We will counsel you on your unspeakable concerns.
National Competition...
- On worries! - On worries!
(National Competition on Worries)
(Welcome)
Let me introduce our guests.
They are the actor and actress of "I Wanna Hear Your Song".
They're Song Jae Rim and Kim Se Jeong.
(Kim Se Jeong, Song Jae Rim)
YooA and Seunghee of OH MY GIRL.
(YooA, Seunghee)
Handsome comedian, Seo Tae Hoon.
(Seo Tae Hoon)
Hello, it's nice to meet you.
Today is an emotional day.
Se Jeong, you finally got the role as a lead actress.
- Right. - Of a drama.
- Right. - Could you explain your roles?
My character needs to be on this show.
- Does she have many worries? - She has worries...
- She searches for a job. - about dating and landing a job.
She's also lost her memory,
so she wants to retrieve it. She has many worries.
- It's quite mixed. - I must watch it.
My role is a maestro.
- It suits you. - Thank you.
He lives for himself. He seems mean, but he's kind...
- and friendly. - You know what?
If you get to know Jae Rim, he's a fun guy.
- He's funny too. - Oh, really?
He's so random and unique.
He doesn't like sashimi, but his hobby is making them.
- I watch videos of that. - You can't eat it?
- Goodness. - He also likes deboning chicken.
- Deboning chicken? - Yes.
How's your chemistry?
Our chemistry on screen is great.
But the problem is, he's known...
to have a small face.
- He really has a small face. - He does.
- But for me... - I'm glad...
I'm not sitting next to him.
- It's irritating. - Right.
But the problem is, Jiyeon, another actress,
- has a very small face too. - She does.
So I'm scared of three shots.
- He really has a small face. - He does.
Tae Hoon is also here.
On "Gag Concert", you've been on segments...
with pretty much all the comediennes, right?
Yes, you're right. I've been a boyfriend...
to almost every single one of them.
Did your heart ever flutter in real life...
while doing a segment?
Acting is required to do what I do.
So when I get into it, my heart does flutter.
- Of course. - Right.
Oh Na Mi and Lee Su Ji...
(Really?)
Excluding them, my heart has fluttered for everyone else.
(Were you playing with us?)
Why would you exclude them?
We're too close that such feelings don't manifest.
We both laugh on the stage.
- I can't believe that. - Is there anyone you'd like...
- Well... - to invite to your segment?
If these three ladies are okay with it,
I'd like to invite them to "Gag Concert".
It'd be nice to act like my girlfriend.
By the way, in Seunghee's case,
I'm positive she's meant to be on variety shows.
She prepares things beforehand and even comes up...
with new things willingly.
This time, she has prepared...
- a summer talent. - She's so cute.
- A summer talent? - Yes.
We told her she didn't have to, but she prepared something.
- It's a new talent. - Show us!
I hope you like it.
She's so cute.
I can show you the face of someone wearing...
swimming goggles without wearing one.
Really?
- Isn't it nice? - Yes.
It'll be fun.
- So we're inside the water? - Yes.
(They're inside the water.)
(She's wearing the goggles.)
(How original.)
- Under the sea - She's so cute.
(His goggles are too tight.)
It's nothing fancy, but she does come up with things.
(That was her summer talent.)
My gosh.
You have a new summer song, don't you?
- Yes. - Yes.
("Fall in Love" by OH MY GIRL)
(They've turned into a pair of summer fairies.)
(It's refreshing.)
(Their choreography is very refreshing.)
Show us the goggles at the end!
(She shows off her talent once again.)
(Content)
(This is the best song to listen to this summer.)
- That was great! - The song was wonderful.
- It's so refreshing. - All right.
We have three worries for today. Show us the keywords, please.
(The keywords are revealed.)
"I Want My Wife Back".
"A Critical, New Marriage". "That's Enough".
"I Want My Wife Back".
Hello, I'm a husband in his 30s who's been married for 3 years.
Could I bring my wife in front of the judges of Hello?
- Judges? - Is she a robber or what?
My wife is a serious addict.
"Honey, what should we do for our wedding anniversary?"
"Sorry, I'm busy."
"Honey, for this vacation..."
"Please! I'm busy!"
My wife is...
(What is her addiction?)
- a workaholic. - She's a workaholic.
Thanks to 1 shot, 1 kill,
she was pregnant with her firstborn.
- What? - 1 shot, 1 kill?
They were really busy but were lucky.
(It happened in a hurry.)
When they got their baby in a 1 shot, 1 kill method...
"Honey, I have so much work to do."
"I can't take a leave for too long after giving birth,"
"so how about I give birth..."
- "on Lunar New Year's Day?" - What?
- What? - "What do you mean?"
"That's much sooner than the baby's expected."
"How could you give birth whenever you want?"
But nevertheless, my wife gave birth...
- by inducing labor. - My goodness.
(She's so persistent.)
(I can't believe this.)
Through 1 shot, 1 kill, we had our second child.
Who's the amazing one? The husband or the wife?
They're both amazing.
A week after the delivery, my wife went back to work.
One week?
- My gosh. - Gosh.
This is what I'm upset about the most these days.
"Mom, Mom."
"I'm busy. Play with Dad."
Our kids are 1 and 2 years old and need their mom's love,
but they're not her priority.
She's refusing to fulfill her role.
Please dissuade my wife.
That's it.
(Please dissuade my wife.)
She's a true workaholic.
It's rare for mothers to be like this.
- Right. - Right.
Many of these worries were regarding fathers.
What do you think?
- I think I'm... - Don't you have that side to you?
Yes, I think I do.
I usually like to focus on my work.
- You put your work first. - Yes.
When I'm working,
I feel alive.
When you work?
- When you're working? - Me too.
When my schedule is too empty,
I feel down and tense.
Is that why you develop these personal talents?
I research a lot in my room.
I look at myself in the mirror and do this.
- What was that? - Beatboxing.
- Beatboxing. - Let's hear it.
(Beatboxing)
Pikachu. Like this.
- Pikachu? - That was cute.
That was adorable.
- Well, - She tries so hard.
we'd like her to rest a few days...
so she can keep striving to come up with new talents.
(We look forward to more new talents.)
(She is fit for variety shows.)
Please come on out.
(Who is this man who is worried about his wife?)
(He's handsome.)
(Kim Ji Sung)
He looks like Yoo Dong Kun.
(Welcome)
What kind of work does she do...
that she's so busy?
We started a business together since the start of our marriage.
It's related to weddings.
- Wedding consultations? - Yes.
You must be busy.
At first, it felt like...
we were dating while working, so it was nice.
My wife treats me like a colleague.
Are the opening hours not fixed?
It's from 11am to 9pm.
But she works all day long,
from the moment she wakes up to the moment she goes to bed.
- She checks things. - She just keeps working.
That's a big worry for me.
(Please work only during set hours.)
You run the business with her.
Isn't it more of a good thing that she's working hard?
We have two children.
Our first son is two years old.
And we have a 6-month-old daughter.
- My goodness. - That's too small.
(Just thinking about the babies make them happy.)
When she comes home early, she arrives at home around 10pm.
Then my wife goes to the kids.
While hugging them,
she looks at her phone. She sits on the sofa...
- and just looks at her phone. - She doesn't stop working.
She didn't care about the kids very much.
She keeps answering calls, making calls, and sending messages.
- That's what upsets me. - Even at home.
By the way, you live such a busy life.
But you already have two kids.
Is that what you're curious about?
- That's what you are curious about. - He got it done at once.
That's not a question we expected to come from you.
He got it done at once.
What is that, Seunghee?
I am pretending to be smart. I'm moving my invisible glasses.
Just as my wife gives her everything to work,
I gave my everything to loving my wife.
- He's amazing. - You are a sweet guy.
I got it done at once, like a sniper.
- Like a sniper. - Mr. Sniper.
Then did she continue to work even when she was in the last months?
She didn't think of herself as a pregnant woman.
