(National Competition on Worries)
Let me introduce you to our today's guests.
He's so busy working that 24 hours a day...
is not enough for him. Hwang Kwang Hee!
It's nice to meet you all.
(A cute pose)
(He's funny.)
The sentimental vocalist with a soft voice, Lee Seok Hoon!
- Lee Seok Hoon! - Lee Seok Hoon!
- Entertainer Oh Jung Yeon! - Oh Jung Yeon!
(Entertainer Oh Jung Yeon)
Naeun and Jinsol of April!
(Naeun and Jinsol of April)
(April is the best in April.)
- Kwang Hee, I'm disappointed. - Why?
You were discharged quite a long time ago.
But you came on our show after all the other shows.
That's not true. I wasn't invited to this show.
Oh, I see.
In fact, while I was in the military,
the others usually watched E-news shows...
or dramas, but I watched...
"Men on a Mission"... Gosh.
"Men on a Mission"?
- No. - Hello.
He said, "Hello, Men on a Mission".
I always watched Hello.
That's how much I like this show. I watched every episode.
Tell us about the episode you watched to confirm the truth.
- A memorable story. - Tell us.
I saw a husband...
who had a 3D printer.
He spent a lot of money on things like that.
- That's right. - He did watch our show.
And there was this person who never repays the money he owes.
That's a little ambiguous.
- There were many people like him. - Many people like him were here.
And a person who doesn't eat enough.
- That's right. - Most of our guests are like that.
It's hard to tell if he really watched our show.
- When you watched TV... - Yes?
in the military,
many soldiers must've been excited...
to see Yeong Ja since she's popular these days...
for her shows about food.
- Totally. - They must like idol singers.
She's even more popular than idol singers.
Yeong Ja is really popular.
Really? In the military?
Everyone got excited when watching her eating food.
They would cheer enthusiastically.
I thought they were watching a music show.
She's so popular.
I understand them. She must've reminded them of their mothers.
(Suddenly, the show turns into "The Stage for Soldiers".)
(Mom.)
Looking at Kwang Hee and Seok Hoon together,
they have very different images.
- Why? - Right.
Both of us are very handsome.
Seok Hoon, what do you think of him?
I believe that he's a true entertainer.
- Are you serious? - A true entertainer.
- He's right. - He works really hard.
He's also very optimistic.
He's known as the saving king among celebrities.
He got plastic surgery whenever he earned money.
He invested his money in his face.
That's right.
He never spends his money on anything else.
I don't have a housing subscription deposit account.
I spend all the money I earn on plastic surgery.
Is it all done now?
Yes. There's nothing else I can do now.
It's done.
By the way, I read an old news article.
Jung Yeon was the talk of the town.
She was ranked top...
- on the internet hit list. - That's right.
- She gained a lot of weight, - That's right.
which drew a lot of attention.
I didn't know that I gained that much weight.
I gained 11kg in 2 months.
- In two months? - Yes.
Did you lose some weight after that?
- What food did you eat? - Yeong Ja, touch me here.
- My goodness. - Gosh.
- Goodness, you. - You see...
It's just a bone.
- My goodness. Look. - A bone?
Compared to my weight when I gained 11kg,
I lost 5kg.
Naeun drew attention through her web drama.
Naeun is also a reporter...
- on an E-news show. - That's right.
And I heard that one of our guests...
is the star she always wanted to interview.
Yes. I'm a big fan of Seok Hoon.
- Really? - Yes.
- Think that this is an interview. - Okay.
Ask him a few questions.
Your son was born last year.
Could you tell us how you feel?
- He makes me happy every day. - She's good.
I heard that you released a new song recently.
Please tell us about your new song.
The title of the song is "What If".
- I see. - It's a breakup song.
Shall we listen to his song?
"What If".
("What If" by Lee Seok Hoon)
(The romantic voice that welcomes spring.)
(Heart fluttering)
(He mesmerizes everyone.)
Thank you.
Today, we have three stories as always.
Show us the keywords please.
(The keywords are revealed.)
- "Stop Touching Me". - "Stop Touching Me".
"Hardworking Boyfriend".
"The Man Who Quits".
It's always the title that sounds provocative.
If the title is "Stop Touching Me", it's about touching a sculpture,
a machine, or a book.
There were many cases like that.
Why do you think "Stop Touching Me" is provocative?
What did you imagine when you heard the title?
You all think about the same thing.
I can see what you're imagining.
(I'll keep an eye on you.)
"Stop Touching Me".
Hello. I'm a woman in my 30s, and I live in Jeju Island.
I didn't know I would send my story to Seoul...
because of such a worry like this.
I've been married for 17 years.
But my husband looks for me...
every night.
(What could be the reason?)
"Honey, come to bed now."
"I'll go to sleep now. Hurry up. Let's sleep together."
You must think that we're such a sweet couple.
But it drives me crazy.
"I'm not sleepy yet."
"Just lie down. Come on."
(Swallowing saliva)
"Just lie down with me."
He makes it sound too sexy.
Just read it without doing that.
- But... - Read it blandly, please.
- It sounds weird because of him. - Why?
He's so good at acting.
- Read it blandly. - Okay. I'll do it.
"Just lie down. You can just lie next to me."
"This is so nice."
"Now I can sleep in peace."
"It's so nice."
It's even weirder.
(There's no way to fix it.)
But then...
(Snoring)
- He fell asleep right away. - He fell asleep.
It's embarrassing to say this, but my husband...
(Her husband's habit is too embarrassing to say?)
He is like a three-year-old baby.
He can fall asleep only when he touches my breasts.
(He can fall asleep only when he touches my breasts.)
(My goodness.)
(Gosh.)
"Honey, I need to sleep now. Hurry up and come to bed."
"I can't go now. I have to do laundry."
"Just come here. Come on, honey."
- To fall asleep? - Even when I have things to do,
I have to lie down in the bed against my will...
whenever my husband goes to sleep.
He tries to touch me...
even in broad daylight too.
"Have you lost your mind? What if the kids see us?"
"What's wrong about that? And the kids aren't looking at us."
"Gosh. Go away already."
"Why would you get angry? Forget it. I won't do it!"
The door slams shut loudly.
I can't stand it anymore.
Please make my husband get rid of this bad habit.
(Please make my husband get rid of this bad habit.)
(It must be hard.)
- This is a very serious problem. - That's right.
- He's a little obsessive. - Yes.
He forces her to lie with him when she doesn't want to.
What is that?
(Speechless)
- Well... Seok Hoon. - Seok Hoon.
Yes?
He surely is a married man.
Only he was giggling.
What do you think about this story?
Physical touch...
is a beautiful thing for a married couple.
- It's important. - Absolutely.
And it's important.
However, it sounds like a habit,
not a romantic touch.
- Just to satisfy his needs. - Right.
She sent us her story because she's worried...
because his husband's sleeping habit.
Please come out.
(Who is worried because her husband's weird sleeping habit?)
(Paeng Ji Yoon)
Oh, no.
(Kwang Hee runs towards her hurriedly.)
(He does slapstick unintentionally.)
Can somebody help both of them?
Oh, she's wearing a dress.
Kwang Hee helps her.
He's a gentleman.
So your husband looks for you...
when he goes to sleep, right?
Yes. To put it bluntly,
it's not me that my husband looks for.
He looks for my breasts.
(He looks for my breasts.)
He calls me at midnight.
I lie down with him for a while until he falls asleep.
- Since we both have a job, - Do you?
Yes. I have to do my work after he falls asleep.
So I can't get enough sleep at night. I always feel tired.
That's not all.
He also puts his hand under my pajamas even in his sleep.
- Even in his sleep? - Yes.
It's his habit, right?
Yes. He does that sometimes.
- Put yourselves in her shoes. - Exactly.
What if your wife calls you whenever...
she goes to sleep?
My goodness.
(My goodness.)
- I mean... - I'm not even sleepy,
- You have to lie down... - but I have to...
- next to her. - lie down...
- doing nothing, which is torture. - That's right.
It's offensive towards a wife or a woman...
because a woman wants him to love her.
