(National Competition on Worries)
We will introduce today's guests.
Seung Kwan and Hoshi of Seventeen.
(Seung Kwan and Hoshi of Seventeen)
A talented male duo,
Gilgubonggu.
- Hello. - Hello.
TV personality, Jeong Ga Eun.
Hello. Hello.
- Gil Gu tried really hard. - Right.
He saw Yeong Ja's shirt...
and decided to wear a matching shirt.
(Newlywed couple style)
- By the way... - If I was born as a man,
I would've looked like him.
No.
He can sing very high.
His voice is almost as high as a woman's voice.
I will sing a female singer's song.
("You're the One I Love" by Shin Hyo Bum)
I love you
I love
(His magical voice is sharp yet mellow.)
You will always be
Deep inside my heart
It's Shin Hyo Bum's song.
It sounds like Hyo Bum has smoked two packs of cigarette.
- That' how it sounds. - By the way,
- Seung Kwan is good at it too. - No way.
- Can you show us? - I...
What's wrong, Seung Kwan?
He sang way too well.
- But you're even better. - Don't worry.
- No. Because of fine dust... - You can do better.
My throat hurts because of the fine dust.
It's gone really bad.
I will be funny even if I don't sing well. So I'll give it a shot.
I am the lead vocalist, but I'm not in a good shape right now.
- I will try to sing it. - Hoshi, cheer for him.
(Cheering)
That's nice cheering.
("I Will Go to You Like the First Snow" by Ailee)
(He tries to sing as high as Ailee.)
(He lowers the key.)
(He makes a compromise.)
My heart fluttered
I was even jealous
All those ordinary moments
Have disappeared into the darkness
(He soon becomes serious and sings like a lead vocalist.)
You're amazing.
- You're good. - He's good.
- It's because... - It's the fine dust.
It's important that you sing a song within your vocal range.
That's important.
Do you have any worries?
My dog has a strong instinct.
- A strong what? - Instinct.
Is it a male or female?
It's a female dog.
It's a female dog, but it has a strong instinct.
The sex doesn't matter.
My dog is a female dog too,
- but it's like that too. You know? - Right.
So I yelled at her.
"None of us has a husband!"
"Just get over it."
- "Get over it." - She should get over it.
Her mom is single, and so is she.
Two weeks ago, we had a guest who complained about...
her drinking husband.
(He drank 365 days a year and had violent drinking habits.)
(He said he would quit drinking if she gets more than 100 votes.)
I will give it a try.
(After 23 years of drinking,)
(he declared to the entire nation that he would quit drinking.)
Oh, dear.
For two weeks,
he has never had a sip of alcohol.
(He succeeded to quit drinking for three weeks.)
- He's amazing. - We will all cheer for him.
We have three worries again.
Let's find out what they are. Show us the keywords.
(The keywords are revealed.)
The three are, "Mom's Wish",
"I Get Treated Like Dog Poop",
and "Nuisance of My Life".
This is "Mom's Wish".
I am a mother in her 50s who always cries...
because of her son.
Since elementary school,
he was studious, good at taekwondo,
and the game of go.
He was good at everything.
Just looking at him made me feel full.
He turned 19 now, and I still feel full.
Why am I full? It's because...
I get so many complaints. I feel so full.
"Yes, ma'am. I am Byung Gwan's teacher."
(He's tongue is twisted.)
Why can't I pronounce the word?
- "I am Byung Gwan's teacher." - Teacher.
What's wrong with you? Your father was a school principal.
- Don't try to do it well. - Okay.
"I am Byung Gwan's teacher."
"Your son got caught smoking at school."
"This is the first warning."
"Ma'am. Your son got a second warning."
"Ma'am, This is the last warning."
"If he gets caught again, he will be forced to transfer."
When he was a sophomore,
he ended up getting kicked out of the school.
He somehow managed to transfer to another high school.
"Hello, your son missed too many classes."
"And he won't be able to become a senior."
"Ma'am,"
"your son is going to get expelled for infringement of teachers right."
Now the only things I am left with are his school uniforms and sighs.
"Please just graduate high school. It's my wish."
"All right. All right."
"Then do something for me."
"Give me 200 dollars to buy sneakers."
Please help my son get on the right track.
(She's asking help to get her son on the right track.)
The members of Seventeen graduated high school just recently.
You quit smoking as you were graduating high school, right?
(He teases them.)
- I don't smoke. - There are boys like that.
(Think of your school friends.)
Think of your friends who used to be like him...
and please give useful insights.
Let's bring her in.
Please come on out.
(Who's the mother who's frustrated by her troublesome son?)
(Kim Geum Yi)
She's here.
(Seventeen goes to greet her.)
(Hold our hands.)
(My goodness.)
(They are gentlemen.)
Please tell us about the current situation.
Is he enrolled in school or not?
He hasn't been going to school since April.
Did he choose not to go? Or did he get expelled?
He got expelled.
He lives in the internet cafe.
- Internet cafe. - Internet cafe.
So...
Why did he get expelled?
He possessed cigarette.
So as the teacher was confiscating it,
my son defied him.
Did he defy the teacher?
He asked him to return the cigarette and told him not to touch his thing.
Then he spilled a pot on his desk.
(He spilled a pot on his desk.)
So they expelled him for infringement of teachers right.
Right. You usually don't...
get expelled for...
- possessing cigarette. - Right.
Did you go to the school...
- and beg for mercy? - So I...
quit my job and begged the teacher.
I begged them to let him graduate the school.
I begged,
so they allowed him to transfer to another school.
- Transfer. - Instead of getting expelled,
- he was told to transfer. - Right.
Is he looking for a school to transfer to?
When I asked him if he was going to transfer to another school,
he said he was going to take the qualification exam.
He said, "I won't go!"
(It's too frustrating.)
I heard he studied well until he was in middle school.
Right.
He ranked within the 10th in his class.
He used to study well.
And he's a taekwondo black belt holder.
(Yeong Ja responds enthusiastically.)
And he's a ninth-grade go player.
- He's good. - Really?
What happened to him then?
- I know. - He's got...
- many talents. - Also, he weighed 5kg at birth.
5kg?
He was a big baby.
When a baby weighs 3.5kg,
he's considered very healthy.
I was 4.5kg.
- I was 4.3kg. - He...
- He was a super baby. - He was 5kg.
He was healthy and talented.
You must've given him much love.
What happened to him then?
Suddenly he wanted to go to a vocational high school.
- A vocational high school. - Yes.
He had the qualification...
to go to a good college.
I couldn't understand why he wanted to go to a vocational high school.
Perhaps did he want to get a job fast...
and help you out?
It wasn't that.
(Why did he want to go to a vocational high school?)
He said there was a pretty girl there.
He said that school had a pretty girl.
- That school. - Yes.
At the school he wanted to go.
- That's why he wanted to go there. - Then he should go.
(Then he should go there.)
By the way,
was he talking about the girl who was attending that school?
The students from that school visited his school...
and told them what's good about their school.
They advertised their school.
And the girl who represented that school must've been pretty.
- Yes. - They'd send the prettiest one.
Right.
- Of course they do. - Ga Eun,
haven't you promoted your school too?
I got my face done...
after I graduated school.
She's so honest.
(She's such an honest girl.)
So did he end up enrolling in that school?
Yes. But...
the cigarette incident happened there.
- He hit three strikes. - Yes, he did.
The school told him to transfer to another school.
So I need to get him another set of uniforms.
- Uniforms are expensive. - Because I work,
I can't do the laundry often.
So I buy him three sets.
(She buys him three sets so he can change them.)
- So that... - So that he can change them.
- Right. - If he transferred...
3 times, that's already 9 sets of uniforms.
Right.
Are there other family members?
