(National Competition on Worries, New Year's Special)
(Nice to see you.)
Let me introduce you to our today's guests.
She's a former national tennis player.
Now, she's a mother of three children.
Jeon Mi Ra is here!
(Tennis Commentator Jeon Mi Ra)
She's the female version of me. Ahn Young Mi is here!
(Comedienne Ahn Young Mi)
- Happy New Year, everyone. - The female Shin Dong Yeob.
Happy New Year.
(Is she covering her cleavage out of manner?)
(Laughing)
Why did you do that?
- To keep manners. - I thought it was a low-cut top.
Magician Choi Hyun Woo is here!
(Magician Choi Hyun Woo)
- Hello. - Goodness.
Minhyuk and Jooheon of MONSTA X are here.
(Minhyuk and Jooheon of MONSTA X)
(They're handsome.)
The Lunar New Year holiday has started.
Before we begin the show, let's wish a happy new year.
Everyone,
- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.
(Happy New Year.)
By the way,
- it's so hard to invite Mi Ra. - Not at all.
Are you busy with work or are you busy raising your kids?
- Since I have three kids and work, - That's right.
I'm busy every day.
You didn't know you'd have so many children, did you?
We actually planned to have many kids.
- You planned to have three kids? - Yes.
- I'm sure they did. - I love kids,
- She has many kids. - and he wanted many as well.
Then is it over now?
Yes, I ended it.
You talk as if she had opened up a shop.
How many kids do you have?
- I have 3 kids. - She has 3 kids.
Can we see? My, they are beautiful.
They're really cute.
- They take after both of them. - You're right.
They look equally similar to them.
- They're so pretty. - I know.
Hyun Woo looks so young for his age.
- You're right. - He's well over 40. Right?
- You disclosed his age. - It's true.
Doesn't he look so young?
It's magic.
"It's magic."
It really is.
Will the Korean Harry Potter show us some magic?
Sure, I will.
(He will perform a magic trick.)
- I'm so excited. - Me too.
I've prepared a gift for our audience...
and our viewers at home.
A gift? Oh, it's a box.
We'll also give Yeong Ja a gift.
Congratulations.
He doesn't want her.
He's so flustered. His face is red.
He needs to be rewarded.
I'll put this gift down here...
so that we can open it at the very end.
Now, I will start.
(He begins his magic show.)
First off, please think...
of a four-digit number in your head.
- Four-digit number? - Correct.
Those who are watching this on TV may also do the same.
We can all participate.
Now, Tae Gyun,
please randomly pick someone from the audience.
Let's see. I've chosen one already.
I have my eyes on this big head.
(It's you.)
(He picked someone similar to him.)
- Please come with me. - That's great.
Have you met me before, or have we planned something?
- No, we haven't. - Right?
Please tell me the four-digit number...
- that you came up with. - 2468.
- 24... - 68.
- 2468. - 68.
All right, then.
(The next audience member to pick)
Yeong Ja, please pick someone.
(She will pick someone next.)
She looks like me.
Yes, you.
0925.
You can't disclose the password to your bank account.
- You were born in September, I see. - Goodness.
I pick the lady in the front.
1006.
1006. She was born on October 6th.
That's my birthdate as well.
- Really? - Yes.
(He picked the right candidate for him.)
- She picked 1006. - All right.
1111.
Got it.
Please do not forget that these 16 digits...
were spontaneously picked from the audience.
And for this box, I have locked it well...
by using a padlock.
I will show everyone.
For this special moment, I have prepared...
a time capsule in this box.
Oh, my. It can't be.
- No way. - There's no way.
- Goodness. - Was it written somewhere?
Yeong Ja, please open this.
Slowly take out the envelope, please.
She will now open it.
Please come over here.
Slowly open the envelope, please.
That box was already here before the audience picked the numbers.
It can't be.
Good.
There's a card.
It's a credit card.
- What? - Should I show everyone?
Are we talking about the digits on the card?
- No way. - It's my own credit card.
- Come on. - No way.
- No way. - Now,
I will show you that there is nothing inside.
Now, he will reveal the digits...
on the credit card from the start.
- Starting from here. - Please show them the digits.
Please show it to the camera.
It's 2468!
- 2468. - Hold on.
What are the next four digits?
- 0925. - 0925.
September 25. Next?
- It's in the exact order. - No way.
(She randomly said the numbers.)
- Next? - It's in the exact order.
What's next? 1006.
(Everyone is shocked.)
- What are the last four digits? - What are the last digits?
- It can't be! - Please reveal them.
- Hold on. - No way.
- Please reveal them. - Hold on.
- No way. - Goodness.
- It starts with one. - Next.
- One. - No way.
- 1! - 1!
(Nervous)
- What's the last number? - What is it?
(What is the last number on this credit card?)
- No way. - Here are the 16 digits.
(All the numbers are identical.)
- They're all the same! - My goodness.
This is unbelievable.
(Flabbergasted)
- I'm shocked. - How could this be?
(He has goosebumps.)
- I can't believe this. - Thank you.
I feel bewitched.
Does this make sense?
Calm down, everyone. Here's an interesting fact.
When Koreans are fascinated, they aren't surprised...
but rather discuss it with their friends.
- You're right. - "How did he do that?"
- "What happened?" - You're right.
He's a swindler.
- There must be a solution. - He's not a swindler.
When people are playing yut during the holidays...
and he wants to join,
- I think they'll forbid him to. - Right.
- They probably won't let him play. - They never allow me.
Young Mi, don't you also experience something similar?
- Any occupational hazards? - Yes.
Sometimes, an atmosphere could be quiet...
- or serene. - And calm.
I know that can happen,
- but I can't take that. - I see.
I think I suffer from...
habitual wrist-to-chest syndrome.
Wrist-to-chest?
Recently, I attended Hur Anna's wedding.
- Right, she got married. - I went there.
There, Anna asked me...
to sing "The Scarlet Letter". I was singing,
(She was doing her best.)
but everyone was quiet.
(Shocking)
At a wedding?
Yes, in front of their parents.
(She can't subdue the urge to make them laugh.)
I did that out of love.
For this week, we are celebrating...
Lunar New Year with our audience.
MONSTA X, is there something...
you guys don't want to hear about during the holiday?
It's not necessarily that,
but we do receive many difficult questions.
They ask if such dating rumors...
are true.
- Right. - Dating rumors of celebrities?
But even I don't know.
Right, even the celebrities don't know most of the time.
For me, it's when people ask me to speak to someone on the phone.
- With whom? - I know what he means.
- They ask on behalf of someone. - Yes, they do.
But it turns out that I'm talking to a six-year-old.
(He talked to a kindergarten student.)
- Sometimes, they were even 5. - 5 and 6-year-olds.
That happened quite often.
I see. We have prepared three worries for today as well.
Show us the keywords, please.
- "For This Year of the Golden Pig". - "For This Year of the Golden Pig".
"Please Find My Husband". "Single Path in Life".
"For This Year of the Golden Pig".
Hello, I've been married for three years.
My family is full of love every day...
because my husband loves our daughter very much.
"Princess, have you eaten?"
"Goodness, how are you so pretty?"
"Give Daddy a kiss."
Our daughter whom he loves so dearly...
is petite, big-eyed,
and 12 years old.
She is a Chihuahua.
It's a dog.
It's a Chihuahua.
(What a twist.)
"Honey, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
"Our daughter just barked."
"Is she having a nightmare? Is she sick?"
"How could you be asleep when our daughter is sick?"
"You're so harsh."
He dotes on her so much.
But here is the biggest problem.
"Honey, shouldn't we have a child of our own?"
"I'd love to have a child who looks like you."
"That's insane!"
"We already have one, so why do we need another one?
- Goodness, me. - "Bunhong is a dog."
"I want our own kid."
"Forget it! She is all I need!"
"I will never have another kid."
I'm afraid I'll never have a kid of my own...
because of our dog.
I'm already 36 years old, so I don't have much time.
Please convince my husband.
The husband doesn't want to have any kids.
I can understand why she feels upset.
Most definitely. She is not that young anymore.
I can totally relate to her.
To be honest, I've been asking my boyfriend...
why he hasn't proposed to me yet...
because I want to have a kid.
- We can't always get pregnant. - Correct.
I have a dog named Choco,
and he had to go under the knife.
I called out to him, and he recognized my voice.
(Howling)
Oh, my.
- My heart was torn. - I bet he could recognize you.
I felt like nothing could replace him in my heart.
Seriously. I asked, "Does it hurt?"
(Mimicking)
- He understood you. - "Does it hurt a lot?"
- Goodness. - He must've been in a lot of pain.
It even sounded like he was begging the doctor.
- Oh, come on. - That's unbelievable.
You've over exaggerated.
- No, really. - You know I've been hosting...
- an animal show for a long time. - Right, you have.
We receive countless reports, and some say...
- that their dogs can talk. - They can.
