- National Competition on Worries! - National Competition on Worries!
Let me introduce you to today's guests.
Looking at her makes me feel good.
- Kim Ji Seon! - Hello.
- Shin Ji! - Hello. It's nice to meet you.
Lee Hong Gi of FT Island!
(Lee Hong Gi of FT Island)
The family medicine doctor who became very popular...
thanks to her husband and child,
- Heo Yang Im! - Welcome!
- The rising star, - Yes.
Ro Woon of SF9!
(Ro Woon of SF9)
He's so handsome.
While Jeong Yak Yong lived during the Joseon Dynasty,
in the present era, there's Kim Ji Seon.
- She's amazing. - Yes.
Ji Seon always has a smile on her face.
- I frown only at home. - I see.
When I'm home... Since I have three sons...
and one daughter.
They're in 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 8th grade now.
My eldest son is okay, but my second son is going through puberty.
One day, I went into his room.
I saw what he wrote on the wall. "I want to die."
- That's what he wrote. - Really?
- Really? - Yes.
- You must've been surprised. - "I want to die."
I was so shocked.
But my eldest son saw it...
and told me that he was like that when he was in seventh grade.
He also said it was just a phase, so it would pass soon.
- He had been there. - He told me not to worry.
- He's very dependable. - He is, indeed.
- Yang Im's husband, - Yes.
Ko Ji Yong, is very popular and considered as the best husband.
Her son is really popular too.
- Seung Jae. - Seung Jae is so adorable.
You don't have any worries, do you?
- Seung Jae... - Do you have any wishes?
is such a special child,
and I'm very grateful.
However, he seems to feel lonely maybe because he grew up a little.
- He said he wanted a sibling. - My goodness.
- He's still a little child... - You can have another baby.
- seeing that he's lonely. - Get some fertile energy from her.
Shall I give you some of my energy?
(Mom, I want a younger sibling.)
- Shin Ji. - Yes?
- You look like a newlywed bride. - Pardon me?
- I... - Are you in love with someone?
(Is everyone except for me in love?)
No.
Doesn't she look like a woman in love?
Did you mean to ask if she's seeing anyone?
- She asked, "Are you in love?" - I mean...
"Are you in love with someone?"
Since she released a new album,
we're curious about her new song.
But most women want to know how she lost face fat.
- That's what they want to know. - Her face became much slimmer.
Can you tell us your secret?
I get facial massage at the same place Yeong Ja goes to.
(At the place Yeong Ja goes to)
I see.
- The place she goes to? - At the same place?
- You two go to the same place? - Sue them. You should sue them.
(They go to the same place, but they look so different.)
They must offer various services.
- Sing your new song for us, please. - Okay.
("Good Girl" by Shin Ji)
(She still sings powerfully just as she used to.)
(Do you think)
(I'm that easy?)
(Shin Ji's songs are perfect for summer.)
Hong Gi and Ro Woon,
are you here to promote your new albums?
- Correct! - All right.
(My goodness. That's correct.)
I wanted to say that too.
I was right.
("Summer Night's Dream" by FT Island)
(It's nice.)
(I miss you so much)
(The summer love song will help you beat the heat.)
He looks great.
(Ro Woon can't just watch.)
- He's so tall and handsome. - Ro Woon.
("Roll the Dice" by SF9)
(Sensuous, sophisticated, and sexy)
(Excited)
(Everyone who doesn't know SF9 is guilty.)
(I just went for it)
I just went for it
(Everyone is mesmerized.)
- Thank you for inviting me here. - I know.
- He moves so lightly. - We...
- need to enjoy ourselves sometimes. - Exactly.
We don't even need to go anywhere on vacation.
We don't need to.
- He's amazing. - Why did you come here alone?
Aren't you the most popular member?
So your agency decided to let the most popular member...
appear on this show,
- and it was you. - That's right.
My, he didn't deny it.
- He's brazen. - He's brazen.
- I'm surprised. - It's different from the past.
Celebrities these days say their honest opinions.
Yes, I'm the most popular member in my group.
(I just said it.)
(They'll become his fans.)
I wonder what kind of stories we have today.
Please show us the keywords.
"The Sad Newlywed Life".
"An Unusual Worry".
"Who Am I Living For?"
The title is "The Sad Newlywed Life".
- Is a newlywed bride in this story? - Yes.
She's in her 20s, so... Hello.
(He talks like a newlywed bride.)
I'm a newlywed bride who has been married for nine months.
I used to dream of having dinner with my husband at home...
and sleeping with him while holding him tightly.
There were many things I wanted to do.
But my husband steps out every night...
as if someone bewitched him.
(Where does he go...)
(every night?)
Where does he go? He's hooked on indoor golf simulator.
He goes to play golf after work...
and comes home around 3am.
I always go to bed alone...
while waiting for him.
(Virtual golf game is so fun.)
The problem is...
- that I'm nine months pregnant. - What?
I have more pain as my due date is coming,
but that doesn't worry my husband at all.
"I'm not feeling so well."
"Can you stay home tonight?"
"Really? Are you in pain?"
"But I have to go out to play golf."
"What if the baby comes out?"
Thinking of living with a husband like him for the rest of my life...
makes me feel hopeless.
Please stop my husband from playing golf every day.
(Please stop my husband.)
How was your husband?
- He helped me a lot. - All four times?
No. Just until the third time.
He helped me a lot until the third time.
(It's a bit disappointing.)
Yang Im, what do you think?
Many people think it's nothing because every mom goes through it,
but in fact, pregnancy causes many changes,
- and it's physically challenging. - Your body changes a lot.
How were you when you were nine months pregnant?
It was August, so it was really hot.
I couldn't sleep well because of the heat.
- You keep tossing and turning. - Exactly.
I wished I could sleep on my stomach.
- It's not possible. - I wanted it so much...
that I thought of asking my husband to make a hole in the mattress.
- I understand. - I wished I could do it just once.
That's a good idea.
A bed for pregnant women that has a hole in it,
which allows them to sleep on their stomach.
Would you buy that bed?
Yes.
(It turns out Yeong Ja needs it for herself.)
I mean it.
It's been almost 30 years since I last slept on my stomach.
(I miss those days.)
Actually, someone very close to me...
is also hooked on golf.
Kim Jong Min is crazy about golf.
We still do gigs in different areas other than Seoul often,
- which I'm grateful for. - That's great.
There's the only reason he wants to come back to Seoul quickly.
It's to play golf.
That's how much he loves playing golf.
- But this man has a wife... - His wife is pregnant.
- who is nine months pregnant. - Exactly.
Who taught Jong Min how to play golf?
I began to learn it first.
(I'm to blame. I'm sorry, Jong Min.)
Let's meet our guest. Please welcome her with a round of applause.
(Who is lonely because her husband is hooked on golf?)
- Help her. - Ro Woon.
(Jung Hye In)
Escort her.
(Welcome to the counselling house.)
- Stretch your legs and relax. - Please sit comfortably.
- Please sit comfortably. - That's okay. I'm comfortable.
You can lie down if you want.
Please introduce yourself.
I'm Jung Hye In. I'm 24,
and I live in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province.
- She's 24. - Sorry?
- I'm 24. - You're 24?
I have an elder sister, and she's 25.
Hye In is one year older than me.
- I see. Are you 23? - Yes, I am.
He's around your age.
Ro Woon...
- has a unique charm. - Right.
He was surprised when he heard that she's 24.
It's not that he or his sister is the same age as her.
"My sister is 1 year older than her, and she is 1 year older than me."
So they have nothing in common.
(What's your point?)
That was...
You just wanted to say anything, right?
- Yes. - He's enthusiastic.
(He scored one extra point on the entertainment test.)
Please tell us how serious your husband's addiction is.
My husband got hooked on golf as soon as we got married.
I've been staying home alone most of the time until now.
- That's too much. - What does your husband do?
- He works at a pizzeria... - I'm craving pizza.
- as a manager. - Is it a famous franchise?
- Yes. - I see.
- He goes to work at 10:30am, - I see.
and he finishes work at 10:30pm.
- He works for 12 hours a day. - Yes.
Since he comes home late,
I want him to spend some time with me at night.
But he goes straight to an indoor golf range after work.
He comes home around 3am.
(He goes home at 3am after having fun.)
