(National Competition on Worries)
Let me introduce you to our today's guests.
One of Korea's best rock vocalists,
- Kim Kyung Ho. - Hello.
The comedian couple, Yoon Hyung Bin and Jung Kyeong Mi.
Hello.
And SinB and Yuju of GFriend. It's nice to meet you.
Hello.
(It's nice to meet you.)
You two came on the show together as a couple.
How do you feel? You haven't been here for a while.
I feel so awkward...
as I haven't seen him for a while.
Whom? Are you talking about the viewers?
No. I was talking about my husband.
I feel more comfortable around Dong Yeob...
- than my husband. - I see.
- I understand. - What did you do so wrong?
Whenever I watched Hello,
I felt like I were the person sitting in that seat.
I tend to do a lot of things at the same time,
so I don't have much time to see her.
You look really well.
We haven't seen each other for a while.
Whenever I see Kyung Ho,
I feel like touching his hair.
It doesn't look good if you touch a woman's hair like this.
He has such smooth hair. How do you wash your hair?
I don't wash my hair very carefully like women do.
He talks as if it's laundry.
(That was unexpected.)
I don't wash my hair that carefully.
- I do it roughly. - Really?
I heard you hang with some people lately.
Yes. They're Kim Jong Seo, Kim Tae Won, and Park Wan Kyu.
- They're all great musicians. - That's right.
- All of you have long hair, right? - Yes.
They all have long hair.
They must look amazing together from behind.
Only when you see us from behind.
(They could look like a girl group.)
- Yuju... - Right.
often compares people to food.
- She does? - She has a talent for doing that.
Yuju, do you want to become like me?
- Can you compare us to food? - Okay.
What kind of food would you compare Dong Yeob to?
He reminds me of soy bean paste stew with a lot of tofu.
- Me? - Yes.
- With a lot of tofu. - Soy bean paste stew...
is very familiar to us, but it makes us happy whenever we see it.
I can see Dong Yeob on TV very often, but whenever I see him,
I feel really happy. Also, after I see him,
he remains in my memory like nutrients stay in my body.
- She's good with words. - That's amazing.
But still, it's soy bean paste.
- The soy bean man. - Gosh. You little...
- Soy bean paste. - Yes.
When I think of Kyung Ho,
- he reminds me of perilla leaf. - "Perilla leaf"?
When I was a child, I saw perilla leaves...
and wondered how we can wrap so much food...
in such a thin leaf without tearing it up.
- I used to think about it. - She has incredible imagination.
Kyung Ho may seem soft on the outside,
but he's strong enough to handle intense music...
- without a problem. - That's amazing.
- I agree with her. - That was really good.
- Her age... - How old are you?
- I'm 22. - You're older than me, right?
- What about me? - I'm a big fan of yours.
You remind me of a giant octopus.
(Darn...)
I see what she means.
She doesn't even have to explain it.
- "A giant octopus". - I predicted something like that.
The giant octopus
Only a leg can fill your stomach, right?
- It's really large. - Of course.
Just like a giant octopus leg, Yeong Ja can touch my heart...
Yeong Ja can touch my heart...
with only one word.
That's right. One word is enough.
Just like a plump octopus leg.
Dong Yeob needs a lot of ingredients,
but I can fill your heart with only one word.
- She's right about them. - She's so good with words.
Please give her a round of applause.
She's incredible.
- Please sing your new song for us. - Please show us.
- Okay. - I wonder what kind of song it is.
(GFriend's new song will be revealed for the first time.)
- The song title... - What's the song title?
- It's "Time for the Moon Night". - "Time for the Moon Night".
- Chestnut as in food? - "Night"?
Or night as in "day and night"?
- It's night. - I see.
Chestnuts from Gongju are the best.
"Time for the Moon Night". Play the music, please.
("Time for the Moon Night" by GFriend)
(They transform into moonlight fairies.)
(My heart, stop fluttering.)
(Cute)
(I'm craving chestnuts.)
(GFriend's own innocent feeling)
(They've become even more feminine and innocent.)
(GFriend is the best!)
We have three worries as always. I wonder what they are.
Let's find out together.
(The keywords are revealed.)
"Shall I Graduate from Marriage?"
- "Sad Unrequited Love". - "Sad Unrequited Love"?
"My Husband's Passionate Weekend".
The title of the story I'll read is "Shall I Graduate from Marriage?"
I need someone to read the husband's lines.
Well... You're good at acting, right?
I'm really bad at acting.
You'll be the husband. Make your voice sound deeper.
You can just play the drunken husband.
- I'll let you know when. - Okay.
(He understood his role.)
Hello. I live in Andong, North Gyeongsang Province.
I'm a woman in my 50s, and I'm someone's wife.
I'll be straightforward.
I can't live with my husband any longer.
My husband...
(Hiccuping)
(Exclaiming)
This is the joy of my life.
I had a drink...
That's right. My husband is crazy.
He's crazy about drinks.
Every day, he drinks from three bottles of soju...
to six bottles.
- "Every day"? - That's nothing for him.
Do you know what's worse?
"Gosh. Honey."
"Can you just stop... Please don't drink so much."
"Are you out of your mind? How dare you tell me what to do?"
"Gosh. I'll teach you a lesson."
- He's good. - He's good.
Especially when...
(He's quite good.)
He's good. He did so well especially when he swore.
(He could become an actor.)
My goodness. When I get on his nerves just a little,
he smashes everything he can see around him.
- I feel anxious every single day. - My goodness.
He shouldn't do that.
What drives me crazier is...
"What? Where is my phone?"
"You smashed it last night."
- What? - "What did you say?"
"What happened last night?"
- He can't remember what happened. - He can't even remember it.
"Honey." I've reached my limit.
Either he'll quit drinking, or I'll leave him.
Please help me resolve my prolonged frustration.
How would you feel if Hyung Bin acts like this...
when you don't even see him often at home?
I think I would feel frustrated.
I can't drink even a little.
You tell them since you like drinking.
She likes drinking beer with fried chicken.
I think we should hear him out first.
We have to hear her husband's story as well.
It's in the past now.
How much soju did you drink when you drank a lot?
I didn't drink soju.
If I drink beer in a 500ml cup,
I think I could drink up to 10 cups.
- She surprised me so much... - My liver was healthy back then.
with her technique.
She has a drinking technique.
The technique is called Shotgun.
I did that in college.
There's a pop tab on the top of a beer can.
- She doesn't open a can there. - That's right.
When you make a hole in it, beer comes out.
She doesn't even waste a single drop.
- Is that true? - Yes, it comes into my mouth.
(She's the best.)
Let's bring our guest out.
Please come out.
(Who wants to graduate from marriage?)
(Hwang Geum Sook)
Hyung Bin, help her.
(Welcome.)
Does your husband really drink every single day?
(Sighing)
Yes. My husband will probably drink until he dies.
"Until he dies"? Then how much does he drink a day?
He drinks 3 bottles of soju and 3 large cans of beer.
The long ones.
He even mixes soju and beer in the 1 to 1 ratio.
- "A 1 to 1 ratio"? - Yes.
- 5 to 5? - Yes.
It's half and half in a glass, so it's very strong.
- It must taste good though. - He drinks three bottles of it.
My husband comes home after work...
at around 7:30pm.
He starts drinking instead of having dinner.
- He drinks instead of eating. - Yes.
- He starts drinking first. - I see.
When he's in a good mood,
he drinks up to six bottles of soju...
- with six cans of beer. - He's unbelievable.
- With the same amount of beer. - That's right.
I'm sure he doesn't drink when he's off work.
You're wrong. He starts drinking in the morning when he's off work.
What time in the morning?
As soon as he wakes up.
Sometimes he starts drinking at 7am.
- He starts drinking at 7am? - Yes.
- At 7am? - That's crazy.
When he's in a good mood, he takes a break and drinks again.
Then he takes a nap and drinks again.
He repeats doing that.
That's what people usually do...
- when they're on a trip. - That's right.
- Right. Just once in a while. - When you're on a trip,
- you feel good... - Just once in a while.
since you don't have to go back to work after that.
- That's what people do. - Exactly.
When did he start drinking that much?
I'm sure he drank like that even before we got married.
He didn't stop drinking even after getting married.
- How long have you been married? - Even during the honeymoon phase?
We've been married over 24 years.
- For 24 years? - Yes.
He likes hanging with his friends. He kept drinking outside.
He stayed out so many times.
He probably meant to...
take a break somewhere and ended up staying out overnight.
