
(Sad)
As many of you must know,
Chi Yeul and Hyun Ah...
- were the mentors on "The Unit"... - That's right.
while Feeldog and Eui Jin were the mentees.
The mentees and mentors came here together.
You made it this far through intense competition.
Why don't you exude your charms?
That's right. Please show us.
("Feeling" by UNB)
(Charismatic eyes)
They're good.
(Undeniably sexy)
(Fill the empty hole in your heart)
(Their peerless charisma stimulates our five senses.)
They're so charming.
- They're such great dancers. - They're amazing.
They're incredible dancers.
The dance move was very impressive. You danced like this.
And then like this.
(It's called the five-sense dance.)
It means that we stimulate your five senses.
Hearing...
(What?)
- "Hearing". - And sight.
You mean sight.
- Sight, hearing, - Right.
- That's good. - taste,
- and touch. - I see.
- Sight, hearing, - Hearing.
- It's interesting. - taste,
- And touch. - and touch.
"Touch".
- I see. - I didn't know it was meaningful.
We should hear Hyun Ah sing.
I'm a big fan of yours.
I told you that many times when you came on my radio show.
- I like your voice so much. - Her songs are great.
Thank you.
- I like her too. - The song title is "After You".
- "After You". - "After You".
I'll start.
(Excited)
(We were alone from the start)
(But I can't let this end in vain)
(By saying goodbye)
(Hyun Ah has an incredible voice!)
She has a powerful voice.
Kwang Kyu, you'll release a song album too, right?
My album...
was released a month ago.
The song title is "The Parking Man of Love".
- "The Parking Man of Love". - "The Parking Man of Love"?
- We should pronounce it carefully. - "The Parking Man of Love".
Be careful when you pronounce the word "parking".
- "Parking". - Put your lips
(Put your lips on mine)
That's it.
- Is this a real song? - Yes.
I like the lyrics.
- I like the lyrics. - The song is good.
- Yes. - However,
- The song title... - the song is addictive.
- Let's sing it together. - Put your lips
(It's a good song to sing together.)
(I'm a man who makes women want to kiss me.)
Today, we have three worries as always.
I wonder what they are. Show us the keywords please.
"Slurp, Slurp".
"The Woman Who Goes out Too Much" and "Sad Confession".
This is a story of a college student.
The title is "Slurp, Slurp".
Hello.
I'm a 21-year-old college student.
Tae Gyun, I'm sorry,
but you look like a child actor on a children's show.
"Hi, everyone."
(Satisfied)
I look like Harry Potter with a big head.
(Head Potter)
I know someone who is consistent all the time.
"My friend, what did you have for breakfast?"
"I ate kimchi ramyeon."
"What will you eat for lunch?"
"Jjajang ramyeon."
"What about dinner?"
"Cup ramyeon."
- She eats ramyeon for three meals. - If I tell you there's a person...
who eats ramyeon for three meals a day every single day,
would you believe me?
I'm talking about my friend at college.
She eats 4 or 5 portions of ramyeon for 1 meal.
That's not all. "Cooked rice mixed in ramyeon soup..."
"is the best."
"Ice cream is the best dessert after eating ramyeon."
She also eats ice cream for a dessert.
However, the problem is...
"Why are you crying? What's the matter?"
"It's so hard to walk."
Please help me change my friend's eating habit.
(Please fix my friend's eating habit.)
Ramyeon is so good. I can't live without eating it either,
but this is too much.
How does she eat it for three meals a day?
She also eats cooked rice and ice cream.
Cooked rice mixed with ramyeon soup is really good.
It's even better with kimchi.
- It's true that it's good. - I love ramyeon.
You all like ramyeon, right?
- Yes, I do. - Of course. I love it.
Kwang Kyu, you like ramyeon, right?
- Of course I do. - Do you eat it often?
I don't eat it often because I heard flour isn't good for my body type.
That's why you have such beautiful skin.
- That's why. - If you think of only his skin,
- Thank you. - he's like a member of UNB.
(Enthusiastic reaction)
I can't even imagine that.
If you consider only his skin.
Flour is not good for some people...
because of gluten.
- "Gluten"? - It's a component of flour.
- Why are you so surprised? - I didn't know that.
I thought I did something wrong.
"Gluten?"
I didn't know what it was.
(Kwang Kyu learned something new today.)
Yeong Ja, tell us your secret to cooking ramyeon.
Rather than regular ramyeon...
Ramyeon is my favorite food in the world.
I wish I could eat it every single day. I mean it.
However,
I gain too much weight when I eat ramyeon.
I try not to eat a lot of ramyeon.
You're not the person in this story, are you?
(Are you the person in the story?)
(The perfect example of reactions, laughing and clapping)
Did Hong Jin Kyung send this story?
Did she?
I can eat ramyeon and nothing else if I could.
You might think I would eat meat on a special occasion,
but I actually eat jjajangmyeon.
I really like it. I'm maintaining my weight because I refrain myself.
I cook cup ramyeon in a pot.
- You boil it in a pot? - Yes.
Also, I cook it with the lid off the pot.
I don't put the lid on the pot. Then the noodles are...
That way, you can make ramyeon taste better.
I've heard that before.
It helps to keep the noodles firm...
while maintaining the taste of the soup.
- I see. - With the lid off the pot?
- That's right. - How many portions do you eat?
(How many portions do you eat?)
Five portions.
She eats as much as our guest's friend does.
I was talking about the small portion ones.
- You know you can't trust him. - Five portions.
The ones that are this small.
Look. They're only this much.
Add one more portion.
- Okay. - Just this much.
I see.
Our guest is worried because her friend eats ramyeon...
for three meals a day. Please come out.
Please come out.
(Park So Jeong)
(They also escort her wholeheartedly.)
Please come here.
(I'm jealous.)
She looks so cute.
Please introduce yourself.
Hello. I'm Park So Jeong, and I'm 21.
You're so cute.
Does your friend really eat ramyeon for three meals a day?
She eats only ramyeon every single day.
"Every single day"?
- Wasn't it her story? - No.
- I thought it was her story. - She's the person...
who sent the story.
Does she eat ramyeon only for three meals?
For one meal,
she eats between 4 and 5 portions.
- Sometimes she eats... - Late at night?
cooked rice mixed with the soup.
Does she eat that much for every meal?
- Yes. - Between 4 and 5 portions?
Yes.
So she eats between 15 and 20 portions of ramyeon in 1 day?
Yes, she does.
Does she live with her parents?
Both of us are living alone.
Her fridge and cupboard...
are filled with ramyeon.
- In her fridge? - She stores ramyeon in her fridge?
- Yes. She just... - She stores ramyeon in her fridge?
Well...
- Does she think it could go bad? - Exactly.
Isn't that unnecessary?
- She just cherishes her ramyeon. - I see.
You said she also eats a lot of ice cream.
She buys 80 ice creams at once...
- whenever she buys ice cream. - Goodness.
She always drinks cola while eating ramyeon.
Sometimes she eats food sold at a convenience store.
You mean a lunch box?
Chicken skewer, sausage, or...
She likes frozen sundae so much.
- Frozen sundae? - Or ready-to-eat tteokbokki.
- Ready-to-eat tteokbokki. - I see.
- Why am I craving it now? - Then...
doesn't she eat any vegetables?
She never puts in the packet of dried vegetables.
She doesn't put it in?
- The packet of dried vegetables. - It's not a lot.
- She puts in only the seasoning? - She takes out dried vegetables?
- That's right. - That's unusual.
How does she eat pizza?
She eats only the bread.
When she eats grilled pork belly,
does she not eat meat wrapped in vegetables?
No, she doesn't.
Does she not eat seasoned green onion either?
No. She hates all greens.
- "She hates all greens." - I see.
What worries you the most?
I'm worried that she just swallows food without chewing it.
- Pardon me? - She doesn't chew food?
She doesn't chew food.
- She swallows ramyeon? - Yes.
Some people do that.
They say that noodles are easy to digest.
So they just swallow noodles.
- That's bad. - Your friend...
Kim Joon Hyun doesn't chew food either.
- I thought so. - However,
he said it feels so good...
when half of noodles are in the stomach...
along the throat...
while the other half is still inside the mouth.
