- National Competition on Worries! - Competition on Worries!
(Hello!)
Let me introduce you to our today's guests. The queen diva,
- Noh Sa Yeon! - Hello.
P.O and B-Bomb of Block B!
(P.O and B-Bomb of Block B)
Hello.
JooE and Hyebin of MOMOLAND!
(JooE and Hyebin of MOMOLAND)
Sa Yeon, Hello has been...
- aired for almost 10 years, - I see.
but you haven't been on the show until now.
I had my reasons. Actually, I am old enough...
to be careful with my back.
However, everything else about this show is great,
- but the chair... - That's true.
- We sit on the floor. - All I could see was the chair...
because I had a back problem.
- All I could see was the chair. - We could've let you lie down.
Well... After today's show...
- Can I sit with my legs straight? - Yes, you can straighten your legs.
- Yes. - Of course. Let us all do that.
- Everyone, straighten your legs. - Let's sit comfortably.
- My, P.O is wearing white socks. - Right.
(Even his socks are pure white.)
You're close friends...
- with Yeong Ja. - We're close friends.
Before I got married, Yeong Ja said,
"I thought you would never get married."
She said she was disappointed when I got married.
- "You traitor." - Whenever we run into each other,
she says, "Sa Yeon, you're so old-fashioned."
"Getting divorced is a trend these days."
- My goodness. - What is wrong with you?
- "Follow the trend." - She told me to follow the trend.
She said it to me.
- JooE and Hyebin... - It's a great comment.
must think Sa Yeon's story is very funny.
They're so cute.
You never know. They may be laughing without listening to us.
- No. It was funny. - I did that when I was a newcomer.
I thought about something else while laughing.
(Giggling)
That's understandable.
Look.
P.O is laughing like this.
That's funny.
Oh, he laughs easily.
He laughs so easily. It's real laughter.
P.O is the most popular among...
- elementary school students. - Really?
I heard you did something to do Dong Yeob a favor.
- My son is a big fan of him. - I see.
He injured his leg.
He sent a video message to my son hoping for a quick recovery.
- That would keep him strong. - I asked him to do so.
- Dong Yeob... - "Hi. I hope you recover soon."
My son is a fan of his too.
- Although he's in middle school. - Exactly.
- I guess I'm popular among boys. - Yes.
I'm very grateful.
When we see you on TV,
you look cute and innocent.
People are curious about how you actually are in real life.
Some things are different from how I seem on TV.
In fact, I'm not that innocent.
- You are... - I also...
I know what everyone else knows.
- I'm 27 years old. - His face turned red.
- Then tell us what you know. - Right.
What do you know?
(He's adorable.)
Not long ago, Moon Geun Young said she's your fan...
- on another TV show. - Did she?
She said you have a beautiful smile.
- Really? - Didn't you watch it?
- Didn't you hear about this? - In fact, I watched it.
I read the news article yesterday.
Then why did you say, "Really?"
He's not innocent.
I was just too shy.
- I feel very happy. - How does it make you feel?
I've been a fan of hers since I was a little child.
Thank you very much...
for speaking highly of me. I'll enjoy...
- your dramas and movies. - Have you not met her before?
- No, I haven't. - P.O and B-Bomb...
are working as Block B's unit group.
The group name is Block B Bastarz.
- P.O, U-Kwon, and I, - U-Kwon?
- the three of us work together. - Block B Bastarz.
We're going to hold a concert on March 29 and 30.
- A concert? - Yes.
- I hope it'll be successful. - I hope many people will come.
When people meet JooE of MOMOLAND,
- they become cheerful. - She makes others happy.
- She's cute. - She's like human soda.
However...
(She's so cute.)
I wonder if this is the real you.
You act cute and cheerful on TV shows,
but...
you sit like this in your waiting room.
- What's with that hand gesture? - What's that?
It's a lollipop. She's eating a lollipop.
- It's a lollipop, everyone. - She's eating a lollipop.
- Exactly. - I see.
You released a new song.
- The song title is "Show Me". - "Show Me".
- "Show Me". - Let's watch.
(Then show me!)
("Show Me" by MOMOLAND)
That's cool.
(Exclaiming)
(MOMOLAND is back with their bubbly charms.)
(Enthusiastic)
- It's exciting. - It's exciting.
Now we're going to begin the show with these stars.
Show us the keywords please.
"My Son Went to Prison".
"He Makes My Blood Boil".
- "I'm Getting Bigger and Bigger". - Yes.
"He Makes My Blood Boil".
Hello. I'm a housewife in my 60s,
and I live in Cheongsong, North Gyeongsang Province.
My husband is very famous in our neighborhood.
My neighbor says...
"Oh, my. Did he really make this all by himself? That's amazing."
And the lady next to him says...
"Isn't this good enough to be on a TV show?"
It's because of my husband's unique skills.
My husband has such unique skills on...
bottle caps.
(Bottle caps)
- Bottle caps? - He makes many things with them.
With bottle caps?
"Ouch. What... What on earth is this?"
"It's a ladle I made with bottle caps. What do you think?"
"Look at this. I covered it with bottle caps."
"Isn't it nice?"
You're good at acting.
Of course.
The number of the bottle caps he used to make things...
is about 12,000.
(12,000 bottle caps)
Thanks to him, when I walk around in our house,
I get my clothes torn off because of the bottle caps,
and I get pricked by the bottle caps.
It's so uncomfortable to live like this.
That's not all.
"Ouch. Gosh, what's this?"
"Why did you spill all my bottle caps?"
"Didn't I tell you to be careful?"
"Bottle caps are more important than a person."
(That's unbelievable.)
You're doing really well.
My life is less valuable than bottle caps.
Is there any way I can get rid of those bottle caps?
Please stop my husband.
(Please stop my husband's love for bottle caps.)
P.O, you did a great job.
- I'm flattered. - I was surprised...
- because he acted so well. - Isn't he talented at acting?
- Right? - It was realistic.
- Indeed. - He made it more interesting.
- Really? - He made it more interesting.
- It was fun. - I didn't know that about P.O.
What was that?
- It was fun. - Let's meet our guest.
- P.O, please escort her. - Okay.
(Who is worried about her husband who's in love with bottle caps?)
(Polite)
(Jung Bong Yeon)
Did you see her face before she slid down?
When she saw P.O,
unlike how other people react,
she looked as if she was saying, "Who are you?"
- She was surprised. - That was funny.
What does your husband make with bottle caps?
I'm very curious.
Normal people wouldn't be able to even imagine it.
He attaches bottle caps on twigs or cut them...
and put them on the walls in a bedroom.
Whenever he sees an empty space,
he covers it with bottle caps.
(I won't accept any empty space.)
He brings a whole sack of empty energy drink bottles...
from a pharmacy to our house.
He keeps only the lids...
and puts the glass bottles in the recycling bin.
He saved so many bottle caps.
You know the rice sack, right?
He has about 10 sacks full of bottle caps at home.
- In your house? - Yes.
Do you live in a large house?
(Speechless)
All right. I get it, ma'am.
What made him fall in love with bottle caps?
Does your husband like making things?
- Bottle cap art. - He used to work...
at an elementary school.
- Oh, he was a teacher? - I see.
- No. He was an administrator. - An administrator? I see.
After he retired,
the school asked him to help them with work as a volunteer worker.
He starts work at 8am and ends it...
at 4pm. He does traffic control...
- helping students cross the road. - He does volunteer work.
- He's doing a good deed. - Yes.
Except for that,
he spends all of his time on making things with bottle caps...
without even eating.
- That's unusual. - He spends so much time on it.
- Sa Yeon... - I'm curious about what he made.
Let's see what he made.
- He did a wonderful job. - It's made with bottle caps.
Let's see what he made.
- He did a wonderful job. - It's made with bottle caps.
(Bottle cap flowers are blooming.)
- They're bottle cap flowers. - Ma'am,
- what's that? Is it a flower? - My goodness.
He put those on the closet in our bedroom.
On the closet?
That one is on our fridge.
- On your fridge. - The flowers...
- That's a piece of artwork. - Bottle cap flowers are blooming.
It's really pretty.
My goodness.
(My goodness!)
- Gosh. Those are clothes. - Goodness gracious.
(Would you like to try on clothes with bottle caps on them?)
The clothes with bottle caps on them can be a weapon.
Exactly.
(The bottle caps waiting to be transformed)
- They have artistic value. - My goodness.