There's my husband,
and there's my daughter who's eight years older than Byung Gwan.
- He's got a sister. - There's a big age gap.
My husband got...
got a heart surgery last year, so he's not in good health.
So I took the matter here as my last resort.
Good job.
We are famous for being the last resort.
That's us.
(I won't miss this chance.)
Let's meet her son...
and ask him why he's doing this.
Hello, son.
Hello.
(Who's her troublesome son?)
What we are most curious about is this.
That girl came to your school to promote her school.
(Did he meet the girl?)
- She was a graduate. - She was a graduate.
(He got very disappointed.)
Did she graduate the school after promoting her school?
She graduated.
Is that when you started to smoke?
Would you have not gone to that school if you knew about it?
No, I wasn't interested in going to a regular school,
so I still would've gone to a vocational school.
- Why? - Why is that?
I am just not interested in going to college.
I think you get found easily.
- What? - Where did you smoke?
I smoked either in the toilet or in the rooftop.
And did your teacher appear out of nowhere?
He saw me on CCTV and ran up to me.
You must've known about the CCTV.
(It's a new world for the old men.)
I thought they wouldn't see me.
Are you stupid or what?
My gosh.
You did something wrong.
So why did you talk back...
Why did you spill the pot? Did he throw it?
- Did you spill it? - Your mom said you spilled it.
I threw it.
- You threw it? - I knew it.
No matter how upset you are, isn't it wrong to do that to your teacher?
It's my fault.
But I was really upset, and I couldn't control my anger.
Did you have a lot of cigarettes?
(Was that the reason?)
No.
That made you upset.
You don't go to school now then.
Do you have any plans?
My mom is against the idea of me taking the qualification exam.
But if she lets me, I want to take the exam.
Do you not like going to school?
It's just that it happened twice.
I feel like it's a waste of time to go back to school.
What do you think about him taking the qualification exam?
It's not that I don't like it.
But both my husband and I...
lived tough lives and didn't graduate school well.
It's my wish to see my son graduate school.
- You yearn for it. - Yes.
But that's your wish.
Right, it is.
But I regret not studying when I was his age.
At the age of 47,
I finished middle school and high school education.
- Did you take the exam? - No.
I attended the school.
Did you graduate from both schools?
- Yes. - Really?
- Middle and high school? - Middle and high school.
Yes. I attended night school. I worked during the day.
You are great.
(She's really great.)
- Bravo. - Are you...
- enrolled in college too then? - Yes.
I am enrolled in a night college.
- Did you enter college? - But then...
you don't need your son to do it for you.
It's different.
(My son is a different problem.)
Also, attending college...
while my son is out of school...
makes me feel guilty.
- You feel guilty. - Yes. I feel guilty.
I feel like I need to leave school for a while.
Did you know about this?
She's thinking of leaving school for a while because she feels guilty.
No. It's my first time hearing it.
I don't think it's necessary for her to stop her education.
Do you want your mom to go to school?
- Do you want her to get a diploma? - Yes.
Speak for yourself.
Your mom is not the problem. You should get a diploma.
(Yeong Ja is the best.)
If you give him permission to take the qualification exam...
and trust him, I think he will work hard.
No. Recently... It happened just recently.
He got caught by police...
while driving a motorcycle without a driver's license.
- So you can't trust him? - I can't.
- She's worried. - I am.
You think it's all words.
- You think he won't do it. - I think so.
When I buy him clothes,
he sells them on an online secondhand market.
After he receives the money, he doesn't send the clothes.
What? He doesn't send the clothes?
- That's illegal. - Is that true?
- Is this true? - Why do you do that?
She doesn't give me allowances, and she doesn't take my calls.
I didn't have money, and I was frustrated.
So I just did it.
You should've sent the clothes if you got paid.
That's crime.
How did you find out about this?
The police found my number.
And they called me.
(What should I do?)
Why are you doing this?
Are you upset at your parents?
Until middle school, I thought studying...
and listening to my mom was a good way to live.
But when I got older, I wasn't interested in going to college.
I thought I'd just waste time and money on college.
I knew I could get a job easily if I go to a vocational high school.
Then I got caught possessing cigarettes.
- So you gave up? - Yes.
You said because you don't know what you want to do,
going to college will be just waste of time and money.
Don't you think the way you live right now...
is waste of your time and money?
But it's fun.
Right now, all he cares about is fun.
We brought in Ms. Kim's friend.
Did you know that she was struggling because of her son?
Usually, she doesn't complain about things.
But ever since her son got into trouble for school and other things,
she's been complaining.
She drives a truck all day long.
And she goes to school at night.
- Truck? - Do you drive...
- a truck? - What do you do?
I do delivery work.
- Delivery work. - You drive a truck.
How long do you work in a day?
How does your day go?
I get up at 5am. After helping my husband go to work,
it becomes 6am. After having breakfast,
I leave for work. Even if it's tough,
I have to support my children until they become adults.
It's very hard for a woman to drive a truck and deliver things.
How did you get into it?
Other companies didn't give me work for being old.
I thought it would be easy to get jobs at restaurants.
But they also rejected me for being too old.
So I bought a secondhand truck and started it.
Just hearing about it, we can tell how tough it must be.
You must feel so bad for her seeing her from close.
When do you feel sorry for her the most?
She treats her son too well.
We tell her that by being too nice to him...
she's spoiling him.
We tell her not to give him money or buy him...
what he asks for.
But she's afraid that he's going to steal.
That's why she gives him whatever he asks.
As a mother myself,
I feel very sorry about it.
When you didn't give him what he asked,
did he threaten you that he was going to be bad?
He never did. But he pesters so badly that I can't work.
- How? - He talks sweetly.
- He does that to get money. - Yes.
He pesters me to get him a flat.
- Did he want to move out? - He wanted to move out.
So he moved out last April.
- Did he move out? - Yes. He moved out.
- Does he live alone? - Yes.
- Do you... - He doesn't earn money though.
Last year, he had a part-time job and paid for everything.
How about now?
For the past 3 months, I've been giving him 1,300 dollars a month.
You spend 1,300 dollars every month for him?
Do you spend more for him?
He suddenly said he was bad at math...
and asked for a tutor.
- Did he? - Yes.
I trusted him and gave him 500 dollars.
- Did you give it to him? - Yes.
That was only the beginning.
- Beginning of what? - You don't know...
- if he got a tutor? - He started doing bad things.
No. I can't check it.
- Did you get a tutor? - No way.
- What tutor? - He nodded.
No way.
(Dong Yeob is very convinced.)
- Tell us honestly. - Tell us.
- Tell us honestly. - It's a common sense.
I've been through it too.
It's just his dirty trick.
Why did you have to move out?
You don't go to school, and it costs money to live alone.
Isn't it better to move back in?
Living alone for a year, I got used to living alone.
When I go home,
I always get into a fight with my parents. So I don't want to.
I am only about three years older than you.
But now I understand my mom.
I understand that she wasn't just trying to annoy me.
That's what I realized.
(He sincerely shares his experience like a brother.)
I want to tell you that this is very wrong.
Right. I am only 29 years older than you.
But I feel really bad.
Have you gotten into a big fight with your mother?
We did several times.
After he got kicked out of school, I was worried.
But he was in the internet cafe. Wanting to talk, I went to him.
And he said I should stay out of his business.
When I told him to step outside to talk to him, he came out.
When I told him that I was really struggling,
he yelled at me to stop minding his business.
I asked him how he could treat his mother so badly...
and hit him.
After hitting him, I felt so bad...
that I cried a lot on the way home.
I was worried about him being hurt,
so I texted him to go see a doctor.
How badly did you hit him?
Why did he need to go see a doctor?
You didn't just hit him lightly?