- Like this. - With some out of his mouth.
- Like this. - A little of it is outside of it.
- Like this. - That's right.
Some part of the noodles is outside of the mouth...
(Gosh, my eyes.)
That startled me.
(Shivering)
What did you see?
I'm sorry. I've been too busy.
- "I've been too busy." - I was so surprised.
"I've been too busy."
I haven't shaved my armpits for six months.
We have a lot of questions to ask her friend about.
That's right. Let's meet her now. Where are you?
- Hello. - Hello.
(Who eats ramyeon every day?)
(She laughs because of her face on the screen.)
- How do you look on the screen? - Don't be too surprised.
(Putting on a coy face)
- She's relaxed. Do you like it? - Do you think you look great?
I think I look better on the screen.
- You look cute on the screen. - I think so too.
You have a cute face.
(Smiling)
- She's cute. - Her dimples are cute.
Your friend is here because she's worried...
about you.
I don't think that it's...
a serious problem.
Is it true that you eat only ramyeon for three meals a day?
Yes. I eat only ramyeon for three meals a day.
It's true, but...
When I eat ramyeon late at night,
I feel so hungry next morning.
So I eat more ramyeon to calm the hunger pang.
Hang on a second.
You feel hungry in the morning...
- when you ate ramyeon at night? - She feels hungry.
If you eat food late at night,
your stomach works while you're sleeping.
Naturally, it would ask you for more food.
- I feel even hungrier. - We can relate to that.
When you eat food right before you go to bed,
- you feel even hungrier? - Yes. The food has been digested.
So what do you do in the morning?
- I eat ramyeon for breakfast. - I see.
And then I go to school...
and eat different kind of ramyeon.
(She eats ramyeon at school.)
You eat more than three meals.
- I eat 4 meals in 1 day. - She eats 4 meals in 1 day.
She eats 4 meals in 1 day.
Your friend told us that you eat...
3 or 4 portions of ramyeon at once. Is that true?
I eat less than that lately.
I eat 2 or 3 portions at once now.
From 3 or 4 to 2 or 3 portions.
How many portions did you eat when you ate a lot?
I ate five portions at once.
- Was that the minimum amount? - Yes.
I have a question. She said you eat cooked rice as well.
How much cooked rice do you eat after finishing the noodles?
I eat as much cooked rice as I want...
I just scoop as much as I want.
She eats cooked rice until she finishes the soup.
- That's right. - "Until she finishes the soup"?
"Oh, I have some soup left."
"I still have some left."
Could you tell us how many bowls of cooked rice...
you usually eat so we can get a rough idea?
- 2 bowls? - About 2 or 3 bowls.
- I see. - 2 or 3 bowls?
- 2 or 3 bowls of rice. - I'm sure it's more than that.
How long have you been eating that much ramyeon every day?
When I was in fifth grade,
my mom taught me how to use the gas stove.
(Her mother taught her how to use a gas stove.)
(It was quite soon to learn it.)
I cooked ramyeon after learning it,
and it was so good.
So I started eating ramyeon.
But my family hid ramyeon because of me.
- Because you ate too much of it? - Yes. They threw away ramyeon.
But now that I'm living alone,
my family can't stop me.
- You're free now. - I'm living alone now.
So I eat whatever I want.
You become sick of food if you eat it too often.
What I wanted to do the most...
when I moved to Seoul and started living alone...
was to eat jjajangmyeon late at night.
I did it for a week in a row and became sick of it.
See? That's normal.
So I stopped eating it.
She looks upset whenever you say people get sick of food.
Aren't you sick of ramyeon?
I think you could be.
But everyone likes ramyeon.
- I like ramyeon too. - Of course I like it.
Ramyeon is so good.
I'm only refraining myself not to eat too much of it.
I tend to focus on one type of food.
Recently I got hooked on braised pork with kimchi...
that's sold at convenience stores.
- It has noodles in it too. - It's must be good.
- Ready-to-eat food? - Braised pork with kimchi?
She said you never eat vegetables.
Do you eat kimchi?
I only eat aged kimchi.
And I only eat the soft part of the cabbage.
You don't eat the hard part?
I don't like that hard part.
You don't like crunchy texture.
I only eat red colored food.
However,
when it comes to tomatoes...
I can never eat tomatoes.
(Shaking)
I wouldn't eat it even if someone offers me a fortune for eating it.
You would eat it if you're offered a fortune.
(You would eat it with enthusiasm.)
- Of course. - You would eat it.
What other food do you hate?
I hate green-colored food.
- Even cucumber? - I use it for a facial massage.
- You use it for a facial massage? - Yes.
Also, there's this smell that green-colored food has.
That's right. The smell of plants.
The healthy smell.
That's why I like vegetables.
Why would you eat vegetables?
(He and I don't click.)
Answer her question.
It's like the scent of spring.
It smells nice.
Do you know how it smells...
- when you cut a plant? - Yes.
That's the green smell I'm talking about.
- "The green smell"? - Yes.
- The green smell... - You wouldn't eat broccoli.
I never eat it.
How about spring herbs like mugwort or shepherd's purse?
- Spinach. - Vegetable wraps.
I've never eaten meat wrapped in vegetables.
Meat wrapped in vegetables tastes so good.
You've never eaten pork belly wrapped in vegetables?
I eat only meat.
- She really hates vegetables. - When was the last time...
you ate meat wrapped in vegetables?
Never, as far as I remember.
- She has no memory of it. - She's never tried it.
She has no memory of making vegetable wraps.
You don't eat garlic either?
I never eat fried chicken with green onion...
or garlic soy sauce flavored one.
I don't like that type of fried chicken.
Is it because you hate the taste of garlic?
It doesn't look delicious either.
I see.
Garlic tastes...
When I eat ramyeon,
I add a spoon of minced garlic.
It makes ramyeon taste so much better.
She doesn't like garlic.
She doesn't even consider you as a normal person.
That's not true.
When we crave spicy food,
- we add spicy chili... - That's right.
in ramyeon.
(He added chili to garlic.)
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
(He's watching it like a viewer at home.)
It looks like she'll get angry.
Kwang Kyu, please ask her a question.
Well, I don't...
I heard him say quietly,
"That's too much."
Since you eat a lot of ramyeon,
you can skip the dessert...
after eating ramyeon.
Why do you have to eat ice cream?
It's delicious.
I'm sure you eat ice cream too.
No, I don't.
(She's misunderstood.)
I might seem like I like it, but I hardly eat ice cream.
(I thought we were the same.)
However...
- Do you not eat ice cream? - No, I don't.
Ice cream keeps my stomach from feeling the taste.
It makes the stomach numb.
- I enjoy because it's cold, but... - It's too cold.
I don't like it when I can't feel the taste.
The taste.
- It numbs your sense. - Exactly.
I see.
I heard you gained a lot of weight...
because you ate an unbalanced diet.
Do you mind telling us your height and weight?
- If you don't mind. - That's okay.
I hate checking my weight because I'm big.
- Of course. - So...
I weighed 98kg when I checked last summer vacation.
Last year?
- Yes. - 98kg?
Do you not have any health problems?
It's really hard for me to walk.
- There are bones on the chest. - Yes.
I feel squeezing pain in those bones.
I don't even know what kind of doctor I should go to see.
It could be esophagitis.
It could be reflux esophagitis.
- In your throat... - But my bones hurt.
It's just you feel like your bones hurt.
No, the bones hurt.
- She says her bones hurt. - She says it's her bones.
- She says her bones hurt. - Her bones hurt.
We were on a bus together, and she suddenly...
- held her chest like this. - I see.
- I guess it happens frequently. - Yes.
Do you have any other problems?
- It happens when you gain weight. - Yes, I do.
My period once lasted more than two weeks.
- It lasted two weeks? - Yes.
- You're only 21 now. - Yes.
Also, when I sleep at night,
my ankles hurt because of poor blood circulation.
- Do they get swollen? - Do you have cramps?
- At night, - They must go numb.
- Do they go numb? - I get bad pains in my legs.
Then I tie my legs with towels.
- You tie your legs with towels? - Yes.
Do you ever feel the need...
- to take better care of yourself? - Right.
I'm too weak-willed.
I fail every time...
and go back to ramyeon.
You give up after three days.
