We will counsel you on your unspeakable concerns.
- National Competition on Worries! - Competition on Worries!
(It's nice to meet you.)
Let me introduce you to our today's guests.
The newlywed groom who got married a week ago, Lee Yong Jin!
(Lee Yong Jin, the newlywed groom)
The KBS announcer, Chung Da Eun!
(The KBS announcer, Chung Da Eun)
The Russian fairy, Angelina Danilova!
- Angelina Danilova! - It's nice to meet you.
Hwang Min Hyun and Aron of NU'EST are back as a complete group!
- Hello. - Hello.
(Welcoming enthusiastically)
He got married on the day we recorded this show,
- so we couldn't attend his wedding. - We couldn't go.
- That's right. - Is that why you came on the show?
No, no. That's not why I'm here.
Everyone already sent me money gift.
- Did Dong Yeob send you his gift? - Yes.
Tell me just one thing. Who gave you more? Me or Dong Yeob?
- Don't you want to know? - I'm curious.
- Yes. - We want to know.
- I can't... - Tell us. Which one?
How can I say it?
(I'll show you.)
How could I say it? I didn't say anything.
- I didn't say anything. - However...
- Yong Jin is famous as a show-off. - That's right.
Doesn't your wife tell you not to be like that?
There's something she says often. I ride a motorcycle to work.
It's actually a scooter.
However, I don't usually check the weather forecast.
It started raining when I left home so many times.
I went back home being soaked in rain.
Whenever things go wrong for me, my wife says,
"So it didn't work out so well."
I think they're living a happy life together.
How is Jo Woo Jong?
Actually, I came here to share my worry.
He lost a lot of weight.
Why? Did he lose weight willingly?
Many people think so, but in fact, he just worked too hard...
- Oh, boy. - and lost as much as 12kg.
- What? - Oh, gosh. What has he been...
Please make that story appropriate for a TV show.
They've been married for two years.
I mean, after we got married...
(The newlywed groom cracks up.)
Yong Jin, how do you know what that means?
Min Hyun and Aron, you don't know what it means.
- Why are you laughing? - They laughed so hard.
Really? I see.
When you got invited to this show...
and heard that Angelina would come on the show,
you made a special request...
- The thing is... - to our staff.
I always thought she looks so pretty like a doll,
so I asked the staff if I would sit next to her.
I didn't want people to say that I lost my beauty after giving birth.
I asked the staff to let me sit away from her.
- Then... - Yes?
Hold on. Is that why you're sitting next to Yeong Ja?
(I can't believe her.)
How did it happen?
(This is so unexpected.)
(Don't misunderstand me.)
Angelina is famous for speaking five different languages.
- Korean, Russian... - Korean, Russian,
- Italian, Serbian, and English. - Serbian.
- And English. - You learned Korean already.
I heard you're learning to speak in dialect.
- It's so fun to speak in dialect. - What area?
- Gyeongsang Province dialect. - Gyeongsang Province?
They speak like this. "Sweetie, did you eat?"
"Have you been well?"
"Is he the same person?" Like this.
- You're better than Dong Yeob. - I...
(Embarrassed)
Min Hyun hasn't come on Hello as a member of NU'EST before.
- It's my first time. - You came here as Wanna One.
- That's right. - It was so hectic outside.
Not only his fans swarmed in front of the building,
but also Hong Suk Chun texted me to say, "Take care of my babies."
(Take care of my babies.)
Gosh. He's unbelievable.
(Why would he say that?)
Is there anything you pay attention to in case you meet your fans?
Even when I go to a convenience store,
I take a shower.
- Just to go to a nearby store? - Yes.
Min Hyun checks himself in the mirror 50 times a day.
- Really? - 50 times a day?
Yes. I think he's satisfied with his appearance.
- Is that right? - How do you look in the mirror?
- Oh, I see. - You're looking in the mirror.
- It looks like a TV commercial. - He looks cool.
- He's handsome. - He's so charming, right?
Yes, he is. By the way, NU'EST...
released a new song.
But I heard that Aron can't dance with Min Hyun.
Yes. I hurt my arm while practicing dancing.
- Min Hyun will perform without me. - Be more careful.
(The unexpected solo performance)
- "Bet Bet". - Right.
(Excited)
("Bet Bet" by NU'EST)
(He's performing with him at heart.)
(Fatally sexy)
(My heart, stop beating so fast.)
(It was awesome.)
(He won every woman's heart.)
We have three stories as always.
Show us the keywords please.
(The keywords are revealed.)
"The Worst Husband".
- "When Will Hello End?" - "When Will Hello End?"
- "The Scented House". - "The Scented House".
"The Worst Husband".
I need someone to play the husband. Where should I find him?
(Avoiding her eyes)
Yong Jin, would you like to play the husband?
- Me? - Yes.
This is my second marriage already.
(I didn't know I'd get married twice in a week.)
Hello.
I'm a housewife in my 50s, and I have two daughters and a son.
Many husbands who were hooked on hobbies have appeared on Hello.
So many of such people did.
But still, I'm sure that none of them...
was worse than my husband who turned 60 this year.
Compared to my husband,
they were nothing.
My husband has gotten hooked on badminton, hiking, fishing, go game,
swimming, skiing, billiards... That's not all.
Golf and go stop game.
He must've tried all kinds of hobbies.
- He's tried everything. - He's been enjoying the hobbies...
for a very long time as well.
He's been playing go stop game for 10 years, nearly 10,000 hours,
badminton for 10 years, hiking for 20 years, nearly 20,000 hours,
skiing for 20 years, nearly 20,000 hours,
fishing for 30 years, nearly 30,000 hours.
As for the go game... Don't be too surprised.
He's been enjoying it for 50 years.
(The real deal is here!)
(Her jaw dropped.)
It's not an exaggeration to say that he dedicated his entire life...
to enjoy his hobbies.
"Honey."
"Today is my mom's birthday. Aren't you coming?"
"I can't go."
"I have to practice badminton for the contest."
I said he was in his 60s.
- I didn't say he was sick. - Right.
I guess I made him sound...
"Today is my mom's birthday. Aren't you coming?"
"I can't go."
"I have to practice badminton for the contest."
He puts his hobbies before the family.
He even got hooked on playing go game on his phone.
He buries his face in his phone all day long.
What should I do about this man who's happy alone with his hobbies?
Please help him refrain himself.
- That's all. - My goodness.
- Yong Jin, thank you. - No worries.
"It didn't work so well."
Let's bring out our guest. Please welcome her with applause.
(Who is worried about her husband who spent decades on his hobbies?)
(Yoon Hyeon Sook)
Tell us about the kinds of hobbies your husband's into.
My husband is 60 years old.
He's been into his hobbies his entire life.
In the early years of our marriage, he got hooked on go stop game.
He played the game for 10 years.
His friends came to our house to play it.
I had to make food for them to eat while drinking.
When I thought he got tired of the game,
he got hooked on go game, billiards,
swimming, fishing,
- skiing, badminton, - Skiing too.
- We heard... - and golf.
- Golf? - Yes.
- He's unusual. - Probably,
he tried everything except for soccer.
When he went skiing four years ago,
- he broke his leg. - Oh, no.
He was hospitalized for two months.
And he went fishing before he fully recovered.
- He ended up getting phlegmon. - Oh, I see.
- It hurts so much. - He was hospitalized again.
He enjoys many different hobbies at the same time.
Exactly. For example, those who like fishing...
- never go hiking. - That's right.
Most people are deeply into a hobby once they get hooked on it.
They don't usually try another hobby when they're into something.
- Right. I heard that too. - Yes.
How does he do all those? I guess he's good at all of them.
Is it possible?
That's why he has no time to stay at home.
He goes straight to the badminton court after he finishes work at 6pm.
And he finishes practicing at 1am at the earliest.
- He finishes at 1am? - At the earliest?
Yes. He finishes it at 1am at the earliest.
- Until how late does he play it? - He finishes practicing...
at 2am or 3am.
Even professional players don't practice more than three hours.
- Why does he practice so long? - Exactly.
How many hours does he practice?
At his age.
He must be as good as a professional player.
