(Comedian, Ji Sang Yeol)
How handsome.
Player Kim Yo Han!
Hello. Hello.
Why is a player so good-looking.
- Singer Ben. - Ben!
She's pretty.
Lena and Anne from GWSN.
(Lena, Anne)
(Welcome)
- He's the star of volleyball. - He's so good-looking.
It's his first time on our show.
I heard you have a reason for coming here.
He does?
The sole reason why I came here is because...
of Yeong Ja.
What about her?
- I... - Are you serious?
- Yes. - Why me?
I really like her.
- Really? - It's your time.
Come on. Not only are you tall,
but you have a good eye for women.
(What does she mean?)
- You have high standards. - I've been listening,
and it sounds like a tragedy.
Right.
- A tragedy? - Does it sound that bad?
How tall are you?
I'm 201cm tall.
- 201cm? - Yes.
- Goodness. - But...
- Ben is... - Why are you sitting...
next to Yo Han?
I wonder why I was assigned to this seat.
If it's okay with you, Ben,
could you two stand up?
- Only I need to stand up. - No, both of you.
- Oh, no. - My goodness.
(He stands up.)
Look at that.
(Amazed)
My gosh.
(The height gap is immense.)
(How's the air up there?)
- He's over 2m. - I don't know where to look.
It could be embarrassing to look at each other from this height.
(They don't know where to look.)
It's a bit...
(Fascinated)
Ben, you don't need to be jealous of his height.
You have the volume of his height.
- Right. - Not at all.
- "Thank You for Goodbye"... - Right.
conquered the charts.
Since you are here, can you sing one bar of it?
- Sure. - You can sing from your seat.
(They love it.)
("Thank You for Goodbye" by Ben)
(It's so lovely, Ben.)
(Let's break up today)
(Stop hating each other and let's not regret more)
(Their ears are delighted.)
(Let's try saying goodbye)
(She ended the relationship with her high-pitched voice.)
She's good.
GWSN, you are still a rookie, aren't you?
Whenever we have a rookie, we ask for a performance.
What do you say?
- Did you prepare anything? - I can impersonate an ostrich.
(She can impersonate an ostrich.)
We don't know if she'll be any good,
but it's certainly a rare talent.
- Will you mimic its behavior? - She's warming up her joints.
- Ostrich. - Start.
(running)
- One more time. - That was cute.
- She's good. - One more time.
- That was great. - One more time.
One more time.
- Start. - She's good.
(She run on the grassland with other ostriches.)
(Isn't she good?)
- She looks just like an ostrich. - That's not easy.
Shall we see a 2m tall ostrich?
Me? How do you do it?
(They are excited to see it.)
This is going to be funny.
- First of all, - This is going to be funny.
- You push your pelvis forward. - That's it.
Lift your leg and point your toe.
Move forward while bouncing your pelvis.
- While bouncing the pelvis? - Yes.
- Start. - Like this?
(The 2m tall ostrich walks.)
- He's good. - He's good.
That's great.
(The ostriches are happy to meet each other.)
(They are good.)
A daddy ostrich and a daughter ostrich.
Since you are standing up, please sing your new song too.
(Please sing your new song.)
("RED-SUN" by GWSN)
(This is exciting.)
(It's amazing.)
(The exciting choreography makes us forget the heatwave.)
Please finish it with the ostrich walk.
(They end it with the ostrich walk.)
(It makes them very happy.)
(GWSN ended the performance with a cute ending.)
- She's so witty. - Good job.
She's good.
All right. We have three worries as always.
Show us the keywords, please.
(The keywords are revealed.)
- I want to see more ostrich walk. - I know.
"I Want to Stop Dreaming".
"Don't Leave". "Unappetizing Worry".
A woman in her 20s sent us this letter.
While reading this letter, I wished we could only get worries like this.
She's got a beautiful heart, so she must have a beautiful voice.
Hello.
Hello, Yo Han.
(That's how a pretty girl greets people.)
You have to get ugly and silly on variety shows,
but you're only tall.
Hello.
I am a housewife in her 20s, who's busy raising two children.
I have one big worry these days.
It's because of this person who keeps trying to leave home.
She's my grandmother who is 92 years old this year.
Actually, she's been raising me...
since I was seven months old.
After I got married, we moved in with my grandmother.
She's a sweet one.
But the problem is my grandmother.
"I want to leave home."
"Grandma, why do you keep saying such a thing?"
"You will be comfortable only when I leave."
"I should die soon."
"I'm living for too long."
It's harder for me not to have her by my side.
But every day she says that she should die soon.
We tried living separately in the past.
Ring, ring, ring. "Why isn't she picking up?"
Ring, ring, ring. "I should go to her."
"Grandma! Grandma!"
"Are you all right, Grandma?"
"What brings you here?"
"I was just watching TV. What's wrong?"
I am worried that something would happen to her...
if my 92-year-old grandmother is left alone.
Worrying about that is more stressful than anything.
I am worried that she would one day just leave home.
It truly worries me.
Please stop my grandmother.
She sent us this letter.
(She wants to live with her grandmother.)
Sang Yeol, do you have memories with your grandparents?
My family is a big family.
- Your family is very big. - Yes. We are a big family.
We used to live with my grandmother from my father's side.
When I was young, grandmothers always kept...
snacks in their inner pockets.
Whenever their grandchildren came, they gave them snacks and cakes.
- They kept those in their pockets. - Right.
- We never know how old they are. - Right.
When you eat something that's that old,
- you are supposed to get sick. - But you don't get sick?
But no grandchildren ever got sick from eating...
the snacks from their grandmothers.
- None. - That's the power of grandmothers.
That's the power of grandfathers.
It's a miracle of love.
It's an unsolved mystery.
Let's bring in the guest.
Please come on out.
Come on out.
(Who's worried about her grandmother who keeps trying to leave home?)
She looks like a kind person.
(Hwang Bo Ra)
She looks like a kind person.
Does she always say, "I should leave home"?
Does she really say that every day?
I wouldn't have taken it seriously if she said it just once or twice.
But she keeps saying it, and it stresses me out.
I suffered from postpartum depression for several months too.
So it's been really tough.
But she's never actually left home, has she?
These days...
- I am just... - What kind of a question is that?
I am just asking her. I wondered if she actually ever left home.
My gosh.
My grandmother raised me...
since I was seven months old.
My father wasn't in the position to raise me.
My mother ran away from home.
They got a divorce.
My grandmother is my mother and my savior.
She's your mother.
Ben is so proud of you.
I am touched.
Then sing for her.
(Will she sing for her then?)
- Should I? - Words can't express your feeling.
(Thank you for saying goodbye)
"Thank you for saying goodbye"?
(But she doesn't want to say goodbye.)
I never knew you were insensitive. That song isn't the right one.
But in the letter you mentioned you have lived separately.
Yes. I got married.
So we lived apart for three years.
Last summer, she...
- collapsed from cardiac infarction. - Oh, dear.
I don't know what would've happened to her...
if I hadn't been next to her at the time.
Did you move in with her after that happened?
Yes. After that happened...
(The sad memory makes her emotional.)
- You moved in with her? - I became too anxious.
After that happened, we moved in with her.
That's good.