If she feels like he only needs something she has,
- it can hurt her pride. - That's right.
It's one of the reasons you came on this show, right?
That's right. He never shows his affection for me.
- Is that true? - He wants me only when he sleeps.
- Really? - Yes. He's such a blunt person.
He never replies to my texts.
- That's unexpected. - One time, we went on a trip...
with other couples in the hobby club we joined.
We all slept together in the living room.
But my husband put his hand on my breasts.
I was embarrassed to see the others.
- They were sleeping there too. - Yes.
- My goodness. - That's not cool.
Do your children know about this?
I think they noticed it.
- Of course. In fact, - I think they do.
I heard that it's good for children...
to grow up watching their parents...
making physical contact with affection.
It's helpful for emotional development.
They should accept it naturally.
- But in this case... - It's unilateral.
- It may seem weird to the kids. - Of course.
Let's meet her husband.
Hello.
(Who is the husband who bothers his wife whenever he goes to bed?)
Do you really need to touch your wife's breasts...
to fall asleep?
I think it's a habit.
I habitually touch her breasts,
and it helps me fall asleep peacefully.
When I was a little child, I used to sleep with my mother...
while touching her breasts.
Do you think you do it just as you did as a little child?
I, too, slept with my mother while touching her breasts...
when I was a little child.
But since I got my own room,
I had no one to sleep with.
And then I got married, and I have someone to sleep with.
If you had slept with someone, you would've touched that person.
(Only he enjoys his old memories and getting quality sleep.)
(You're not a little child.)
Whatever the reason you do it,
your wife hates it so much.
(He is tilting his head.)
I don't know why she hates it.
Do you really not know why she hates it?
She doesn't want it.
No. I have no idea.
Imagine that she keeps touching you...
when you don't want it.
- But I want her to touch me. - Right.
Whenever she wants?
When I come home after work, my daughter...
runs towards me and kisses me.
But my wife doesn't do anything like that.
Your wife doesn't show her affection for you?
That's right. And I think that's why I try to...
make physical contact with her at night.
Is there something about your wife...
that makes you feel upset?
In the early years of our marriage, when I tried to get close to her,
she kicked me,
and my tooth was broken.
- What? - In the early years of marriage?
(Couples are usually lovey-dovey in the early years of marriage.)
Last year,
I walked up to my wife when she was sitting on the sofa.
She kicked me again, and my glasses were broken.
- She kicks him a lot. - Because of these things,
I'm not even sure if my wife likes me.
- He's telling us a different story. - So...
- I know. - it might've hurt his feelings.
My wife hates the smell of cigarettes.
In order to get rid of bad smell of cigarettes,
I started smoking e-cigarettes with a good scent.
- You didn't quit smoking? - No.
I started smoking e-cigarettes.
- You made a great effort. - He's adorable.
She promised me she would let me touch her...
if I smoked e-cigarettes for a month.
But she didn't even let me near her.
So I think I'm the one who should be upset.
Since we both have a job,
we have a lot of house chores to do when we come home.
I was upset because he wants me...
only to fall asleep, and he never touches me otherwise.
That's why I got tough on him.
Instead of touching my breasts,
- I want him to hug me... - I see.
- or let me put my head on his arm. - Right.
He doesn't touch her in the way that she wants,
but he touches her just as he wants.
(That's not how you express your love.)
I would like to know...
how many chores you have to do when you come home after work.
I come home an hour earlier than my husband.
He wants me to prepare dinner before he comes home.
So I'm so busy.
He won't eat unless I make more than seven side dishes.
Seven side dishes?
(It's getting worse.)
(He is chuckling.)
- He won't eat. - Seven side dishes?
Who eats like that these days? Everyone eats simple meals.
- He's unbelievable. - They eat just gimbap...
with kimchi.
Do you start cooking without even changing your clothes?
I get changed after eating and cleaning up the table.
Then I make more side dishes.
Can't you eat the leftover food the next day?
He wants different food every day, and there must be meat always.
Kimchi doesn't even count as a side dish.
- He doesn't eat kimchi? - No.
- He acts like a king. - That's right.
Does he want soup as well?
Yes. He wants soup or stew.
- Always? - Yes.
If I make side dishes like seasoned vegetables,
he says, "Why did you make only side dishes like these?"
He even complains.
I'm so busy doing house chores,
but he looks for me at midnight when he wants to sleep.
- It must be so hectic. - Yes.
It must be hard.
My goodness.
- Really? - That's a meal for a king.
- Just like a gourmet restaurant. - Exactly.
It looks delicious.
(It shows how much effort she made.)
- They all look delicious. - I think she can run a restaurant.
(A feast)
- You make that much food every day? - Every day?
- In fact... - Oh, my.
- My goodness. - It's kimchi stew.
She must be a great cook.
She changes the menu every day.
And she makes big portions of them.
That's a meal that we prepare...
to show people around my house on a TV show.
That's a lot of food for a meal.
- Only when you're on a TV show. - Just for a TV show.
(Now you know seeing how everyone reacts, right?)
When you prepare a meal for him like this,
does he enjoy your food and thank you?
No. He complains about my food so much.
He must be taking it for granted.
- Then... - The food...
He wants his fried egg fully cooked.
Or else, he says, "Don't you know how I like it? Why did you do that?"
Then I get upset and say, "Eat it as it is just this once."
While we're arguing,
he once threw his chopsticks.
(My goodness.)
(He's impossible.)
He won't even cook ramyeon by himself.
He wants me to cook it for him.
He hates it when the noodles are firm.
- Does he complain about it? - Yes.
And he wants three side dishes to eat with ramyeon.
(He needs three side dishes.)
- What side dishes? - Kimchi is good enough.
- Of course. - Kimchi or pickled radish.
Do you need three side dishes to eat with ramyeon?
- Stir-fried spicy pork? - Fish cake,
- some meat, - He wants a fish cake?
and seasoned vegetables. I prefer meat if we have some.
- When you eat ramyeon? - Or else, the fish cake is fine.
He eats meat too when he eats ramyeon?
Then does your husband...
help you with house chores, by any chance?
He throws out the trash.
I thought she called him trash.
Right.
(It feels great.)
Do you eat like that every evening?
Yes.
- So it's true. - Why...
Why do you have to eat that much?
Why? Why? Why?
I don't eat dinner by myself.
Since the whole family eats together, it's good to eat well.
Do you always need 7 side dishes? Aren't 4 side dishes enough?
(Four side dishes sound enough.)
Aren't four side dishes too little?
I don't like the number four.
There's stir-fried spicy pork, okay?
What else do you like? Tell us four of your favorite dishes.
- Meat, fish tofu, - Fish tofu.
- and seasoned dried squid. - Seasoned dried squid.
- Seasoned dried squid? - And kimchi...
And soup. Five dishes should be enough.
Kimchi is not a side dish.
- Why? - You make enough kimchi...
to eat for a few months.
I don't think it's a dish. It's just on option.
(He is smiling.)
(What did he just say?)
(What he said must have made all our ancestors furious.)
An option?
(They can't believe their ears.)
- It's not that he makes kimchi. - What options...
are there when we're talking about his meals?
(She is shaking her head.)
Even if she agrees to make that much of food...
to make the family united,
you could at least do the dishes.
The kitchen is not my area.
It's my wife's area.
(He's incredibly unbelievable.)
(They are lost for words.)
(I hate him even more because he's dignified.)
(Did you come from Joseon dynasty?)
(He gives me a headache.)
So do you never go into the kitchen?
I barely go to the kitchen.
- Is that true? - Yes.
Why?
Does it hurt your pride? "Gosh. I'm in the kitchen."
Do you feel like that?
(He is smiling.)
(I can't believe he's smiling.)
I believe that it's wrong of you...
to throw your chopsticks or get angry...
just because you're not satisfied with some things.
She made something that I hate,
so I said I wouldn't eat it.
My wife said, "Don't eat it."
She swore at me.
(What is going on?)
(When she told us the story,)
(she talked calmly and quietly...)
(about what her husband did wrong.)