It's as if his kid's birthday is coming soon,
and he promises...
he'll win and give his child the trophy as a gift.
It sounds like that, right?
- It sounded like that to me. - You would do it, Yong Jin.
Had he become a professional player, earned a lot of money...
and appeared on many TV shows,
- Earn a lot of money. - I wouldn't be this upset.
- Did it not work out for him well? - Result.
No, it didn't.
(I don't even want that!)
What does he do lately?
He plays go game on his phone...
- Go game. - and billiards.
He's busy playing games on his phone while eating,
so he doesn't respond even when I talk to him.
Besides, he plays games even while driving,
- which worries me so much. - That's not good.
- Even while driving? - Even while driving?
- He put it on the phone holder. - He put his phone on it?
I keep an eye on the road.
I feel so anxious...
- when I'm in the car. - You must be.
It's dangerous for himself.
- And he could cause others harm. - That's right.
- It can cause a serious problem. - Of course.
It's an irresponsible action.
(It's time to quit it, honey.)
Let's meet up with her husband who is deeply into his hobbies...
- and find out the reason. - If you just look at his face,
he doesn't look like he'd behave like that at all.
- He looks like a professor. - He looks generous and...
He looks like...
- He looks like a professor. - he'd take care of orchid at home.
- Exactly. - Yes.
Hello.
(It's nice to meet you.)
Don't you think it's dangerous to play a game while driving?
Of course, it is.
Well, I admit it.
However, when I was young, whenever there was a car accident,
- Yes. - I had to arrive at the scene...
within 5 or 10 minutes while talking on the phone.
Did you work as an agent?
Yes, I worked there for a while.
So are you saying it became a habit, and so you play games?
No. That's not what I meant.
(I won't do it again.)
Your wife told us that you go to the badminton court after work...
and practice until after midnight.
I usually... I have so much to say about badminton.
Can't you tell us briefly?
- Shall I make it short? - Yes, please.
There are Group A, B, C, D...
in each age group.
Right. To practice in pairs.
We participate in a contest to get promoted to a higher grade.
6 or 7 badminton contests are held in a year.
I participate in all of them.
They aren't the only contests he participates in.
If I win...
I'm sorry, sir, but we'll hear what your wife has to say.
He doesn't participate only in badminton contests.
He also found all the go game contests.
- He participates in contests too? - Yes.
- So it's more than a hobby. - That's right.
How many trophies does he have at home?
(The number of trophies that he won at various contests)
(Could it be like this?)
He has none.
(He has none.)
(Goodbye.)
- It didn't work out well for him. - It didn't work out well.
(It's a big twist.)
My goodness.
(She's upset, and he's embarrassed.)
I participated in the Korea Amateur Championship.
I got eliminated in the preliminary round.
I participated in the contest last year too.
I hope I can win a contest at least once.
I also participated in a go game contest twice.
I got eliminated in the preliminary round,
but I want to keep trying.
You have a lot of hobbies.
Doesn't it cost a lot of money?
- Ma'am, please tell us. - Right?
He gives me half his salary...
for living expenses.
I assume that he probably spends about 1,000 dollars...
on his hobbies.
How much do you actually spend to be honest?
When I was younger... Since I play golf too,
I spent around 3,000 dollars a month.
- That's a lot of money. - Just on enjoying your hobbies?
- 3,000 dollars a month? - She's shocked.
(He did a good job in hiding his slush fund.)
I don't spend that much money on my hobbies anymore.
I quit smoking and drinking.
I spend about 500 dollars a month.
He reduced a lot. You heard them whispering before, right?
(You hear them whispering, right?)
(I can't believe him!)
- He has too many hobbies, right? - Yes.
Which one of his hobbies do you hate the most?
I hate billiards the most.
- Why? - He's been playing billiards...
for about 40 years.
Last year, he even decided to...
start his own billiard hall.
I spent a few tens of thousands of dollars to open it.
- A billiard hall? - He opened his own billiard hall?
(He made his hobby his job.)
He made his hobby his job.
- But... - Exactly.
Didn't he have a job?
- Yes. Our son said he'd run it. - Was it successful?
Is his business going well now?
No. We closed it in one year.
We only wasted a few tens of thousands of dollars.
- The business flopped. - It didn't work well.
It's really difficult to run a business.
- With your money? - Yes, the money I had saved.
I think our daughter also pitched in.
Probably, she didn't get repaid.
Why did you open your own billiard hall?
I wanted to improve my billiard skills.
- He used it for training. - He's adorable.
And my son took a year off from school,
so I ran it with him.
But it was harder than I thought.
Could he have played billiards...
even when customers walked in?
- "Excuse me." - That's right.
- Right? - Really?
- Yes. - "Is there any empty table?"
- "No." - He sent them away.
He didn't even care if customers come in or go out.
His acquaintances were always in the corner...
- of his billiard hall. - It was like their playground.
Ma'am, are you happy that we listen to you?
Yes, I am.
We can't be sure if it's because of this show, but...
I can finally smile.
- Tell us everything today. - I'll do that.
Tell us the PIN number of your bank book.
Reveal every little thing.
Have you enjoyed any hobbies secretly...
without telling your wife?
(There's no way, right?)
- How can he tell us that? - He seems to have done it.
- Would it be okay to tell us? - I'm sure he has.
Just tell us everything, sir.
(Why can't you say what it was?)
When I was in my early 40s, I learned the jitterbug.
(Jitterbug)
(Holding hands, pushing and pulling)
(The social dance in 4 by 4 beat)
(What?)
(That's too much.)
- In your early 40s, - Jitterbug?
- you learned the jitterbug? - Jitterbug?
- It's a dance. - A dance?
- Didn't you know about it? - Like dance sports.
I didn't know.
- Why did you do it secretly? - Exactly.
I learned it to improve my social skills.
(Holding the partner's hand)
(Oh, no.)
Well...
(Furious)
Did you have very poor social skills?
I learned it for only three months,
and I quit it...
to prevent a misunderstanding.
It would've been great if you learned it with your wife.
That would've been a bit awkward.
If you consider the social atmosphere and all...
(Even I feel upset.)
Is that so? Then I'll go and dance with you.
- I'll see how good you are. - Okay.
We'll dance up there.
Your wife could get the wrong idea.
- It's a proper dance, ma'am. - Jitterbug.
- All right. Show us. - Sir.
(Light steps)
(Light turn)
(She makes a mistake.)
(Messy partnership)
(Laughing)
(The female partner is so strong.)
(Yeong Ja, you scare me.)
They're not fighting, are they?
Oh, gosh.
(They suddenly start showing off their strength.)
It looks as if I'm watching a Muay Thai match.
It's fun to push each other like this.
(Honey, don't misunderstand me.)
Their daughters are here as well.
Hi, both of you.
Hello.
Can you understand why your mother is worried?
I can understand both of my parents.
- Both of them? - Yes.
What part of your mother's worries can you understand?
She doesn't have a chance to eat dinner with him often.
- What about your father? - He enjoys...
- his own life. - Right.
I can understand that.
- You understand that too. - Yes.
I think they just have different lifestyles.
All right. Min Hyun, ask the second daughter a question.
Okay.
(Giggling)
Okay.
(Oh, my. It's Hwang Min Hyun.)
When you see your mother,
doesn't she seem lonely?
He asked a question regarding the show.
But she reacted as if he asked her a personal question about her.
All right.
Keep it together.
My mom spends a lot of time alone at home.
When I see her like that, I feel bad for her.
Even when my dad comes home,
he only plays a game on his phone.
He doesn't talk to my mom much.
He couldn't even hear her when she calls him.
Only if she pokes him,
he realizes she was there and answer her question.
- My dad can't hear others clearly. - Seriously?
He was hospitalized because he hurt his leg while skiing.
The nurse came to check his body temperature, but he played go...
with earphones in his ears.
However, the nurse seemed to be used to situations like that.
She took the earphone out of his ear...
to check the temperature, put it back in his ear, and left.
- Awesome. - She's cool.
- That's amazing. - I can't believe he ignored her,
- She did her job. - but she just did what she had to.
So are you saying...
that your mother should do the same when she wants to talk to him?
Yes. That's right.