(Who would understand how I feel?)
- Are you here to brag about him? - That's nonsense.
- If you hadn't lived with him, - "That's nonsense."
you wouldn't know how I feel.
- Does everyone you know... - Those bottle caps drive me crazy.
react just like Sa Yeon did?
- "You're bragging, right?" - Everyone in the audience...
exclaimed when they saw what he made.
- Everyone reacted the same way. - It's as if...
I came here to brag about my husband.
But I'm really upset about it.
He put the bottle cap trees in our living room.
When I enter the living room...
He didn't put the bottle caps facing forward.
- They're facing backwards. - That's right.
My clothes get caught by the bottle caps.
- Such as a sweater. - I see.
When my clothes get caught, it makes a clinking sound.
Then he asks if any of the bottle caps fell off.
And if one of them falls off,
- he throws a fit. - "Did you hurt yourself?"
The bottle cap doesn't even matter.
- He and I start fighting. - Bottle caps aren't the problem.
It must make your blood boil.
Of course.
(The thought of it gives me chills.)
He covered the walls and ceiling of one of the rooms...
with bottle caps.
- Your family... - On a holiday,
- our children come to see us. - Right.
We don't even have time to catch up.
- The bottle caps... - "Mom, we're off."
I ask, "Where are you going?"
They sleep at a motel...
because they can't sleep in our house.
We have no place to sleep because of the bottle caps.
That's the room she told us about.
Ma'am, that's a wall, right?
- Is that a wall? - He attached them one by one.
Yes, that's the walls in the room.
(The walls are covered with bottle caps.)
(Unbelievable)
- Oh, gosh. - That's unbelievable.
Even the ceiling is covered with bottle caps.
(Even the ceiling is covered with bottle caps.)
That's unbelievable.
How did he...
put them all on the walls like that?
- There's a bed as you can see. - Yes.
No one can sleep in that bed.
If you put your face on the wall while sleeping...
(What if my face touches the bottle caps?)
Exactly.
- Just like acupuncture treatment. - How can anyone sleep in there?
- Sa Yeon, imagine it. - That's unbelievable.
Your husband made a room that you two share like that.
I would throw a fit.
(Another wife who can relate to it)
- When you told him about the show, - Yes.
how did he react?
- Wasn't he embarrassed? - He was excited.
- Why? Does he like this show? - What?
- He could show his artworks here. - They're his artworks.
- He was excited? - I guess he wants to show off.
Maybe that's why he likes being on a TV show.
- Really? - Did he go on another TV show?
- Yes. - Which one?
"Capture the Moment: How is that Possible".
He went on that show?
(I see.)
People we know came to our house...
- to see what he made. - Right.
They said he should be on "Capture the Moment: How is that Possible"...
and took pictures of his artworks.
But he didn't get any offer.
- Oh, no. - He said,
"They said they'd tip off the show, but no one called me."
Saying things like this, he made me...
feel unsettled.
- Pardon? - He makes me feel unsettled.
- What does that mean? - What exactly does he do?
- Feeling unsettled means... - Dizzy?
- No, it's the opposite of "dizzy". - I see.
Don't say anything if you don't know what it means.
You got it wrong.
- What does it mean? - Does he make you curious?
- Curious. - Let us guess what it means.
- He makes you... - Grilling someone?
He makes you anxious.
- Grilling someone? - Bothering someone?
Is that correct?
Yes, it's correct.
- When did he get the offer? - He made me feel anxious.
He kept acting like that...
for a year, and that made me...
Ma'am, please tell us what happened instead of how it happened.
I just asked you a question.
So I tipped off the staff of the show.
- You did? - I did.
(What?)
You tipped them off by yourself?
How could that happen?
Exactly.
So when your neighbors contacted the staff,
he didn't get any offer for a year.
Your husband wouldn't stop complaining about it,
so you called the staff?
Yes. I called them a year later.
Could you have come here because your husband...
nagged you to send us his story?
My husband...
doesn't know much about this show.
- He doesn't know what it's about? - No.
He was excited just to be on TV.
So he came with you without knowing about this show...
- just because it's a TV show? - Yes.
What do you want from your husband?
I want him to stop trying to appear on a TV show.
No more TV shows.
And stop making things with bottle caps.
I want him to find another hobby.
- A different hobby? - Yes.
Let's meet with her husband.
Sir, hello.
(Who is her husband who cherishes bottle caps more than his family?)
Hello.
You're a TV show lover.
- Sir, you're TV show lover. - He sure likes being on a TV show.
Sir, do you know what kind of show...
this is?
I don't know.
I came with her because she said I'd be on a TV show.
Sir, if you thought...
you were here because of your bottle cap crafts,
when you saw a lot of people here,
you must've wondered what they made.
(Are they all artisans?)
You're not here to brag about your bottle cap crafts.
- Your wife hates it. - I see.
She wants you to stop trying to appear on TV shows...
and to stop making things with bottle caps.
She's here to talk about her concerns with us.
I can't stop doing it,
so I'll continue doing it.
(I need to change his mind.)
Since when did you like bottle caps so much?
On my last day at work,
I had a drink with my work colleagues.
I saw one of them throwing away a bottle cap.
I felt like I was in the same situation...
as the bottle cap.
(No one expected a story like this behind his hobby.)
I felt like I was just like that bottle cap,
- so I put it... - I can understand him.
in my pocket and brought it home.
I cut it with scissors,
and it looked like a flower.
- That's when you started doing it. - Oh, my.
- It's a heart-wrenching story. - Exactly.
Ma'am, please let him enjoy his hobby.
(Please let him collect bottle caps.)
(Upset)
Sir, I understand that you like...
bottle caps,
but can you understand...
- your wife's concerns? - She looks upset.
Yes. I understand her.
But until the day I die,
I won't stop it.
- So you understand her? - Yes, I do.
Your hands are shaking.
Is it because you worked too much with bottle caps?
Since there are a lot of people in here,
- Are you nervous? - I'm very nervous.
He has a finger problem.
- His hands? - Because of bottle cap crafts?
(What problem does he have?)
He used scissors too much,
and he can't use his fingers now.
Which ones? Gosh.
(My goodness.)
His little fingers...
- on both hands. - Oh, my gosh.
Can't you straighten those fingers?
The tendons swelled up like this...
and became as stiff as a rock.
Oh, my.
- He wasn't like that before? - No.
- He just won't go to the hospital. - No?
Why won't you go?
He says it doesn't hurt.
I'm afraid they'll find something wrong with me.
- He's afraid. - Goodness.
- You should go. - There's already something wrong.
My fingers are already bent,
so there won't be any more issues. I'm okay.
They need to be straightened.
It's all right.
(This is why I'm frustrated.)
Your room is just full of sharp-edged bottle caps.
Have you ever gotten injured by them?
When I go to bed,
- I don't move at all. - You don't move?
- You don't move at all? - So there's no problem.
During the summer, it gets quite hot at home.
But the bottle caps...
- Do they make it cooler? - make the room cooler.
They're useful for acupressure.
- Acupressure? - They're good...
- Acupressure? - for massaging my back.
I heard that your son sleeps at a motel when he visits you...
- because there's no space at home. - He sleeps at a motel.
I can't rip off all those bottle caps.
He's so laidback.
In a way, for now,
you value your bottle caps more than your family.
My family is important.
- But my bottle caps are as well. - I see.
- Your family should matter more. - But...
- Look at her. - She must be upset.
Her facial expression must have changed.
All that I can see is her lips.
- They're protruding. - I know.
(She's upset.)
She must be upset.
Ma'am.
Who knew that he'd love bottle caps this much?
I know.
When I'm really upset,
- I tell him to sleep with them. - I understand.
We asked him to bring...
- some of his work. - His work?
- Yes, we did. - We get to see them.
He brought them today, so let me show you.
He cut them all.
Come here. They're all cut.
- I know. - It's a clock.
- He didn't just attach them. - Look here.
(It's a collaboration of various items and bottle caps.)
(He cut every single one of the bottle caps.)
(It's his work of art.)
(Aren't they pretty?)
He attached them to these CDs.
- And that's a helmet. - Oh, no!
(He causes a mess.)
(Oh, no!)
What should we do?
(A bottle cap falls.)
(No!)
(The flower that he worked on...)
(lost its petal.)
(Panicking)
- What should we do? - I'm so sorry.
- Sir... - Hey!
Sir! I'm sorry!
He is clenching his teeth.