- Choco can. - Really.
They were serious, so I asked what their dogs said.
And apparently, their dogs said, "Mommy".
(Mom!)
No way!
When our staff went there, it made no sense.
- No, they can talk. - But they begged to disagree.
- They swore their dogs could talk. - Sometimes, someone calls you...
while you're walking, and it turns out to be a dog.
(Hey, hey, hey!)
- "Hey, hey!" - I know.
Let's meet her in person and hear the details.
Please come out.
(Her husband doesn't want to have a kid because of their dog.)
(Jung Yoon Mi)
So your husband doesn't want a kid, right?
No. We've been married...
for about three years now.
He told me straightforwardly that he didn't want any kids.
- Really? - He has made up his mind.
Yes, pretty much.
Is the reason why he doesn't want a kid...
because of your dog?
Yes. He considers her as his daughter.
- Right. - He actually does.
Her name is Bunhong.
When he comes home, he looks for the dog first.
He'd go like, "I'm home, my dear."
"Did you have a good day?"
He helps her burp after she finishes her meal.
He treats her like a human baby.
He helps her burp after she finishes her meal.
(He goes that far?)
- He helps her burp? - How does he do that?
- Show us. - That's what they do for babies.
- That's what we do for babies. - We can pat their backs...
- when we help them burp. - Right, right.
How do you do that on a dog?
- I think it's similar. - He does exactly the same.
- He holds her and pats her back? - Yes.
Then does she burp?
That might break her back.
As our dog is old,
she has bad teeth.
Other parts are fine.
- You mean her teeth? - Yes.
My husband even blends all her dog food.
When we go out to eat,
he always packs fried chicken or chicken breasts for Bunhong.
- He washes them and feeds her. - My gosh.
- He's really sincere. - He's sincere.
So she's the dog that your husband has been raising before marriage?
She was my dog.
- What? - What?
(What a twist.)
I raised the dog...
for 12 years before I got married.
My husband gave her so much love even before we got married.
(Her husband loved the dog even before they got married.)
Actually, if I think back,
I think my husband fell for my dog.
That might be why he asked me to marry him.
- No way. That's nonsense. - No way.
That can't happen.
I can relate to her story a little.
I once looked after...
the dog that my ex-girlfriend raised...
because she had to go somewhere.
We broke up because of some reason.
- After we broke up, - What happened?
I missed the dog more than my ex-girlfriend.
- Oh, no. - Why didn't you go...
near her house and yell out the dog's name?
The dog would've answered you.
(Laughing)
Have you tried to talk seriously with him...
to persuade him or have you worked hard...
to make him be interested in having kids?
Have you made such efforts?
He hates it when I talk about it.
And he also gets very cold.
When we watch shows like...
- "The Return of Superman"... - "The Return of Superman"?
He hates it when I try to watch the show with him.
When he sees kids on the street,
he's never said things like, "How cute."
Seeing that makes me think he's always hated kids.
But what makes me most upset...
is that we put our dog between us whenever we go to sleep.
(A bolt from the blue)
That's total nonsense.
- But... - I mean it.
That's total nonsense.
My husband never puts down his guard.
Really?
He hates it even when my foot touches his.
He always says that we can't be romantic as we're family.
(This is really shocking.)
I've always said this before.
Smart dogs...
walk away like this...
- when the mood changes. - That's right.
(Trudging)
- Smart dogs leave the room. - That's right.
And after some time passes,
the dog comes back in after checking the room first.
Bunhong always wants to be in between us.
Even when I try to pillow my head on his arm,
she scratches us because she doesn't like it.
(I'm the only one who's upset.)
What's important is her husband's stance.
- Let's meet him. - Let's hear his side of story.
- Hello. - Hello.
(He doesn't want to have kids because he loves her dog so much.)
Do you really not want to have kids because you love the dog so much?
It is true that I don't want to have kids.
The most important reason is the financial issue.
- The financial issue? - We don't even have our own house.
If we have kids, we'll never be out of debt.
I don't want to waste our lives by paying back our debts.
Have you discussed it with your wife before you got married?
We didn't formally discuss it,
but if we did, this wouldn't have been a concern for her.
I told her...
that we should live happily just the two of us.
You said that you wanted to live happily just the two of you.
Then why do you avoid sleeping with her?
- I know. - I'll take this.
Why on earth do you avoid sleeping with her?
Her face has turned red.
You said you wanted to live happily.
What's with your hand gesture?
Right. In that aspect, I feel really sorry.
But I'm really firm about not having kids.
It's not been agreed.
I decided to not sleep with her because I've made up my mind firmly.
(That's harsh.)
(Why can't he see that I'm lonely?)
It's largely because of Bunhong.
Whenever I try to get intimate with my wife,
Bunhong always gets in the way.
She even stares at us intently.
If we kick her out, she keeps scratching the door.
It's really hard to focus when that happens.
That's why...
Your mentality is weak.
- That can happen. - Right. I'm conscious of her.
I get embarrassed as if I'm being watched by a kid.
She thinks you got married because of the dog.
Is that part of a reason?
I've always liked pets...
like cats or dogs.
But I couldn't raise one myself.
When I first visited my wife's place before marriage,
a small dog came to greet me.
She welcomed me. Seeing that...
made me fall in love with her.
It's like killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
I can get married and have a dog.
Let me ask you this.
Do you think Bunhong can be like your kid?
(Does he think Bunhong can be like his kid?)
I don't think she can be a replacement for a kid.
- Of course. - Of course.
Whenever I see kids,
I don't consider them cute.
But I've once thought of...
having a daughter who takes after my wife.
But like I said,
the reality is harsh.
I'm going to convince my wife no matter what.
You'll make her give up?
- Yes. - Okay.
- That's possible. - He's quite firm.
(I'm really desperate.)
It's not like others have kids...
because they have a lot of money.
It's not like we have debts.
I think it won't be a burden to have kids.
Is your husband the only one working?
No, I work as well.
- Really? - You two work?
We're saving a lot while working hard.
But we don't have our own house yet.
That must be my husband's concern.
My acquaintances...
use around 2,000 to 3,000 dollars...
per month even before the birth until the kid grows up a little.
- Per one child? - That's too much.
(It's not possible.)
- That's too much. - She has experience.
- We all have experience. - I have three kids.
- It doesn't take 2,000 to 3,000. - It never does.
That's a big misunderstanding.
Then how would anyone have a child...
if it costs 2,000 to 3,000 dollars per month?
I think parents' principle is more important these days.
- That's right. - You need to have a principle.
Even strollers are available in infinite variety.
It can cost just a few dollars, or tens of thousand dollars.
- Same goes for baby formula. - One of my junior comedians...
has been feeding only organic food and banned junk food...
because his family is well-off.
But everything's of no use.
As soon as the kid was in middle school, he started smoking.
(He started smoking as soon as he was in middle school.)
(That's the reality of child rearing.)
- I'm serious. - It's of no use.
(Kids grow well even if you don't spend that much on them.)
Like you said, it might not cost around 2,000 to 3,000 dollars.
But I think it'll be a problem when kids grow up.
We have to be responsible for them the whole time.
Poor parents make their children poor.
Kids from poor background can no longer become successful.
I'll be sorry for not giving more to my kids if I have one.
From what he said, I think...
he'll be a good dad once he has a kid.
I think he's also a little scared.
When I was young,
my family struggled financially.
That's why my parents had to work all their lives.
They went through so much.
That's why I don't want...
my wife to go through the same ordeal as well.
I really want to live happily just the two of us.
I know it costs money to raise kids,
but they also bring happiness
That gives you the strength to continue living.
For most parents,
they say things like, "I'm really tired, but I live because of them."
They say such things.
I don't like it when they say,
"I live because of my kids."
I might sound selfish,
but when you see kids grow up, you might be happy.
But I'm not sure...
if I can endure the whole process.
(How can I change my husband's thoughts?)
- He has so many worries. - he does.
He's already been to the future that doesn't even exist.
Maybe his future kid gave him a hard time.
Probably.
(He doesn't intend on changing his thoughts.)
It's not about what's right or wrong.
- It's about one's will. - You're right.
It's somewhat understandable.
There are many people...
who think like he does.
Is there anyone who doesn't want to have a child...
when you get married?
Raise your hand if you agree with the husband.
It's not something to be criticized about. It's just your opinion.
- Of course. - Of course.
- Right. - Please raise your hands freely.
- Many people think like him. - If you don't want to have kids...
- There are a few. - Even some men think like that.
Are you two a couple?
I think her boyfriend is surprised.
(I think her boyfriend is surprised.)
It costs a lot to raise a kid.
I rather spend that money on us...
by going on a trip or something.
You think it's better to enjoy your life with just the two of you?
Did you know your girlfriend's...
thought on kids?
I prefer spending money on us by traveling as well.
Then the two of you... Excuse me, but how old are you?