- Do you eat... - Oh my goodness.
alone at home?
Yes. I eat alone.
I stay home alone doing house chores.
(Did she get married to live like this?)
Before you got married,
you didn't expect him to be like this, right?
My father-in-law once jokingly said...
that my husband is a person who enjoys water-skiing in summer...
and skiing in winter.
- Some guys are like him. - He told me that.
They play all kinds of sports.
- You're like him too, Hong Gi? - So...
When we were dating, he was hooked on bowling...
and baseball hitting simulator.
He enjoys many different kinds of sports.
He has similar preferences to mine.
(Hong Gi enjoys playing sports just like he does.)
I thought it was a date,
so I enjoyed playing sports with him.
- You two enjoyed it together. - That's nice.
- It's just good to be together. - Until then.
However, playing golf was too much for me.
Does he tend to buy his own equipment for playing sports?
Yes. He bought...
(Of course!)
- He bought... - That's even worse.
(He does everything that can worry his wife.)
He's not as good as an expert,
- but he bought equipment first. - Some people...
buy equipment before learning sports.
He buys equipment first.
(I'm not like him.)
When he gets tired of it,
he displays the equipment in the house.
He still keeps his bowling ball for display only.
- Also, his water skis... - He has one?
- Did he buy his own water skis? - are also...
- put in the corner. - Of course, he bought water skis.
You don't really need...
your own water skis,
but many people buy their own bowling or golf equipment.
I understand that because you're good at it.
Is your husband very good at it?
Well, he...
He's not very good at it.
- Right? - He's just okay.
Even when you asked him to stay home because you were sick,
- he went out to play golf. - Exactly.
- She asked him while crying. - Yes. I...
I whined to stop him from going out,
but he said, "I have to go because I made a promise."
He didn't even change the look on his face while saying that.
- You must've been upset. - So...
I have even run away from home.
- You ran away from home? - Yes.
I was worried if my husband was looking all over for me...
or if he would get angry at me.
But he texted me,
"Did you go to your parents'? Why didn't you tell me? Goodnight."
- Gosh. Seriously. - He was mean.
- He texted me, and that was it. - He's unbelievable.
(Why did I get married?)
Let's meet her husband. Where are you?
- Hello. - He looks so innocent.
(Innocent)
My goodness.
He looks like a nice person.
Do you understand why your wife is concerned?
I don't understand her completely.
- What? - To be honest...
(I don't understand her completely.)
I don't play golf every single day.
I just play for a couple of hours with my colleagues...
to relieve my stress.
- How many times a week? - 3 or 4 times?
I play twice a week.
He promised me that he'd play only on Mondays and Thursdays.
But he said playing twice a week wasn't enough to improve his skills.
In the end, he plays 3 or 4 times a week.
- 3 or 4 times a week? - Yes.
I don't normally play as many as four times a week.
It's happened just a few times.
When I stop him from going,
he says, "Then what will I do at home?"
- "What will I do at home?" - If you stop him,
what does he do at home?
I've never succeeded in stopping him from going.
- He went every time. - He ends up going.
- You can't stop him. - Please be honest with us.
I heard gambling is the most fun activity you do sitting down...
and golf is the most fun activity you do standing up.
Who said that? He's a dangerous person.
I think you left one thing out.
Never mind.
Sleeping is the most fun activity you do lying down.
Sleeping well.
- So? - My gosh.
Let's say golf is the most fun activity you do standing up.
How long are you planning to continue?
I think I need at least 3 to 5 years...
(3 to 5 years)
to get to a high level.
What score do you want to achieve before you quit?
I want to be able to play under par.
- Under par? - By playing indoor golf?
What's your score right now?
A little more than 80.
- He's good. - How long have you been playing?
- About six months. - He's good.
- He must have practiced a lot. - But the problem is...
There's nothing wrong with enjoying your hobby,
but you just got married, and your wife is pregnant.
Don't you think you shouldn't apply the same standards...
as when you were single?
My wife always knew that I love sports.
But before, she never tried to stop me.
It's as if, after we got married,
- she took off her mask. - What?
(How can you say that?)
- What are you talking about? - It's because...
she got pregnant right away.
If she wasn't pregnant, you might think that way,
- but still. - Right.
Isn't any of your friends married?
- No. - That's why.
It's not your 2nd or 3rd child.
This is something your wife has never experienced.
Imagine how worried she'd be.
When you're pregnant, it's supposed to hurt.
Have you experienced it?
Please calm down a bit.
In a childbirth class,
- men get to experience pregnancy. - Right.
You've never tried it, have you?
No, I haven't.
Imagine carrying a big water bottle on your belly.
(She's right.)
Ro Woon, your sister is only one year older than the wife.
Yes. If I was her little brother...
- Exactly. - He just clenched his fist.
The thing is,
having a child is...
a decision made by both the husband and the wife.
- And he's being irresponsible. - Right.
Say that to the husband's face.
- Look him in the eye. - Ask him a question.
(Angry)
(What will he ask the husband?)
- How did you get into golf? - "How..."
(How did you get into golf?)
- "How..." - What's that?
(What's that?)
- "How did you get into golf?" - "How did you get into golf?"
- You were being... - He's too nice.
You sounded so angry at first.
- Is that what you wanted to ask? - Is that what you wanted to ask?
- Oh, my. - You did a good job.
(He is getting better at variety shows.)
My father-in-law loves golf.
- He is very good. - Your father-in-law?
He even bought me golf clubs.
- It's true. - You must hate your dad.
Yes, I do.
My dad is my enemy.
Even before he got into golf,
he had many other hobbies.
(Her dad is the same.)
Growing up,
I always thought I'd never marry a man like my dad.
And I ended up with someone exactly like him.
I regret my choice.
Who do you play golf with other than your father-in-law?
I play with former branch managers.
Golf is nice...
because it's very relaxing.
We can understand each other because we work together.
- We drink coffee or eat together. - That's important too.
You and former branch managers might understand each other,
but you and your wife don't.
- She's the most important person. - Exactly.
Whenever I take a day off,
I go to movies or go shopping for baby stuff with her.
I even cook for her.
In return for that,
- he always asks... - "Can I go play golf now?"
"I've done this and this for you. Can I go now?"
So I don't even want him to do anything for me anymore.
You suspect that he's only being nice so that he can play golf.
(She can't trust him anymore.)
Our drummer just had a baby.
He is completely smitten and stays with the baby all day.
- It's his first child. - Aren't you interested?
- Usually... - Of course, I am.
So at night, I sometimes talk to the baby.
I put cream on my wife's belly too.
The most important thing is...
- that you stay with your wife. - That's right.
- You need to be with her. - Ro Woon is like a husband.
- More than anything, - He's like a husband.
you're supposed to go through this together with your wife.
Are you married?
(Are you married?)
- How do you know all that? - He wants to have a baby early.
It sounds like he is speaking from experience.
Also, when you're pregnant and your belly gets bigger,
- it makes you depressed. - That's right.
The changes in your body make you depressed.
- But... - Where did you learn that?
During sex education.
- They receive sex education. - Right.
Right.
(Every household needs Ro Woon.)
I want to know...
how much he spends on screen golf every month.
I spend about 200 dollars a month.
Since he doesn't smoke,
- isn't it pretty okay? - What do you think?
Considering our financial situation,
200 dollars is a lot.
Since we got married,
my husband has never given me any living expenses.
(Unbelievable)
We've been using...
the money I saved up.
Also, my parents feel sorry for me...
- and send me some money too. - They help out.
- That changes everything. - Hold on.
Why didn't you tell us from the beginning?
- I know. - That changes everything.
So we've been using my money.
- And we need to get baby stuff. - Right.
- We haven't got anything yet. - No?
- When is your baby due? - September 5.
- It's soon. - I've been telling my husband...
- we need to get stuff, - She's in the ninth month.
- and he says it's still too early. - Then...
Where does your salary go?
You haven't given your wife any money yet.
- This changes everything. - He's the branch manager.
What does he spend all his salary on?
It must be somewhere in Yangpyeong County.
Is it buried somewhere?
- Do you bury it somewhere? - He must be saving up.
I'm sure he'll give his wife 10,000 dollars when the baby is born.
Right.
(Knockdown)
You're probably right.