- Right. - It's not that I do that.
I know you're talking about my husband.
Right.
Did he drink last night as well?
(Sighing)
- Did he drink last night? - Did he drink...
- But he had to come here today. - May I tell you everything?
- Of course. - You're here to tell us everything.
You're all ready to hear her story, right?
- Yes. - Tell us all you have to say.
He drank last night too.
My friends said,
"You're going to meet Yeong Ja tomorrow."
"Why don't you have a drink with us?"
But I said I would go home first.
When I came home, I found my husband...
- completely drunk. - I see.
Being completely drunk,
he started saying mean things to me again.
- Is that his drinking habit? - Yes.
To be honest, I wasn't sure if I should come here or not.
You hate that he drinks too much,
but you hate his bad drinking habits even more.
- Right? - Yes.
- When he drinks only one bottle, - How is he?
he acts very reasonable and kind.
- Up to 1 bottle? - Just 1 bottle.
He's in a good mood.
Even if I cooked ramyeon in dirty water,
he would eat it with gusto.
- That's how big-hearted he is. - But...
when he's finished two bottles,
- He transforms. - his drinking habit comes out.
He would say, "How can you cook ramyeon like this?"
He would pick on everything...
he can see.
Could you give us an example?
Does he open the fridge too?
He doesn't just open it. He smashes it.
He smashes the fridge?
(Hew smashes the fridge?)
I'll tell you how he does that.
He once brought a 50L food waste bag...
and threw away all the food we had in the fridge.
Then...
- you must have told him next day. - Yes, I did.
Did he apologize to you saying he couldn't remember that?
That's another thing that drives me crazy.
When he wakes up, he acts like a different person...
as if he had done nothing the night before.
- He acts like an angel. - Yes. He's so kind.
But when he's drunk and in a bad mood,
he smashes our dining table and the doors.
We have wooden doors in our house.
There are holes in the doors.
- He kicked holes through the doors. - Yes.
There must be your clothes in the closet.
He picks on me.
He says to me,
"You must be happy that you have a lot of clothes."
"You must be happy that you have a lot of shoes."
Why didn't you say something?
"Gosh. Shoes!"
(Counterattack)
(I just called shoes shoes.)
In your letter, you wrote...
that your husband even smashed his mobile phone.
Because I told him to drink less,
he smashed his phone into pieces right then and there.
It wasn't just the screen that was broken.
His phone was completely smashed just like glass...
- shattered into pieces. - My goodness.
What did he say next morning?
He said, "When did I do that?"
- Did he turn into an angel again? - He changed again...
- So I... - By the way, you're so wise.
When he was drunk, you said politely,
"Could you please stop drinking?"
When he woke up, you said, "You smashed it."
- That's because I'm on TV. - I see.
I put it like that because I'm on TV.
I actually said, "Stop drinking already."
- She speaks very softly. - If she doesn't speak like that...
(She put it in a much milder way.)
Your husband came here, didn't he?
- Yes, he did. - He drank last night too, right?
Yes, but he looks perfectly fine right now.
Let's meet her husband. Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
(Who drinks every day and has bad drinking habits?)
- He seems excited. - He can be his drinking buddy.
Please say hello.
- He likes drinking just like you. - Hello.
- Right. - Yes.
- Well... - Let's drink together some time.
- "Let's drink together some time." - He's so shy.
Exactly.
Why did you drink last night?
You should've held back as you were going to come here today.
I wanted to resolve nervousness, so I can enjoy the show today.
- Nervousness, my foot. - Once I started drinking,
one bottle led to another.
You heard your wife's worry. How are you feeling now?
Do you understand her worry?
- Of course you do. - Well, honestly,
I know that I drink a lot,
but I haven't thought it was a big problem.
It is a big problem for her.
You also have bad drinking habits.
Do you really drink that much every single day?
I drink that much every day.
However, I never caused my friends any trouble...
after drinking with them.
- All I do is discipline my family. - He's driving me crazy.
- That's the worst. - Your family matters the most.
You should drink outside home instead of doing that.
Is there any particular reason to drink every day?
Since I'm working as a cook...
- You're a cook? - Yes.
You drink every day because you're a cook?
- After cooking all day long, - Right.
I feel like drinking a glass of soju at home.
How much can you drink?
I drink at least 3 bottles of soju and 3 cans of beer.
I used to mix...
1 bottle of soju with 2 cans of beer,
but after some time, it became too weak for me.
- So you mix them in a 1 to 1 ratio. - At some point, I started to mix...
1 bottle of soju with 1 can of beer.
Buddha once said,
"Drink, but don't get drunk."
- The Bible says the same thing. - Is that so?
- "Drink, but don't get drunk." - I always bear that in my mind.
She said I get drunk, but I never get drunk.
Are you saying that you've never gotten drunk as far as you remember?
Yes. It's because I always bear the quote in my mind.
But you said you didn't remember what happened the night before.
There was a hole in the door...
- or your phone was smashed. - That means you got drunk.
You never know who did that.
(I'm not the one who did it.)
You think your wife could've done it.
Are you saying that your wife kicked a hole through the door?
Your husband must have denied what he did...
when he woke up...
many times.
- Didn't you film a video of him? - That's right.
I once filmed a video clip on my phone and showed it to him.
- Did he still not believe you? - He smashed my phone too.
- Did he remove the evidence? - Yes.
He threw the phone from the 13th floor.
(He refused to admit what he had done.)
Did you show him the video next day?
- Yes. - Was he sober?
I showed it to him when he was sober.
I didn't throw it. It fell off.
- From the 13th floor? - How...
She must've shown it to you on the balcony.
It fell off by accident.
- I didn't throw it out the window. - Did you tap my hand...
while I was showing you the video on the balcony? That's not true.
- Ma'am. - "That's not true."
(She spoke with anger.)
Do you have problems with your family?
- Why do you nag them when drunk? - Right.
When our children were younger,
I hated the children song that goes, "Dad, cheer up" the most.
- What? - What?
(What did he just say?)
- Why? - When they sang the song,
it sounded like they were telling me to go out and make money for them.
That's not how the song goes. Do you remember the lyrics?
- Dad, cheer up - Dad, cheer up
- We are here for you - We are here for you
That means they want me to make a lot of money for them.
- That's... - It doesn't say anything like that.
- The song is to cheer you up. - So...
It doesn't go, "Dad, go out and make money for us".
Please go on.
In fact, my wife goes shopping often.
She has a lot of clothes and shoes.
- That's why... - You talk about it when drunk.
I release my pent up dissatisfaction when drunk.
Why do you talk about it when you're drunk?
You can just tell her when you're sober.
"Let's not spend too much money."
My wife is the scariest person in the world.
How can I tell her when I'm sober?
Is what your husband said true?
I am speechless.
I bought a T-shirt like this for about a dozen dollars...
from an online store.
It was a good deal.
- I also spent three dollars... - I see.
- It was less than 30 dollars. - You should buy it.
It wasn't too expensive for a piece of clothing.
- You're right. - I'm not just a housewife.
- I work too. - Really?
- Yes. - Oh, gosh.
I also work.
But it was when she hasn't started working.
She didn't work then.
- He keeps saying it. - He insists that he's right.
You are quite sensitive on how your wife spends money.
How do you think about the money you spend on alcohol?
- She's right. - It was a sharp question.
- She's right. - He spends so much on alcohol.
Who buys drinks for you?
- I buy it with my own pocket money. - Oh, I see.
- Right. - Then...
how much does he roughly spend on alcohol?
He drinks 365 days.
He drinks every day for the whole year. Let me calculate it.
It's 1 dollar per bottle. He buys 3 bottles of soju and beer...
Is it about 400 dollars?
- It's more than that. - For one month?
Yes. He also buys light bites for alcohol too.
He buys food too.
He spends 400 dollars just on alcohol itself per month.
Compare to him, I spend much less.
I was shocked at him about how...
he hates the song "Cheer Up, Dad" sung by his own kids.
How do your children feel about their father?
It was when my kids were in their kindergarten days.
- It's so cute when they sing that. - Both of them?
- How did they sing for him? - Cheer up, Dad
- We are here for you - We are here for you
He'll say this even before they finish singing.
"I'm happy without you guys!"
(Get out of my sight!)
- Really? - No way.
How could you say that to your own children?
- He's like a comedian. - My goodness.
Maybe he was just playing around.
No, he meant it. He said that like how he says stuff now.
When he said that, my kids cried.
- Of course. - Well, I got it because...
something similar happened to me. I loved that song very much.