I fix the meal for her. She can't...
We don't use a gas stove.
- Excuse me. - You don't use a gas stove.
(Whenever she thinks of her grandmother, she gets emotional.)
We use an electric stove.
She can't use it.
She only knows how to open the rice cooker.
Is there nobody else...
who can take care of her?
She's got three sons...
and one daughter.
My eldest uncle died of heart attack last year.
My second uncle has gone out of reach. It's been several years.
My aunt isn't well off, so she has to work.
So nobody else is available to take care of her.
(She's such a devoted granddaughter.)
Her grandmother raised her, so it's understandable for her.
- But for her husband... - I think he's amazing.
- Her husband is amazing. - I know.
Doesn't your husband find it uncomfortable?
You are still newlyweds.
My grandmother uses a chamber pot.
So the room smells a little.
My husband became insensitive and said,
"Don't you smell something?"
It once happened. But now he walks around in his underwear.
He thinks himself as her grandson.
Her granddaughter and grandson-in-law are devoted.
Walking around in underwear is being a devoted son?
I said that without thinking.
(Her grandson-in-law is devoting his entire body.)
Does she want to leave home because of her boyfriend?
She doesn't have one.
How can you be sure? That she's got no boyfriend?
- She's got a high standard. - She's got a high standard?
(She's got a high standard.)
- She's got a high standard. - Since you mentioned it...
You must know her type.
What type of man does she like?
Who's her type?
(Her type is Yo Han.)
She likes a tall person.
She and I like the same type of man.
All right.
We can tell that her grandmother raised her with love.
Let's meet her grandmother.
Please call your grandmother.
Grandma.
- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.
- Let us hear your voice. - She's stylish.
- Hello. - Hello.
Welcome.
Why do you keep wanting to leave home?
They are still newlyweds.
They are newlyweds. I feel sorry.
- You feel sorry. - She feels sorry.
But your granddaughter... Since you have...
a heart condition, you need someone to take care of you.
That's why she wants to continue living with you.
I have a bad stomach too. Nothing in my body is good.
- But... - So you can't stay alone.
When you are alone, you can't eat well.
Can't you just stay with them?
I feel like a burden to them. I feel sorry.
If I have a house I can call my own, I'd feel more relieved.
Would you feel better if they put the house under your name?
That's a great idea.
(I can't take their house.)
What do you do when you're at your granddaughter's house?
They've got a baby who's just a year old.
I'm worried that the baby's going to get hurt while crawling around.
So I follow the baby...
and make sure the baby's safe.
So you are taking care of the second child.
No, I am still a burden.
(I don't think it that way.)
Do you have friends around who you can talk to?
Is there a community center for seniors where you can go?
I moved here just recently,
and I am not very good at making new friends.
But when you are at home,
do you go outside to get some air?
I sometimes go to a park in the morning. There's one nearby.
Aren't there other seniors there?
There are no people who are as old as me.
Their group name...
is GWSN.
- Hello. - Hello.
I don't know which park they stay at, but I've never seen them.
(She's never seen GWSN.)
Which park is it?
(She's so witty.)
- Anne, which park is it? - You should stand out.
We will go to the park where she is.
You should do a nationwide park tour.
(We will go there too.)
You've been raising her since she was seven months old.
Yes.
How did you raise her?
She was so adorable, and I felt bad for her.
- Gosh. - Goodness.
That's all I ever thought about. I never considered her a burden.
She worked at a community center.
She was a public service worker in charge of sweeping streets.
She earned 200 to 250 dollars a month from that.
She raised me with that.
Back then I was still young, so it wasn't tiring.
I wasn't tired. I just felt...
sorry that she never got to call her mom as Mom.
I raise her with that mind.
(She's amazing.)
By the way,
you raised her until she got married.
Now she wants to be...
a strong fence to you. Why do you keep saying you want to leave?
It's because it's not my home.
I feel like a burden to them.
Your granddaughter doesn't know it,
but do you find it uncomfortable to live with your grandson-in-law?
I don't find it uncomfortable.
Then why do you want to leave?
It's just how I feel. I think I will feel more relieved...
when I leave.
(She will feel comfortable only when I leave.)
Let's meet her grandson-in-law...
who is taking care of her...
with her granddaughter. Hello.
Hello.
I am Go San, Bo Ra's husband.
"Bo Ra's husband."
My goodness.
It could feel a little uncomfortable...
to stay with her. What is it like?
When we first started living together, her fragrance...
Yes.
My clothes soaked up the smell.
It made me conscious at work.
But I knew about my wife's situation from the start.
I always knew that she was a mother to her.
So we tried to find ways to make things work.
She's been saying this all along.
She keeps wanting to leave because she doesn't want to burden you.
But I realized this when we tried living apart.
I couldn't concentrate at work.
- You couldn't concentrate. - You were worried.
Yes. When she doesn't...
answer the phone, my wife calls me,
and she tells me to go check on her.
I have to leave in the middle of work.
And it takes a toll on my career.
I work as a manager to celebrities.
- Do you? - Yes.
I work for Eugene and Ki Tae Young.
The couple.
- You are their manager? - Yes.
- Eugene of SBS. - Eugene.
- Eugene. - Yes.
And Ki Tae Young.
Because I'm always at shoots,
I have to ask another manager to take over my job.
Then I go check on her. That happens frequently.
I think she's worried that...
she would add to the financial burden.
I eavesdropped when she was interviewing.
And she said we were in a terrible financial state.
But it all depends on your perspective.
- Right. - We get to eat what we want.
She eats very little.
They only time we spend for her is...
when we buy her medicine once a month.
It doesn't burden us at all.
We are not that poor, Grandma.
(He wanted to clarify it.)
Doesn't she buy...
your children toys?
She gives them 50 dollars from time to time to buy toys.
- My goodness. - Does she get money from somewhere?
We need to ask you.
Where are you getting the money from?
(Where is she getting the money from?)
I get money.
- From the government? - The pension for elders.
The pension. You give that money to the children to buy toys?
You save that money. My goodness.
Why don't you spend that on yourself?
Her being at home...
is good for our children too.
When my wife's doing something else, she keeps her eyes on them...
Of course.
- and it really helps. - Of course.
- I realized that. - Of course.
A lot of husbands take care of children just with their eyes.
Right.
(There are many men who just look at the children.)
You said you appreciate her for looking after the children.
In that sense, she makes your life easier, doesn't she?
She does. I think my wife...
is a little clumsy when it comes to...
raising children. She is just a little...
- bit clumsy. - Your wife?
Yes. For example,
she spends nearly an hour when she washes dishes.
- You had a party, right? - He's attentive.
- Was it the child's birthday? - No.
- "Birthday"? - Our second child is...
only a year old, and she feeds the baby store-bought snacks.
(She feeds the baby store-bought snacks.)
Those things sometimes frustrate me,
but Grandma mediates between us.
If the two of you were left alone, you would fought more, right?
Right.
You are playing a big role in that household.
They need you in the family.
When I am not there, they will live just as well.
(When I am not there, they will live just as well.)
They can't live well.
That's harder for your granddaughter.
Right.
That would last only briefly.
I just want to live alone.
- Still? - Yes.