- Is it all right? - It's okay.
- Is it? - I can reattach it.
- Sir. - He can just reattach them.
All right. Please explain...
each of these to us. Let's start with this one.
It's called "The Lucky Money Tree".
- "The Lucky Money Tree"? - "The Lucky Money Tree"?
- There are 50 cents in the caps. - I see.
(Amazed)
The color of the coins are all different.
- How did you do this? - It's fake.
I put a paper over it and colored it.
- With colored pencils? - With colored pencils?
- That's what I did. - I see.
It took a lot of work.
I can definitely see your great effort.
- Goodness. - It looks so time-consuming.
(That's no luck. It's a nuisance.)
- I'm curious about that helmet. - He's a master.
- I want to try it on. - I ride a bike.
- Do you wear this? - When I put that on,
the neighbors offer me their bottle caps.
That's why I wear it.
- You're quite famous. - Yes.
- They offer their bottle caps. - It's his trademark.
- But... - But was it necessary...
to open up the bottle caps like this?
I could've attached them upside down.
- But if I did that, - That would be safer.
the brand name...
would've been seen on TV.
- It was because of that? - He took that into consideration.
It's because of the brand name.
That's why I had no choice.
- Because of indirect advertisement. - Yes.
- That's why. - Then...
- I... - Do you know what this show is?
- Now, I do. - She came here...
- Now, he understands. - to discuss about you.
You shouldn't be too proud.
We need to focus on her and her worry.
It was sad to hear about how he...
- started doing this. - I know.
- It really was. - I don't think it's a bad hobby.
All hobbies are good.
But this wasn't the first time.
He always liked making things.
Once, he had to go to Pohang to work.
I had remained in Cheongsong County. One time I went to him.
You know those popsicle sticks?
He had piles of them at home.
He had them in all three rooms and in the living room.
- You know tree roots, right? - Yes.
He had collected them as well.
There was no place to sleep.
After a few years, he could move back home.
And he carried all of them in a truck.
- Goodness. - He brought them all.
And then, he piled them on top of the bed.
- Goodness. - You must've been upset.
- And now, he's into bottle caps. - Right.
He's been doing things like this for a long time.
- That's why it's driving me crazy. - I understand.
(It drives her crazy that her house is always filled with things.)
I broke my ribs two years ago.
- Oh, no. That hurts so much. - Goodness.
You should be careful.
I couldn't get up on my own.
- Right. - He didn't even help me.
(He didn't help her.)
(She gets teary-eyed.)
I'm about to cry.
While I was in that state,
I begged him...
to help me get up, but he didn't.
To make things worse, he wanted me to cook for him.
- In that state? - I've always done that for him.
- That's upsetting. - Since he's always focused...
on the bottle caps, it makes me mad.
- That's... - I don't know why I have to suffer.
- That was wrong of him. - He shouldn't have done that.
She couldn't even get up on her own.
- Goodness. - I bet what upset her the most...
- was that the first thing... - She couldn't do anything.
- she had to do was cook for him. - Right, I had...
- to cook for him. - He could've ordered food.
- Why did you do that? - Why were you... Gosh.
I'm frustrated. Can't you just throw the bottle caps away?
- I... - You should apologize.
I had no idea she was in that much pain.
You should've believed her.
- She told you it hurt. - She's crying right now.
You should say that you're sorry.
I'm sorry if it hurt that much.
(He didn't mean it.)
He wasn't sincere at all.
- Come on. - You weren't sincere.
(Think about your wife.)
(He's not considerate enough.)
We don't know the full story yet,
so their neighbor came.
Let's meet him. Hello.
Hello. I own a butcher's shop.
He was our elementary school's security guard.
So I've known both of them since I was young.
- Right. - I see.
Whenever he comes by to buy meat,
he asks if I have any bottle caps.
Every month, 3 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week,
and then three days. It drives me crazy.
- Wow. - Where can you get bottle caps?
I need to drink.
So you drink on purpose...
- to give them to him? - I sell to many customers.
So I ask them for bottle caps.
- I do that. - What a nuisance.
- Seriously. - I tell him to stop now.
I tell him to think about his wife.
(Laughing)
He tells me that he'll come a week from now.
And then, he leaves.
This stresses me out as well. It's a worry of mine.
If he got rid of the bottle caps, would that solve everything?
He goes to dumps...
and looks for bottle caps.
He also brings home antiques.
(He brings home antiques.)
He keeps bringing home things.
- Goodness. - I don't know...
why he keeps bringing home these things.
(When will he end?)
- He brings them. - But at least,
- he doesn't buy anything. - "Buy"?
Of course, he does. If he can't find things, he does.
He spends at least 100 to 200 dollars.
Even if a 5-dollar item is sold for 100 dollars,
- he'll buy it if he needs it. - Right.
Goodness.
The bottle caps aren't the only issue. He fills in the house.
- Oh, my. - We have brought...
- some of his antiques. - All right.
- Yes. Oh, my, they're old. - Look at them.
- Check this one out. - It's a taffy seller's scissors.
- This is used for furnaces. - Right.
- You spin it. - Right, I've seen this before.
- This is how you light a furnace. - A furnace?
(Old textbooks)
(Hair-trimming tool)
(Old phone)
(Taffy seller's scissors)
- He has collected many things. - How many of these do you have?
I have about 200 of them.
- They're my antiques. - We have another worry.
Do you have plans to keep collecting these?
- Yes. - Oh, my gosh.
You'll need a bigger house.
These days, I've become more interested in antiques.
- I like them better. - Grandmother.
I mean, ma'am.
I'm sorry.
Why did you have...
- to irritate her even more? - I was reading something.
Who is Ye Hoon?
Our oldest grandson.
Ye Hoon is their oldest grandson.
There's a note in here.
It says, "Ye Hoon, don't throw these books away."
"I bought them for 30 dollars per book."
"After a long time, they'll be worth even more."
"They're antiques. They must not be thrown away."
"Promise me. You'll get a lot of money later on."
- "From Grandpa". - "From Grandpa".
He wrote it right here.
You taught your grandson investment skills through this textbook.
His investment.
- Could you give me one? - I bought one in Seoul.
Could you give me one?
I can't do that.
(He curtly refuses.)
"I can't do that."
(They're all for his grandson.)
The bottle caps themselves are an issue already. With these,
- Right. - where will you stay?
I have an apartment in Seoul.
- What? - I have plans...
to move everything over there.
- Ma'am, did you know about this? - Did you know?
- He has an apartment. - I had no idea.
Did you know he has an apartment?
I knew that he has an apartment.
But apartments are for people to live in.
Who buys an apartment...
only to fill it up with antiques?
I can't believe he just announced that.
(He is too selfish.)
Do you have to do everything you want to do?
If I want to do something, I don't even need any sleep.
- You... - That's fine,
but you should listen to your wife too.
She looks so depressed.
I don't understand what makes her...
- You don't understand. - so unhappy.
How is it?
Old people in Korea believe...
men are more important.
They think men are superior to women.
He has to do everything he wants to do...
while a woman can't.
Who manages money?
When it comes to money, I have nothing to say.
He has never given me any money.
(Surprising twist)
- What? - Never?
(Is the wife an angel?)
(There is no end to her worries.)
He never gave me any money...
until he retired.
Not once.
- Oh, my gosh. - Oh, my gosh.
- After marriage... - He never gave me any money,
so I had to do a lot of different jobs.
To support myself,
I had to work.
What kind of jobs did you have?
I worked for 40 years.
Are you ignoring him because he is too handsome?
He just asked what kind of jobs you had.
- What kind of jobs did you have? - Look at him.
Look at him.
(Cute)
(Shy)
(P.O makes her weak.)
(She finally smiled.)
- P.O made her smile. - Oh, my goodness.
There was a reason why she couldn't look at him.
Ask her again.
- She looks so happy. - What kind of jobs did you have?
(What kind of jobs did you have?)
(She becomes weak again.)
- At first, I ran a small shop. - A small shop.
- After that, a stationery store. - A stationery store.
Also, I delivered briquettes in a cart in my mid-20s.
- A cart. - That must have been hard.
- That's hard work. - I sold fish cakes too.
Right now, I work in insurance.
I've been doing it for 32 years.
- You're still doing it? - Yes.
Why did you never give her any money?
- Why? - There is a reason.
My older brother's business failed,
so I had to pay his debts.
I had no money left.
You paid your brother's debts?