She ran around. She moved heavy things.
When she was pregnant with the second child,
there was a problem.
What happened?
How much time after giving birth to the first child...
did she get pregnant again?
She got pregnant two months after she gave birth.
My gosh.
- You were impatient. - A while ago,
you emphasized that she should've taken time off to recover.
- My gosh, you. - You waited until she gave birth.
You looked forward to that day.
(Mr. Sniper revealed his splendor.)
Anyway.
One day, she said she had a stomachache.
So we went to see a doctor.
And the doctor said she could give premature birth...
- as she was overworking herself. - Right. She was too tired.
The doctor told her...
that she needed to rest for 2 to 3 days after the prevention surgery.
But she didn't want to rest.
- She's unbelievable. - So...
Did she not get the surgery?
Right. She had to take 2, 3 days off work completely,
and she couldn't do that. So instead, she decided...
not to run around.
Whenever customers came,
she went out and greeted them.
She promised she would take it easy at the shop.
That's what she decided to do.
Even when things got that bad, she only thought about work.
Let's meet his wife who's addicted to her work.
- Hello. - Hello.
(Who is his wife who only thinks about work all day?)
She's so pretty.
Why do you work all the time?
I have to take care of the brides. Customer care is my job.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime event for them.
It gives me immense sense of responsibility.
- She's great. - I can't slack.
If I am her customer,
- I would be really happy. - I'd be really happy.
She sounds so reassuring.
Do you want to reserve your spot now?
(I want to!)
Girls, I should go first.
(But where's my one?)
(Of course. We will let you go first.)
Were you also a workaholic before you started the business?
Yes. Before this, I used to work at a bank.
I love working in a service industry.
Every weekend, I secretly worked part-time at a wedding venue.
(She worked part-time every weekend.)
I helped out at weddings.
When you are pregnant,
- you must think less about work. - Right.
My priority was work...
because the child wasn't born yet.
(She's different, isn't she?)
I thought of it as something of a later concern.
- You thought that at the time. - Yes.
My first son was born healthy nonetheless.
He was born without any complications.
I got goosebumps.
How about your second child then?
In the end, I gave birth a month earlier.
I had to go to the hospital in the middle of having a meal.
It was a dangerous situation, but she was born healthy too.
- So... - She's a healthy woman.
- But your children are still young. - Yes.
It must be hard to raise children while working. How do you manage it?
I think my children are optimized for a busy mom.
- They are optimized? - Yes.
They are a 2-year-old and a 6-month-old.
- They are still very young. - My first son just kept sleeping.
- He never gave me a hard time. - That's amazing.
And my second child is very easygoing too.
When mothers work,
they worry about their children and go home early.
Don't you think about that at work?
I don't.
- You don't think about the kids? - No.
Your husband is non-existent to you.
Right.
Oh, dear.
He's next to me, so I don't worry about him.
(She's different from ordinary mothers.)
She says our kids are optimized for a busy mom.
She says that because she doesn't watch them.
One time, this happened.
Our shop is just 1 to 3 minutes away by foot.
We were working in shifts.
When I am at work, my wife should be watching the kids.
But she showed up at the shop, saying she had something to do.
I asked her what she did with the kids.
And she said the kids are fine because they're just lying down.
- You can't do that. - She left them unattended?
- No. - That's bad.
(How could she make such a decision as a mother?)
That really shocked me.
I couldn't believe that she left them alone, so I went home.
There's a thing called a baby bouncer. It's like a rocking chair.
She put the baby there, but she fell off it.
(She fell off the bouncer. and she was crying.)
- My goodness. - Seeing that,
I realized that was just wrong.
That's wrong.
I was really surprised too, of course.
I worried that something bad would've happened to her.
I was worried, but...
(But?)
I was afraid he would make me stop working...
if I admitted to my fault and apologized.
So I said, "She's fine, right?"
I just ended it there.
You said your children are optimized for a busy mom.
But they are not optimized. They just can't speak yet.
They just can't express their opinions yet.
- That's all. - When they grow up...
and learn to talk, ask them how it was like for them.
"How was it when you fell off the bouncer?"
"It made me really sad, Mom."
Her mom was gone, and her dad was gone too.
"Do you know how hard it was to be alone there?"
She couldn't use her hands or feet.
(I don't like such a mom.)
When you give birth to a baby,
- you breastfeed the baby. - That's very important.
After giving birth, she wanted to return to work immediately.
So from the start, even without discussing it with me,
she dried up the breast milk.
- She just dried it up. - She inhibited the production.
- Right away. - From the start?
- That's very important though. - The colostrum is...
- It's good for their immune... - He was my first child.
She didn't discuss it with me at all. She just informed me.
- That would make you feel bad. - She didn't just inform me.
She just did it.
But I breastfed him for a week.
When I searched, they said the first week's milk was the most nutritious.
So I breastfed him while I was at a postpartum care center.
But your husband is upset about that.
You were supposed to discuss it with him before making a decision.
But you just notified him of your decision.
That's the worst.
But I knew he was going to say no.
- But I... - You never asked him.
- He could've agreed with you. - I didn't...
want to hear him say no.
So I just did it.
When children are growing up,
they learn many things through their mouth.
And what they learn lasts a lifetime.
While feeding on mother's milk, they commune with the mother.
That's very important.
But you stopped so fast.
By the way, how do you know this so well?
Right.
You don't have a child, do you?
It sounds like you experienced it.
My mother runs a daycare center.
So I know a lot about children.
Your mother runs a daycare center.
(Jae Rim is the number 1 husband material.)
Then how much time do you spend with your child?
I come home after work and play with them for about 10 minutes.
- About that much. - 10 minutes, did you say?
She's more like a father.
I think you are worse than a father from Joseon Dynasty.
Have you ever read a book to your children?
People said books are good, so I bought them a lot of books.
- You bought them books? - She's like a father.
How can a two-year-old read it? You should read it for him.
I've never read a book to him.
- Not even once? - Not even once.
My goodness.
(You understand why I am so sad, right?)
The manager came to represent all the staff.
Hello.
For staff, if the boss works that hard,
it's tiring.
"Tiring" is a perfect word for it.
It's uncomfortable.
- First... - It's been worrying you.
Yes. It has been.
We are supposed to close at 9pm. But she makes 9pm,
10pm appointments.
Even 11pm appointments.
- What is that? - She tells me to go home first.
She says she will wrap it up.
- But when I head home... - You feel guilty.
Yes. It feels uncomfortable.
What did you think about her getting back to work...
- No. - right after giving birth?
It's not right.
She should've taken at least two weeks off.
But she suddenly said she was coming to work.
That was about 7 or 8 days after she gave birth.
It had been less than 10 days.
As someone who's gone through it, I felt sad and worried.
- It made me wonder if I was... - Bad at your job?
Yes. That's what I felt.
She could feel that way.
(I never knew she would have such a misunderstanding.)
I've been curious about this. Who does the chores?
When she comes home,
she doesn't do any chores.
From washing dishes to cleaning, doing laundry...
You don't do anything? You just watch the kids for 10 minutes?
Yes.
(She only plays with the children for 10 minutes.)
Come to think of it... We've been married for about three years now.
I've never cleaned the house.
You've never cleaned the house? You never vacuumed the house?
You would do that if you see hair on the floor.
My husband does everything.
(He looks haggard.)
(She's such a lucky woman.)
I take care of our kids most of the time.
I spend a lot of time with them.
But a maternal bond must really exist.
At bedtime, the kids always go to their mom.
But the problem is, all my wife does at home is work.
So our kids' bedtime has been pushed farther and farther back.
- They go to bed around 1am now. - Oh, my.
- That's not good. - The babies?
I try to put them to bed earlier, but it's hard.
(When are you coming?)
- Look at him. - Look at him.
- Play it. - Look at him.
- He's crying. - Stop crying.
It's 11:30pm.
Oh, my.
(Crying)
He must be sleepy.
He's sleepy.