Do you find it uncomfortable to see him walking around...
in his underwear?
(Is she uncomfortable seeing him walking around in his underwear?)
I just have to not see him.
(She can choose not to see him.)
You understand most things.
But aren't there times when you feel sad...
because your wife centers everything around her grandmother?
I feel a little sad...
because I consider my parents, Grandma,
and us to be one big family.
But my wife seems to draw a line.
Just a little bit.
"Just a little bit."
It can happen. Anyone can feel that way.
Can you give a more concrete example?
One day, we got some extra money.
I wanted to buy my parents a new refrigerator.
When I said that to my wife, she said the one...
they are using now is perfectly fine.
One time, it was a holiday.
And she said I should visit my family with our first child.
She said she couldn't go anywhere because of her grandmother.
- She just informed me. - She drew the line.
And that made my blood boil.
You want her to discuss things with you.
Because I was so focused on my situation, I got upset.
So we fought.
Why don't you take Grandma with you?
- But she... - I refuse to go.
- She refuses to go. - That's...
You must be short-tempered too.
No.
- She all got it from her. - She answered right away.
(All 3 generations are short-tempered.)
I can understand it.
When we were dating,
my wife said, if her grandmother passes away...
Goodness.
she wants to...
(When my grandmother passes away...)
- die... - She wants to follow her?
with her.
- That's how much... - That's...
(I want to die with her too.)
That's when I realized it. She's a mother to her.
Her grandmother is a mother to her.
She's more than a mother.
(Her grandmother is more than a mother to her.)
Do you still clearly remember...
- Yes. - how she raised you, right?
Yes. When I was in middle and high school,
I gave her a really hard time.
I wandered around at night.
- You were a delinquent. - Yes.
She went around the whole town looking for me.
I remember giving her a hard time.
How did you stop being a delinquent?
One time, Grandma...
made me a toast.
It was really delicious.
- That can happen. - Right.
That made you think that you should go home early.
It was too good.
(I'd cook it for her all the time if it made her come home.)
My grandma attended all the entrance...
and graduation ceremonies during 12 years of school.
She never missed one.
Really?
(Thanks to her good care,)
(she made great memories.)
When did your grandfather pass away?
He passed away when I was in first year of middle school.
He fought laryngeal cancer for three years.
Then did she raise you alone since that time?
Yes. She raised me alone.
She fixed three meals for you?
Yes. She always got me fruits for snacks.
She didn't give me junk food.
So why do you feed your child junk food?
Because I didn't get to have it.
(Did she regret it?)
(They are lovely.)
- That was my first birthday. - That was her first birthday.
When you were young, you looked like a boy.
When was that? My goodness.
- She's lovely. - When was this?
It was when she was in kindergarten. She went on a picnic.
Her grandma has great sense of style.
- Her braided hair is pretty. - She braided her hair.
Did you braid her hair every day?
I had to braid her hair every day.
- Every morning? - Yes.
(She's so sweet.)
(You have such a sweet grandma.)
She's lovely.
- When was that? - She suddenly grew.
It's when she was a delinquent.
- Third year of middle school. - Just looking at the photo,
we can tell how she was at the time.
- She had charisma. - Exactly.
She's unlike other kids.
- That's the wedding photo. - The wedding photo.
The bride is so beautiful.
- It's so touching. - You raised...
your grandmother so well.
How did it feel when she got married?
I felt sorry. I felt sorry.
(Honestly, she felt sorry.)
She's like another person's family now, and I feel sad.
(She feels like her granddaughter is another person's family now.)
(They feel sad too.)
Did you cry when they went on a honeymoon after the wedding?
Yes. I cried a lot.
After the wedding, we went to pick her up.
And she was crying while singing.
(She was crying while singing.)
(She was grateful that her granddaughter grew well,)
(and she was sorry to see her leave her.)
I remember crying with her in the car.
Why did you cry?
She was singing while sobbing.
(She was singing while sobbing.)
It reminded me of the old days.
(It reminded her of the old days.)
(Her grandmother's love is greater than her mother.)
Ma'am, you keep saying...
you feel sorry toward them.
But honestly, there are good things too, right?
There are good things. I get to live comfortably.
And my grandchildren are so lovely too.
- They are your great grandchildren. - Yes.
Do you want to have one more great grandchild?
I tell her to stop having kids.
(She's on her granddaughter's side.)
I tell her to stop having more because it's tough.
You don't want your granddaughter to suffer.
What does your parents say?
"Have more when you can."
They are different.
(We will do what we see fit.)
You wanted to bring your children here.
- Yes. - What's your first son's name?
Go Baek.
- "Go Baek"? - Yes.
- What a great name. - "Go Baek"?
- 'Go Baek". - Baek, come here.
Hello, Baek.
He's so adorable.
Look for your grandma. Where is she?
- Where is Grandma? - He's cute.
Where's Grandma?
He's shy.
Look at him.
My goodness.
- Hello. - Say hello.
Hello, Baek.
(He acts cute.)
He's so adorable.
Baek, where's Daddy?
He's shy.
Where's Grandma?
(He's distracted.)
We should have a talk.
(She's just joking.)
We should have a talk.
(He freezes.)
I always become violent. You talk to him.
Baek, do you like being with Grandma?
- Yes. - Good.
(He nods.)
He's adorable.
Why would you try to leave your adorable grandson?
You won't leave, right?
(He tests her.)
- Okay. - She won't leave.
Really? You won't leave, right?
Yes. Thank you.
The problem is solved.
(The happy ending came easily.)
She always says this, but when she turns back, she says she will leave.
When I get a house of my own, we will live separately.
- She keeps repeating that. - Right.
(Oh, dear.)
- It keeps being repeated. - We thought...
it was solved.
But now...
(We thought it was solved.)
Ma'am, would you have not done this...
if she was your daughter?
(She says yes.)
Then she should've been raised by her mom. Why you?
She's got no mother.
Exactly. So you raised her.
Because she doesn't have a mother.
(So you raised her.)
To your granddaughter, are you a mother or not?
(Is she a mother to her granddaughter or not?)
You think you are her grandmother.
But to her, you are her mother.
You are her mother, so it's okay to live together.
(If you are her mother, it's okay to live with her. Right?)
Before we end it, tell her everything you want to tell her.
Grandma. From now on,
please stop saying you will leave.
(Please stop saying you will leave.)
In my heart, you are my mother.
(Her grandma is a mother to her.)
I can't let you go to another place.
(She can't let her leave home.)
I love you, Grandma.
(I love you, Grandma.)
Ma'am, please say something to your granddaughter.
Bo Ra.
(She calls her granddaughter by her name.)
I am a burden to you, and I feel so sorry.
My gosh.
(She won't stop saying it.)
I want you to stop worrying and live comfortably.
Promise her that you won't leave.
(That's the one thing she wants to hear.)
(What would she decide?)
I will only think about it. I won't say it to you anymore.
(That's a nice twist.)
She'll only think about it?
(You are the best.)
Why don't you say something...
to Go Baek's father, your grandson-in-law?
Thank you, Go Baek's father.
(We will cheer for them to become even tighter.)
And...
(Guest vote)
I think it's a worry.
It must've really worried them.
I think it's such a happy worry.
