We will counsel you on your unspeakable concerns.
National Competition...
- On worries! - On worries!
Let me introduce the guests for today.
It's Kim Na Yeong, a woman who's like a vitamin!
Hello, everyone!
He's a brainiac. It's Tyler Rasch!
(He's a well-known brainiac.)
- Oh Ha Young! - Oh Ha Young!
Hello.
She's so pretty.
They're Kang Ju Hee and Kang Seung Hee of Wink!
- Hello! - Hello!
Tyler, isn't this your first time on our show?
- Yes, it is. - Have you watched it before?
I've heard so much about your show.
I'm so happy to be here.
- He wanted to meet Yeong Ja. - I did.
- Really? - Yes.
- A long time ago... - Do you want to meet me...
in private?
No, not like that.
- I mean... - Is this a one-sided love?
I do a radio show...
- with Kim Young Chul. - Right.
- So I was very curious about her. - Right.
I tried to impersonate Young Chul impersonating me.
But I couldn't do it.
(She failed.)
"How can you..." I couldn't do it.
"How can you..."
I couldn't do it.
Na Yeong, you've been wanting to meet Tyler.
Yes. I wanted to ask him a question.
You have kids.
- Right. Right. - What did you want to ask him?
Since when have you been smart?
What are you talking about?
Would he remember it?
Na Yeong, you became tanned.
Right. I stayed in Jeju Island...
for two weeks with my children.
- So you got tanned. - Yes.
I wonder why I did that.
(She regrets it.)
- You regret going in the sun. - Yes.
They are so adorable.
(They are a very happy family.)
We recently celebrated my second child's first birthday.
- First birthday. - Was it in Jeju Island?
They seem very energetic. They seem very healthy.
Yes, the kids must be happy.
The happier the kids are,
the more freckles the mother gets.
Ha Young, you are releasing your first solo album.
As a member of Apink,
I had to accentuate my feminine charms.
So as a solo artist, I wanted to be feisty.
I wanted to appear tough.
I had to pretend to be pretty for years.
You had to appear bubbly and feminine.
Will we be seeing you being all feisty...
and smashing things?
- You won't get to see that. - We won't get to see that.
I will pretend even more to be pretty.
- What's the title of the song? - "Don't Make Me Laugh".
- Can we hear it? - Of course.
(Let us hear it.)
("Don't Make Me Laugh" by Oh Ha Young)
(She's like Aphrodite with unparalleled looks.)
(Gently swaying her hips)
(She's the queen.)
(Please make sure everyone sees how pretty she is.)
You are amazing.
I love the last move.
The floor is nice and clean.
- It's shining. - It's shining.
Wink is very popular...
among elders.
- Thank you. - You're getting even more similar.
- Right. - But truly,
living as twins must...
give you advantages we never expect to get.
When we were 20, she had a boyfriend.
And she had cold sores on her lips.
- Cold sores. - Did you...
She asked me to go on the date on her behalf.
- But... - Did you go?
I told her to go and get the gift. I told her not to do anything else.
- What do you mean by that? - "Don't do anything else."
(What does she mean?)
- What are you talking about? - What do you mean?
- So was he fooled? - Was he fooled?
(What happened?)
He got fooled. He really did.
(No way.)
We asked for the advantage, and they mentioned that.
(It's something only twins can do.)
Before getting started,
if you have any worries, you can tell us now.
Tyler, do you not have worries?
I tend to have a lot of worries.
- I'm interested in the environment. - In the environment.
Yes. We recycle. And recycling is very good.
The problem is that it's cumbersome to recycle food waste.
You have to throw away all the fruit peels.
So I thought, "Why do we have to throw them away?"
I'm sure we could make it into fertilizer.
When it gets into the garbage bin, it goes to a landfill,
and then it turns into methane gas. Methane gas is...
more harmful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
Why can't you put the peels in the food waste bag?
(He's worried about human and the environment's coexistence.)
(You are listening to the lecture of Tyler Rasch.)
In the end, it's bad.
So I want to turn my food waste...
into fertilizer, but I can't. What should I do about it?
- That's my worry. - That's your worry.
He's amazing.
(He's great.)
(He's very proud.)
Don't bring such worry to Hello.
We don't know anything about that.
We have three worries as usual.
Let's see what they are. Show us the keywords.
"War without Truce".
"Taste It".
- "Scary Mom". - Scary?
This is "War without Truce".
Hello. I am a man in his 20s who's been in a war...
he doesn't want for over 10 years.
This is my mom.
"Son, I told you not to use the phone in the morning."
"Okay."
"Stop saying okay."
"How many times did I tell you to carry it out?"
"I said okay. Stop it."
"You always just say okay."
"When I talk to you, my words go through one ear..."
"and out the other ear."
"I told you not to do that."
Because of my mother's nagging, every day is like a war.
"I told you to straighten your back when you watch TV."
"Okay. I will do that."
"When you sit like that, your back will hurt."
"How many times did I tell you?"
"Soon you will have back problem and get a cervical disk problem."
"When you get the cervical disk problem, you will lose your job."
"How will you marry with such a body?"
"You shouldn't live a life like that."
- She's unbelievable. - Her nagging...
is at another level.
She even does this.
"I need to work late at the office."
"I'll be home late."
"What? Work late? Did you say you're working late?"
"You can do it tomorrow."
"Do you absolutely need to do it today?"
"No way. Come home right now."
My mom tells me to come home when I have work late to get things done.
I can't live like this any longer.
Please free me from my mom's nagging.
Please help me.
That's his story.
(It must be tough.)
What are you like Na Yeong as a mother?
Do you nag your children like this?
I trusted my children's judgment.
"Do it when you feel like it. Do it when you feel better."
- That's nice. - But...
my children did that when they shouldn't.
What happened?
Recently, my child hurt his arm,
- and an ambulance had to come. - Gosh.
He had to get in the ambulance.
And he said he would get in when he feels better.
(Even in the painful moment, he asked to be respected.)
He expressed himself.
- He's clever. - He is.
Is he?
(He's cute.)
The 26-year-old young man is here.
- Please come on out. - Please come on out.
(Who wants to be freed from her mother's nagging?)
(He's a handsome man.)
Look at how the ladies react.
(Son In Chang)
Their reactions were funny.
The ladies were like...
(They are happy to see a handsome young man.)
As soon as they saw him, it looked like they were thinking,
"I can put up with a mother-in-law who nags a lot."
(Nagging? I can handle it.)
What does she mostly nag about?
When I look at my phone...
to wake myself up,
she tells me, "Why do you look at your phone..."
"as soon as you open your eyes?"
"Why are you wearing earphones?" She said it was bad for my ears.
"I told you not to wear the earphones."
When I sit on the sofa to wake myself up,
she tells me to sit up straight.
She tells me to sit up straight.
I think she wouldn't nag about the way you dress.
You dress so neatly.
She might have picked them out for him.
Did she pick them out?
Does she cut your hair too?
No.
(It's scary here too, isn't it?)
(You weren't trying to copy my mom, were you?)
- It's hot these days, you know. - Yes.
She would say, "Why are you wearing long pants when it's hot?"
"It's hot just to look at you."
Whenever she sees my face, she says,
"Shouldn't you do something about the pimples?"
When we are going somewhere...
and I am driving, she says,
"Why do you change the lanes so often?"
- She nags all the time. - Gosh.
She always nags at me inside and outside of home.
She doesn't nag about just one thing.
- She nags about a lot of things. - Yes.
She nags about everything you do.
I've been hearing that for over 10 years.
And it really stressed me out.
Or perhaps...
you behave in a way...
that makes your mother worry. Perhaps that's why she nags?
She's always worried about small things.
On the news, they talked about a kidnapping incident.
And she told me not to look at the eyes of passersby.
She said I shouldn't do anything to start a fight.
Recently, I went on a trip to a valley with my friends.
I sent her the photos.