- Did you really punch him hard? - Yes.
(That was unexpected.)
- Yes. - Yes?
Did you really hit like this?
(Like this)
- Did you hit him with a fist? - Yes.
(Please cut me some slack.)
- It's... - When I was young,
my family used to run a fish shop.
I think my mother was very wise.
She never hit us.
(What did she do then?)
When she was upset, she got a frozen pollack.
When I did something really bad, she threw a frozen pollack.
When she wanted to teach me a lesson, a squid.
- A squid? - A squid.
When I tried to run away, she threw a squid.
Then the legs would...
They'd stick to your face.
But she never hit me with her own hands...
because if she did, it might offend me.
Getting hit with a squid or a pollack isn't offensive?
- No. - I'd feel even more offended.
- No, because... - Because you could eat them.
Because then you don't have to blame your own mom.
You can just blame the fish.
"Gosh. I'll eat you up."
"I'll cut you up and boil you."
Don't you feel sorry...
afterwards?
When we've had a fight,
I want us to apologize to each other...
and move on.
But even if I apologize to her,
Mom doesn't think she should apologize to her child.
That's why I don't try to make up with her.
What did your mom do wrong?
Did she hit you too hard?
Is that her fault?
(The emotional wall between the two is thick and tall.)
To me, it seems like...
you're carrying a lot of burden on your shoulders.
Do you ever feel like letting go of everything?
Once, I was so frustrated that...
I wanted to put an end to everything.
I went to a doctor...
and said I was having sleep problems.
Then you get 2 or 3 doses of sleeping pills.
After visiting a few more doctors, I had about 30 doses in my hands.
(30 doses)
- I even did that. - My goodness.
But while visiting so many doctors...
(Her voice trembles.)
I realized I shouldn't do this.
(I shouldn't do this.)
I felt sorry for my husband.
He has heart problems. I was worried...
he'd collapse from the shock.
Did you know your mom even considered taking her life?
No. She's never told me before.
What are your biggest complaints...
about your parents?
Whenever I talk about money, they get angry for no reason...
and often stop giving me any money.
When we fight, I'm the one who suffers the consequences.
And we end up fighting whenever we start a conversation.
That's why I try not to talk to them at all.
When I talk to people,
everyone seems to have their reasons.
To me, it seems like...
he is mostly unhappy about not getting enough money.
That's what makes him resent his parents.
Is money all you need?
(Is money the only problem?)
I want to talk to my mom about many things.
But when money is even slightly involved,
she gets angry for no reason.
It's so hard to talk to her.
What I'm trying to say is...
My father was a teacher.
One day, I visited his workplace to run an errand...
and I was so shocked there.
My father was getting scolded...
by someone high up,
and I happened to see it.
He kept apologizing,
and the other person was yelling and pointing a finger at him.
I wanted to cry.
I wanted to say, "What are you doing to my dad?"
But I couldn't,
which made me feel...
like a coward.
I wandered around crying for a while...
and went home.
For the next six months,
I thought about many things.
"So that's how Dad has been making money?"
At home, he was very serious and quiet.
He was the person I feared the most.
You smoke...
and go to internet cafes.
Your mom has to wear working clothes,
carry heavy things, and butter up others.
You're smoking and playing games...
with the money your mom made that way.
Dong Yeob must be jealous of you.
Your mom is alive.
- Of course. - He wanted to do many things...
for his mom when he became successful, but he couldn't.
I think...
you're not being very wise.
What did you get from being rude to your teacher?
Nothing, right?
But in the beginning,
he said...
he wanted to get closer to his mom.
- That's good. - Yes.
He even wrote a letter to her.
He brought it today.
He has very nice handwriting.
It looks very nice, right?
- It's very nice. - "Please let me move out."
- "Please buy me more clothes." - "Please buy me more clothes."
"Please buy me more clothes."
And then...
(It doesn't end there.)
"Mom."
"This year is my last chance to have some fun."
"Please buy me a cell phone and let me go on a trip."
"Then I'll be a really good son."
You seem to always have conditions.
According to your letter,
your parents have given you everything you wanted.
But I had to fight for a long time...
Anyway, you got it.
In the end...
Is there anything they haven't given you?
- No. - Isn't it your turn now?
You've never kept your promises.
When you turn 20,
what do you want to do?
I don't have any specific plans,
but I want to get a job that pays well.
You want to make a lot of money.
In the letter,
you mentioned something about tattoos.
I think tattoos are cool.
I'm interested in tattooing.
Are you good at drawing?
I like to draw.
You like to draw?
- He's very good. - What?
(He's very good.)
He draws a lot.
(My son is good at drawing.)
Moms are like this.
"He's very good."
She was saying that.
I know it'd break your heart, but...
(Mom's attitude is important too.)
I think you should stop...
giving him everything he asks for.
Even when you're away,
he should be able to take care of himself.
Isn't that...
- what you want as parent? - Yes.
- Right? - Yes.
Do you think you can change?
Yes.
Even after getting help from this show,
if he doesn't change,
I'll give up on him.
No way.
It's not going to be easy.
In my opinion, the son has to make up his mind...
rather than his mom.
Are you sure you can change?
I know my weakness.
- It's going to be hard, right? - Yes.
(She admits it.)
- If he starts whining... - But you should change.
Why did you have to quit your part-time job?
I injured my arms and legs badly.
How?
- I fell while running. - What?
- I fell and injured myself badly. - While running?
While running?
- Where? - What's wrong with him?
- Are you okay now? - Why were you running?
- Were you drunk? - No.
Why are you so clumsy?
- You get caught every time... - He gets caught every time.
- He falls on his own. - You fall when you run.
What's with you?
He can stop being clumsy.
Let me tell you.
Your mom wanted you to finish high school,
and you said no.
You said you'd take the qualification exam.
Then you should live at home until you pass it.
Right.
You've never kept your promises.
This time, you should.
Gosh, my blood pressure.
Do you know how you can become successful?
Do you know what's the most important?
You need to be patient.
That's how you become successful.
No matter what you do,
you need to be patient.
Do you understand?
(Do you understand?)
(Is this a lecture?)
What's with me?
- Gosh. - She's right.
- My blood pressure. - All right.
Let's talk about the qualification exam first.
- Yes. - Pass the exam...
Tell us exactly...
(I'm Lee Yeong Ja.)
What do you think about this idea?
I can pass the exam,
but I don't want to live at home.
Hold on. That's not a good reason.
- You don't want to? - You said...
you just want to have fun,
but your mom wants to have fun too.
Do you think your mom drives a truck...
because it's fun?
Sometimes you have to do something even if you don't want to.
Your mom does things she doesn't want to do.
Ga Eun, your face is turning red. Do you have a high blood pressure?
Please say something to your son before we wrap up.
I want you to...
work hard for your future.
- Let's start with Hoshi. - I think it's a worry.
- Then press the button. - Okay.
There you go.
Why do you think it's a worry?
I started training in middle school.
I had to go back and forth between Seoul and Namyangju.
I had to wake up at 5am.
- Right. - So I find the situation...
hard to understand.
You're only a few years older than him,
so it must be easier to compare yourself with him.
I think it's a worry too.
(Seung Kwan thinks it's a worry.)
When Ms. Kim said...
she cried...
after fighting with her son, it broke my heart.
You need to be patient now...
to be able to pay your mom back later.
And it doesn't have to be anything special.
You should start talking to your mom again now.
I really want you to change.
- Right. - Seriously.
One day, you'll realize...
how much your mom loves you.
One day, you'll see your mom from behind...
and suddenly realize how many sacrifices she's made for you.
The realization will hit you.
I hope that day will come soon.
- He will realize it someday. - Yes.
Seung Kwan doesn't talk about it on TV,
but he has a story of his own.