Kids can't even sing the song properly, but they tried hard.
- Cheer up, Dad - My kid replaced his name...
in the song and sang it.
My wife was so jealous.
- Right. - My wife was very jealous of it.
I told my kid to sing the song for my wife too.
My kid suddenly got all confused.
- Because he has to change lyrics. - He said, "Mom..."
My wife was eager to listen to the song.
Cheer up, Mom
Mom, you should cheer up yourself
It's so mean.
My wife was hurt.
- It's because kids don't know. - Kids are genius.
I'll relate to him if it was something like that.
How could you be so mean to your kids when they were young?
What did your children say?
They want their dad to drink less.
They'll ask me to tell their dad about it.
- You know what he says? - What does he say?
(He'll say this to his children who are worried about his drinking.)
(What did the father say?)
"I didn't buy it with your money."
"I bought it with my own money. It's none of your business."
(He says harsh things to the kids.)
"I earn the money to buy it. Don't interfere with my business."
- Oh, no. - Kids stopped talking since then.
- They don't want to talk. - When they were young,
were they scared of their own father when he drank?
Yes. So these days,
kids don't talk to their father at all.
I'm wondering if the father really did that.
Maybe your husband has a different point of view.
Was it true you said those mean things to your kids when they sang?
Yes, I said it once without thinking much. It was just once.
You said it once without thinking much.
- It's a big shock to the kids. - Of course.
- Well... - His son is here with us today.
- He seems uncomfortable. - Yes.
- Look at how he's sitting. - Yes.
He doesn't turn his face to his father.
- Yes. - Right.
You're the son, right?
- Yes. Hello. - Hello.
Did you say it's hard to live with your dad?
Yes. It's because whenever I start talking to him,
we end up fighting.
He gets angry when he gets drunk.
When I talk to him about my career counseling, I'd tell him,
"Dad, I want to be a professor because my grades are good."
"You can't be a professor."
"Get yourself some skills and be a mechanic."
- He's so negative. - Yes, he talks negatively.
He just says mean things to me.
So it's hard for me.
(He's so mean.)
- How is he when he's sober? - Yes, is he the same?
- When he doesn't drink... - When he is sober,
I go to school. I come back home in the evening.
When I'm home in the evening, he's already in the middle of drinking.
- Oh, he drinks again. - He doesn't have time to talk.
You can't see your dad when he's sober.
It's sad.
In fact,
it's a really nice thing for a dad and his son to drink together.
- It's very nice. - Yes, I know.
Tae Gyun's father passed away when he was really young.
- I envy that so much. - Sometimes...
I'd tell him I'm going to drink with my father and brother after this.
I tell him that I'm going to have dinner and drink with them.
- He gets so jealous. - I'm so jealous of that.
You must be happy when you drink with your dad, right?
Yes, I'm happy then.
Is it hard because your dad changes as he gets drunk?
- Yes. - Couldn't you stop him?
You could have said, "Dad, let's wrap this up here. Let's stop."
If it worked,
I would have done that. But it doesn't work like that.
- Have you tried? - Yes. I tried throwing away drinks.
But he asked me to go buy the alcohol again.
He's right. It's not the ultimate solution.
When was the toughest time for you because of his drinking habit?
I was scared of my dad when I was young.
- When you were young? - Yes.
I'd be in my room listening to Dad screaming.
I'd hear how my dad and mom fight and swear at each other.
It's horrible to listen to that in my own room.
Sir, how do you feel about it after hearing the story?
- He said he was scared. - Yes, it must have been scary.
Now that I think about it, I regret what I did.
But you know, when nice places are shown on TV,
I'd bring my children there and have a picnic too.
When my daughter said she wanted to eat some food, I didn't buy it.
- I cooked it myself for her. - Oh, my goodness.
When she said she wanted to have some sashimi, I'd buy the fish.
I'll chop the raw fish off to make sushi at home.
I did all those things for them.
But when they grew up, I talked to them about it.
They said they don't remember it.
- Oh, you felt bad. - Yes, I did.
So it also hurt my feelings.
- They don't remember. - But for you,
you don't remember anything every night.
- Right. - You don't remember it every night.
- How could you expect this? - It's like 10 or 15 years ago.
It's not like I don't remember anything every night.
It only happens when I drink a lot.
It doesn't happen every day.
You know you change whenever you get drunk.
Haven't you thought about quitting?
Maybe I was tired or something. I got a nosebleed.
So I stopped drinking for about a week.
- This year? - Yes.
My nosebleed stopped when I didn't drink.
So I tried testing if it would bleed again when I drink. So I drank.
(Why would you do that?)
- It's not sensible. - Why would you test that?
Why would you?
He checks his own health like that.
(His will to quit drinking stopped like that.)
- Oh, no. - He had to drink.
I can relate to this story so well.
- My uncle was exactly like him. - Oh, I see.
What I remember about him when I was young is...
when he drinks, every family member is on emergency.
- Was it that bad? - When he knocks on the door,
everyone of us kept quiet inside the house.
- He grew sick. - My uncle was really healthy too.
He was so healthy, but...
he had alcoholic dementia later.
I remember my whole family suffered so much until the end.
(He's a bit worried.)
Now, the son will get married one day too.
What is your biggest worry?
When I move out, my mom will be home alone with my dad.
Mom's weak, but dad's strong.
She could be in a danger.
- He becomes violent. - There's nobody to help her.
That's what I'm worried about.
Are you scared?
(She's hesitant.)
Why did you suddenly feel emotional just now?
- It's all in her. - In the past...
(She's remembering what happened in the past.)
(She tears up.)
It's okay. You can talk to us.
A long time ago... It was about six years ago.
I thought I can't live with him anymore.
I was very ill then too.
- I had breast cancer. - Oh, gosh.
He drank when you were so sick too?
- He had to support you. - I know.
He wasn't there with you.
Tell us about it.
When I got out of the hospital after having an operation,
my doctor warned me that...
there could be a fever up to 40°C.
He said that means inflammation.
He told you to come back right away?
He told me that I had to go to the emergency room.
But my husband was...
not home then. He didn't pick up my calls.
I had a fever the whole night. It was more than 40°C.
My kids were young too.
Those kids were trying to care for me.
I went to the hospital the next day.
The doctor said, "It's a miracle you survived."
- Was it that bad? - Yes.
(It's a miracle she survived it.)
- It's a miracle. - Was it that bad?
So I was hospitalized again for like 15 days. When I came back,
my husband was gone again to drink.
- He doesn't remember it. - He said mean stuff.
He swore at me harshly.
I lost my hair then.
My face turned grey. It wasn't a human's face.
- It's because of chemo-therapy. - Yes.
He told me in my face,
"You don't even look like a woman."
He said, "Who would want to hug a woman like you?"
In front of my kids,
he said, "Get a pretty stepmother."
(Get a pretty stepmother.)
That's what he said.
(Is he out of his mind?)
Did you really say that?
(If he were next to me...)
I regret what I said.
My family wasn't doing well financially.
I paid all my insurances, but she fought with the planner.
She didn't pay for the insurances. We didn't get any medical insurance.
Things were hard then.
- You were holding grudges. - I was holding grudges.
I feel bad about it now, but...
- You were angry back then. - Yes, I said those words in anger.
(She will never forget those words.)
Your parent's illness can be very scary.
I am sure you were scared and worried.
Have you done anything bold...
to protect your mom?
My mum and dad fought so much...
that I rented a studio apartment in the neighborhood.
I told my mom,
"I don't need Dad. Let's live by ourselves."
My mom took part-time jobs to support me.
However, Dad came a month later...
and said,
"I am so sorry. Please forgive me."
"I won't do it again."
It doesn't last.
He doesn't change.
I am shocked.
This isn't the first time you tried to fix the relationship.
Visiting Hello is your last resort.
Visiting Hello...
- is my last resort. - It's your last resort.
- It's the very last resort. - Yes.
These days, I am thinking about marriage graduation.
(She will have a marriage graduation if he doesn't improve.)
It would be better than living with someone who doesn't like me,
having fist fights,
and calling the police.
(It would be better to break up.)
Geum Sook's husband and I are about the same age.
With only a few years apart, we are practically friends.
You shouldn't think of him...
as a father of the older generation.
- Compared to Dong Yeob, - He is two years older.
he is two years older.
He is a young dad.
- That's right. - He is a young dad.
You shouldn't think of him...
as a dad in the 60s or 70s.
He is around our age.