She shouted and said...
the water was too deep.
(It was only waist-high.)
It only comes up to his waist.
(But to his mom, the current looked too strong.)
(Don't worry, Mom. It's safe.)
After watching the news, your mom told you not to...
look at strangers' eyes. You seem to be listening to her well.
I kept asking you questions, but...
(Yeong Ja is a stranger to him.)
But he looked into the distance and answered my questions.
Where were you looking? Is that why you don't look at people's eyes?
- Actually... - You should look at her.
He's been brainwashed to do that since he was young.
He was told not to look at the eyes of scary people.
(That was funny.)
My mom still calls me...
- "baby". - "Baby"?
- "Baby"? - When we're outside.
One day, I went shopping with my mom.
I was tying my shoelaces.
Mom was walking ahead, and she said,
"Hurry up, baby."
(He's a big 26-year-old baby.)
(They cringe.)
- But you are 26. - Right.
(That's unimaginable.)
My son is in first year of middle school.
When he entered higher grades in elementary school,
he got upset whenever I called him "baby".
My son is four, and when I call him "baby",
he says he's not a baby and that he's a big boy.
He's more like that because he's got a little brother.
So I don't call my son that anymore.
Did you not tell her to stop?
When I told her that I don't want her to do that,
she said I still look like a baby to her.
(This is wrong.)
I am surprised that she nagged at you for staying late at work.
She told you to come home early when you have to work late.
Around 10 to 11pm, she always calls me.
I once went home around midnight.
And the door was locked.
- She intentionally locked it. - That's what...
a newlywed woman does to her husband. What else?
She once took my car keys.
- Goodness. - Car keys?
That's serious.
(Why does she go to that extent?)
It sounds like she always tells you...
not to do things.
Is there anything she tells you to do?
- That's a good question. - What does she tell you to do?
I think she will be happy...
if I buy a posture-correcting chair and stay home all day.
If you just sit up straight on the posture-correcting chair.
You think then she will be happy?
Has she praised you on anything? Did she say you're the best in anything?
She never really...
(He can't remember it.)
- Never? - I don't remember.
- You don't remember. - I don't remember.
Why don't you ask your father...
to mediate?
Ask for help.
Because of this job, he's been living away for a long time.
My elder brother moved out about 3 to 4 years ago...
because of his job.
Just the two of you live together then?
Yes. I live with my mother.
You must've told your father about your worry...
before bringing it to Hello.
He was the one who suggested that I send my story to Hello.
He suggested it.
He's worried about it too then.
Let's meet his mother and hear what she has to say.
Can you call your mother?
Mom.
Oh, dear.
- Hello. - Hello.
She's beautiful.
What did you think about your son's story? Is it a worry?
I am only doing it for him.
I don't think it's a worry.
He makes me nag.
Does he? But he seems...
like a decent young man.
Does he have a lot to fix?
When he comes home from work...
When he comes home early,
he goes out to meet his friends.
(That's what people do.)
(They become speechless.)
- He could do that. - He could go meet his friends.
Most people live like that.
He's 26 years old.
- He has to meet his friends. - She seemed so puzzled.
"He goes to meet his friends when he comes home early."
They are surprised.
(She surprised us.)
(I get what she's like.)
It would affect his work the next day.
He comes home after midnight.
Let's say he would come home around 7 or 8pm.
Wouldn't you come home around midnight then?
- You would. - Does he get really drunk?
No, he doesn't drink much.
He's a good boy.
Does he get into a fight?
He doesn't fight.
He goes bowling. He plays screen golf.
- That's very wholesome. - That's so wholesome.
- That's a very wholesome lifestyle. - Gosh.
- He plays billiard. - But...
I want him to do that in moderation.
I wonder how you were...
when you were 26.
I just went back and forth between my house and my school.
Then I went back and forth between my house and my work place.
Did you not hang out with your friends then?
I hung out with my friends.
How could you do that?
You should've gone home early. Why did you meet your friends?
I...
(I'm glad I sent the letter here.)
She always nags at you about your posture.
- She tells you to sit up straight. - To sit up straight.
Does she sit up very straight?
She sits up very straight.
- Really? - She sits up very straight.
- How? - At a 90˚ angle.
- If this is the phone... - How can you do that?
She always does this.
No way.
- She really does that? - That must be uncomfortable.
- Is this true, ma'am? - Yes.
Think of the mic as your phone. Show us what you do.
(This is the right posture.)
My goodness.
She maintains the 30cm distance.
I heard you are prone to getting a neck problem if you slouch.
So I do that, and I always tell my child to do that too.
But he always slouches when he looks at his phone.
- Your baby does that? - Yes.
Yes. He always looks at his phone like that.
- "My son" is better. - "Your baby"?
There's no baby here.
(He's a baby to her eyes.)
(My baby)
He's a 26-year-old man.
Isn't it bad to still call him "baby"?
When I go inside his room to wake him up, I pat his buttocks.
Then I accidentally called him "baby".
And it was cool.
It made you feel good.
Yes.
But he told you...
not to call him that in front of other people.
But I just...
blurt it out without realizing.
You said your son doesn't listen to you.
You don't listen to him either. Right?
That's the only thing though.
- She's cute. - Ma'am.
(But I am 26 now.)
What else do you not like about him?
He smokes,
so I've been telling him for years to stop smoking.
But he won't keep the promise.
I am telling him to stop because...
my brother-in-law...
died of cancer in his early 30s.
Since that happened,
I became overly worried about my family's health.
- I think I did. - That's understandable.
So I want him to stop smoking.
It's understandable if she only nags at home.
But she even meddles with my relationship.
She asks how well my girlfriend spends and how tall she is.
When she's a little late,
she says I should make sure she's not cheating on me.
She says embarrassing things too.
Cheating.
(He can't understand her.)
When he dates a woman, he gives his everything to her.
I bet you did that when you were younger.
Is it over the line?
On weekends, he's tired. So I want him to rest.
But...
(She's worried about his health again.)
He goes to meet her even when he's tired.
Are you convinced that he will get...
even more tired when he meets his girlfriend?
No. That's not it.
That might be his way of resting.
That's not it. It was Parents' Day.
The day before that, he brought home a big carnation bouquet.
I thought it was for me, so I was...
- Right. - really happy.
The next day, he took it to his date.
He didn't even give us any gifts for Parents' Day.
He didn't.
That really made me sad.
- That must've made you sad. - That must've made you sad.
Why did you...
They weren't carnations. They were roses.
Our anniversary was on the same day as the Parents' Day.
That's why I bought those flowers that day.
You should've bought one for your parents too.
- It's... - Why did you buy it the day before?
(He instantly becomes the bad son.)
(I am sorry, Mom.)
It's...
(He was bad.)
You have an elder brother and a father.
Does she not nag at them?
Because they live away, she worries more about them.
If someone doesn't pick up the phone, she turns to me.
- Why? - "I can't reach him."
She pesters me to keep calling him.
In the past, my dad didn't pick up his phone once.
It was in the middle of night,
and I went all the way to his office.
Where does he work?
- I drove from Bucheon to Asan. - From Bucheon to Asan.
- I went with her. - Because he didn't answer?
- Yes. When we went there, - That was why?
it turned out he went to bed early. That's why he couldn't pick up.
So your mother must've been relieved that he was just tired.
She cried.
She had been really worried.
- Because he didn't pick up. - Because he didn't pick up.
She's overly worried.
Although I see that she's just worried for her family.
His father couldn't make it because of his work.
His elder brother came. Let's meet him. Hello.
Hello.
It must be better since you live away.
My situation is slightly better than my brother's.
But she calls me every day.
She watches informative shows like...
- Right. - "Mysteries of the Human Body".
She would say, "Look at that."
She asks me if I slept well. She tells me to go to bed right away.
"You have to eat before going to bed."
"But you can't sleep right after eating."
She's been telling me that for three years.