Yes. I was going to...
give my wife my pension instead.
And I'm giving it to her.
Your wife's life must have been very hard.
(He should change for his wife's sake.)
If he is giving you his pension,
can't you just enjoy your own hobby?
You could say...
I have a curfew.
- Did your husband decide that? - Who decided that?
(Because she is a woman?)
He decided that my curfew is...
when the sun sets.
Around 6pm, he starts calling me.
"Where are you? Aren't you coming home?"
- That's... - Then...
does he come home around that time too?
When he starts drinking, he doesn't know when to stop.
After four bars,
when it's almost midnight, they should all go home,
but he brings everyone to our place.
Around midnight, 1am,
or even 2am sometimes.
(Her husband has done so many bad things.)
I do feel bad, but...
I'm pretty picky.
I can't eat just any food.
I want my wife's food.
I think women should come home...
before sunset.
(Frustrated)
Let's say she should come home before sunset.
But many hours after sunset,
you bring your friends home and make her prepare food.
Even if I bring my friends home,
- my wife doesn't complain. - She was...
- She greets them happily. - being patient.
What did you say before?
Women should come home...
They should come home before sunset.
But don't old people...
also believe men should support women?
It's not like I didn't work.
- Your wife worked too. - Yes.
Then shouldn't you prepare food too?
(He should prepare food too.)
I've just never done that in my life.
It doesn't make sense.
He is just used to that.
He's been living that way for decades.
That's why he never questions it.
Your wife might not show it,
but she's been suffering and getting hurt so far.
After today,
can you try to be more considerate and understanding?
Even if she has dinner out...
with her friends,
you should understand.
- I'll try. - Even after sunset.
- Prepare your own food. - Okay.
How do you want your husband to change?
Please tell us.
I want us to go on trips...
from time to time.
When there is a new good restaurant,
I want to go there with him.
- I want to eat out sometimes. - You want to eat out.
That's all I want.
- But... - Oh, my.
(She feels hurt and starts crying.)
I'm sorry.
- It's okay. - It's okay.
(It's not a lot to ask.)
Did your husband buy the apartment with his own money?
It was my money.
(Surprised)
You bought it with your money?
- Sir. - Yes?
- What are you filling it with? - This is too much.
What are you filling the apartment with?
Antiques.
(Embarrassed)
You're a married couple,
but it seems more like you're exploiting your wife.
(Without your wife, you couldn't enjoy your hobby.)
Where do your children live?
Do they live close to you?
- Our eldest son lives in Myanmar. - Okay.
Our second son lives in Gyeonggi Province.
So they live far away from you.
With your eldest son living abroad,
you must...
- feel a bit empty. - You feel lonely.
- Is that right? - Yes. That's partly why...
I'm so obsessed with bottle caps.
- Ma'am. - Sir.
Your wife is in the same situation.
Your son is not only your child.
He is your wife's child too.
She must feel lonely too.
Am I right?
You're right.
The most important person to you is...
the one closest to you.
You two are a married couple. I hope you'll remember...
who is the most important person to you.
Look your husband in the eye...
and tell him what you want.
With your fingers and all... I want us to be...
healthy and happy for the rest of our lives.
That's not much to ask.
She loves him so much.
She still loves you.
- Be nice to her. - Seriously.
- How can she be like this? - All right.
I'll spend less time with bottle caps from now on.
I'll stop buying antiques too.
Let's go out and eat nice food...
together more often.
I love you.
(Smiling)
She looks happy.
You look so happy.
Let's start from Hyebin. Is it a worry or not?
I hope he'll keep his promise.
I feel so sad.
The room was full of his works,
but nothing was dedicated to his wife.
So I think... You're too bad.
(JooE thinks it's a worry.)
I hope they'll spend more time together.
I want to believe things will change,
- so I don't think it's a worry. - Okay.
Please try to change, sir.
If you think it's a worry,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up.
Sir, did you know what this show was about?
No.
Do you regret being on the show?
Yes.
(He'll never be on a TV show again.)
"He Makes My Blood Boil". Show us the result.
(The result)
(The last digit is 9.)
Out of 200,

[VIU Ver] E405 Hello Counselor "Think About Others" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(169 votes)
"My Son Went to Prison".
Hello, I'm a woman in my 40s...
who has a son.
My son is a good student.
This year,
he entered a boarding high school...
where you need good grades to enter.
We were all so happy about it.
But after some time...
"Mom, I can't stay here anymore."
"Mom."
Since he entered the dormitory,
he's been crying every day.
(That's too bad.)
"Honey, our son wants to move out of his dormitory."
"What? He's just being too impatient."
"Never."
My husband won't allow our son to move back home.
"Mom, please let me go home."
"When can I move out of here?"
"Well, son,"
"your father is against it."
"Is it him again?"
"I told you not to take his calls. Hang up right now."
It feels like my son is in prison. It breaks my heart.
But my husband won't budge.
I don't know what to do.
Please help my family.
(Please help my family.)
Have you ever lived in a dormitory?
I've never lived in a dormitory,
but during vacation,
I went to a summer school in Cheonghak-dong.
- Right. - For about a month.
You learn etiquette...
- You did that? - for 3 or 4 weeks.
And I ran away from it.
(Shocked)
- You couldn't stand it? - No.
It was two days before the last day.
I lay down at night...
and thought, "If I finish this successfully,"
"my parents might send me..."
- "to something like this again." - They might send you again.
In the middle of the night, wearing hanbok, barefoot,
I escaped and took a taxi...
- Unbelievable. - and went home.
You didn't go back after that?
- No. - So it was a success.
- It was a success. - It worked out.
That's why you can...
- I can sympathize with him. - sympathize with him.
Let's meet his mother first.
- Please come on out. - Please come on out.
(Who's struggling because of the father and son in conflict?)
(Lee Soo Mi)
(Guys go to escort her.)
(He holds her hand and escorts her.)
- Be careful. - P.O.
She's fine.
It's because he went to an etiquette school.
(Laughing)
(He's got great manners.)
Why is your son trying...
to leave the dormitory?
My son loves singing.
In middle school, his dream...
was becoming a singer or a songwriter.
- He wanted to do music. - He wanted to be a musician.
But he failed to get into an art high school.
He enrolled in a regular high school.
Because he is living in a dormitory, there's no space to sing.
He can't sing.
He heard they had a band,
but it turned out the band had been disbanded.
- Oh, dear. - He must be frustrated.
By the way, why did he go to a boarding school?
He wanted to sing so badly.
A lot of smart kids go to that school.
It's a school with a history.
In middle school, he was a very good student.
- Did he study well? - Yes. He was always in top three.
Top three.
Even when he didn't study at all,
his average was always over 95.
Even when he didn't study?
- Yes. Even when he didn't study. - She's bragging about her son.
(Laughing)
- She's bragging. - Top three in his classroom?
- Yes. - He's smart.
Is it a small branch school?
- No. - Okay.
We have to make it clear.
(Laughing)
Then does...
every student in that school live in a dormitory?
They choose the top students...
and allow them to live in the dormitory.
That's why my husband can't understand...
why he wants to leave the dormitory when it was so hard to get in.
Right. If I were him,
- I know. - I would say that too.
How long has he been living in the dormitory?
- It's been about two weeks. - That's a bit short.
I think you came to Hello too hastily.
You should've waited at least a month.
Two weeks.
Two weeks is a bit too short.
I think he would need time to adjust.
I think on the first day he moved in,
he realized that there's no place for him to sing.
He's finding it really hard to cope. He calls me every day.
- What does he say? - "Mom, I don't have an appetite."
He says this is how it would feel if he breaks up with his first love.
He said he was so sad and cried really hard.
I could feel that he was really sincere.
But in my opinion...
everything has the right timing.
He's a student now, so he should study first...
- and then find his dream. - Right.
- His dad has a point. - Right.
That's what I think from what I heard.
I want to study right now.
I want to really go to college.
When I became a singer,
I could understand why my parents told me to study.
I realized that.
I've been working in this industry for a long time.
But I wish...
I had studied more.
One day, I thought to myself that it's still not too late,
and I opened a book to study.
When I started studying, I remembered why I didn't study.
Right. That's exactly right.
- That's why I didn't study. - Right.
- That's it. - I can understand you.
We need to hear what he has to say.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
(Hello.)
Do you understand your wife's concern?
Yes. I understand my wife's concern.
But I can't understand my son's concern.