Usually, when the mother is worried this much,
the daughters are on their mothers' side...
- in many cases. - That's right.
But you two don't seem to have felt disappointed by your father.
When I just started working,
I lent him 2,000 dollars, which was a lot to me.
- Of course, it was. - Absolutely.
I lent him the money to open his billiard hall.
About 2,000 dollars. But he hasn't repaid me yet.
You should've gone there before it was closed...
and taken some of the billiard cues...
and balls.
Or at least some chalks.
I am a little bit upset about it, but other than that...
He let us do whatever we want just the way...
he lives his own life.
- Since you were a little child? - If we want to do something,
he supports us financially.
He also buys us whatever we want.
Suddenly, all the daughters in the audience are whispering.
"He's a great daddy."
- That's true. - Actually,
if I compare him to other people...
around his age,
I feel proud of him.
- Do you think it's understandable? - Yes.
How about the eldest daughter? Are you upset about anything?
We didn't eat with my dad...
- very often. - I see.
I was upset about it when I was little.
However, you know how work can stress you out, right?
But my dad never took out his stress from work...
on his family.
- You appreciate it. - Yes.
- Your two daughters are here, - Ma'am.
but...
Ma'am, you look like you have aged suddenly.
I'm sorry to say this,
but it didn't work out well for you.
Ma'am...
Your daughters are not helping.
It's impressive.
He never took out his stress from work on his family.
I don't agree with that.
When others ask him a favor,
- he never says no. - He doesn't refuse.
I've never seen him refusing other people's favors.
- What about the favors you asked? - Then why does he...
turn down my favor every time I ask of him?
- He refuses only yours. - Yes.
- I don't know why. - I think...
- he is different to his wife... - Does he hate me?
from the way he seems in his daughters' eyes.
(She has pent up frustration inside her.)
(She's been putting up with him for so long.)
Also, since I have aged,
I think I'm going through menopause.
Even when I try not to,
I shed tears alone sometimes.
- Things like this... - Right.
(She sheds tears all alone sometimes.)
I heard what your wife said while Yeong Ja was talking.
"I think he doesn't like me." That's what she said.
- That's not true. - Even so,
if she feels that way, that means you didn't have...
enough conversations with her.
- She wants to have conversations. - I see.
- Aside from that, - Yes.
we need to discuss important matters...
to maintain our household well.
But he makes decisions by himself.
When he lent money to someone...
without discussing with me and couldn't get repaid.
One day, I saw a brand new car parked in front of our house.
"Whose car could that be?"
Then he said it was ours.
(Proud)
- My goodness. - He does that.
- Things like this. - He makes decisions...
- without discussing with you. - Yes. Also...
We have a son too.
After he graduated from elementary school,
he had a hard time while going through puberty.
So my husband sent him to the US to study...
without my consent.
- My goodness. - What?
(It's something that requires enough discussion.)
"Where are you going, Son?"
- "I'm going to study abroad." - No. It wasn't like that.
He told me the idea of sending him...
to study abroad, but I said I didn't want to let him go.
Nevertheless, he ignored my opinion.
I was separated from my son against my wishes.
- He ignored your opinion. - I spent years missing my son.
You weren't emotionally ready, but he didn't even discuss with you.
- No, he didn't. - I think this is...
a bigger problem for you...
- than his hobbies. - It's the biggest problem.
(His tendency to dogmatism is a bigger problem.)
Why do you make decisions on your own?
Don't you think that makes your wife...
- feel like she's being ignored? - Of course.
To make it up to her, I tried my best...
to make her happy.
Her birthday is June 15 in the lunar calendar.
- It's a peak vacation season. - Right.
To make seaweed soup for her,
I pack all the ingredients including beef...
so I can make the soup for her during our trip.
I also write letters to her from time to time.
When do you write a letter to her?
On her birthday or other special days like that.
I thought it would offset what I did to upset her.
I didn't know she actually wanted things like having a conversation.
And warm words for her.
- Here. - I see. I'm relieved.
(The handwritten letters for his wife)
The envelopes turned yellow over time.
(Impressed)
What's that? There's a drawing of an orchid.
- There's a drawing. - Look at that.
(Did he draw on the paper too?)
Did you draw that orchid by yourself?
No. I downloaded the image.
(He downloaded the image.)
I knew it. I knew it.
You should've said you drew it since there's no way we can confirm it.
- That's funny. - I downloaded only the image.
He downloaded the image.
(Your handwriting looks even greater than the drawing.)
(I thought he drew it.)
- Of course. - I'll read the latter part.
"Dear Hyeon Sook."
"I couldn't forget about you until I picked up a pen again."
"I don't mind if you call me foolish."
"I thought I could be rational rather than emotional now."
"So I picked up a pen after holding back for so long."
"I would like to see you."
"Take care."
It was written on March 21, 1990.
- It was before you got married. - Yes. It was before we got married.
- I see. - They must've fought a lot.
- This one was written in 1990 too. - Yes, we did.
"I have no excuses for what I did."
(I have no excuses for what I did.)
(The sinner of love)
(Embarrassed)
"I think that I did it because I became obsessed with..."
"one thing and nothing else unintentionally just like you said."
"I am ashamed. I hope you understand me."
(He was romantic only when we were dating.)
Every evening,
all the seven members of my family gathered in the living room...
and had a nice chat.
- Maybe I was missing it. - Of course.
- I... - It's just natural.
I expected things like that.
Do you feel lonely when you have a husband and children?
- Since I'm going through menopause, - Right.
I don't think I'm lonely in my mind,
but my heart is telling me I'm lonely.
(I feel lonely inside.)
(You're not asking for too much.)
Ma'am, how about you find a hobby...
just like your husband did,
and try to focus on it...
while spending time on it?
- I like writing poems. - Poems.
I've written a short story and an essay before.
- That's amazing. - Since I have that experience...
We asked her to show us one of the poems...
she wrote in the past.
I chose this poem because I thought it was suitable...
for this situation.
- Did you write it before marriage? - Yes.
"He and I".
"To feel his presence closely,"
"he's too far away from me."
"He and I are neither distant nor close to each other."
"The power of love..."
"that is closing in on me every day..."
"makes it possible for us to walk the same distance..."
"in the same direction..."
"even though there is no signs on our path."
(We walk the same distance in the same direction.)
(She protected her family while her husband enjoyed his hobbies,)
(and she put up with everything for many years for her children.)
(The poem describes her feelings just as they are.)
This is how it goes.
(You could publish a book of poems.)
It feels like you wrote it yesterday.
You said you wrote it before marriage,
but it feels like you wrote just yesterday.
I think Min Hyun and Aron...
- could make a song with this. - Exactly. It's beautiful.
To feel his presence closely, He's too far away from me
Here. Try to add a melody to it.
Use any songs of yours. Such as "Bet Bet".
(To feel his presence closely)
(He's too far away from me)
- It's good. - Keep going. One more verse.
(But to say that he and I are distant from each other)
(It's so sweet.)
He's so talented.
She wrote a beautiful poem.
Ma'am,
did you write the poem when you were dating him?
I'm sorry.
I understand.
(I should watch my mouth.)
The atmosphere was just so good until now!
That's what poems are like. A poem makes you...
- imagine something... - It's too late.
His ears turned red again.
(Dad, are you okay?)
From her husband and daughters' perspectives,
there aren't any serious problems in this family.
It's not that he yells at everyone, smashes things in the house,
or cause trouble regarding money matters.
But there's one person in this family who is suffering.
- She's frustrated. - Right.
I'm sure she has been very lonely until now.
(She must've been very lonely.)
Since we have less time left...
than the time we already spent in our lives,
I want you...
to be a true life companion to me,
not as a boarder.
(I want you to be my true life companion.)
I realized...
how lonely you must have felt until now.
I'll try not to play games on my phone from now on.
However,
I hope you can allow me to...
- continue to enjoy just 3... - About 3.
of my hobbies.
Let's live happily together.
I love you.
(I love you.)
(Do you really understand me?)
Shall we start from Aron? Do you think it's a worry?
Please get the button ready.
I think they'll be fine if they both try to change.
Be it gratitude or love,
- it has to be expressed. - That's right.