(It turns out she left out the facts that are disadvantageous for her.)
She said even harsher swear words.
- So I lost my temper. - My goodness.
I guess she swears at him as he's physically weaker than him.
My goodness.
- It's her last resort. - Oh, my.
Hang on a second.
I can't believe this, ma'am. Is what he said true?
Because his egg wasn't fully cooked,
we started arguing,
and I swore at him.
- The situation got worse. - That's right. In the end,
he flipped the table.
(She reveals his wrongdoing.)
Like in a drama?
Yes. He knows that other people don't prepare meals as I do.
I thought he was being picky to upset me and got angry.
Since I was a little child,
my mother cooked my egg thoroughly.
I got used to it.
So I can't eat eggs if they're slightly undercooked.
I think she should not cook at all...
if she is going to cook like that.
(Warning for anger trigger)
You could have cooked it...
- a little longer on a frying pan... - What does he want her to do?
by yourself.
Kitchen work is my wife's duty.
- Then buy your own portable stove. - So...
can't you fry your own egg using a portable stove in the living room?
- I think... - Not in the kitchen. Okay?
We don't have a portable stove at home.
(No wonder she loses her temper.)
Don't your children have a problem with that?
- Can't they tell you about it? - Of course, they do.
The kids have similar food preferences to mine.
But we all have to cater to my husband's taste.
We eat what he wants to eat when we eat out.
Even if...
we eat something we like,
he says, "Why must we eat this when it tastes bad?"
- He keeps complaining. - He makes all of you uncomfortable.
Considering what you told us,
your children seem very healthy for the situation they're in.
(Healthy and strong)
- I agree. - Yes.
- She makes seven side dishes. - He makes them uncomfortable...
- They're your children, right? - Yes.
Hi.
- Hello. - Oh, my.
You have seven side dishes for dinner every day...
including a meat dish. You must be happy.
I'm happy, and her food is delicious.
But my dad always says there aren't enough foods on the table...
and complains about her food.
Whenever he complains, I think that my mom must be stressed out.
I see.
- But her food is good, right? - Yes, it's delicious.
- Can we talk to their son? - Their son.
- Oh, my. - Is your mom a good cook?
- Yes. - She's a good cook.
Haven't you ever thought that it could be hard for your mom?
No.
Sir, you heard what he said, right?
My goodness.
What do you want to eat the most when your family dines out?
- Fried chicken. - Fried chicken?
Have you ever asked your dad to buy you fried chicken?
- No. - Why not?
I didn't want to be scolded by him.
Has he ever scolded you because you said you were craving fried chicken?
- Yes, he has. - What did he say?
He told me not to eat fried chicken.
He told you not to eat fried chicken?
- No dad tells his kid such a thing. - Exactly.
Which one of your parents do you think is more stressed out?
I feel bad for my dad too.
My mom goes out for a drink...
once or twice a week.
Mom comes home after 1am.
But she makes sure Dad comes home before midnight.
(Their daughter shares an unexpected fact.)
So...
- It's a new phase. - I think it's unfair.
We're getting to know more.
I think it's unfair.
I call her around midnight.
But when I wake up around 3 or 4am,
she is still not home.
Every time she goes out, she comes home really late.
Even when I have a team dinner,
my wife makes me come home before midnight.
If I don't, she swears on the phone...
or calls my friends...
and ask them to send me home.
Around when I finish work, she keeps calling me.
Every 30 minutes or an hour.
The thing is, my husband can't drink a lot.
He went missing a few times.
Once, he fell asleep and got locked up in a bar.
I'm worried about him.
- There have been accidents. - He can't stand alcohol.
The reason why I call him around when he finishes work is...
because he insists on eating as soon as he comes home.
To warm up the soup in time,
I have to keep asking him, "Where are you now?"
That's why.
He always says, "I'm almost home."
So I have to keep calling him.
She had her reasons.
It seems like they keep fighting over such trivial things.
- It's a shame. - Exactly.
Do you guys fight often? How are you guys?
- Be honest. - We bicker all the time.
As soon as he finishes eating, he lies down...
and plays games.
Even if I suggest we drink some beer together...
I want to talk to him,
but he keeps playing games...
- or does something. - With his phone?
Yes.
(We don't talk.)
There's something you should realize.
The conversation is nothing special.
You start from talking about trivial things.
- That's right. - That's how you communicate.
(Mom and Dad, please change.)
Someone very close to them is here today.
Let's hear from him.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Did you know...
her husband's habits were giving her a hard time?
Once, I had a meal at their place.
Even during the meal, she keeps going...
to the kitchen.
She keeps serving more food.
She talks a bit with us and then goes back into the kitchen.
When his wife is like that,
shouldn't he be nicer to her?
You're right.
How does their relationship seem to you?
You're a third party.
They have six years' age difference.
But she starts a conversation by saying...
"Hey, Ko Kyung Nam!"
"Will you hurry up?" She talks like that.
- To her husband? - Yes.
- She does? - Yes.
Last Wednesday, I ate at their place again.
You go there often.
You never eat at home?
I...
The food is so good at their place.
The food is good?
He said the food is good there.
- The food is good? - The food is good?
- Does she make good food? - Yes.
(I do make good food.)
When we were almost done eating,
their son...
was getting sleepy and started whining.
So I tried to put him to sleep.
Then I heard the couple fighting in the living room.
Kyung Nam doesn't... What's that word?
- "Insult"? - "Insult"?
(Insult)
"Insult".
It's "insult".
He doesn't insult his wife.
He doesn't swear or anything.
"Why do you have to do that?" That's all.
But his wife...
(His wife swears.)
- Unbelievable. - I heard it clearly.
She talks...
- in a rough way. - Very rough.
I really don't understand.
"Ko Kyung Nam, you want to eat what?" And then she cooks.
"You want more? Gosh."
And then she cooks more.
She swears, but she cooks everything he wants.
- That's right. - "Come here and lie down."
"Gosh." And then she lies down.
I mean...
(She does everything her husband wants.)
Seriously.
(That's accurate.)
After talking in such a rough way...
- They obviously love each other. - They love each other a lot.
It seems like...
she is not usually like this.
She's been talking to us so quietly...
that we've had to lean towards her. My shoulder is aching.
You've been so quiet.
When you swear, do you speak loudly?
Yes, I speak fast too.
- Is that... - I was a bit like that before too,
but I became more aggressive while raising our kids.
I got married very early.
You're still in your 30s.
- In your early 20s... - I had my first child then.
It was very stressful.
It affects my kids too.
I feel bad about it.
Does she swear to you guys...
as she does to your dad?
Yes,
especially towards me.
I was watching TV in the living room,
and Mom suddenly told me to bug off to my room.
She told me to get out of her sight.
Instead of saying, "Why are you always watching TV",
- she told you to bug off? - She told me to bug off.
She must be the most concerned one.
When my parents had a fight,
- my sister cried. - Of course.
As her older brother, I tried to comfort her.
But on the inside, I was scared too.
I want to know how their daughter feel...
when her parents have a fight.
I've seen them fight a lot.
It's hard for me.
- Of course. - Because...
I'm the one who tries to reconcile them.
- I'm afraid they'll get a divorce. - Right.
- That's what scares me the most. - That's the scariest thing.
(Their kids feel uncomfortable between their parents.)
I know it's bad to fight.
My daughter sometimes cries in her room.
I've heard it.
But during a fight,
I can't really think about my daughter.
Their daughter pretends to be okay,
but she must feel anxious all the time.
Think about how it'll affect her when she grows up.
(Shouldn't you two change?)
It'll probably take time.
But tell him how you want him to change calmly.
Don't get angry. Just speak loudly.
(Tell him what you want.)
Seriously.
(I want you guys to smile.)
I want you to speak to me in a kinder way.
When you touch me, please do it the way I like.
Put your arm around my shoulder, hold my hand,
and let me sleep on your arm.
Instead of touching my breasts.
When I cook for you,
please say it tastes good.
- Please don't complain too much. - It's not much to ask.
It's not much at all.
I love you.
She still loves him.
(He is smiling.)