To be precise, he is a year younger than Yeong Ja and Chan Woo.
(Annoyed)
(He gives it back to her.)
I want to know how you felt...
when you went to your wife and begged for forgiveness.
When my wife and children left,
I was happy at first to have no one nag at me...
as I drank.
After a few days,
I realized that it's no fun to drink by myself.
- You had no one to nag at you. - That's right.
Without the children, the house felt empty.
That's when...
I came to regret my actions.
Then why did you revert to your old self...
when your family came back home?
I only caused troubles when I was in my 40s.
I stopped causing troubles when I entered my 50s.
- You turned 50 this year! - You have been in your 50s...
- for 4 or 5 months. - That's right.
When did you throw your cell phone?
Has it been three months?
- Three months? - That's not long ago.
That means it happened this year.
I can't believe he doesn't remember. It has only been a month!
It has only been a month.
That means you haven't changed.
Hey, friend.
(This is too much.)
He is younger than you.
(Dong Yeob continues to stick to the fact.)
(We are only a year apart.)
Don't you think this is too much?
Seriously.
We must compare him to the modern-day dads.
That's right.
(Don't forget to compare him to the modern-day dads.)
Have you ever made an effort...
to change for your wife?
When she is mad at me,
I suggest that we go on a walk on my day off.
- That's good. - I make a lot of effort...
to improve our relationship.
Going on a walk with him is meaningless...
because it always ends with him drinking.
It always ends with him drinking.
(We shouldn't have expected anything.)
- Again? - Where does he drink?
- It doesn't matter where. - Why did you leave that part out?
He drinks anywhere.
- It's the drink that matters. - He sits down...
and goes,
"The scenery is beautiful and the air is clean."
"Where else should I drink?"
I turn up the music and drive.
He takes me as his driver.
He takes me as his maid.
(I am sick and tired of it.)
Before I visited the show, I said,
"Sure, let's visit Hello. I don't think it's much of a worry."
That was the thought I had. However, I feel like...
I am at a hearing as a criminal.
(It's serious.)
If her worry gets more than 100 votes,
I will make an effort to quit drinking.
Please do that.
- I don't believe him. - Once this episode airs,
people might not sell alcohol to you.
Geum Sook said,
"I don't believe him."
- Who would believe him? - Has he made promises before?
He has made a lot of promises.
"I will drink less tomorrow."
"I will only drink one bottle."
I quit smoking on my 1st try 15 years ago.
It would be a piece of cake to quit drinking.
A piece of cake?
- Drinking alcohol revs you up. - That's right.
(I won't say anything.)
Do all chefs drink as much as you?
Do they act out at home,
- break things, - I am sure they don't.
and mistreat their family members?
I don't break things anymore.
- When did you break a cell phone? - A month ago.
You did it a month ago.
To be honest, I wanted a new cell phone.
(He makes an original excuse.)
Gosh, you are full of excuses!
- I can't believe him. - It's getting worse.
(Dad?)
You know,
you shouldn't think that you are in need...
of relieving your stress...
by drinking.
You are the type of person who shouldn't drink.
I am sorry, but you are.
When your family tells you, "You promised not to drink more."
Then you become angry...
and flip over the table.
- Who does that these days? - Seriously.
- It's ridiculous. - It only appears in an old drama.
What is wrong with you?
I did it in the past.
When did you break a cell phone?
(It's the cheat code.)
- A month ago. - You are at a disadvantage.
(Yeong Ja is the best.)
Geum Sook, please say your last words...
to your husband.
I never asked for much...
during the years I lived with you.
I never asked you to earn a lot of money.
(She tears up again.)
Please quit drinking and get a hold of yourself.
(She sighs deeply.)
I know that you struggled after marrying me,
but I struggled even more.
Please wrap it up in a beautiful way.
(He advises after hesitation.)
If you quit drinking,
I can treat you much better.
That's all.
Let's start with Kyeong Mi.
It's a worry.
I think it's a worry.
Your family doesn't exist...
to relieve your stress.
I hope you would quit drinking.
I also think it's a worry.
You said you don't remember what you did in a drunken state.
- Yes. - However, you gave your family...
a lot of painful memories.
I hope you would apologize to them.
You need to quit drinking to stop depending on alcohol.
I think it's a worry.
If you think Geum Sook struggled because of this matter,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Stop.
Sir, please say a few words.
I am sorry for what I have done.
I will do my best to be a good head of the family.
I love you.
He didn't say he will quit drinking once and for all.
- No, he didn't. - He didn't say that.
Let's see the result first.
(He said he will quit drinking if the worry gets over 100 votes.)
How many votes are you expecting?
(How many votes is he expecting?)
About 90 votes.
He doesn't want to quit drinking.
91 votes.
Tell us...
how many votes it will take for you to quit drinking.
(He doesn't know what to do.)
- Tell us. - Tell us honestly.
- If I get over 100 votes, - You will quit drinking.
I will try my best to quit drinking.
Show us the result.
(The result)
(The last digit is 1.)
Did it get over 100 votes?
(With desperation,)
(the family delivered their sincerity.)
(He promised to quit drinking if the worry gets over 100 votes.)
(Who will smile in the end?)
(He will quit drinking if the first number is 1.)
(How many people related to a worry about an alcoholic husband?)
(How many people voted?)
(They get over 100 votes.)
151?
161?
(No more alcohol for me.)
(The worry gets 161 votes.)
That's a lot.
This is unbelievable.
My goodness.
(He can't go back on his words.)
Since you promised to quit drinking,
I want to call Geum Sook every week during the closing to go,
"Is he still not drinking? He is still not drinking."
I want to do that every week.
- That's a good idea. - We can even visit them.
That would be nice.
(We will root for you.)
Seriously.
- Are you satisfied with the result? - Yes.
Will you postpone the marriage graduation?
I will give it some thoughts.
Thank you.
This one is about the one-sided love that came after the wedding.
- That's the worry. - My goodness.
Hello. I am a housewife in my 20s.
There is something my six-year-old son says...
all the time.
"Why don't I have a sibling? Give me a sibling."
"Mom, I want a sibling."
I want to give my son a sibling.
However, it's not like I can have a child by myself.
"Honey, honey."
"Gosh, why are you so desperate?"
"Go away."
He does this when I pat his butt.
"Touch your own butt! Don't touch my butt."
What is wrong with him?
"Stop annoying me."
He shoos me away...
like a dirty diaper.
He wasn't like this before we got married.
"Honey, go easy..." Oh, I read it wrong.
- Hold on. - What is wrong with you?
- You are too imaginative. - Seriously.
- You are too excited. - What are you picturing?
His ears are red.
When we were dating... "Honey."
"Honey, hug me gently." He hugged her too tightly.
- He hugged her too tightly. - I see.
We understood it the first time.
He hugged me so tightly that I thought my ribs would break.
These days, he goes, "I don't see you as a woman."
He completely changed.
Until when do I have to continue this one-sided love?
Will I be able to give my son a cute sibling?
- Please help me. - That's the one-sided love.
(Please help me.)
What are your initial thoughts on this worry?
Who was more forward when you were dating?
Both then and now,
Hyung Bin approaches me and hugs me.
However, his style has changed.
- How? - When we were dating,
- he hugged me gently. - That's right.
These days, he grabs my love handles.
- That's why she hates it. - Goodness.
They feel so nice.
How old is your son?
- He is 5 years old. - 5 years old.
- Will you have a second child? - Will you?
Now that our son can talk,
- he keeps saying he wants a baby. - He wants a sibling.
Hyung Bin, what is your opinion?
It's embarrassing to talk about this matter.
He must be embarrassed.
(Laughing)
- This is... - I am not embarrassed.
Why would you be embarrassed?
Who else would we ask this kind of a question?
GFriend?
SinB, when will you have your second child?
That's just wrong.
You are right.
Imagine that your husband treats you this way.
- My pride would be hurt. - That's right.
I think a married couple...
should build walls around them and protect each other.
I don't understand why they built walls...
- between them. - That's right.
This woman sent us a worry...
because her husband refuses physical contact.
Please come on out.
(Whose husband avoids her?)
(Yu Na Gyeom)
Hello, I am from Gangneung.
I am a 28-year-old, Yu Na Gyeom.
- Welcome. - She got married early.
When did you get married?
- You got married at the age of 22. - That's right.
- I am jealous. - It's good to marry young.
You and your husband are quarreling...
over the matter of having a second child.
I want to have a second child as soon as possible.
- I see. - However, it's not like...