We're 22.
(I see.)
I was like that at your age.
At your age, I thought I should meet all men in the world before I die.
(Enjoy your youth and love each other passionately.)
It's okay to think that way since they're 22.
Let's talk to the man over there.
- The one wearing a vest. - From now on,
tell us how old you are before you speak.
- I'm 27. - It could be a concern for you.
How long have you two been seeing each other?
It's been nine years.
- That's nice. - But you're 27.
Nine years?
Do you think you can be happy without kids?
Since I don't have a house and I'm still struggling,
I rather enjoy my life with her only...
- because of financial issues. - You rather live by yourselves?
I think like that.
But it's not like I don't want to have a kid.
I do want to have a kid.
So what she was thinking was, "Let's get married first and see."
"Okay, okay. Let's get married first."
- "Okay, okay." - "Let's get married first."
(I hope you discuss it before getting married.)
Those two couples seem to put their own happiness first.
Are you two happy right now?
Our dog always comes between us.
When my husband drives, Bunhong sits in my lap.
When the car suddenly stops, all he worries about is the dog.
Instead of you,
he is worried about the dog?
When I wake up, both my husband and dog are gone.
Where do they go?
When I call him, he says they're riding the electric scooter...
and talking a walk.
Electric scooter.
They don't come home until late.
They're one.
- Right. - The dog is adorable.
She's so cute.
(His wife is waiting at home.)
(Isn't our dog adorable?)
When we have a fight,
my husband leaves home with the dog.
(He leaves home with the dog.)
- With the dog? - With the dog?
He doesn't want to scare the dog.
Do you ever go somewhere without the dog?
Without the dog, we've never stayed out...
except for our honeymoon.
(Are they really happy?)
Even then, he wanted to see pictures of the dog every day.
- Oh, my. - My goodness.
- Even on your honeymoon? - Yes.
It makes me wonder if I mean less than a dog...
to him.
Our dog does not have much time left.
I want my wife to understand me a little,
to be honest. But I do feel bad.
Do you know what we first thought after seeing the pictures?
Your life seems complete even without your wife.
You're probably okay without her.
It'd hurt her a lot.
- Right. - There is no place for her.
He is happy even without you.
He looks happy.
We'd love to meet Bunhong.
- Is she here? - Yes.
Bunhong, please come out.
She is wearing a skirt.
- A Korean traditional skirt. - She is adorable.
- How cute. - Look at those nails.
- Oh, my. She's so pretty. - Bunhong.
- Go to your mom. - Go to your mom.
- My goodness. - Go to your mom.
- How adorable. - You're so cute.
- My goodness. Even her nails... - Bunhong.
- are painted pink. - They're painted.
I've never seen it before.
- Because her name means "pink". - It's so cute.
Bunhong.
- Does she go to a nail salon? - Oh, my.
- Oh, my. - Try calling her name.
Bunhong.
- Bunhong, look at me. - Bunhong.
- Bunhong. - Go to your dad.
- Bunhong. - Where is your dad?
She is looking for her dad.
(I found my dad!)
- Bunhong. - Where is your dad?
(That's my girl.)
- She's looking for him. - Did she find him?
- The husband... - Let her hear your voice.
He is smiling big for the first time.
(Realistic, no kids, depressed)
(Bunhong makes him smile.)
Did she find him?
(This is why I feel hurt.)
Hold on. Sit next to your wife.
You said Bunhong stares at you when you try to touch each other.
- Let's see it. - Let's see it.
- Try to touch each other. - Let's see it.
Try to touch each other.
- Try to touch your wife. - Kiss her.
Bunhong is staring.
(What are you doing?)
We asked you to pretend.
Why did you kiss her for real?
I was pretending.
(I want you to touch only me.)
Her mother is here too.
Hello.
- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.
Welcome.
Did you know your daughter was so worried?
When I asked her why she wasn't having a baby,
she said, "I want to, but..."
She didn't tell me the whole story.
(My daughter has been so concerned.)
How do you feel after listening to them today?
Times have changed,
and I know things are tough these days.
I understand that part.
But you still want grandchildren, don't you?
A lot.
Of course. Grandchildren...
- give you so much happiness. - Of course.
If they're not going to have kids,
I want my son to get married...
and have children.
- Why do you suddenly... - Is that your son?
(She takes it out on her son.)
But he is not interested in getting married at all.
He doesn't even have a girlfriend.
Her brother...
Your son...
You must feel...
sorry for your sister.
I do feel sorry,
but in my opinion,
she is not ready to get married.
- To get married? - To get married?
She is already married.
(What are you talking about?)
- I mean, to have children. - She's already married.
I was so surprised.
You surprised me.
I thought he hasn't seen her in a long time.
(Typical siblings)
She doesn't stay at one workplace for long.
Her husband is very nice to her.
He is.
Even though he finishes work very late,
he tells my sister, "You don't have to cook. I will."
He cooks for her often.
Because of that,
she is not very good at cooking.
In my opinion...
Regardless of that,
you seem to have many complaints about your sister.
It must have started when you were little.
In any case,
my sister is a nice person.
My goodness.
- So that's why... - How many years are you two apart?
- 2 years. - 2 years? Did you fight a lot?
We're not on good terms even these days.
I can see that.
I told him not to come today, but he insisted.
She told him not to come.
He insisted on coming, and now he is criticizing her.
Your brother thinks...
your husband will do most of the work if a child is born.
What do you think about that?
Apart from the children thing, my husband is perfect.
Let me ask the husband.
Are you afraid you'll have to do all the work...
if a child is born?
- That was it? - That was it, right?
No. That's no problem.
Things like cooking...
and doing the laundry are no problem for me.
- He is nice. - He is very helpful.
The reason why my wife has been changing jobs is...
because I told her...
she should find an easy job.
- A flexible job. - He is so loving.
(He is such a loving husband.)
- What's going on? - Although I don't earn much,
I wanted her to have it easy.
- He is suddenly gaining support. - The husband...
The women in the audience hated him at first.
- At first, they were mad. - Now they're different.
(He is a nice husband.)
I want to be able to have some beer...
and talk about things with my husband at home.
But he often watches dog videos...
and cries his eyes out .
He watches videos of old dogs...
or sick dogs.
Videos of their last moments.
Why would he watch them?
He says, when Bunhong dies,
he'll keep her ashes for the rest of his life.
He even asked me, if he dies before me,
to blend his ashes with hers.
With Bunhong's?
- Is that true? - He wants to be buried with her?
- I asked her to do that... - He loves her for real.
if I die before her.
(What should they do?)
At first, my wife and I...
had some beer, watched movies, and talked for a couple of hours.
But then she would always ask me, "Can't we have a baby?"
When she asked me that,
I sobered up immediately like people in commercials.
I came back to reality, and the drink suddenly tasted bitter.
And I tried to change the subject.
(He keeps running away.)
Your wife must have come here...
because she can't give up on having children.
Likewise, are you sure about...
- not having children? - Yes.
(Determined)
That's why I came here.
(You only care about what you want.)
(Upset)
It might be my worry after all.
You're right.
I never planned on getting married,
but I just happened to.
(If you say so.)
Before, I only cared about myself. After I got married,
I had to make sacrifices for my spouse.
- But it comes with joy. - That's right.
When you have children,
you have to make unconditional sacrifices.
But the joy that comes with it...
is beyond words.
If it was all painful,
- mankind wouldn't have survived. - That's right.
It brings tremendous joy.
As someone who has experienced it, I feel a bit sorry.
- I feel sorry. - It's incredible.
(You don't understand until you experience it.)
We'll give you some time.
Speak to your husband from your heart.
I understand what you're worried about.
And I'm glad you love our dog so much.
But before it's too late and before we regret it,
I want us...
to have children and become happier as soon as possible.
That's all I want.
(Can't you make my wish come true?)
(Was she able to move his heart?)
Even if we don't have children,
there is nothing wrong about it. It's not your fault.
Am I right? I want you to have a comfortable,
happy life.
After taking care of children for decades,
when we look back, we might not remember anything.
I don't want to make those sacrifices.
I want us to do more things together...
and fill our lives with happy memories.
I'll try harder from now on.
I love you so much.
(He loves her very much.)
(In the end, nothing changed.)
(He's very stubborn.)
(It's very difficult.)
Wait a minute.
It seems like you are giving people the wrong idea.
Are you guilty about not having a baby?
- No. She wants a baby. - No, right?
But that's what he's implying.
Child is part of your dream, right?
What will you do about her dream?
I don't want any big burdens.
I want us to be happy, and I want myself to be happy.
Then this is what you should've said.
"I don't want to have a child for my own happiness."
You have to be honest.
You make all the decisions while pretending to...
You can't do that.
care about your wife.
You say you want your wife to be happy.
But your wife wants a child...
and to have a natural relationship of a married couple.
(How can they narrow down the gap between them?)