She still loves him a lot.
It's not much to ask, is it?
I'll try to express my appreciation more,
but the food is not just for myself.
- For our kids... - No.
Let's say the kids agree.
Can you...
Let's say the kids are okay with just four side dishes.
Don't ask your daughter for help.
I still think we need many side dishes.
(Have you been even listening?)
This is why they can't stop fighting.
Let's say she'll make many side dishes.
- You should stop complaining. - She will?
- I'll stop complaining. - Side dishes are so important?
I'll say her food tastes good more often.
I'm trying to understand...
why he became like this.
Why he became like this?
I think he's trying to...
maintain his position.
Why is he so obsessed with the number of side dishes?
"You swore? Fine."
"I'll stop going into the kitchen."
"But you have to be next to me when I fall asleep."
"If you keep doing that, I'll keep doing this."
It's a vicious circle.
- That's right. - You have to remember...
this is doing harm to your kids.
- You're being really stupid... - I...
in my opinion.
(It's time to change.)
I'll...
stop complaining about your food...
and appreciate it more.
What about the number of side dishes?
I promise.
You can decide on...
- the number of side dishes. - She can decide?
(She doesn't have to make seven side dishes anymore.)
Also,
try to fall asleep alone.
Just touch your own chest.
Seriously.
It's too selfish and weird.
- Of course. - We still have...
many years to live together.
Let's make them good ones.
I love you beyond words.
All right.
(Express your love while respecting the other.)
Is it a worry or not?
I don't think it is.
I can see how much they love each other.
They're still like school kids.
They're so in love.
Sir, please leave her alone.
Ma'am, please stop swearing.
- "Sir". - "Ma'am".
I don't think it's a worry.
Their daughter is so smart.
I think she'll be their bridge.
I hope you'll work it out through conversations.
If you think it's a worry in her perspective,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up.
Please show us the result.
"Stop Touching Me".
He will stop touching her.
(The last digit is 7.)
Out of 200...
(What's the result?)
47, 57...
It's 117.

"Hardworking Boyfriend".
There's a boyfriend. Who can help?
(Who wants to be the boyfriend?)
What?
Kwang Hee.
Please come here.
It's from a woman in her 20s.
Hello, I'm a 29-year-old woman.
It's time for me to start considering getting married.
My boyfriend is a year older than me...
and is very competent.
"Honey, are you busy?"
"I am having a meeting about sports broadcasting."
My gosh. What's that acting?
Why?
Try speaking with a nice low voice.
"You didn't forget about our appointment, right?"
"What do we do?"
(What do we do with him?)
"I have to work on my thesis."
"I have to work out too."
"How about tomorrow then?"
"I have to consult a high school student."
"I am sorry. You can understand, right?"
My boyfriend is...
a sports commentator, student, career counselor,
- and a fit man. - My goodness.
My boyfriend is too overly passionate.
He's too passionate.
I am busy working as a flight attendant too.
But I always have to beg my boyfriend...
to meet him.
Even when we finally meet...
"Why don't we go on a cafe date?"
"Help me prepare my thesis."
"Honey, don't you think you are too inconsiderate?"
"This is our date."
(Phone rings.)
"Excuse me. Hello?"
"I'll be right there. What should I do?"
"I have a company meeting."
"Hang up and then talk to me."
"I will come back in three hours. You can understand, right?"
He just keeps asking for my understanding.
"I know we are supposed to get married this year."
"But let's postpone it five years."
(They are terrified.)
"You can understand, right?"
I don't think I can understand him now.
Please stop my boyfriend from being obsessed...
- with work. - He's a workaholic.
How would you feel if your boyfriend was like that?
- You like him so much. - Naeun? Jinsol?
When you are in a relationship, you are in it together.
So I'd feel really sad.
What surprised me the most is that...
he didn't ask her to postpone the marriage for one year...
- but for five years. - Five years.
- Five years is too long. - Let's bring her in.
Right. Please come on out.
(Who is worried about her boyfriend who is addicted to work?)
(Jo Hye Ji)
(The guest is landing shortly.)
(She successfully landed.)
- Welcome. - Hello.
She will land here.
- She's beautiful. - Fasten your seatbelt.
Yes.
Please do it for us.
Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelt.
She is really a flight attendant. She is.
What exactly does your boyfriend do?
He is a sports commentator.
But he's got many other jobs too.
On Mondays and Tuesdays, he's taking a Ph.D. course.
So he studies at school.
From Thursday to Sunday, he travels everywhere in the nation...
to give a commentary.
He only has one day of rest, Wednesday. But even on that day,
he works out with a trainer and does career-counseling.
He does many other things.
He's really busy.
- He has about 4 jobs. - 4 jobs.
Yes. This is his daily schedule.
He gets up around 6am.
He goes to bed around 12, 1am.
He doesn't have time to see me.
- He doesn't have time. - He doesn't.
Did you apply to be here to meet him for a few hours?
- To spend time together? - Right.
- You will get to see him well. - By the way...
Congratulations. You can see him as much as you want.
(Don't go anywhere and listen to my story.)
These days, people are worried...
about not being able to find a job.
Isn't it much better than not working?
In the beginning, I thought it was cool.
He had faith in his work, and he was passionate.
But later on, being a flight attendant,
I am very busy too. But I had to...
understand his situation all the time, and I felt bad.
You are busy too.
Does he not work around your schedule?
No. He prioritizes work over me.
It was unbelievable when we first met.
It was our first date, but he asked to meet in the early morning.
I had time all day.
But he said he was only available at 3:30am.
- What? - 3:30am?
Is there somewhere to meet at that hour?
- So we watched a night movie. - Noryangjin Fish Market?
- A night movie. - At 3am.
Is it easy to contact him?
He always goes out of reach at night.
- Always? - At night?
He puts his phone on silent and sleeps.
When I am in a hurry, I call him 100 times.
It's like I am not his girlfriend.
I feel like his manager.
When he goes to school,
I wait until his class finishes.
I always wait for him at a cafe for 3 to 4 hours.
When he goes to a province to work,
the film crew... My car is red.
- They all recognize it. - They all recognize my car.
- What do they say? - It's got a nickname.
"The Scary Red Car".
Why scary?
Wherever they go, they see the red car.
- They think... - They might misunderstand you.
They might think you are watching him.
What did you do for him?
We were going to go to Australia.
But my boyfriend didn't have time.
So we went on a 1-night-and-2-days...
- To Australia? - trip.
- To Australia? - You know the flying time.
- To Australia? - 1-night-and-2-days?
You had to fly there and fly back right away.
1 night and 2 days are too short even for Gapyeong.
- My goodness. - She must've wanted to go so badly.
- That's why she didn't cancel it. - I really wanted to go on a trip.
We heard many stories now.
I think you can just break up with him.
Why would you go on a one-day trip to Australia?
You help with this thesis.
Just break up with him and meet someone else.
There are people who think like Kwang Hee.
It's not like they're getting married or they have a child.
- Right. - Right.
We broke up many times.
I dated many guys who are not busy.
- But? - But there was nobody...
who is charming like him.
People who are not busy are not charming enough.
And we promised to marry.
I thought I'd use the marriage...
as a means of negotiation to make him...
drop some of his work.
- How... - You want to negotiate.
How soon do you want to get married?
Next year.
- Next year. - In about a year.
- In about a year. - How charming must he be?
- I am curious. - I am curious.
I know. Let's meet him.
Are you her boyfriend?
Yes, I am her boyfriend. Hello.
Hello.
He sounds like a sports commentator.
"That's right. Welcome. Let's start the game."
You look amazing. Can you get up?
- My goodness. He did work out... - He is handsome.
- a lot. - He's very confident.
You heard your girlfriend's story.
What do you think? Do you think it's a worry?
Well, emotionally,
I completely sympathize with her.
But I think it's...
illogical for me to give up my work...
to be in a relationship with her.
- I actually wondered... - That's hurtful.
if this is worthy of being on Hello, Korea's best...
counseling TV program. I worried about that more.
If you hear my story,
I think you would sympathize with me more.