I can have a baby by myself.
- There is a requirement. - That's right.
Moms say this to each other...
when they are planning to have a second child.
"Wait until the night falls..."
"and climb on top of your husband." They say that.
- Do moms say that to each other? - My goodness.
- Who do you hang out with? - My goodness.
- Who do you hang out with? - Do moms say that to each other?
Those conversations come up when you are married.
- That's right. - "You should try harder."
I tried my best. Before my husband got home,
I prepared beer...
and wore sexy clothes.
- My goodness. - I waited for him,
but the moment he came home and saw me,
he headed straight to the bedroom.
He must have been scared.
- You set up the mood. - "He must have been scared."
Does something like that scare you?
(He doesn't know how I feel.)
When you do household chores together,
you end up touching.
He and I were cooking...
when we reached for the turner at the same time.
- The turner. - When he touched my hand,
he glared at me and said, "Let's eat."
Then he left.
When you take a selfie together,
you put your arms around each other. Is he okay with that?
One time, I went to a quaint cafe with my husband.
When I put my arm around him,
he pushed me a little. I became so annoyed...
that I pulled him towards me and took a picture.
He said, "For goodness' sake!" Then he pushed me in the cafe.
- Really? - Yes.
- Did he get angry? - Yes.
Does he never touch you?
He doesn't touch a hair on me.
(My goodness.)
- Don't you sleep together? - Do you sleep separately?
We did make a promise before we got married...
to sleep in one bed even if we get into a fight.
Because of that promise, we simply sleep.
I watched him as he slept...
- one time. - How cute!
He must have felt my gaze.
He was so surprised to see me...
that he pushed me and told me to go away.
Was there an incident that made him become this way?
Did he suddenly become this way?
- There could be a reason. - That's right.
There wasn't an incident.
- You don't remember anything. - No.
What's his problem?
(I don't know why he avoids me.)
There is something that stresses me out these days.
We raise a former stray dog and a golden retriever.
When he comes home,
he hugs the golden retriever.
- He only does it to the dog. - Yes.
- He hugs the dog. - He is obsessed with the dog.
When I go to get a hug,
his face hardens.
- You are less than a dog. - Seriously.
"Am I less than a dog?"
Then he goes, "Let's eat."
How do you act cute?
I just go, "Honey."
That's cute!
How do you say, "Give me a hug"?
Give me a hug.
- She is cute! - Kyeong Mi is two-faced.
When I go, "Honey,"
she goes, "Let go."
She does that.
- For goodness' sake. - Really?
I act differently on TV.
Okay.
We need to listen to her, you fool!
"You fool!"
(You are right.)
Let's talk to Na Gyeom's husband.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
(Who avoids his wife's touch?)
Please stand up for a second. I want to take a look at you.
- Please turn around. - He has a big build.
- He has a big build. - He has nice hips.
- Look at his hips. - He has nice hips.
You understand your wife's worry, right?
I think she is being immature.
- What? - I am...
Did you really push her and tell her to go away...
when you found her staring at you in your sleep?
I don't remember it because I was half-asleep.
Were you drunk?
(The icon of drinking appears once again.)
He is shown on the screen when the topic of drinking comes up.
Do you hate physical contact with your wife?
- Why do you act that way? - I am tired these days.
When I go home, I want to eat and rest.
How about the golden retriever?
Even though you are tired, you hug the dog.
The dog welcomes me like crazy.
I don't know...
Why didn't you welcome him like crazy?
I don't have a tail.
(If only I had a tail...)
- What? - "I don't have a tail."
She can't shake a tail she doesn't have.
It's Dad. It's Dad.
(Lifting up)
Do you think you are a baby?
Even I don't get a hug. Are you happy?
Are you happy?
If only you had a tail...
Do you feel burdened...
when your wife wants physical contact?
I do.
I have a child.
People told me not to look at her giving childbirth.
- That's right. - They told me that...
I would see her more as a mom than a woman...
and become less interested in physical contact.
They tell you to talk to each other before childbirth.
Did something happen...
that put you off physical contact?
No, nothing happened.
It's a man's instinct.
I do have that instinct, but I don't act upon it.
(He should act upon it.)
Is it only on your mind?
- Why don't you act upon it? - There must be a bigger story.
Why don't you act upon it?
There must be a bigger story.
Tell us. We will give you a hug.
- Tell us. - Seriously.
I am an honorary ambassador for Korean Urological Association.
- I am serious. - It suits you.
(It's the perfect position.)
I know.
Is your job physically demanding?
I come home late.
Since I come home late at night, I get very tired.
Some people are more energetic in the morning.
(Why don't you become a morning person?)
In the morning?
You should be clear about your physical condition.
Draw the line.
In terms of physical condition,
I am healthy.
How can we check that?
How can we check that here?
No. No. That's not it.
He doesn't even touch his wife.
How can he check if he's healthy?
Do you want to see it?
She wants to be touchy.
But you criticize her that she's crazy about men.
Don't you think that's too harsh?
I don't remember saying that.
- Were you drunk? - Were you drunk?
I think I was drunk.
(We are reminded of him.)
It's funny.
(It's as if this story is about him.)
I don't remember it well.
Girls are like this.
I know that he's not the same as when we were dating.
I know. Sometimes...
when I see someone and say "She's so pretty,"
- he tells me, "You're prettier." - That's right.
Although I know that he doesn't really mean it,
- I really appreciate it. - It's sweet of him.
No, I actually mean it.
(You are actually prettier.)
(Well done, Hyung Bin.)
(He's proud of himself.)
- He's good at flattery. - We are sorry.
Hyung Bin is known for being really smart.
So even if you don't feel like touching her,
you could say sweet things to her. Girls love that.
Why don't you do that?
I am not good at expressing my feelings.
But you weren't like that when you were dating
You weren't like that when you were dating.
Why did you touch her so much when you were dating?
At the time, I was very passionate.
- You are 28 now. - You are 28.
See? He must have a problem.
A problem.
(My goodness.)
Couples casually touch each other.
- Married couples do that. - Do you hate that too?
I feel like she's my little sister.
- You already feel that way. - You have to try.
If you don't try, it will only get harder.
You are only 28.
- You are so young. - If you are 28... My gosh.
(He's lost for words.)
- He's in his prime. - He is.
Do you think your wife...
is like a fish you've already caught?
(People hate it.)
(He's scared.)
A lot of girls hate that.
Is it because you know that she's yours now?
Is it because you are relieved?
It's not like that.
Then why do you do that?
- I don't understand him. - Wait.
Does she really feel like your little sister?
She does. She's like my family.
He says you are like his sister. How does that make you feel?
(What does she think about it?)
He always says...
that we are like comrades.
But he didn't even serve the army.
(He doesn't know anything about comradeship.)
(That's a big twist.)
Did he not serve the army?
(Kyung Ho teases him.)
So how... One time we met up with his friends.
And he said, "She doesn't excite me."
- He said that to his friends? - Yes. In front of everyone.
- No way. - He said in front of his friends.
(Did he act rude in front of friends?)
- That really hurt my pride. - Did he really say that?
Why would you say something so hurtful?
I must've drunk three bottles of soju. I don't remember it.
(We are reminded of this man again.)
You keep saying that.
He keeps saying he doesn't remember anything.
Tell us based on your experience.
- You remember, don't you? - He must remember.
(He's the true scene-stealer.)
You have to remember it.
(He's too mean.)
Right. I knew it.
- He was lying. - He was.
I don't understand this.
Why do you like him? What do you like about him?
When we were dating, even though it lasted only short,
he gave me so much love.
So I expect him to be as sweet as he once was one day.
- I can't forget the feeling... - The feeling.
I felt when I held his hands.
It seems like a distant memory.
When was the last time you held hands?
- I don't remember. - You don't remember.
You never hold hands.
It must've been such a long time.
Why do you think he is like that?
You must've seen them when they were dating.
We are high school friends, so I've seen everything.
My friend has been pretty since high school.
That's why he must've wanted her.
But now, like what Kyung Ho said,
he treats her like the fish he has caught.
He changed too much.
(She's upset that he changed too much.)
In school,
between him and her,
wasn't she much more popular?
Honestly, yes.
But my friend was...
(That explained everything.)
We get you.
We asked her...
to bring their old phone.
- Do they still have that? - We checked their messages.
- Do they still have that? - Are those evidences?
They brought them here.
No way.
- My goodness. - Let's take a look.
"Honey."
("It's snowing, honey. Please run to my arms.")