Yes. It never lasts longer than three days.
Her other friends are here.
One day,
we went to a famous restaurant together.
We wanted to have sushi or ribs,
but she refused.
In the end, she had ramyeon at a convenience store.
- My goodness. - Oh, my.
Why couldn't you just eat with them?
The food was too expensive,
and I don't really like sushi.
I'm not crazy about meat either.
- You just like ramyeon? - You just like ramyeon?
Yes, I just like ramyeon.
I'm wondering about something.
Are you trying to save money?
I tend to spend too much money.
I follow around a band I like...
and spend a lot of money on them.
- Which band do you like? - Who are they?
I like Highlight.
Highlight.
(Just by hearing their name, she becomes happy.)
What really surprised me is that...
she can finish a bowl of ramyeon within 1 or 2 minutes.
- 1 or 2 minutes? - She doesn't chew?
No, she doesn't.
One day, there were five of us,
and we had ramyeon together.
By the time we had taken a bite,
all the ramyeon was gone.
- All of it? - Yes.
She just gobbles it down?
Yes.
She just keeps gobbling it down.
(That's funny.)
You really don't chew?
- Hey. - She finds it funny.
She looks happy.
(Laughing)
Just by thinking about it, she becomes happy.
You really swallow the noodles without chewing?
- I... - You didn't know?
No, I didn't. But after I entered college,
my friends said, "Why don't you chew your food?"
"What's the problem?"
I thought I was chewing my food.
No one had ever told me that.
Doesn't food go down while you chew it?
- It does. - It goes down right away?
I mean,
when I chew food, it goes down my throat.
It does. It goes down your throat little by little.
Do you have any other habits?
I eat while lying down.
- What? - While lying down?
Yes.
- How do you digest food? - It's bad for digestion.
Why do you eat while lying down?
My back hurts when I sit up.
Isn't it comfortable to lie down when you eat?
I lie on my stomach.
Doesn't it give you an upset stomach?
Never.
You must have a good digestion.
You can smell the ramyeon, right?
Let's see how she eats.
(Is there ramyeon?)
It smells like ramyeon.
I can smell it.
- It smells a lot. - All right.
She looks happy. Let's see.
- Let's see how she eats. - I don't need a spoon.
- I don't need a spoon. - She doesn't need a spoon.
(Hurt)
Help yourself.
(What did I just see?)
Wait.
- Wait. She didn't chew. - What happened?
It's gone.
Just eat the way you normally eat.
- Seriously? - She just...
- swallows it. - Is this even possible?
- She doesn't chew. - It's unbelievable.
- Isn't it hot? - Eat at your normal speed.
You don't have to try to eat fast.
It's gone.
You don't have to try to eat fast.
It's gone.
It's magic.
It disappears right away.
- No. - It's gone.
- Can you still taste it? - It's so tasty.
Really?
I'll chew it.
Let's compare her with another person.
(Yeong Ja wants ramyeon too.)
Let's see how the other person eats.
She didn't chew this time either.
- Eat the way you normally eat. - Hold on.
That one has vegetables in it.
(Butting in)
Vegetables?
Give it to her.
(Thanks, Chan Woo.)
Give it to her.
They didn't put vegetables on purpose.
(Chewing)
Drink some coke.
It took only a minute.
(Yeong Ja drinks the soup too.)
It's finished.
You don't drink the soup?
She drinks it like it's beef bone soup.
Even I have to chew at least five times. Look.
(No one is talking.)
She's drinking coke.
Are you going to eat rice too?
Don't you eat kimchi with rice?
- Without any side dishes? - She just swallowed it.
- You don't chew rice either? - Let her eat.
- She doesn't chew rice? - Let her eat.
She doesn't.
As it's wet, she can just swallow it.
She's sweating.
(She passes the mouth test.)
(Amazed)
(It's almost finished.)
She doesn't drink the soup.
(She is done.)
You can swallow food that's been soaked.
It's easy to swallow.
- But ramyeon... - Are you done?
- Yes. - She finished two ramyeons...
plus a little more than a bowl of rice.
It took only a minute.
Does your family know?
I think this is the first time my sister has seen me eat like this.
Is your sister here?
How does your family...
normally...
- Is she your sister? - She's very slim.
(She's slim.)
Your sister thinks you're ashamed of her.
Is it true?
Yes. She never goes out.
She just eats and lies down.
When she walks our dog,
after about five minutes,
she's exhausted.
She's covered in sweat.
It frustrates me.
I understand. To imagine I have a little sister like her...
A college student should have dreams even if she's not pretty.
Of course her sister is worried.
What I'm most worried about is that...
she doesn't swallow her food.
I don't chew many times either.
It must run in the family.
- It runs in the family. - It runs in the family.
But I didn't know it was that bad.
As my sister is pretty,
my mom always brags about her.
She always has a picture of my sister as her profile picture.
My sister once said...
she felt sorry for Highlight...
because they have a fat fan like me.
She must have wanted to...
- shock you. - Yes.
She can say that because she's pretty.
I talk more to my friends than to my family.
I also spend more time with my friends than with my family.
Your family nags you a lot, right?
They...
don't even say hi to me when they see me outside.
At home...
But I don't think...
it's only about you being chubby.
Your mom and sister might be disappointed in you...
because you have...
such a weak will.
You have to want to change.
What do you think?
I admit that I have a weak will.
I lost a lot of weight in 12th grade.
How much weight did you lose?
I weighed 82kg in 11th grade.
I wasn't thin.
To get into a college, I reduced my weight to 55kg.
Didn't you bring any pictures?
- You weighed only half as much. - I brought a picture.
You did?
Oh, my.
(Who is that?)
(Slim)
- You can look like that? - You looked pretty.
- You should lose weight. - You looked like a princess.
- You looked so pretty. - You looked like a princess.
- You looked like your sister. - She looked like a princess.
You looked so pretty.
What do you think about that picture?
(She looks completely different.)
Kwang Kyu looks shocked.
She looked even prettier than her sister.
- Right? - She was beautiful.
When you had a goal,
you could lose weight. Why can't you...
Exactly. It's not like you've always been like this.
You've succeeded in the past.
Don't you think you looked like a princess?
Still... Gosh.
(Princess)
Still... Gosh.
- Her self-esteem has become low. - Yes.
(Her self-esteem has become low.)
One of her male friends is here.
I've been curious who he is.
He's very handsome.
- He looks cute. - How do you know her?
- Are you her boyfriend? - I'm...
just a close friend.
She's very nice, sociable, and funny,
so we became friends. But while teasing her,
I once called her a pig without giving it much thought.
(That's harsh.)
(I'm sorry.)
What are you most worried about?
Her lack of confidence.
Her self-esteem has become low, right?
Just because she is big,
she always takes a supporting role...
voluntarily...
even though she is very talented. I'm sad about that.
In the picture, she looked like she could play a leading role.
- You could play a leading role. - You looked like a princess.
Students who major in musical theater have talent.
How about Hyun Seo? Does she have talent?
- She is full of good cheer. - It seems that way.
She can sing trot songs...
and dance well.
She is good at body rolls.
- Body rolls? - Yes.
- In that case, - She has a lot of talent.
please show us your dance skills.
(Her friends acknowledge her dance skills.)
("Gashina" by Sun Mi)
(Expectant)
(Stepping forward)
(She bangs her head.)
(Unbelievable)
(She transforms.)
Look at her facial expression!
(I should have stopped her.)
(Forget about Sun Mi's "Gashina".)
("Gashina" by the fairy of ramyeon)
(Her performance gets 100 points.)
Good job.
(Embarrassed)
The topic of medical checkup came up earlier.
The production crew of Hello took the time...
to go to the hospital with Hyun Seo. Let's watch the video.
(Dressing room)
(H Hospital in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province)
Does she live in North Chungcheong Province?
(She measures her weight first.)
The weighing process is complete.
(Peeking)
(Her weight is in three digits.)
(Serious and embarrassed)
(Next comes the body composition analysis.)
The analysis is complete.
My goodness.
She has a high percentage of body fat.
(Hey!)
Please keep your arms raised.
(She gets her waist measured.)
(Serious)
(Her waist is 117cm.)
(Shocked)
(She gets 10 thorough examinations.)