I got in a little trouble before I got married,
so I have a bit of debt.
How much debt do you have?
About 20,000 dollars.
When can you start giving your wife money?
I'll have my debt paid off by next month.
Did you know about it?
- No. - You should have told her.
- Aren't you angry? - He's her little brother.
Please be honest.
I'm very angry. He plays golf too often,
leaving my sister alone at home.
Even when they were dating, they made our parents worried.
- Both of them? - My brother-in-law finishes late.
So my sister used to go out at night and come home the next morning.
- They... - That's why they got married.
They got married to take responsibility.
- That's what happened. - We understand that part.
Anything else?
One day, I was outside,
- and my sister called me, crying. - She called you?
I was so surprised. I ran to her without knowing what had happened.
She was crying alone at home,
so I took her to my place.
If I stay home when my wife cries...
You're worried you'll have to stay home every time?
- Yes. - My goodness.
(Cold)
I think you should change...
when you get married.
- Of course. - Of course.
As I'm a man myself,
I understand my brother-in-law is still young and wants to have fun.
But I'd try to change if my wife wants me to.
While your wife is pregnant and your child is young,
- you should make sacrifices. - Exactly.
(Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices.)
Do you want to say something to your brother-in-law?
Look him in the eye.
- He seems scared. - Lotto will be born soon.
- Lotto? - The baby's nickname is Lotto.
- Lotto? - The baby will be born soon.
The most important thing is the responsibility as the father.
I hope you will be more responsible.
That's difficult.
That's difficult to say.
(He doesn't look pleased.)
He still doesn't seem to...
realize that he's done...
something very wrong.
I can't understand it very well.
(He's the only person who can't understand it.)
What do you not understand?
It's...
(Let's calm down.)
Compared to all the work I do,
what she's going through isn't that much.
You think being pregnant and being alone...
isn't as painful as...
- the 12 hours of work you do. - Right.
That's what I think. Honestly,
I don't even have friends.
I can't even go to see them.
Not even on weekends. Why? I have to be with my wife,
and I have to play with her.
- Play with her? - I said it wrong.
I said it wrong.
He's upsetting.
- Calm down, Shin Ji. - She's upset.
She's very upset.
"I work for 12 hours. Do you know how painful it is?"
"You are always resting. I need to get compensated."
- Right. That's it. - That's what you seem to think.
But this is not the matter of compensation...
in my opinion.
By any chance, do you think...
it's natural to go through this hardship...
in order to become a mother?
A little bit. Yes.
A lot of men think like him.
They think it's a natural thing.
- It's what women go through. - It's what women go through.
But the level of depression which pregnant ladies suffer...
is often as serious as that of cancer patients.
- When they are pregnant. - That's how depressed they are.
That's how depressed they get.
Some men understand this well...
while the others, although not intentionally,
- don't understand it quite well. - They can't sympathize.
From a common-sense point of view, when your wife is sick,
you should get worried...
- You shouldn't go out. - and not go out.
- Right. - You can't go out.
If that's the case,
then I shouldn't even go to work.
If that's the logic.
But it's not that bad from a common-sense point of view.
(Did he get his priorities mixed up?)
This is the impression I got. I don't know him too well,
but it's clear that he's got his own plan.
- Which he won't share with her. - Yes. He won't share it.
Because there's no conversation between you two,
she doesn't know what her husband is up to.
- Next month... - That makes her really sad...
- and upset. - This is because...
they only dated at night.
When you go on dates only at night, you talk about dreams.
That's why when you see someone, you must go on a date...
- at night, in the morning, - And also in the afternoon.
and also in the day.
- You are a relationship guru. - "So this..."
"So this is how he actually looks."
"This is how his body looks."
Right?
I told you. I used to date a man only at night.
When we finally met in the day, things just went wrong.
(That's a bitter experience, but it's funny.)
Ma'am, what are you mostly worried about?
He says he has to go golfing when he can...
because he can't go once the baby is born.
But I am afraid that even after the baby is born,
- He might still go. - he might insist on going golfing.
When the baby is born,
will you only go golfing when she allows?
Are you willing to go golfing less?
Yes. I will go golfing only once a week.
I hope she will let me go.
You won't if she doesn't let you?
- Right. - She wants to go out too,
but once she gives birth, she can't go anywhere.
Right. I should do that.
"I should do that."
(He's forced to say it.)
- I could go into labor any time. - Right.
If I go into labor at night while he's away,
I would call my parents since they live nearby.
When my parents come, he can't do his job as a husband.
He might live the rest of his life conscious of my parents...
and with the feeling of guilt. That's what worries me.
That's what worries you. You worry about your husband.
You want him to be respected as the son-in-law.
- Yes. - That's what you want.
What I feel the sorriest about is this.
Whether you go out or not, never say, "What would I do at home?"
You should never say that in life...
- in any situations. - Right. It's ridiculous.
If you don't talk to each other, you will continue to not talk.
You just talk about...
- useless things to each other. - Right.
You don't always have to talk serious.
You just talk. That's what a married couple does.
That's what brothers do. That's what friends do.
- Right. - I hope you will make that a habit.
Dong Yeob, what do you do when you are at home?
My wife always tells me, "Stop talking! Stop!"
She does that.
"Shut your mouth, please!"
- She... - You talk so much.
There must be something...
you want from your wife.
Don't just stay home, watch TV and sleep.
Go outside, exercise, or meet your friends.
Go on a trip with them.
I am okay with everything.
Then give her money to go on a trip.
What makes me sad is this.
Your generation gives up 3, 5, or even 7 things.
They give up being in a relationship.
They get married but can't afford having a child.
They go, "I'll work hard for a year."
"After one year, I will play all I want."
"But since I'm married, I'll take the responsibility for just a year."
But you have nothing like that.
You don't give her any money.
Yet you say, "Don't just look at me. Go on a trip with your friends."
She can't even afford to buy a single milk bottle.
I am so frustrated. So frustrated.
If you were my nephew, I would...
I would feed him a bowl of really spicy cold noodles.
There's a good place in Oksu-dong.
Why would you talk about food here?
Why would you?
- It was going well. - Right.
- It'll make him come to his senses. - It has to have a lot of capsaicin.
There's a good place in Oksu-dong. If you eat that, you just die.
Can you see how serious this is?
Yes.
Like what Yeong Ja said, you are not responsible at all.
- Ro Woon raised his hand. - Ro Woon.
I am 23, and she's 24.
There must be so many things she wants to do.
You chose to go golfing because that's more important to you.
This is the fact.
So from now on...
- What is he talking about? - Anything else?
- Ro Woon. - For him, golfing is...
- I said something harsh. - more important than his wife.
So you have to say something harsher.
Come to your senses.
(Come to your senses.)
That's it. That's it.
(Ro Woon thinks it's a worry.)
I think it's a worry.
I think it will be even more of a problem...
if he still thinks like this after the baby is born.
- I think he needs to fix it. - Right.
- Shin Ji is scary. - I think it's a worry.
I think he has the potential to become...
a great husband and a father.
I will trust him, and I won't press the button.
Ji Seon trusts him.
If you think this is a worry, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- I think we'll get a lot of votes. - Stop.
This is the most important moment for you.
What do you want to tell your wife?
We are newly married,
and you are young and pregnant.
I am so sorry that I have been so inconsiderate.
When the baby is born, I will make up for what I did...
and do twice or three times better.
Please give me a chance to prove myself.
(Trust me.)
I love you.
(He says he loves her.)
Can you trust him now?
- I trust him. - Will you trust him?
- Yes. - All right.
Let's see how many votes they got.
"The Sad Newlywed Life".
(The last digit is 5.)
(His wife is pregnant, but he's obsessed with golfing.)
Out of 200, she got more than 100 votes.
There are a lot of girls, so we never know.
- Let's see. - 145.
(She got 145 votes.)
"An Unusual Worry".
This is the first time for us to hear about this kind of worry.
Hello. I am a woman in her 20s suffering from insomnia.
There's a war going on in my house 365 days a year.
"Follow me! Attack!"
"What are you doing? Pull that man down and execute him."
You know the drama "Taejo Wang Geon", right?
It was aired in 2000.
Was it that long ago?
My father has been watching "Taejo Wang Geon"...
for 10 years.
(He's been repeatedly watching it for 10 years.)