I hope he'll try to express his love more.
- You'll get married someday, right? - Yes.
Won't your wife feel lonely because you look in the mirror too much?
I'll look at myself reflected in my wife's eyes instead.
- Good. - That'd be great.
(Laughing)
(That's the best answer.)
I think it's a worry.
I don't think it's a worry.
There's something I heard before I got married.
"A married couple should share the same emotions."
The wife feels lonely,
- but her husband... - He doesn't feel lonely.
Exactly.
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.
Let's see how many votes they got.
"The Worst Husband".
The last digit is 6. Is it over 100?
(Let's see.)
What's the result?
That's a lot.
The next person...
has a lot to say about our show, Hello.
"When Will Hello End?".
Can't we just answer that question right away?
- What's the answer? - "When will Hello end?"
- How do we know that? - "It ends around 12:30am."
That's when the show ends.
I don't think that's what it means.
I think this person is asking when our show, Hello,
will stop airing.
- Then... - We'll have to fight.
(We will protect Hello.)
Hello, I'm a girl in my 20s...
who watches Hello every week.
How long will this show go on?
The thing is,
I suffer so much every Monday night.
"Hey! Come here right now!"
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"Listen to that story."
"What a terrible husband!"
"How many hobbies does he have, really?"
- Dong Yeob. - Yes?
- Just read out what's written. - Okay, I will.
I got a little carried away.
Every week, my mom gets...
so upset while watching Hello.
The problem is, she always has me sit down next to her...
and lectures me.
Do you think it's just once a week?
No way.
- "Hey, look what's on the news." - News?
"They didn't put on their seatbelts."
"That's why they got injured so badly."
"You should never forget to put on your seatbelt."
"And never jaywalk."
It's the same when she watches other shows too.
Whenever she hears a story,
she analyzes the cause and comes up with solutions.
She just can't stop talking.
"Mom, I have things to do. Can I go to my room?"
"Look at that man on TV."
"He never listens to other people."
"That's a big problem."
"I'm not like him, am I?"
My mom is driving me crazy with her constant talking.
- "I'm not like him, am I?" - It all started from Hello.
Please put an end to this.
(Please make my mom stop lecturing me.)
Moms nag a lot when the kids are young.
Do Russian parents...
nag a lot too?
It's very common for parents to nag.
But my parents didn't nag a lot.
- Really? - It's because...
we were like...
- friends even when I was young. - You were like friends.
We talked a lot.
What did they say when you told them you were going to Korea?
They trusted me,
so they supported me.
- That's great. - They trust you.
Let's meet the girl who sent this story.
Please come out!
(Who is worried about her mom who lectures her while watching TV?)
(Jung Ha Neul)
(Stuck)
(Struggling)
- Take my hand. - She was neck-deep in the pool.
Your mom will nag you later about this too.
"Why couldn't you be more careful?"
Does your mom watch Hello often?
She's been watching every episode...
since the show first started.
She gets immersed in every story...
and gets upset.
What kind of stories attract her attention especially a lot?
It's when parents and their children come on the show together...
and the children talk about their concerns.
Mom says, "What would have made those children so angry?"
"I'm sure it's their parents' fault."
The guests...
- take a vote, right? - They take a vote.
My mom says, "Do they think..."
"the problem has been solved by just a few words?"
She gets angry when someone votes no.
When people watch dramas, they say, "What a jerk."
"How can he do that?" But that's part of the fun.
Is that such a big problem?
- Right. - You have a point,
but it's not just about Hello.
When she watches news programs,
she makes me sit next to her and lectures me.
You have to sit next to her?
I have a hamster in my room.
Mom came to my room because I wasn't coming out.
And I was looking at my hamster.
She said she'd throw it. She spoke in such an aggressive way.
She said she'd throw your hamster?
She was jealous.
She wanted me to sit next to her...
- She was hurt. - instead of looking at the hamster.
Once she gets upset, it makes the whole family uncomfortable.
- It becomes so awkward. - You have to go along with her.
It sounds like...
her mom is very interested in her children.
She counsels teenagers.
- She counsels teenagers? - Yes.
She counsels teenagers at juvenile detention centers too.
And she tells me about those teenagers a lot.
Once, she told me the same story five stories.
Do you remember what it was about?
Well...
Because she repeated the same story over and over again,
I ended up ignoring it.
- It had the reverse effect. - Your mom is...
sitting right over there.
- She'll nag you about this. - Right.
When you told her you sent a story about her...
to Hello,
what was her reaction?
- She loved it. - She did?
- Right. - Every time she watches the show,
she wants to come here and talk.
(I want to talk.)
The daughter is so concerned about her mother,
- but her mother seems so happy... - Her mother is happy.
to be on the show.
Let's talk to her.
Hello.
(Who loves Hello and can't stop nagging?)
You have a lot to say about Hello?
Yes. I work with teenagers.
I really want them to be happy.
That's why...
every time I watch Hello,
I think, "That's why..."
"teenagers are so unhappy."
We don't even have to talk about old stories.
What about the story right before yours?
Did you hear it?
- Yes. - They're...
right behind you.
(When they were talking about their problem,)
(the mother was sitting right next to him.)
(She was talking to her second daughter the whole time.)
(She usually watches Hello at home...)
(but being in the studio makes the show even more fun.)
What do you think they should do?
It's natural that the husband and wife are different.
We should admit that.
But if the wife starts enjoying her hobbies too,
what will happen to their family?
It's selfish of the husband to do as he wants.
They're right behind her.
Why don't you say hello first?
They're right behind her.
(It's not over yet?)
What she said is right.
- It's on point. - It's absolutely right.
But you're the cause of the problem this time.
You're sitting right where he was sitting.
(She forgot why she is here.)
When you watch TV,
does your daughter have to sit next to you?
My daughter is a lot like me.
She is very empathetic.
- She is a good listener. - I knew it.
- And... - She shows a reaction.
my second daughter often performs...
- in other cities, so she's away. - She's away.
My son comes home late from his part-time job.
The only person I have is my oldest daughter.
Don't you talk...
to other moms a lot?
We don't understand each other well.
For example,
other moms say sons can stay out late...
while daughters can't.
I asked them why,
and they answered that the world is too dangerous.
Why is it only daughters?
Don't they realize sons can become perpetrators?
Shouldn't they come home early too?
- You have a point. - That's right.
But they don't teach their children that.
(You're right.)
Your mom is an expert.
She and you must have had many conversations.
She must have listened to you and given you a lot of freedom.
Wasn't that nice?
She is very strict about a few things.
- Many kids have a curfew, right? - Yes.
We didn't,
but when the sun sets...
- You have to come home? - We have to come home.
Kids have pajama parties, right?
But when I asked Mom, she said,
- "No. It's dangerous." - She said no?
- It's at a friend's place. - Yes.
It was at a friend's place,
- but she still said no. - A pajama party?
Can there be perpetrators at pajama parties too?
She definitely sounds strict.
I majored in singing,
so I went to see many performances.
When I go to a concert,
I turn off my phone.
The first time I turned off my phone,
when I turned it back on, I got a call from someone I didn't know.
It was a police officer.
Turns out, my mom made a report.
She reported you missing?
She reported her daughter missing.
During her college,
she never turned off her phone even in class.
It was the first time.
- When she was at the concert? - Yes.
It occurred to me that delayed preliminary investigation...
- can put her in danger. - "Preliminary investigation"?
(The golden hour can't be missed.)
(She was serious about the importance of making a report.)
You watch too much news.
- She has a point. - She is right.
- She is right. - I'm too anxious.
The golden hour.
(You worry too much.)
What about this?
Now that she is in college,
she must want to go on trips with her friends.
Can't she do that?
- How is it? - It really upsets me.
- My friends and I were planning... - A trip?
- a trip to the beach. - You should go.
When I told my mom,
she said it was too dangerous for girls to travel by ourselves.
She said if I had to go...
I had to ask Dad to drive...
- for us. - She told you to go with your dad?
What has your friends have done wrong?
Why would they travel with your dad?
She said I could also take my brother.
(With her brother?)
When you have a boyfriend, you will never be able to travel with him.
I can't even travel with my friends. So how could I travel...