Breathe in.
She went through thorough examinations.
She is in the second stage of osteoporosis.
The measure is minus 5.0.
It's quite low.
(She is in the 2nd stage of osteoporosis at the age of 21.)
An endoscopy showed that she has reflux esophagitis.
It occurs when you lie down...
before the food gets processed after eating a lot.
Her condition is very serious.
She needs to lose weight as soon as possible.
You did mention reflux esophagitis earlier.
Your condition is serious in many ways.
It's quite shocking.
Which part is the most shocking?
- Reflux esophagitis? - My weight.
Your weight.
(My friend)
I bet your body is never in a healthy state.
When you don't chew your food,
your stomach needs to do all the work.
- That's right. - You must chew with your teeth...
and mix in saliva...
so that the food is processed more easily.
That's why you are tired all the time.
- You feel drowsy after a meal. - Yes.
- Everything seems troublesome. - Yes.
- I knew it. - Your intestines...
must badmouth you a lot.
(She is in a terrible condition.)
It's a good thing you submitted the worry...
out of the goodness of your heart.
Tell your friend what you want of her.
Let's lose a bit of weight together.
I want you to find your own life.
That's right.
You need to find your happiness.
Let's start with the guests.
Hwang Chi Yeul.
I think it's a worry...
because I don't think there is a bigger worry...
than being unable to control yourself.
- I think it's a worry. - Please press a button.
I think it's a worry.
I also think it's a worry.
I hope you will lose your habit of overeating ramyeon...
and walk the path of a gourmet.
There are many sweet things in life.
Taking the stage and feeling the audience's love...
will taste sweeter than ramyeon.
- That's right. - I want you to have...
a higher self-esteem.
That's why I will say it's not a worry.
(Eui Jin is a nice man.)
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Time's up. - Stop.
Show us your resolution.
I will correct my eating habits...
before I begin to exercise.
- That's right. - Exercise should come later.
I will make an effort.
I am so thankful for my friends.
I want to tell them that I love them.
All right.
Let's see how many votes the worry got.
Show us the result for "Slurp, Slurp".
(The result)
Let's see the last digit first.
Out of 200 votes, did she get over 100 votes?
She got over 100 votes.
(Surprised)
100... 135 votes.
(135 votes)
- We hope you succeed. Good luck. - That's a lot of votes.
"Sad Confession".
Hello, I am a student in 10th grade whose life...
isn't his own.
I can't do anything as I wish.
"To live in my house, you must do as I say."
- That's charismatic. - What a strong remark.
In my family, my dad's words are the law.
"Can I get my hair permed during the school break?"
"All my friends did it."
"No! End of discussion."
"Dad, please give me some allowances..."
"so that I can hang out with my friends."
"I don't have money."
"Dad!"
"End of discussion."
Maybe he really doesn't have money.
I bet his dad is from Gyeongsang Province.
If I go against his words even for a little bit...
"Dad, please open the door."
"I called you and said that I will be late."
Because he didn't open the door,
I shivered outside all night.
I can't live like this anymore.
Please shine a light on my life.
Let's talk to him. Please come on out.
(Who wants to escape from his dad's shadow?)
It's okay.
(Lee Hyun Seo)
(Welcome.)
What's so hard about living with your dad?
"To live in my house, you must do as I say."
That's his attitude.
One time, I wanted to get my hair permed.
However, he didn't give me his permission.
I think he is stuck in the past.
Your hair is a bit wavy.
I got my hair styled when I got my makeup done.
- They styled your hair. - Did they make it wavy?
- Yes. - Did you ask them to do it?
Yes, I asked them to do it.
(He really wanted to get his hair permed.)
(He got his wish fulfilled.)
He really wanted to get his hair permed.
Until 9th grade, I received 10 dollars a month as an allowance.
(10 dollars a month)
- 10 dollars a month? - Yes.
- 10 dollars a month? - Yes. It wasn't from my parents,
but my aunt.
Your dad doesn't give you any allowances.
- Really? - Yes. Now that...
I am in high school, I receive 45 dollars a month.
When I hang out with my friends, it costs 10 dollars to have a meal.
That's right.
When I ask my dad to give me an allowance,
he goes, "What do you need that for?"
The curfew is 10pm.
One time, my friend took off with my bicycle,
and told me later, "You can find your bicycle here."
I arrived home around 11:30pm...
only to find that my dad had locked the door.
You could have called him.
I did call him.
- Did he lock the door despite that? - He broke the curfew.
I stayed outside until 2am.
Don't you think you should listen to your dad...
since you are still a student?
I think my dad hates me.
Your dad doesn't hate you.
- It's an important matter. - Firstly,
I get very stressed out about my height.
I am about 173cm tall.
- 173cm? - Yes.
(A 10th grader with the height of 173cm?)
- 173cm? - Yes.
- That's not a worry. - That's not a worry.
- Please go back up. - Please go back up.
The thing is,
all of my friends are over 180cm tall.
Dad is 187cm tall.
- He is tall. - He goes,
"I don't think you will grow taller. You are done for."
- "You are done for." - He says that.
When I tell him what I want to do in the future,
he goes, "You aren't capable. You won't be able to do it."
- He looks down on you. - He looks down on me.
I am sure he is being sarcastic because he finds his son cute.
I am sure he is joking around.
When I was young, my dad told me he found me on Yeongdo Bridge.
- What bridge? - Yeongdo Bridge.
Can't you resolve your worry...
by talking to your mom?
My mom isn't on my side either.
(His mom is on his dad's side.)
- Is she on your dad's side? - When you enter middle school,
- you enter into puberty. - That's right.
She said there will be repercussions if I enter into puberty.
- She can't mean that. - Seriously.
You can't stop yourself from entering into puberty.
What kind of repercussions did she mean?
Did you pass those years without entering into puberty?
I entered into puberty, but I didn't act out a lot.
One time, my dad went on a trip.
Since my watch was waterproof,
he borrowed it for his trip and ended up losing it.
- Your dad lost it. - Yes. Then he asked me,
"Where is your watch?"
"You are the one who took it. I don't know."
"You should have taken a good care of your belongings."
"What do you think you are doing?" He said that.
What is wrong with your dad?
(He is shameless.)
He sounds exactly like my dad.
A mischievous and shameless dad.
When my mom coughed during dinner,
he said, "Why do you cough so much?"
"Do you know how bad it is for your throat?"
I asked, "How bad is it for your throat?"
"I asked because I don't know!"
I was like, "What is wrong with him?"
He showed anger to hide his embarrassment.
What does your dad do for a living?
(They burst out laughing.)
What does your dad do for a living?
That was the funniest thing you said today.
Really? That's good.
I earned my keep.
Let's talk to Hyun Seo's dad and see why he does that.
Hello.
(Who is the dogmatic dad?)
- Hello. - He is handsome.
Would you please stand up? Your son said you are tall.
- He is tall. - Please turn around.
(He is tall.)
He is stylish.
(Their eyes meet.)
- He is stylish. - He doesn't even have a belly.
Why are you so harsh on your son? You are stylish yourself.
- I am not harsh on my son. - Is that so?
Does that mean you don't understand his worry?
Pubescent children have a tendency to act out.
It looks like Hyun Seo is going through puberty.
- You think it came late. - Yes.
"To live in my house, you must do as I say."
You sound like a dictator.
When you are a member of a group...
that is a family,
there are rules you must follow.
Are you saying your words are rules?
I am the head of the family. I protect Hyun Seo.
That's only right.
- You say you protect him, - Otherwise, he will go astray.
but why did you lose his watch and blame him for it?
I will give you an example.
No, you don't have to do that.
I bought Hyun Seo a parka last winter.
He hung it up at the basketball court...
and came home without it.
He lost it in less than two weeks.
There was another incident. He asked me to buy him a phone.
Since he begged me for it, I bought him one.
He lost it on his way to school after 10 days.
Judging from these past incidents,
I believe Hyun Seo lost the watch.
What?
(What is he talking about?)
I am very good at organizing my belongings.
You are saying you never lost the watch.
I borrowed it. You wear a watch on your wrist.
- You don't wear it on your neck. - No.
I never take it off.
You can see that I am wearing a watch right now.
- Okay. - Did you give back his watch?