She's already heard enough...
how much they want her to stay, so...
- You think it's not a worry. - I think it's not a worry.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up.
Let's see how many votes she got.
- "Don't Leave". - What's the last digit? Six.
Is it over 100 votes?
(How many people sympathized with her about her grandmother?)
66 votes.
"I Want to Stop Dreaming".
Hello. I am a woman in her 30s who's worried because of her dream.
Since I was young, my dad passionately cheered for me.
But the problem is that he still does when I am an adult.
"Honey, your dream is to become a singer. You know that, right?"
"I will support you."
My dad still wants me to become a singer.
A trot singer.
(You must become a trot singer.)
"Come to Daejeon tomorrow by 2pm."
"Dad, what are you talking about? It's 1am right now."
"I got you booked for an event."
- "It's a perilla leaf festival." - "Perilla leaf festival"?
"Dress nicely."
To make me a singer,
he keeps booking me for events.
But I have a job.
I am running a clothing store.
"Dad, stop booking me for events."
"I can't close the store."
"You can't even do that when I am begging?"
"Raising a child is all useless."
So I would go to the event just to make him happy.
"You got the lyrics wrong. You didn't practice, did you?"
I am 35 this year.
(She's 35.)
I don't have time nor energy to practice.
More than anything, I don't want to become a singer.
Please help me to make my dad give up the dream of making me a singer.
(Dad, don't force the dream on me.)
- What was it like for you, Yo Han? - I...
Have you been forced to do anything?
Did you want to play basketball?
It was the opposite for me.
I really wanted to become an athlete.
But my dad told me not to become an athlete.
Why?
He said it was a tough path, and I had little chance of success.
Right. But you kept growing taller.
- What else would he do? - When I was young, I was short.
- You were short? - Yes.
How tall were you when you were in middle school?
When I was in first grade, I was 164cm tall.
(When Yo Han was little)
(Who would've thought he would become 2 meters tall?)
When did you grow?
When I took the medical test to join the army, I was 198cm tall.
- Do you still grow? - I grew a little more. 3, 4cm more.
Is there something you particularly liked eating?
I heard beans make you grow.
I ate a lot of beans too.
- You ate too much. - Right.
Anyway...
(Tae Gyun...)
Let's bring out the guest.
(Who's the 35-year-old worried about her father...)
(forcing a dream on her?)
- There she is. - There she is.
(Ju Sang Hui)
By the way, I can see why her dad wants to become a singer.
From up there, she looked at us like this.
You saw her, didn't you?
- You can put it on your lap. - I think she wouldn't hate it.
She looks like she came from a performance.
You have no intention of becoming a singer,
but your father keeps forcing it on you?
Yes. To be honest, I really don't want to do it.
- Oh, no. - She's too nervous.
She's nervous. Do you want to drink some more water?
No, no. I'm fine. I really hate to do it.
- I see. - It's okay. Go on.
Since your father is watching you, you feel more nervous.
That's right. I'm so scared.
- You're scared? - Why?
- Why are you crying? - She hates it that much.
Shall we move your father out of here?
(Shall we move your father out of here?)
What do you think? Shall we cover him?
We just need Yo Han to stand in front of you.
(We can solve the problem as long as Yo Han is here with us.)
In fact, my dad runs a small entertainment agency.
- Oh, your father runs an agency? - Yes.
When the singers in his agency can't go to a scheduled gig,
I perform in the singer's place.
And that's how things end up like this.
I bet you're good enough at singing to replace the singers.
That's not true. I've never learned to sing since I was little.
I'm not a good singer. However, my dad thinks I'm the prettiest...
and the greatest singer.
- So I feel pressured. - I understand how he must feel.
It's normal for a parent.
Didn't you say that it's not your day job?
That's right. I run a clothing store.
However, he calls me in the evening to tell me about a gig at night.
Then I have to call my employees...
to find someone to watch the store and prepare a stage outfit.
So your father doesn't pick you up...
- I have to go by myself. - or send a manager for you?
- That's right. - You drive yourself to the venue?
Do you go all by yourself?
Yes. I prepare everything and go to the venue by myself.
And after finishing the gig, I come back hastily.
I once almost got into an accident while driving in the rain...
to go to a gig.
Oh, gosh.
What exactly happened when you almost got into an accident?
A dump truck was running behind me,
but I couldn't see it.
I narrowly avoided an accident.
I may be worrying unnecessarily, but let me ask you a question.
You didn't come on the show...
to promote you or your father, right?
Why are you being so suspicious?
- Can you swear it? - That's not the reason. Believe me.
- Swear it. - That's not why I'm here.
- You can believe me. - She swore it.
- That's right. I did. - Then let's test her honesty.
Do you think Dong Yeob has close-set eyes or not?
I was so surprised when I saw him...
because he looked so handsome.
Surely, she can't lie even under serious threat.
Then...
- You're in your mid-30s, right? - Yes.
Can't you just tell your father honestly since you're an adult?
- Exactly. - But my father...
is too stubborn.
When I say I don't want to do it,
he says, "It's pointless to raise a child."
- I see how he reacts. - "I didn't raise you..."
"to see you behave like this." He says things like that.
Let's meet her father now.
Hello.
- Hello. - Welcome.
He looks charismatic and fabulous.
I think you look greater.
- You should show your pants too. - My pants?
- He's very fashionable. - Could you stand up for a moment?
He's fashionable.
He sure is fashionable.
- He's wearing checkered pants. - Hello.
To the other side too. Hello.
- He looks great. - Indeed.
Do you understand why your daughter is worried?
Of course, I don't understand why she's worried.
Why not?
It's nice to be a singer.
She gets applause from a lot of people.
But your daughter is stressed out from being a singer.
Standing on stage alone stresses her out.
It'd be nice if she becomes a singer for my satisfaction.
(For my satisfaction)
- She must do as I, her father, say. - For your satisfaction?
Your daughter's hands are shaking so much on this stage.
That's how stressed she gets when she's on stage.
- Does it make you happy? - Everyone...
Everyone gets nervous at first.
(It's hard to communicate with him.)
You get used to it over time.
How long has your daughter been working as a singer?
It's been only a year.
(She's been forced to sing for a year.)
Is it okay to be nervous after a year?
Tae Gyun, did you do well on stage from the beginning?
- Yes. - Since you were younger?
You're lying.
(Proud)
- Oh, my. - He's taken aback.
- I was born to be a comedian. - I'm glad he said that.
Sir, did you dream of becoming a singer?
I used to dream of becoming a singer.
So I released a few song albums.
But they didn't become a hit.
So I want my daughter to make my dream come true instead of me...
since she's still young.
- I see. - He wants to make her a singer.
Is it true that you said things like,
"It's pointless to raise a child"?
Yes, I said it.
My mother is still alive.
I have never defied my parents in my life.
I'm quite stubborn. If she refuses to...
make my dream come true, I won't consider her my daughter.
(I won't consider her my daughter.)
That's how I think.
But she has her own life.
If she becomes successful as a singer,
she'll become wealthier than she could do in any other profession.
What would you do if she can't become successful?
If she can't become successful...
A woman's life...
can be good enough if she finds a good man and marries him.
(She can just find a good man and marry him.)