- with my boyfriend? - Right.
Did you make up your mind to never let her sleep out?
If she's going on a school trip or a company trip, she can go.
But if it's just 2 to 3 girls,
I am too worried to let her go.
What about sleeping at her friend's?
- I've slept at my friend's too. - Yes.
My mother let me sleep at my friend's because...
my friend was living only with her mother.
She had neither a brother nor a father. That's why I could go.
You can't go to a house with a brother and a father?
What if she stays at her friend's for a night,
and her father is a police officer?
Isn't that okay?
- Even so, that's not okay. - Really?
It's not okay.
Can she do this? What if she and her friends...
spend a night at a police station?
How about that?
Is there something safer than that?
- That's very safe. - That's very safe.
- No, that's not safe. - That's not safe.
She can't stay at a police station?
No. She can't do that.
So she can't sleep outside.
Is it okay if she goes outside at night to meet her friend?
It's fine if she tells me ahead of time.
This happened one time.
She once went outside at night to jump-rope.
It was time for her to come back, but she didn't come back.
Someone came to meet her,
and she went to meet the person. So I yelled at her for it.
I said, "I treat you like a precious person,"
"but you made yourself an unimportant person..."
"who is always available, and that made me upset."
She can meet her friend only when her friend is in danger,
when she's depressed to the point of death,
or when she needs comfort. "Mom, she's in danger."
You want her to meet her friend only in those situations?
In the middle of the night.
It was midnight at the time.
We talked to her only briefly.
I can't imagine how hard it must've been for her.
- It must've been tough for her. - I can understand her.
She must've gone through so much.
(Ads 00:39:05 --> 00:40:06)
Let's hear from her little sister.
Have you ever gotten into a conflict because of your boyfriend?
Yes. We are devout Christians, you see.
When Mom saw my boyfriend at the time,
she said he had bad spiritual energy.
(He had bad spiritual energy.)
She told me to break up with him.
He had bad spiritual energy.
Yes. So I always fought with Mom while dating him.
How could I break up with him when she didn't even...
explain to me the proper reason for it?
I dated another person after that person.
And she didn't like him either.
When I had asked her what kind of a person she wants me to meet,
Mom had said, "As long as you love him, anyone is fine."
She had said that.
But it turns out she didn't actually mean it.
He has to love you and be spiritually beautiful.
I thought she was going to date him only for a short while,
but she dated him for quite a long time.
I thought I couldn't just sit and watch.
That's why I tried to break it off.
It wasn't about his spirit. You just didn't want her to date him, right?
(Did she use it as an excuse?)
Right. I just thought...
he would have a personality problem.
That's what I didn't like.
Your ex-boyfriend must be watching this.
He might have grown a lot spiritually.
(Thanks to her mom, he might have grown spiritually.)
Your mother's standards...
are so strict that they must suffocate you.
Have you struggled a lot because of them?
Yes. It was when I was in high school.
Watching a movie, dining out, and going to a cafe...
all cost money.
But the money I had was nowhere enough for it.
So I told Mom that I want to get a part-time job.
She said I couldn't.
She said I couldn't earn money with such a dissipated purpose.
A dissipated purpose?
She told me that.
After 10pm,
I can't talk to people using any forms of communication.
- After 10pm? - Yes.
She said it would be considered the invasion of privacy.
We fought so much about that.
You are talking about when you were in middle school, right?
Did she give that restriction...
- when you were in middle school? - No.
Even now,
Even now, I can't message or call people.
- After 10pm? - Yes.
People teased me and called me 10pm Cinderella.
I got teased for a while.
What are the other things you absolutely can't do?
In high school, I was young, so I understand it.
I couldn't get my hair permed or dyed, or get my ears pierced.
She told me I should do it when I become an adult.
I am an adult now, but even now when I do it,
she complains about it.
"Right. Do whatever you want."
"But do it when you move out."
(I won't let you do it in front of my eyes.)
Did she now allow you to get your ears pierced?
I pierced all my ears anyway.
(She did everything she wanted anyway.)
My ears are already pierced. But there's something I want.
I told Mom...
that I will save up and get double eyelid surgery.
She said I could never do it.
It's not like I was asking her for money.
I was going to pay for it on my own.
She said if it goes wrong,
I'd be stuck with those eyes for the rest of my life.
That's...
It's upsetting. It's...
- That's understandable. - Great.
- She's upset. - She's got a strong personality.
It's funny. It's so funny.
How can she use the stove when it might set fire to the house?
- Right. - How can she eat?
The food might make her sick. How can you live life like that?
(That made us feel so refreshing.)
She always tells me things assuming that...
something will go wrong. I think it's ridiculous.
You came here because of the surgery, didn't you?
(Is that why she came here?)
- She wants to do it. - She wants to do it.
(Is that it?)
Then have you never permed or dyed your hair?
I've never permed my hair. I've dyed my hair once.
- That's... - Mom yelled at me a lot for it.
She said I influenced my sister.
- Really? - Because of you?
Someone walking past me saw my hair and said,
"How lovely is her long, black hair?"
My daughter is not a bad child. But if she has bad hair,
people might say, "Isn't she a delinquent?"
I hate to see that happening.
- A lot of people have dyed hair. - There.
There's someone.
I don't want people to think that.
Is Min Hyun a delinquent too then?
- I dyed my hair. - That color is fine.
But let's make things clear.
Long hair is your preference.
No. I am not growing it because it's my preference.
I am growing it to donate my hair.
Donating hair is a good thing to do.
But you can't tell everyone to do it.
- To donate it. - I'm not saying everyone should.
My eldest daughter could donate her hair.
But because my second daughter talked her into dying her hair,
she lost the chance.
(She's like a living ethics textbook.)
By the way, the girls are adults now.
You still don't let them text after 10pm?
When they make a call, they should do it before 7pm.
If it's an emergency, and if they have to ask about homework,
they should call before 9pm.
If they call after those hours,
their friend might be having a family meeting or dinner.
They might interrupt...
- their friend's family time. - Family meeting?
You might disturb them from enjoying their family time.
It sounds as if you are living...
the time just after the liberation.
Right.
(Korea News)
(News Fragments)
(Evening is for family meetings...)
(and family dinners.)
(Make calls before 7pm.)
(Even if it's an emergency, make the call before 9pm.)
Why did you stop her from getting a part-time job?
I stopped her...
because she was going to earn to spend on leisurely things.
If she runs out of that money too, she might go into a bad direction.
For example, she might think about working at a stripping...
I went a bit too far there.
A stripping bar?
You sometimes hear such things on the news.
Thieves say they stole something because they want to play.
You've watched too much news.
News feature those stories, but the world isn't that scary.
- You go too deep. - That's right.
You worry too much.
When your daughter says something about doing something,
you think, "But when you do that, this will happen. Then..."
(No!)
- You do that. - Right.
- In her mind, - She thinks too deep.
she's already in an accident.
(Her daughter's one word is enough for her to imagine that.)
She's too worried.
The more she talks,
the happier the man with a lot of hobbies gets.
Look at him.
- His laughter is... - He seems so pleased.
He is smiling, thinking "She's worse than me."
He's smiling too brightly.
(But she can't laugh.)
Your little sister...
brought her friend.
Are you the one who is spiritually bad?
- No. No. - Are you the one?
(Is he the one who is spiritually bad?)
(He looks like a good friend.)
Can you really not reach her...
- after 10pm? - No.
One time, after 10pm,
I had to ask her something, so I called her.
As soon as she answered, she said she couldn't...
talk on the phone after 10pm and hung up right away.
- My goodness. - Why did she answer it then?
(Why did she answer it?)
So I sent her a message.
She said she's not supposed to text after 10pm, but I could...
talk to her if it's really important.
I thought it wasn't...
that important, so I just didn't ask her.
(His superb ability to judge a situation shakes the studio.)
Well done.
- Well done. - That was funny.
It has to be something very important.
In my case, I am very free...
after work.
When I ask her to go to a coin karaoke or go for a walk,
she says she can't go unless she tells her mom a day before...
or in the morning.
I thought that must be very inconvenient.
So an unarranged meet-up is never a thing for her.