By the way, have you ever had this conversation with your mom?
Have you asked her about when she was so happy while raising you?
Do you know how happy your mom has been because of you?
Yes, I know.
When I told her I don't want to have a child,
she didn't get upset about it or ask me the reason for it.
I could read from her face.
She was wondering if I thought this way...
(She blamed herself.)
because she wasn't good enough to me.
(The love for his parents and the feeling of guilt...)
(made him become more realistic about having a child.)
You should've discussed it before you got married.
- Right. - Right.
You keep insisting what you want.
- "Don't come near me." - You don't have to have a child.
What upsets us is...
that you're not open at all. It's not about the child anymore.
You have to be open to your wife's opinion.
You have to be open and think about...
why your wife wants a child. You are not willing to listen.
(Have you tried to understand...)
(why your wife wants a child?)
I have too many worries...
- as I live life. - Right.
That's why I think I've been making your life miserable.
About the child,
I will listen to what you have to say...
and be more open about it.
(Really?)
(I'm glad to hear that.)
I will try to become more positive.
(I will try.)
(We see hope.)
All right.
- Yes. - Yes.
I'm glad.
I was worried that he would say, "I'll try..."
- "to be more positive, but..." - That's good enough.
Well done stopping him.
- You can't do that. - He's great.
- He's great. - Yes.
Is it a worry or not?
If I were his wife, I would be extremely worried.
Things might not even turn out the way you want.
So I wish you will be more open about it.
I think it's a worry.
(Hyun Woo thinks it's a worry.)
- Jooheon. - I also think it's a worry.
- I think it's a worry for both. - Yes.
If you sympathize with the wife,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up.
Please reveal the result.
(The result)
"For This Year of the Golden Pig".
(The last digit is 4.)
Is it over 100?
(Is it over 100?)
Out of 200, how many votes did she get?
154 votes.
(She earned 154 votes.)
"Please Find My Husband".
Hello.
I'm a woman in her 30s who is raising 6-year-old...
triplets.
My goodness. Triplets?
Triplets.
I already feel frustrated.
He suddenly...
- Think about six-year-olds. - I know.
"Hoon, let's get dressed."
"Okay, Mom."
"Joon, come here."
"No. No."
"Yoon, you should finish your food."
"I don't want to eat it."
It's like a war every day.
But they are not the biggest problem.
"Honey, please stop sleeping."
"Can't you help me?"
(Yawning)
"I didn't get to sleep because I stayed up all night..."
"watching movies."
"I want to sleep more. I don't care."
My husband is more immature than my triplets.
She's got four sons.
As if not helping with rearing the triplets is not enough...
"Honey,"
"can't you look after the triplets while I cook?"
"Gosh, all right."
But in less than five minutes...
"Darn it, boy!"
"You idiot!"
[VIU Ver] E399 Hello Counselor "What Kids Mean to Us" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
"This is upsetting."
"You naughty kids! Won't you listen to your dad?"
(The children end up crying.)
He makes the kids cry.
He even curses...
to the six-year-old kids without feeling guilty at all.
But that's not the only problem.
That's only the beginning of the problem.
I will tell you the more serious problem...
when I am in the studio.
I can't put it into writing.
I will tell you when I meet you.
That's what she sent us.
(She must have a lot to say.)
What did you think when you heard this story?
I think it must be really tough.
Because I have 3 children, I have to feed 9 times.
Perhaps her kids eat by themselves now.
I have to brush their teeth nine times.
I have to do everything for them.
While doing all those, I don't even have time to sit down.
But let's not be so extreme for the first husband.
Taking care of 3 children is hard, but 1 is fine, right?
- One is fine. - Right. Right.
- It's nothing, right? - Right.
One is fine.
- It's not that tough. - Sir.
I have a show every weekend.
- And a lot of families come. - A lot of children watch your show.
A lot of children come and watch.
And girls react differently from the boys.
When I do magic, boys do this.
(They are very suspicious.)
- They are very suspicious. - They are suspicious.
"You hid it in the back."
But girls are like this.
(The girls get amused.)
- They are so lovely. - Right.
- It's fun to do magic. - Right.
That made me want to...
have a daughter when I get married. She'd be so adorable.
- I know. - Right.
- I think that a lot. - MONSTA X, you're young,
so marriage is not yet your concern.
Actually, I want to have a lot of children.
But after everything I've heard, I want to reconsider it.
(He's going to reconsider having a lot of children.)
Let's bring her in.
Please come on out, mother of triplets.
(She's worried about her husband cursing at the 6-year-olds.)
(Yoo Hye Young)
(Welcome.)
You had...
a triplet in one day.
Giving birth to them must've been really hard.
After four years of marriage, we weren't getting pregnant.
So we tried having a test-tube baby, and we got fortunate.
At first, I was told that they were twins.
I thought they were twins.
I had an ultrasound one day, and there was a dot. My husband...
asked the doctor what that dot was.
And the doctor said it must be an air bubble.
To be sure, I got another ultrasound.
- And there was a heartbeat. - My gosh.
The doctor said it was dangerous for both...
me and the babies and recommended miscarriage.
But I had already heard their heartbeats.
So as a mother, it would be...
- a sin to miscarry them. - They are your babies.
So I went straight to a university hospital...
got a surgery to prevent the babies...
from slipping out.
- In the middle? - Yes. I got hospitalized...
and got the surgery. I suffered from gestational diabetes too.
- You went through a lot. - Yes.
It was very tough for you to have the triplets.
Does your husband not help you at all with the triplets?
He doesn't take care of any of them?
I'm sure he takes care of at least one.
When they were newborns, they constantly cried.
I had to feed them every two hours.
My husband went to his room and just slept.
(He didn't care.)
- I want him to look after them... - Right. You wrote it here.
while I fix a meal for them.
But he goes outside and smokes.
- He smokes also? - Yes.
I'm sure your husband...
- doesn't work on weekends. - He must rest.
On weekends, because they are his days off,
he watches all the movies he missed.
He watches movies until 4 to 5am.
He watches them alone either in the living room or in his room.
He's like a single man.
He's like a man living alone.
It's like she's living with an unmarried man.
I was really surprised...
while listening to your story.
You said your husband...
curses at the children while looking after them.
He often uses...
these curse words.
When he calls them "the sons of a jerk", it means he's a jerk.
(She's right.)
Right.
You are right.
- That felt good. - My gosh.
What do the children think about their father?
Kids always say they hate their dad and that their dad is bad.
The eldest is always daunted and is conscious of his dad.
- I'm sure. - That's the worst.
The second one always gives his dad a look.
He does?
- How about the youngest? - The youngest...
only looks for me.
- He only looks for you. - He only relies on you.
- They are all different. - He doesn't look for his dad.
Let's meet her husband.
Where are you, the father of triplets?
Hello.
Can you sympathize with your wife?
I do, but I think there's nothing I can do about it.
- What do you mean? - What do you mean?
(Scratching)
He's thinking about an excuse.
I want to help her,
but she's such a neat person...
that even if I do things,
she does it all over again.
When I ask him to fold the boys' clothes,
he folds them very clumsily.
- They have to be organized, but... - Like this. "There you go."
He just does it clumsily.
Do you really just watch...
movies on weekends?
I really like movies.
I like Marvel movies like "Iron Man".
- Hero movies. - I like them.
So I love binge-watching them.
Your wife must've loved it too.
- You should watch them with her. - Right.
- How about her? - She doesn't like movies.
I think she watched it only because I watched it.
Then do you know what her hobby is?
Her hobby? She is...
very good at housekeeping.
(He says it very confidently.)
No way.
You should think before you speak.
(That's labor, not hobby.)
- It's... - Her hobby is housekeeping?
She loves organizing things.
- She loves organizing things. - Yes.
There's not even a strand of hair at home.
I want to get dressed up and go out with my friends.
- I want to have good food. - You want to chat.
Watching Marvel movies is good.
But you still have to play with the children.
I tried many times to play with them.
I held one boy up and put him on my back.
When I play with one,
two other boys are waiting for their turn.
- Of course. - They want to play too.
I did, and it just went on from morning to night.
- They keep lining up? - Yes.
I couldn't keep up with them.
So after that time, I am...
refraining from playing with the boys.
So you closed your business.
(Daddy Park is closed.)
Playing with children is...
- They have so much energy, - It's not easy.
- so it's really tough, isn't it? - It is.
So your wife is taking care of all three of them now.
Right. But she's not always playing with them.
A lot of times, the boys...
play by themselves.
Even so,
they can't play by themselves all the time.
When they are in the later years of elementary school,
- They will play by themselves. - they will play by themselves.
That's the only time...
- you can build your relationship. - Yes.
- They will look for friends later. - I'm going to play with them..
when they become sixth graders.
- They won't play with you. - They won't play with you then.
They won't play with you.
- That's my son's age. - They will like their friends more.
(You are indifferent to them now. Will they welcome you then?)