Do you remember giving him his watch back?
Of course I did. He is slandering me.
I see.
- He said his mom is the same. - Yes.
You said there will be repercussions if he enters into puberty.
- It's hilarious. - Yes.
My friends told me that children become scary...
- when they enter puberty. - They scared you.
I became scared. That's why I told him...
that he shouldn't enter into puberty...
and act out.
For some children, it's a tame affair.
Your husband said Hyun Seo must be going through it now.
Do you agree with him?
He is more defiant these days.
Can you give us some examples?
He complains that the rice is too watery or too dry.
He complains about the side dishes and refuses to eat.
That day,
I had the side dishes I get 365 days a year.
- That's why... - 365 days a year?
From what we heard so far, it sounds like...
the worry will be resolved if you talk to your parents.
There is another reason why I feel victimized.
I have a sister who is three years younger than me.
They treat us very differently.
My mom says men should grow up like slaves...
and women should grow up like princesses.
My dad...
loves his daughter. He loves her more than me.
When both of us do something wrong,
I get 10 blows when she gets 6 blows.
- When he brings food home... - She still gets punished.
- That's right. - When he brings food home,
he only gets food for my sister.
I like to eat, too.
One time, I used my own money to buy snacks.
My sister ate all of them because she has no conscience.
- Your sister did. - Yes.
- I was so upset... - She has no conscience.
that I asked, "Why did you eat everything?"
She just said, "I ate everything." I was flustered.
(I was flustered.)
She didn't even apologize.
I only wanted her to apologize.
"I will buy snacks the next time" would have made you feel better.
I was so angry that I shoved her a little.
She told Mom and I ended up getting scolded.
Wars break out because of food.
- Is that so? - Food is the cause.
Did you treat your children differently?
Parents with a daughter would understand me.
For an example,
when Ga Hyeon goes to bed, she bids me good night...
and kisses me on my cheek.
As for Hyun Seo, he turns off the TV and goes to his room.
You know what it's like, right?
Also, I don't work on the weekend.
When I ask Hyun Seo to go somewhere with me,
he says he wants to hang out with his friends.
That's why I can't buy him anything.
He makes it sound like I am a bad man.
You should have worked harder for your dad's love.
They say you have to work for someone's love.
I think my sister is a vixen.
(He goes all out.)
You must be here because of your sister.
Is she a vixen?
Vixens are sly creatures...
that shake their tails to get what they want.
That's exactly what she does.
- My goodness. - For an example,
when Dad's friends come over, they say my sister and I are cute...
- and give us allowances. - They say you are cute.
Yes. That's why she acts cute as soon as they come.
- She acts cute. - What does she do?
"Dad, you are home."
(Wagging her tail)
She does that.
(Thinking about it makes him shudder.)
"Dad, you are home."
You should act cute with her.
You should do the same.
"Dad, you are home."
You should do the same.
When I come home from school, my sister is home.
She doesn't even acknowledge my presence.
When I bring my friends,
she suddenly brings snacks and beverages.
She is a vixen.
She changes her voice, too.
"Hyun Seo, you are home."
(Shaking her tail)
- She lives smart. - Whenever she does that,
I don't know if she is a person or a vixen.
It's a good thing that she is nice to you...
when your friends are around.
Your sister looks friendly and pretty.
Let's talk to her. Hello.
I am a student in ninth grade, Lee Ga Hyeon.
(Gagging)
Your brother says you are a vixen.
Is it true?
I am nice to people...
who are nice to me.
When his friends see me,
they say, "Hi, Hyun Seo's sister." They are nice to me.
That's why I treat them nicely.
My brother is framing me.
Your brother might treat you nicely if you start first.
I treated him nicely a few times, but he told me to get lost.
(Get lost.)
(They are real-life siblings.)
Why did you tell your sister to get lost?
You are a bad brother.
Don't do that.
Don't you think it was your mistake to eat his snacks...
- without saying anything? - That's right.
I am glad you pointed it out.
While it's true that I ate his snacks a few times,
I have also bought snacks with my own money...
only to find that some of them gone later.
My brother was the culprit.
He ate my snacks more often.
- He ate your snacks. - For goodness' sake.
Who do you think started it?
I was young.
That's right.
It's not much of a worry.
You are at a disadvantage.
This is bad.
(The vixen got me again.)
What makes you want to leave your dad's shadow the most?
About a year and a half ago, my dad began to go to church.
I told him I won't go,
but he said, "Leave my house if you won't go."
"I won't give you allowances."
He said that.
He forced his religion on you.
- Yes. - He shouldn't do that.
I used to wash my face with tears every morning because of that.
(The war of religion)
He washed his face with tears.
A shower of tears.
(That's how much he didn't want to go to the church.)
When adults are going through a rough patch...
in their lives, they smoke or drink.
While I don't smoke or drink,
I think I know how it feels.
That's how difficult it is.
Yes. When you miss a mass, you have to have a confession.
(When you miss a mass, you have to have a confession.)
However, I don't think I did anything wrong.
Every time I have a confession, I say, "I fought with my sister."
"I didn't come to the mass."
"I ate my sister's snacks."
- What did the father say? - He said,
"Why are you telling me this? Take care of it at home."
- "Take care of it at home." - He said that.
At that age, he wouldn't commit many wrongs.
Do you force your son to go to the church?
I told you earlier...
about the rules of the family.
There are 24 hours in a day and 168 hours in a week.
Attending a mass takes about an hour and a half...
out of those 168 hours.
He shouldn't have a problem with setting aside that time...
for the family.
It's not something Hyun Seo wants.
You are practically saying, "You must go because I go."
That's why he doesn't want to go.
Rules.
(Do as I say.)
- What rules? - That's...
You didn't decide on those rules through a family meeting.
Religion shouldn't be a part of your rules.
He has religious freedom.
- It's in the Constitution. - I set the rules.
Why doesn't the family go on a picnic for an hour...
instead of going to the church?
- That's nice. - A picnic is nice,
but we must go after attending the mass.
(The root of the worry reveals itself.)
I am not willing to negotiate.
This is a serious worry.
It's not for my sake. In time, he will see it was for his sake.
Whether it be Buddhism, Roman Catholicism, or Protestantism,
there are rules against stealing and other wrongdoings.
- That's right. - It can offer consolation.
I am only asking him to spare an hour and a half in 168 hours...
for his family.
In 168 hours, he sleeps, goes to school, and such.
He doesn't have that much free time.
What made you start going to church?
I had a lot of inner struggles last year.
By chance, I watched a documentary called...
"Don't Cry for Me Sudan".
It's a documentary film.
- It's about a father. - It was on TV.
The documentary film touched my heart.
My mother-in-law goes to church.
I have often seen her pray for my family.
That gave me faith.
I am sure your mother-in-law went to church...
- even before you married your wife. - Yes.
Why didn't you go to church then?
I...
You didn't listen to your mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law's coercion...
I am sure she did it for your sake.
You have been married for quite a while now,
- right? - Yes.
How long has it been?
17 years.
I am sure she tried to convert you before marriage.
- Yes. - Why didn't you go back then?
(Why didn't you go back then?)
(Her words are satisfying.)
Seriously.
She was doing it for your sake. You should have listened to her.
(My goodness.)
Here is what I am trying to say.
Someone must've been really patient with you too.
You want to change your son,
- but you need patience. - Right.
Especially when it concerns religion.
- Let him decide for himself. - Yes.
I can wait for him to come around.
But this is my definition of patience.
You can spend an hour to an hour and half...
for a mass.
Other than that, I let him...
The mass is... Listen.
A mass at a Catholic church lasts around an hour.
- There are many activities. - Right. It's nice.
I thought he would participate in those activities.
If your father is that desperate,
couldn't you just attend the mass?
Because I am in a choir and...
a bible reading club,
I practice singing for an hour, read for an hour,
attend the mass for an hour, and take a one-hour theology class.
That's 4 hours. I go home at 10pm.
When I go home, I can't go anywhere. I go straight to bed.
Until December of my 9th grade year, I had a girlfriend.
Your father is very strict, and yet you had a girlfriend.
- Even during war, babies are born. - Right. Children are conceived.
(Even during war, babies are born.)