That's probably why he has more to say.
Ms. Kim...
should be shedding tears...
upon hearing her son's sincere words.
However, she is shedding tears upon hearing other people's words.
All right.
I also think it's a big worry.
I don't think it's a worry.
I think he will change.
Gil Gu.
I think it's a worry.
(Gil Gu thinks it's a worry.)
He has standards.
However, he is only strict to his parent.
(He is only strict to the others.)
He shouldn't do that.
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.
Stop.
Please say your last words.
I am sorry that I always misbehave...
and go to the police station.
I will think about moving back in.
I will go home if I decide to take the qualification exam.
He will go home if he decides to take the qualification exam.
That's right.
(He announces that he will go home and take the qualification exam.)
He will go home to take the exam.
Really? I didn't hear him.
My goodness.
When you talk to him later to come back home,
he might say, "No, I won't take the exam."
He might do that.
Let's see how many votes the worry got. Show us the result.
(The result)
The last digit is eight.
It got over 100 votes, right?
Out of 200 votes, how many votes did the worry get?
How many votes did it get?
- 148 votes. - That's a lot.
(148 votes)
I will introduce the next worry.
- "I Get Treated Like Dog Poop." - Dog poop.
That's a strong title.
A teenage student sent this worry.
Hello.
(She uses a girly voice.)
(Surprised)
I am an 18-year-old high schooler who lives in Wonju.
I live with Dad and a brother who is in seventh grade.
"Did you have fun at school? Have you had dinner?"
"It's none of your business."
My brother is going through puberty.
"Why would you talk to me that way?"
"What is wrong with you?"
"For goodness' sake."
"Shut it!"
"What? Do you want a scolding?"
"Gosh, you are driving me crazy."
"Stop meddling in my business."
He always swears, complains, and looks down on me.
There is something that annoys me more.
"Why would you nag at your brother?"
"Worry about yourself."
That's what her dad says to her.
I wanted to look after my brother instead of Mom.
Why don't they understand my sincerity?
Please help me. That's the worry.
I have an older sister.
She went through quite a stormy puberty.
She didn't want the others to enter her room.
She didn't answer when I talked to her.
Girls go through stormy puberty.
When I locked the door,
everyone told me to open up.
"We live in a studio apartment, you stupid girl."
(We live in a studio apartment.)
You lived in a studio apartment.
"Where are we supposed to sleep?"
Gil Gu, do you have a sister?
No, I am the only child.
Thank goodness.
- Thank goodness. - Thank goodness.
Had he had a sister, she would have had sideburns.
No.
(Is this how his sister would have looked?)
(My goodness.)
- You imagined it. - Thank goodness.
(Thank goodness he is the only child.)
Ga Eun, do you have any siblings?
Until I entered middle school, my brother gave piggyback rides.
When my legs hurt, he carried me.
We fought a lot, but we got along well.
It sounds like a fairy tale.
Did your brother give you piggyback rides?
Yes.
(He and I had a war every day.)
It's a worry from a girl who wants to fill her mom's void.
Please come on out.
(Kwon Mi Seon)
Welcome.
(Welcome.)
Hello, I am a pretty...
A pretty... I am sorry.
Be confident.
I already understand her brother a little bit.
(We understand her brother a little bit.)
- You are from Wonju. - Yes, I am from Wonju.
There are tasty dishes in Wonju, right?
There is a restaurant that was on TV.
(Do you want to hear me talk about food?)
- Do you want to know? - No.
The restaurant serves napa cabbage dumpling.
You should look it up.
I have an idea.
Why don't you make an app that shows your favorite restaurants?
Seung Kwan, don't meddle in my business item.
- You know, - I didn't mean it like that.
he started...
to put one foot in it.
I am not greedy like that.
I will take care of my own business.
It could be a bad memory for you,
but you said that your parents live separately.
May we ask you why?
For a while, they weren't on good terms.
That's why I now live with my dad and my brother.
However, she left a great void.
- Of course she did. - I am sure it's great.
I want to fill that void.
- You want to play that role. - That's right.
Since she is gone, I have to play that role.
However, my brother looks down on me.
My dad is the same.
Instead of siding with you, he scolds you.
- Yes. It hurts my feelings. - Of course it does.
How does your brother act out? Please give us some examples.
I make meals for my brother...
so that he wouldn't be hungry. There was some meat left.
When I gave it to my brother, he said,
"I won't eat it. I won't. Why would you give it to me?"
His response hurt my feelings.
When I talked to him about three times, he swore at me.
He swore at me.
(Her brother suddenly swore at her.)
You still need your mom in this moment in life.
- Of course she does. - Despite that,
you took on a mom's role.
How long has it been since you lived away from her?
It has been a little over a year.
You must be still getting used to her absence.
- That's right. - She must be confused...
about the sudden absence of her mom.
Right? You are doing a good job.
You have a beautiful heart.
(You have a beautiful heart.)
Isn't it hard to take on the role of a mom?
It's hard, but I don't show it...
during my daily life.
I am cheerful and confident at school,
but I am rotting...
on the inside.
You are rotting on the inside despite being an 18-year-old.
Not really, but...
Ga Eun.
You only tried to look after your brother.
Why does your dad only side with your brother?
Since I am the oldest child,
he tells me to endure.
My brother tattles on me after a fight.
"Mi Seon is picking on me."
"Mi Seon meddles in my affairs."
Every time it happens, my dad goes, "It's not like you are capable."
(It's not like you are capable.)
"Why would you do that to your brother?"
(That's too harsh.)
He doesn't go, "He is young. You should be understanding."
- He scolds you instead. - That's right.
- Every time that happens... - I cry.
- It must be lonely. - How do you feel when that happens?
"Am I alone?"
"Am I alone in this world?"
"Would it be better if I don't exist?"
I had that thought once.
(It must be hard.)
Let's talk to her brother who is in seventh grade.
Where are you, Mi Seon's brother?
(Who gives his sister a hard time...)
(by complaining and swearing?)
(Come on out, Mi Seon's pubescent brother.)
Hello.
- He's cute. - Hello.
All right.
Please introduce yourself.
I am a 14-year-old, Kwon Oh Seung.
All right. Among the guests, is there a celebrity you like?
I don't think so.
(There isn't a celebrity I like.)
- He is cool. - He has the same surname.
(He is an enthusiastic PR person.)
- I am sorry. - All right.
- I am sorry. - He grew up well.
(Disheartened)
(He has strong likes and dislikes.)
Is it true that you are going through puberty?
I think so.
Do you feel that you are going through puberty?
People tell me that...
I am defiant.
How are you feeling right now?
Do you hate everything? Is the world your oyster?
- Look at him. - Do you feel like an adult?
(Annoyed)
Did you not want to come to the shoot?
(Are you angry?)
- I wanted to come. - Thank you for answering.
Your sister visited Hello because of her worry.
Do you think it's a worry?
Yes.
I see. When you eat,
your sister goes, "Eat some more."
Why do you think your sister does that?
She wants me to eat well.
She wants you to eat well. Why does that make you angry?
She calls me a pig.
She gives you more food after calling you a pig.
She calls me a pig.
(When I think about it,)
(my eyes become teary.)
(Why are you crying?)
- He's crying. - Why are you crying?
Don't cry.
He is going through puberty.
(It's hard to control his feelings.)
Why did you pick on him?
He has extreme mood swings.
- What should we do? - Don't cry.
- Child. - Stop the shoot.
You should sit here.
(They decide to listen to his worry instead.)
- Come here. - Come here.
That's right.
You laughed after you cried.
If you laugh after you cry, you will have an anomaly...
on the specific part of your body.
He laughed.
(Laughing)
Did you really call your brother a pig?