(Mom is on a business trip in China.)
Their mom is in China.
Is he looking for his mom?
My goodness.
He's crying all the time.
In every video.
This happens a lot.
- Who is that? - Is their mom back?
(She's working with her son in her arms.)
She's looking at her phone.
She's working again.
- That's so sad. - He's playing alone.
The baby...
"Mom, play with me."
(Mom is focusing on her work.)
(I'm bored.)
Oh, my.
My goodness.
If I were the baby, I'd be so sad.
The baby doesn't know what to do.
He's probably given up.
Why are you tearing up?
Do you feel sorry?
A little.
(Can you put our kids first now?)
Couldn't you focus more on your kids now?
- When they grow up a bit, - Whey they grow up...
you could focus on your work again.
I'm not sure if clients will want me then.
(I hate you, Mom.)
- Right. - Right now...
- It's not easy. - Then...
are you planning to focus more on your kids in the future?
When they start remembering things.
When they're 5 or 6.
When they start remembering things?
- They know everything already. - It's not that they don't remember.
They know everything.
It'll show up in the end.
- That's true. - Even if you think...
- they can't talk or remember yet. - Right.
I don't remember much of my elementary school days.
But...
- The thing is... - When you're three months old...
Fine, let's say you're right.
If you suddenly try to bond with your kids in the future...
- being nice to them, will it work? - Exactly.
I'd be sad if they hate me.
But as long as they don't hate me, it'll be okay.
(Shocked)
(She's missing out on something more important than work.)
I'm working for my family.
I want my husband to try harder.
- She reminds me of my father. - You want him to help you.
When husbands come home,
they don't do any house chores. And they barely look at the kids.
We've received so many stories like that from wives so far.
- Right. - And the husbands say,
"I'm doing all this for the family."
Is food all we need? Do we only have a stomach?
We have emotions, a heart and a brain.
Is everything okay as long as our stomach is filled?
(A family should try to be happy together.)
It seems like you've been putting up with many things.
What are you most unhappy about?
Our family has to live...
according to my wife's schedule.
We need conversations,
but we don't have any time for that.
We stick together all the time.
- But that's work. - That's work.
(She seems to only understand her clients.)
You still need conversations...
as husband and wife.
- Even if you stick together... - I think...
it's because we haven't made many memories yet...
that we still feel like newlyweds.
- I like it. - They have different opinions.
She's very good at self-justification.
You two might stay newlyweds...
until you turn 90.
Like you got married again.
If you care so much about your clients,
why don't you think of your kids as your VIP clients?
You could manage them like your clients.
Maybe in the future.
But not right now.
- As the clients can't talk yet? - Exactly.
- They can't remember things. - Right.
(Do you love work that much?)
There's a reason why I sent our story to this show.
- The biggest reason. - My wife...
might look okay on the outside,
but her health is quite bad right now.
Her thyroid is badly swollen.
She even had surgery.
But even when she was having surgery,
she didn't want to go to a big hospital because she had to wait.
So she did a biopsy at a small clinic.
- Oh, my. - And...
she's often sick these days.
She even has bloody discharge.
- Goodness. - That's serious.
Her health is getting worse and worse.
But she doesn't want to change.
You said there was no problem,
but there is.
I was shocked.
I have to talk a lot at work.
If the surgery goes wrong,
- my voice might get damaged. - You were worried about work.
- Yes. I was worried about that. - Oh, my.
- You love work so much. - Then...
why did you marry your husband?
What kind of life did you want?
I wanted to be with him all the time.
You sound like you have a multiple personality disorder.
It gave me goosebumps.
We stick together all the time now.
What if your husband regrets...
marrying you or thinks...
this is unfair?
He's never said that to me.
- He's probably holding it back. - It's because he loves you.
- You don't even talk much. - He's holding it back.
If he says that to you, will you listen?
"Is that what he's thinking?"
"Is that giving him a hard time?"
Then are you ready to change?
You were afraid your husband would stop you,
so you always just notified things.
You're not ready to have a conversation, are you?
You don't even give him a chance to talk.
You're saying he's okay because he hasn't said anything.
It doesn't really make sense.
(Please think about your family.)
Their son is in the waiting room,
and he's been looking for his parents.
Let him be with his mom at least here.
He'll come on stage for a moment.
- Gosh. - How adorable.
- Hi. - He's adorable.
- Oh, my. - Hi.
- How cute. - Oh, my.
How adorable.
He's so cute.
- What's his name? - His skin is so bright.
- It's Si On. - Si On.
- Your mom is crying. - He's looking for his mom.
Where's Mom?
- Where's Mom? - Look for your mom.
- Where's Mom? - Call his name.
Si On!
Where is she?
- Where's Mom? - Si On, Mom is over here.
- Over there. - Let's see if he can find her.
Over there.
He must have forgotten his mom's face.
Where's Mom, Si On?
(I'm sleepy.)
He's sad that his mom doesn't play with him.
Oh, my.
Let me give you an example.
Let's say Si On's health has become bad.
His nose bleeds, but he's too busy studying to even eat.
Would you try to stop him? He says, "I love studying."
But his nose bleeds.
"Mom, Dad, what's wrong with studying hard?"
Would you try to stop him or not?
I would stop him.
Right?
(She finally starts thinking about her family.)
(I feel sorry.)
This is a good chance.
- You can come down. - Otherwise, she doesn't have time.
Mom.
(Mom)
- He wants to be with his mom. - Don't use your phone now.
Let me tell you what happened when I was a kid.
My father's parents gave my mom a hard time,
so she once ran away from home.
She did come back after a few days.
I couldn't talk yet at that time.
I just stood behind my dad and watched her.
That...
still hurts my mom to this day.
(The expression on Jae Rim's face at that time still hurts her.)
So when I got angry at her as a kid...
she cried and apologized to me.
Even though she was away for just a few days...
- I couldn't talk... - because she was suffering,
it hurt her for the rest of her life.
(If you continue to work all the time,)
(won't you regret later as a mother?)
The time we have with our kids right now...
never returns.
I want you to try to spend at least a 10th...
of the time you spend with others...
with our family from now on.
I heard this will air...
on August 12, which is my wife's birthday.
It just happened to be that way.
At least that day...
- He's so romantic. - At least that day,
I want to watch the show with you...
and our kids and have dinner together...
talking about many things.
- Oh, my. - He's an amazing husband.
He's so romantic.
You married an amazing man.
I falsely believed...
that I was working for my family.
I'm really sorry.
Thank you for still loving me. I love you. And thank you.
Please apologize to your son too.
Si On, I'll try to be better to you.
- All right. - He answered.
(As much as she feels responsible at work,)
(she should feel responsible as a mom and wife too.)
- Tae Hoon, is it a worry? - Is it a worry?
Do I have to cover it?
No, you don't.
(Pressing)
Look. You didn't have to cover it.
(Tae Hoon thinks it's a worry.)
(It's a worry.)
I think it's a worry too.
I think it's a worry.
It's a worry.
I think it's a worry.
If you put yourself in your kids' shoes,
you'd feel so sad.
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.
Please show us the result.
"I Want My Wife Back". Many people pressed the button.
I'm sure it's over 100.
What will he get? 100?
It's 161.
(He got 161 votes.)
"That's Enough".
Hello.
I love it.
I am a girl in her 20s from Changwon.
I have a brother who is four years older.
Since we were young, he's been proud of me.
"Hey, my sister became school president."
"Isn't that incredible?"
"Hey, my sister's business..."
"is doing so well. She earned so much money."
"Isn't that incredible?"
The problem is that he keeps saying these things...
- to his girlfriend. - Goodness.
(Oh, dear.)
"My girlfriend got really upset today."
"I can't understand why."
"What did you say to her?"
She kept saying she wants to lose weight.
So I told her. "My sister doesn't eat anything..."
"after 6pm. She works out 2 to 3 hours a day every day."
- She would hate it. - "Be like my sister, will you?"