(He can't understand his son's concern.)
It hasn't even been two weeks.
But he already wants to leave the dormitory.
- And I can't understand it. - I know.
Why don't the two of you discuss about...
- him living at home... - He can study and sing.
and going to school from home?
The school is quite far...
from home.
- That's why... - How far is it?
It takes about an hour and a half.
- That's very far. - He should stay in the dormitory.
To get to school by 8:00am,
he has to get up by 5:30am and get ready.
I think it would be much better if he stays in the dormitory...
and use that time to study.
That's why I absolutely think he should stay in the dormitory.
You are not trying to make him give up the dream...
of becoming a singer, are you?
I am not. On Saturdays and Sundays,
he gets to get a vocal lesson.
For three years he was in middle school,
we supported him to do everything he wants to do.
We used to live in an apartment.
- He sang. - But he sang after midnight.
The downstairs neighbor kept complaining.
So we moved to a low-rise house, and we still live there.
Did you move so that your son can sing?
- Yes. - He's amazing.
- He's very supportive. - He's amazing.
- He's amazing. - People are clapping for him.
(Everyone is clapping for his effort.)
But his son must be getting more and more pressured.
(The situation suddenly turns in favor of the father.)
Let's hear from their son...
why he so eagerly wants to leave the dormitory. Hello.
Hello.
Why are you so eager to leave the dormitory?
I want to do music.
It's really stressful and hard.
I am really surprised.
You clearly told your mom that you don't have an appetite.
(He said he doesn't have an appetite.)
He might have lost a lot of weight.
Did you lose weight?
People might say that you've been eating well.
- He's been eating well. - Did you lie to your mom?
I've always been chubby.
- He's always been chubby. - He's always been chubby.
Everyone would agree...
that two weeks is too short.
- Right. - Isn't it embarrassing?
I want to achieve my dream as soon as possible.
High school lasts for three years.
I want to spend...
my three years well.
Are you not allowed to practice singing in the dormitory?
- You cannot sing. - You cannot sing.
You are supposed to wake up around 6:30am.
They check everyone for 10 minutes.
I take a shower for 20 minutes.
Then I eat breakfast and go to school.
You are not going to tell us about each and every period, are you?
After the classes,
we go straight back to the dormitory.
Then there's a 70-minute self-study session, 20-minute break,
then another 70-minute self-study session. It repeats...
until we go to bed at 12:20am.
- No way. - Isn't practicing at home...
during weekends not enough?
I can't sing for five days.
I can't write songs. I can't play a piano.
- You get anxious. - Yes.
When he has time, he tends to slack.
When he's given time, he doesn't concentrate.
He doesn't concentrate.
When we were growing up,
we didn't have time or money to study.
And nobody was there to teach us.
But that's not the case now.
When you were young, you wanted to study,
your circumstance prevented you from studying.
That's why you want...
your children to study. Every parent feels that way.
When we were getting married, he told me this.
His brother was a good student, so he didn't do any work.
But he did a lot of farming.
That's why he has a high expectation...
- on his son. - I am sure.
(They grew up differently, so they have different values.)
What do you want your son to do in this situation?
I want to leave...
the dormitory as fast as I can.
But leaving dormitory doesn't mean...
that I will stop studying and spend all my time doing music.
I am aware that I need to study.
There's something Dad always says.
"Who wouldn't give you what you want if you rank first in school?"
- Rank first? - That's legendary.
- You should study... - Study hard and try...
- and prove something. - ranking first in school.
- Wait. - He already ranks high.
If he ranks first in his class, can he leave the dormitory?
(Can he leave he dormitory if he ranks first in his school?)
He can't.
No way.
(Why did he change his word?)
- Where did that come from? - He can't.
He keeps saying he wants to leave the dormitory.
He has to rank first...
and then negotiate with me. That's what I meant.
I graduated from art high school,
and a lot of my classmates had this worry.
If he was my friend...
- Think of him as your friend. - Give him advice.
- You are... - Think of him as your friend.
This can't go on air.
Try it.
- Try it. - You are...
(What's the secret solution?)
You are not supposed to study well.
(You are not supposed to study well.)
- To do art. - You have to study badly.
Only then your parents will support you to do music.
"You are bad at studying, so you should do music."
If he ranks first in his school,
- it would be harder. - That's hard.
- That's what I think. - You're right.
How can you make him do music when he ranks first in his school?
The way you think is completely different.
- That's a reality. - Do you agree with him?
I agree with him completely.
Why would you study well?
(He scolds him for a strange reason.)
(I am glad he already is a good student.)
Do you have a detailed plan on how to keep up...
your grades even after leaving the dormitory?
You need to show it to your dad.
I listed my goals in order.
- "I, Park Seong Joon, will..." - It's a written promise.
- "continue to study hard even..." - "Continue to study hard".
"if I leave the dormitory."
Did he sign it and put a thumbprint?
Yes.
Is that a thumbprint?
- Yes. - He's very determined.
What do you think?
I saw that too.
But I can't trust him.
That's bad. He doesn't trust his son.
But he put a thumbprint.
I had blind faith in him when he was in 9th grade.
He played games with his friends at the most important period.
(His laziness disappointed him.)
He played.
He likes reading webtoons.
I don't mind that.
He spent about 20 to 30 dollars on it in September.
In October, it increased to 50 to 60 dollars.
In November, he spent about 110 dollars.
(He spent 110 dollars on webtoon just before the exam.)
That's how he acted, and I can't...
- He broke the trust. - trust him anymore.
When I was in the third year of middle school,
I was very lost.
I couldn't sing well.
I thought I didn't have what it takes, and it pressured me.
That's why I played with my friends and watched webtoons.
- I... - I am really curious.
I want to see how talented he is.
When I listen to his music, I'd know if he needs to do music.
Or do you have a song you've written?
- Or even practice pieces? - Yes.
He's got a notebook.
"Sunny day is infinitely warm."
- It's very lyrical. - "Snowy day is infinitely cold."
That's an obvious thing to say.
"Our love..."
(He's only a 1st-grade high school student.)
"I only became a little distanced from you,"
"and yet it feels like my heart is bruised."
"I tell myself it's okay and wear makeup."
"But the bruise doesn't get covered up."
It's more like a poem than song lyrics.
I think he wrote it in the dormitory.
You wrote it in middle school, right?
No. I wrote all of those in just two weeks.
- He wrote it in the dormitory. - In just two weeks?
You did a lot in two weeks. You made a plan and wrote this too.
Can you sing for us?
There's a song I wrote just three days after...
I started playing the guitar.
- Really? - Just three days after.
- He wrote a song after 3 days? - After just 3 days?
If he wrote a song just 3 days after starting to play...
the guitar, it means he's incredibly talented.
I will sing a couple of bars.
Sing it longer.
(He calmly starts playing the guitar intro.)
It sounds quite lovely.
(He finally starts singing.)
(He unexpectedly has a mellow voice.)
(Even the big singer listens carefully.)
(Even though the whole nation is watching, he sings calmly.)
(His lyrics contain his sincerity.)
(He's good, isn't he?)
(It's really good.)
(His mellow voice...)
(spreads throughout the studio.)
(Even the idols are surprised.)
- He's good. - Yes.
(He's ballad voice has a strong appeal.)
(He ends the song...)
(by shyly bending a note.)
(Even the big singer is surprised.)
Only after three days...
Only three days after learning to play a guitar,
- he wrote this song. - He's good.
- It's too good. - Why did get rejected?
- I know. - Where did you apply?
- Where did you apply? - Who did you get it from?
Mom or Dad?
I love the song.
Honestly...
I kept thinking about this.
"He must be insisting to sing when he's really bad at singing."
- Me too. - Some people must've thought that.
But the moment he started singing,
- You were surprised, weren't you? - I was so surprised.
- I was really shocked. - You were surprised, weren't you?
(You were all surprised, weren't you?)
- He's too good. It's too good. - I was so surprised.
- He did well, didn't he? - He did well.
- His voice is really nice. - I didn't think he could do music.
- Doesn't he look... - He must've been nervous.
- a little bit like Sung Si Kyung? - He does.
He looks like the youngest brother of Si Kyung.
(She cries.)
(He is calm.)
You heard him sing.
What did you think about it?
Didn't you feel touched?
You are his dad.
I am dull when it comes to that.
It's because I'm tone-deaf.
(He is sad.)
What do you think...
about your father?
People talk about the generation gap.