It was a joke.
Your words don't add up.
After calling him a pig, you asked him to eat more.
- He is a baby. - Your words don't add up.
- I mean... - Calm down, Yeong Ja.
- Hold on. - She is sensitive about that word.
I gave it some thoughts.
When I heard that she gave him more meat,
I thought, "She is a nice sister."
Then I heard that she called him a pig.
I related to her brother...
even though I don't have a sister.
Mi Seon's brother,
why did you cry?
Why did you suddenly cry?
I am nervous.
(I am nervous about the shoot.)
(What is he talking about?)
What?
The reason was completely different.
I thought you cried because you were sad. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
Are you simply nervous?
- Yes. - Still,
you were sad that...
- Mi Seon called you a pig, right? - She called you a pig.
Yes.
Do you think you are a pig or not?
- I think I am average. - Right?
- You are average. - You look great.
What made you agree...
to visit the show?
Do you want to make up with Mi Seon? Do you want to say a few things?
I want to say a few things.
- You should say them today. - Go ahead.
What do you want to say?
I want her to stop meddling.
- You want her to stop meddling. - Yes.
- You want her to stop caring. - Yes.
She always nags at me.
She wants to look after you...
as a mom would.
There are things I do well,
but she forces her ways...
and tells me to clean up.
- I don't want to hear it. - In that case,
what does she say that grates on your nerves?
She nags at me about using my cell phone or computer too often.
I guess you use them too often.
How often do you use your computer?
You use it every day, right?
Every day? I mean...
How many hours a day?
Give him some time to answer.
I use it once every two days.
- Don't lie. - "Don't lie"?
Don't lie.
You started to use it a lot...
after we got a new computer.
(He can't refute her words.)
- Isn't that right? - Hold on.
- 2 hours every other day. - Yes.
How about your cell phone?
Five hours a day.
That's a lot.
She doesn't use it that often, does she?
No, she uses her cell phone often.
Really?
How much does she use her cell phone?
Mi Seon?
Six hours a day.
She uses it more often.
Is that why you feel angry when she nags at you?
Yes.
Still, you shouldn't swear at her.
- You shouldn't swear at her. - Which swear word do you use?
(Swearing)
(Shocked)
You know you shouldn't use those words, right?
- Yes. - Do they just come out?
Yes.
Don't you feel bad for your sister?
I feel bad, but I don't regret using those words.
Don't you want to apologize?
I don't want to apologize.
Does she stand still when she hears those swear words?
No, she beats me.
She swears at me as she beats me.
Does she use the swear words you used?
She uses worse swear words.
This is the worst family drama.
- My goodness. - Don't you think...
you should stop swearing? It doesn't do you any good.
I don't want to swear,
but my sister tells me to be quiet...
even when I am quiet.
She tells you to be quiet even when you are quiet.
Why would she say that?
He video calls his friends...
and talks about games.
I told him to be quiet because he was being too loud.
He said, "Why do you keep meddling in my affairs?"
- Then a fight ensues. - Yes.
We end up fighting.
She said she wants...
to look after you as a mom would.
Do you feel that love?
No.
- She made you meals. - Yes.
Isn't that love?
It's food.
Do you think...
your sister should make you meals?
- Here we go again. - Yes.
Do you think your sister should make you meals...
and stay out of your business?
- Yes. - That makes no sense.
Then you should do everything by yourself.
You should make meals for yourself.
If Mi Seon doesn't feel like Mom, what does she feel like?
A monster.
(A monster)
(His sister feels like a monster.)
- He is going through puberty. - He is.
You don't like it when she looks after you like a mom.
- No. - Why not?
You should tell your sister what you don't like about it.
It feels like an act.
An act?
She didn't nag at me before.
Now, she tells me what to do.
She seems like a stranger.
(Disheartened)
Did you ever feel that her meddling has gone too far?
When I quarreled with my friends at school,
she meddled too much.
She called my friends...
and asked them what happened.
I didn't like that.
Did you really do that?
Yes, I called them.
I called them since he was in elementary school.
My brother doesn't know what to do.
He doesn't know what to do after he quarrels with his friends.
"Don't do that. Why did you quarrel?"
"You should be nice to each other."
I told them that.
You should have let him...
figure it out on his own.
You shouldn't have meddled.
Let's say you had a fight with your friends...
or got beaten up by your upperclassmen.
Would you rather that your sister goes,
"It's your problem"?
(Pondering)
The matter seems different if you get beaten up, right?
A fight and a beating are different.
Whether it's a beating or a fight,
your sister would meddle for your sake.
If the same thing happens again,
do you want your sister to react the same way...
or trust you?
I want her to trust me.
This kind of conversation is important.
Your brother wants you to trust him.
(What will Mi Seon say?)
I am still not certain.
It's hard to watch him agonize over it.
When he has a worry,
- he doesn't talk about it. - He doesn't talk about it.
Is there a worry...
you haven't shared...
as your sister said?
Yes.
(Sighing)
The friends I hang out with and I...
make a group of three.
My two friends look down on me.
(His friends look down on him.)
Your two friends gang up on you and look down on you.
Why? Is it because you don't have a mom?
They say it's a joke.
They say I should learn to take a joke.
(He cries again.)
It's rare for a pubescent boy to talk about...
what happened with his friends to his family.
With time, he will realize that those worries are nothing.
- However, they can feel big. - That's right.
Let's talk to Mi Seon's dad.
Hello, sir.
- Hello. - All right.
How does it feel to listen to your children?
I was close to tears.
I know how you feel.
Your daughter said that you scold her...
when she tries to look after her brother as a mom would.
I am thankful...
that she tries her best...
to look after her brother.
- You know that she tries her best. - Yes.
If you know,
why did you tell her to mind her business?
After I said those words,
I thought to myself, "Why did I say that?"
- You regretted it. - Yes.
I am sure you have witnessed it.
Your son swears at Mi Seon. You have seen him swear, right?
Yes, I have.
To be honest, I try to be understanding...
because he has entered puberty.
He is very sensitive.
- That's why... - You don't want to scold him.
I am afraid to scold him.
- You are afraid... - Yes.
- you will hurt his feelings. - That's right.
Your daughter is sensitive, too.
At the time in her life when she is the most sensitive,
- she suffered an emotional wound. - Yes.
I think you should listen to her...
and side with her as well.
To be honest, I did think...
I should talk things out with my daughter.
- However, I was lost... - That's right.
on how to express myself.
What is your daughter to you?
She is the apple of my eye.
I always feel bad for her.
(He always feels bad and thankful.)
Her relationship with her brother is one thing.
You probably had a problem with your dad, didn't you?
When I have a fight with my brother, I also fight with my dad too.
- That happens. - I defied Dad.
I told him it's none of his business.
That made him lose his temper.
He got so upset that he poured his coffee on me.
(He poured his coffee on me.)
(Coffee?)
- He poured it on me. - Was it hot?
- No. It wasn't that hot. - I see.
- On your face? - No.
He poured it on my body.
He threatened me with a broomstick.
Did he scare you like, "How dare you?"
He threatened me.
Sir.
(Silence)
You may hit your children...
to educate them,
but don't you think you've gone too far by pouring coffee on her?
- Actually... - Yes?
She was running late for school,
but she didn't get ready at all.
I told her to go to school, or she'll be late.
Then she defied me...
for saying that.
- You must've been flustered. - Yes.
She said, "Why do you always..."
"side up with him?"
So I poured coffee on her...
- He was angry. - before I knew it.
- You lost temper. - Yes. I was angry.
It wasn't out of hatred.
- Of course. - You probably didn't show it,
but what's the hardest part?
Since my wife isn't around,
I must take care of them.
On top of that, it's been less than 40 days...
since I had a spine surgery.