My gosh.
(My gosh.)
"What's wrong with saying that?"
Because of this, his relationships always end sadly.
"I broke up again."
"This is all your fault."
- Why? - "Why is it my fault?"
"If my sister doesn't approve you, I won't date you."
When I said that to her,
she broke up with me.
Why...
Why does he keep talking about me...
to his girlfriend?
What if my brother...
stays single forever?
Please stop my brother.
(Please stop my brother.)
(That's unbelievable.)
Do you have any siblings?
I have an elder brother.
- What is he like? - If he does this,
I would be like, "What's wrong with you? Stop it."
But he actually does it in my back.
He brags about you.
He does.
But when I hear it, I cringe.
I am sure he doesn't do it to his girlfriend.
He doesn't have a girlfriend.
(Fortunately, he's single.)
That's a sad story.
- My brother... - He must brag about you.
- No. He says... - His sister is YooA.
I am the ugliest member of OH MY GIRL.
- How could he say that to you? - He's very precise.
(To her brother, she's the ugliest member.)
You say the opposite.
You agree, don't you, Seunghee?
You agree with her brother.
Siblings are shy about complimenting each other.
They can't compliment each other.
Let's meet the sister. Please come on out.
(She's worried about her brother who keeps...)
(bragging about her to his girlfriend.)
(She's pretty.)
(Kim Yeo Myeong)
Does your brother really brag about you to his girlfriend?
Yes. He's 33 this year.
He's been in 4 to 5 relationships.
All his former girlfriends said he likes his sister too much.
They broke up with him because they couldn't date someone like him.
What does he brag about?
That I am smart and that I work out hard.
When his girlfriend is stressed about her weight,
- You shouldn't meddle. - he tells her that I don't...
eat after 6pm. But I eat.
He says those things.
- But you eat. - He tells her that I work out...
He tells her what is not true?
- He exaggerates things. - He exaggerates.
He says I do it rain or shine. I don't work out when it rains.
(When it's raining or snowing, you take a day off.)
But he says those things.
- That's... - He exaggerates a bit.
He tends to exaggerate things a lot.
"If my sister doesn't approve you,"
"I won't date you."
- Then his girlfriend would... - Even I wouldn't...
date a guy who says that to me.
- Of course. - He's not his own man.
You date because you like each other.
Perhaps he's just too proud of you.
Since I was young, he's been really...
fond of me.
My mom once said to us. "It's hard to raise you both."
"I called the orphanage van to pick you up."
- She's intense. - "Pack up."
Crying, my brother said, "Mom, I am seven,"
"but my sister is only three. She's too young."
He said he would go to the orphanage alone.
(My goodness.)
It's making me tearful.
That's so cute.
Actually, isn't it better to compliment you...
than to say bad things?
I also think the complimenting part is good.
But he tells his girlfriend...
exactly what I say.
- Gosh. - He tells her exactly what you say.
He'd show me his new girlfriend's photo and ask me what I think.
- He shows you her photo. - Yes.
You will see him later, but my brother is ugly.
But strangely, all his girlfriends have been beautiful.
So...
- "Strangely". - Your brother's ugly,
but his girlfriends have been beautiful.
I said, "She's pretty, but she looks feisty."
He would skip the part...
where I said she's pretty.
He says to her, "My sister said you look feisty."
- Why does he do that? - Why does he do that?
- He said that. - Think about it.
What if you don't say anything...
when he shows you a photo?
- Say nothing. - I tried that too.
- "I don't know." - "I don't know."
"I don't know."
- "I don't know." - "I didn't think about it."
- This is what he would say to her. - What did he say to her?
- What did he say to her? - "My sister is..."
"not interested in you."
"I think she doesn't like you."
It's true though. You said you don't know.
Whenever they break up, he comes to me and...
- He blames you. - Yes.
One time, I felt so wronged.
I said, "What have I done?" And I cried.
But he still didn't know what was wrong.
- Does he really like her? - He's a strange brother.
That's not a compliment. He's making her...
sound like a bad person.
- Why does he do this? - Or...
Have you never compared your boyfriend to your brother?
I am sorry to say this, but I am not interested in him.
Most siblings are like that.
- Most siblings are like that. - That's what siblings are like.
- That's what siblings are like. - Right.
You don't talk about your siblings.
Let's meet her mysterious brother.
- Aren't you curious about him? - Brother.
(They are curious about him.)
Hello.
(Who's the brother who overly brags about her sister?)
He looks like a good man.
(He looks like a good man.)
Did you know that your sister was worried enough...
to take the matter to Hello?
I am worried about...
I think the other people's worries are real worries.
- But not this. - Right.
But this is not really a worry.
It might seem like a joke.
- What? - No.
We think this is going to win.
This seems like the biggest worry.
(Well...)
Is this a worry?
I'm having a hard time grasping it.
Your sister even cried her hearts out.
I just said those things as jokes.
One day, she told me this.
"I think I ruined your life."
She said that to me while crying.
So I thought I should stop doing that.
But when time passed... People don't change easily.
- I relapsed. - But is it true...
you broke up with your girlfriends because of your sister?
Two girls I recently broke up with both said it.
They felt that nobody in the family would be on their side...
if they were to marry me.
They said I would...
(They all sigh.)
- Is this a serious problem? - Yes.
- Of course. - Yes, it is.
They thought I would side with my sister...
and that they would find it hard to tolerate.
You resolve not to do it anymore.
So why do you talk about your sister...
whenever you have a girlfriend?
I want to meet a woman who likes my sister...
and who gets along with my sister.
(He wants to marry a woman who gets along with his sister.)
What kind of a standard is that?
People are going mad.
You are going to marry a woman who gets along well with your sister?
- Why? - Why?
Is your ideal type someone who gets along well with your sister?
Then you can just marry your sister's friend.
Right.
Right. Right.
You can ask her to introduce you to her friend.
Why don't you do that?
He asked me to introduce him to someone I am close to.
- Right. - He already asked me that.
But I don't want to lose my close friend.
(He's knocked down.)
- I get her. - Bingo.
- She's right. - She just attacked with a fact.
(Please leave me out of your relationship.)
What about your sister are you so proud of?
- Right. - Since she was little,
she's always been school president and class president.
- She's got leadership. - She's smart too.
This is embarrassing, but until I was...
in grade four, I couldn't learn the multiplication table.
So Mom held up a whip...
and made me learn it.
But when I reached the fourth one, my mind went blank.
My sister would listen in the next room...
and say, "Mom, 4 times 5 is 20, isn't it?" She was like that.
Also, ladies in town...
usually call a mother by the first child's name.
- Right. - Whenever someone did that,
although my sister was very young, she corrected them.
"She's not Han's mom. She's Yeo Myeong's mom."
She always wanted to prove herself, and she always worked hard.
I was proud of her, so I kept talking about her.
Whenever she did things well like that,
didn't you feel jealous?
I thought that was cute.
(He thought she was cute.)
- You thought that was cute. - Yes.
- He's an angel. - We get...
that you are very proud of her.
But why would you compare your lovely girlfriend...
to your sister? Especially when it's about something...
as sensitive as losing weight?
My ex-girlfriend said she was worried about gaining weight.
But she said she kept craving for night snacks.
I thought I should motivate her.
So I told her my sister doesn't eat anything after 6pm...
and that she exercises for 2 to 3 hours after 10pm.
I told her that was how you lose weight.
- I told her that... - "That's how you lose weight."
to motivate her to lose weight.
What if you skip the part "my sister"?
What if you say some celebrity does that?
You shouldn't mention a celebrity either.
- You can't? - You shouldn't compare.
- Don't compare. - Right.
You could say that's what a lot of people do...
and suggest her what to do.
No, he should say, "You are pretty as you are."
- That's what he should say. - That's what you should say.
Didn't you know that?
When she first says it, I say that.
- But if she repeats 3, 4 times... - You tell her the truth then?
- I end up speaking my mind. - You still have to tell her.