(They can't believe their own ears.)
(Inexpressibly furious)
Why would you worry about it?
You see...
(He killed the mood.)
He's a man from the past. He's a man from the past.
(Shivering in anger)
She's running her own business.
You should call her in advance so she has time to get ready.
Sometimes we get a gig...
a few days before the day of the event.
But we get some gigs scheduled on the very day.
She should always be prepared.
If she sleeps as much as others do,
and plays gigs only when she wants to do it,
I don't need that kind of singer.
Then do you consider your daughter...
as an active singer?
Yes, I do.
Has she ever released an album?
She's finished recording her songs.
Did you even release an album?
Yes, my dad made me do it. Although the song was weird,
I couldn't say anything because he made it.
How weird? You can tell us honestly.
Sir, you don't mind if she says her honest feelings, right?
It's an exciting song,
- but the lyrics are a little weird. - The lyrics?
Does he write lyrics too?
Yes, he composed the song and wrote the lyrics.
- He does all of it? - He's amazing.
- The lyrics... - What's wrong with the lyrics?
The song title is "Follow My Lead".
Let's hear her song,
- That sounds great. - "Follow My Lead".
Music, please.
I hope she doesn't sing well.
(I hope...)
(she doesn't sing well.)
Music, please.
I hope she doesn't sing well.
(I hope...)
(she doesn't sing well.)
My goodness.
(She has a charming voice and great singing techniques.)
(Trust me and follow my lead.)
She's talented.
- That's a good song. - Sir, I like the song.
He made a good song.
Sir, I see why you can't give up.
Oh, gosh. What should we do? This is quite a dilemma.
It goes, "Pretend you're crazy and follow my lead."
- "I'll be good for you." - That's right. But I think...
it's weird to tell anyone to pretend to be crazy to follow my lead.
It sounds like your father is telling you to follow his lead.
He wrote how he felt.
Since she started her singing career,
she should pursue that career until the day she dies.
If she gives up on her goal,
she'll live a life like mine. A life of failure.
I failed my singing career.
I don't want her to fail like I did.
Even when you order in food, you should order what she wants.
If you order what you want, she won't eat.
You can't force her to pursue a dream that you want.
Exactly.
But it's a different matter.
Why is that? When you eat food,
- it goes down your throat. - I don't eat it if it's not tasty.
She says the dream you tell her to pursue is not tasty.
- She doesn't like it. - If she...
(Yeong Ja is the best!)
- Sir. - She says it's not tasty.
It's not tasty?
That's why it's hard. She's wearing clothes that don't fit her...
- against her will. - She must go on even if it's hard.
In fact...
Sir, do you think you own your child?
- That's right. I own her. - You don't!
I mean, I've been raising her until now.
I worked so hard to raise her.
(It's getting worse and worse.)
It seems that you're struggling because of his demand,
and that it decreased the level of happiness.
Why do you burst into tears whenever you look at your father?
Right. What's the reason?
- You feel like talking to a wall? - Do you feel frustrated?
Yes.
- I feel frustrated sometimes. - I see.
(She's frustrated because she can't communicate with her dad.)
Also, I feel apologetic.
Towards your father?
(I feel apologetic.)
Because you can't make his dream come true?
I mean, I'm not sure.
He said, "I worked so hard to raise her."
"So she should obey me." He wants a reward.
- That's right. - He's demanding a reward.
So I'm not sure if it can be considered...
- fatherly love. - I'm not demanding a reward.
- I just want... - Sir, your thoughts...
don't go with your pants at all.
Do you think so?
- They don't go with each other. - I just want my daughter...
Sir, you should be wearing a traditional hat.
Give me a moment. I'll bring you hanbok.
Your daughter whom you raised with love is shedding tears.
- How does it make you feel? - Even if she cries,
it doesn't make me feel bad for her or change my mind.
She should see through it no matter what.
What do you think her tears mean?
I think she's asking me to change my mind.
But I can't let her give up on becoming a singer.
You're asking her to make your dream come true.
You're asking her a favor.
I'm not asking her a favor. I'm forcing her to do so.
(What he said is true, but it only shocks everyone.)
(How can he be so brazen?)
Are you the only one whom he forces to do things?
Do you have any siblings?
- I have a younger sibling. - A brother or a sister?
- A younger brother. - I see.
Before he focused on making me a singer,
his target was my brother.
I tried to make my son a singer too.
I took pictures for his portfolio and made him perform at events.
But maybe he didn't like it. He got a job to stop doing it.
He must've studied really hard to avoid becoming a singer.
Sir, do you think he should keep his job?
Yes, I do. He has a good job.
So I told my daughter to sacrifice herself as his elder sister.
She should do it instead of him.
It's not too late to enlist in the military then.
(Maybe I should do so.)
Is the man next to your father your brother?
- Yes. - All right. Let's meet her brother.
- Hello. - Hello.
(A striking floral pattern shirt)
He's wearing a floral pattern shirt. It's not a usual way to dress.
We heard that your father forced you to be a singer as well.
What did he do to you to make you a singer?
(Holding up his mic)
Sir, her question was for you son. You know that, right?
Sir, please put your mic down.
I thought she asked me the question.
We're still struggling to digest what we heard. Let's take a break.
We couldn't digest what you said yet.
Before I enlisted in the military, he made me go to an audition...
through a friend of a friend.
And he used to call me during a class.
"Send me your photo so I can sign you up for a singing contest."
So I participated in singing contests as well.
Has your father ever scolded you?
"Hey. You couldn't even win an award at the contest."
No, because I was in the top two in most singing contests.
(Impressed)
(I had a reason to try to make him a singer.)
Could you please sing a little bit for us?
(Could he sing better than his sister?)
(Glancing at his father)
(How will he sing "The Lady of the Kasbah"?)
(The smoke of cigarette)
- Oh, my. - He's great.
(Singing skillfully)
(He seems relaxed.)
(No wonder he won the contests.)
(Should I make him a singer?)
(Singing with a charming voice)
(He never stops smiling to the end.)
(My lady)
- "The Lady of the Kasbah". - He's amazing.
(Amazing)
I can see why his father wanted to make him a singer.
He has a great singing voice.
Why didn't you become a singer?
(Please don't even say things like that.)
You got another job while he was trying to make you a singer, right?
That's right. He said a man mustn't work as an office worker...
at first.
- A man mustn't? - A man should work...
- as an office worker. - That's ridiculous.
- Gosh. - He told me to have a bigger dream.
- He said I should dream big. - I see.
- Yes. - He said you should dream big.
Then why did you decide to work as an office worker?
A singer goes through a hard time before he becomes successful.
- Absolutely. - With no regular income.
- It's hard even after that. - Right. Therefore,
I wanted to live a relaxed life...
with a stable job.
(I want to get away from this life too.)
Even if you don't become a singer,
it wouldn't be so bad to have a gig from time to time...
and make some extra money.
I have never been paid...
for any gigs I had.
However, I can't just be on stage looking like this.
- You need a stage outfit. - I spend a lot of money...
- for clothes, earrings, and hair... - Of course.
- for one gig. - You suffer a loss.
What could I have done when they didn't pay her?
- You mean the event organizers? - Yes.