Can't a guy ask you to join his friends for drinks?
(We want to socialize like other people.)
It'd be fine if she does it only to her family.
Does she act so inflexible...
to other people too?
- She's similar to other people. - Is she similar?
When she rides an escalator at a subway station,
she makes sure two people stand on one row.
People are often in a rush, so they just run down.
One person cursed at her while passing by her.
- The person passing by her did. - Yes.
People complain,
so I wish she would give way to people.
If they are in a hurry, they can use the stairs.
It says it there that two people are supposed to stand in one row.
You are right.
But let's say that person is in a big hurry.
He's so much in a hurry that he has to run down.
One of his parents might be dying, or someone might be in danger.
- What about in that situation? - There are stairs.
But you have to move quickly.
You'd do that just to save 1 to 2 minutes?
(She can't let it happen.)
- Before we scold... - You are inflexible.
children for not listening,
adults should set a good example for them.
But that person might be in an emergency.
- They can't explain it to you. - It's...
I get her now.
While talking to me, she just stopped.
She just insists what she believes is right.
- She's very stubborn. - Yes.
In fact, you are right.
But your daughter doesn't feel comfortable hearing...
- another person cursing at you. - I think...
she's worried about me.
(Can't you be a little more flexible?)
By the way,
because she's been a counselor for a long time,
she is armed with theories.
I don't think you'd be able to beat her with logic. What do you say?
Mom is very stubborn, you know.
Even if I tell her what I want, she won't listen.
So I end up avoiding her.
- You avoid her. - She always says the right things.
Something that happened at work made me tired and sad,
so I told Mom about it.
She said I was at fault...
and that I should apologize.
I felt so sad that I got tearful.
But all the tears went away.
- She didn't sympathize with you. - She's family.
She's not a judge.
(I feel bad for her.)
I like that she's wise...
and that she always says the right things.
But she's too suffocating.
- She's suffocating. - Yes.
(That's how her children feel.)
How should I say it?
She can't be bent.
So...
Please beat her.
(That was an unexpected conclusion.)
How can we do what you guys can't do?
(Cheer up, MCs.)
(You can do it.)
What are you most worried about?
Actually, I want to try doing many things.
But I know Mom will be against it. So I didn't get to tell her.
- Especially... - What is it?
- Traveling. - I knew it.
- I told her... - I...
I knew it.
I plan months ago.
(Everyone understands her.)
I told her months ago,
but she said I couldn't go. She said it was dangerous.
She said she would join my friends.
She said she wants to travel abroad.
I told her to make a plan to travel with her sister.
She asked if she could do that, so I told her she could.
And she said she had never thought about that.
(She wants to travel with her friends.)
Despite the fact that there are many ladies here,
they don't seem to sympathize with you.
You can feel that, right?
No. I was busy looking at my daughter, so I didn't notice it.
(She was too busy looking at her daughter.)
So many people are sighing.
Her ears are closed.
(You still don't know it?)
(Press the button.)
(Even her son gets upset.)
I heard you gave your comments on the people who had...
previously been on Hello.
We will ask her some questions.
There was a father who made his son do everything he wants.
He told his son to become a priest when he grows up.
- Right. There was that. - There was that story.
What did you think about him? You remember him, don't you?
I think it's bad to force your child to pursue your dream.
- Right. - I told my children...
that it's okay to be a bad student and to play.
I always told them they should find what they want to do.
All right.
Let's move onto the next story.
There was this mother who didn't let her adult daughter...
drink, smoke, or sleep outside. The mother stopped...
her daughter from doing everything. Her 20-year-old daughter...
came here to talk to us. You remember them,
- don't you? - I do.
What do you say about them?
The mother just said,
"You shouldn't drink or smoke. You can't sleep outside."
She forced her child what to do. I think she should've...
suggested to her child what to do.
- How about you? - She used the word "force".
You could see that the parent was forcing the child, right?
When we hear you speak, that's what we see.
(We can see the same thing from you.)
They can't go to their friends'. They can't do this and that.
That's forcing.
(Isn't stopping her children from doing things forcing?)
The reason why we are showing you the old stories...
is because we believe when a parent...
forces her children what to do,
it actually brings negative consequences.
We can see that you are rather similar to them.
What your daughter wants...
is going on a trip with her friends.
Can you let her go on the trip?
(Can you let her go on a trip abroad with her friends?)
With friends. Yes or no?
(She wants to travel with her friends, not with her family.)
No.
- I am curious. - She is inflexible.
(She didn't open her heart.)
Watching you, I thought of this.
You said you are growing your hair to donate it for wig making.
Your second daughter is doing things that people of...
her age would dream to do. She's such a nice kid.
But when you put things the way you did, it gave me this idea.
(Her standard is very strict.)
"Her mother is growing her hair..."
"to donate to someone unfortunate."
"So why did her daughter dye her hair? What's wrong with her?"
No, that's not what I thought.
But that's what came up in my mind.
When you compare your daughter to you, she looks like a bad kid.
- Can I think that way? - No.
Because...
your standard is so high,
despite the fact that she's only doing what she should be doing,
she seems bad for no reason.
(They have the right to dream, but they can't.)
You are so upright and decent...
that other people might judge you children with the same standard.
I am the strange one, right?
(Should she not be worried?)
(She remains quiet to think.)
- Because you are... - You tend to make...
- other people seem bad. - Yes.
That's what happens.
That's what it seems.
(Her high standard makes everyone bad.)
I know she's wise.
So I think she should find a way to communicate...
with her children in a more liberated way.
Ha Neul, whatever you do, I believe in you.
I know that you can do everything well.
So...
(Will she open her heart?)
As long as I can be assured that you will be safe, I can let you go.
You can even study abroad if you like.
I will respect and follow your decision.
(We will cheer for her mother's change.)
All right. Is it a worry or not?
(He hesitates.)
- Think of her as your mother. - Think of her as your mother.
(Aron thinks it's a worry.)
I think her desire to be...
a good mother is too high.
I am worried that her firm belief and values...
she forces upon her children...
might hinder her children from seeing her as a good mother.
I think it's a big worry.
I think it's a worry.
If I think about what kind of a mother I want to be,
I don't want to be a judge-like mother who judges...
what they do is right or wrong.
I want to be a mother who is like a friend.
I want to be a mother who can understand the child...
even at times when the child makes a mistake.
Whenever she watches TV, her mother preaches to her.
And she's worried because of that mother of hers.
She came to us for help.
You can only press it once.

"The Scented House".
Hello.
(I love him.)
I've been married for 7 years, and I am in my 30s.
When we were dating, my husband was the biggest smoker.
"If you don't quit smoking, I won't marry you. All right?"
"All right."
"I will quit it right away."
He actually succeeded to quit smoking.
But as soon as we went on a honeymoon...
(Smoking)
"This feels so good."
"What's going on? Didn't you quit smoking?"
"This is not a cigarette."
"It's an electronic cigarette."
Since then, he's been addicted to electronic cigarette.
"Honey, do you want to smell this?"
"It smells like coffee."
(Laughing)
"This one's strawberry."
"This is mint."
(I hate it.)
"Didn't I tell you not to smoke indoors?"
"Electronic cigarettes are okay."
"This is just vapor, okay?"
He says electronic cigarettes are okay and smokes every 10 minutes.
(He smokes every 10 minutes.)
Thanks to him, our house is always full of steam...
as if it's a sauna.
What's upsetting is that...
we have a 5-year-old son...
and a 100-day-old daughter.
- What? - What?
But he still hasn't come to his senses.
"Honey!"
"Can you please not smoke in front of the kids?"
"Fine. But you see,"
"electronic cigarettes are completely fine."
(Frustrated)
It doesn't matter what kind. I hate all types.
Can you please help him quit?
(Please help him quit.)
I can't really say much because I smoke...
electronic cigarettes as well.
- But I'm unique. - Why?
I've quit for many years...
and only started smoking them after they were released.
- Electronic cigarettes? - Yes.
Min Hyun, do you have a habit you want to break free from?
For me,
I've already broken free. It's my nails.
(Impressed)
I used to bite my nails.
How does it feel to always get applauded?
(It's great.)
- I fixed my dialect. - I see.