I will boldly say...
that she will get the lowest vote.
- The lowest vote. - She will get the lowest vote.
Right.
- People are going crazy. - Why?
- They are going crazy. - I heard him only for a minute.
- And I already feel drained. - I feel drained.
- Really? - Why?
When his girlfriend asks him to do something,
he would use logic to explain his stance,
- and he will refuse her request. - He will do that.
- It's so sad. - You would think that.
It's so draining.
How many votes do you expect her to receive?
About 40 to 50 votes.
- 40 to 50 votes. - 40 to 50 votes.
The lowest vote of the day.
The lowest votes we've had so far were one vote...
- and 5 votes. - There were 8 votes too.
I remember the person who got eight votes.
He said he couldn't kiss because his tongue is too short.
- What? - So we...
We told him that he could just meet someone with a long tongue.
(Gosh. That's not a problem at all.)
Are you going to try to get one vote?
My dream is...
Your dream should be getting a zero vote.
My dream is...
(There he goes again.)
The bigger your dream, the bigger the broken pieces.
I will go for zero votes.
- All right. Let's do that. - Is there such a saying?
Yes, there is.
(You won't give up easily, will you?)
Does your schedule allow you...
to do so many different things?
I can sleep less.
I sleep 3 to 4 hours a day.
I sleep when I am on public transportation.
My main job is a sports commentator.
I am getting a Ph.D. degree in physical education.
- They are all related. - And...
I offer career counseling to middle and high school students.
I talk to them about my job as a sports commentator.
I talk to them about how to find a dream.
When you look closely, they are all related.
You must be working so hard...
because there's something you really want to achieve, right?
- Yes. - What's your goal?
My life motto is...
that my 1 step will make the world get 10 steps better.
That's the motto I live with.
So I want my action...
to make the world a more beautiful place.
"My 1 step will make the world get 10 steps better."
- Yes. - I still don't get it.
Since when have you been so busy?
I've been busy since college.
Even in college, I was a member of three clubs.
I was a member of a community service club.
I was the training leader of judo club.
I was the president of a dance club.
- I was in student government. - A leader.
I graduated with a GPA of 4.25.
Since then, I've been doing a variety of things,
and I got into the habit of getting involved in many things.
Then since when has your voice been like that?
I was born with this voice.
- It's great. - Are you a former soldier?
(Are you a former soldier?)
- I am. - Right?
- Yes. - You are a former soldier.
I served in the army, so I am a former soldier too.
- He... - You got discharged.
I was a commissioned officer at special forces.
(He's very proud.)
He looks like a professional soldier.
He's so proud of himself.
You are annoying. You won't stop bragging.
Let's ask him questions one by one. Seok Hoon,
you are looking at him seriously.
I am wondering why he became like this.
I am curious.
Leaving in the middle...
- of a date... - Right.
is quite rude.
I am curious about why you did that.
It's not right of course.
There's been a misunderstanding.
You never schedule a meeting on the day of the meeting.
It's usually scheduled a week or a month earlier.
I tell my girlfriend about all those appointments.
But because my girlfriend is so busy, she forgets it.
And she thought I suddenly got the call and left.
- That's what happened. - I see.
I think she wants to date like people in early 20s.
She wants to meet every day.
She wants to be with me every day.
It's not that I want to meet him often like people in their 20s.
When we meet, I want him...
to focus his attention on me.
- Right. - For example, we meet at 10pm.
Around midnight,
he becomes anxious like a puppy that needs to poop.
He says he has to hurry home.
- He says he's got lots to do. - Perhaps he has to poop.
What are you talking about?
It's possible.
In the winter, he doesn't get to do any sports commentary.
When that happens, he comes up with work.
For example, he takes classes to become a child psychologist,
a speech instructor,
and a psychology therapist. He studies for TOEIC.
He joins a fitness competition.
- He does judo... - Judo.
- and b-boying too. - Really?
- He does b-boying too? - Yes.
I asked him why he keeps doing those things...
and told him he should concentrate on one thing.
He does so many things that are not related.
It's frustrating that he would push the wedding...
to do these things.
She says they are not related.
But I think the most important thing in life is...
- human interaction and experience. - That's right.
They are bound to come in handy at one point.
But surely you don't have to do judo and dancing.
- B-boying. - When I was younger,
I wanted to become a judo athlete.
- You did. - I was...
preparing to become a judo athlete, but my leg got fractured.
- Right. - And I had to give up the dream.
In case of b-boying... My wrist cartilages are worn off.
- You danced too much. - Yes.
So I gave up the dream of becoming a b-boy.
I felt regret about that.
Have you never seen your boyfriend dance?
I've never seen it.
We will make your wish come true.
- Really? - Yes.
(She's curious.)
- Please show us. - To your girlfriend.
Will you be fine?
- Yes. - I'm curious how he will dance.
Touch it.
(He checks the condition of the stage like a professional.)
- If you want, - I will warm up first.
you can keep your shoes on.
- But his pants are... - My goodness.
(He easily does a headstand.)
My goodness.
(That's a warm-up?)
(Standing tall)
(He does a push-up.)
- You're amazing. - Wait.
- Wait. - Yes.
You call this a warm-up?
This is the warm-up.
- This is the warm-up. - It's this.
- My gosh. - Now.
(The passionate boyfriend will do the b-boying dance.)
(They are shocked.)
(He shows off techniques from the start.)
What was that?
(His move makes us dance.)
[VIU Ver] E409 Hello Counselor "Proud of Themselves" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Are you watching me?)
Look at your girlfriend.
She's shy.
(He's the master dancer.)
(Even the former idol Kwang Hee is impressed.)
He's amazing.
Look at him.
(My gosh!)
Look at him.
(He does the windmill...)
(and the rainbow.)
(This is the true b-boying.)
(That was thrilling.)
That was great.
(They are surprised that he is better than they imagined.)
- That was a good one. - I ran out of breath.
- I am out of breath. - What did you think?
- Are you surprised? - How was it?
Was it your first time to see?
I never thought he'd be...
so passionate even on the show.
(He's still very passionate.)
What did you think, April?
He's more passionate than us on stage.
- Right? - Yes.
- He's not dressed for b-boying. - I know.
He's wearing a suit and uncomfortable shoes.
I thought he was getting...
all those licenses...
to be superficial.
But he was very precise and good.
- He did it the right way. - He did it the right way.
Being in a relationship is the only thing he does badly.
He's good at everything else.
Look at all of his shoe marks.
- You should wipe them off. - Right.
(His passion left a trace.)
That's how well he danced.
By the way, we only saw him dancing,
and I am afraid his girlfriend will get small votes.
- Right. - Right.
The fact that he doesn't just dance passionately...
- but does everything... - I know.
- with such passion... - With a passion.
- is something I admire. - It's charming.
- I want to be like him. - His girlfriend feels upset,
but he thinks he is doing his best in this relationship.
(This is not what I wanted.)
Today, her boyfriend...
brought his mother.
- When I saw her, - It's clear.
I realized that she used to work for MBC.
Let's say hi to his mother.
Hello.
(She looks very elegant.)
- Hello. - Hello.
- Hello. - Hello, ma'am.
(Everyone says hi to her.)
I am Comedienne Jun Jung Hee.
- You had a big son like him? - Right.
I think he got the passion...
from me.
Do you understand him then?
Yes. When I was in school,
whenever I was given a role,
I worked almost too hard.
- I am sorry, but... - I got certified as a barista.
you are here as his mother.
Yes. I am sorry.
You should talk about your son.
Tell us about how passionate your son is.
- He got it from you. - We've already heard about it.
In middle and high school, he performed b-boying.
I think he grew up well...
without causing trouble during the adolescence.
No matter how tired he is,
when he comes home and sees dirty dishes,
he quietly does the dishes.
Isn't the kitchen women's space?
How can you cross the line?
Listen.
He's amazing.
I think it's nonsense.
When I go home and...
My mother works too, so she's tired too.
So I think it's only right that I do the dishes.
Please say that to the man behind you.
Sir.
(I will remember it.)