"What if I eat all of this and become like a pig?"
"Don't worry. I can love a pig then."
(Dong Yeob is so sweet.)
- Right? - "I will love a pig then."
- I like that. - That's really good.
- Of course. - Right?
(Did you hear that?)
Isn't it wrong to say something that might cause misunderstanding?
I believe the most important thing in a relationship...
is honesty.
(Honesty is the most important in a relationship.)
I'm also bad at lying.
- That's the problem. - Of course, you shouldn't lie...
- to your girlfriend, - That's the problem.
but there are things you shouldn't tell her.
- You should know that. - Let's ask his sister.
Is your brother an inflexible type?
Yes, he is. He can never tell a lie.
And I think he is...
- a little tactless too. - That's why he said such things.
Then let me ask you something.
- You came on this show, - Yes.
and saw Se Jeong in person. What was your first impression on her?
Tell us honestly.
I think she's very pretty.
- Do you? - Yes.
- Well, what about this one? - Honesty is...
What's your first impression...
- on Yeong Ja? - Say she looks so cute.
(She's sitting like a lady.)
(What do you think of Yeong Ja?)
(His answer will be revealed shortly.)
(Part 2 will begin shortly.)
- Well, what about this one? - Honesty is...
(What is your first impression on Yeong Ja?)
What's your first impression...
- on Yeong Ja? - Say she looks so cute.
(She's sitting like a lady.)
(What do you think of Yeong Ja?)
- She seems a bit intimidating. - I'm not as fat as expected, right?
- I think. - "She seems a bit intimidating"?
(He's right.)
- "Intimidating"? - What?
I'm not as fat as you thought, right?
Pardon?
He's inflexible indeed.
He's tactless.
When he has a fight with his girlfriend,
he gathers the whole family.
(His family is forced to gather!)
"Was it really wrong of me? Wasn't it her fault?"
He wants us to be the judge.
I don't share good things that happened...
between me and my girlfriend.
- Why? - You don't share good things...
(Does anybody know why he does that?)
She just said, "Why on earth does he do that?"
- She's speechless. - She's so adorable.
She just can't understand him.
- Then do you tell your family... - He's innocent.
whenever you take your relationship to the next level...
- like when you kiss her? - No. I shouldn't tell such things.
(Adamant)
- Why? - I should protect her privacy.
- Why is that? - Why shouldn't you tell that?
- You tell everything else. - Why not? You're not honest.
- You should tell your family. - Tae Gyun is right.
You lack consistency.
Tell us right here.
- Your family must be so curious. - Exactly.
But I should protect my girlfriend's privacy.
That's right. You have to protect her privacy.
- Other things are private as well. - That's right.
- He's right. - But I'm a man of principle.
(I'm a man of principle!)
- I don't think you are. - You don't seem like it.
What are your principles?
I believe that I must put my family first,
but after I get married, I must put my wife first,
and my wife and kids should come first no matter what.
So I'll pretend I don't even know my family.
- What? - Can you please not go too extreme?
Please don't try to figure out who is more important,
- and try to love your family... - I'm taken aback.
- and your girlfriend... - He's weird, right?
at the same time. Can't you do that?
She kept laughing and said,
"My brother is weird, right?"
He's weird.
(I'm just honest. That's all.)
If your brother stops telling his girlfriend about you,
would it resolve all of your worries?
I thought he told only his girlfriends, but it turned out...
he also told his friends from school and work colleagues...
He tells everyone about you?
Yes. They all say they heard a lot about me when they first meet me.
If I'm dating a man,
they say, "I heard you're dating this kind of man."
"I heard about his job,"
"where he lives,"
"and which car he has."
- Even about his car? - Yes. He tells everything.
I think he's too talkative.
- Yes. I actually am. - He gives too much information.
He just admitted it.
However, I never tell anyone about what she asks me...
not to tell anyone.
He's lying. If I ask him not to tell anyone about something,
he says, "My sister told me not to tell this to anyone, but..."
- What's that? - Gosh, seriously.
- He says exactly what she said. - I mean, are you...
Are you a parrot or what?
Are you a voice recorder or what?
No. It's not like that.
When I contemplate between being honest with my girlfriend,
- and keeping the promise... - I hate to hear it so much.
that I made to my sister,
I think I tend to choose to be honest with my girlfriend.
That's how romantic I am.
(That's how romantic I am.)
He says he's romantic. Gosh.
A romantic man would never break up with his girlfriend like you did.
You're more like a storyteller.
He has a lot of stories to tell.
He's also very talkative at home.
As soon as he comes home, he asks my mom where I am.
Even when she says I'm sleeping,
he stands next to my bed while I'm lying on it,
he says, "I'll tell you what happened earlier today."
(He starts talking.)
(I feel like my ears are going to bleed.)
- He tells me everything. - While you're watching TV,
- Exactly. - he goes on about what happened.
When I take a shower or go to the bathroom,
- I'm sure he won't follow you. - he talks outside the bathroom.
- My goodness. - Outside the bathroom?
Yes. He goes on chatting outside the bathroom.
"Isn't it awesome? Something awesome happened yesterday."
There are so many things that he thinks are awesome.
He won't stop talking about those awesome things.
Why are so many awesome things happen to him?
I don't know.
(It must be stressful.)
It can be stressful for his parents as well.
It must be stressful.
They must be frustrated. Let's meet his parents.
Hello, ma'am.
Hello. It's nice to see you all.
Were you worried about your son as well?
Well... I didn't think it was serious enough...
to come on a TV show, but since I've heard what she said,
I realized that I shouldn't overlook the matter.
Since he kept causing trouble,
I came up with a drastic measure.
I told my son not to say a word.
Although I said it, it seems hard for him to refrain himself.
- You knew about it too. - Yes, I did.
Did your son always brag about his sister so much...
even to you and your husband since he was a little boy?
Since he was a little boy,
he always went to her room the first thing in the morning.
- My goodness. - He touched her face,
and held her hands...
- saying she looks like a princess. - Oh, my.
"Hey, grow up quickly, so you can hear what I say."
(It was his big picture.)
Oh, please.
He's been unusually affectionate to his sister since he was a child.
She brought a few photos of them when they were little.
- We should see them. - Let's take a look.
- Their mother is good with words. - They look so cute.
How cute.
- She was pretty back then. - She's so cute.
- They were always together. - She looks so pretty.
- Right. - They're together in every photo.
- How adorable. - They're kissing.
She's been indulging him since then.
He's giving her a piggyback ride.
They were very close back then.
- However, - He looks so happy.
I have a question. Why do you think your son became so talkative?
She's also good with words.
They say, "Like father, like son". He's just like his father.
- Is your husband also chatty? - Yes. It's so stressful...
because he tells me every little thing.
I don't think I'm chatty.
My wife just said that I'm chatty.
Actually, I can give you an example.
- You sound chatty. - I think he's chatty.
Not long ago,
- Typhoon Danas hit Korea. - That's right.
It was the fifth typhoon of the year. I could've just said...
- things like that we should... - He's explaining again.
- keep the windows closed. - Typhoon?
But I said that Danas was named in the Philippines,
and it means "experience".
I went on about its wind speed and everything,
and said it would weaken by the time it arrived in Jindo.
I always go on and on about details like this.
And I realize that no one is listening at some point.
(You are also too talkative.)
That's sad.
Do you think you're more talkative than your son or vice versa?
- I think my son is more talkative. - I see.
My dad is much more talkative than me.
- Really? - I'll explain to you.
My dad used to be a public servant.
- His father won't put down his mic. - When I was...
in high school, I came home with a lot of the stories to tell...
about what happened at school from the morning to the evening...
- "With a lot of stories to tell". - Yes.
- He had a bunch of stories. - A bunch of stories.
He went home with a bunch of stories to tell.
(A bunch of stories)
- That's so funny. - But when I came home,
my mom was already listening to my dad's stories.
Ma'am, I think you should also come down the stage.