He's a "Taejo Wang Geon" fanatic.
"Dad, please."
"Can't we watch another drama?"
"You can't. We have to watch 'Taejo Wang Geon'."
"It is the best drama ever made."
Every day, he watches it for 3 to 4 hours.
When it gets serious, he watches it all day long, for 24 hours.
My goodness.
"It's really nice to eat outside, isn't it, Dad?"
"Hurry. Are you done?"
"Let's go home. I have to watch 'Taejo Wang Geon'."
He turns up the volume so loudly...
that even our cat covers his ears when he sleeps.
He must sleep like this.
"Come on, Dad. You are driving me insane."
"Please turn down the volume."
"How dare you say that when you live off my house?"
- Her dad said that? - He sounds like Wang Geon.
He sounds like Wang Geon.
Wang Geon, Wang Geon, Wang Geon!
Whenever I hear Choi Soo Jong's voice,
I feel like throwing up.
Our dog's name was Gung Ye.
(Their dog's name was Gung Ye.)
Will you be able to help me with this ridiculous worry?
She sent us the letter.
This is fun.
What do you think about this story?
When I first tried bowling...
You usually do a rehearsal for a music show at 6 to 7am.
You get picked up around 5am.
- I played bowling until 4am. - You stayed up all night.
I got picked up at the bowling alley.
I went to the studio for the rehearsal,
went back home to sleep, and went to the bowling alley.
- To work at the event. - You're totally into bowling.
- You're a buff. - I fell for it late.
It's true that "Emperor Wang Gun" is a great drama.
But watching it all along for 10 years is...
not an everyday occurrence.
Here's the one who's worried. Please come out!
(Who's worried about a dad who fell for "Emperor Wang Gun"?)
(Choi Ye Seul)
It's impossible that your dad can be like that,
when we think about it rationally.
Has he really been only watching "Emperor Wang Gun" for 10 years?
Yes. He really only watched "Emperor Wang Gun" for 10 years.
I don't remember when it was since I was little,
but Dad has always been watching television since then.
- I realized later... - Was it the drama?
that only Choi Soo Jong appeared on television.
(Soo Jong is monopolizing the television.)
- That makes sense. - How old were you?
Soo Jong is a romantic and good man to the public.
I don't have hard feelings for him but I'm starting to hate him...
because of my dad.
- You don't want to see him? - Yes.
(How can you?)
If your dad is watching dramas because he likes Soo Jong,
he'd watch dramas like "Dae Jo Young" too.
No, he only watches "Emperor Wang Gun".
- It's not that he likes Soo Jong? - Not really.
Has your dad told you the reason why he likes the drama?
He just said that there's no drama as good as "Emperor Wang Gun".
It's just the best, he means.
(There's no drama as good as "Emperor Wang Gun".)
(Do I really have to say that in words?)
Does he watch all the episodes from the beginning to the end?
- Or... - He watches all the episodes,
and the biggest problem is,
when there's a scene he likes,
he watches the scene repeatedly.
I've actually never seen "Emperor Wang Gun".
You haven't watched it at all when your dad watches it all the time?
- It's unbelievable. - It's because she got sick.
So as he repeats watching it,
there are sounds I repeatedly hear.
For example, Gung Ye says, "What is reading minds?"
- He said such a thing, and... - "I am the Maitreya."
There's a sound that goes when "Emperor Wang Gun" ends.
(Imitating a musical sound)
She memorized it only by hearing it.
That's exactly the sound!
(I memorized it in spite of myself.)
(Let's check it out.)
(After the ending scene)
(This is the sound!)
(The melody is similar.)
They prepared the scene about reading minds.
You might be able to remember it when you watch this.
- It's this scene! - This is it!
(That's right.)
(She got a headache already.)
He acted so well.
(Viewers, you can watch it too.)
What is reading minds?
(Reading minds is reading your minds with my mind.)
(This is captivating.)
(All of you, as one...)
(are filled with feces! I mean feces!)
I, Maitreya, want to run,
(You sticks of feces can't follow me.)
(A strong closing line)
"You sticks of feces can't follow me."
How many times do you think he watched that scene?
I wash my hair at night.
I've heard that whenever I washed my hair.
I heard it whenever I dry my hair after washing it.
"You are filled with feces! You are a stick of feces!"
"You are feces even if you wash yourself!" Did you hear that?
- Then the daughter... - "You should listen."
Gosh, that surprised me.
Then the daughter...
(The same scene is repeated.)
Gosh, that surprised me.
Is he watching this repeatedly?
Is he doing it repeatedly like this?
(Goodness)
"What is it?"
"It is reading your minds with my mind."
"I read your minds that way and saw them."
All of you, as one...
"are filled with feces! I mean feces!"
"You sticks of feces can't follow me."
(Even the audience joins.)
(I want to get away from it.)
(It's finally over.)
(What?)
- You should listen. - What? No!
(You're trapped.)
No, no!
Please! Stop it!
- "You should listen." - I know! I'm a stick of feces!
- You're so familiar with it. - Yes.
But, let's be honest.
You said your dad watches "Emperor Wang Gun" for 24 hours.
- That's a little bit... - Right.
- I'm not lying. - 24 hours? He needs sleep.
- Right. - He can't watch it for 24 hours.
The first thing he does after he gets off work...
is turning on "Emperor Wang Gun" and he watches it until he sleeps.
- You know he has a day off. - Right.
On his day off, he watches "Emperor Wang Gun" from morning to night.
I guess he sleeps with the drama turned on.
Yes. He goes to sleep listening to the sound of the drama.
- Is that true? - You can turn it off...
- when he falls asleep. - I've turned it off once.
When I turned it off, he opened his eyes...
and said, "I'm not sleeping."
(He must have been reading minds.)
He was watching you and he said, "I'm not sleeping."
- "I was watching you." - You also wrote this.
- He says, "You're living off me." - Goodness.
Yes, he says that too.
"You are just sticks of feces living off me"
- That's scary. - I know.
It doesn't end when he turns it on.
It's a drama with battle scenes. It's very noisy.
He watched it with the volume turned up high.
Let's say the maximum volume is 100. He turns the volume to 70.
- What? - That's two thirds.
So I got sleeping disorders...
and suffer from chronic fatigue.
That's why you're thin.
Recently, I have ringing in the ears too.
Your condition got serious.
If she has ringing in the ears...
- It's like after a performance. - You hear loud sounds.
Is it that loud?
- Yes. It's really loud. - Like you're in a performance.
"Emperor Wang Gun" has more than 100 episodes, right?
- It has 200 episodes. - 200 episodes?
- Is it that much? - It'd take much time to see it all.
If each episode is 1 hour long, it takes 200 hours.
Is watching "Emperor Wang Gun" the only thing left for Dad?
- He cares about nothing. - Let's ask him.
Hello, Mr!
(Who's her dad who's so into "Emperor Wang Gun"?)
Hello.
You can understand her worry, can't you?
(Can you understand her worry?)
I mean, I'm...
only watching "Emperor Wang Gun".
- Only "Emperor Wang Gun". - He's just watching that drama.
I come back home after working hard...
and watch "Emperor Wang Gun".
I don't think that's...
a big worry.
But you're watching it too much.
It depends on the people.
Some people watch it more and some people watch it less.
How do you watch it 24 hours a day?
I don't do that every day.
If you watch "Emperor Wang Gun",
- I didn't know it at first, - Yes.
you fall into its charm.
(I fell into it in spite of myself.)
- You fall into its charm. - Let's hear what it is.
(Don't you get sick of it after watching it for 10 years?)
Your daughter is so sick of "Emperor Wang Gun".
She says she hates it so much.
Well, she's the one who hates it. It's not me.
(A true paternal love of this time)
- He's right. - It's her who hates it.
Goodness. I'm at a loss for words.
- He's a typical Chungcheong man. - I'm speechless.
If your daughter tells you, "Dad, can I watch something else?"
Would you still watch it?
- We have two televisions. - Yes.
I watch it in the master bedroom when others are in the living room.
When it's dinner time,
I get curious about the drama.
- You can watch it after dinner. - Are you still curious?
I'm curious at any rate.
It seems like he doesn't want to miss any scene.
- That's not the problem. - He keeps watching it.