(But she only replied with a short message.)
- "I'll always be next to you." - He used to be more affectionate.
"I'll always be next to you."
You say those things when you are dating.
"I will kiss you..."
"even if your skin becomes like bread crust."
"Even if your skin becomes like bread crust".
Even if her skin gets rugged, he would kiss her.
How can you compare the food to rugged skin?
- How dare you? - "Are you okay?"
- Don't you agree, Yua? - I'm not sure.
(She's Yuju.)
- Even if your tummy... - "Yuju".
"Even if your tummy and hips get fat..."
- "Even if you get triple chins..." - How do you feel now?
We had just started to date.
What is your plan for a second child?
- Having a second child... - You're pressured.
- Yes. - It's realistically difficult.
Giving birth is not everything.
It's not like the child can grow on his own.
I need to be financially stable and have enough time to spare.
When we had our first child, she showed signs of premature labor.
So she had to stay at the hospital for about two months.
I was young, and I didn't have a good job.
So we got a lot of loans.
And we struggled financially.
I don't want to repeat that mistake.
How can a 28-year-old be so mature?
Did you tell your wife this?
- No. - I think he didn't.
- I guess you don't talk much. - If you...
- Don't you talk to each other? - If you don't talk...
I work as a driver at night.
When I come home after work, it's 3am.
- You are too tired. - We don't have time to talk.
I feel tired, so I just go straight to bed.
He works hard.
How long does your husband work a day?
He works from 10am to 3am.
- He starts at 10am. - My gosh.
- My gosh. - That's more than 12 hours.
- That's why he passes out. - He works too hard.
It might be pressuring for him to be touchy.
When you work that much, don't you get worn out?
You get really exhausted.
When you are tired...
But the more tired you are... Never mind.
- It depends on people. - It depends on people.
I was really surprised today.
If I met a guy like him, I would've gotten married early.
If I met someone who is...
- Right. - very responsible.
I am really surprised. He's unlike other young men.
I am really surprised.
- I think he's very surprised too. - It seems so.
(I was even more surprised.)
You have to be thankful to your wife.
Most people are busy playing until 3am.
Have you seen a 28-year-old who works as hard as him?
- He's young. - Right.
Even when he comes home, he doesn't boast about it.
He quietly comes home and doesn't wake up his family.
He just gets welcomed by his puppy.
Doesn't he deserve to be applauded?
- He deserves it. - My goodness.
- Right. - Right.
He says he's...
financially too difficult.
But that's how it should be.
You are 28, and you have a 6-year-old child.
Even if people who are 28 and not married...
are struggling from finding a job.
You are supposed to struggle.
You are supposed to be struggling financially.
You think your life is hard.
But you are ahead of others.
You should enjoy it. You will be at an advantage later.
Yes.
He works really long hours.
Since I rarely get to see him, I wait for him to come home.
- I put the baby to bed and... - That's sweet.
- You love your husband. - I wait for him...
and when he comes home, I stick my head out to see him.
And I see him holding the dog.
The dog is the problem.
The dog has no fault.
(He's the host of "Animal Farm".)
He loves his dog.
When do you feel the saddest?
I am suffering from a subtle panic disorder.
My husband is the only person I can rely on.
So I want to rely on him.
But my husband keeps pushing me away.
You should comfort her and embrace her even more,
although I know how tough your life is.
I am not good at expressing my emotions.
You don't regret marrying her, do you?
We would've split up if I did.
Are you never going to touch your wife?
When things become more stable...
(He needs his situation to become more stable first.)
- You will touch her afterwards. - You have to be stable first.
- What is that? - That answer is...
Do you need a plan for that?
Let's say you work really hard...
and become successful after several years.
"I should express my love."
"What's wrong with me?"
- That might happen. - Why are you doing that?
(In the end, it's about his mindset.)
- I'll try. - You should start trying today.
I will get it done tonight.
- He will get it done tonight. - He will get it done tonight.
- He will get it done tonight. - It's solved.
(Congratulations!)
The problem is solved.
Why don't you use this opportunity...
to tell her that you love her? Tell her how much you love her.
I think men from Gangwon Province are bad at expressing themselves.
Men from Gangwon Province?
I dated a guy from there and he couldn't express his feelings.
Even men from Gyeongsang Province...
I dated a guy from there and he couldn't express his feelings.
- He didn't? - No.
Did he know that you two were dating?
(Was he on the same page as her?)
He might have thought differently.
- Gangwon Province... - He might have thought differently.
(So it was just me.)
Why don't you hug her?
(Please express your love.)
(She's excited.)
- Please come on out. - Come on out.
Men love being loved...
- by their wife. - They look...
- You married well. - Tell her that...
- and hug her. - Tell her you love her.
- She's embarrassed. - Tell her.
They are blushing.
- They must be nervous. - Isn't it making you nervous?
I am sorry about everything that happened.
- Look at her. - Look at her.
(He's struggling.)
(It's as if he's seen the Grim Reaper.)
- What was that? - What's wrong?
Tell her you love her the most in this world.
Tell her how much you love her.
I love you to the moon and back.
- Hug her tightly. - Hug her tightly.
Tightly. Her ribs will break.
- Kiss. Kiss. - Kiss. Kiss.
- This is so fun. - Kiss. Kiss.
- Kiss. - You are married.
(I envy you.)
They are lovely.
You got to kiss him and look him in the eyes.
How was hugging him and kissing him?
I love it. I love it.
She's really happy.
- She's really happy. - She's really happy.
- What do you want to tell him? - You can tell me anything.
Please see me not as a mom but as a woman.
I love you.
(It's time to vote.)
I hope you will think and work this out together.
I don't think it's a worry.
I was so jealous. I was so jealous of her.
She loves the person she should love.
That's something amazing.
It's unfortunate to loathe someone you should love.
- How fortunate is it? - They are lovely.
- They are lovely. - I don't think it's a worry.
I also don't think it's a worry.
I hope you will hug her before you sleep...
so that she feels loved.
I hope you will passionately touch each other.
- I think it's a worry. - What?
(Hyung Bin thinks it's a worry.)
(That was a shocking twist.)
He's strangely charming.
- He surprised us. - He really did.
I don't think it's a worry. Things are going to happen...
starting tonight.
If you think it's a worry for her,

Starting today, I will try my best...
so that you won't feel sad about not being touched.
- You'll hug her. - At 3am...

It's titled, "My Husband's Passionate Weekend".
Hello.
I'm a housewife who's been married for 13 years.
Every weekend,
my husband sleeps out without feeling guilty at all.
He leaves home on Friday and comes home around 5pm on Sunday.
"I'm home."
I am so tired from staying up all night.
He's always exhausted when he comes home.
He's a night fishing addict.
As soon as we came back from honeymoon...
- Honeymoon? - "I'm going night fishing."
"You can sleep alone, right?"
He went night fishing and slept out.
Since then, I'm alone on every weekend.
"Did your husband sleep out again?"
"Could he be cheating on you?"
People are always suspicious of that.
"Is Dad not here again?"
"He must've gone fishing again.
Even our children are used to not having their father around.
"Don't you think this is too much? Let's just get divorced."
I threatened him, but he didn't change at all.
We never spend weekends together anymore,
and we want to get our weekends back through Hello.
Please help me.
(She wants her husband back on weekends.)
- I... - Hyung Bin.
learned how addicting...
fishing can be.
Gyeong Gyu really loves fishing.
We once went to Gangwon Province on a fishing trip.
We spent all night fishing, and we didn't get to wash ourselves.
But we didn't catch any fish.
- All night. - All night. We didn't sleep.
That happens.
On the way home, he was really upset.
(He was really upset about it.)
"That place is..."
"I think Chungcheong Province would have a lot of fish."
"Let's go to Chungcheong Province, Hyung Bin."
We went straight to Chungcheong Province the next morning.
Why didn't you take her with you?
- What? - She loves fishing.
- I used to love fishing. - Did you?
Yes. You know now. You know now.
I am learning a lot of things here.
Because of her husband who's crazy about fishing,
she always spends weekends without him. Please welcome her.
(Who is the lady worried about her fishing addict husband?)
(Kim Se Jin)
She's from Busan.
You said your husband goes fishing every weekend.
How bad is he?
On Fridays, he goes fishing straight after work.
- He packs his bag ahead of time. - He doesn't stop at the house.
He packs his bag on Thursday.
He packs everything on Thursday night.
- He goes fishing straight. - He goes straight there.
And he comes home around 5pm on Sunday.