For disc?
Yes. I couldn't work for over a month.
The financial situation...
- Of course. - is pretty serious.
What's on your mind? Your dad is having a hard time too.
I know he's having a financial problem,
and to help him out,
I started working part-time since Grade 10.
Where do you work?
I had many jobs.
Raw fish restaurant, barbecue restaurant, hair salon.
I even worked at an accessory store.
She should get money from her parents at that age,
and some people do that.
You must be proud of your daughter in that terms.
I'm very proud of her.
I should take care of her,
but I didn't have a chance to.
You could compliment her.
Has he ever complimented you?
Is your dad proud of you?
I've never heard anything like that.
I want him to say that I am doing a good job.
What does he say when you say you're tired?
"You're not the only one tired."
(Goodness)
He said that was nothing compared to what he went through.
(That's mean.)
When does it hurt the most?
After Mom left home,
Dad always says this when we have a fight.
"You're just like your mom."
Goodness.
"Why do you act like your mom?"
He always points out that...
I took after Mom's negative things.
I was hurt by...
their mom's bad actions.
- You too? - Yes.
Sir. That hurts your daughter.
I used to say this to my children.
"If you do that to me,"
"who should I go to?"
He's right.
They have no one to lean on.
You probably need someone to rely on...
when you're struggling.
Do you have anyone?
Yes. She's here today.
- Is that your friend? - Who is it?
She's over there.
- Hello. - Hello.
(Her friend is here.)
When do you think she struggles the most?
(Hesitating)
(The direction of her hand is clear.)
- Her father. - Her father.
You'll understand whatever she says today, right?
- Yes. - It's for a new start.
Don't mind him.
(His expression talks for him.)
He's like, "I dare you to try."
He's...
(He's joking.)
First, her family...
has a notion of preferring a son to a daughter.
- Prefers the son to daughter? - Yes.
When her family or relatives...
give them money, they only give it to her brother.
Even when they have a fight, they're on her brother's side.
Despite all that, she still prepares meals for him.
She does what her brother wants,
but still...
(But her brother is...)
Blunt?
He's rude and looks down on her.
(That's mean.)
You should think about the past.
Do you think your family prefer you to your sister?
- Yes. - Because you're a son or younger?
Because I'm the son.
Do you think it's normal?
- What is? - That your family loves you more.
Yes.
You want your dad to say...
that he's proud of you too, right?
- Yes. - Probably.
- I do. - Especially when?
I go to...
hairdressing school.
I received an award from school.
He said he complimented me,
but I didn't hear that.
I thought I did, but she said...
- Do it now. - Now.
- Be brave. - She didn't hear it.
- Please do. - She wants to hear that again.
"Dad, I got an award."
Dad, I got an award.
My daughter.
You did a great job.
Don't act.
- "You're the best." - Yes.
- "Good job." - Be honest.
Say what's on your mind. Say what you wanted to tell her.
(Things he has never said before)
My daughter. You must've been...
very tired from working late.
I'm so proud of you. You're doing a great job.
I love you.
- Good. - That's nice.
(That's all she wanted.)
Since you're here today, anything you want to say to your brother?
(It's her turn to speak her mind.)
I know you're having a hard time too.
I know what you're going through.
But when you...
(Tearing up)
Do you feel sorry for your brother?
She wants to do better for him.
Say sorry, and he'll know.
(She's crying because she's upset and sorry.)
(It's not our fault, Oh Seung.)
(I'm sorry because I'm your sister.)
- You should be an example for him. - Yes.
Say his name.
Oh Seung, I'm sorry...
I nagged you.
I regretted so much...
for hitting you.
"Why did I do that to my brother?"
I...
I love you, Brother.
(I love you, my brother.)
(Nodding)
Let's start with Gil Gu.
- Yes. - Do you think it's a worry?
I think it is.
Bong Gu?
I also think it's a worry.
(Bong Gu thinks it's a worry.)
It's a worry for her, but I'm sure it'll settle.
It's a worry.
(Ga Eun thinks it's a worry.)
I think it's a worry.
(Seung Kwan thinks it's a worry.)
I also think it's a worry...
because it's hard to start a conversation when there's a problem.
I think it's amazing how...
the whole family is here to talk about it.
- I think it's a worry. - Okay.
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.
Stop.
Do you have something to say to her?
- Yes. - Please speak with your heart.
Call your sister.
I'll stop getting mad at you.
So I want you to stop...
meddling in.
And if there's anything I do wrong,
I'll apologize first.
(Smiling)
- Whatever happens, - Yes.
promise me that you won't swear at your sister.
I will never swear again.
Okay.
- He's cute. - Let's see how many votes they got.
"I Get Treated Like Dog Poop".
Show us the result.

"Nuisance of My Life".
I'm a college student who lives a busy life.
A man who came into my life...
made my life difficult.
(His phone rings.)
"Hey, what are you doing now?"
"Let's play a game."
"No. My class is about to start. I'll talk to you later. Bye."
(His phone rings again.)
"Hey. I said let's play a game."
He asks me to see him every day...
because he wants to play a video game.
Can't I just ignore him?
Text message. "Hey, why won't you pick up?"
Text message. "Hey, you finished your class, right?"
Text message. "I'm in front of your school. Come out."
He even came to my school, so I was dragged...
to an internet cafe in the end.
That's not all. One day, I was meeting my girlfriend.
"Hello? You're Eun Seong's girlfriend, right?"
"He's not answering his phone."
"I want to play games with him."
"So can you let him hang with me just for today?"
- "Is that okay?" - My goodness.
Why on earth does he do this to me?
Please help me make him come to his senses.
Our guest is worried because of his friend.
Let's meet him. Please come out.
(Who is worried because of a game addict friend?)
Hello, Hello
- You don't have to help him. - Male guests don't need escort.
(Kim Eun Seong)
(Desperate eyes)
(I'm here.)
He looked at Seventeen members' desperately...
while coming up on the stage.
He looked as if he was saying,
"Aren't you going to come help me?"
He looked quite desperate.
How often does your friend nag you to play games with him?
He usually wakes up at 2pm.
- 2pm? - He wakes up at 2pm?
Yes, he wakes up at 2pm.
As soon as he wakes up,
he keeps calling me until my class begin at 6pm.
I'm also a member of the student council and a club.
Right. Most college students join clubs.
He calls me while I'm with them...
to ask me to play games with him.
He also asked me to ditch a school event.
He said he would pay me the money I was going to receive.
- And at a wrap-up party after that, - Right.
he called me repeatedly.
I couldn't stand it anymore,
so I went to an internet cafe nearby with him.
After playing a game with him for a while...
- Did you go back to the party? - Yes.
(His friend calls him all day long.)
You can ignore his calls.
If I don't answer his call, I get over 20 missed calls from him.
(Over 20 missed calls)
He doesn't stop calling me until I pick up.
My classes are over between 10pm and 11pm as they're evening classes.
He comes to my school around the time I finish my class.
He's so passionate.
Do you play games with him?
Yes, I do.
Only then he leaves.
- He won't leave if you don't? - If I don't, he would...
- nag me again the next day. - That's unbelievable.
It doesn't matter if he just asks me to play games with him.
He only brings his transportation card without any money.
(No way.)
He asks me to pay saying he doesn't have any money.
(I don't have any money. Pay the bill for me.)
Gosh. He asked you to play a game with you.
- He should pay the bill. - I can't believe it.
- How can he do that? - Seriously.
We have to play games until the first bus comes next day.
- Until the first bus comes? - All night long?
He nags me to stay there all night long.
- Is it the chicken eating game? - Yes, it is.
That game is the problem. My group members play it too.
- Do they play the game often? - They play the game all day long.