You turn up the volume so loud that even the cat covers its ears.
Of course it'll annoy her.
The cat is, strictly speaking,
a tenant at my house. It's renting my place.
It can avoid the sound if it wants.
- I see. - Mr, I wonder...
if your hearing is poor.
I don't know. I operate heavy equipment...
and work in a loud environment, so I might have bad hearing.
Do you work operating heavy equipment?
He's an engineer.
It makes loud noise like this.
What I'm really curious is, there are many historical dramas.
Why do you particularly watch this one?
I think there's nothing as good as "Emperor Wang Gun".
(There's nothing as good as "Emperor Wang Gun".)
Other dramas are all sticks of feces.
"Emperor Wang Gun" is only the best.
Have you ever seen "Hello"?
I haven't at all.
No wonder.
When she asked you to appear on this show,
did you say, "What's that?"
- I wondered what it was and saw it, - Yes.
but I didn't like it.
He didn't like it.
There are celebrities here, but you might not know them.
Do you know who I am?
Of course I do.
I don't appear in "Emperor Wang Gun". How do you know me?
- You live in my neighborhood. - What?
Do you know what I do on television?
You were a comedian in the past.
A comedian in the past, a comedienne now.
You were a bus conductor.
(He's talking about what she did 20 years ago.)
You performed as a bus conductor.
(Thank you for remembering that.)
Do you watch it from the beginning to the end?
Or do you watch your favorite scenes repeatedly?
I watch it in order, or since I can replay it,
I also watch my favorite scenes again.
What are your favorite scenes?
- The scene that got me hooked, - Your most favorite scene.
was the Sinan Sea Battle scene.
- They met a headwind. - A headwind blew.
They couldn't win at all with a headwind...
because they couldn't shoot arrows due to the wind.
He's excited now that we're listening to him.
- So? - A schemer...
Tae Pyeong finds out the southeasterly wind.
(Wang Gun prays to the sky.)
(Please change the northwest wind to the southeast wind!)
Does it change?
- It changes. - The long hair guy changes it?
How can this happen?
It's the southeast wind.
(They laugh at the old-fashioned development of the story.)
It's the southeast wind.
(He's delighted.)
(They start attacking the ships!)
Look at the stunt's performance!
It's amazing.
(His eyes are fixed.)
Goodness.
(Gyeon Hwon is in panic.)
(He wins thanks to the help from above.)
- Was there a scene like this? - This one?
"How can this happen?"
Do you still get absorbed when you watch it now?
- Do you fall for it? - Sure. I like it.
- You like the battle scenes. - I don't.
What?
- You like the battle scenes. - I don't.
(He's firm.)
(He has a very clear stance.)
We need to listen to him.
- I'm a stick of feces! - He said no.
- You're wrong. - You're a stick of feces.
("Stick of feces" might be a new catchphrase.)
If you're so into it, I wonder...
if you can imitate the actors too.
Wang Gun...
- or Gyeon Hwon? - No, Sin Geom.
- Sin Geom? - Sin Geom is Gyeon Hwon's son.
His father scolds him furiously when he loses battles.
Since he's afraid of it, that leads him to...
vent his anger like this.
- I'm curious. - He stays like this...
(We're curious.)
(Throwing a tantrum)
What did he do?
What's going on?
You're the only one enjoying it.
(Let's check the original video.)
Stupid punks.
Go and arrange the army now!
(Gyeon Hwon's eldest son can't get the better of his anger.)
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
(Now this is the scene!)
Goodness gracious!
(It's totally the same.)
Your line was different.
"Goodness gracious"!
Please do it one more time now that we all saw it.
I missed the king of Goryeo when I almost got him!
Goodness gracious!
(We respect you.)
(Imagine hearing that for 10 years.)
Now, the production crew...
prepared a quiz to see...
how much you know about the drama.
We'll show you a separate scene...
in "Emperor Wang Gun".
Please tell us what it's about.
Emperor Wang Gun quiz!
Your majesty, we will reach Muan-gun tonight.
And by the morning, we'll use the land route...
and reach Yeongsan River in Naju.
Yes. Naju.
Please take a rest, Your Majesty.
Thanks to the good wind,
you can get there fast and in comfort.
(This is the line!)
Me!
- It's not over yet. - Not yet?
- The line is long. - It's long.
How can he memorize this?
(It's long.)
How come the line is so long?
- How can anyone memorize it? - You're right.
(She's flustered.)
He should speak it more slowly.
He seems to be dwelling on his own misfortune.
- Go ahead. - It's too long.
I need to think about it more.
I didn't imagine it would be this long.
- Do you remember it? - Yes.
Don't say it. We'll get the answer. What do you think, Ro Woon?
(What does Ro Woon think?)
So Baekje is like...
(He stammers.)
- "I'm upset." - "What happened to Ro Woon?"
(He speaks like Gyeon Hwon.)
"He's a stick of feces. Stick of feces!"
- I think... - He knows what it is.
I...
"What am I eating first when I get to Naju?"
"It must be Naju gomtang."
"In Naju..."
"they need to boil it for 24 hours."
- Mr. - Yes.
- You remember what it's about? - Yes.
I'm leaving my hometown now.
What's there to hurry?
Why do I have to hurry? It goes like this.
- Does it? - Let's look at the answer again.
Thanks to the good wind, you can get there fast and in comfort.
(Can he get the answer?)
Going fast and comfortably?
What's there to go so fast?
I'm leaving Baekje.
Why do I have to hurry?
(It's almost perfect!)
(He's recognized as an avid "Emperor Wang Gun" fan.)
We gave a quiz on the drama.
Now we'll quiz you on your life.
When is your wedding anniversary?
April...
No. I guess he knows it.
It's April...
What's the date?
"You're a stick of feces!"
(She feels bitter.)
- Your dad is so... - He looks happy.
happy.
I guess a few people are thinking...
that it might be nice to understand him. How do you think?
Dad is the only one who's happy.
Mom uses the master bedroom with Dad.
Since the sound from the television is loud and Dad selects the channel,
they have an argument 3 to 4 times a week.
- Goodness. - Because of that.
Mom must be having a hard time.
Do you really fight over television often at home?
We used to do that a lot before.
Now I gave up...
because that only makes things better.
You say you're fighting over television on the surface,
but actually your husband is paying attention...
only to his work and the drama.
You can't communicate with each other.
You might feel lonely because of it.
- Even if you're together... - You must feel sorry.
Yes, right.
I lie down...
when I'm ill...
- and it gets too loud. - You can get annoyed.
When I'm ill, I can't sleep well.
When a battle scene comes out,
what comes out on television comes out in my dreams.
Right. That's possible.
It comes out as a dream,
- It must be so hard. - I sometimes have a nightmare.
I have to run away, but my feet won't move.
- And I wake up. - Goodness.
You could have sleep paralysis.
(That's what I'm saying.)
Once he falls for something, he seems to fall really hard to it.
Has he been into something else before?
He said he'd like to play the saxophone as a hobby.
He'd been saying it for some time.
- Saxophone? - I gave him...
some help to do it.
Right. If only he can forget "Emperor Wang Gun".
Right.
But he watched the drama as usual...
and the saxophone was really loud too.
In our youngest daughter's room...
he set up audio equipment too.
The problem is,
Dad is the president of the saxophone club.
He plays it in front of me...
asking me to evaluate it...
3 or 4 times a week.
It's the same when I'm eating, having a friend come over,
having relatives at home, and eating out.
He keeps playing it asking for comments.
It's so hard for me.
First, let's see you playing the saxophone.
Yes, let's listen to him.
(Let's check out how he plays the saxophone.)
(Playing earnestly)
[VIU Ver] E374 Hello Counselor "We Need a Loving Dad" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
- It's that song. - "By the Stream".
Right.
(His skillful performance reveals how much he had practiced.)
(Great)
(However...)
(His family doesn't look happy.)
Other people are all delighted,
but his family is not smiling.
They might have heard the same thing over and over again.
I've heard it so much.
I'm just sick of it.
Are you having a hard time due to the drama and the saxophone?
Yes.
To be honest, I'm fine with my room taken as his workroom,
but I've become the traitor at home.
- Why? - A traitor?
Yes. I've downloaded the whole series...
from the Internet and gave him the USB.