By the way, your son's girlfriend...
has every right to be sad.
Is there anything you want to tell her?
Hye Ji, thank you for...
loving my son as much as I love him.
But he's still very young,
so if you give in a little,
you can live a more comfortable life...
when you get married.
So like what he said, please bear it for just a few more years.
You are surely his mother.
- Then... - They are murmuring too much.
- She's the mother-in-law. - She's the mother-in-law.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
She's an experienced celebrity, so I thought...
she'd have a different opinion.
(She encourages her son to be even more passionate.)
She thinks the same.
(Please care about me too.)
I am curious.
Your boyfriend takes care of himself so well.
Do you get any benefit from that?
I hate that he's got such a fit body.
- He always controls his diet. - She hates it.
- He needs to care. - He always has to eat protein.
So when we are on a date,
we always eat chicken breast...
or sashimi.
What upsets me the most is...
the fact that he knows that he's got a nice body.
He posts so many photos of his body on social media.
(He covers his social media with photos of his body.)
Please.
(He covers his social media with photos of his body.)
(They cringe.)
- Please. - I hate it.
He's the type who seeks attention.
Girls...
leave a lot of comments on his photos.
That bothers me.
What kind of photos does he post? Photos of him being shirtless?
He takes off everything.
- All? - Yes.
He posts a lot of photos.
He looks great.
- That's the best photo. - I envy him.
- He won an award too. - He's really great.
(He's super confident.)
- He looks great. - I know.
Oh, dear.
He posted them himself. Let's look at the comments.
"Losing eight kilograms a month,"
"I lost a lot of muscles."
- "But this was the best I could." - "The best I could."
(We can't look at it.)
"It'd be easier to believe that it's a photo composite."
Oh, dear.
- "You are super sexy." - "Super sexy."
"It's amazing that you take great care of yourself."
She'd get upset.
- He replies to every comment. - He replies.
- He replies to every comment. - He even replied.
He's too kind.
I have something to say.
(They are curious.)
- Tell us. - My girlfriend...
asked to be introduced to me because I have a good body.
(She liked him for his body.)
She originally liked men with a fit body.
- See? - But she changed because of me.
- Why would you hate it now? - Why didn't you say that?
- I changed. I changed. - You changed?
After dating him...
Do you like someone with my body then?
I have an arm like chicken feet.
- Do you like this? - She hates that.
She hates men with a thin body.
Why did you come here then?
You two just came here to brag.
I'm sick of this.
By the way, when was the toughest moment you had?
One time, we had a big fight,
and we broke up for three months.
He said he was going on a dating program.
I told him we would break up...
if he goes on the show.
And he actually broke up with me and went on the show.
(He broke up with her and went on the show.)
That's serious.
(He's mean.)
(Girls are stirred.)
She used to be a model.
And that involved taking photos on bed...
and wedding photos.
I told her it bothered me even if it was for work.
When I told her that,
she said, "Why are you blaming me for my work?"
She yelled at me.
Being on a dating program, you didn't have to actually date...
or have physical contact.
So I asked her if I could go on that show.
And she got upset at me for going on the show.
I said, "Why can't I do it when you do it?"
The fight got big.
And we actually ended up splitting up.
I remained single after that.
He...
(Don't be cheap.)
You don't have to be so proud about that.
Strangely, he's persuasive.
- I know. - He talks very well.
- Yes. - He talks too well.
He's too perfect.
I want to tell him something good.
There was one time in my life when nothing interested me.
I was depressed.
When I got interested in life again,
I got a motorcycle driving license.
I am learning to DJ.
I realized I have to do more and experience more things.
Were you in a relationship?
- No. - No.
- I wasn't. - So there's nothing you can say.
It seems like he's got high self-esteem.
If he's not in a relationship,
who would blame him for living his life fully?
But this is a problem for his girlfriend...
because they love each other.
You have the perfectionist...
tendency.
Don't you sometimes think...
you are giving yourself too much of a hard time?
I'm a human being as well, so I do get exhausted.
It's a sensitive topic, but my father...
is currently sick.
- He's ill. - Yes, he is.
So I don't think I have all the time in the world...
to be a good son to him.
I think that's why I'm more eager to succeed...
as soon as possible.
- You must feel rushed. - I do.
Your girlfriend came here...
since your marriage was postponed five years.
She wants to negotiate. What's your take on this?
There's one big issue about getting married.
I really love kids.
My girlfriend likes kids too, but she doesn't want to have her own.
(Oh, dear.)
Since our values clash,
our marriage got postponed even more.
That's the bigger issue for you.
What is this?
It's scary for me, so I don't want to have a kid.
Are you afraid of raising a kid?
- Or giving birth? - Giving birth.
I just can't seem to do it.
(That's the real reason we're postponing our marriage.)
You heard his honest answer.
The first reason was because he wants kids.
This is my first time hearing it.
I didn't know it was that big of a deal.
- Then... - I didn't think much of it.
- You didn't? - No.
- It's a very huge issue. - Indeed.
If that's the real reason why our marriage is getting postponed,
then I should reconsider.
Good.
(She'll reconsider having kids.)
You should've talked about that sooner!
Why would you talk about it here?
- Why do we have to deal with that? - I can't believe this!
Why are you tormenting us?
You better not upload your wedding photos online!
You better not upload your baby's photo.
My goodness. So this is your first time talking about this?
Yes.
(They lacked communication.)
Their values on having children...
are the complete opposite.
- You shouldn't get married rashly. - Right.
If you get married without being able to understand how busy he is,
you will live a miserable life.
- You need to be thorough. - Yes.
Is there anything you'd like to tell him?
- Go on. - I had no idea...
this was the reason why you postponed our marriage.
Also, I'd like you to take care of your health more.
And I'll try not to be short-tempered.
When I first heard about joining this show,
I hesitated a lot.
I was worried that my job as a sportscaster...
would be seen in a bad light. That's why I hesitated.
Nevertheless, I came here...
because my girlfriend is precious to me.
I wanted us to talk and compromise.
I'll try to communicate with her more...
and would like to marry her in the future.
What if she agrees to have kids?
Would you marry her?
(Reassure me.)
Of course.
- Next year or this year? - When?
(She's happy to hear that.)
If that's the case, I'm willing to do it next year.
You're considering it.
- That's great. - Whenever she wants.
I see. We have the solution.
- You're right. - The solution is right there.
- That was simple. - I know.
You should've communicated with him more.
It was hard because they couldn't see each other much.
We'll start with Oh Jung Yeon. Is it a worry?
I think your boyfriend is very realistic.
He's working hard right now...
so that he can live a better life with you.
I don't think it's a worry either.
- I don't think it is. - You don't?
For the past four years,
I think she was easily persuaded by him when she talked about it.
I think it's a cycle, so in a way, I think it's a worry.
You don't like the way he talks?
- What do you think? - I don't think it's a worry.
- No? - No.
I don't think it's a worry.
If you think it's a worry in her shoes,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4... - 5, 4,
- Many of you are pressing. - 3, 2, 1.
- Many of the females pressed it. - Time's up.
This was the story of "Hardworking Boyfriend".
Let's see.
Okay.
No way.
You see? It's below 50.
Our last story is called "The Man Who Quits".
Hello.
I'm a stay-at-home mom...
who is raising two kids.
Apart from my sons who just won't listen,
there's someone else who torments me even more.
You're good.
- That's hilarious. - "Hello? Hey."
"How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine."
"I started delivering milk not too long ago."
(It seems peaceful so far.)
"Hey, how's your delivery job going?"
"I quit. It didn't suit me."
"It's only been a week. What are you doing now?"
"I've been working at a distribution factory since yesterday."
"But I'm planning to quit here as well."
"It doesn't suit me."
- What? - What?
My older brother, who quits his jobs relentlessly, is 40.
For the past 20 years, the shortest time he worked for...
was 1 to 2 days. The longest was only 6 months.
I want to ignore him, but...
"How are you? I'm short on money to pay for my rent."
"Can you lend me 30 dollars?"
"I'm short on money, so I've only been having soy sauce with rice."