Almost every day.
I am curious. Have you ever not answered her call...
to avoid her nagging?
Honestly, I have.
Yes.
There was a time I was living alone.
My grandparents' house was near where I lived.
I got tired from working a night shift, so I was resting.
She told Grandpa to visit me.
Because I didn't pick up the phone.
She told Grandpa to check on you?
She told Grandpa to hurry to me.
So Grandpa rushed up the stairs and knocked on my door.
- It was a mess. - To see if he's alive.
(I am a mother too, but...)
- You have two sons, Na Yeong. - Yes.
I'm sure you won't be as worried as her,
but you can sympathize...
with her, can't you?
I think...I can understand...
But will I become that serious?
- I don't know for sure now. - You don't.
But I keep telling myself.
I just tell myself that they happened to...
live with me because they happened to...
exist at the same time period as me.
You already tell yourself that?
I tell myself that.
When they get married, they...
- They will form their own families. - They will form their own families.
While they are with me, I will make them happy.
How old is your eldest?
- 4. - He's only 4.
(I love you, kids.)
(But it still won't be easy not to get attached to them.)
I can understand why she's worried.
Most of the time,
she talks very calmly.
Yes. She's very calm.
She talks calmly.
But the moment she gets worried about her children,
her voice tone changes.
She puts on the nagging voice.
Sometimes she loses her temper.
It was when I was in middle or high school.
My midterm grades were bad.
She said to me, "Are you a human? Do you have a brain?"
I still remember it.
Was she too disappointed?
- How can she... - How could she say that to you?
- I can't imagine her saying that. - Right.
(He's still hurt.)
I recently left my job.
As if I had been jobless for a couple years,
she kept asking if I was looking for a new job,
and told me not to live my life like that.
The way she talks to me...
lowers my self-esteem.
I was working on a project at work.
I told my mom that I was in charge of the project.
She said, "Why did you take up the work when you can't do it?"
- You must've been upset. - Yes, I was.
She says things like this.
She seems to think I'm not reliable.
When he told me that he was working on the project,
he had been working at the company only for a year.
It was hard for me to understand why they gave him the task...
instead of other employees with more experience.
I was a little puzzled.
- Weren't you proud of him? - You don't know about his work.
- He must've been competent enough. - Exactly.
Regardless of the result,
you could've cheered for him...
as his mother.
But he came home at 11pm or 12am every night because of the project.
(Frustrated)
He went home late because of work.
What was the problem with going home late?
His office was quite far from our house.
He had to leave early in the morning.
That's what he had to deal with.
- She was worried about his commute. - He's 26 years old.
She worries too much.
You stopped him from feeling fulfilled.
(Speechless)
Ma'am, I'm asking this because I can't understand.
Let's say he refuses to do the work saying he's not competent enough,
and he doesn't want to work overtime...
because you complain about it.
What if he gets fired?
I didn't think that far.
I just didn't understand why my child was given...
such a task. That was all.
My goodness.
(For whose sake does she nag?)
It's sad. It's really sad.
If they keep going on like this,
they will eventually end up cutting ties with each other,
from my perspective.
My father got on bad terms with his mother...
when I was a little boy.
My grandmother and my mother...
had completely different parenting styles.
For example, she nagged about how my mother fed me.
She nagged too much about every little thing.
At some point, my mother told my father to make a choice...
saying she couldn't live with my grandmother any longer.
I didn't get to see my grandmother for eight years after that.
For eight years.
If you can't find a way...
- to treat your children as adults, - Right.
it can cause a serious problem in the future.
It would be great if you think about this seriously,
and try to fix your habits.
- She said she couldn't do it. - From what I gather, ma'am,
you nag at your sons...
so they can succeed in what they do.
However, your son here seems to have lost his confidence...
unlike your intentions. What do you think?
I don't tell my son about his weaknesses that often.
It's because... In fact, my son...
sleeps too much and has no self-control.
- Ma'am. - And you're still talking...
about his weaknesses.
- Please stop... - Ma'am.
He did a lot of things to make me upset too.
(She suddenly starts complaining about her son.)
My blood pressure goes up easily when I worry even a little recently.
I was lying in my bed because I was unwell.
But he just went out when I was bedridden.
He never asked about my condition,
or if I was okay.
I've been disappointed by him...
as well.
- He disappointed you as well. - Maybe your mother nagged at you...
because she wanted to get your attention.
- That's possible. - That makes sense.
- I think she was disappointed. - Maybe she expressed it that way.
Did you know that your mother was unwell?
That she was getting worse headaches?
I knew that.
But I think that she gets worse headaches...
- because she worries too much... - Because she...
about petty things.
- worries too much? - Yes.
- I think that's the main cause. - It would be nice...
if he just asks how I'm feeling.
But he has never asked me.
Ma'am, I really think I should tell you this one thing.
For too long, you've been nagging at your sons...
whenever you talk to them.
Therefore, even when they try to talk to you out of concern,
they think that you will end up nagging at them.
So they can't approach you.
This is one of the things I realized...
from my life experience as a son and as a father.
You need to change your attitude towards your sons...
and the way you express your affection...
for them.
(We hope you can find another way to show your love.)
Tell her what you have in your mind even though it might...
hurt her feelings.
I understand that you say what you say to me...
because you care about me.
But I'm an adult now. I can take care of myself.
I'm old enough to do so.
So at least while I'm taking a break...
(Please refrain from nagging at me.)
please refrain yourself from calling me too often.
That would be nice.
And don't say anything...
that could lower my self-esteem.
I'm sorry for disappointing you and hurting your feelings.
I'll try from now on.
In Chang, as you promised me a few years ago,
quit smoking within this year.
And just as In Chang said before,
he changes lanes too frequently.
(I give up.)
(Oh, gosh. Run!)
(Nag at him at home, and let us go home.)
- Shall we start over again? - My goodness.
I think you should just move out.
And he also drives too close behind another car.
We're starting over again.
It won't be over.
(She drains my energy.)
(Mom, please.)
Shall we start with Wink?
Okay. Since the two of them need to make efforts together,
I think it's a worry.
(Seung Hee thinks it's a worry.)
What she said is also what you think?
(She agrees with Seung Hee.)
- That's right. - They even have the same thoughts.
- We don't even have to ask both. - Right.
They were thinking the same thing.
You two should learn how to treat each other...
as your own individual person and respect each other.
I hope you can realize the meaning of it.
I think it's a worry.
I think you don't have to worry that much,
and you should trust your son.
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 check the result of "War without Truce".
(The result)
It must be hard.
(The last digit is four.)
Is it over 100?
Among the total of 200 votes,
how many votes did he get?
- 144 votes. - 144 votes.
I wish you two happiness.
It's "Scary Mom".
Hello.
I'm a 21-year-old college student.
Since I enrolled in college,
I've been having a lot of chances to meet other people.
However, I can't go to any parties.
"Mom, can I go to the semester opening party tonight?"
"Of course, you can. Have fun."
"But remember."
"You'll run on the treadmill at full speed. You know that, right?"
My mom makes sure that I maintain my weight.
"Today, we'll start with the ab workout."
"Do 1,000 repetitions. Go."
(1,000 repetitions?)
"1, 2..."
(Exhausted)
"Mom, I can't do any more of this."
"Hey, you can't get tired already!"
"Keep doing it until I tell you to stop."
(Please give me a moment to catch my breath.)
Like this, she makes me work out 2 hours, sometimes 4 hours, a day...
every single day.
I feel like I might die.
The reason why my mom is doing this...
is to make me participate in fitness competitions.
"Mom, I won't sign up for the competition."
"So stop making me work out."
"Hey! Do you know how much money I spent on you?"
"If that's all you have to say, repay my money and leave home!"
I don't want to participate in fitness competitions anymore.
Could you please change my mom's mind?
(Please change my mom's mind.)
Please come out.
(Whose mother forces her to be in fitness competitions?)