He asked me why I wasn't coming to the church,
so I told him I couldn't go because I was with my girlfriend.
You had to hang out with your girlfriend.
He said, "Why can't you come? Hurry up."
"I will punish you if you don't come." He threatened me.
My girlfriend and I fought a lot because of that.
I couldn't even see her.
She only had time on weekends. So we ended up breaking up.
They were like a weekend couple.
And yet you took away that time, and they ended up splitting up.
I think that's his excuse.
If he has to go on a date on Sunday,
he can attend the Saturday mass.
The first mass is at 6am.
If he has a date on Saturday, he can attend the Sunday mass.
There's one at 6am, 8am, 9am, 11am, 3pm, and 6pm.
There are many options for him.
When the problem is with his time management,
why would he use the church and me as an excuse?
I can't understand it.
Let's ask his sister.
Do you not like going to the church either?
It's losing time to play.
Honestly, I don't want to go.
But Hyun Seo and Dad always...
fight about it.
- So I just go because... - She's doing it for him.
he feels lonely.
- That's why I just go. - She does it for her dad.
You are a little vixen, aren't you?
She is.
(Laughing)
You said your dad and your brother fight often.
When does your brother look the most upset?
Many times I was stuck in between the two.
And it makes my heart pound like crazy.
Hyun Seo is scared of Dad, so he can't fight him.
So when he got upset, he shut the door really loudly...
and went inside his room.
When I asked him if he's all right,
he said I should leave because I'd ruin his mood.
He said I should leave because I'd ruin his mood.
(Get lost!)
- He told you to get lost again. - He shut me out.
Why do you keep telling her to get lost?
- He yelled at me. - He's cool.
Why were you so upset?
I was already upset...
about going to the church.
And he was telling me to become a priest.
(Become a priest?)
- Become a priest? - Yes.
But to become a priest,
you can't get married.
(Celibacy is required for a priest.)
You had a girlfriend.
Since Dad...
Since Dad is married and can't be a priest,
he said I should do it.
(No way.)
Section 1, Article 7 of the Constitution states...
that every Korean citizen has the freedom of religion.
He's violating the Constitution.
He must've been so shocked...
to look that up in the Constitution.
- You are joking, right? - He must be joking.
You are joking about him becoming a priest, right?
I am not.
I want him to actually become a priest.
Rather than living his own life, I want him...
to live the life of sacrifice and service for the others.
- That's what I would like. - That's his call though.
He wants to be a groom.
(He's very satisfied.)
Right.
- He wants to be a groom. - Well done.
That was good.
Why do you think your husband...
keeps insisting him to become a priest?
Do you agree with him?
Do you want him to become a priest?
- Rather than a groom? - No.
Becoming a priest is not easy.
Of course. It's very difficult.
- It's not easy. - You need a lot of discipline.
He has never experienced...
what it's like to become a priest,
so I don't know why he is forcing his son to become a priest.
I can't understand him.
(He's very frustrated.)
Do you have another dream?
You really don't want to become a priest.
I want to be a prosecutor.
(How great!)
- He is... - He's great.
You are not trying to arrest your father, are you?
(No way.)
Whether you want to become a priest or a prosecutor,
you have to study really hard. You know that, right?
Since I was in 7th grade,
I've been reading the Constitution and memorizing the laws.
At my school,
- we have a student court. - I see.
And I am playing the role of a judge.
(He's playing the judge in the student court.)
He's great.
It seems like your son is trying his best.
Regardless of the religion issue,
isn't it wrong to force...
your child to become what you want him to become?
I don't think Hyun Seo is...
trying hard enough to become a prosecutor.
I want him to become a priest rather than a prosecutor.
I really do.
I really want him to become a priest.
He's very determined.
- Oh, dear. - That's what I want.
Why is he so stubborn?
(He's quiet yet very stubborn.)
For example,
you are running a small business.
If you say you want him to continue your business,
- we would understand it. - Right.
But if he doesn't want to become a priest, he can't become one.
What will you do if he insists that he doesn't want to...
become a priest? You can't help it, can you?
I will keep talking to him.
If your plate is incomplete, you can't put food on it.
No matter how much I want to put food on it, I can't.
When that happens, I won't be able to help it.
- I have a question. - Yes.
You mentioned a plate.
There is a big, wide plate.
And there is a bowl with high walls.
You have to serve something wide on a wide plate.
If you try to fit it in a bowl, it will break eventually.
Don't you want to find the right food for his plate?
That's great.
(He used the father's analogy to prove his point.)
He's so clever.
I've never seen a parent who doesn't want...
his child to become a prosecutor.
- Right. - You're right.
If I tell my father that I will become a prosecutor,
he will be so thrilled.
He would carry me on his back.
"Prosecutor? No! You are becoming a priest."
(That's what I am saying.)
I heard you promised your dad something coming here.
The producer told us.
If a lot of people vote for me,
he won't force me to go to the church.
(If he gets a lot of votes, his father won't force him anymore.)
How many votes is a lot?
- We should vote for him. - Out of 200 votes.
I have a big number in mind.
If you vote for me,
I think this will be my last prayer.
Please stop my dad!
(He's very desperate.)
Did you really promise him...
that you will stop forcing him if he gets a lot of votes.?
I said I wouldn't force him if he gets a lot of votes.
But if more people sympathize with me,
he will attend the church well.
How many votes should he get? There are 200 votes in total.
More than 150 votes.
(He has to get more than 150 votes.)
He has to get at least 150 votes.
- Is that what you promised him? - Should he get more than 150?
- If he gets 150 votes... - It was originally 50 percent.
He said I just had to get more than half of the votes.
- 50 percent? - That's half.
- Did you just change your mind? - You promised half.
He says you told him to get more than half the votes.
I said 150 votes.
I think he keeps...
shooting himself in the foot.
He's making everyone burn with desire to vote.
- Right. - He might be.
See if your buttons work.
- All right. - Try turning it on and off.
Let's begin with Eui Jin.
Is it a worry or not?
- It's a worry. A big worry. - Right.
- Is it a worry? - It's a worry.
I want to cheer for him. So I will vote it as a worry.
It's a worry.
I think he shouldn't force it onto his son.
- I also think it's a worry. - It's a worry.
I think it's a worry too. Actually, it's not a worry.
You wouldn't know it now.
But after 1 or 2 years,
you will realize that you're well thanks to your father.
You will realize that. However,
he needs the votes.
If you think this is a worry...
in Hyun Seo's perspective, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Maybe everyone voted.
Stop.
Sir, is there anything you want to say to your son?
I love you, Hyun Seo.
(It's short yet sincere.)
That's it.
All right. If he gets more than 150 votes,
he will let his son decide for himself.
Let's check the result.
(The result)
Please reveal the result.
Let's check the last digit.
I am nervous.
He got more than 100.
Is it 152?
(He got more than 100 votes.)
(He doesn't want to go to the church.)
(But his dad forces him to follow his rules.)
(He wants to become a prosecutor.)
(But his father is forcing him to become a priest.)
(They are two very different people.)
Let's check the last digit.
I am nervous.
He got more than 100 votes.
Is it 152?
(If he gets more than 150 votes, his father won't force him anymore.)
(If he gets less than 150 votes, he has to follow his father's rules.)
("Sad Confession")
Is it 152?
- 162. - Is it 152?
- Is it 152? - Is it 172?
(Who will they...)
(side with?)
- Is it 152? - Is it 172?
(It's an intense moment.)
(He got 162 votes.)
(Everyone screams.)
(It's even better than our soccer team making to semifinals.)
(He bows to thank everyone.)
You should pray now.
(Everyone congratulates him.)
Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Congratulations.
My goodness.
- It's solved. - Wait.
Your father looks so serious.
Talk to him.
Sir, you are going to accept the result, right?
(He sighs.)
Since I promised, I won't force him to become a priest.
- You are great. - He's great.
I won't force him to become a priest.
And I will pray a lot for Hyun Seo.
He's great.
(He's a great dad.)
It's titled "The Woman Who Goes out Too Much".
Hello.
I am a woman in her 40s who is living in constant anxiety.
My daughter turned 20 this year.
On January 1, the day she turned 20...
"Yes!"
"I am 20 now."
"I can legally buy drinks at a bar!"
She went out with much excitement.