"Can you give me 20 dollars?"
"This is the last time. Can you lend me 10 dollars?"
He's so short on money...
that he asks his younger sister for help.
"I can't give you any more money."
"Just get a job and endure it."
"Goodness me. Who am I to blame?"
"I'm such a shameful brother. I won't call you anymore."
I want to cut ties,
but I'm worried something might happen to him.
Could you please slap some sense into my brother...
and make him work?
(Please help him mature up.)
Jung Yeon, you quit being an announcer too.
How long did you have that job?
I was an announcer for 10 years.
- I did it for 10 years. - That's quite a long time.
I'm still relieved that her brother still looks...
- for jobs. - Right.
- It's a good thing. - That's good.
But I don't think he's persistent.
- You're right. - He's completely different...
- to the previous guy. - They're polar opposites.
How do you feel, Kwang Hee?
- Me? - Do you have perseverance?
Of course, I do.
When I told the people around me that I wanted to become a celebrity,
everyone, even my parents, told me to give up.
But I still went through with it.
I made it.
How long are you planning to do this?
As long as I can make others laugh.
I'll do it until the public doesn't want me anymore.
- I'm proud of you. - Did you give up being a singer?
I think they'll hate me even more if I continue.
(You can just appear on variety shows.)
Let's invite her to the stage.
(Who is this woman who's stressed about her easily giving up brother?)
(Kang Ho Sook)
Be careful.
(She trips.)
Watch out.
- Goodness. - I think she's nervous.
You're right. You can be comfortable here.
She's a bit tense right now.
Could you give her a round of applause?
You can do it. Take a look at Kwang Hee.
Don't be shy.
- Don't be shy. - Don't be.
"Don't be shy."
You said your brother quits work so easily.
Can you elaborate?
He's 40 years old.
He quits work so often.
I'm relieved if he stays at a job for a week to a month.
- That's considered a lot? - Yes, it is.
- Has he only worked for a day? - Sometimes, not even for a day.
Oh, my.
For the past 20 years after he graduated from high school,
he used to work in manufacturing,
delivery, sales,
and cleaning.
Why does he keep quitting?
He says he's not cut out for that job.
But it just sounds like an excuse.
And I also hear that...
he inconveniences the others at work.
I think that bothers him the most.
Because he can't do well?
Yes. He's completely healthy, you know?
(She criticizes him straightforwardly.)
- Right. - She means...
- that he's healthy. - Yes.
I'm the most frustrated at the fact that...
he can't take care of himself.
Does he require you to take care of him on a daily basis?
I've been married for 14 years now.
It's been a while.
Every now and then,
he'd call me.
He starts off by asking how I'm doing,
but it's always about money in the end.
"How are you doing? How about your kids?"
"How about your husband? Can you lend me 20 dollars?"
So every time he calls me,
I become scared and avoid his calls.
Since he can't stick to one job,
- he doesn't have much saved up. - No.
- You see... - She's very tense right now.
Would you like some water?
- Thank you. - Drink some.
Despite being so timid, it must've been a big worry for her.
- I know. - I know.
- My goodness. - And the views from up there...
and from down here are very different.
- Yes, 400 eyes are staring at us. - Exactly.
You're totally right.
(We'll look somewhere else.)
How does he live alone?
He usually lived at goshiwons.
- I see. - Goshiwons?
Since he doesn't have money,
he tells me that he eats soy sauce with rice.
He promises me that it's the last time.
That's how he asks for my help.
I'm sure he was in that dire of a situation...
- Right. - to ask his little sister for help.
All right. Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm Kang Woo Seok, her brother.
(Trembling)
Why are they both so timid?
- I know. - He's trembling too.
Grab tighter onto your microphone.
- He's trembling. - I pity him.
(They're indeed siblings.)
Do you understand why your sister is concerned?
In my head, I can.
But I can't seem to react to it.
- Don't mind her. She's eating. - No, I wasn't.
He had the same answer as the boyfriend we had earlier.
"In my head, I can."
I feel bad for her,
and I'm ashamed of myself.
If you don't want to call your sister for help,
why don't you continue to work?
- That's right. - Why do you keep quitting?
I'm too scared to work.
What are you scared about?
I'm too scared of people.
When people scold me a little,
it has a big impact on me.
Then I can no longer stay in that place.
That's why I run out.
You worked at a distribution factory.
That's right.
- A distribution factory. - For how long did you work there?
I worked there for four months with an acquaintance.
My acquaintance...
is smart,
so he was better at work than me.
(His acquaintance was better at work.)
The only thing I'm good at...
is manual labor,
but he was good at everything.
I couldn't stop comparing myself to him.
Thus, I couldn't work with him anymore.
Was there a time...
you received a major scolding that left a scar?
I tell myself I need to do a good job,
but I can't seem to do that when I begin to work.
I'm scared that people will find out...
I can't do a good job.
You are worrying about...
something that hasn't happened.
(Nervous and scared)
Are you out of work now?
Yes, I'm out of work now.
I work as a day laborer at a construction site...
who gets paid 100 dollars a day.
100 dollars a day?
- That must be the case. - Yes.
How much do you make in a month?
- In a day... - In a month.
In a month, I make about 100 dollars.
(In a month, I make about 100 dollars.)
- What? - In a month?
Do you work one day a month?
- Do you work one day a month? - Yes.
(What is his problem?)
You make 100 dollars a month.
When you are out of food,
you force yourself to go outside...
and work as a day laborer.
Yes. I go outside when I have no other choice.
It's hard to live a month with just 100 dollars.
That's right. It's downright impossible.
How do you live?
I struggle a lot.
I have a debt of 15,000 dollars.
(He has a debt of 15,000 dollars.)
You have a debt of 15,000 dollars?
Yes.
(My goodness.)
Then you should work more often...
even if it's hard for you.
That's right. I know I need to work...
more often,
but I can't bring myself up to do it.
Your brother has a debt...
of 15,000 dollars. Did you know?
I didn't know.
Had he worked a few months,
the situation would have been different.
There are other family members, right?
Father passed away when I was little.
Mother is... Mother is...
Can't she take in her son?
She got remarried.
I see. She got remarried.
But Woo Seok called her often...
and borrowed money from her.
At this point,
she might be wary...
- of what her husband would say. - Of course.
It's not just my mom.
He borrowed 2,000 dollars from my husband.
(He borrowed 2,000 dollars from her husband.)
- He did that. - 2,000 dollars?
When my husband worked at a cellphone factory,
he offered...
- Woo Seok a job. - That's great.
- But Woo Seok turned him down. - What?
(Woo Seok turned him down.)
Why did you do that?
I have worked at a factory.
I have worked at a ramyeon factory.
One day, a machine suddenly stopped.
Ramyeon that was in production...
- fell to the floor. - Okay.
I handled the situation,
but I got scared that...
people would come and complain.
That's why I turned down...
my brother-in-law's offer.
People don't say anything,
but you quit because you are scared that they will.
Yes.
(I'm so frustrated.)
(I'm about to die out of frustration.)
In your life,
was there an incident that instilled fear?
When I was little,
my family was very poor.
Mother and Father...
fought a lot.
They fought over trivial matters.
They fought while they watched TV.
They fought while they played the game of yut...
in the holidays.
Then...
I screamed...
and told them...
to stop fighting.
But...
my voice didn't seem to reach them.
(His voice didn't seem to reach them.)
Because I have that fear...
in my heart,
I get scared of people.
(We know your background has an impact on your character, but...)
But your sister...
- went through the same thing. - She must've gone through it too.
She saw her parents fight.
To be honest, I'm timider than he is.
I tend to hide.
I don't understand him.
He stays active and hangs out with people...
when he goes to church.
Does he get along with people at church?
He is an instructor.
An instructor?
There are friends who are in need.
I hold consultations for them from time to time.
When I see them satisfied,
I feel like I have been acknowledged.
How ironic!
You hold consultations for those in need,
but you are the one who is in need.
(You are the one who is in need.)
(I'm so frustrated.)
Let's talk to a friend of Woo Seok...
who is here with him.