(She looks fit and healthy thanks to her mother's training!)
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E427 'Hello Counselor' "Scary Mom" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Hold her hand.
- Maybe because she's working out... - That's probably why.
She looked as if she was climbing down the mountain.
I was so surprised.
- It was unexpected. - Goodness.
She walked down the slide very naturally.
I'm Jung Ha Jin. I'm from Gunsan.
Welcome, Ha Jin.
(Welcome)
Can you tell us about the fitness competition?
It's a contest where a person...
who has the firm muscles and the most beautiful body lines...
is chosen as the winner.
The events for women are...
- physique, - Physique?
- figure, - Figure.
sports model, bikini, monokini,
and fitness star.
I began to participate in competitions at the age of 19...
- as my mom suggested. - You were in 12th grade.
It was my first time,
but I came in fourth in the sports model event.
- So... - Wow.
I participated in at least two contests...
every year until now.
I competed in 6 or 7 contests in total.
Did you win an award in each contest?
- Yes, I did. - That's great.
- You must be talented. - I think you have talent.
Why did your mother recommend you the competition?
She worked out as a hobby for 10 years,
and then she participated in a fitness contest.
- She got hooked on it. - I see.
However, she injured her shoulder,
and she started to make me do it.
Because she couldn't do it anymore?
She made me do it instead because she couldn't do it.
- She lives vicariously through you. - Then your mother...
must be very fit and healthy.
Yes, she is. She's also very tall.
- She's 175cm tall, - 175cm?
- and weighs 63kg. - She sounds like a fashion model.
But I'm 155cm tall and weigh 48kg, and I think I'm too short.
So I said I had no chance to win and didn't want to do it.
But my mom said that I could win.
You wouldn't have come in fourth if you had no potential.
Exactly.
I've been curious about this.
Among how many contestants did you come in fourth?
- Well... - In the contest...
There were 5 or 6 contestants in total, and I came in 4th.
And you came in fourth?
- I knew it. - 5 or 6 contestants?
A previous guest said that her child was ranked first in school,
but it turned out the kid was going to a branch school.
- The school had only 12 students. - Good job.
(The rankings are meaningless. I just want to quit.)
(Surprised)
I want to see her.
(The footage of the contestant she participated in)
She looks great.
She has great body proportions.
- She doesn't look short at all. - She's so thin.
- Is this real? - Who is she?
- Is that really you? - Oh, my.
That's amazing.
- You don't look short at all. - She looks fabulous.
- I can understand your mother now. - She looks sexy.
She looks so pretty.
You have such a nice body.
(I'm sick of it.)
It must be hard to keep your figure.
That's the hardest part.
- To maintain a strict diet. - You have no belly fat.
I'm not allowed to eat any instant food.
- No instant food. - Not at all.
And during the competition season,
I worked out between 3 and 4 hours a day.
What exercise do you usually do?
I usually do Tabata workout. It's high intensity workout.
What's Tabata workout?
You exercise for 20 seconds, and then rest for 10 seconds.
- And repeat? - That's right. You repeat it.
For example, a burpee test...
It's a very hard exercise.
It's really hard even for a man...
- It's tiring. - to do only 10 burpees.
But my mom told me to do 100 burpees.
I said I could never do that.
(My goodness.)
One day, I ate so much food as I got tired of the strict diet.
She scolded me harshly. She made me cry so many times.
I guess she's very harsh on you.
But you can eat food without letting her know.
- She's right. You can do that. - Eat food...
- I have tried that. - I see.
But my mom had my little brothers keep an eye on me.
Gosh.
"If you see her eat anything, call me right away."
Your brothers told on you?
What food are you allowed to eat?
- Chicken breast. - Really?
Gunsan is famous for delicious food.
There's a famous bakery in Gunsan.
- Exactly. I know that bakery. - There are so many famous...
- braised fish restaurants there. - At the pier, there are...
- good tonguefish restaurants. - That's right.
- Tonguefish. - Grilled tonguefish is so good.
It's so delicious.
But she can only eat chicken breast.
She lives in Gunsan, but she eats only unseasoned chicken breast.
Exactly.
How did your mother react when you said you would quit?
She ignored what I said.
Has she ever gotten angry at you?
Yes, she even swore at me.
- What did she say? - What swear words did she say?
She said things like, "You must be crazy."
- "If you don't exercise," - "If you don't exercise"?
- "you don't get to eat." - I see.
My mom has a nickname.
What is it?
Her nickname is Bullhead because she's bullheaded.
- As in she's stubborn? - Bullhead.
It's an expression in the region.
I call her Bullhead.
We already saw her mother as she's sitting in front of us.
- If she were my mom, I would... - She looks so charismatic.
She's intimidating.
I think even I would not be able to say anything.
Then how would such a sweet girl like her rebel against her?
- Her mother looks quite fit. - Let's start the interview.
- She must've been working out hard. - She looks amazing.
Hello, ma'am.
(Who is her mother who forces her to compete in fitness competitions?)
Ma'am, could you stand up for us?
- She's also a fitness competitor. - She's 175cm tall...
- Her thighs look so muscular. - She looks amazing.
- Look how fit she is. - Oh, my.
Your daughter is worried because she wants to quit fitness competitions.
What do you think about it?
Honestly, I don't think it's a worry.
Of course. Everyone else who sat in your seat said the same thing.
(Everyone said the same thing.)
Why do you think so?
I think my daughter is just lazy.
She has low self-esteem and a weak mind.
As her mother, I'm trying to help her improve herself.
- But she doesn't have to compete. - He's right.
- Can she just exercise? - Exactly.
But if she just exercises,
- she will have no goal. - I see.
Right? I see so many people around me...
saying they should start working out and lose weight...
while eating food.
- When you work out... - Are you talking about me?
Gosh, no. She's not talking about you.
- She's just saying in general. - I think you're too sensitive.
(She felt guilty.)
What is the ultimate goal for your daughter's life?
What do you want her to achieve in her life?
I want her to build her career in this field,
and represent the country in international competitions.
(Even representing the country in international competitions)
(Mom, please.)
- International competitions too? - It was my dream.
But I gave up because of my injury.
I'm confident that I can help her achieve that goal.
I can never do that. No, I won't do it. I can't do it.
No. I don't want to do it.
I'm not even confident either.
What's your major in university?
I'm majoring in early childhood education.
- That's completely unexpected. - Exactly.
- It's different from what she does. - My mom is the one...
who recommended me the course.
But now she's making me work out.
- So... - I can't believe that.
(What is she saying now?)
- She has always liked little kids. - I see.
She's still very young, but she cares...
about other people's children as if they were hers.
- Then her major suits her well. - It's perfect for her.
- Yes. Back then, - And you recommended it.
I recommended childhood education.
But it was before she started working out.
- I see. - She wasn't working out back then.
I'm sure she'll regret if she quits being a fitness competitor...
in the future.
What is your plan for your future?
After graduating from university, I'll work as a teacher,
and I'm planning to be a teacher for the rest of my life.
But if the job doesn't suit me,
I'll get fitness trainer license...
so I can support myself financially.
But she gets ahead of herself telling me to achieve great things.
I'm under too much pressure.
- You must be pressured. - Yes, I am.
Ma'am, have you ever thought that you're forcing your dream...
on your daughter when she has a different dream?
It's true that I'm living vicariously through her.
But she has her own talent.
- What is her talent? - What is it?
- What is it? - When she learns something,
she realizes more things than she learns.
- You can't beat those who enjoy it. - He's right.
- She doesn't like it. - That's just an excuse.
(That's just an excuse.)
She doesn't do her best. It's not that she can't do it.
What would you do if she refuses to the end?
I'll fight with her and win.
(That's easy. I'll fight with her and win.)
(Whatever you say, I've already made my decision. Keep working out.)
Tyler, go ahead.
She doesn't have to do it just because she can.