They don't pay the singers after gigs.
- It happens quite often. - It happens a lot.
Unlike how he looks, he's actually naive.
What do you mean, unlike how he looks?
(She's saying he doesn't look naive.)
- Although he doesn't look naive... - I see.
He can't think rationally when it comes to his children.
When someone approaches him saying he'll help me with my career,
my dad believes everything he says.
(He's easily fooled.)
- That's not good. - So that person...
- It must be so hard. - Sir, can you tell us instead?
I think she went through a lot of hardship.
It seems she has her reasons.
Any singers would feel the same.
If someone says he will help you go on a TV show,
you can't think of anything else.
- Since I'm passionate about music, - Of course, we understand that.
whenever I see singers...
performing on stage,
it makes me feel so happy regardless of how much money I can make.
But you still have to care about your profit.
How much money did you lose until now...
including the money you invested to help your daughter?
It's over one million dollars including my house.
(It's a tremendous amount.)
(The audience is speechless.)
- How much? - More than one million dollars?
- Whenever someone offers help, - He invests money?
he spends all the money he earned before that.
Above all, I feel apologetic.
- She doesn't... - So I want to quit.
I understand.
(You must go on.)
I'm sure your mother must have suffered because of this matter.
As a wife, she went through a lot of hardship.
So she didn't come on the show.
I think she's the one who suffered the most.
My dad suddenly bought a few songs for me...
and told me to quit my job, so I quit my job.
- So I had no income. - Right.
- You need money for living cost. - Yes. So I asked my brother...
for financial support when I'm older than him.
(Her brother helped her out without saying anything.)
I'm sorry toward him.
(I'm so sorry as your sister.)
She feels bad that she asked him for his help.
(Well...)
I could understand how both my dad and sister must've felt.
So if I said it was hard for me when she was suffering already,
I was afraid she might suffer even more.
Tell us your honest feelings too.
Tell us what made you suffer.
Your father should know it too.
(The whole family has a burden on the heart.)
(It's so sad.)
It seems to me that he doesn't only force them to make efforts...
just as it sounds like.
I think his two children feel bad for their father too.
It's because they know that their father is a good person.
Do you resent your father and feel sorry for him at the same time?
When I was a little child,
I didn't know how he felt deep inside.
So I thought it'd be nice if my dad had been...
an ordinary office worker like my friends' dads.
I would've received an allowance on a regular basis.
- You wanted a stable life. - That's right. I thought like that.
But I'm 31 years old now.
As I have aged,
- I came to understand him a little. - Of course.
I mean, he got scammed while he was trying hard...
to become successful.
When I think about it,
it breaks my heart.
(It breaks my heart as his child.)
(His children are so nice.)
I'm sure there were many times when he made you upset...
since he was very young when you were a little child.
He always put work before his family.
We had no time to talk to him.
I lived with my grandparents when his business wasn't doing well.
You know there are important phases like adolescence.
But there was no one around me I could consult with.
(He was never there for her when she needed him.)
You were disappointed a lot when you were a child.
What was your dream?
I wanted to become an interior designer.
An interior designer?
So I wanted to learn to draw.
When my grandpa was alive, he said a woman doesn't paint.
- You lived with him for long? - He said I should just get married.
Her grandfather told her to just get married instead of painting,
and her father told her to be a singer instead of getting married.
(Her father is forcing his dream on her.)
He told his son not to work.
- As an office worker. - As an office worker.
(It doesn't make sense.)
What do you want to say the most to your father?
I want him not to let other people trick him.
And...
(Glancing at her father)
- Go ahead. - Don't cry.
I want him to stop...
(I want him to stop...)
forcing me to pursue a singing career.
(forcing his dream on me.)
It's too hard for me...
- Tell him that you can't do it. - to fulfill your unfulfilled dream.
(I don't want to fulfill your unfulfilled dream.)
I want him to refrain himself.
I will do anything else you ask of me.
(Dad, please.)
But if you ask me to give up on making you a singer,
it'd be pointless that I came here.
I am feeling a little upset right now.
- But your daughter feels... - I understand how my kids feel.
However, when you were younger,
you didn't pay attention to your family.
- You lived a life you wanted. - I was only 19 back then.
Would I have cared about the kids?
I was immature. I never stayed at home.
But when I started my music career after living like that,
I was so happy that I got a chance to work in the music industry.
You may be happy, but your children aren't.
That's why I'm trying to help them feel the way I feel.
(Unreasonable)
She'll be happy when she becomes successful.
(Can't I become happy forever?)
(His comments suffocate them.)
(Everyone is...)
(frustrated.)
(Dear viewers, have a glass of cold water.)
Why can't you feel that happiness alone?
We should feel it together.
That's the problem.
I...
You two can help her
- find fame quicker. - This is...
(What did you say?)
(You went over the line.)
Let me tell you something. I have a nephew...
who studied theaters.
- That means you'll help him out. - But connections won't get you...
- far in this industry. - That's right.
- Our country... - Because...
Don't try to stop her.
Well...
Just let her become a singer.
Don't listen to the others. Just listen to me and do well.
If you do, you'll succeed.
(You shouldn't be upset over this.)
(Everyone is flustered.)
(Is it a given for your children to suffer...)
(just because you want to fulfill your own dreams?)
Let's start with Sang Yeol. Is this a worry?
- It is? - Yes.
I think she grew up well.
- If it were me... - You would rebelled?
Yes, I would.
I hope you can think more...
about what her happiness could be...
instead of your own happiness.
I wish he pursued his daughter's happiness more.
Lena thinks the same.
Whatever it may be, it'll only work out...
if you're proactive and interested in it.
- Right. - Young kids these days...
are silver-tongued.
They know how to talk.
- Why can't I say that at this age? - I know.
- Okay. - I'm pretty much like an infant.
If you can sympathize with her, 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 out of 200 she received.
Please show us the result.
(The result)
The maximum number of votes she can receive is 200.
(The last digit is 0.)
It's over 100 votes.
(What is the result?)
160 votes.
(She receives 160 votes.)
"Unappetizing Worry".
(She can't imagine it.)
Hello.
I'm a woman in her 20s.
We, women, are stressed about this at least once.
It's dieting.
Because of dieting, I've been tormented...
against my will for five years.
(Panting)
"This is tiring. Stop it."
"Aren't you tired?"
"I still have a long way to go if I want to get rid of my belly fat."
The one struggling so much to work out...
is not me, but my older sister.
If I think she needs to lose weight, I'll keep my mouth shut.
But she's 170cm tall and weighs 53kg.
- She's like an actress. - She has a beautiful figure.
You're right.
- Yes. - She's a model.
- 170cm and 53kg? - Yes.
But her dieting seems to be never-ending.
This is what I'm the most stressed about.
"Gosh, it's hot. I should have some ice cream."
"Hey! Don't you know how many calories it has?"
"It's the same amount of calories as that in a bowl of rice!"
"Gosh, I don't crave it anymore!"
"Then I'm going to just have rice."
"Don't you know how many calories are in a bowl of white rice?"
"Don't eat. Let's work out together."
Because of her, I get stressed.
She's been dieting unreasonably for some time.
This is a fitness trainer.