- You must be worried as well. - She must be stressed out too.
- Nevertheless, above all, - My gosh.
- we can see how much he loves... - Exactly.
- his sister. - Right.
- I think he's very good to you. - I think so too.
I don't think that he's so good to me because...
he asks me what he should eat every morning.
- He asks that? - He asks you to make him breakfast?
Yes, he wants me to make him breakfast. And he comes to me...
to ask what clothes he should wear.
Or he says, "I'll dress like this today."
"I'll wear this shirt with these pants."
He won't go out until I say he looks okay.
On top of asking me to choose the clothes to wear,
when he celebrated the 100th day anniversary with his girlfriend,
he told me to buy a wallet for her within his budget.
- He made me do it. - He told you to shop for him?
- Yes. - I see.
That's not right.
(It's not understandable.)
(He says he adores me, but he's all talk.)
You brag so much about your sister to people you meet.
Then why do you make her do all sorts of things...
- at home? - Exactly.
That's true. I admit that it must be stressful for her.
- He admitted it. - He admitted it suddenly.
- As her elder brother, - Right.
what are the nice things you do for her?
I always provide her with emotional stability.
(I always provide her with emotional stability.)
She's here because she's not emotionally stable.
- What did he say? - "Emotional stability".
If I cause trouble all the time,
I would cause my family so much grief.
So I always tell my family that I'm not that great,
but I will never do anything wrong to be on the news.
I think that's good enough.
- We've never been... Wait, I have. - We've never been on the news.
I have been on the news.
(I almost forgot about it.)
The two of us won't say anything.
(He got humiliated when he said nothing.)
(All right.)
(My head hurts.)
It seems to me...
- that he relies on you very much. - That's right.
- That's right. - Am I right?
I think it's partly true.
When I see how well she does her job,
I respect her.
Also, in fact, I sing for a living.
- I majored in vocal performance. - Really?
- I see. - Since I'm a singer,
and being an artist...
is not a stable job,
So I'm worried I might become a burden to her...
in the future.
I have gotten a chance to meet the owner...
of a large musical entertainment agency alone.
He saw my performance at the audition,
and this is what he said at the end.
"You have a voice of a lead actor,"
"but your appearance isn't suitable for a lead actor."
"So I don't think you can last long in this industry."
- That's ridiculous. - That's what he said.
Because of that comment, I had a hard time.
(He lost confidence and had a hard time.)
(There was a painful memory behind his cheerful side.)
Have you ever told anyone...
about what you just told us?
No, I've never told my parents or my sister.
I don't usually talk about serious things because if I do,
I know they would worry about me.
So I just keep negative things to myself.
Have you always seen him cheerful?
- Have you not heard this before? - No, I haven't.
I didn't know that he had a thought like that.
How do you feel about what he said?
I can just work hard to support him financially.
- You'll support your brother? - Yes.
(The siblings are so nice like angels.)
Ma'am, you've never heard him say such things before. How do you feel?
Since I've never heard of anything like that from him until now,
I feel upset.
(She must be more heartbroken than anyone else.)
I wish he said things like this when he talks to us.
It would be more constructive. It's what we need to talk about.
- You're right. - He talks about unnecessary things.
Even when your sister or your parents...
are going through a hard time,
do you want them not to tell you about it?
I like listening to others' worries.
- Exactly. - They feel the same way.
- That doesn't make sense. - Your family feels the same way.
Not only your family, but all other people you know feel that way.
We've heard all the good things about her...
from her brother.
And I'm sure she's also...
very proud of her brother.
- Why don't you brag about him? - That sounds great.
- As you can tell, he's so nice. - Indeed.
Although he's not handsome...
What's wrong with his face? He's not that bad.
Why would you ruin his self-esteem?
When he smiles,
- He looks like Tony An. - That's right.
- You're right. He does. - Right?
- I agree. - He looks familiar somehow.
He's a great singer.
- He is? - Yes.
- Can we hear him sing? - I want to hear him sing.
(We're all curious.)
(He stands up right away.)
(He's recharging his confidence.)
It'll be more touching if you keep your eyes closed.
We'll do whatever we want.
He's giving too much information again.
Don't tell us what to do.
Let's close our eyes as he asked.
(You can do it, my brother.)
("Thanks" by Kim Dong Ryul)
(He carefully starts to exude his charms.)
(As he majored in vocal performance, he vocalizes skillfully.)
(His voice entertains everyone's ears.)
(It makes everyone's heart flutter.)
I think I know now
Meeting you
(He wins the audience's hearts through his song.)
(It's my happiness)
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E425 'Hello Counselor' "I Want My Wife Back" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
I have goosebumps.
He's amazing.
(The highest audience satisfaction level has been reached.)
He gave me goosebumps.
He's amazing. Suddenly, he looks completely different.
Awesome! He was so amazing. I loved it.
I really enjoyed it. Even singers get nervous when they're asked...
- to sing suddenly. - They get nervous.
But he did a great job.
- Exactly. Wasn't he amazing? - Thank you.
- It was so sweet. - He has a sweet voice.
He just has to learn to be tactful when speaking.
I think he'll be very popular.
His appearance suits his gentle image so well.
Absolutely. It's so good to see how happy your family is.
And you have a good family.
However, instead of telling others about good things about your sister,
use your pride to improve your self-esteem.
"I have such a great sister. I'm so relieved and proud."
With this mindset,
you should compliment the person you're talking to instead.
I have a question.
- May I? - Go ahead.
I wonder what question it could be.
Hasn't it been a long time since a guest asked us a question?
- If I tell... - Actually, this is the first time.
good things about my sister to my girlfriend,
wouldn't my girlfriend consider me...
- as a family man? - No, never.
- No, no. - No.
- Ladies, please explain to him. - Se Jeong, please tell him.
It doesn't make a girl think that you're a family man.
"I am me. I'm not his sister."
"Why would he compare me to his sister?"
Your girlfriend can tell how happy your family is,
and how well your family members get along with each other...
from the way you behave and the vibe...
- you give off naturally. - That's right.
- You don't have to tell her. - It'd make her uncomfortable.
You can just let her notice it.
- Exactly. - Naturally.
You don't have to explain it to her.
Say a word to your brother before we wrap up.
Wait, no. Say a word to his future girlfriend instead.
- That's a great idea. - Oh, my.
(Shy)
Hello. My family will never be hostile towards you.
We want to get along with you well as a family.
We'll be good to you,
so please be with my brother for a very long time.
My goodness. That was so sweet. I see why he likes her so much.
You know how much I like you, right?
From now on, whenever I want to brag about you,
I'll hold back 4 or 5 times.
I'll fix it gradually like that.
And I hope I can marry my future girlfriend.
(We wish you a happy end.)
Let's start with Tae Hoon.
- Okay. I don't think it's a worry. - Okay.
- I can feel their affection. - Indeed.
I don't think it's a worry.
I hope you two will maintain a good relationship.
I hope you'll meet a pretty girl and marry her.
(Seunghee doesn't 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...
- One. - Time's up.
"That's Enough". Please show us the result.
I saw many of them press the button.
- How many votes did she get? - No way.
- 103 votes. - My goodness.
She got many votes.
"A Critical, New Marriage".
Hello. My husband is 27,
- and I'm 24 years old. - She's 24 years old.
- They're very young. - I'm a married woman.
She got married early.
We've been married for seven months.
I thought we would be happy and romantic in early years, but...
"Honey, you're home."
"You must be tired from work. Thank you for your hard work."
"All right. Good. I killed one."
- It's a mobile phone game. - Okay. Got it.
You can connect your phone to a television.
"Thank you for your hard work."
(Imitating game sound)
"You're hungry, right? Let's eat."
(Imitating game sound)
"Honey, stop playing the game. Can't you just quit it?"
"Gosh. Can't I spend some time alone?"
"Gosh. She irks me so much."
We've been married for 7 years, I mean, 7 months.