He's married, and yet he always sleeps out.
So it's making me suspect that he's cheating on me.
In the early days,
- I even checked his underwear. - That's understandable.
- That's understandable. - But he comes home like a beggar.
- Right. - So you're relieved.
- I don't think he's cheating. - He's not cheating.
She's not worried about him cheating on her.
When did he start going night fishing?
As soon as you got married?
Even when we were dating, he went night fishing.
- He always loved fishing. - I sometimes tagged along.
Does he not go fishing on weekdays?
On weekdays, he cleans his fishing rods and watches fishing channel.
- Fishing channel. - Yes.
- Everything is about fishing. - He watches fishing channel.
(It's frustrating.)
Did he really go fishing right after returning from honeymoon?
- Yes. - Did he go night fishing?
As soon as we came back from our one-week-long honeymoon,
he went night fishing for two days.
Since then he's been going every week.
- We didn't have children then. - Right.
After I gave birth, I was recovering.
- When you were recovering? - When his baby was born...
I can't call it his baby but... I just had given birth.
He still went fishing.
- It's his baby. - It's his baby.
It's our baby.
- It was your baby. - It was our baby.
When his friends started fishing on a boat,
he bought a boat.
- He bought a boat? - He bought a boat?
How much is a boat?
He became a captain?
- He bought a boat. - A boat.
- He bought a boat. - When did he buy it?
He bought it about 3 to 4 years ago.
(Oh, dear.)
I asked him how much he paid for the boat.
He said he paid about 4,000 dollars.
- I think it could've been more. - It must've been more.
- He must've lied. - He has a boat and fishing gears.
- And? - He's got all the fishing gears.
But he keeps buying more.
- He keeps getting more. - He keeps buying more.
We...
(She's irritated already.)
We have two cars.
And he bought a car just for fishing.
It's for the equipment.
- He can load equipment on it. - A car just for fishing?
And he can go fishing any time.
Gyeong Gyu doesn't have that, does he?
He doesn't buy those things.
He makes friends who have those things.
- He's wise. - He's wise.
- He's wise. - He becomes friends with...
someone who has a car and all the equipment.
(It's funny.)
At night, it can suddenly rain.
Right. Because...
he does it outdoor,
I am worried about him getting swept away.
- He's always on a boat. - Right.
It might get swept away or get flipped.
- He could fall in the water too. - The rain storm might hit.
- Right. - It might be windy too.
It's fine if he's in good health.
But one time he was wearing a cast.
He goes fishing even when he's wearing a cast.
- He must love it so much. - He must love it so much.
He must be really addicted.
- He's addicted. - He still wanted to go.
Why don't you talk to him seriously?
Tell him that this is too harsh for the family.
We fight so much.
We nearly signed the divorce papers.
One time, he said he was going to work on weekends.
But when he came back, his face was red.
- He didn't go to work. - His neck was burnt too.
He went out saying he was going to work.
- But he came back looking red. - His neck was burnt too.
I checked the history of the expressway pass card.
It turned out he went fishing.
- He lied to you. - Yes.
Trust is really important, but I felt so betrayed.
I went and got divorce papers.
- Were you really going to do it? - I really wanted to divorce him.
- Really? - Yes.
How could I live with him when he lost my trust?
(She was engulfed by the sense of betrayal.)
Let's meet her night fishing addict husband. Hello.
Hello.
My goodness.
- He looks like a good man. - If you didn't come here,
you would've been fishing.
Yes. I've already been.
It was originally going to last for 3 days.
But because of the shoot, I changed it to 2 days.
Do you understand your wife's concern?
I understand it, but I need to rest.
And I need ways to de-stress.
I hope she will understand me.
Don't you think she would be stressed too?
(How about your wife then?)
I'm sure she gets stressed.
I think it's bad that you went fishing straight...
after coming back from honeymoon.
While preparing for the wedding,
you can't go fishing for weeks.
That's why. I missed the fun.
Then why do you go fishing at night?
Is there something about fishing at night?
I only catch big fish.
- Tide? - Big fish.
- Big fish? - Yes.
I target carps over 30cm.
- So I can only fish at night. - Right.
Unfortunately, I have no choice but to fish at night only.
You wouldn't just look at your fishing rod all night long.
What do you do all night?
I set 10 fishing rods,
and I wait.
My father used to like fishing.
I used to follow him when I was young.
He's fishing alone when I'm sitting next to him.
I get bored.
He has to stay up all night since it's night fishing,
but there's no place to sleep.
I don't get many bites since I only target big fish.
So I cook ramyeon, drink coffee,
and listen to music.
Do you enjoy the silence?
Yes. I'm on the boat alone.
I don't need to care about anything else.
(Then marry fishing.)
- You said you set 10 fishing rods. - Yes.
As far as I know, you need quite a big boat...
to set 10 fishing rods.
My goodness.
Is that your fishing boat?
That's cool.
That's like a bunker.
It looks like a rubber boat.
It is.
- It's a rubber boat? - It's cool.
- That's cool. - That's cool.
It is cool.
- It is cool. - Do you just...
watch the fishing rods and sleep on that chair?
When I close the tent...
and pull the chair out, I get enough space for my own.
- He's a real fisherman. - Yes.
He enjoys it.
He looks like an army.
- It must be the car. - It's enough for two people.
Right. That's what you need.
That's the car.
It's packed.
That's the car you need.
(Sighing)
How much did it cost you?
I think it cost 10,000 dollars excluding the car.
Come on.
- It's true. - You mean over 10,000 dollars?
- Pardon? - It's not below, but over.
- Over. - See? Over 10,000 dollars.
Because he keeps making purchases.
Did you ever have any dangerous moments?
Unless the storm flips the boat.
The water level keeps rising when it rains.
Then it floats together.
(That's absurd.)
He rises when the water level rises.
- Isn't it obvious? - Yes.
I heard you got a cast.
Aren't you supposed to rest instead of fishing if you're injured?
Fishing means resting to me.
(Fishing is resting.)
- It's his time alone. - Yes.
When I got a cast,
it was my left leg.
I had no problem driving.
You could still drive.
Do you catch a lot?
I think I'm pretty good.
- Pretty good. - Pretty good.
When I don't catch anything,
I don't catch anything for three days.
When I'm good, I catch more than 30 carps.
- I caught quite a lot. - Are those what you caught?
(Abundant)
(He's pretty good.)
- He's pretty good. - After you catch it...
- He brings everything home. - How big are they?
- He brings it home. - He washes it in the bathtub.
- In the bathtub? - Yes.
There will be scales everywhere.
- It stinks a lot. - It stinks.
The whole house stinks for a few days.
- He also keeps it in the freezer. - When do you finish it?
Then it takes up space in the freezer and stinks.
It's good that you have a habit,
but I think your family...
may be disappointed.
Actually I used to go fishing once every two weeks.
The reason I go fishing every weekend lately is...
because my son goes to an academy every Saturday.
He spends all day there with my wife.
I think that's my chance.
That's...
When I take my second son,
- I have to leave my first son home. - Yes.
When we leave home at 1pm,
we come home around 8pm.
He's only an elementary school student. He needs to eat too.
- I expect my husband... - To take care of your son?
And work out with him too.
- I want him to spend time with him. - Of course.
But he says there's nothing to do.
How about he takes his son to the fishing area?
We've been there a few times before.
- And? - Doesn't he like it?
He got sick of it...
after a few times.
- It's boring. - It's boring.
It's not that it's boring.
He only took him twice in more than a decade.
- Only twice in more than a decade? - Yes.
He needs to watch them when they go with him.
It's a hassle to him, so he doesn't take them with him.
(It's a hassle to babysit.)
How do you feel when your father...
goes fishing every weekend?
Mom and my brother have to go to the academy on Saturday,
so I'm home alone. I feel lonely,
and bored,
but he only goes fishing.
How about going fishing with him?
It was fun at first,
but the next time I followed him, he only slept.
He only fishes and sleeps. It was boring.
Why was it fun the first time?
It was fun to ride the boat and watch him catching fish,
but in my second time, fish looked disgusting.
They keep jumping.
He's sick of it.
When you followed your dad to fishing,
was there anything you expected?
I just wanted to talk to him.
(Talking with Dad)
Oh, my.
What did you want to talk about?
About school.
- About friends? - Yes.
Your dad returns home around 5pm on Sunday.
Do you get to talk to him when he comes home?
No, he goes to the sauna.
He doesn't talk much in the sauna.
We don't have much time to talk.