"Ma'am, if you keep doing this, you might die."
"Stop it."
Even health professionals are dissuading her.
Despite this, she is still on her diet.
Please help her stop this unreasonable diet.
(Please help her stop.)
Let's hear what Yo Han has to say.
Every morning, we weigh ourselves...
- and write it down on the board. - You write your weight down?
We can neither lose nor gain any.
- Really? - We need to maintain it.
I went on a strict diet for the first time.
After losing the weight, it was difficult to sing.
- Right. - I didn't think it was necessary.
So if my agency talks about my losing weight,
I ask them if it's okay if I don't sing that well.
- That's wise. - I ask them for their opinion.
Since we need to lose weight in a short period of time,
we starve ourselves.
- You starve? - Yes.
But since we starve ourselves, we end up binging.
- It's not good. - Starving is the worst.
- Right. - It's the worst method.
Let's bring her in.
Come on in.
(Who is this lady whose sister torments her about dieting?)
(Jang Ae Rim)
(She's skinny too.)
How strict is she?
She's 25 years old.
She's been dieting since she was 20 years old.
- Since she was 20? - Yes.
She's not fat at all.
Others are annoyed to know that she's on a diet.
She's that skinny.
After going to college, she thought she was fat.
That's when she started dieting.
Since college, she's never had white rice.
- Since she was 20 years old? - Yes.
When our family has pork belly,
- Nice. - the smell must make her want...
to have a piece or two as well.
- I'm sure it's more than that. - Right?
But she doesn't eat any meat.
She has her own diet.
She eats chicken breast, squash, cubed sweet potatoes,
and soybean milk.
- For the past five years? - Yes.
She doesn't even season them.
Does she check the number of calories on all foods?
She only eats and drinks things that have "zero" written on it...
like zero cola.
Zero sports drinks.
- No sugar? - Right.
So she's been on this diet for five years now.
How much has she lost?
In the beginning, she was 47kg.
- But my mom... - 170cm and 47kg?
- Yes. But my mom... - She was so skinny.
begged her to stop.
She said my sister could be in serious danger.
That's why she gained some weight and weighed 53kg.
But she's not content with her body.
So she's still on a diet.
- She's still on a diet. - Yes.
But you could just ignore her...
and live your life. Why are you...
That's only possible if she focuses on just herself.
I love ice cream.
But whenever I'm about to have some,
she talks about the calories.
She says it's worth a bowl of rice.
I become annoyed and don't crave it anymore.
- You should still have it. - How cute.
You're quite sensitive. If I heard how many calories it was,
I'd say, "I'll have another bowl then."
- You're right. - I know.
I'm content with my figure.
- You're skinny as well. - I think...
if I have belly fat, I can just tighten my belly while I go around.
And I hate working out.
But she keeps telling me to play badminton...
or go to the gym with her. She forces me.
She brings you along.
Her expression is so cute. She must be upset.
- I am. - She's so young,
but she looks so concerned.
It's so funny. Are you really that stressed out about her?
She's worried.
Let's meet her sister. Hello.
(Who is the sister who's been on a diet for 5 years?)
- Hello. - Hello.
If it's all right with you, can you stand up for us?
She's so tall.
- She's so skinny. - Please turn around.
- She has no belly fat. - You were strict.
You're so skinny.
I'm jealous.
My gosh. Are you 170cm tall?
Yes, I am.
If it's okay, may we know your current weight?
I've gained a bit, so I'm 55kg.
- She's so pretty. - She doesn't seem to be...
in that critical of a state.
Do you understand your sister's worry?
Not at all. I'm actually dieting quite reasonably.
She was eating something...
and said that she had belly fat.
If you eat, you'll get belly fat.
That's why I try not to make her eat.
Do you not think you're thin?
- No. - Why not?
What do you think about your body?
Only my limbs are thin.
I still have a lot of belly fat and love handles.
So I need to continue dieting.
Are you the type to gain weight easily?
Not at all.
But I went through something...
which made me go on a diet.
I've been dieting ever since.
That guy must've been evil.
Can we hear the story?
I was walking with my mom,
and we met a friend of ours.
But that person said,
"Ye Jin, you've gained weight. You look a bit chubby."
Ever since I was young,
people said that I was as skinny as a skeleton.
But since that person said that to me,
I realized that I had gained a lot of weight.
That's how it all began.
How much did you weigh back then?
I was 57kg.
- She was only 2kg heavier. - 57kg?
- 57kg? - You said it was shocking...
to hear that you had gained weight.
Did it not shock you to hear you could die if you worked out more?
Since I was already dieting by that time,
I just thought I needed to diet a little bit more.
How are you dieting these days?
I wake up in the morning and exercise.
After cycling, I take a shower.
After that, I have squash...
and chicken breast. And then, I go to work.
At about 12pm,
- we go to a buffet. - Really?
- I eat there. - It's Korean cuisine.
- She has just a bit, right? - Yes.
Maybe a bite.
I eat a bit and get off work at 6pm.
If I go to the gym afterwards, I work out for 1 to 2 hours.
I do cardio for 30 to 40 minutes.
After that, I lift weights and do ab exercises.
If I don't go to the gym,
I have equipment at home as well,
so I work out at home.
Are you trying to look pretty for your boyfriend...
or a man you like?
Do you have that kind of a clear goal?
No, I haven't had a boyfriend...
ever since I graduated from the university.
- Really? - It's not about men.
- Most women... - It's about self-satisfaction.
take care of their looks when there is a man.
The job could be a reason too.
What happens when you don't work out?
I have itchy feet.
(It's not like she is an athlete.)
What kind of exercise equipment does she have at home?
- My sister? - You said she has some at home.
- Dumbbells and an exercise bike. - An exercise bike.
- There is a gym ball too. - A gym ball.
She also has a machine that helps build muscles,
but she hid it so that Mom won't scold her.
- Did she hide it? - Yes.
- She got caught. - Your mom is on the show too.
She won't hold back today.
When my sister receives her monthly salary,
she uses half of it to buy chicken breast.
- How about the other half? - She buys exercise machines.
I have an installment savings account.
I buy those things with the leftover money.
My sister really likes nail art.
She spends all of her money on it.
- I... - On nail art?
Yes. Because I like to exercise,
I spend my money on exercise machines, food,
and clothes.
I think she and I are the same.
Ae Rim told us that you spend one-third of your monthly salary...
on chicken breast.
Isn't it painful to eat chicken breast?
- It's not tasty. - I think it's tasty.
- You think it's tasty? - It's tasty these days.
I see.
There are other tasty dishes in the world.
Don't you want to eat them?
It happens sometimes,
but I don't enjoy eating in the first place.
- I didn't know it was possible. - Some people are like that.
Any parent would be worried...
- if the child doesn't eat much. - I know.
Let's talk to her mom.
Hello.
You look quite worried.
You understand Ae Rim's worry, right?
As a mom who cooks for her children,
my worry is greater than Ae Rim's.
Let's say I gave her a spoonful of brown rice.
Even a four-year-old would eat more than that.
She refuses to eat that.
When I make her favorite dishes...
such as bulgogi and grilled fish, she doesn't eat.
She just eats a piece of squash and a piece of chicken breast.
That's all she eats.