By the way, I can't understand...
why you curse at the children.
I don't want to curse at them either.
When I scold them, they don't listen to me.
They play by themselves and ignore me.
So I end up shouting...
and cursing at them.
Is your husband always very hot-tempered?
Yes. When I ask him to bathe the children,
he yells at them and tells them to finish bathing in five minutes.
He doesn't bathe them?
- He doesn't. - It's like the army.
- Yes. - It really is.
When they were five, he did something to discipline them.
Someone said on TV to hold the child tightly...
if he doesn't listen to you.
He took the boys to a dark room...
and held them for 20 to 30 minutes.
- The boys were terrified. - Of course.
- And... - Does he not hit them?
He hits them. Since they were three...
- Since they were three? - He's been hitting them since then.
- I'm sure it was just a light tap. - Where does he hit them?
- Their soles. - They are too naughty.
I said this to the boys.
I told them I'd hit them once if they cause trouble.
I told them I'd hit them twice if they cause another trouble.
- When they were three years old? - Yes.
You've been hitting them since they were three?
- They are not adults. - So...
when I go to them with a stick,
they stop being naughty.
- He doesn't talk to them. - He doesn't teach them.
He hits them instead of teaching them. It's the easiest way.
- That's convenient for him. - It's convenient for him.
Right.
Daddy!
(We hear something from afar.)
Daddy!
- I think the children are here. - Oh, dear.
"Daddy!"
- They are so cute. - They are so lovely.
How cute!
- They are so cute. - Yoon, Joon, Hoon.
They are so cute.
- Yoon, Joon, Hoon. You're so cute. - Where are you guys going?
(Where are they going?)
- Mom. - They are so cute.
Mommy.
They are going to their mommy.
(All three boys...)
(go to their mommy.)
They are so adorable.
(I missed you.)
They are so adorable.
- They are so adorable. - They are cute.
- Hello. - Where's Daddy? Look for him.
- Daddy is there. - Daddy!
Daddy.
Raise your hand if you want to go to Daddy.
(Raise your hand if you want to go to Daddy.)
I don't want to go to him.
They don't want to go to their daddy.
(He feels betrayed.)
You don't want to go to your daddy.
Who's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd?
- Tell us. I see. - 1, 2, 3.
- He's the first. - They are all handsome.
- Come here. - It's dangerous.
- Sit here. - Come here.
It's chaotic.
Go forward. Go forward.
Come here.
- Move back. - Move back.
How old are you?
- 30. - You're 30?
- You're 30. - I can't believe it.
"I'm 30."
- What's your name? - I'm five.
- You're five. - How old are you?
(Yeong Ja asks how old he is.)
How old are you?
(Screaming)
The mic. Right.
It's already very chaotic.
Come on.
(In the end,)
(Yeong Ja loses her mind.)
Wait. They just came out,
- and it's chaotic already. - Right.
(I know how it feels.)
Do you like Daddy?
No.
Do you like Daddy?
(He says a shocking truth.)
What does Daddy say when he's upset?
"Be quiet."
"Be quiet!"
- "Be quiet!" - He tells you to be quiet.
"Be quiet!"
(He's flustered by their negative reactions.)
- Does he yell at you? - Yes.
- Does your dad... - It's squishy.
- It's squishy. - It's squishy.
Why are you touching my breasts?
(She gives up interviewing them.)
Oh, dear.
(They are unbelievable.)
It happens.
They are just pretending to be young.
It happens.
(They are cute.)
- It's chaotic, isn't it? - It's squishy.
Excuse me.
It's...
- Can you sympathize with me? - One child is fine.
(She's worried.)
- 1 is... - It's because there are 3.
1 is fine. It's because there are 3.
One child is fine.
How reassured would you be when they all grow up?
(We will cheer for you until they grow up.)
Does Daddy...
(He dismantled the mic.)
(Will they give up?)
Let's see who can run the fastest.
- Ready and go. - Go. Go.
- You're first. - Hurry, hurry.
- You're second. - Hurry, hurry.
Hurry, hurry.
You're third.
(The situation is over.)
I'm going to go to Mommy.
- It must be really tough. - I will see you later.
You have to put up with this every day?
Yes.
Look at them. Look.
The writer is...
struggling with two.
You do this every day?
- He doesn't want to go. - He doesn't want to go.
How smart is he? He's holding onto the set.
He's holding onto the set.
Look at his hand.
(I can't give up yet.)
(I can't leave like this.)
He can't go.
(However...)
(That was as great as...)
(the ending of "The Terminator".)
- Oh, dear. - He's gone.
With his tiny hand, he held onto the set.
(She's sad.)
(He's dazed.)
You didn't take care of the children. Why are you tired?
- What did you do to get that tired? - Look at him.
- It must be really tough for her. - It must be very tough.
My heart is pounding.
- There's something more, right? - My husband spends a lot of...
money on drones, RC cars, and toys.
And he plays with them alone.
He doesn't play with the kids.
I think every man...
has one hobby.
It's not like I play cell phone games.
I'm not interested in things like gambling.
Well done.
I thought it wasn't a bad thing to be doing.
(This is his drone set.)
How much is that? That looks quite expensive.
The drone set is about 1,200 dollars.
The goggle alone is 720 dollars.
(She's shocked by the price.)
Oh, dear.
- That's a big RC car. - Is that the RC car?
- It looks great. - That's about 1,200 dollars too.
(She's shocked again.)
Did you know the price of the drone?
I thought it was 150 dollars.
- 150 dollars? - How about the RC car?
- I thought it was 200 dollars. - 200 dollars.
- But it's actually 1,200 dollars. - I was wrong.
I think he took out 1,000 dollars from each price.
He doesn't have more hobbies, does he?
It's just that we are really shocked.
He's into...
3D printers right now.
(He's interested in 3D printers these days.)
- That's expensive. - He's been...
wanting it for years. Before his grandmother...
passed away, she left a gold necklace to him.
It was about 12 to 16g of pure gold.
- He sold it... - Did he sell it?
and said his grandmother gave it to him...
so that he could buy a 3D printer.
Your grandmother must be laughing in the afterlife.
He took the money and bought the printer.
I want to print some toys...
for the children.
No. It melts plastic and prints models.
- It's sharp and brittle. - That's right. It's sharp.
It's dangerous.
- Children can't play with it. - No.
He makes skull rings...
and skull heads.
- "Skull heads". - "Skull heads".
It's for him. It's not a toy for the kids at all.
It's just an excuse.
Is it related to your job?
No, it isn't.
However, I did use vacuum cleaner parts...
to devise a ventilator...
that gets smoke out of the house in my childhood.
You wanted to become an inventor?
I like things like that.
Recently,
I bought a cotton candy machine.
- What? - A cotton candy machine?
- Why? - I bought it for my children.
(His wife snorts.)
(The said items are brought into the studio.)
(3D toys)
(Cotton candy machine)
- You made them with the 3D printer? - Yes.
You have skills.
(It's a skull head.)
They are fascinating.
(They catch everyone's eyes.)
- This one moves. - It moves.
What is this?
(They look at other toys.)
It's a toy spider the children like.
(He smiles as he says those words.)
(Did you say that children like it?)
- Do children like this? - He always says that.
His children like everything.
These parts could prick or cut...
- the children's skin. - Here is the truth.
He used his children as an excuse,
but he is the one who likes these things.
- That's right. - That's right.
(He is the one who likes these things.)
Please make cotton candy.
It's red sugar.
Look at that.
You put two washbowls together...
(He put 2 washbowls together.)
to make this.
(He starts to make cotton candy.)
(They wait for his cotton candy with high expectations.)
(When will cotton candy be ready?)
There is nothing.
The machine needs to heat up.
There is nothing.
The machine needs to heat up.
You must have done this often for your children.
- When will it be ready? - It takes a while.
It takes a while for the machine to heat up.
(10 minutes pass.)
How long will it take?
It will take about 20 minutes.
- It takes that long to make one? - Yes.
Does it take 20 minutes to make 1 cotton candy?
(It's a shocking announcement.)
Does it take 20 minutes to make 1 cotton candy?
Does the triplet wait next to you during this process?
(It continues for a while.)
It came out. There is something.
It looks like a spider web.
(A spider web appears.)
How fascinating!
It must be fun to do this with your children.
However, the cotton candy floats everywhere in the house.
I haven't used it after the first time.
It's floating.
It's floating in the air.
It is floating.
It will make a mess in the house.
(Catching)
- It's a ruckus. - It's a ruckus.
It should be big by now.
You put in so much sugar.
- This is... - Put more sugar inside.
(It looks pathetic.)
- This is... - Put more sugar inside.
(Yeong Ja is disappointed.)
It won't satisfy anyone.
(She takes a bite.)
(When did I eat the cotton candy?)
- It's magic! - It's magic!
It's magic!