Don't you think she should do something she likes?
She'll probably like it.
Gosh. That's ridiculous.
Then what would you do...
if she keeps refusing no matter what?
I would kick her out of our house.
My goodness.
(It's impossible to communicate with her.)
In fact, I also invested a lot of money in her.
I once spent a few thousands of dollars on her training.
I paid a lot for her food, and made her bikinis on my own.
I altered my bikinis to hand them over to her.
I broke my nails, and my fingers bled as I worked late at night...
to fix thousands of crystals on the bikinis.
Look at that.
- She altered her bikini. - That's so flashy.
She's like an artisan.
(She fixed all the crystals on her daughter's bikinis.)
She did it all by hand.
She fixed them one by one by hand.
But she doesn't understand how I feel,
which frustrates me.
I see. But... Oh, boy. What could be the solution?
- I'm worried. - What frustrates me is...
that you think you made a lot of effort for your daughter,
but that's not what she wants.
(Part 2 will begin shortly.)
When she's sick or has something else to do,
do you reschedule her workouts or push forward with the plans?
I change her workout routines according to her condition.
When she's not feeling well,
I let her get some rest...
or make her do only stretches.
- She doesn't seem to agree. - Please tell us.
I had type B flu in June this year.
While I was sleeping, she woke me up.
She stretched my belly skin...
saying, "Look at this. This is all fat."
"I always do 1,000 repetitions of an ab workout before I sleep."
"So you should do at least 100 repetitions."
It seems to me that your mother is addicted to working out.
- I think she is. - Right.
Whenever I visited her at the hospital, she was eating bread.
While eating it, she said, "Gosh. I should lose weight."
"What should I do? I have to work out."
So I said, "Then work out, you crazy wench."
That's what I said to her.
(She even swears at her daughter to make her work out.)
- She swears so naturally. - Exactly.
I guess she always talks tough.
She swears too much.
So I can't win any arguments with her.
When she sees me eating something,
she says, "Gosh, you pig. Stop eating already."
If I tell her not to call me a pig,
she would say, "Then what else should I call a pig?"
I don't mean to hurt her feelings. I say those things jokingly too.
"Stop talking nonsense, you crazy wench."
"What else should I call a pig? I can't call a pig a person."
"Go bring a bucket filled with water."
"And put your face in the water."
"Just die. What's the point of living like this?"
- Like this. - That's harsh.
- She's so scary. - She's tough.
(What could I say to her?)
- There are members... - She's scary.
in your fitness class, right?
- Yes, but they... - Do you swear in your class too?
No. All of the people in my class liked my training style.
But you see, those people want that,
- so they paid you. - Right.
- They want that. - They want you to do that for them.
But this is a different situation.
- Right, it's not. - No, right?
- Did you pay her? - Those who paid want it.
- Right. - I was checking...
- just in case. - She's not determined to do this.
Exactly. They were like, "There's a trainer who swears!"
"I must get her help!"
They were probably like that.
They wanted the motivation.
She said she'd show us...
several workout routines that she makes you do.
(How do they usually work out?)
I need to work out here as well?
- Come this way. - She hates it.
- This way. - Oh, no.
Ha Young, you should join.
(She takes her outerwear off.)
- My gosh. - Look at her muscles.
You took great care of your body.
- Look at her muscles. - I know.
- Seriously. - She worked out a lot.
We'll be doing burpees.
Get ready. We'll be doing it for 20 seconds.
- You need to repeat it five times. - Darn it.
I don't want to do it!
(This is what merciless workout looks like.)
Get ready, set, go. One.
- I know this. - Those are burpees.
- Those are burpees. - I hate those.
- Oh, no. - You look so exhausted.
- How much time is left? - Five seconds.
My gosh.
(The two ladies are falling behind.)
- Ha Young is about to collapse. - Stop!
- My gosh. - Goodness.
- Has it been 10 seconds? - Yes, it has been.
- 10. - Do you repeat it?
Go.
- 1, 2. - My goodness.
(These are some terrifying squats.)
What should we do?
- 20 seconds. - It's so tiring.
- Done! - What has Ha Young done wrong?
Are you all right?
- Yes, I am. - Are you?
We'll be doing jump squats.
- This is exhausting. - Jump squats?
(The mother gives them no time to rest.)
- Two. - My goodness.
She has such perfect posture.
- She jumps so lightly. - She's incredible.
10 seconds left.
Ha Young is dying.
She's moaning.
One second. Stop!
Good work.
(They're in awe.)
She's amazing.
By the way,
there were three types of people. Someone who's forced to,
someone who enjoys it, and someone who's confused.
- Wasn't it obvious? - Yes.
- What do you all think? - You're right.
You were so confused. How was it?
Aren't you tired?
Yes, it's far more tiring than practicing choreography.
- Right. - Was what I just did not enough?
- Did I do much? - We didn't even finish one set.
You have to do this for 20 minutes.
- Right. - If you're not enjoying this,
I'm sure it will strain your body.
I felt too dizzy, so I went for a checkup.
- You felt dizzy. - Yes.
The doctor said I had orthostatic hypotension.
It happens when you make sudden movements.
Could it be because of your workout?
- So that's why. - He advised me to take it slow...
- when dieting. - Right.
Even after that,
she allowed me to rest for a month and then jumped right back into it.
Goodness.
(You were too harsh to someone who was sick.)
Her younger brothers are also here.
Let's meet them.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
What do you think?
Is she struggling a lot?
I think our mom is too intense.
Every now and then, I work out with her.
Once, she worked out until the gym closed.
(She worked out full-time.)
Once, she told our mom that she didn't want to do it,
and our mom threatened to disown her.
She said that in front of you?
- Yes. - She did?
Does your mom force you to work out too?
She tells me to gain weight.
- I'm a bit skinny for my height. - Right.
She said if I didn't gain 5kg in a month,
she'd disown me as well.
- She'll disown you? - Yes,
- she'd kick me out. - Oh, dear.
Those words hurt me.
- Right. - Really?
(Please understand us.)
Let's meet their cute, youngest brother.
- He's so cute. - Hello.
(Hello)
- He's so cute. - Hi.
(He's laidback.)
- He's so cute. - What does your mom say to you?
Does she tell you to gain weight?
Yes, she tells me to gain... No, to lose weight.
She has nicknames for me.
Golden Pig, Muscular Pig,
Rolling and Flying Pig.
- There's a variety. - Gosh, he's cute.
(They're sort of cute nicknames.)
How do you feel when you hear them?
It doesn't affect me.
- It doesn't affect him. - I'm cute.
- He's so adorable. - You are indeed cute.
- You are. - He's so cute.
In your eyes, does it seem like your sister is...
struggling a lot because of your mom?
She works out every day and looks exhausted.
But I don't work out.
I don't exercise.
So you're saying that your sister's situation...
has nothing to do with you?
Yes.
(She feels betrayed.)
He's cute.
Who's that sitting next to you?
He's our mom's boyfriend.
He's the one who got her interested in working out.
- Oh, my. - Goodness.
How long have they been going out?
- It's been over 7 years. - 7 years?
It's been a long time.
What she just said was wonderful.
She wasn't hesitant to call him her mom's guy friend.
- It's amazing. - That's true.
- Boyfriend, not guy friend. - Boyfriend.
- Boyfriend. - Boyfriend.
I'm not used to it, that's all.
(She criticizes herself.)
(Cheer up.)
Since you work out as well, you must understand her.
I do.
I suggested working out, so she's been doing it.
Through working out,
- her mentality has gotten stronger. - Really?
I used to lead her before she started working out.
But now, I'm being dragged around.
Your life must've gotten better after you started working out.
Yes, I've gained more confidence,
and my health has improved greatly.
Since her determination to work out was so strong,
I couldn't dissuade her.
(Her passion has become too strong.)
That's why there have been many interesting incidents...
regarding working out.
- Like what? - For example?