And I felt it with him.
I was playing a racing game.
Dad came and said...
I should stick to my lane.
(He was told to stay on his lane during a racing game.)
- Game. - You were playing a game.
"You can't change the lane."
"You should turn on the turn signal."
He banned me from playing that game for a month.
(He was banned from playing the game for a month for following the rule.)
(It was too frustrating.)
He doesn't seem to know...
how to talk to his son.
Whenever he talks to his son,
he yells.
He blames him for not trying too hard.
When he has a fight with his friend,
he says, "You must've done something wrong."
He doesn't listen to what his son has to say.
(They have a cold relationship.)
He keeps saying our son is making excuses.
He says I am ruining my son because I have a weak will.
- That's the saddest thing to hear. - He said it was my fault.
Does he directly tell you that it's your fault?
When he was in either 2nd or 3rd year in elementary school,
we went to Mount Halla with other families.
My soles hurt so much...
that I stopped hiking when we reached the picnic area.
My son was worried about me,
and he chose to stay with me.
Seeing that, my husband said he is just as weak as his mother.
He said he's weak because his mother is weak.
Whenever something goes wrong, he mentions that.
I had to carry my son down the mountain.
- What? - You carried him?
Yes. I carried him on my back and went down the mountain.
- Why? - Even if he's a big boy,
he always says he's got a headache and a stomachache.
I don't know if it's an excuse or if he's really sick.
Whenever that happens, my wife gets him out of school...
and takes him to school.
He always says I am too soft with my son.
But I was never soft with him.
He does everything well by himself.
Since he was 7 or 8 months old, I started running a study room.
So he often had to fix a meal for himself.
He sometimes fixed a meal for me.
He's a good boy. But my husband doesn't consider any of that.
One time, I bought him a bike.
I guess his friends bought 700-dollar bikes.
He said he wanted one too, and my wife secretly bought him one.
- But he already had one. - Right. He already had one.
After a little while, he asked for an even more expensive one.
It cost about 1,200 to 1,300 dollars.
(She bought him another bike that costs 1,200 to 1,300 dollars.)
- Really? - She bought him another one.
But they hid it from me.
When my son was...
in elementary school,
he didn't have many friends.
When he entered the first year of middle school,
he got friends for the first time.
And they loved riding a bike.
It's fine to buy him a bike,
but isn't a 1,200-dollar bike over the line at that age?
It's expensive. It was so expensive...
that we were discussing it. And it turned out he had savings.
He had saved money he got from relatives.
He used that money to buy it.
(He made the decision to buy.)
When the parents fight,
it's very hard for the child.
Have you never strongly ask your husband to give you...
full authority over your son?
(Has she never insisted on her education principles?)
I started a business,
but it didn't go well. And I lost the confidence.
- You lost the confidence. - I should've done something well...
- to confidently say... - Then you'd assert yourself.
Did you incur debts?
Yes. A lot of debts in fact.
Can we ask how much still remain?
- Still a lot. - A lot.
I had the debts of hundreds of thousands of dollars...
when I was closing down my business.
(She incurred hundreds of thousands of dollars of debts.)
Is your husband working...
- to pay it back? - Yes. He's helping me a lot.
He's working hard all the time.
Paying back the debts must've been really tough.
It would've been fine if I knew about it.
There were some debts that I didn't know about.
But it already happened, so what can I do?
(What's the point of regretting when it already happened?)
We are just trying hard to pay it back.
(He's working hard.)
(He's actually very thoughtful husband.)
What's the thing that worries you the most?
I want him to do what he wants to do...
and achieve his dream. That worries me the most.
I am worried that they will misunderstand each other...
and stop talking.
They are really good people.
I want their son to know this.
I want him to understand his father's background.
His brother only studied, and he only farmed.
It's not like he's got a fixed idea.
He's been supporting...
- his son's dream. - Yes.
(Regardless of his feelings, he's been very supportive.)
For two years, did your dad support your dream...
of becoming a singer or not?
He supported me.
But did you repay him for it or not?
It's fine if you worked hard.
But did you or did you not work hard?
I was lazy.
Right? Then to gain his trust back and to repay him,
shouldn't you do what he wants you to do for two years?
You've only done it for two weeks. What do you think?
If my parents supported my dream...
when I was young,
like you and your husband did...
- I... - Right.
I went through so many tough things.
I got scars that I didn't need to get.
Do you know what I mean?
I envy him for having such parents.
I envy him for having a mom who cares about him when he gets sick.
(She sympathizes with him about the smallest pain.)
Based on his way of thinking, his father didn't want...
to support his son becoming a singer,
but he supported him nevertheless because his son wants to do it.
I am so grateful for his patience.
What upsets me is the son's face.
He doesn't even smile to such amazing parents.
That's why he can't talk with his father.
If I had such loving parents,
I would do anything. Seriously.
I would even do the tightrope walking.
He's got a weak will.
- I am sorry. It's tough. - You have to endure it.
But this is...
Why are you crying?
(He got busted while crying.)
- You were talking so sincerely. - Why did you cry?
Were you too touched?
Yes. Your story really touched me.
It's just that I envy him, and I feel upset.
I envy him for the love he's getting from them.
As someone who has been through it, you'd know.
Not practicing every day at that age...
- doesn't ruin you, does it? - It doesn't.
- That's not it, right? - Right.
If you have your own style...
and if you have passion,
if you just keep working towards it, you will achieve it.
I wanted to go to an art high school,
but I ended up going to a regular high school.
I was glad that I didn't go to an art high school.
It made me gain a broader view of the world.
(It makes you view the world with a wider perspective.)
Why don't we set a term?
You must've realized many things. Why do you think now?
I agree that two weeks is too short.
(Did he change his mind?)
I think I will be able to...
- give it a try for a semester. - Well done.
- All right. - Isn't that amazing, sir?
He's willing to endure a semester.
I think he must stay in there at least for a year.
(He's stubborn.)
(It's not easy for them to reconcile.)
Your son said he could stay there for one semester.
- Why don't you watch how it goes... - Exactly.
- and talk to him again after that? - Right.
And if you talk to him more often,
he could realize things by himself and change his mind.
Sir, will you promise to see how it goes for now...
and discuss with him again?
(Will he agree to discuss it again after one semester?)
I'll see how things go for the next six months for now.
All right.
I'll see how things go for the next six months for now.
(Relieved)
(We hope you communicate with each other more often.)
(Celebrating timidly)
Please say a word to your husband.
Honey, I am very grateful towards you.
Thank you for understanding me from my side...
when everyone else doesn't understand me.
Our son Seong Joon still has a lot to improve,
but he could become a famous person...
who counsel other people on a TV show like this.
Let's be more patient and wait a little longer.
- I love you. - That's great.
Now let's hear from her husband.
I know you've been going through a lot.
Thank you for living each day with so much enthusiasm.
And as for my son...
Look him in the eye and tell him how much you love him.
Tell him only that.
I'm worried because he seems to lack will power,
not because he didn't get good grades.
That's why I insist that he should stay in the dormitory.
Sir, please just tell him how much you love him and nothing else.
- Your son... - I love you, Son.
(The words he has been keeping in his heart)
Seong Joon, give him a hug.
Seong Joon, give your father a hug. That's good.
Let's start with P.O.
Please don't think it's a serious problem.
I hope you talk to each other more often from now on.
It must be hard for you all, but after you get through this time,
you'll recover your relationship. I'm glad you came on the show.
I don't think it's a worry either.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

I'll read it right now.
"I'm Getting Bigger and Bigger".
Hello.
(It made their heart flutter.)
Who are you?
I am a teenage girl who is tired of eating.
"Oh, my. That jjajangmyeon on TV..."
"looks so delicious. Daughter, shall we eat jjajangmyeon?"
"What? It hasn't even been an hour since we ate breakfast."
"Don't be silly. Jjajangmyeon is a snack."
"Since jjajangmyeon is a bit greasy, how about we eat..."
"sundae soup for lunch? And for dinner..."
(He's happy thinking about the dinner.)
My dad, who thinks about food all day long every day,
has five meals a day...
and eats a lot at once.
The hardest thing...
"Everyone, wake up."
"Dad, it's Sunday. Can't we sleep a little longer?"
"No. No. Do you know why?"
"I'm hungry. Let's eat now."
Whether it's a weekday or a weekend, at 7am,
all the family members must gather to eat together.
And for breakfast, we eat...