- You mean all 200 episodes? - I paid for it...
and thought, "It's just a drama. Dad, you can watch this!"
I've never imagined this would happen.
(Everyone groans.)
("Emperor Wang Gun" is the best.)
After he took my room,
I just left home because of my work.
My sister and Dad always argue,
- "Turn down the volume!" - "It's my home. Get out!"
They argue like this...
and Mom is ill in the room.
So I ended up not visiting home.
She's saying it like a joke,
but if she's not coming home for such reasons...
wouldn't you feel sorry and upset later?
- I'll be sorry. - Right.
It's about you!
Before your dad fell for "Emperor Wang Gun",
how was he as a dad?
We were very happy.
We didn't compete...
over the television channel at all.
We talked about our day having dinner together.
- Right. - We used to do that,
but now, even if I go home after a long time,
when I greet, "Dad, I'm home!"
he just says, "Hi." and watches the drama.
So I almost gave up on him.
Once he's...
into something,
the family seems to be feeling pushed away.
I think they're dissatisfied with that.
What do you think about it?
I agree with you. I do.
We need to cooperate, I'll watch less of "Emperor Wang Gun"...
He'll watch less of "Emperor Wang Gun".
When the family is eating together,
- you should... - You shouldn't watch it.
Wang Geon wouldn't want to...
dine with you either.
When you eat with your family, you shouldn't watch it.
Can't you do that for your family?
I can do more than that.
- All right. - You are great.
(Why didn't you do this earlier?)
- Say something to your dad. - Yes.
Dad, I am a member of the family too.
So I hope you won't always put me down.
When we have problems, let's try to work them out...
and live well. I will clean well too.
All right.
Let's begin with Ji Seon.
I think it's not a worry.
- From the daughter's perspective. - I trust him.
- I think it's a worry. - All right.
- I don't think it's a worry. - It's not a worry.
I think it's a worry.
In family relationship, doing what other family members...
like is important.
But it's also important to not do what they don't like.
- Right. - They have been consistently...
telling him that they don't like it, but he didn't listen.
I think it's not a worry.
Seoul people get easily fooled...
by what the man from Chungcheong Province says.
Girls from Chungcheong Province... are all very frustrated.
This is why. People from Chungcheong Province...
sound very gentle.
They are stubborn, but they say, "Okay." And they don't change.
- "I'll change." They don't change. - That's so frustrating.
- They don't change. - It's really frustrating.
- I think it's a worry after all. - My goodness.
If you sympathize with her, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Stop.
Sir, please say something to your family.
First of all, I am sorry.
No, talk to her.
- See? - Look at that.
- "First of all, I am sorry." - Talk to your daughter.
I want to say this to my daughter.
Since high school, she's been away.
- Talk to your daughter, please. - You've been away.
I wanted to give you a lot of love,
but I didn't get to. You say I'm addicted to the drama,
but I am not.
I will watch it less...
so that you won't be affected by it.
- I will do that. - He's a great father.
I love you, honey.
(I love you, my daughter.)
All right. Let's find out how many votes she got.
Let's check the result.
The person ranking first got 145 votes.
"An Unusual Worry". It is indeed very unusual.
(How many votes will...)
("An Unusual Worry" get?)
89.
(She got 89 votes.)
- Well done. - I will introduce the next story.
It's titled, "Who Am I Living For?"
- Can you play the friend? - Okay.
Hello. I am Kim Beom Seok.
I am from Gyeongsang Province, and I run a barbecue restaurant.
Everyone says things are tough because of the recession.
But I am busy all day long.
"Beom Seok, are you busy? Hurry and come on out."
What if he was a girl from Pyongyang?
"Beom Seok, are you busy? Hurry out."
(She once again became a North Korean art troupe member.)
"Right now? Why?"
"I opened a restaurant next to yours."
"Shouldn't you come and raise the sales?"
"Businessmen are supposed to help each other."
- She's good. - She's good.
She sounds very natural, doesn't she?
What if he was a girl from Pyongyang?
"Businessmen are supposed to help each other."
Bravo!
You are the best!
- It's been a long time. - That was great.
Helping each other is great. But the problem is this.
"I have a group reservation today, so I can't go."
"I am busy running my own restaurant, you know?"
"Why do you talk like that?"
"You know the lady from the barbecue restaurant next door, right?"
"She's got herniated disc."
"Who's going to help her? We are going to help her."
- That's being nosy. - "Let's go wash the dishes."
"You know the lady from Mapo, right?"
"She's making kimchi alone."
- "Who's going to help her?" - "Who's going to help her?"
It's going to be us.
Let's go.
From doing all kinds of chores to making 500 cabbages into kimchi,
he takes me everywhere.
One day, he said this.
"Beom Seok, I opened an internet community..."
"so that people running business can help each other."
"I am the manager, and you are the assistant manager."
Unexpectedly,
I became the assistant manager of an internet community.
When can I run my restaurant?
Please help me.
He sounds like a great and loyal friend.
The neighbors must think he's a great man.
People say the world is still a good place to live...
because of these people.
What do you think?
- I think he's great. - Yes.
But he should take care of his business before helping others.
Not getting your things done...
and helping other people means there's no life for you.
Right. Let's bring in the guest first.
Actually, he recently fractured his ribs.
We will tell you what happened later.
- He must've helped someone. - Please come on out.
(Who can't work because of his friend who drags him around?)
(Ro Woon escorts him.)
(Kim Beom Seok)
Are you all right?
- This way. - My goodness.
You are wearing the waist support.
Which ones did you fracture? The 9th and 11th...
got snapped.
They are not just cracked? Did they break?
My goodness.
Are you running the restaurant with your hometown friend?
We are not running it together. I am running a beef...
barbecue restaurant in Jinhae with my parents.
- How about your friend? - He runs three restaurants...
in Busan and Chang Won.
- Three? - You are not business partners.
You don't live in the same area either.
Right.
Are all the entrepreneurs from across Gyeongsang Province...
members of this community?
No, it's not like that.
It first began with 40 to 50 people.
- Then... - That's a lot.
Now there are about 2,000 members in the community.
(The community got quite big.)
How long have you known each other?
- About 20 years. - 20 years.
- It's been a long time. - When did you become close?
We became very close when I started running a business...
and asked for his help.
He had more experiences in business.
Suddenly, about three years ago,
he said he needed to bring all the entrepreneurs together.
He said we should all help each other.
- That's good idea. - I liked the intention.
Then he suddenly told me, "I choose you as my partner."
So without a choice, I became the assistant manager.
Did it make you feel bad that you are the assistant manager?
In my restaurant, I am the owner.
- But I got degraded to a manager. - You got degraded.
Before coming here, you turned him down many times...
- saying that you are busy. - He turned him down many times.
- But he came to your house and... - He insisted you...
- to go with him. - took you with him. Is that it?
My business has to do well...
- Of course. - before I help other people.
Sometimes, he visits me every day, day and night.
He comes all the time.
If he's busy, he visits me three times a week.
- That's not much? - That's not much?
This happened once too. "Hey!"
"Let's go." He just forced me into his car and left.
And suddenly he took me to Busan.
We went to a restaurant opening that day.
But I had a group reserved for dinner.
When I got back to the restaurant, it was a complete mess.
Like I said in the letter,
there is an elder who runs a pork galbi restaurant.
Every year, she makes 500-cabbage worth of kimchi.
I have no choice but to help her.
But I can't complain,
because he brings...
all of his family members. Even his son helps out.
(That's so tiring.)
- The whole family helps. - To help them make kimchi?
So I just do it too.
(It must be tough.)
I have a question. What other things did you help him with?
I've helped other restaurant owners to move tables...
and to redecorate the restaurant.
If someone's cook doesn't show up,
we go there to do the dishes. But the problem is this.
I can't refuse to do it because of this reason.
When we started the restaurant,
he helped us a lot. You don't know much at the start, you know?
He chose the menu.
- He promoted our restaurant. - You should be thankful.
But when he came up with the community three years ago,
he started saying this to me. "Who would do it? We should do it."
That's how it all began.
I saw his friend. He's always ready to help other people.
He looks like a rocket about to launch soon.
He's always ready to run out.
Hello.
- Hello. - Oh, my gosh.
I got up at 5am in Changwon and came here. Hello.