For example, she watched a foreign show...
and saw a woman break a watermelon by placing it...
between her legs.
(The woman broke it with her thighs.)
- Between her thighs? - Yes.
She asked me if we had any watermelons.
We didn't, so I told her so.
She then wanted to borrow my head.
(She substituted the watermelon with his head.)
(Everyone anticipates the outcome.)
She substituted the watermelon with my head.
I did so, but it felt like...
- my head was about to burst. - Oh, no.
So I tapped out.
I think that's why my head looks this way.
(He has a flat head.)
She squeezed it too tightly.
(Laughing)
- My gosh. - Look at my head.
I think that's why.
- That's hilarious. - You're the best.
He's very witty.
- That's great. - She was very strong.
If I were to think in Ha Jin's shoes,
I feel bad for her.
She needs to go to school and her part-time job,
and take care of her brothers. She's very busy.
So I told her mom so.
"This is too much for her."
"This isn't what ordinary people can do."
- "This is what Navy SEALs do." - Navy SEALs?
"This is impossible for her."
- The special forces? - I tried to convince her.
But she claims that Ha Jin is just not trying hard enough.
I don't know if you've watched "Sky Castle",
but the parents forced their kids...
- to become lawyers or doctors. - They coerced them.
- They're forceful. - How do you feel...
when you see such parents?
There were times when it enraged me.
Were you enraged by the parents' actions?
They should just let the kids do what they want.
- That's exactly my point. - That's what you're doing!
- You're one of them. - That's it.
- From the way I see it, - This is good. Convince her.
this isn't about working out.
This is about one's rights.
No one in this world is owned by another person.
You're her guardian. You can't decide what she wants.
Even more so since she's an adult.
- You can't take her right. - She doesn't belong to anyone.
If you acknowledge the fact...
- You're doing well. - that she has her own rights,
in time, she might actually enjoy working out.
(Let her make her own decisions and be patient.)
You need to stand your ground.
Speak loudly.
Mom.
I don't want to participate in those competitions.
I'll take care of my own life.
I'm serious. I really don't want to attend those competitions.
I don't want to attend this upcoming September's.
Do you not want to go forever or just the one in September?
I'd like to participate when I truly want to.
I've told her this before.
Let's work out.
(I'll cut to the chase.)
Hold on.
- The competition... - She doesn't want to be in that.
Then...
if you participate this upcoming one,
I won't bother you with this anymore.
- That's an offer. - Only this upcoming one?
- I don't like this. - No, this isn't right.
- I doubt she'll keep her word. - This isn't right.
- You shouldn't compromise. - Exactly.
You have your own rights.
- Make your own choice. - Decide on your own.
Decide.
Could you cover her face?
- I'm so intimidated to talk. - Just say it. She's your mom.
You'll have to see her forever.
Hasn't your mom changed a lot after appearing on our show?
Her nickname used to be Cowhead.
- Bullhead. - Bullhead.
(They find something to tease her with.)
(Singing)
- Be bold. You can't fear her. - He's right.
I don't want to participate. I won't.
(I don't want to participate. I won't.)
It's not that she doesn't want to work out.
She just doesn't want to participate in the competitions.
- Can you... - Can you understand her?
I'm not asking her to participate in those competitions forever.
I want her to try as much as she can.
(They fail to convince her. It's chaos.)
Like I said, working out needs a goal.
But she can't overcome herself.
- So... - Why is that necessary?
I don't think it's necessary for her to overcome herself.
Such experience...
could be exhilarating for some people,
but it's okay to find happiness in small things.
She doesn't need to overcome herself.
That's not what she wants to do.
Do you want to overcome yourself?
- No. - You don't?
So why do you keep asking her to overcome herself?
A child's self-esteem increases the most...
when the parents acknowledge his or her talents...
as they are.
That's right.
I am sure Ha Jin's mom understands now.
(Please let her shine by herself.)
Do you think it's a worry?
I think it's a worry.
I also think it's a worry.
Oh, yes.
It's a worry.
Please root for your daughter so that she can find her own path.
I think that's the biggest love you can show her.
I also think it's a worry.
If you think it's a worry,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up.
Let's see the result for "Scary Mom".
Show us the result. How many votes did it get?
171.
My goodness.
(171 votes)
The title is "Taste It".
Hello, I have a 19-year-old, an 18-year-old, a 15-year-old,
- a 12-year-old, - My goodness.
and a five-year-old.
I am a mom who is raising 4 sons and 1 daughter.
I am a mom of multiple children.
Let's press the button now.
- Let's press the button now. - It's a worry.
- It sounds like a worry already. - Let's press the button now.
Among them, my 18-year-old son has caused me...
a major headache from childhood.
"My son, let's have a meal."
"No. I don't like vegetables. I don't like vegetables."
Children are like that.
I thought he would improve once he entered school.
"My son, did you enjoy the school lunch today?"
"No, I didn't eat because there was kimchi."
"When a dish doesn't suit his taste, he doesn't eat."
"He doesn't take a single bite."
It's a hassle to dine out.
"Since the weather is hot, why don't we have soybean noodles?"
Soybean noodles are tasty.
"I don't want that."
"How about bibimbap?"
(How about the hearty bibimbap?)
"I don't like bibimbap."
"How about tonkatsu?"
(Everyone likes tonkatsu.)
"Can I just go home?"
- Gosh. - At this point,
- the family never dines out. - Goodness.
"Would you stop being so picky?"
"If you are going to be so picky, just don't eat!"
Then my son went three days without food.
My goodness.
Although he is175cm tall,
he weighs just 53kg.
- He is so skinny. - Watching him...
makes my heart ache so much.
Please fix my son's eating habits.
That's the worry.
Are your 1 and 4-year-old sons picky eaters?
- They smell the food first. - Vegetables.
They refuse to eat vegetables,
so I pretend to be one when I feed them.
- You act. - That's right.
- How do you do that? - I want to see it.
I put the vegetables in a spoon and go,
"I am a carrot. I want to go into your mouth."
- You are good. - When I do that,
they eat.
"I am a potato."
"I want to go into your mouth."
Then he went, "I am sorry, Potato. I don't want that."
"No, thank you."
"I can't let a potato enter my mouth."
That's so funny.
Let's talk to her. Please come on out.
(Whose worry involves her son's hopeless eating habits?)
Please go and help her.
Hold her hand.
(Kim Young Hee)
- She looks so young. - I know.
I can't believe she has five children.
- Please sit comfortably. - She looks so young.
He must be the pickiest eater.
If he is 175cm tall and weighs 53kg,
- he must be very skinny. - Seriously.
My other children don't pick at their food,
but my second child did that ever since he was little.
What doesn't he eat?
Has the list stayed the same throughout the years?
Yes. He doesn't eat kimchi, vegetables, and sauces.
- Sauces? - Sauces?
Most dishes have a sauce.
Children usually like ketchup and mayonnaise.
If there is a sauce on tonkatsu, he refuses to eat it.
- But tonkatsu... - Do you know what's funny?
- He doesn't eat ketchup, - Okay.
but he eats spaghetti with tomato sauce.
- What? - Why?
He eats spaghetti...
- without the vegetables. - He doesn't eat vegetables.
- No. - Does he eat everything else?
- How about meat? - He only eats meat.
- He only eats meat. - That's right.
He dips it in salt.
He doesn't dip it in sauces.
- He never eats sauces. - No sauces.
He grills meat and dips it in salt?
- Yes. - It does seem classy.
(It does seem classy.)
If he has been that way ever since he was little,
you must have tried hard to fix...
- his eating habits. - Yes, I have tried so hard.
- What kind of effort have you made? - I have tried stir-frying...
and hiding what he doesn't eat,
but he puked when he felt the texture of kimchi or vegetables.
- Gosh. - Did he puke?
- Yes. The aroma... - Have you used Na Yeong's method?
- What? - Have you tried acting?