(Yeong Ja's cotton candy magic trick)
(Where did the cotton candy go?)
This is real.
This one is for children, albeit unusual.
However, he did it only once.
He made cotton candy for them only once.
(He spends time for his children only once.)
You know, the person who is next to Hye Young's husband...
has a somber look on her face.
My goodness.
How do you feel upon hearing their story?
My heart aches. My heart aches...
because my daughter was really pretty.
I cherished her as she grew up.
After she had triplets, her shoulders hunched over.
- Did it happen already? - Her shoulders hunched over.
Also, her voice wasn't like this.
She used to have a clear voice,
but it became thick.
- It must be hard to raise triplets. - Of course.
Did you know your son-in-law has so many hobbies?
Yes, I did.
The money comes from his mother.
- His mother. - It comes from his family.
She doesn't give him money so that he can spend it on himself.
The allowances are...
for raising the triplets.
Does your mother-in-law give him money...
for raising the triplets?
At first, she gave money directly to my husband.
But he kept it a secret from me and used it himself,
and he got caught.
- Now, Mother gives it to me. - She gives it to you directly?
(She gives it directly to her daughter-in-law.)
He got caught.
He uses the money on his hobbies,
not his children.
I know.
For a year and six months,
I looked after the triplets even when I was working.
They cry and wake up together.
They need to eat at the same time,
so it gets really busy for the mother.
- It's hard to raise triplets alone. - That's right.
For a while, I took the eldest one home...
and raised him myself.
The triplets brush off their dad's hands...
to run over and take their uncle's hands.
They call their uncle, "Dad".
He must play with them nicely.
He has a good reputation outside,
but he should take better care of his family.
I hope he would stop drinking and smoking.
It's excessive.
On weekdays, he drinks 1 or 2 bottles.
- Soju? - 1 or 2 bottles of soju?
- Every day? - Yes.
On weekends, since he doesn't work the next day,
he drinks 3 or 4 bottles.
- 3 or 4 bottles? - That's a lot.
How much does he smoke? Isn't it a bother to go outside?
He sometimes smokes at home.
I'm sure he doesn't do it anymore.
He smokes when the children are asleep.
- For goodness' sake. - He does so many wrong things.
I know.
(You are unbelievable.)
Let's try to be understanding of Hye Young's husband.
Is your work very hard?
As a team leader, I have a lot of work...
regarding management.
However, my wife became pregnant right after I got a promotion.
Every day, I went back and forth between hospital and home...
and called to miss work.
I became the first employee to take paternity leave for three months.
I looked after my wife very well for three months.
- Really? - I even made her meals.
- You did it for three months. - That was during pregnancy.
- During pregnancy? - The doctor told me...
I had to lie down at all times. I couldn't even go to the restroom.
In any case, your husband struggles...
to provide for the family.
Well, it's not like I'm idle.
- What? - I'm not a housewife.
After I send the triplets to the kindergarten during the day,
I work for a few hours.
- What do you do? - Do you work as well?
- Yes. - What do you do?
I work at a hair salon.
- You stand all day. - Yes.
(We're getting angry.)
- It's a total mess. - Right.
What do you want to do...
if you get some time thanks to your husband's help?
Even if I get 3 to 4 hours,
I wouldn't want to do anything.
Do you want to get some sleep?
I gave up on sleep...
the moment I had children.
How many hours of sleep did you get last night?
I got 3 or 4 hours of sleep, I think.
Since my children and I sleep in the same room,
they cling onto me even during their sleep.
I used to sleep width-wise on the bed.
- I can't sleep. - My three children wanted...
to sleep next to me.
I slept width-wise on the bed...
to satisfy them.
(They lied width-wise on the bed and shared warmth.)
Don't you think you need to change?
I don't think I can change in the current situation.
The children would need to grow up more.
- Why? - They need to be old enough...
to understand my words.
Are you saying...
your wife must look after the kids alone until then?
We will work together.
Now...
(Frustrated)
(He shakes his head.)
The husband of the first worry was like,
"What kind of a jerk is he?"
He shook his head so hard.
- He kept doing that. - He did.
You should show him...
how well you can raise three children.
You should show him what a good dad is.
Show him.
(Show him what a good dad is.)
(Set an example.)
Set an example for him.
"This is how I would raise children."
(I will think about it.)
According to your logic,
dads would have the easiest time to raise children.
Dads would ignore them when they don't understand words.
"I will talk to them when they understand my words..."
"in elementary school or middle school."
"Then they will be understanding."
By your logic, every child in the world...
would go along with his or her parents.
That's not how it works.
He is right. There needs to be a process.
"Why do you suddenly act like a father?"
- Children might think that. - That's right.
"Why is he suddenly acting this way?"
When you tell them to come home early, they'd be like, "Why?"
"What has he done for us?" They might think that.
Regardless of the shoot, you need to keep that in mind.
Dong Yeob's words come from experience.
He is telling us his son did that.
- My son grew up. - That's why...
he goes home early these days.
That's right.
Say a few words to your husband.
Honey, I hope you would drink in moderation.
I hope you would enjoy your hobbies...
after the three children grow a bit bigger.
On the weekends,
please wake up by 10am.
Raising triplets is exhausting,
but it makes you happy as well, right?
They say, "You are the prettiest." They give me hugs and kisses.
- They ran to you earlier. - That's right.
Seriously.
- It made me tear up a bit. - When that happens...
Even when I'm wearing pajamas, they think I look the prettiest.
(Even when she is wearing pajamas, they think she looks the prettiest.)
I see.
- That's right. - That's all you need.
(A mom's reason of being is her children.)
(A mom thinks about her children...)
(and gains strength.)
Would you be their mom again in your next life?
It's my children only, right?
- Would you want to be their mom? - She doesn't want her husband.
In your next life,
you can change your husband. Don't worry.
Would you want to be their mom in your next life?
- Would you? - Yes.
- But you are exhausted. - I know.
- You don't get much sleep. - I don't need sleep.
(I don't need sleep.)
(Moms can sacrifice anything for their children.)
Say what you want to say to your wife.
(Hesitant)
As you want, I will try to be a dad...
who wakes up early on the weekends.
(He will try to be a dad who wakes up early on the weekends.)
As for drinking,
I will try to drink only on the weekends.
Even if you are a dad...
who doesn't play often with children,
you shouldn't swear or get angry at them.
If you get exhausted...
and run away,
you may be able to be close to them later on.
If you swear or get angry,
you won't be able to be close to them later on.
(If you swear or get angry, you won't ever be close to them.)
Let start with MONSTA X. Do you think it's a worry?
- Of course I do. - Press the button.
I also think it's a worry.
It's a big worry.
I also think it's a worry.
You said you like hero movies by Marvel.
You don't need to watch them...
because your wife is a hero.
I'm serious.
She works, raises three children,
- and takes care of her husband. - She is a superhero.
- There is no hero like her. - She's right.
I wish these fingers would shoot off.
(This is how Yeong Ja plays with a 3D toy.)

This is "Single Path in Life".
Hello.
I'm a mother in my 40s whose heart is heavy...
because of a son who's 16 years old.
Do you know which word my son learned...
after "Mom" and "Dad"?
"My son, say Mom and Dad."
"Mom. Dad."
"Car."
"Car. Car!"
- He is good. - Since then
cars have been his only interest.
"Mother, I saw a limited edition luxury car..."
"on the road today. It was incredible."
"Hyundai is releasing a new car."
"By the way, the truck..."
He talks about cars all day.
"My son, are you studying? Gosh, what is this?"
"A catalogue of cars?"
I'm sick and tired of cars.
"Son, what are these pieces of scrap metal?"
"I got them on the road. This is a wheel cover."
"These are emblem, grille, side mirror,"
"and such."
(He is unique.)
He even brings discarded car pieces home.
I don't know if it would be okay to let him be.
Please resolve my worry.
(Please let my son off this single path.)
- Let's invite her to the stage. - Okay.
Please come on out.
(Whose worry involves a car-obsessed son?)
Ma'am.
Please tell us how obsessed your son is with cars.
I feel like cars are everything...
in my son's life.
My son spends every waking moment...
by talking about cars.
Screwdrivers and discarded car parts...
are piled up in his room.
Since he is a student, his backpack should contain...
- textbooks. - Notebooks and textbooks.
However, he only takes...
catalogs and magazines to school.
Dong Yeob also brought magazines to school when he was younger.
- They were different magazines. - You are right.
They were different magazines.
For a family outing,
we go to a car dealership.
- A car dealership? - Yes.
My son screams while we are on the road.
- "Hold on!" - "Hold on!"
He suddenly screams. When I ask him what's wrong,
he goes, "I must take a photo of that car!"
If he fails to take a photo, we must make a U-turn.
It grates on my nerves.
Since when was he so obsessed with cars?
- After his birthday? - At the age of 2 or 3,
- children begin to draw. - Yes.