- Yes. - He's full of passion.
We heard your friend Beom Seok's story.
Did he exaggerate the story? Or did he tell the truth?
He was so nervous that he didn't get to talk well.
I am much worse than he puts it.
(Is that something to be proud of?)
- My goodness. - You are worse?
At hard times like this,
there are many people who are in need of help.
(He's a smooth talker.)
Look at Beom Seok.
He's big, right? He works really well.
Are you two the only ones going around and helping people?
I've asked other people to join us,
but after once or twice, they got sick of it.
- They went out of reach. - So it's just the two of you.
It would be nicer if more people help us.
But he's the one who stayed with me until the end.
- He wants to leave. - Did he choose to stay?
It's because he's too good.
Then why did you make the club, and what's the mission?
Now, our club...
to relax when we do business.
But he seems to find it uncomfortable.
Many business owners are struggling.
- As you know. - That's true.
The only way to overcome this period is...
(Chuckling)
- The way you speak... - The way he speaks...
Is that how you always talk?
I'm not nervous at all.
- Is that how you always talk? - Yes.
He is driven.
He thinks it's his mission.
- So? - So I told him,
"Let's make a group..."
"where we help each other."
That's how the group started.
Your business needs to thrive first...
in order to help others.
I'll be honest.
You're being nosy if you help others when your business isn't thriving.
- Right. That's being nosy. - Yes.
Fortunately, my business is doing well.
Fortunately?
I'm grateful of it.
Is it your own business?
Do you have anyone working?
I work with my parents.
Your parents must be struggling.
Sometimes I follow him too much...
that I have conflict with my parents.
- I feel uncomfortable. - That's why it's a problem.
You have to help others...
despite having conflict with your parents.
If you want to help others so much,
you could go alone.
Many hands make light work.
(Many hands make light work.)
Many hands make light work,
but he has family.
He had a fight...
with his mother before...
that they didn't talk for three days.
So now, I park far away...
from his house.
"Hey. Hurry up."
- That's even worse. - We meet like Romeo and Juliet.
(He's hopeless.)
(I'd rather not see it.)
Since I followed him for three years,
I even had clinical tests.
Clinical tests?
Clinical tests in restaurants?
I can't eat spicy food.
One day, he said there was spicy braised chicken.
He said it was a new menu.
From a different restaurant?
I told him I can't eat spicy food.
He said I must try it to give him advice.
I forced myself to eat it.
I ended up having stomach cramps at night.
You got sick.
I went to the emergency.
I'm scared of edges.
- Many people are. - I know.
Because of that, I hate injections.
- Sharp things. - Yes.
I didn't even know I was going to the acupuncture clinic.
Did someone open a new acupuncture clinic?
I got caught...
and forced to have an acupuncture treatment.
You had to pretend like a customer.
One day, he wanted to get some fresh air.
He said one hair salon got...
a new hair bleach.
- Hair bleach. - To practice on your hair.
I got blond hair regardless of my will.
The thing is since I run a Korean beef restaurant,
I have many old customers.
Suddenly, there's a blond standing in the door.
- They're shocked. - What is it?
When the acupuncture clinic opened?
That's the acupuncture.
You must've been scared.
(Oh, my goodness.)
When they got a new hair dye.
(All hairdressers tested hair bleach on him.)
Every hairdresser is on him.
- Wait. - You see it now.
Don't elders complain if you work in the restaurant like that?
Why don't you get the acupuncture treatment yourself?
Same as spicy braised chicken.
It's easier to do it together rather than alone.
That's true.
I didn't know he couldn't eat spicy food.
When you said it was spicy,
- he said he couldn't eat it. - He said it.
I thought he was enjoying it.
I heard he went to the emergency the next day.
I apologize now.
How about hair dye?
One of the members runs a hair salon.
He said he needs a hair model.
You can do it yourself.
The head coach doesn't play the game.
What?
(What's he saying?)
He's handsome. He has a big head.
He was looking for a model, but he couldn't find one.
(When would it stop?)
I want to ask you. Are you here...
because you don't want to follow him anymore?
- To refuse it? - I want him to...
reduce it now.
I can't focus on my business.
- How did you fracture your rib? - What happened?
I was curious.
I'm wearing a waist support.
(He's wearing a waist support for the show.)
- That's right. - I'm wearing a waist support.
I need to stay home and rest.
He wanted to go to a valley in preparation for...
summer business.
- A rally? - Yes.
I don't know how that's related to business.
I had to find a spot with a cooler.
- I tripped on the way. - My goodness.
- You hit the rock? - Yes.
That was risky.
Goodness.
Your parents must've been shocked.
My wife is upset more than my parents.
- You're married? - Yes.
Sir.
My apology to your number 9 and 11 ribs.
(My apology to your number 9 and 11 ribs.)
Also,
that night,
I drove him home, sprayed patch and made him ramyeon.
If I were his wife,
then I would hate him.
- Especially when he's injured. - Yes.
I have sons, one in Grade 2, and a 7-year-old.
- They're needy. - Yes.
I need to help my wife with children after work.
I need to help her with chores.
I'm more curious about your wife.
I believe your wife should be here.
That must be your wife. Hello.
- Hello. - Yes.
How is it?
The thing is...
he opened three restaurants,
- but I'm taking care of everything. - That's what I mean.
I need to take care of my children and business.
- I also need to work on chores. - Do you have employees?
- I need my husband, - Of course.
but he's not around.
Sometimes I find it hard.
I'm starting to think...
he's become irresponsible.
When was the moment...
you found him the most irresponsible?
He either doesn't tell me...
where he's going or tells me late.
It's busiest in the lunchtime.
He posts a video of himself diving in the water at that time.
(Uploading a video of him in water)
Or if he posts a video of a different store,
it upsets me.
- He's somewhere else again. - His own business is busy.
If he has a different job, she wouldn't care,
but if he's not around when they work together,
- it makes her even more upset. - Of course.
I have three small businesses.
I struggle to buy...
good products for cheap price.
- I struggle to make more profit. - Of course.
He has many meetings,
and he tends to pay for everything.
He easily spends 2 to 3,000 dollars.
(2,000 to 3,000 dollars a month)
When that happens,
I don't see the point of...
- saving. - Right.
Sir. Tell me what's going on.
I hear her now.
But you need to know that...
when you do business,
you realize you benefit more...
when you help other people's business.
- What? - What do you mean?
(What?)
- What do you mean? - How does that work?
I opened a restaurant last year.
All the owners I helped until now...
all swarmed in.
Their friends and their parents.
So, the neighbors think...
"That place is crowded even in recession."
Because I helped them, they help me back.
That's what you believe.
It makes me wonder what makes him say that.
He said he likes to help other people's business...
- more than his own. - He benefits from it.
Then you should let your wife help others...
rather than doing your business.
Your wife is working on her own business.
If it's that good, the whole family should do it.
You know...
- one person is enough. - Pardon?
That's the husband's role and the wife's role.
We have different roles.
Then...
(Ridiculous)
You're saying when a couple works together,
they're not doing it right?
You can't say that.
You're not making sense.
Some people do that.
For me, I listen to other people's problems,
I realize I benefit...
- a lot from it. - You admit that, right?
You have three businesses,
and you leave it all up to your wife,
and focus on your members, don't you?
- I admit it. - Okay.
I'm curious.
Why do you never...
discuss it with your wife?
Don't jeer at me.
Your life becomes easier if you just tell your wife...
instead of discussing it with her.
(Gasping)
(Jeering)
Seriously.
You know it.
"You know it."
(What do we know?)
Why are you looking at us?
(Disappointed)
Honestly at first, I didn't think...
it wasn't big of a problem.
- At first. - But he has a stubborn attitude.
(He's the most stubborn.)
By saying not to jeer,
he's aware that this is wrong,
but he's still doing it.
I'm sorry, but helping others...
doesn't make you look great.
Many people are here today.
Let's meet them one by one.
I... This...
- The son. - I'm his son.
You're their son?
Right.
- How old are you? - I'm 16.
- 16. - Grade 9.
I heard you were disappointed on your parents' wedding anniversary.
What disappointed you?
We were supposed to have dinner together.
But my dad went to a gathering...
instead of eating with us. I was disappointed.
Did you tell your dad you were disappointed?