Of course I have!
- Have you tried it? - Yes.
Back in the days, "Power Rangers"...
"Power Rangers" was popular.
It was popular.
I tempted him by saying,
"If you eat this, you can be like Power Rangers."
"Why don't you eat it?"
- You are good at it. - That method never worked.
Do you work? Have you always stayed...
- at home? - I have always worked.
- You raise children as you work? - Yes.
- My goodness. - I cook before I leave the house.
Because of my second son,
I have to cook two kinds.
Let's say I made kimchi fried rice.
Other children eat without a complaint,
but my second son doesn't touch it. He goes hungry all day.
- You have to cook twice. - Yes.
It's like living with a father-in-law.
- Seriously. - I see a boy who is very skinny.
Let's meet her son. Hello.
Hello.
(Who picks at his food and makes her mom's heart ache?)
All right.
- He is cute. - He is cute.
- I know. - He is charming.
Do you understand your mom's worry?
Yes, I do. Even I think I am too picky.
- He acknowledged it. - Is it that you can't eat?
Or is it that you don't eat due to personal preference?
When I eat kimchi, something pops in my mouth.
- You mean the texture of cabbage? - That's right.
- It has a crunchy texture. - That keeps me from eating kimchi.
Let's go over one dish at a time.
Everyone likes pizza. How about pizza?
I never eat pizza...
that has vegetables.
I eat cheese pizza.
How about pepperoni pizza?
I can eat that.
How about tonkatsu?
I don't eat tonkatsu if it's covered in sauce.
- Why not? - I eat it...
if there is no sauce.
Why? What don't you like about the sauce?
What don't you like about the sweet sauce?
I don't like the taste of the sauce.
People enjoy spicy naengmyeon when the weather is this hot.
Spicy naengmyeon comes with gochujang.
- That's why I don't eat it. - That sauce!
Gochujang keeps him from eating it.
Everyone loves tteokbokki. How about tteokbokki?
I eat tteokbokki.
It contains gochujang.
(Yeong Ja found a hole in his logic.)
You are weird!
You should eat both dishes!
- Do you eat fried chicken? - Yes, I do.
- How about seasoned fried chicken? - I eat it.
What is his problem?
Seasoned fried chicken contains sauce!
It contains a lot of ketchup!
What is this?
Is there something you can eat for the rest of your life?
Meat, ham, seaweed, and egg.
I can eat those for the rest of my life.
He knows what he likes.
Egg, rice, etc.
You can just make him those things. Isn't it convenient?
Other children need to eat too. The menu would be...
too boring for other children. Even when we dine out,
we can't eat anything other than meat.
That's right. You have to eat meat every time.
I know. One time, we went on a trip to Gangwon Province...
with other families.
The restaurant served soybean noodles and bibimbap.
- Those dishes are delicious. - There were three families,
but he was the only one who didn't have a single bite.
Seeing that made my husband upset,
so he gave him...
the look.
- You mean he glared at him. - Yes.
- I am sorry. He glared at him. - I see.
When we got in the car,
my husband scolded him.
- It ruined the mood. - That's right.
(Sullen)
You must know that...
the family members have a hard time when they dine out because of you.
Yes. They complain whenever we dine out.
I think they should let me stay at home.
I don't know why they complain...
and say that I ruined the mood.
- It must be frustrating. - When you were on a trip,
couldn't you take a bite?
It was a one-time deal. Couldn't you take a bite?
No.
Is it impossible?
- Then... - Yes, it's hard for me.
(Why does he hate those dishes so much?)
I think he is having...
morning sickness.
(I think he is having morning sickness.)
What?
Are you saying it's phantom pregnancy?
- My goodness. - Listen.
When I was pregnant with my second child,
I didn't want to eat anything.
That could happen when you are pregnant.
Do you think she is right?
- What Na Yeong said... - I don't know.
Of course you don't know.
When you think about a sauce,
- do you feel like throwing up? - Do you feel like throwing up?
When I think about kimchi, I feel like throwing up.
See? He has morning sickness.
- Don't be ridiculous. - He does.
(She isn't helping.)
- Hold on. You are in... - 11th grade.
- You are in 11th grade. - Yes.
You are at the age to be interested in girls, right?
- What? - Girls.
Girls!
My goodness.
Do you have a girlfriend or a crush?
No, I am not interested.
- No? - What are you interested in then?
Right now, it's my dream to become a chef.
(It's my dream to become a chef.)
- What? - A chef?
- What is this? - Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, my goodness. - That's why I am worried.
Why do you want to be a chef?
- Being a chef involves... - That's so unique.
tasting different dishes more than hundreds of times.
How could you be a chef if you don't eat so many dishes?
I think I would force myself to taste the dishes...
when I cook.
(Embarrassed)
Which dishes have you made?
I have made pancakes, cake, rolled omelet, and fried rice.
He only made the dishes he can eat.
(He only made the dishes he likes.)
Did you add vegetables to the fried rice?
No, I didn't.
- He didn't add vegetables. - How about the rolled omelet?
I didn't add vegetables to the rolled omelet.
- You only used eggs. - Yes, I only used eggs and salt.
If he opens a restaurant,
all the picky eaters could gather.
He could name the restaurant "The Picky Restaurant".
"The Picky Restaurant".
"The Picky Restaurant" is a good name.
Have you served the dishes to other people?
- That's right. - My sister has tried them.
- What did she say? - What did she say?
- She said they are tasty. - Really?
Of course they are tasty.
Let's talk to his sister.
How was your brother's dishes?
Egg fried rice and fried eggs were tasty.
I thought it would be okay for him to dream of becoming a chef.
She is so cute.
- She is so cute. - She is nice.
- Of course those dishes are tasty. - Do you think...
- your brother is a picky eater? - Yes.
How bad is he?
When there are meat dishes and vegetable dishes,
he pulls the meat dishes towards him...
and pushes the vegetable dishes towards us.
She didn't like that.
"Hey, we are suffering because of you."
Why don't you tell him that?
I don't want us to grow distant.
That's right. They don't know what to say.
(She is considerate.)
Let's talk to the oldest child.
Do you have a hard time because of your younger brother?
To be honest, I am not very close to him.
(It's a shocking comment.)
So I don't care,
but it does get inconvenient at times.
You aren't close to him?
- No. - Why not?
I rarely acknowledge his presence.
- Why? - The two oldest children...
should be the closest since they grow up together.
We share a room, but we don't talk to each other.
- Not at all? - That's right.
- What led up to that point? - Seriously.
Is there a reason other than his eating habits?
He is really selfish.
Our personalities clash.
That's why we aren't close.
(He doesn't want to be close to his brother.)
(How did we get to this from the topic of eating habits?)
(She tries to suppress her emotions,)
(but her eyes turn teary.)
(She is witnessing disharmony between her children.)
This is...
I understand why she is upset.
I know. She must be upset.
The thing is,
this problem could be more serious.
(Disharmony between the brothers is a bigger problem.)
Why do you not acknowledge...
your brother's presence?
When he uses his cellphone,
he sticks out his neck. His neck looks like a turtle's.
He runs funnily too, so my friends make fun of him...
by imitating the way he runs. It's embarrassing, so I ignore him.
Do your friends go, "Your brother has a turtle's neck?"
You can't go without talking to each other forever...
when you share a room.
- Isn't it inconvenient? - No, it isn't.
Really?
No, it isn't.
(She sighs more deeply.)
Like my brother said, our personalities clash.
Our fashion styles clash too.
My brothers are fashionable,
but I have a turtle's neck and a terrible fashion sense.
Because they don't like that,
they continue to go, "Why don't you wear this?"
I don't talk to them because it's annoying.
Seeing them refuse...
to talk to each other...
must break your heart.
Even when we sit down for a meal,
they ignore each other.
They don't talk.
(There are no conversations.)
It has gone on for five years.
- Five years? - It has been so long.