At that age, he began to draw cars.
When he was in fourth grade, a neighbor found it fascinating...
and reported him.
To where?
An SBS program, "What on Earth".
- "What on Earth". - "What on Earth".
"What on Earth".
Back then, I didn't think it was a serious problem.
I thought his obsession would stop, but it continued to middle school.
It worries me.
As a mother,
I think I would love it...
if my child finds what he likes...
early on.
- Me too. - I would root for his dream.
His interested lean too heavily on one side.
A student should focus on his studies.
- You think studies come first. - Yes.
I think it's nice...
that there is something...
- he is passionate about. - That's right.
I have always wanted to be a singer,
but my mom wanted me to be a lawyer,
- doctor, - A prosecutor.
or prosecutor.
Gosh, why are moms like that?
However, I learned music, dance,
and rap to get to where I am.
You succeeded.
(I'm still worried as a mom.)
Let's meet the son who's obsessed with cars.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
How cute!
Hello.
(They are happy to see each other.)
You waved and bowed.
- Yes. - All right.
Aren't you going to say hello to me?
Hello.
- He seems cheerful and smart. - He seems nice.
How much do you like cars? Do you like them a lot?
Of course I like them a lot.
He spoke like a middle-aged man.
- "Of course." - He is mature.
What do you like so much about cars?
I always found it fascinating...
that vehicles with different wheels...
could carry people and luggage. It continued on to this day.
That's why I like cars.
To children,
it's a magical phenomenon.
Machines that move on their own...
and float on water...
are magical to children.
There must be a car you like the most.
I like Hyundai's...
Avante XD the most.
I personally like the edgy style...
of the 2000s.
Some people may think its engine is lacking,
but it has 102 horsepower and 13.6 torque. It's nice enough.
- What did you say? - What?
The durability of the engine is good.
Is Avante XD your favorite car?
Yes, it's my family's car.
- It's your family's car. - You like your family's car.
(He likes all cars.)
I like cars so much...
that I once took the car key and slept in the car.
You like cars so much that you once slept in the car.
- You slept in the car? - Yes.
(That is too much.)
Where do you go to see cars?
Luckily, there is a golf course right in front of the house.
Every weekend, I see luxury cars like Mercedes-Maybach, Rolls-Royce,
and Bentley.
I go to see them.
You go to the parking lot of the golf course...
and walk around.
- There is a popular barbecue place. - A restaurant.
I look at the cars there.
People play golf and eat at that restaurant.
Also, I go to Dosan-daero in Seoul.
- That's right. - There are supercars...
- you don't usually see in Korea. - That's right.
I go there with the friends I know.
Friends you know?
He goes there with his friends.
You can't go anywhere with friends you don't know.
That's how I look at the cars.
(She doesn't get him at all.)
Where do you get...
the catalogs of cars?
When you go to a car dealership, you can take as many as you want...
if you stay witty.
I do that.
- My goodness. - Those are catalogs.
- They are a few. - They are only a few.
(The shelves are packed.)
(He is even keeping a car part.)
Are those all catalogs?
They aren't books.
They are toy cars.
(Toy cars of various colors and shapes)
- They are minicars. - Minicars.
- Those are his drawings. - My goodness.
- He is good. - The drawings are really good.
- They are incredible. - Did you draw them?
I drew them, but they aren't good.
- "They aren't good"? - How could you say that?
- They are really good. - These are his drawings.
(My goodness.)
This is the most recent one. Let's see the bottom ones.
This one is from a while ago.
He wrote, "The handsome Jung Rae Gyeom".
He wrote that.
He loves himself very much.
- He loves himself very much. - He loves himself very much.
- You drew existing cars? - Yes.
These are the drawings.
- That's right. - They are good, right?
- It's hard to make it proportional. - I know.
- Did you learn how to draw? - No.
He taught himself since he loves cars so much.
People his age...
usually draw cars the same way.
He drew each wheel differently.
Did you come up...
with each design?
Yes.
It's not an existing model.
This is a compilation of steering wheel designs.
- Yes. - My goodness.
- Steering wheel designs. - Steering wheel designs.
- How did he do this? - My goodness.
- Look at these. - He loves cars so much.
- They are steering wheel designs. - Steering wheels?
This is unbelievable.
I drew it when I was in elementary school.
That's amazing.
If you look here,
he wrote down all sorts of cars.
(He wrote down the histories and descriptions of cars.)
Starting with Lamborghini...
He even wrote them in English.
Since he likes cars so much,
he got better at English.
- Really? - Yes.
He only likes English.
- He only likes English. - English only?
(She found something.)
When did he draw this, ma'am?
- Was it when he was younger? - When he didn't know how to write.
When he didn't know how to write?
- When he was 4, 5 years old? - Before he entered school.
- Right. - He drew this when he was four,
but he drew only two things that he liked.
He drew a car and a woman.
(A car and a woman)
(Flustered)
It's okay then. What a relief.
- I thought he'd like cars only. - Me too.
That's why we were really worried.
(They unexpectedly solved one of their concerns.)
You also like car parts. Where do you get them?
When my family's car needs to change its parts,
I keep them.
I also collect parts from cars that are scraped.
I pick parts from them.
Aren't those parts sharp?
Isn't it dangerous to pick them?
When I was picking an aluminum pedal,
I tried to pull out the rubber pedal,
but since it has frictional force,
my hands hurt as though they were burning.
(My goodness.)
My gosh. Did you know he went through something that dangerous?
No, I had no idea.
Since our car is pretty old,
he'd ask if we intend to change the horn.
Or he'd ask if we can change the emblem.
He'd give me a silver pedal as a surprise gift.
He changed the pedal as a surprise.
He's doing well then.
- Don't you think? - I just want to ride it as it is.
I don't want him to touch it in case...
- You don't want him to be hurt. - Yes.
Aren't there times when he's useful...
because he knows a lot about cars?
Speaking of which, our car is too worn out...
that we got to change it to a new one.
- He must've been excited. - We changed it after...
17, 18 years.
He looked up all the used car websites.
- Your son did? - Yes, he looked it up.
He compared the price and performance of every car.
He checked if the car's been in an accident or not.
We're using the car he found. In that aspect, he's helpful.
- He's so reliable. - That must've been helpful.
- That's so nice. - Let's check how much her son...
knows about cars.
- Let's begin. - That sounds fun.
Which area are you most confident about?
Wheels are a piece of cake.
Really? Wheels?
You know which car it is from its wheels?
I know every domestic car.
Let's begin the test then.
He'll have to guess which car it is from the photo of a wheel.
Here comes the first picture.
It's from Kia.
(He answers in less than a second.)
It's a 16-inch wheel that's included in an art package.
- What did he say? - I was surprised.
- What did you say? - I was surprised.
(What kind of wheel is it?)
- You can answer slow. - It was too fast.
It's Kia's All New Morning.
You have to choose the art package in order to get the 16-inch wheel.
The 16-inch wheel.
(He knows the size too?)
He's correct.
(He got it right.)
It is Kia's All New Morning.
(Did he actually get it right from the picture of a wheel?)
How did he answer it just from its wheel?
- Here's the next photo. - Here it is.
How did he know just from its wheel?
Is there anyone who knows the answer?
It seems like a new car.
I think the wheel seems like that of Grandeur.
Let's see if you're right.
What's the answer?
I think it's Hyundai's Tucson Facelift.
- What? Futsal? - Futsal?
(Will he get it right again?)
(He got it right.)
He's correct.
- How did he get it right? - How did he do that?
(He continues answering correctly.)
(He doesn't even hesitate once before answering.)
- I think it's that model. - Let's see if he's right.
- Yes. - It is Hyundai's Avante.
What's the answer?
(It's hard to believe this magic.)
Show us the next picture.
Let's guess also. I think I've seen the wheel somewhere.
I don't get it at all.
No one knows it, right?
- It's okay, you can get it wrong. - What's the answer?
(I'm going to guess it right.)
I said, it's okay. You can get it wrong.
Of course.
Only then it makes you a human.
The first car I thought of...
was Kia's Sportage.
But the light is way below where it should be.
So I don't think it's Sportage.
I can assume roughly...
that it's Kia's Niro,
but I'm not so sure.
The answer is...
(Which car does this wheel belong to?)
- It's Kia's Hybrid. - It's Hybrid.
(What a shame.)
He feels more like a human now that he got one wrong.
Let's see the next picture.
This one's quite unique.
It's Korea's first taxi. Goodness.
(Korea's first taxi)
Don't get me wrong.
I think it's Korea's first taxi.
- First taxi? - First taxi?
I mean, in Korea...
He got it right.
(A standing ovation)
My goodness.
I thought he was cursing.
(My gosh, there's such car?)
- It's Korea's first taxi. - I didn't know such car existed.
(Everyone, please don't forget about my worry.)
It's Korea's first car manufactured in 1955.
He's really amazing.