I told my dad that I was disappointed,
and he said he would change, but he doesn't seem to have changed.
He went out even on Chuseok instead of spending time with his family.
I was disappointed.
Did he help someone make songpyeon?
What did you do on Chuseok?
Many small business owners are lonely on holidays.
- That's true. - Especially...
- What about your own family? - He sounds like...
- a politician. "My fellow Koreans." - He starts every sentence...
- with "small business owners". - "My fellow Koreans."
(He speaks like a politician.)
Has your mom ever seem distressed...
because your dad came home late too often?
Since my dad goes out often,
she eats dinner alone at home.
She seemed sad while eating alone.
Especially on our anniversary or birthdays of our family members,
he said his dad was too mean...
- because I was crying. - Your son did?
- Oh, no. She cried. - He was disappointed in his dad.
- I feel upset at times like that. - I see.
I think we picked the wrong day for our wedding.
We got married on Christmas Eve.
- How could you say such a thing? - Business owners are busy.
I shouldn't have picked a holiday.
- Gosh. - Many small business owners...
are lonely on Christmas Eve.
(Can't you see your family members who want to spend time with you?)
So what did you do that day? Did you work at your store?
- I had a party with other owners. - My gosh.
- You had a party with them? - What frustrates me is...
Every store is crowded on Christmas Eve.
How did you hold a party on a busy day like that?
They're always so happy to see me. How can I not go to see them?
Although my family members...
- may feel a little sad... - Hold on.
(I can make the small business owners happy.)
- Hold on. - Are you serious?
(Did he mean that?)
Yes. However, I have affection for my family...
just like everyone else does. I love my family.
You see...
If you think about it...
- Why are you laughing? - You're all talk.
(He's all talk and no action.)
- Exactly. - That's what I wanted to say.
Gosh. Seriously.
My heart is always with my family I love.
- But? - My body is always...
with the small business owners.
- So... - That's ridiculous.
Do you... The small business owners who love each other...
- are here. - Small business owners.
Hello. I'm Kim Seong Hyun. I run a barbershop in Jinhae.
- He's a barbershop owner. - A barbershop?
Hello. I'm Jo Eun Joo. I run a braised chicken restaurant.
- Braised spicy chicken. - Braised spicy chicken.
Let's talk to the barbershop owner who was in charge of hair dye.
I started my business about three years ago.
In the beginning, I was stressed out because I had too few customers.
While going through a hard time, I came to know him...
through the internet community.
He cheered me up and helped me get more customers.
And a while later, I needed a hair model.
I called him to ask if he could help me find a hair model.
That's how Beom Seok came to my shop.
- Hang on a second. - Okay.
You just said something important. When he told us that story,
he said he told Beom Seok he would only have a new hair cut.
But it turns out he knew that you were going to...
- dye his hair, right? - He knew it.
I thought he wouldn't go there if he would get a hair dye.
So I said he'd only get a hair cut.
(Shocked)
- Beom Seok didn't know until now. - The truth has been revealed.
- You didn't know, right? - I had no idea.
I didn't know.
The barbershop owner must be grateful...
for his help, but there must be times when he feels it's too much.
- He has more experience than I do. - Yes.
It's kind of him to give me advice,
but he visits my barbershop 2 or 3 times a day,
and he often tells me what to do about my business.
- He criticizes you. - When a customer comes in,
I say, "Hello. How are you?"
He said, "Don't greet your customers like that. Watch me. Welcome!"
It's not like I'm running a barbecue restaurant.
- You run a barbershop. - Exactly.
- He made me greet people like that. - That's so funny.
- Just like gang members? - Yes.
He's so energetic.
- Is he an actor or something? - He's like an actor.
The barbershop owner mentioned it. Do you know the difference...
between giving advice and interfering?
If the person thinks it's advice, then it's advice.
But if it makes the person feel uncomfortable,
it can be considered as interference.
Yes. You're right about how it depends on the person's reaction.
That reaction changes at some point.
You're interfering him...
if you keep telling him to do as you advised him...
until he changes his way. I think that's interference.
I believe that's why other business owners feel uncomfortable.
(Nodding)
Since you're here, make sure to tell him...
everything you have in your mind. Okay?
- Okay. - This is a rare opportunity.
I got so tired of doing this after three years.
Now, I have to look after my children.
I believe children need their dad the most...
- when they're between 5 and 7. - That's right.
To be honest, I want to visit my parents-in-law too.
- How long has it been? - You couldn't visit them?
- I haven't visited them for a year. - Really?
- It's been about a year. - "I want to see my parents-in-law.
once or twice a week would be all right.
If you tell me where to go and what to do there,
- I can help you as much as I can. - Right.
- Go ahead. - Right now,
I feel a little uncomfortable.
- Tell him all you want to say. - You see...
it must be really difficult for Beom Seok to say this.
He's always been kind to Beom Seok trying to help him.
But it started to...
- make him uncomfortable. - It's understandable.
It must be really hard to say how he really feels.
I'm sure you had no idea that Beom Seok...
- has been having a hard time. - You should accept it.
Please tell us how you feel now.
- How do you feel? - Since he fractured...
the 9th and 11th ribs, I think he got tired.
If you're determined to achieve your goals...
and you want it sincerely, you can never get tired.
(You can never get tired.)
(Speechless)
(His excessive energy worn me out.)
Until the end of our lives,
we have to keep going.
Beom Seok, let's talk about this over makgeolli after this.
(I give up.)
(I just want to go home.)
- I mean... - I... To be honest...
- Did he hear anything we said? - I...
- He will never change. - I...
- After he heard Beom Seok, - He'll never change.
- he looked very serious. - People like him never change.
So I thought his feelings were hurt.
He wouldn't say it even if his feelings are hurt.
The person who must be shocked by what Beom Seok...
and the other business owners said...
is not him because he caused all the problems.
I'm sure his wife must be shocked the most.
He didn't even take care of his own business...
and his family saying he was helping others,
and that's why she put up with him.
She must be really upset after hearing how uncomfortable...
- his help made them. - Of course.
- Am I right? - His children must feel the same.
I think she feels like crying.
- She must be upset. - Well...
I think he behaved like that because he knows...
the problems to be faced by business owners.
- He has a kind heart. - He's a warm-hearted person.
When he goes out for a jog,
he carries five dollars in his pocket...
in case he sees a homeless person on the street.
- He's such a kind person. - Likewise, as the manager...
of the internet community,
if he loses his focus or becomes too relaxed,
- he's afraid... - It'd affect his group.
- it might affect others. - I understand.
He takes herbal medicine even when I don't remind him...
in order to gather up energy. It seems to me...
that he's forcing himself to keep going...
- as his wife. Yes. - He's pushing himself too hard.
- I know he's not a bad person. - Of course.
I hope he can control his excessive energy...
and spend some of it...
for his family, store, and himself.
Since I fractured my ribs,
I haven't drunk at all.
But I'd like to drink soju with him today.
Well... I'd love to do so.
All right.
Let's start with Ji Seon. Do you think it's a worry?
You should take it slow. To continue doing it for a long time,
you'll need a break too.
All I'm saying is he should take care of people around him...
who are suffering while helping other people.
I think it's a worry too.
Because you're not helping them in an appropriate way,
your good intentions might be depreciated.
I think it's a worry.
If you think it's a worry, please press the buzzer.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, - 5, 4, 3,
- 2, - 2,
- 1. - 1.
Time's up.
Why don't you say a word to Beom Seok...
and your children?
Since I realized what I lack,
I believe I can make the members of the community feel comfortable...
and become a better leader.
- Thank you. - Say something to your family too.
This year, I'll spend Christmas Eve with my family. I won't go.
And...
(Let's spend this Christmas together.)
(We hope he keeps his promise.)
I will order pork instead of beef...
to save money.
- To your children. - My son.
I love you, my son.
- Tell your daughter too. - My daughter.
I love you.
(I love you, my daughter.)
Let's see how many votes he got.
(Result)
- 1? - 1.
145 votes are currently the winner.
He wins if it's 151.
Right.
100... 161.
(161 votes)
Awesome.
- He won. - It's a problem.
For this week,
"Who Am I Living For?" wins.
The winner will receive prize money. Congratulations.
Until the day we are all worry-free.
Hello will continue to counsel you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