It's mostly between the 1st and 2nd child?
Yes.
(It's a serious problem.)
Do you want to be close to your older brother?
No.
(He answers even before Tae Gyun finishes.)
Things have been this way for many years.
He doesn't scold me. It doesn't matter now.
Do you want to be close to your younger brother?
Me? I don't think so.
(He thinks the same.)
(Their relationship has turned sour.)
(What should I do?)
Let's meet the third child.
Are you on bad terms with the second child as well?
Yes, I am.
(He agrees in a carefree manner.)
Why? Why do you think that?
When I tell him to stop being such a picky eater.
he ignores me. He just stares at his cellphone.
One time, we were sleeping.
He hit our oldest brother because of his alarm.
Our oldest brother threw a hairdryer in anger...
and I got hit.
(He missed and I got hit.)
You must have been annoyed.
- That must have hurt. - All sorts of things happened.
Why do you think your 1st and 2nd brother are...
on bad terms?
My first brother judges people...
based on their appearances.
My second brother always wears tracksuits...
and has a turtle's neck.
Why do they keep talking about the turtle's neck?
(They keep talking about the turtle's neck.)
If you sit like that, you will ruin your spine.
You will lose your job.
You will fail to get married.
Ma'am, tell him. A bad posture is a serious problem, right?
Right?
(It's bad to have a turtle's neck.)
You should scold him.
So you don't talk to your brothers.
Are you close to your classmates?
Do you talk to them a lot?
- What do you think? - Things were fine...
up to the fourth grade.
But in the 5th or 6th grade,
my classmates began to bully me.
That continued on until the 11th grade.
I got used to it now.
At first, I told my teacher because I was upset and angry.
Then the bullies became worse.
(It had the opposite effect.)
One time, I opened a bottle of beverage and drank it.
One of my bullies...
had drugged it.
(The prank was out of line.)
I went to the nurse's office because I had...
dizziness and stomachache. I had to get my stomach pumped,
so I was carried to the emergency room.
- My goodness. - What kind of drug was it?
Did you find out?
It was a medicine his classmate took...
for a headache.
- They did it as a prank? - They crushed it and added it.
That was why he had a stomachache.
- I was so sad. - Of course you were.
He doesn't talk much at home.
He doesn't talk to his brothers. He has no social skills.
(He has no social skills.)
- Your brother goes... - Yes.
- to the same school. - Yes.
- Why didn't you tell your brother? - Seriously.
I kept quiet because I knew he wouldn't help.
Telling him would have made the matter worse.
(He doesn't trust his brother whatsoever.)
(What should we do?)
How did you hear about it?
I heard it from Mom.
I talked to someone I know...
and gave a warning to the bully who pulled that prank.
(He did give a warning.)
You felt sad when you heard the story, right?
Of course I did. I don't like him, but he is my brother.
Of course he felt sad.
(Of course he felt sad.)
Did you know that your brother felt sad...
about what had happened to you?
- No. - How does it feel to hear that?
I think it's unexpected.
- Seriously. - Right?
- "I think it's unexpected." - Seriously.
You thought he wouldn't worry about you, right?
Yes. I thought he would act like nothing had happened.
- But... - It's not like that.
Regardless of the disharmony between the brothers,
it seems like...
he is closed off.
It seems like he feigns disinterest towards everything.
(It's sad to see him so closed off.)
Let's say your younger sister...
is getting bullied.
Let's say she is crying. Wouldn't you be upset?
I would be upset. She is my younger sister.
It's not because she is your younger sister.
You'd be upset because she is your sibling.
You aren't on good terms with your younger brother.
Let's say someone bullies him and beats him up.
Since he isn't on good terms with you,
would you go, "That makes me happy"?
I would help him if he asks.
(He takes a step back.)
(That's what siblings are like.)
Don't you have...
any good childhood memories with your older brother?
(Hesitant)
I was 3 or 4 years old and my older brother was asleep.
I drew cat's whiskers on his face...
and dog's whiskers on my face.
He and I went to the same kindergarten.
Of course.
We held hands when we walked home together.
That's cute.
- You have many good memories. - I know.
- Do you remember that? - No, I don't.
(He feigns ignorance.)
- For goodness' sake. - I bet you do.
- My goodness. - You know,
when I think about it now, boys find it embarrassing...
to talk about their feelings at that age.
- Ha Young is shedding tears. - Why?
- Why are you crying? - Did it remind you of something?
Did it remind you of your childhood?
I don't have any siblings.
They know how each other feels.
But they're not opening up because of their pride.
- Right. - It's sad.
- It's sad. - Since you don't have any siblings,
you must be even jealous of their fighting.
(Don't hide your feelings and express them.)
(At that moment)
- How cute. - They look so cute.
They look so nice.
They're your 1st 2 eldest sons, right?
- They look like twins. - They do.
- They were so beautiful. - How cute.
- They are. - They're so cute.
- They look so adorable. - Their arms are around each other.
- They're wearing the same clothes. - Yes.
You guys were close.
- I guess so. - By the way,
how do you feel about these photos?
Was your older brother good to you back then?
Yes, he was.
(Then you should open yourself up more.)
How do you feel about what they've said?
- Oh, no. - Goodness.
- You must understand her. - I do.
- It's heartbreaking. - I'm getting teary-eyed.
- Do you understand her? - Yes.
I haven't seen them sitting together in a while.
- Right. - Right.
Do you love your mom?
- Of course. - Right?
You do know that you're doing the best you can to become...
a terrible son to her, right?
(He's being a horrible son.)
Why would you do that to someone whom you love?
(I know you love us.)
I bet you wish that...
you could all go together as a family, eat,
- and have a good time. - Yes.
I'd love for that to happen.
- I wish they could communicate. - Right.
That's all that I wish for.
(She yearns to converse with them.)
Do you think you can do what she wants?
(Will they be able to have a family dinner together?)
(What are their answers?)
Yes.
I'll try. If I try hard enough, I think I'll be able to.
- That's great. - You're amazing.
Good luck.
(They open up their hearts.)
- I'm so proud of them. - I'm glad you're here.
What would you like to eat tonight? Decide among yourselves.
I'll eat what my siblings want.
(He makes a big decision.)
- He made a huge decision. - Me?
I'd like some burgers.
I'd like some chicken.
Look at him while you talk.
- Look at the second-oldest. - Right.
- Loudly. - It's too cringey.
(This is their limit.)
They need to get used to it.
- You can do it. - It's too much to ask for.
Can you hold each other's hands?
- High-five. - Yes, do that.
Do it.
My goodness.
(That's easy.)
(She's happy.)
How about this? Your dinner will be our treat.
You should take a selfie and send it to us.
Take a selfie.
Make sure you take one.
(They kept their promise and had dinner together.)
There are those who are more sensitive and introverted.
I feel like the second-oldest son has become used to being alone.
I think it'd be great...
for the eldest brother to act like one.
Because I think he is waiting...
- for you to approach him. - She's right.
It would be great if you could share...
equal amounts of love to all your siblings.
Also, you mentioned clothing style.
You do know that you're dressed the same, right?
(She gives them a reality check.)
(You're the best.)
Hey, your hairstyles are exactly the same as well.
You three have identical hairstyles.
My gosh.
- You're the same. - All right.
Do you have anything to say to your family?
Mom, you worked so hard to raise the four of us.
I hope you can endure raising our youngest sibling. I love you.
(Laughing)
I'd also like to apologize to my siblings...
for acting too selfishly. I'd like us to get along more.
- He's so kindhearted. - The eldest brother should reply.
He's so mature.
I'm sorry for everything. Let's try to get along.
Okay.
They're so adorable.
(Good luck.)
All right, let's start with Ha Young.
I don't think it's a worry.
You can definitely restore your relationship.
I think it's not too big of a worry.
They just need to open their hearts.
But considering the mom's feelings, I do believe it's a worry.