What is he like at church?
At church, he is active and nice.
- He's influential. - Influential?
Yes. He has positive energy,
so I had no idea he was struggling.
Why do you think he continues to quit work?
I think he only focuses on...
the grandeur of success.
The panelists on the stage...
- went through pain and suffering. - That's right.
- All of us have. - It's thanks to that time...
they are where they are right now.
But Woo Seok only focuses on the result.
Do his words sound about right?
Yes.
The process is too hard,
so I want to skip it...
if I can.
(He gets overwhelmed by fear.)
Tell us...
how you lived in your childhood.
- That's right. - How was it before you got married?
I was 19 years old...
when I began to work.
She was Jinsol's age.
- Yes. - My father had already passed away.
Since my mother has a speech disorder...
Does she have a speech disorder?
I was the only one who could go into the workforce.
Your brother didn't work even back then.
No, he didn't.
What did your brother do?
I think he just stayed at home.
(He stayed at home and ignored his working sister.)
I was going through hard times...
when I met a man who comforts me...
at the age of 23.
That's why I got married at a young age.
Married life is different...
- from expectations. - That's right.
Yes. I want to work,
but my 2nd son who is 13 years old...
is very behind in speech.
- He is behind in speech. - Yes.
His language skills equal to those of a 5 or 6-year-old.
But he's 13 years old.
My son is going through treatments,
but my brother continues to call me.
(He continues to call her and asks for money.)
It puts me in a tight spot.
Don't you feel anything as her brother?
I thought...
my sister was well-off.
Exactly how hard is your life?
- What is your situation? - You know,
my sister has a husband...
and two children.
But I'm alone most of the times.
It gets lonely.
I go hungry a lot.
I skip a meal a lot.
Then you should work.
Would you rather starve than to face your fears?
Yes. Sometimes,
- I think starving is better. - Starving is better?
(He thinks starving is better...)
(than facing his fears.)
I know I need to work,
but I wander alone more often.
It's more comfortable for you.
(It's more comfortable for him.)
You said you became this way...
because of your parents' fights.
But it's unbelievable to think...
- you have this much fear... - That's right.
because of that.
There must be a different reason...
you aren't telling us.
I couldn't tell you because it's embarrassing.
In elementary school,
other children would raise their hands...
and ask to go to the restroom.
However, I soiled my pants because I couldn't do that.
Since then, my classmates began...
to make fun of me.
They would steal my backpack and rip it apart.
They would hit my face.
They would tell me...
to buy them bread.
Those things happened.
- You were bullied. - You were bullied.
(This is her first time to hear about his trauma.)
Did it only happen in elementary school?
It continued on to high school.
- It continued on. - It happened that way.
(Gosh, I feel bad.)
When I went to school,
my classmates made fun of me.
What you told us...
made us understand your fear.
What other people think...
- is important to you. - It does.
(She pities him.)
Have you been in a relationship?
Of course, he hasn't.
For about three years back in the days...
(What?)
For about three years back in the days, I dated someone.
I was in my mid-30s.
- 3 years? - Yes, it lasted about 3 years.
It lasted longer than your any job.
- That's right. - You have talent in love.
- My goodness. - He has talent.
This is a different matter.
Even during the war...
- People have babies. - But...
Why did you break up?
The talk of marriage naturally came up.
Marriage.
I wanted...
- to say hello to her parents. - That's right.
But my situation held me back.
- What situation? - I had no work.
I had no source of income. I quitted work often, too.
You must have worked when you had a girlfriend.
No, I didn't work for long...
even when I had a girlfriend.
You didn't change even when you were in love.
I guess this is a matter love can't change.
- He's an illiberal person. - Did you spend time with her...
as she wanted?
- Yes, I did. - You spent a lot of time with her.
This is what the girlfriend of the earlier worry wants.
(The 2nd worry)
That's what girlfriend wants. There are two extremes in the world.
That's exactly what you want.
He spent time with his girlfriend as she wanted.
Whom will you choose?
(Whom will she choose?)
- She must like it. - This is too extreme.
This is too extreme.
(Woo Seok is eliminated.)
"This"?
- He is a person. - I am sorry, but he is too extreme.
(I understand that choice.)
We asked the experts.
If you experience traumatic events in childhood...
such as bullying,
you can have troubles...
with interpersonal relationships...
even in adulthood.
When we asked the experts about Woo Seok,
they said the fact he repeatedly tried to find work...
shows his perseverance...
and patience.
It would be nice to find Woo Seok's strong points.
Let's give him some positive words.
He has a comfortable voice.
- That's right. - It's very gentle.
- Right. - I bet he never fights.
You are a pacifist, right?
Yes.
- Right? - I try...
not to have a fight.
He is the type of men at a church women fall for.
- He embraces people... - Right.
and makes them feel comfortable.
Are you a picky eater?
- You aren't, are you? - I am not a picky eater.
You simply can't eat because there is no food.
- I just eat whatever. - He isn't a picky eater.
I am happy with kimchi.
You're happy with just kimchi.
Someone says kimchi isn't a side dish!
He is happy with just kimchi.
What are good things about your brother?
- Good things? - Yes.
When we talk,
he listens to my worries.
He is good at listening to people's worries.
In that case,
you should work with us from next week on.
- That's right. - That would be great.
Do you want a position?
Become a comedian.
That's right.
When we talk,
he makes me laugh a lot.
He makes you laugh.
You know what?
Ho Sook kept her voice quiet...
and trembled all along. Talking about her brother...
made her speak up and smile. She is looking at her brother.
(Did you realize it as well?)
What are good things about your brother?
(She is smiling.)
(She is looking up.)
He makes me...
(She even laughed.)
I have a younger sister,
so I can't help but sympathize with this worry.
What does your sister say when there are...
vicious comments about you?
She acts like she hasn't read them.
- But she has read them. - Yes. I guess it upsets her.
Of course, it does.
(Every younger sister feels the same.)
Even though she is really timid,
she visited Hello...
- for your sake. - That's right.
She shed tears before the shoot because she was so scared.
(I endured it for you.)
Is your sister timid or not?
She is very timid.
Did she struggle a lot or not?
She struggled a lot.
What do you want to do for her?
Don't you want to make her happy?
I want to be good to her.
(Don't worry anymore.)
(You can do this together.)
(You can start from now on.)
Put your hand on your chest and ask yourself.
Was it your laziness or fear?
There was laziness, too.
(A new beginning...)
(starts with acknowledgment.)
Since your sister overcame,
you should overcome as well.
- Okay? - Okay.
(From now on,)
(I will be the big brother.)
What do you want to say to your brother one last time?
I am emotional.
It's okay. Put yourself at ease.
Things were really tough for me.
I want to lean on you,
but what matters the most is...
for you to live well.
Good luck.
All right. She is kind.
Say a few words to your sister.
Until now,
I was a bad brother to you.
From now, I will become a brother...
who is less lazy and work hard.
Please wait for me a bit longer.
I hope you would make specific promises.
How many days you will work in a month?
(How many days you will work in a month?)
(Woo Seok was weak.)
(What kind of a promise will he make?)
I will work 10 to 15 days.
(10 to 15 days)
- 15 days? Are you certain? - Yes.
I will do that much. I will work hard.
All right.
(Please believe me. I will work hard.)
Let's start with Jinsol. Is this a worry or not?
I think this is a big worry.
I also think it's a worry.
I am sure everyone in the studio...
is cheering for you.
I hope you succeed this time.
I am certain you will stay courageous and change.
Ho Sook wants to see her brother happy.
Please make it happen.
If you think it's a worry,
please press the button.
(Please send us your worries about yourself, family, and friends.)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- All right. - Time's up.
Show us the result.
(The result)
The current highest score is 117 votes.
(How many people will...)
Will it get over 100 votes?
(Sympathize with a worry about a jobless brother?)
- My goodness. - 166 votes.
That's a lot.
This week, "The Man Who Quits" wins.
The winner will receive a cash prize. Congratulations.
Until the day we are all worry-free,
Hello will continue to counsel you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