Since that day, she hasn't been coming home.
Oh, dear.
"Where are you, honey?"
"It's 3am. Aren't you going to come home?"
"I'm coming soon. I am leaving now."
"Count to three, Mom."
"Hey, you told me to count to three."
"It's 7am. Where are you?"
She said she was coming soon, but she didn't come home.
- The next day, - What?
and the next next day again.
(She didn't come home for days.)
There were times when she didn't come home for...
six days a week.
She's cool, isn't she?
She ran away from home.
"You are not going anywhere. Okay?"
"Mom, I will come home early."
"Let me stay out just four days a week."
Stay out?
What kind of parents would allow such a thing?
My daughter always stays out.
Please help her come to her senses.
(Her mother asked for help.)
Please come on out.
(Who's the mother worried about her daughter who always stays out?)
(She walks into the stage because of her back problem.)
This way.
(Lee Joo Yeon)
This way.
It's understandable to stay over at friend's...
and stay out for 1 or 2 nights.
But she doesn't come home once she goes out.
And there was a time when she didn't come home for six days.
She's completely out of control.
On January 1, she went to a bar.
They checked her ID, and she was let in.
She was so thrilled and called me. "Mom, I passed! I'm so excited!"
- She said that. - Okay.
So I told her to have fun.
Since then she started staying out.
(She started to keep sleeping out.)
- Since January 1? - Yes.
She slept out at least six days a week.
Does she come home once a week then?
Or does she leave home once a week?
She doesn't come home 3 to 4 days a week.
Sometimes a week.
Does she come home in the morning?
She usually comes home around 4am to 7am.
(My goodness.)
I used to be like that too.
When I used to come home late all the time,
my father got really upset. "Lie face down, Chi Yeul!"
He scolded me really hard.
Does your husband not say anything?
I've been divorced for over 10 years.
I've been raising my children by myself.
Why did you ask such a question, Chi Yeul?
Why did you do that?
Her feelings must've been hurt.
I think I made her that way.
Because I am a working single mom,
I didn't get to spend too much time with my daughter.
Have you never thought about...
being really strict with her?
I tried talking to her nicely. I tried begging.
I tried everything. But it doesn't last.
- It's only that time. - She calls her friends...
- and goes out again. - Did she...
really ask for permission to sleep out...
- four times a week? - Yes.
(She really did.)
She told me this. "Let's make a deal."
"I will sleep out four times a week."
But think about it. When she sleeps out...
If she's drunk in the streets,
- someone might take her. - Of course.
That's the toughest.
- That really worries her. - When I told her that, she said,
"Mom. It's not like I am sleeping around."
- Oh, dear. - "I love drinking,"
"so I just hang out with friends. Stop meddling." And she hung up.
Was she not like that before she became 20?
Because of my job,
we moved from Seongnam to Seoul when she was in sixth grade.
In middle school, she became outcasted.
Oh, dear.
She was outcasted by her whole school.
She was causing troubles then.
But she managed to graduate from middle school.
How did she cause troubles?
Because she was an outcast,
she struggled a lot. She ran away a few times.
(She tried running away several times.)
Which school does she go to now?
I wanted her to take the high school qualification exam.
There's an alternative school in Seongnam.
- An alternative school. - But because she's busy drinking,
she doesn't come home. She has to attend class three times a week,
but she skips class once or twice a week.
- The school, you mean. - Yes.
(Please help me.)
Let's meet her beautiful eldest daughter.
Hello.
(Who is her daughter who stays out 6 days a week?)
Do you understand your mother's concern?
No, honestly, I can't understand.
Why?
(She can't understand her mother?)
This is the only year I will be 20.
This is the only year I can enjoy this.
Can't she be more relaxed about it?
It's not easy to find a parent as relaxed as your mother.
You sleep out 3 to 4 days, sometimes 6 days a week.
But you are not going to stop drinking after this year.
- Right. - Yes.
You can drink next year and the next, next year.
Are you saying you are going to change next year...
if your mother cuts you slack this year?
- I don't think so. - No, right?
- Right. - Right.
- Do you go to clubs? - Where do you go?
- Loud bars. - Loud bars.
She must like that then.
You like guys approaching...
and asking you to join them.
- She likes being picked up. - There are a lot of bars like that.
- "Pick-up" bars. - People go there for that.
- Right. - Are there such bars?
- Of course. - That is...
what you enjoy.
Tell me in detail.
- Where are those? - They are pick-up bars.
Pick-up bars.
I lived twice as long as you, but I don't know these things.
Tell me. What kind of a place is that?
It's called a pick-up bar.
When you see a guy you like at another table,
you send him a message using a tablet PC.
You play with each other and play a game.
They no longer write message on a sticky note.
It's IT age, isn't it?
- I know. - There are so many bars like that.
- There are a lot. - They are very popular.
- They've been there for a while. - Do guys reply to your message?
- Yes. - "Hello. I'm from Table Two."
"The one at Table Three with eyes closely put together."
(You're mine.)
"You are lovely."
"Hello. I am gay."
(I am different from you.)
"I'm gay."
My gosh.
(I will make sure to succeed next time.)
I am curious. So where do you sleep...
and with whom? I'm sure not all of your friends...
sleep out like you.
I have a friend whom I've been friends with for 10 years.
I've only been drinking with her.
- Only with her? - Does she...
not go home either?
She lives alone in Suwon.
- Do you sleep at her place? - Yes.
We hang out in my town.
- And you sleep at her place? - No.
I get a room.
You get a room.
(You get a room?)
What?
(Her heart breaks.)
Is there something you didn't get to tell your mom about?
Have you ever gotten into a dangerous situation?
Honestly, I got into a dangerous situation once.
What happened?
Bad people.
Did they try to take you somewhere?
Yes. Ever since that happened, I try to be more careful.
But you still don't go home early.
No. I try to get a room as soon as I can.
A room.
No. I try to get a room as soon as I can.
(Is that being careful?)
You get a room to be careful.
"Let's hang out for a while and get to the room early."
Yes.
(Shaking her head)
After you drink and hang out,
you could go home.
But I feel too sorry to go home smelling like alcohol.
You should feel worse for not going home.
- Staying outside is worse. - Staying outside is worse.
If you date a boyfriend,
you could meet him...
instead of going to pick-up bars.
Isn't that a better idea?
- What do you say? - My boyfriend is in the army.
- You have one? - Yes.
(She has a boyfriend.)
(Everyone roars.)
You go to pick-up bars when you have a boyfriend?
Your boyfriend's in the army?
What are you thinking?
You better hope your boyfriend doesn't watch this in the army.
Are you...
not the one making the plan?
- No. - Do you...
just go with your friends when they suggest it?
- Yes. - You can always say no.
Since I don't have many friends,
and I was bullied when I was young,
when my friends want to do something,
I tend to do it without complaining.
She can't refuse it.
I can't refuse it.
You must have a reason for staying outside overnight.
Do you have a reason you don't want to go home?
I often fight with Mom.
She compares me to my friends.
- She compares you? - Yes.
I often leave home...
to avoid the fight.
- You're trying to avoid it. - Yes.
On purpose.
Where does she get money if she goes out a lot?
I worked at a grocery store for seven years,
and I did merchandising...
for four years.
Since I carry...
heavy things...
while working,
I ended up getting disk herniation.
I went to the hospital because I couldn't endure the pain anymore.
The doctor asked me...
how I endured such pain.
- It must've been serious. - Yes.
He said other people would've collapsed long time ago,
and had a surgery,
but I endured it for the kids.
I had to quit due to my back pain.
- Since I have no income, - Currently.
I want my daughter to get a part time job,
but she doesn't.
She only idles.
When she gets money from me...
What? She gets money from you?
- Yes. - When you don't have a job?
Yes.
(That's unbelievable.)
Why won't you get a job?
I tried to get one,
but since it says I dropped out of high school on my resume,
people ask me during the interview...
if I can keep their regulations...
when I have quit high school.
Since you couldn't find a job,
and you have no income,
you can hang out less to save money.
No? Do you feel itchy to stay home?
Yes. I end up fighting with Mom at home.
How about your second daughter?
She's the complete opposite.
She's very thoughtful.
I rely on her a lot.