When we play the game,
we stay at the internet cafe for over 10 hours.
The internet cafe fee is about 10 dollars for 10 hours.
Besides, I have to eat something because I get hungry.
- Of course. - And I can't just let him...
watch me eating, so I buy his food too.
I spend about 30 dollars in total.
Does your friend not go to college?
He took a semester off from college.
He bought a gaming computer.
So he plays games all day long at home...
- and eats delivery burgers. - That's bad for his health.
He gained 8kg in 3 weeks.
He gained 8kg in 3 weeks?
- You did? - No. Not me.
- Your friend? - Yes.
I'm living my life to the fullest.
(I'm a young man who is living my life to the fullest.)
Did he really call your girlfriend?
Yes. It hadn't been long since I started dating her.
I think it was our second date.
- On your 2nd date? - On your 2nd date?
- That's too much. - My girlfriend...
- He's thoughtless. - Right.
- He should've left them alone. - He's a nuisance.
My girlfriend said she wanted to play the game.
So I suggested we play it with my friends.
- So she played it with your friend? - Yes.
We opened a group chat room.
- When you first met her? - Yes. He probably got her number...
in the group chat room.
You didn't give him her number, right?
No. Anyway, my girlfriend and I...
were lovey dovey on our date.
- "Lovey dovey"? - Yes. Not that way.
- We chatted at a cafe. - What do you mean by that?
(What does "lovey dovey" mean?)
- Please be more specific. - Tell me what it is.
Tell us if you meant what I am thinking now or something else.
Listen to me.
- We might get a wrong idea. - Exactly.
- He said it was their second date. - What did you mean by that?
Who would do that on a second date?
The number of dates doesn't matter.
- Just explain what you meant. - What did you mean by that?
- Lovey dovey. - Many adults watch our show.
Seventeen members, tell me. You're young.
- What does it mean? - Drinking coffee together...
A couple gaze at each other at a cafe.
- In a romantic way. - That's right.
- They feed each other. - They enjoy romance.
You must've been angry because he called her at that moment.
He said he wanted to play a game, but he couldn't get hold of me.
He asked her to let me play the game with him...
just that day.
- Did she let you go? - Of course not.
After that happened, she said,
"Your friend is quite peculiar."
Your girlfriend has a good personality.
- He's not a pro gamer, is he? - No.
He's bad at it.
- If... He's bad at it? - "He's bad at it."
He's bad at it when he plays the game 10 hours a day?
He really is a nuisance.
Let's meet his friend. Hello.
Hello.
He's skinny.
- You said he gained 8kg. - Did he really gain 8kg?
Yes, he gained 8kg.
I'm glad he gained weight.
- He has a handsome face. - Yes.
- He's cute. - He looks like an idol singer.
When he said he paid all the expenses,
all the female audience members looked speechless.
- But when they saw his face, - Then they saw his face.
they looked like they were saying, "It's understandable."
Exactly.
(Don't let his handsome face fool you.)
Do you understand why your friend is worried?
He even came on to the show.
I don't understand.
Why not?
We're in our 20s. We're young.
Therefore,
we should enjoy doing what we like.
The problem is that you don't do anything else.
I believe that anyone around my age does that much...
when they do what they like.
- What? - Enjoying it yourself isn't wrong,
- but you force him to do the same. - Exactly.
When I call Eun Seong, he pretends he hates it,
but he actually enjoys it.
- So... - What is he talking about?
- What is going on? - Then he wouldn't be here.
Since I know he likes it even though he says he hates it,
I call him.
He said you play video games for more than 10 hours a day.
- I wake up between 2pm and 3pm. - I see.
Then I play the game until 5am or 6am.
It's true that I spend a lot of time on it.
You won't be able to do so when you go back to school.
That's what worries me a little.
Taking classes will take too much of my time, right?
That's your responsibility as a student.
He thinks it's a waste of time.
- He doesn't know what's important. - Exactly.
However, why do you not bring any money?
(Why do you not bring money for the internet cafe fee?)
Exactly.
About the money...
Since I have the least conscience,
I borrow money from my friends from time to time...
If he has conscience...
(How can he be so shameless?)
- Has he repaid you? - No, he hasn't.
- It looks like he lent him money. - He hasn't paid him back yet.
- I'm proud of myself... - He smiled...
for starting to work part-time on weekends.
- Good for you. - He's proud of himself.
- "I'm so proud of myself." - "I'm proud of myself."
Since I don't earn a lot of money,
I can't repay him all the money I owe right now.
However, I'm planning to repay him little by little.
Has he repaid you most of it?
- Part of it? - Just a little?
He's paying me back, but it's taking too long.
I heard you even called...
his girlfriend.
That day, my gaming was on fire.
If there had been someone to help me,
I thought I would hit my personal best.
I was doing so well that day.
I called her and said very politely,
"I'm doing so well playing the game today."
"So please let me hang with him just for today."
Are you living alone now?
No. I'm living with my family.
Don't your parents scold you?
They must know you play games too much.
They don't meddle in my life so much now.
I have a younger sibling who is in 11th grade.
My younger sibling is a good student ranked top in the class.
So my mother is focusing on my younger sibling.
Do you think she's given up on you?
It's not that she's given up on me.
Since I have a free spirit...
(Shaking his head)
What else did he do to make you upset?
I worked on several school events at the same time.
I worked too hard.
I got sick, so I had to miss my classes for five days.
I was sleeping at home...
when he called me and said,
"Playing games is a cure-all."
"Just trust me this once."
He's addicted.
However,
it doesn't make sense that a man can't play games...
because of a fatigue.
(It can't be an excuse.)
That's a dangerous comment.
You can't play games when you're sick and have a fever.
If he had been really sick,
he wouldn't have come out.
You're saying he came out because he's not that sick?
That's right. He enjoys it.
I have a question.
Why do you play games only with him?
Don't you have any other friends?
The two of us team up...
with two strangers.
We put on an act when we play the game.
I tell them that I've never played the game before...
- You lie to them. - and ask for advice.
But then I show off my skills.
And when I win it,
I say that it was my first time winning.
That makes me feel so proud.
- But... - I asked why you play games...
- only with him. - Why do you play only with him?
- He's unbelievable. - You can do it with other friends.
Why do you play only with him?
No one plays along with me as well as he does.
But he doesn't like playing games.
If it's playing games that you like,
you can do it with other people...
who like it just like you do.
It has to be Eun Seong.
(It has to be Eun Seong.)
(He's so selfish.)
But that's... What's the reason?
This is definitely a worry.
(Please let me go now.)
He plays along with me better than anyone else.
Does it mean that he plays along with you when you pretend...
- you're not good at the game? - Yes.
He likes playing games with you...
- because you play along with him. - Are you really worried?
- Are you? - Yes.
Then why would you do it with him and enjoy it?
- Why would you play along with him? - I...
I only did that for 1 or 2 rounds out of all the rounds.
I don't play along with him that often.
You shouldn't even do that for a single round.
What do you think you two have in common?
- Do you hit it off well with him? - With him?
To be honest, I don't think we hit it off,
but I pretend we do.
Why would he pretend?
- Then why... - Does he not have other friends?
I'm sure he celebrates his birthday with other friends too.
We can hardly see him...
- in person. - Is that so?
We only talk to him online.
On my birthday, he was responsible for buying a cake...
for my birthday party, but he was four hours late.
The other friends worried about him. They called him, and he came.
He said he played a game other than the game I talked about before,
and he got the highest score.
- Another game? - He asked us to congratulate him.
- On your birthday? - Yes.
- What about the cake? - He didn't bring the cake.
- He was also four hours late. - He forgot to buy one.
- He was busy playing the game. - However, on his birthday,
we all pitched in to throw him a party.