- pork belly, - It sounds delicious.
chicken soup, japchae, ribs, gimbap, and Vietnamese rice paper roll.
They're all too heavy for breakfast.
What's worse is that...
as soon as my dad finishes his meal...
(Snoring)
(He's sleeping deeply.)
He must be happy.
"Dad, are you sleeping again?"
"Yes? All right. What shall we eat now?"
It sounds like a fairy tale.
My dad doesn't realize how serious the situation is.
Please stop him.
(Please stop my dad from overeating.)
Sa Yeon, you've eaten pork belly for breakfast, right?
I like eating meat for breakfast.
What do you think about this story?
To be honest, it made me feel a little happy.
- Of course. - Is it something to worry about?
But he forces his family to eat with him.
- I think we should hear more. - All right. Let's bring her out.
Please come out.
(Who is worried about her dad who eats 5 meals a day?)
She must be happy to see P.O and B-Bomb.
(Lee Da Young)
(P.O and B-Bomb escort her.)
I think she can eat some more.
- She can eat more. - Take off your shoes and sit here.
You didn't listen to your daddy.
How much does your father eat to make you come on the show?
My dad eats five meals a day.
He has breakfast between 6am and 7am.
- He eats breakfast early. - And...
Since he gets hungry before lunch, he eats snacks...
such as cookies and drinks.
For lunch, he eats what my mom cooks for him...
or eats out.
Between 3pm and 5pm,
he orders delivery food like a hamburger or jjajangmyeon.
For dinner, if my mom cooks for our family,
we all eat together at home.
While watching TV, he says he's craving a night snack.
He orders fried chicken or asks my mom to make spicy noodle.
What's your father's size?
- My dad is 171cm tall, - I see.
but he weighs a little over 90kg.
He also has a big belly.
It would be weird if he doesn't considering how much he eats.
(He hides his big belly under a dark color sweater.)
However, my dad...
likes to eat with all the family members.
- Because you're a family? - Yes. He says...
we all must eat together, so we always eat together.
(It can be annoying if he does it every day.)
You look quite thin for someone who eats five meals a day.
- You eat with him almost every day. - Yes.
- But you don't look fat. - I know.
If I don't refrain myself, I can eat all day long.
But because I ate like that, when I was in elementary school,
I was diagnosed as overweight...
and hyperlipidemia.
Hyperlipidemia in elementary school?
It was a serious problem, so I exercised a lot.
My mom used to be very skinny.
She never weighed over 50kg.
But she ate night snacks with my dad lately,
and so she gained a lot of weight.
My younger sister is getting weigh as well.
- Because they eat with your dad. - Yes.
Her younger sister is plump.
(Her family members are gaining weight.)
Do you eat heavy food like chicken soup and ribs...
for breakfast every day?
Yes, we do. I thought...
that other kids ate pork belly, gimbap,
or Vietnamese rice paper roll for breakfast just like we do.
I thought they ate it for breakfast too.
Oh, you thought other families ate such food for breakfast?
- You could think that way. - But my friends say they don't.
Of course, they don't.
Who has a feast in the morning?
- You thought other people did too? - Yes. But...
Let's see the photos of her family's breakfast.
It looks nice.
- That's... - Braised short ribs with kimchi.
- Stir-fried spicy pork. - It's not good for breakfast.
- It looks delicious. - Right.
That's boiled pork.
Boiled pork is also a dish for dinner.
(It looks delicious.)
- It looks good. - Her mom...
- must be a great cook. - Seasoned meat.
Cockles.
- You eat gimbap for breakfast? - Yes.
- She made it by herself. - She made it in the morning?
She didn't make it the night before.
(They're mesmerized by the photos.)
- That's awesome. - I'm jealous.
- Oh, my. I'm jealous of you. - I want to...
- I'm jealous too. - I want to be invited to a meal.
Having a hearty breakfast is a good thing.
It's actually not. It's because...
I want to get some more sleep. On weekends or during school breaks,
we have to wake up at 7am as my dad should go to work.
During weekends and school breaks?
- Oh, no. - I want to oversleep sometimes.
(I want to oversleep sometimes.)
We're going to hear her out later,
but I think her mom, who makes all the dishes...
every morning, is really amazing.
She changes the menu every day that suits everyone's preferences.
It must be hard when it's hard to even get up early to eat it.
To be honest, my mom looks tired...
- Is she a full-time housewife? - No, she isn't.
- She's not? - My mom...
- No way. - has a job.
My dad comes up with a menu for breakfast next morning.
- "Let's eat this tomorrow morning." - Your dad plan the menu too?
"Let's eat this for lunch and this for dinner."
When he sees healthy food like fish or vegetables,
he complains about it.
And while lying down, he asks my mom...
if she's done the cooking and says he's hungry.
"Honey, is it done yet?"
"I feel like my stomach is touching my back."
- Oh, dear. - I took a glance at him.
I don't think his stomach will ever touch his back.
That's right. That can never happen.
Never. Let's meet with her father. Hello.
- Hello. - His belly.
- Hello. - The camera caught his belly first.
He's cute.
He's sitting straight...
- to look thin. - You can show your belly.
Your daughter is here to talk about her concerns.
How do you think about her concerns?
I don't think it's a worry.
I believe that eating well is very important.
Da Young may think I eat 5 meals, but I actually eat 3 meals a day.
Jjajangmyeon, deep-fried food, dumplings, ramyeon, and gimbap...
- They're snacks? - are just snacks. Exactly.
- Those are snacks. - I understand you.
However, sir, your daughter thinks...
food like pork belly is too heavy for breakfast.
You need a hearty breakfast...
so you can start your day energetically.
That's true.
- Yes. That's why... - You should eat less for dinner.
- Breakfast is important. - You should eat hearty breakfast.
Yes. That's right. Since I believe...
that breakfast is important, I try to eat well in the morning.
(But I hate it.)
However, must all of your family members eat together?
I think it's only natural for a family.
A family must eat together.
I don't think we're family if we don't eat together.
Do you talk to your family more than you do at other times?
Yes. Since we both have a job,
and our children go to school,
we can gather only in the morning.
I can tell if something happened by looking at her face.
As for our second daughter,
I ask her if she did well in the exam.
She doesn't study hard.
- So I... - You didn't have to say that.
I think your father is making an effort for the family.
He gathers everyone to have a conversation, not just to eat.
But my dad eats really quickly.
He finishes eating in 5 or 7 minutes...
and goes to the sofa.
He doesn't stay and converse with the family.
Why do you lie down on the sofa?
I find it comfortable to lie down.
- Of course, you do. - That's right.
- It's not just you. - Seriously.
He watches TV and falls asleep.
It sounds like he sleeps a lot.
It was in the worry we read, too.
When Dad lies down,
he doesn't do it alone.
- "Da Young, come and lie down." - He wants to lie down together.
- He wants you to lie down, too. - Yes.
I am comfortable when I lie down.
It would be nice if Da Young is comfortable as well.
His favorite activities are lying down and eating.
He likes those activities.
(Desire to eat and sleep controls his body.)
Let's talk to Da Young's sister.
- Hello. - All right.
- Hello. - How cute!
(It's nice to meet you.)
What do you think about...
Da Young's worry?
Da Young doesn't eat a lot.
She only eats a tiny amount of food.
It's an eyesore.
- It's understandable. - She doesn't want to see that.
It's annoying when the other person doesn't eat much...
- Right. - during the meal.
When Dad asks her to eat something,
she refuses flatly. If I do the same,
Dad would be sad.
- You consider your dad. - Yes.
You eat a lot of snacks.
Is there a reason why you do that?
Since November last year,
I have quit drinking and smoking.
- That's why... - He gets cravings.
I get cravings.
I seek out replacements.
I don't know why it's her worry.
(It's upsetting.)
We can only imagine...
how hard it must be on Da Young's mother.
Let's talk to her right away.
(Every breakfast is a feast.)
Hello.
(I make all those dishes.)
You prepare dishes...
pork belly, japchae, and galbi.
Isn't it taxing?
I realized that he gets greedy about food.
He has to have breakfast.
When he is hungry,
he gets very sensitive.
- Your husband is like that. - Yes.
When his stomach is full, he becomes generous.
So...
in order to live comfortably,
I began to cook the dishes he wants.
It's like, "Eat this and get lost."
- "Eat this." - She is wise.
He eats with gusto.
He says, "It's so tasty!"
Then you become proud.