My husband always says he wants to spend time alone.
"Honey, can't you go out for a walk with me tonight?"
"I'm sorry, but I'm too tired. I'll just get some rest."
"Honey, don't you think this is too harsh?"
"You always rest alone and play alone."
"Why did you even marry me if you were going to live like this?"
"Fine. I understand what you mean."
"Let's get divorced."
(I understand what you mean. Let's get divorced.)
- Just like that? - What was that?
This is not my story. It's not what I said.
- I'm sorry. - It's not my story.
We just got married,
but he said we should get divorced...
- over 10 times in the past 7 years. - Gosh.
- He said it more than once a month. - What is wrong with him?
Please teach my husband a lesson.
- That's all. - Thank you.
(Please scold my husband.)
He's addicted to video games.
Her husband is 27 years old,
and she's a 24-year-old housewife.
- Se Jeong, how old are you? - She's...
- I'm 24. - You understand English. You're 24?
- I was born in 1996, the Rat year. - Right?
- You're 24? - The year of the Rat.
Se Jeong, when are you planning to get married?
Me? After I build a successful career,
I'll get married in my late 30s.
- That's too early. - Should I get married in my 40s?
Do you think it's early?
- It's too early. - In fact, people get married...
- later than that these days. - It's early from her perspective.
Let's bring out the guest.
(Who is living with a husband who asks for a divorce so easily?)
(Park Ye Eun)
(Welcome, our guest who is the same age as us.)
You've been married only for seven months.
But your husband said he wanted to divorce you 10 times?
Yes. We registered our marriage in January.
We met each other in university.
- You dated him in university? - Yes, I did.
- Your husband was your senior? - I am his senior.
How dare he asked his senior for a divorce?
- What are you talking about? - I'm sorry.
- That's such a conservative view. - I'm sorry.
It's hard to talk about divorce between a married couple.
- Of course. - You shouldn't say it that easily.
But he said it too easily, and I was disappointed in him.
- Of course, you were. - He shouldn't have said it.
Why does your husband keep saying he wants to divorce you?
He seems to think he doesn't have enough time alone.
I don't think so though.
- He comes home at 7pm after work. - At 7pm?
He spends 3 or 4 hours at an Internet cafe.
Does he stop by an Internet cafe before coming home?
Yes. And on his rest days,
he spends over 10 hours there.
- Over 10 hours? - My gosh.
- And... - What else does he do at home?
He's on his phone.
- Playing games? - Yes.
(He does it more than you.)
When does he talk about wanting a divorce?
- It's like... - Give us an example.
Do you say, "Honey, let's eat," and he says that?
- Is it like this? - Come on.
- What kind of situation is it? - It's usually...
when he's spending time alone.
When I ask him to talk with me...
and he gets emotional, he says that.
I don't ask him much.
- I ask him what he's done today. - "What did you do today?"
Or I ask him what he ate.
But he doesn't want to talk.
(I get why she's upset.)
- What's his name? - Lee Seung Joon.
- Seung Joon? Seung Joon. - Someone keeps smiling.
(Is he the one who keeps asking his wife for a divorce?)
Do you understand her worry?
There are times when I can and times when I can't.
But since I say it often,
I do feel bad.
It seems like he speaks a bit differently than us.
Is it right?
Yes.
I'm deaf in one of my ears.
I have a hearing disability.
- You have difficulties hearing. - That's why...
I sound inarticulate.
- I see. - And I'm tense now.
He can't hear well.
You can speak freely.
Anyway, why do you keep asking for a divorce?
Exactly.
What's wrong is wrong.
I think I blurt it out subconsciously when I'm irritated.
Subconsciously?
When I'm playing a game...
and someone speaks to me,
I get irritated and say that.
(I just want to talk.)
Then how about replacing "let's get a divorce,"
- with something else? - Right.
For example, "Let's sleep in different rooms!"
"You should play games too."
Or "I love you!"
(Jae Rim gives an example.)
(That's the right answer.)
If you do, she'd want you to play games every day.
(She's in love with the thought of it.)
Do you keep blurting it out...
because she's stopping you from gaming?
Or is there another reason?
To be honest, the other reason is much bigger.
- It's not the only reason. - Really?
She tends to be obsessive.
That's why I'm getting exhausted by it.
We talk on the phone about 10 times.
And each phone call lasts about 5 to 6 hours.
- What? - What?
- Each phone call? - There are only 24 hours in a day.
We talk for 5 to 6 hours every day.
- That's the maximum? - It's the total.
Also, she tags along when I meet my friends.
My friends are sick of it.
- We want to hang out alone, - Right.
but she keeps following me.
They asked me why she was so obsessive over me.
But after hearing what he said,
- it sounds like he should be here. - Yes, a bit.
Either we go there or he comes here.
(The tables have turned.)
If you follow him when he's out meeting his friends,
don't you think he'll be in a difficult situation?
If they told me about it,
I wouldn't have gone.
- Really? - Of course. I'd just send him.
But neither he nor his friends...
have told me about this.
Even if they don't say it to you, you should be sharp-sighted.
There's a famous saying these days.
"Know when to be involved and when not to."
Right, I'm not that sharp-sighted, but I had no idea.
- Did you finally find out today? - Yes.
Then why haven't you told her before...
about how uncomfortable it was?
She gets hurt easily.
She sulks easily,
and I didn't want that.
(They both had their reasons.)
Is she obsessive at other times too?
Yes, she is.
When I come home from work,
she asks to see my phone.
- Why? - She looks through...
my address book and call log.
- My goodness. - She looks through it.
You should switch places.
- Come on over here. - Yes.
- She does that every day. - Every day?
It made me wonder if I had any privacy.
- It really did. - I understand.
It feels like I have no time for myself.
- I can understand him more. - Then...
- it's time for us to ask her. - Actually,
I don't go through it because I suspect him.
Like I said, I want to chat with him.
But since he refuses, I turn to doing that.
Do you not chat at all?
We don't talk at all.
I feel like she's always with me...
24 hours a day. That's why...
I started wanting more time for myself.
Then have you been playing games...
for longer periods of time because of this?
Since I like to play games...
- I think you like it too much. - Right.
I started gaming when I was five.
Because of my disability, I had no friends.
My parents both worked as well.
Before meeting her,
I played games 12 to 18 hours a day.
So I became more attached to gaming.
- That was your only friend. - Yes.
Did your mother work in a wedding-related occupation?
(Did she?)
(It reminds them of someone.)
Were you the youngest?
We're just curious.
Their dad raised their son.
I can understand him.
I enjoy playing games as well.
What do you say about playing games together?
Yes, go to an Internet cafe together.
I did do that often.
But since I'm not good at gaming,
I watch dramas there.
But after doing that for some time,
- I became tired of it. - Right
So after that, it was difficult for me to tag along with him.
And when I tell him to go home,
he talks about wanting to get a divorce again.
- At the Internet cafe? - There?
In front of everyone?
- Poor part-timer. - Goodness.
I bet the part-timer made a U-turn while serving the drinks.
(The part-timer must've been flustered.)
A friend of theirs came who can tell them...
from a third person's point of view.
I understand her.
Even though she tries to talk with him,
there are many times when he doesn't listen.
It's worse at ICs.
On our way there...
- IC? - Internet cafe?
- It's an abbreviation. - Right.
Once, he spent the night there.
That's dangerous.
There were times when he spent 2 to 3 days there.
- How's that possible? That's crazy. - 2 to 3 days?
Did you know that your friend talked about divorce...
- with his wife often? - Yes.
He talked about a divorce consent twice.
And when they were dating,
he talked about breaking up about eight times.
- Are you... - How do you know that?
- He seems to know everything. - How do you know that?
You're not his lawyer, are you?
What?
- He sounds like a lawyer. - Does he work in family court?
How do you know all this?
Does he tell you?
His wife told me.
She called me.
Since she has no one else to talk to...
- She talked to him. - I talked to him.
How does their marriage look?