- You shouldn't have done it. - He enjoyed what you did for him,
- but didn't care about your party. - That's right.
You should've been there on time if you were responsible for the cake.
How could you forget that?
However, those who likes video games must understand me.
I got the highest score.
It's a great achievement for me.
(A great achievement)
- Seriously. - You didn't care about his party.
Which one is a happier occasion? Your achievement or his birthday?
His birthday will come again next year.
(His birthday will come again next year.)
(Is he really a friend?)
But I can't get the highest score next year.
(Take this.)
So your game scores are more important than your friend.
But you must've remembered you had to buy the cake.
You could've bought a cake even though you were late.
I contemplated for a while,
but I decided to go to the party without a cake.
Don't you think it's important to keep your promises?
Actually, when I meet with my friends,
I never show up on time.
- Why? - And you're proud of it.
- Why do you do that? - I always say,
"The star of the party is always the last to arrive."
(He's all talk.)
You should apologize to your friends for being late.
That's what I tell my friends when I'm late.
- He's a terrible friend. - But they got used to it.
But they got used to it.
What are you talking about? Who can do that?
They're putting up with it.
(He's taking our consideration for granted.)
Another friend is here. Please pick up the mic.
Hello.
"Hello."
He looks so friendly and nice too.
Does he nag you to play games with you too?
I came to know him while playing games.
He doesn't nag me.
But when we play a game together,
he moves around individually when we have to move as a team.
- So... Yes. - He asked you to play it with him?
It doesn't feel like we're playing the game together.
Why do you move around alone when you asked him to team up?
You have to move around as a team.
In movies, the leading characters...
(The leading characters in movies...)
He has a problem.
- This is serious. - I mean...
- He thinks he's special. - I like it...
when I achieve something on my own.
- Then you can play games alone. - Then you should play games...
- all by yourself. - Why don't you play games alone?
If I do that, I would feel lonely.
(I'm against their friendship.)
- What is he talking about? - You said you like doing it alone.
But still, they win many times when they play it with me.
(Maybe this is the end of our friendship.)
What else did he do to disappoint you as a friend?
Even if I call him, he doesn't come out saying he's playing a game.
Even if he comes out to see me,
he leaves suddenly to play a game again.
When we meet up, all he talks about is video games.
I want to talk about life...
- and my concerns. - He wants to talk about life.
But it seems like he always thinks only about games,
so I'm worried.
It looks like your friends are disappointed. How do you feel?
However, they're not so petty to feel disappointed...
because of this.
- They just said they were. - That's why they're here.
(You called us petty?)
- That's why they're here. - Are they considered petty...
if they're disappointed?
- That's not what I meant. - You can't call them petty.
Did you mean that you guys have a deep friendship?
Yes. We have a deep friendship.
Why did you help him make it look okay?
I want to shoot him with a poisoned needle.
I'm so surprised.
I guess men can keep a friendship...
- in a situation like this. - Never.
- We hate those who break promises. - We're not like them.
- You're not? - They get mad...
- when someone is late. - They're unusual.
I don't understand him.
He could've avoided meeting his friend if he does want to.
You don't have to see him.
I don't understand why he sees him when he gets stressed out.
What's the reason?
When I first met him, I thought...
he makes friends with people without considering their backgrounds.
Since then, we've been friends. I know that it's his life,
but as his friend,
I want to help him to improve his life.
He always says he pursues YOLO lifestyle.
That's what he claims.
He spent all the money I lent him on playing video games.
He should plan his future as well.
- He only plays games. - Yes. All he does is play games.
Are you grateful that he cares about you?
Or do you think he worries unnecessarily?
I'm grateful, but...
Do you think he doesn't have to worry about you?
I have my own plans.
So I don't think...
(What plans do you have?)
He shouldn't worry about me as much as he does now.
- Of course. - What's your plan?
I'm thinking of starting a gaming online broadcast.
- A one-person broadcast? - It's not that I'm thoughtless.
I broadcasted my games through social media...
several times before.
I try to figure out how to make it more interesting for the audience,
how to improve my skills, or how to...
- make the enemy pass away. - "Pass away"?
- You mean, how to kill your enemy. - That's right.
I don't play games just for fun.
He's making efforts to make his dream come true.
The only problem is that you don't respect his feelings...
when he doesn't feel like playing games with you.
- You only care about yourself. - You don't stop calling him.
And he said he hates it when you nag him.
Therefore, you can just avoid doing that.
Do you know what kind of worries...
Eun Seong has?
(Do you know what are the things he worries about?)
Do you know his dream?
Do you know how many there are...
- in his family? - I...
Can you still call yourself his friend?
Well... Yes, I'm his friend. I do know what his dream is.
- What is it? - What's his dream?
His dream is to become a rapper.
- Is that true? - Yes.
Beat, please.
Do freestyle against him.
Just show us a little bit,
and see how the audience react.
You might realize you should pursue another dream.
That's right. We'll see how they react.
- I'd like to hear him rap. - Please show us.
- Shall I start? - Beatbox for him.
(Beatboxing awkwardly)
(I contemplate continuously)
(We put everything we have in it)
It's perfect and worth to put everything we have
(He's good.)
But we still can't decide what's right
Let's go back to the time when we were created
(He has a great sense of rhythm.)
(It's exciting.)
I repent my sins every night
He's good. Did you...
- That was amazing. - Did you just improvise...
a freestyle rap about Hello?
- Well, yes, I... - He's a genius.
He's so talented.
He's great.
Have you ever heard him rap before?
- Of course I have. - This isn't your first time.
(That's a relief.)
- He's good. - He's good.
He's reaching his limit.
Your friends whom you meet in person...
might leave you. You know that.
- If this situation continues. - That's right.
If he keeps breaking his promises.
I think it would break my heart.
- I see. - It could happen.
- There's no friend like him. - Absolutely.
- You rarely meet a friend like him. - That's right.
You should make an effort to keep the friendship forever...
- and cherish it. - Right.
Just because he plays along with you,
if you only enjoy having fun and keep asking him for too much,
you will lose your friend. You should bear that in mind.
All right. Say a word to him for the last time.
I hope you will refrain yourself...
from calling me when it's not a good time for me.
Also, I'll call you when I feel like playing a video game.
So please wait for my call instead of calling me.
I also hope you make a good plan to live a better life.
I'm not saying this for your sake.
I'm saying this because I'm worried...
about your future wife and kids.
He's such a good friend.
Okay. Let's start the voting with Gil Gu.
I think he learned a lot today.
It was a very good story to think about.
I think it's a worry.
I hope you'll pay more attention...
- to your close friends. - Of course.
I don't think it's a worry.
I think Eun Seong can be stricter to him.
- That's right. - He's too kind.
- He spoiled his friend. - Yes.
He probably decided to come on the show...
in order to help his friend.
Since they heard how each other feels,
I believe they can resolve the problem together.
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 Eun Seong.
(A word to Eun Seong)
I think I can understand...
how you feel better now.
I also realized what I did wrong.
However,
I still love video games, Eun Seong.
(I love video games.)
I'll call you... I'll call you just once in a while.
I love you.
(I love you, my friend.)
He's cute.
All right. He said he loves you.
- Yes. - He might get fooled by it...
and do whatever he's asked.
(He might get fooled again.)
Shall we check the result?
"Nuisance of My Life". Please show us the result.
(The result)
The last digit is three.
Could it be over 100?
- It's over 100. - 113?
- 100 and... - 113.
- 123? - 133?
113.
(113 votes)
As a result, "Mom's Wish"...
is this week's winner.
The winner will receive a prize money.
Congratulations.
Until the day we are all worry-free,
Hello will continue to counsel you.
- Thank you! - Thank you!