- Yes. He eats with gusto. - He is perfect.
He is very cute, too.
He talks in a cute way.
- That's what he does. - Would you show us?
- What does he do? - Show us your cuteness.
- That's right. - Hurry up.
Say, "Honey, I don't want to eat."
I can't eat this, Honey.
No, you have to eat.
- Do you want to starve to death? - He's cute.
- He's cute. - He's cute.
(He has unexpected charms.)
He is a cute man.
He is cute.
- He does it to survive. - That's right.
(Such is life.)
You work, too.
- Yes. - When do you cook?
I come home after work at 10pm.
- 10pm? - Yes.
My husband waits for me...
to eat a late-night snack.
Then we prepare and eat a simple late-night snack.
I make soup the family can eat the next day...
before I go to bed.
I usually go to bed around 11:30pm or 12am...
and wake up at 6am.
By 7am, the entire family sits at the table and eats breakfast.
At 8am, my children go to school and my husband goes to work.
Since I can't come home for dinner,
I prepare dishes the family can eat.
- You prepare dinner before work. - Yes.
I put the dishes in the refrigerator.
- She is incredible. - Seriously.
Then I go to work.
I don't get a break during that time,
so I skip lunch.
You don't get time for lunch.
From 2pm to 10pm, I teach classes back to back.
When I come home at 10pm,
my husband is waiting for a late-night snack.
So you prepare breakfast for the next day...
before you go to bed.
If he wants to eat japchae...
or gimbap,
I prepare the ingredients ahead of time so I can make it right away.
Since galbi takes longer,
I cook during the weekend to clean and season the meat.
I always have ox bones...
- in the refrigerator. - Her husband must be so happy.
- I cook them on the weekend. - You are so diligent.
Aren't you exhausted? Are you happy?
Please be honest.
(She said everything so nonchalantly.)
I do get exhausted from time to time.
(She is being honest.)
Please elaborate.
(He latches on.)
- I was tired... - What is exhausting?
on the weekend, when I wake up at 7am to cook.
I set the table and clean up about five times.
(She sets the table and cleans up 5 times in a single day.)
(It's unbelievable.)
(She doesn't deserve that.)
When evening comes,
I sometimes think, "What am I doing?"
- But I don't think that often. - Seriously.
You are exhausted.
Every weekend is like the holiday season for you.
Seriously.
There were times when I got exhausted.
(Why is it so hard to eat meals?)
If you prepare different dishes every day,
how much do you spend on food?
- I am curious. - I bet you spend a lot of money.
The total is about 2,000 dollars.
- In a month? - 2,000 dollars for 4 people.
- Yes. I want to spend less. - In a month?
- That's just for food. - That's a lot.
My family loves to travel,
so we decided to go to Vietnam.
I showed them tourist attractions and photo spots.
My dad suddenly went,
"Look up information on good restaurants instead."
He doesn't care about tourist attractions.
We couldn't go to those places.
You only went to good restaurants.
We only went to places that are close to the restaurants.
The charm of camping or traveling...
- lies in food. Food is the best. - Right.
I am sure everyone agrees.
- Half the audience did this. - Because they are good places.
(She doesn't stop nodding.)
I don't get people who go to the mountain.
You have to climb down anyway.
Isn't it better to spend that time on eating tasty food?
Thus, I make food the priority.
But he worries about what to eat next...
- as he eats. - He just thinks about food.
I only have memories...
- about food. - That's right.
It's a bit excessive,
but I don't think it warrants sending a worry to Hello.
You seem to have a happy family.
(Well...)
This is a serious worry for me.
When I hang out with friends,
I sometimes end up having dinner with them.
- Right. - Whenever that happens,
Dad tells me to come home without having dinner...
because I need to have dinner with the family.
(He is a dictator when it comes to food.)
Also, he calls me continuously...
when I am with friends.
He calls me every hour. "What did you eat?"
- "What did you eat?" - It's not, "Where are you?"
- He asks, - Usually, it's,
- "What did you eat?" - "Where are you?"
- That's unbelievable. - But it's, "What did you eat?"
- He asks her what she ate. - "Was it delicious?"
He calls me every day at 12:30pm...
and asks me what I ate.
It's that question again.
He always asks that question.
Is he worried that people will eat tasty food without him?
Why does he ask that?
(I can't help but become curious.)
I can't lie...
because he installed...
- a tracking app... - What?
on our phones.
- On everyone's phone? - Yes.
- On your mom's phone as well? - Yes.
He can see us move...
on the map.
- Oh, my goodness. - We can't lie.
You are in high school.
- I am in 11th grade. - 11th grade.
In that case,
- Oh, my. - do you have a boyfriend?
I don't have a boyfriend now.
- Really? - Back in the days...
Why did you glance over at P.O?
I don't have a boyfriend now.
(Glancing over)
(She is ridiculous.)
Why did you...
It's not like P.O is your dad.
You saw her glance over at you, right?
Yes, I did.
- Anyone would be uncomfortable... - She is cute.
with a tracking app on their phone.
It would be a hassle if you were to go on a date.
Dad goes,
"Come home before the sun sets."
Before the sun sets?
(They bring back the other worry.)
He does it to his daughter.
"Come home before the sun sets."
(Stop it.)
"Come home before the sun sets."
(It's like a popular phrase of the day.)
It's for the safety of the children.
If I can't get a hold of them,
the tracking app would help me.
On weekdays, my wife can't eat with the family.
- They should do it on the weekend. - He is a family man.
It could be uncomfortable for your daughter.
- She is under surveillance. - Right.
You aren't communicating well...
with your daughter. The worry she sent us...
isn't simply about meals.
She finds it hard to make friends because of you,
but you are unaware.
We think you aren't listening to these issues.
What do you think?
Now that I have quit smoking,
I transfer the money I would have used on cigarettes...
to Da Young's account with a message.
(What?)
"Da Young, you went to Seoul yesterday, right?"
I transfer the money to Da Young's account...
to that kind of messages instead of buying cigarettes.
As you know,
- it's hard to quit smoking. - It's hard.
It enters my mind in the morning.
Then I think about Da Young and transfer the money.
- It's a good method. - He loves her daughter.
I make sure I listen...
to my beloved daughters.
(The bankbook appears.)
You are rich.
"We are going to the Seoul Land."
"It will rain on Tuesday. Today is a photo day."
- "We are going to Grandma's place." - "We are going to Grandma's place."
"Babies are coming."
- He sent 100 dollars once. - "You have an upset stomach."
"A photo of Daecheong Lake".
Sir, this is very nice.
However, something like this should move...
the recipient.
But Da Young only pouted upon hearing your words.
You know,
perhaps you scratched her back when her knees are itchy.
This is something you are proud of.
This is your style.
(This isn't what Da Young wants.)
Every memory she has with her family involves food.
Da Young wants to try...
different things.
I am not here...
only for myself.
- Dad is in poor health. - My goodness.
You wouldn't realize this from looking at him,
but he has high blood pressure and diabetes.
He doesn't stop eating even as he takes medicines,
so I am worried.
I wish he would establish a healthy lifestyle.
How old is your dad?
He is 44 years old.
He is only 44 years old,
but he has diabetes and high blood pressure.
Da Young's worry is understandable.
You need to watch what you eat if you have diabetes.
Also, on the weekends,
I want to sleep...
until 9am.
(It's a small, but definite wish.)
- 9am. - 9am on the weekend?
You should sleep until 10am at least on the weekend.
You should sleep in on the weekend.
You should wake up when it's time for lunch.
- You should have brunch instead. - Brunch.
I wish he would stop calling...
when I am with my friends.
Please give her your answer.
Da Young, let's continue...
to understand each other...
and live happily.
I will tell myself that you are doing well...
and refrain from calling.
Also, I will try to eat less.
On the weekend, I will let you have your ways...
and prepare food by 9am.
- Then... - His wife is happy.
- What a twist. - "I will wake you up."
I will treat you to breakfast...
- on the weekend. - That's great.
- It's good news. - You must be happy.
(You know I love you, right?)
(A week later, he kept his promise.)
Let's start with P.O.
Da Young is worried about her dad's health,
so I think it's a worry.
- Sa Yeon. - What? Oh.
You need to focus on your work, okay?
"What?"
I thought it was nice to see...
a happy family.
I don't think it's a worry.
I think it's a happy worry.
However, as the head of the family,
I hope he would take care of his health.
I don't think it's a worry.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