All right. Let's try one more.
This time, we'll let him hear the engine sound.
They all sound the same.
We'll give you four choices.
Then we'll let you hear the engine sound.
Here's the first choice.
There's 1 correct car among the 4.
Let us hear the engine.
(Choices of cars)
(Serious)
(What's that?)
First of all, it's not number four for sure.
I'm not sure if it's number three.
- You don't think it's Avante? - No.
I think it's number two.
Show us the answer.
(He chose number 2.)
(Which car does this engine sound belong to?)
(He got it right.)
(Of course he got it right.)
That's amazing.
How can he get it right only from the engine sound?
(It's so easy, isn't it?)
Here are the choices for question number two.
(Choices of cars)
(Pay attention to the sound.)
(He seems unsure.)
Try guessing the correct answer.
- I pick number 4. - Number 4?
- I pick number 1. - Number 1.
- They each picked numbers 1 and 4. - The engine sounds quite heavy.
I think the engine needs oil.
- We don't need to know that. - He's just saying it.
What's his guess?
Number 1 and 4 consider quietness as their merit.
(Both cars consider quietness as their merit.)
I think it's too revved up. So I'll go with number three.
All your guesses were wrong.
I think so.
- So what's your pick? - I think it's number three.
He said number three, right? What's the answer?
(Will he get it right this time as well?)
(He got it right.)
(I was wrong.)
(He's amazing.)
How do you know all this stuff?
Do you listen to all engines?
Do you listen to them repetitively and memorize them?
I divide the sounds into...
a sporty one from its exhaust or a quiet one.
Even if you keep playing the engine sound or showing the picture,
- I wouldn't get it at all. - You can't.
Of course not.
Could you tell us your dream that's related to cars?
I want to become a truck designer.
- A truck designer? - A truck?
My role model is Peter Schreyer, the top three most influential...
designer in the world.
He's currently the chief design officer at Kia Motors.
He has a clear dream.
If he were my son, I'd support him.
- I'd do that. - I'd support him.
- This doesn't sound like a worry. - Right.
Other people tell me it's not a problem at all,
but a student has to study in order to go to college.
Only then he can do what he wants to do.
There are things my husband and I tell him to do.
I check him randomly.
When I ask him if he's done, he always tells me he is.
After he tells me that,
I check if it's true, but it turns out he hadn't done anything.
- He lied. - Yes, he lied.
He needs to do what he has to do...
before he pursues what he likes.
But he's too into cars, which is a big concern.
(She's worried that her son is too into cars.)
That's that, and these days,
he likes being nosy.
(What's she talking about?)
- What does he do? - To whom?
He doesn't study,
and he patrols the neighborhood.
While he's patrolling,
if a car's window is rolled down,
he calls the owner and tells him so.
- He thinks of it as his own car? - Yes.
- Since there's phone number, - Since there's number?
he calls the owner.
That's a good deed.
That's a good deed, yes.
But once, he saw a school bus...
that had a blown out tire.
He rode on his bicycle as fast as he could.
It was even on a downhill, and it was slippery.
- It was in winter. - It's dangerous.
Motorbikes jump out of streets too.
He just ran to the school bus while staring at it only.
It's a nice gesture and he was being nice,
but wasn't that a bit dangerous?
At that time,
I only thought of telling the driver.
There was another incident that was absurd.
You know how cars have to stop in front of a crosswalk, right?
But cars just drive by fast.
When he sees a car like that, he goes, "What a rude driver."
He takes a photo of the car and reports it.
He can hide a bit when he takes a photo,
but he takes the photo right in front of the driver.
- It can be a problem. - He wants to report it.
I'm worried that he might be harassed by the driver.
It's natural that you're worried.
If someone yells at you...
for taking the photo,
pretend like you're taking a selfie.
That's the only way to calm your mom down.
Of course.
Let's hear from others too.
Who's sitting next to the son?
Hello, I'm the sister of someone...
who's into cars. My name is Jung Yoon Seo.
- How adorable. - She's smart also.
Did you know your brother is this obsessed with cars?
Yes, I did.
Whenever we are on an expressway,
he'd go like, "Look! That's such an old car!"
He shouts randomly, which often scares me.
My dad was driving,
so he scolded my brother.
Did he say that when he scolded your brother?
"Don't shout."
(That's not scary at all.)
You must be tired of your brother since he likes cars so much.
You must hate cars.
Yes. I like dancing and singing.
Do you like MONSTA X also?
I don't know who they are.
(Humiliated)
- She may not know. - Goodness.
- She's just in fourth grade. - I'm sorry.
Whom do you like?
I like TWICE and MOMOLAND.
Girls her age like girl groups better.
Then do you like Celeb Five as well?
I don't know them.
(Cheerful)
(What?)
I thought she liked girl groups?
Celeb Five isn't necessarily a girl group, per se.
- But... - It's a mixed gender group.
A mixed gender?
As a mother yourself,
what is your take on this?
I'm a bit concerned about his nosiness,
but I think having a son like him...
- is something to be proud of. - You know what?
Many others including my self think like that.
But is there anything else about him that you're worried about?
Frankly speaking,
I'm the most concerned...
about his relationship with his friends.
- Why? - Why? What about it?
This happened when he was in third grade, after we moved...
to Gangwon Province one year before that.
He'd always draw car handles...
and pretend to drive it to school.
The other kids saw that and deemed him strange,
so it was difficult for him to make friends.
- He'd only talk about cars. - Right.
- There was no common interest. - They liked different things.
He kept that to himself...
and ended up getting paralyzed.
We had to bring him to the emergency center.
- Due to stress? - Correct.
So what I'm the most worried about...
is his relationship with his friends.
(She can finally understand.)
(Everybody feels sad for her.)
What did you do after he got paralyzed due to stress?
We moved back to Ansan.
- I completely empathize with her. - Right.
It'll all be for the best if he gets a job related to cars.
- Right. - But that may not happen.
If that happens, he needs to at least know...
how to socialize with others.
- She's worried about that. - Exactly.
Do you remember when that happened?
I was hurt when my friends didn't listen to me...
when I talked about my interest.
So I talked about soccer a bit,
- A bit? - but they still didn't listen.
- I guess it was a bit too late. - Right.
Back in Gangwon Province, what did you guys talk about?
I talked about cars a lot.
I realized then that I was being a bit too much.
I see. How are you doing with your friends now at school?
- Are you guys doing well? - We talk now.
- Really? - Do you guys talk more?
Yes, because I'm conscious of what I talk about.
His friend has come today to tell us...
how they're getting along at school.
- Hi. - He's big.
- Hello. - Hi.
You guys look identical.
What? I look like him?
You guys are indeed friends.
Did you know that he loved cars this much?
Yes. He only talks about cars on a daily basis.
He reads magazines about cars very often.
If I try to touch or crumple the magazines,
he tattles on me to our teacher.
(He reports it to his teacher.)
- Why? - I pity our teacher.
He goes to the teacher?
(I thought he changed.)
Do you tattle on your friends often?
I used to back then, but not that much anymore.
They tattled on me as well,
so I was in their shoes too.
You were in their shoes?
- It's just a prank among them. - Right.
- That's how kids their age play. - Exactly.
From what you've just told us, I don't think you're his friend.
- We are. - Are you two close?
- Yes. - What do you like about him?
- Is there nothing? - He's fun.
- I see. - I see.
Do you think she doesn't need to worry?
No, I don't think she needs to.
(Relieved)
(Now, they're doing fine.)
Do you wish for your son...
to stop having interest in cars?
I want him to like cars in moderation.
As a student,
he needs to study well...
in order to go to the college of his choice.
I'm not asking him to get a 100 percent in every class.
That's impossible, ma'am.
I know.
He should at least get 90 percent.
(An average of 90 percent)
- You need to put down your greed. - That's still a bit too much.
- Yes. - Yes.
Maintaining an overall grade of 90 percent or above...
- is not easy at all. - Right.
This is what I want to tell you.
My juniors in this industry...
received a chance to work abroad.
Because of that, they suddenly started learning...
Japanese, Chinese, or English in a short period of time.
- They've become fluent. - Right.
I think you should rather help him realize...
that it is possible for him to do that as well.
My mother also told me that a lot.
She said studying was important.
When I heard that, it only gave me pressure.
When I was at the peak of my desire and passion...
to achieve a certain dream,
she kept bringing me down by talking about school.
(They wish for her to cheer him on.)
Any last words for your son?
I'm not forbidding you to do it.
I believe that in order to achieve your dream,
you should have a strong foundation.
I'm going to trust you once more...
and hope that you will be able to achieve your dream.
I promise to repay you for your trust in me...
and become a diligent son.
I love you.
Me too.
- He's so adorable. - Let's vote now.
As long as he doesn't do anything too serious,
I don't think this is a worry.
I don't think it's a worry.
I don't either.
I don't think it's a worry.
Me neither.