He's the only one working,
- so it's a bit difficult. - Does he work alone?
Right now, yes.
- What kind of work do you do? - What do you do?
I work at a distribution center.
A distribution center? Do you use your body?
- You do, right? - Yes, it's difficult.
I get stressed a lot because it's grueling.
What about you?
- Why aren't you working? - I should work.
I took a semester off.
I'm getting ready to land a job.
To be honest...
To be honest, we're living in a "goshitel".
- We weren't very well off, - "Goshitel"?
so we had no choice.
(They're at a loss for words.)
It's a 19m² area.
- That's where the two of you live? - Yes.
- It must be suffocating. - We share a kitchen.
- You share a kitchen? - So it's difficult to have meals.
- It costs more to buy everything. - That's why...
- we eat at a convenience store. - My gosh.
(They're shocked.)
The maximum number of meals we have a day is two.
(Two meals are all they can have.)
If not, we just have one meal.
(If not, we just have one meal.)
(They can't even eat properly.)
My husband is suffering from high blood pressure.
That's why he needs to eat well.
My usual range is from 160 to 190.
I was this way since the age of 19.
You have high blood pressure.
That's when I started taking medicine.
After getting married, we didn't have enough money,
so I stopped taking it.
(He shouldn't have.)
Once, I collapsed.
(She's heartbroken.)
Do your parents know about how you two eat...
and his collapsing?
My mother was against our marriage...
since he had high blood pressure and bad hearing.
My mom was worried about letting me get married...
- to someone like him. - Because he was ill.
She was very worried and against it.
Afterwards, his parents were against it.
(They couldn't receive their parents' blessings.)
They actually aren't aware of this.
- Did you not tell them? - No.
That means once this airs...
They'll finally find out.
They know that you're married, right?
- Yes, they do. - Okay.
We couldn't have a wedding.
We just shot our wedding photos.
(They feel terrible.)
(This is the only photo they could take.)
- You only took a photo. - Their parents were against it.
They probably weren't there. We should congratulate them...
- as if we're guests. - It's a beautiful photo.
(Happy belated marriage!)
(They went through rough patches, but they still want to be happy.)
Was it just you two who went there to take that photo?
- Yes. - Why didn't your friend go?
Right. Why didn't you?
You should have accompanied them as a friend.
- My friend... - I was busy.
He is a true friend.
(They are completely open with each other.)
I am sure a lot of people are going,
"I guess they got married in a hurry because they love each other."
- While they understand that, - That's right.
both parents were against the marriage.
They must also be wondering why you got married in a hurry.
I couldn't deal with my loneliness and anxiety...
at home.
- At home? - Yes.
My mom and I have always been on bad terms.
She has always been cold towards me.
She rarely gave me compliments.
(Her mom was conservative.)
In a sense, I lived like a puppet.
Because of that...
- It was suffocating for you. - I wanted to make a happy family...
to show my mom.
(I wanted to make a happy family to show my mom.)
My family situation is about the same.
My father...
nagged me a lot.
When he kept it short, it lasted two hours.
Otherwise, it lasted four hours.
- That's excessive. - He must have had a lot to say.
Four hours.
My wife's words comforted me.
That's how we fell in love.
The two of you had the same worries.
- They needed each other. - Yes. We were on the same page.
That's what saddens me about this.
You got married to break out of your situation but...
You can't ask for your parents' help...
- because it hurts your pride. - That's right.
(It hurts her pride.)
- I don't want to feel small... - You can't do that anymore.
in front of my parents.
(Her voice trembles.)
Especially your mom, right?
It's okay.
This isn't the result. This is the process.
That's right. This isn't the result.
That's right. You visited the show to live more happily.
I know.
As someone your age,
I feel like you are carrying a burden...
that is too heavy.
The married life might be difficult for you.
You might be at the age...
- to live under your parents' wings. - That might be the case.
Leaving home became...
another burden for you.
- That's right. - Seunghee, you are her age,
but you might not know how things are.
She only prepares new talents when she is on a hiatus.
You could be the female Peter Pan...
who doesn't grow up.
This could be something different,
but I never tell my mom about my struggles.
My goodness.
(She becomes emotional.)
(She had worries of her own.)
(Feeling bad)
You said you feel small before your mom.
You said you always want to show...
your successful side to your mom.
I am the same.
That's why I never go home when I am on a vacation.
If I do that, my heart becomes heavy.
I don't want my mom to see me struggle.
Since I am still not satisfied...
with where I am right now,
it comes as a pressure.
(Seeing her mom this way comes as a pressure.)
That's why I understand how she feels.
It's a similar situation.
When I first heard about the worry,
I thought the problem simply lied...
in the husband's game addiction.
Now, I see the situation is more complex.
You feel a sense of responsibility as the head of the family, right?
One time, my wife and I had a meal at a convenience store.
I watched my wife after I was done eating...
and felt a bit sad.
(I felt a bit sad.)
"Because she met a man like me,"
"she is struggling."
"She could have met someone better."
"Perhaps it's wrong for me to hold on to her."
(She could have met someone better than me.)
I had...
(He becomes emotional.)
I had those thoughts.
Is that why you brought up divorce?
Yes. I felt bad.
(Yes. I felt bad.)
(Because he felt bad that he couldn't provide for her better,)
(he asked her for a divorce.)
Were you striving for anything back in the university?
Perhaps it was a job.
I wanted to be a social worker.
That sounds great.
You should get a license.
I am busy with work and short on money.
I work overtime too often.
If you don't play games for 4 to 12 hours,
- you would have time. - Yes.
You should study that way.
I am also thinking about being a social worker.
- That sounds great. - I know.
- That sounds great. - For now,
I don't want a temporary position.
I want to find a stable job.
I am thinking about going back to university.
Being a social worker is an option I am considering.
(He catches something.)
Judging from what you said so far,
it seems like...
you are considering too many things.
I think it would be better for you to act first.
- That's right. - You can just start first.
That's what I think is important...
at this point.
(You should act first and worry later.)
Even if you are struggling in life,
no parent would go,
"It serves you right for not listening to me."
Parents are happy when you are living well...
and sad when you are struggling.
So you don't need to obsess over showing the good sides.
(You don't need to obsess over showing the good sides.)
Lastly, what do you want from your husband?
Say what you want to say.
To be honest, I am really thankful.
But I am frustrated when you play games.
I want to talk to you.
I hope you would listen to me.
I want to show our parents that...
we are living well.
(I want to show our parents that we are living well.)
Thus, let's live diligently.
That's right.
(Let's stay strong and live diligently.)
Let's go.
Why don't you say a few words to your mom?
Mom, in fact, I am really sorry.
I still have emotional scars from you.
Once they fade, I will visit you.
Thank you. I love you.
(I love you.)
Lastly, tell your wife...
how you really feel.
Thank you for being cheerful by my side...
even though I lack in many ways.
Thank you for following me without any complaints.
(He is emotional beyond words.)
I...
(Seunghee tears up again.)
I will play games less...
and focus on you more...
from now on.
Let's do this.
You won't mention divorce again, right?
- Promise that. - Don't mention divorce again.
What will you say...
- instead of "Let's get a divorce"? - I won't.
What will you say?
(Here)
I will say, "I love you."
(We root for your future.)
- Gosh. - Seunghee.
He already knows the answer.
I want to give him courage.
I want to say the same to you.
(Let go of your burden, Seunghee.)
YooA.
I also don't think it's a worry.
It's okay to be weak in front of your parents sometimes...
as you are still young.
I don't think it's a worry.
I think it's a worry.
If no one presses the button, you might go home and fight.
"It's not 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 how many votes she received.
(The result)
The first place has 161 votes.
Did it get over 100 votes?
(How many people thought it was a worry?)
93 votes.
(93 votes)
Thus, "I Want My Wife Back" won...
this week.
We will give the winner the prize money.
Congratulations.
Until the day we are all worry-free...
Hello will continue to counsel you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