(Imagining that makes them hungry.)
She liked those dishes when she was little, right?
That's right. When she was little, she loved chicken and pizza.
She wasn't a picky eater.
Why do you not have a single bite?
Mom only cooks calorific dishes to make me gain weight.
I can't help but worry about the calories. That's why.
Your daughter said she became this way...
because your friend's comment was too shocking.
I wish I hadn't hung out with that friend.
(She is regretful.)
Why did I let that friend see my daughter?
I am almost mad at that friend.
I am regretful.
Does that friend usually judge...
other people's looks?
Some people are straight-forward like that.
No, she doesn't. It was just that...
she was used to seeing Ye Jin in a skinny state.
But she gained a little bit of weight, so she said,
"Ye Jin, you've gained weight. You look good."
- She said nothing more. - It was a compliment.
That's right. It was a compliment,
but it made Ye Jin obsessive.
- It stressed her out. - That's right.
(She misunderstood.)
Her fitness trainer did the InBody test...
and told me,
"Ye Jin will die at this rate."
- She isn't well-nourished. - No.
She didn't have enough muscles.
There is an exercise which involves throwing a gym ball.
She collapsed on the spot.
A gym ball isn't that heavy.
She doesn't even have the strength to hold it up,
but she continues to be on a diet.
(It's never-ending.)
(Her body is in a serious state.)
What other serious side effects are there?
She lost her hair and even eyebrows.
- That's right. - She lost her eyebrows too.
Moreover,
she stopped getting her period.
That happens to a lot of women.
- Yes. - I have a friend like that.
She received various treatments at an oriental medicine clinic.
She is in her early 20s. As her mom, I am devastated.
(As her mom, she is devastated.)
When she stopped getting her period. her health deteriorated so much...
that she took some time off from work.
She left work for about a year.
- She left work for about a year? - Yes.
- Did she exercise during that time? - Yes.
- It's an addiction. - I have...
a question for Ye Jin.
What's important to you, looking pretty to a man...
or being healthy?
It's not like you are healthy right now.
There must be a reason why you are obsessed with losing weight.
Ever since I have gone on a diet,
I can't shake off that mindset.
No matter what I eat, I check how many calories it has.
Mom once told me to save her from this suffering.
That's why I put on a bit of weight.
- I see. - Now, she listens to her mom...
and eats the food her mom cooks. She is back to normal, isn't she?
Her body seems to be back to normal,
but she doesn't look happy.
Why not?
She goes to a gym and comes home.
She only goes to and fro between the gym and home.
She doesn't do anything fun. She doesn't meet up with friends.
When I ask her if I should set her up with someone,
she says she isn't interested.
What do you think? Are you happy right now?
No, I am not happy.
But everyone lives to be happy.
Exercising and being on a diet don't make you happy?
- Being on a diet is really hard. - That's right.
Exercising is hard too.
I don't think I have been happy in life.
I just live because I have to live.
You haven't found anything that is fun for you.
You were so focused on losing weight...
that you couldn't find a hobby.
You were too focused on one thing.
You go on a diet...
because you feel like you have to do it, right?
You have a goal weight, right? Do you have a goal weight?
- Yes. - What is that?
52kg.
52kg? My goal weight is 92kg.
No matter how much I eat, I can't reach it.
It's a worry I have.
Why does it have to be 52kg?
There must be a reason.
It's just 52kg.
- There is no reason. - See? There is no special reason.
You don't know why you need to be on a diet.
(Please come out of that swamp.)
Everyone has experienced a happy moment.
- For me, it's when I order in food. - The wait.
I imagine where the deliveryman must be.
- It shows on the app. - Right.
- It shows on the delivery app. - That's right.
It makes me go crazy.
How about you, Ye Jin?
When are you the happiest?
Me? When am I the happiest?
(Think carefully.)
It must be when I get off work.
- Every office worker can relate. - That's the happiest moment.
I wasn't on a diet when I was younger.
One time, the entire family went on a trip to Gangwon Province.
- We went to a resort. - That sounds nice.
We ate ramyeon at the resort.
- You go swimming. - That's right.
I was really excited...
- even before the trip had begun. - It's like that.
You don't feel that way when you are on a diet?
No, I don't.
Although she is only 25 years old, I asked her,
"Do you want to have a marriage interview?"
"Do you want to get married?"
(She is only 25 years old.)
I wondered if it would help her find joy in life.
I was driven to that extent.
But she isn't interested in those things yet.
Don't you really have any interest in men?
Don't you hang out with your friends?
When I eat with my friends, I worry about the calories.
(She worries about the calories.)
- You shouldn't worry. - As for a blind date,
I am more interested in exercising.
Who is your ideal type?
Let's talk about something other than dieting for a second.
- What type do you like? - I want to meet someone...
who works out like Kim Jong Kook.
It would be nice for her to meet someone like him.
Kim Jong Kook.
On TV,
he works out and eats chicken breast.
However, he also eats his mom's dishes with gusto...
and dines out with his friends often.
He always says that food is the fuel for his body.
If you eat and exercise properly,
you will be happier.
All of us have gone on a diet.
It's not about the goal, but the process.
You might want to lose weight to wear a bikini...
or to become healthy.
- That's right. - But Ye Jin can make me think,
"What? She doesn't even have a goal."
"But she just wants to weigh 52kg."
You trapped yourself in a cage...
- that is dieting. - Yes.
- You walked into it yourself. - Yes.
You said you love getting off work. You should get off dieting.
It will be nice.
(They applaud.)
It will be nice.
You should go on a family trip like you did in the past.
(That's right.)
Other than exercising and losing weight,
what items are in your bucket list?
I want to travel abroad with my friends and family.
You want to travel abroad.
I want to save up money and buy a foreign car.
- Those are good goals. - Yes.
That's right.
Ma'am, say a few words to your daughter.
My lovely daughter.
The family worried a lot for your sake.
But I am so thankful that you regained health.
When you are my age, I wish you would tell me,
"Mom, I was really happy in my 20s."
I love you, my daughter. I will always root for you.
I love you.
She is a typical mom.
She is a mom with a big heart.
Ye Jin, I hope...
you wouldn't meet someone like Kim Jong Kook.
When I ask you,
I hope you would dine out and go shopping with me.
Let's do something fun together.
All right.
I see that the sisters are close.
I didn't know they were worried about me this much.
I will try hard to change.
I hope everyone in my family would be...
healthy and happy.
All right. Good job.
I am glad you visited the show.
Good job.
Let's have the guests vote. Ji Sang Yeol.
It's not like moving on to a new chapter.
It's more like changing a channel.
Don't think it's hard. I don't think it's a worry.
I hope you would exercise to an extent...
it doesn't ruin your health.
I want to tell you that a dish might as well have zero calorie...
if you enjoy it.
I don't think it's a worry.
I hope people around her would go,
"You should eat. You are pretty as you are."
It would be nice...
- if they can boost her confidence. - That's right.
I don't think it's a worry.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up.

Did it get over 100 votes?
72 votes. All right. Thank you.
Thus, "I Want to Stop Dreaming" won this week.
We will give the winner the prize money.
Until the day we are all worry-free...
Hello will continue to counsel you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