This woman is stressed out due to her husband's smoking habits.
Please come on out!
(Who is this woman who's tortured by her husband's smoking habits?)
Go and greet her.
(Welcome)
How much does he smoke?
He's pretty much an addict. He smokes all the time.
Since he smoked so much,
I told him that I wouldn't marry him...
- unless he quit. - You gave him an ultimatum.
I told him to quit.
He said okay and actually quit.
But as soon as the wedding was over,
- he smoked immediately. - Immediately.
- "This tastes the best!" - Beside you.
The moment they walked down the aisle, he took it out.
At our honeymoon,
- Honeymoon? - he smoked...
an electronic cigarette.
On honeymoons, you do activities...
- such as water-skiing. - Right.
He'd carry his electronic cigarette in a waterproof bag.
In a waterproof bag?
We'd usually pack our valuables, but that's what he packed.
My gosh.
And in the airplane, he asked a stewardess...
if he could smoke his electronic cigarette.
- He can't, right? - No.
- No. - What did she say?
She was flustered and just smiled. She couldn't hit him, right?
- She just smiled and said no. - He thought it'd be okay...
because it's just vapor?
Yes, that's why.
So he started smoking then.
He used to smoke every 30 minutes,
but now, he smokes every 10 minutes.
That's how often he smokes.
He has about six electronic cigarettes at home.
- He has six of them? - Yes.
- My goodness. - He took it down a notch.
He used to have 10.
- So... - My gosh.
Can you tell me about the smells?
There are many. Watermelon,
- coffee, and caramel macchiato. - Coffee?
- Caramel macchiato? - My goodness.
- There's chocolate as well. - Chocolate?
- There's a variety. - But...
he quit smoking regular cigarettes and has moved on.
Do you want him to quit smoking electronic cigarettes too?
Not really. But now,
I'd rather him smoke regular cigarettes.
He smokes too much.
Isn't it worse since he smokes indoors around the kids?
Right, that's the problem.
He smokes while watching TV.
He smokes while lying down.
And since there's a variety of smells,
he brings home new ones...
and smokes them under the pretext of letting me smell it.
Your husband's pretty much...
like an indoor steam engine.
- Right. - He keeps emitting steam.
- He's Thomas the Tank Engine. - Right.
My son is five years old.
My daughter is 100 days old.
So I told him not to smoke indoors.
- Right. - Yes.
I told him to smoke outside.
But he just considers it nagging.
That guy has his own room.
- There's a veranda. - He has his own room.
- You keep saying "that guy". - Oh, right.
- Are you guys friends? - We're the same age.
- Oh, you are? - I see.
Gyeongsang-do dialect is a bit like that.
He smokes in the bathroom too.
He brings 3 to 4 different flavors.
- 3 to 4? - Yes, he brings that many.
- My eyes water. - They water?
And I cough and feel suffocated.
We've asked her...
to take a photo of her house.
It was hard to capture the steam through the camera.
- Right, since it's vapor. - Right.
- It wasn't that visible. - I see.
- I see it. - It's thick.
- I can see it. - It's thick.
- Is it? - It must be worse in real life.
It wouldn't look like that with just one cigarette. Oh, my.
In the living room too?
(A lot of steam is visible even in the living room.)
The living room is shared...
- by everyone. - Right.
That steam lasts quite a while.
- Yes, you're right. - It doesn't disappear that quickly.
Since my husband carries it with him all the time,
our son became curious and put it in his mouth once.
(Their son put it to his mouth.)
My goodness.
- Right, they do that. - He watched him.
- He was curious. - He thought it was a snack...
and put it to his mouth. I was so shocked.
I ended up getting mad at him.
Gosh, I've never heard...
of a parent smoking indoors...
- with his kids around. - I know.
This is serious.
Let's meet her husband. Hello.
Hello.
(Who is this man who smokes indoors around his kids?)
In what state did you come to our show today?
Are you interested in quitting?
No. I have no plans to quit smoking electronic cigarettes.
I don't think this is something to argue about.
But since we kept fighting about it, I decided to come here.
I want her to understand.
But you said that you'd quit smoking before getting married.
Back then, I had to get married, so I lied through my teeth.
(Did you believe that?)
- My goodness. - He lied through his teeth.
I haven't heard that in a while.
(That's not something to lie about.)
He lied through his teeth. Looking at the photos,
I'm sure your house is covered in a lot of steam.
When I'm doing number two in the bathroom,
it tends to be easier if I smoke.
It becomes easier.
- You're right. - He's right.
A long time ago,
I used to smoke almost three packs a day.
But it turns out, smoking has nothing to do with it.
- It's actually better if you don't. - Back then...
Back then, that's what I thought. But what I can't understand is,
- you have your wife and kids. - Exactly.
I'm sure you know how harmful secondhand smoking is.
I don't smoke in front of her face.
Oh, come on. Who smokes like this?
(Wait)
- I smell mint. - I don't do that.
When my kids come into my room while I'm smoking,
I tell them that they need to knock beforehand.
I tell them to leave and also teach them that it's wrong.
- You can smoke outside. - Exactly.
It's such a hassle.
I think thinking this way could help you quit.
People don't go out easily due to fine dust.
Imagine that you're creating that fine dust...
in your own home.
- You're creating it on your own. - Right.
I know some people who have passed away by lung cancer...
due to secondhand smoking.
But such cases haven't occurred with electronic cigarettes.
I think it's fine.
(What is he talking about?)
Just because the results aren't out,
you can't experiment on your family.
- You're pretty much experimenting. - Right.
Are your kids here as well?
- Only my son. - The five-year-old?
- There he is. - Here he comes.
- He's so cute. - How adorable.
His parents are both good-looking,
- so is he. - How adorable.
- Oh, my. - He's so cute.
How is he so cute?
Hi. I'm the mister from "Animal Farm".
(He looks dazed.)
Hi. How old are you?
[VIU Ver] E411 Hello Counselor "Addiction" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(I don't want to talk.)
He doesn't want to talk.
He doesn't like the cigarette smell on his dad.
- Goodness. - What would you do...
if your son becomes curious about smoking at an early age...
because of you?
If he's smoking behind my back, I can't really do much.
- But... - I try to stop him.
But you don't have the right to say anything.
As a smoker, you can't tell him to quit.
And you said it's not harmful.
It's just harmless strawberry flavor.
I should tell him to start smoking when he turns 20.
(I won't smoke.)
It doesn't seem like...
- he wants to quit. - No, he doesn't.
Recently, one of his friends...
almost died from cardiac infarction.
I thought he passed away.
- He survived. - He did?
- What a relief. - He did, but he collapsed...
- while drinking with my husband. - Really?
- Oh, my goodness. - But it didn't faze him.
And when he drinks, he drinks until he collapses.
He goes out at 7pm...
and returns home at 7am, the latest.
(He drinks for almost 12 hours.)
He drinks until he blacks out.
To the point where he can't recognize anyone.
That's serious.
During my last month of pregnancy when the baby could come any minute,
he went out at night to drink.
- My gosh. - You worry the most then...
- since you never know. - Right.
Exactly. I didn't know.
- I was a week early. - You must've been nervous.
- Of course. - Was your husband with you?
He was, but he suddenly had an emergency.
He spent the night with me.
- If not, I would've panicked. - Exactly.
Not only does he smoke a lot,
but he drinks a lot as well.
So of course, I'm worried about his health.
At first when I saw my friend collapse,
I told myself that I should cut down.
But the morning after, I forgot about everything.
He's driving me crazy.
- He's so optimistic. - Don't sleep so you won't forget.
(He is addicted to smoking and drinking.)
His ally is here today.
- Hello. - Hello.
Please introduce yourself.
I have been his friend for 20 years. I have even seen his balls.
My goodness.
When you are on TV, refer to them as testicles.
(Refer to them as testicles.)
- Then it's fine. - We are best friends.
"Testicles" sounds better.
(Proud)
Do you smoke as well?
No, I quit.
Your friend quit.
- When? - I quit,
but my friend asks me...
to smoke electronic cigarettes.
(His friend asks him to smoke electronic cigarettes.)
- That happens between friends. - Right.