Can you say what you wanted to tell your dad now?
- It's your chance now. - Yes.
Do it now.
Dad. I've been doing well at school,
and I'm doing fine on my own.
So you don't need to worry about me.
That's the end of conversation.
(That was fast.)
That's why he goes fishing.
He's pretty much saying he'll take care of himself.
- Don't worry. I'm doing fine. - I'm doing fine.
Unless...
you build the family bond since you're young...
- and have conversation, - Right.
it feels really weird to be with each other.
Even though it's someone you love the most in the world.
He's going through puberty. There are things he can't tell me.
- Right. - Men's story.
Right.
But his dad is always absent.
He doesn't even think about talking to his dad.
He needs to talk to him, but he has never done that before.
Let's meet their adorable second son.
- He keeps crossing his arms. - So cute.
- He's so quiet. - He's cute.
What do you think of your dad going fishing every weekend?
I'm worried.
What are you worried about?
I'm afraid the boat might sink.
Your friends spend a lot of time with their dads.
Do you get upset because you don't get to spend time with him?
Yes. I'm a bit upset.
- I want to ride a bicycle with him. - What else?
See?
What was the most exciting thing you did with Dad?
The time I went fishing with Dad.
Why don't you go with him again?
I have to go fishing... Not fishing.
I have to go to the academy by 7am every Saturday.
What do you learn?
Acting.
- Acting? - Acting.
- Acting? - No wonder he talks well.
- No wonder he's smart. - I know.
Have you ever memorized a line and acted?
- Yes. - Show me.
- Do you remember it? - What do you remember?
- No. - Nothing?
- No. - You're a good actor.
Then let me give you something.
He's pretending he doesn't know.
Let's act.
- Acting on the spot. - Your dad is...
- going fishing on the weekends. - Okay.
But you want to spend the weekend as a whole family.
Dad. Don't go fishing. Stay with us.
You're asking him, okay?
Okay. Standby. Go.
Dad. Don't go fishing. Play with us.
You need to beg him.
(You need to beg him.)
Cry as you say it.
Don't go fishing.
(Crying scene)
- Play with us. - So cute.
- Standby. - Put up with him, sir.
- Go. - Go.
I'm still going.
Dad. Don't go fishing. Play with me.
- That's good. - Please.
"Please."
- Please. - Okay.
(He has the talent.)
He's talented.
- I thought he was rapping. - He has the talent.
- That was funny. - Reply back to him, sir.
- He's pretty good. - Okay.
What? What did he say?
- He said okay. - "Okay."
Is that all?
He's such a terrible actor.
I understand this because...
my son's five years old, and he asks me to read him a story before sleep.
He gives me the plot.
Grandma crab, grandpa crab, uncle crab, mom crab,
baby crab. They're going on a trip.
Then I have to make up a story.
- You have to make one up. - Yes.
Making crab stew?
He asks me for another story.
He gives me the characters.
Grandma crab, mom crab, baby crab.
The third story, there are uncle crab, mom crab, baby crab,
- but dad crab never appears. - Oh, right.
There's no dad crab.
I've been making the story for two months now.
When I was talking to the writer, I was shocked.
- You finally realized it? - You realize it now.
Hyung Bin.
Your child thinks...
your absence is normal.
I didn't know about this before.
You both didn't know until you got here.
- You should talk to him more often. - I'm shocked.
Recently I was shocked because...
I tell him I'm leaving for work,
and he'd be like...
"Bye. See you tomorrow."
- He lets me go. - He's used to it.
He's very used to it.
I felt sorry and sad at the same time.
One of my son's friends' father works in Japan.
I play with him sometimes.
His name is Ji Won. I'd call him, "Ji Won."
"Don't call me friendly. You remind me of Dad."
- Really? - The kid said that?
Yes, he said that.
I realized that his dad's absence was overwhelming to him.
Don't call him affectionately.
But I can't say, "Hey! Go outside and play!"
To someone else's child.
- I see. - Right.
- He misses his dad so much. - Of course.
- Right. - That's a sad story.
What are the difficulties due to your husband's absence?
- Is he interested in it? - These days, couples go around...
- together to find a good school... - That's right.
and discuss about books for their children.
But he said, "Since you're good at doing things like that, you do it."
- He left it to you. - You should do it with her.
He was simply indifferent.
You must have been disappointed.
My wife is very enthusiastic about our children's education.
She's interested in it and good at taking care of that matter.
So I fully trusted and left it to her.
(He's more shameless than anyone else.)
- In winter... - Most husbands think that way.
You can't go fishing in winter, right?
I can't go fishing as a reservoir is frozen in winter.
- In winter... - Is he a good dad...
- in winter? - He goes ice fishing in winter.
- He goes ice fishing? - "Ice fishing"?
- He goes ice fishing. - Right.
He goes ice fishing instead of fishing at a reservoir?
It's because the reservoir is frozen in winter.
What's biggest problem, ma'am?
I had postpartum depression after I gave birth to my eldest child.
However, I haven't completely recovered from it.
I'm still having therapies and taking medications.
My husband says he can't understand why I'm still sick...
when he couldn't find any reason for it.
- She must be disappointed. - I raised our children until now.
I sometimes end up taking my stress out on my children.
Did you know that your wife was suffering like this?
I always feel apologetic towards her for that.
At first, I took her to a clinic to help her recover from it,
but as it lasted longer than I expected,
I became a little indifferent and insensitive about it.
Since she has so much anger built up inside,
she keeps shivering.
That shows how stressed she's been until now.
Raising children by herself...
I'd like to say something to you, sir.
You said that you trust your wife...
because she's good at doing things, so you leave it to her.
It seems to us that you just put the burden on your wife.
- He put the burden on her. - You should know that.
(Think how hard it must be for your wife.)
Tell your husband what you want him to do.
Look at him.
I won't ask you not to go fishing because I know you're stressed out.
I want you to go fishing once in two months...
and spend some time with the kids.
She needs her husband right now, right?
Yes, she needs her husband.
(Mom is crying.)
You go fishing every weekend.
It could be hard for him...
- to make it once in two months. - He's crying.
How about once a month?
Would you be okay with it?
(Nodding)
I think she's not happy with it.
- That can't be good enough. - It's because...
she's suffering from depression right now,
so she needs her husband more than ever...
- That's right. - whatever happens in the future.
Also, both of their sons need their dad...
- more than ever. - Of course.
That's why she desperately hopes that her husband stays with them.
- They're sons, not daughters. - Yes.
Listening to her here made me realize...
that I've been too inconsiderate.
I will go fishing only once a month from now on.
After this episode airs,
we'll check if you quit drinking,
check if you go fishing only once a month, and...
Well, it will be hard for us to check on their change.
(It'd be inappropriate to ask that.)
(Please keep your promise.)
We can't just ask them.
Let's ask the guests first. Kyung Ho, do you think it's a worry?
I believe they can resolve the problem through discussion.
So I don't think it's a worry.
You can channel your passion for fishing...
- into your children. - I see.
So I don't think it's a worry. I think he has a bigger problem.
I think I have to make an effort.
I think you have to make an effort too.
So I think it's a worry.
I tried to think about it in his wife's shoes,
and I think it's definitely a worry.
If your family is suffering because of your hobby,
it's an addiction, not a hobby.
I hope you'll fix it from now on.
- Exactly. - Can I push it now?
- Yes, you can. - It's a worry.
Right.
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 family as the head of the family.
I've been greedy saying that I needed to relieve my stress.
As I promised before, I'll go fishing only once a month...
and spend more time with my family instead.
I'll try hard.
I'm sorry.
(I'm sorry, honey.)
Please show us the result.
(The result)
The last digit is nine.
Is it over 100?
Could it be 169?
(What could be the result?)
The result is... 149.
- She got a lot of votes. - That's a lot.
(She got 149 votes.)
"Shall I Graduate from Marriage?" is this week's winner.
The winner will receive a cash prize. Congratulations.
Kyung Ho, how was being on this show today?
I still feel...
- Why are you sitting like this? - He looks..
- He was sitting like a woman. - I'm sorry.
- That was too much. - What was that?
I hope all of them will keep their promises.
Thank you. Kyeong Mi, you came on the show with your husband.
We heard a lot of good advice that could help my husband.
I had such a great time.
I was uncomfortable the whole time.
Based on what I learned today, I'll be a better husband.
- I wish you two happiness. - Thank you for coming today.
Until the day we are all worry-free.
Hello will continue to counsel you.
Thank you!