- How old is she? - She's in grade 9.
- Grade 9. I see. - Yes.
Let's meet the thoughtful Grade 9 daughter.
- Hello. - Hello.
(The second daughter who is helpful to the guest)
Do you understand your mom's situation?
Yes. I understand pretty serious.
- Pretty serious? - Yes.
I tried to understand my sister...
since she turned 20.
I'd understand her if it's once or twice,
but it's over 10, 20 times.
It actually makes me angry too.
When was the time you thought she went too far?
She stayed out overnight again on Mom's birthday.
- Your sister? - And the day before as well.
On your mom's birthday?
Her friends bought us a cake...
for Mom's birthday,
but because she was drunk,
she ate it.
Did she even bring it home?
No. She didn't even bring flowers.
You crave for sweets when you're drunk.
(You crave for sweets when you're drunk.)
As her daughter,
I didn't want to spend her birthday without anything.
I had five dollars, so I bought a small cake...
and wrote her a letter.
- I see. - How kind.
Have you ever thought...
your sister was too much?
Since she's scared of Mom,
when she stays out overnight, she calls me.
"Tell Mom I'm not coming home tonight."
Things like that.
She said she keeps having fights with your mom at home.
It must be hard for you to watch...
your mom and sister fighting.
I tried to stop them...
since I don't want to see them fighting,
but then Mom started...
blaming me too.
Why did you do that?
You said your second daughter understands you.
If she stops you during the fight,
- "You aren't any different." - It's joint responsibility.
She gets implicated.
- Is that what happens? - Yes.
It's normal.
To be honest,
if I don't blame her,
she'd complain to me for not yelling at her sister,
so I end up blaming my second daughter as well.
- I shouldn't swear. - For no reason?
(She didn't mean it.)
So your second daughter is blamed for no reason.
She's still worried about her first daughter.
- Of course. - She yells at her first daughter,
but she's afraid it might hurt her feelings,
so she yells at her second daughter as well.
That's how your mom feels.
Did you know that?
No, I didn't know that.
- No, right? - No.
It's unfair for the second daughter.
She's smart. She comes home early.
She does what she has to do,
but her mom suddenly swears at her.
- Are you okay with it now? - It must've been unbearable.
If your mom blames you, you'd be like...
(Carefree)
Oh, right. Sure.
I'm sure it was unbearable,
but what bothered you the most?
When your mom and sister were fighting.
Mom's blood pressure went high...
while she was on the phone...
- that she collapsed. - Goodness.
- While she was on the phone? - Yes.
I told my sister to come home...
because I was terrified, and I couldn't stop crying.
Then she said, "Why are you calling me?"
- What? - "Just call 911."
(Why are you calling me? Just call 911.)
It made me upset.
Why did you say that? Were you upset?
At the time, I was fighting with Mom.
She swore at me.
She called me by all the names.
It hurt my feelings.
I said that because I trust my sister.
What happened after that?
My second daughter got me water...
and washed my face all crying.
(Overwhelmed)
(She tears up at the thought of it.)
Your feelings were hurt.
Of course it was wrong for your mom to swear at you.
But you never keep your promise.
You made a promise to come home by certain hour...
before you left home,
but you didn't keep your promise.
It's like you're making fun of her.
- It makes her upset, doesn't it? - It does.
- Right? - Yes.
So...
she yelled at you for going t0o far,
and you're saying it hurt your feelings.
(Omniscient selfish view)
Do you feel sorry for your second daughter...
even though you never said that to her?
You know the long winter jacket was popular last year.
- Yes. - Yes.
I bought a cheap long jacket the year before,
so I told her to wear it.
I asked her if she was okay with it,
and she said she was okay saying her friends said it was nice.
So I thought it was okay.
But her friend's mom said,
"Your second daughter is bullied at school."
I asked her what was going on.
My winter jacket had a yellow button in the front,
and had the waist line. It was for old women.
It was for old women.
(She smiles bashfully.)
I didn't know that,
but she didn't tell me.
When I asked her, she said it was fine.
- That's what she said. - She's thoughtful.
So I didn't know what was going on.
I asked her why she didn't tell me,
and she said she was worried about me.
She said she didn't tell me...
because she knows I can't afford to buy her a new jacket.
At the time,
it not just hurt my feelings,
but I felt really bad for her.
That winter jacket is nothing.
So I told her I'll even get a loan to buy her a jacket,
so don't get bullied.
That long jacket.
(I'm okay, Mom.)
How do you feel today?
You also told us about your story.
I know I've done wrong,
but I hope Mom and my sister...
understand me as well.
In terms of what?
Staying out overnight?
(Is she asking them to understand her for staying out overnight?)
Yes.
How do you expect them to understand it?
- You seem to love going out. - Yes.
Do you work to achieve your dreams...
when you go out?
- I... - Do you have a dream?
- Yes. Barista. - Barista?
Yes. I want to open a store with my name.
Then what's the first thing you should do now?
I should get a high school qualification first.
I'll get a driver's license too.
- She has a plan. - I'll save up.
Then you shouldn't just idle.
You should try until you achieve it.
Then are you studying for the test?
Yes, I am.
- When you're drinking every day? - Did she say she skips school?
Yes, I'm working on it.
(Her blood pressure is rising.)
Your mom just shivered.
I gave everything she asked for.
I bought her the driver license test book as she asked.
She never read one page.
- She never showed you trying. - No.
(She never showed you trying.)
I experienced everything she's going through now...
when I was a teenager.
I left home and didn't come back.
She said she failed all the interviews.
So did I.
I failed all the interviews after I graduated high school,
so I ended up going to a factory.
You should help your mom and your sister.
You're the breadwinner now.
You must grow up as a person in your 20s instead of drinking.
(You must grow up as a person in your 20s.)
- You're an adult now. - That's a great comment.
Please say a word to your daughter for the last time.
Eun Seo, you know that I love you so much, don't you?
You can drink, but don't stay out overnight.
I'll let you stay out overnight only once a week.
(It's a generous offer.)
That's such a generous offer for a 20-year-old girl.
(Everyone is impressed.)
It's hard for a parent to do that.
(Only she seems upset.)
But her daughter is contemplating.
(Her daughter is contemplating.)
"Just once a week?"
All right. What do you say?
(What does her daughter think?)
(Will they reach an agreement?)
Can you make it twice a week?
(How can you say that?)
Your sister looks very upset.
You said you stay out overnight...
because of your friend whom you drink with.
You said that several times before.
Tell her, "I promised my mom on Hello."
"I'll stay out overnight only once a week..."
"and go home the rest of the week even if it's late."
If your friend complains about that,
that means she's not worth being friends with.
And I'm sure your friend will say,
"That's a good thing." Your friend will probably think...
She might say, "It's been really hard for me as well."
Maybe you two have been considerate of each other.
- So talk to your friend. - Okay.
Chi Yeul, do you think it's a worry?
I think it's a worry.
I also think it's a worry.
I don't think it's a worry.
- You don't think it's a worry. - That's right.
Time passes fast when you're in your 20s.
I believe that she will become mature soon.
I meant to say it's a worry if you had no dream,
but since you said you're dreaming of opening your own cafe,
I don't think it's a worry.
I think it's a worry.
I went astray just like you're doing now.
I also tried to find the answer outside my home.
It looks like you don't know the taste of alcohol yet.
It tastes best when you have...
- made your dream come true... - That's right.
and drink while celebrating your achievement. I hope you'll do that.
He's a fine young man.
Eui Jin is very mature.
- He's very thoughtful. - I'm impressed.
I told you before.
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.
- Say a word to your mom. - The elder daughter.
Mom.
"I'm not going home tonight."
Don't say things like that.
I'm curious about something.
I thought she actually said that.
Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry.
I will refrain from staying out overnight,
drink moderately,
and avoid doing anything wrong.
So please trust me.
- You must keep your promise. - I will.
Let's find out how many votes she got. Please show us the result.
(The result)
The last digit is 7. It's over 100 votes.
The current winner got 135 votes.
(What could be the result?)
137!
Thank you. I'm glad you came on this show.
As a result, "Sad Confession" is this week's winner.
The winner will receive a cash prize. Congratulations.
Until the day we are all worry-free.
Hello will continue to counsel you.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