- That happens between friends. - "It's okay. It's only vapor."
For how long have you quit smoking?
It has been six days.
(It has been 6 days since he quit smoking.)
(He is ridiculous!)
For goodness' sake.
You are holding out so far.
I hope you quit. It's crucial for your health.
Do you understand your friend?
- Your friend's wife. - That's right.
Although I am his friend, I understand her.
I see.
(Kye Young wins and her husband loses.)
When he buys the electronic cigarette liquid,
he buys a lot at a time.
He buys the amount that will last six months.
(He buys the amount that will last 6 months.)
When he drinks, he drinks a lot.
He goes to the 4th and 5th round.
However, I also understand my friend.
(Kye Young loses and her husband wins.)
He and Kye Young are the same age,
so they fight a lot.
They swear at each other.
(What?)
At the beginning of our relationship,
we got into a bad fight.
She suddenly called me, "A son of..."
(His wife called him, "A son of...")
- She used a bad swear word. - "A son of..."
"A son of..."
(Why did you do that?)
(Embarrassed)
It didn't seem right.
In the end, I called her names, too.
- You swore at each other. - That's right.
I said, "You b..."
(Shocked)
We fight that way.
Sometimes, when she gets angry,
she calls me names in front of her mother.
It makes me upset.
I want her to control herself.
She does that in front of her mother.
What does your mother say when you do that?
"I told you not to marry that son of a..."
(My goodness.)
He didn't uphold his promise...
to quit smoking.
He has no right to ask me to quit swearing.
You won't quit swearing if he doesn't quit smoking.
Why would I do that?
(An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.)
Your son is five years old. He will get bigger.
You might think that children don't know,
- but they know everything. - That's right.
It will have a bad effect on him.
For your child,
you shouldn't swear.
(Please use pretty words.)
There must be a reason why you came to Hello.
Is your husband okay except for that one problem?
He is a bit patriarchal.
When there is an ancestral rite, I go to my in-laws' place to cook.
But he goes out...
to drink with his friends.
After I had my second child,
I became a stay-at-home mom. It has only been 5 or 4 months.
I had worked for more than 10 years.
When my mother-in-law scolds me,
he doesn't side with me.
He goes, "It's your job now. You should watch and learn."
"It's your job now."
When my wife was a working mom,
I washed the dishes, did and hung the laundry,
and cleaned the house.
(That didn't last.)
Since she is a stay-at-home mom now,
she should do...
the household chores.
You need to do them together.
Instead of helping,
- you need to do your part. - That's right.
It all depends on how you say those words.
- That's right. - "You are..."
"a stay-at-home mom. Do all household chores."
Those words can hurt her feelings.
My husband really is patriarchal.
Before he got married,
he never called his parents.
Now that he is married,
he tells me to call his parents.
"Why should I do that? Call them yourself."
Then he goes, "You are the daughter-in-law."
I am disappointed in my wife in that regard.
When I asked her to call my parents,
she said, "She is your mom. Call her yourself."
When she said that,
I was freaking furious.
Come on.
You need to use nicer words.
Do you call your mother-in-law?
I call her once a day.
(It's unexpected.)
(She doesn't know what to do.)
(That's incredible.)
I call her once a day.
- Then he could be disappointed. - I tell her how my day has been.
I also video call her to show her the children.
I don't need to call my in-laws...
(Why doesn't she need to call her in-laws?)
Because they live five minutes away.
(They live 5 minutes away.)
They live close.
My grandparents-in-law live on the first floor...
of our apartment building.
Your grandparents-in-law live on the first floor.
I visit my in-laws 5 or 6 times a week.
- Then... - She doesn't need to call.
She visits them 5 or 6 times a week.
(He only laughs.)
They sometimes visit unannounced.
- Then the house is a mess. - That's right.
My mother-in-law goes, "Clean up the house."
"Vacuum the floor."
"Make some dishes."
Even when I tell my husband that it's uncomfortable,
he claims his parents are the best.
He claims his parents don't nag a lot.
Why didn't you say, "Tell your son to do that"?
- I wanted to say that. - How could she say that?
How could she say that?
Would you be able to be that honest?
I am getting angry.
How would you feel...
if your in-laws visit unannounced all the time?
I would hate that.
- It would be uncomfortable. - I hate it...
when people come unannounced.
- I know. - It doesn't matter who does it.
Even if my in-laws have come to help,
I would feel pressured.
Yong Jin, what do you think?
I think it would be nice.
What would be nice? Having people visit unannounced?
I got married a week ago.
My parents-in-law will watch this show.
I got married a week ago,
so I can't say, "I would hate that."
(Mother-in-law, are you watching this?)
Young couples...
fight a lot over these matters.
The husband doesn't attend a rite for his ancestors.
- "Why do I need to cook..." - Right.
"for other family's ancestors?"
The wives get annoyed.
In this case,
the husband needs to be a good mediator.
That's right. He needs to be a good mediator.
Then there won't be a problem.
If you simply tell your wife that it's her duty,
she will be defiant.
Put yourself in her shoes.
Let's say your in-laws visit all the time.
"Don't smoke electronic cigarettes!"
They tell you that repeatedly. How would you feel?
They wouldn't do that to a son-in-law.
How would you feel if they tell you that repeatedly?
I would get stressed out.
- You would get stressed out. - Yes.
It's the same thing.
(That's what I am going through.)
(I am getting angry.)
After he comes back from work,
he doesn't eat dinner.
(What is that about?)
When I ask him why he isn't eating dinner,
he goes, "You need to make dinner."
When I tell him to set the table himself,
he goes he doesn't want to sacrifice...
man's pride.
Man's pride?
It hurts my pride...
to set the table.
My wife can't cook very well.
When we were newlyweds,
I gritted my teeth and said the dishes are tasty.
But as time went on, the dishes began to taste like poop.
- Did you really have to say that? - Why did you say that?
For goodness' sake.
(She is swearing with her facial expression.)
When I told her that her dishes aren't tasty,
- she began to give me instant food. - She lost confidence.
For children,
I want her to make mixed vegetables...
and other kinds of nutritious dishes.
- For children's health? - Yes.
If you care about their health, why do you smoke so much?
Seriously.
(The comment lightens everyone's heart.)
(My goodness.)
(I hate the smell of Dad's cigarette more.)
It seems like there are many problems.
What are some specific things you want from your husband?
Honey. I am thankful that...
you listened to me and quit smoking regular cigarettes.
But electronic cigarettes also contain nicotine.
For our children, don't smoke them at home.
I also hope you will help me with household chores...
even if I am a stay-at-home mom.
Got it?
Kye Young did everything else right...
but learning that she swears made me lose respect.
It made me forget about everything you did right.
You need to use nice words.
You want your wife...
to be like your mom,
but you should know that your wife is incredible.
These days, women don't want to have children...
for their sake.
Then there are so many things women have to do.
These days, women don't do that.
Why are you whispering?
Why?
(They are a great duo.)
I want him to listen.
(Okay!)
We did some research on electronic cigarettes.
Ministry of Food and Drug Safety...
says they are harmful.
But electronic cigarette company says they are harmless.
Their arguments clash.
If we combine material from the World Health Organization,
there is no ground for the claim...
that electronic cigarettes are more harmless than the regular ones.
Since nicotine is addictive,
electronic cigarettes aren't effective...
in quitting smoking.
Can you listen to your wife's request?
To be honest,
(Expectant)
I can't promise that I will quit.
I will do my best to smoke less.
Kye Young, in any case,
I am sorry. I was in the wrong.
He is cool.
From now on, I will help with the household chores.
Let's try to become parents...
who won't be an embarrassment to our children.
That's good.
(Please keep your promise.)
Let's begin with the guests. Da Eun, go first.
I hope he will begin with going outside to smoke...
and ultimately quit smoking altogether.
I think it's a worry.
When I think about their children, it's a worry.
He needs to make an effort.
I also think it's a worry.
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.
Let's see the result for "The Scented House".
This worry won't get more votes than the current winner.
(The mother and daughter team will win.)
Show us the result.
140 votes.
- That's a lot. - That's a lot.
Thus, "When Will Hello End?"...
wins this week.
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.
