We will counsel you on your unspeakable concerns.
National Competition...
- On worries! - On worries!
(National Competition on Worries)
Let me introduce our guests for today.
He's a singer. Hong Kyung Min.
(He's a fool for his daughters.)
He has daughters.
Comedienne Kang Yu Mi.
- Kang Yu Mi! - Hello.
A model and a global influencer, Irene.
(She's globally popular.)
- He's more famous than Pororo. - Right.
- Ddotty. - Ddotty!
Ddotty!
Say hi.
Okay. Hello, everyone.
Today, I will listen to your worries on Hello. Bye!
- Great. - He always talks like that.
How cute.
- Irene, don't you have one too? - Of course.
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Hello.
Are you guys ready to enjoy today?
(They liven up the atmosphere from the start.)
- She's globally famous. - They're full of happiness.
They're both unique.
Yu Mi, your channel doesn't seem to have a trademark.
- No, I don't. - Is it because you're a newlywed?
How long have you been married?
- It's been a month. - A month?
Ahn Young Mi sang for you during your wedding,
and it caused a scene.
- Right. - Yes.
I'll never forget that.
(She was crying...)
(and then suddenly started jumping up and down.)
She was congratulating her.
Right.
(What is that?)
(Leaping)
Where is she going?
- Aren't they your in-laws? - The family is...
They're my parents.
- They're your parents? - They are?
My gosh.
- She did it in front of the groom. - Goodness.
(She's definitely a comedienne.)
Your in-laws must've been embarrassed.
This was how my father-in-law looked.
(He looked like a statue.)
He was like this.
I asked if he felt uncomfortable.
And he said he enjoyed it a lot.
- Then why did he look that way? - I asked why.
And he said it would've been odd if he showed that he enjoyed it.
- That's true. - Yes.
- She gave everyone at the venue... - Right.
good vibes.
Kyung Min, you're finally here on our show.
Would you like to share any problems regarding childrearing?
I love everything...
except that the eldest doesn't talk like a kid.
- Really? - She's very bright.
(Ra Won is known to be mature.)
Sometimes, kids want to have sweets before having a meal.
When you tell them they need to eat first,
they usually say, "No, I want it."
Right.
But she says, "No, that's not a good idea."
- Really? - My gosh.
She's very mature.
(Can you grow up a bit slower?)
Ddotty has over 2,520,000 subscribers.
He has a total of 2.4 billion views.
He looks like kids would love him.
- Really? - Yes.
You look like a baby.
Since kids love you, you must receive unique gifts too.
You're right. They give me things that they used.
For example?
- Like what? - Give us an example.
- That's so cute. - That's adorable.
Once, I received a bowl of cereal that they used to eat.
- Goodness. - Really?
They once gave me their favorite book.
- It was used. - They must've treasured it.
It looked so old.
They even wrote comments on it.
"I liked this part."
- How cute. - How cute.
- They give me such gifts. - That's so adorable.
(No one can be more loved than him by kids.)
Irene, you take really great photos.
I think she knows how to take photos well.
One feature of your photos need to stand out.
It could be the background...
or a group of people.
- I'll take one. - All right.
If you flip your phone,
anything it films will appear longer.
So that the lens is on the bottom?
Yes, on the bottom.
- Really? - I'll take a normal photo first.
Everyone, please smile too.
Your faces will be shown.
- Cheese. - Cheese.
(She looks like her normal self.)
- This time, I'll flip it. - Cheese.
(Yu Mi's legs will look longer now.)
- Cheese. - Cheese.
(Cheese)
Cheese.
- If you look at the first one... - She's right.
- My gosh! - Her legs...
- look longer! - No way.
- My, why are they so long? - This is unbelievable!
This is amazing.
Even the audience looks great.
We have prepared three worries for today as well.
Let's find out what they are. Show us the keywords, please.
All right.
"Sleeping with the Enemy".
"The Man I Want to Hold onto".
"Mom Has Changed".
"The Man I Want to Hold onto".
Hello, I'm a working mom in her 30s who has 2 kids.
I'm so busy taking care of the house and working...
at the same time.
But I'm even more exhausted because of him.
"Hey, where are you going in this rain?"
"I'm going fishing."
"Didn't you go yesterday?"
"A typhoon's coming."
"I was busy bowling yesterday. I'm leaving now."
This man who is in love with his hobbies...
and is busy going out every day is my older brother...
- who's 39 years old. - It's her older brother.
- It's not her husband. - No.
I want to take my mind off him,
but the problem is,
we run a massage parlor together.
"Hey, where are you? We have customers."
"What? I totally forgot! Could you tell them..."
"to come next time?"
He wants them to come next time.
"What about the next customers?"
"Well, could you take care of them for me?"
"I have plans, you see. I'm hanging up."
He keeps making me do all the work...
and is busy going out.
Since he's this way... "What are you doing?"
"I dozed off."
At times, he dozes off while giving massages.
- My goodness. - Oh, no.
I'm afraid our parlor will go under.
It's so tiring to keep him in check.
Please help him wake up and smell the coffee.
That's all.
(Please stop my brother from always going out.)
Let bring her in. Come on out.
(Who's the woman who's worried about her brother?)
There she is.
(Yang Jung Im)
(Welcome)
How deeply does your brother dive into his hobbies?
Please tell us.
I've been working with him for one and a half years.
When he gets hooked on something, he goes crazy about it.
While he was into bowling,
he played 30 games of bowling...
from 10pm to 3am after work.
30 games?
And lately, he's been going fishing.
He goes fishing every single day regardless of the weather.
Also, he goes on gourmet trips.
- Gourmet trips? - Gourmet trips?
Yes. He goes to a lot of famous restaurants.
Does he do that as a hobby?
He posts about it on social media.
- He posts it on social media? - I see.
However, since he enjoys his hobbies...
after he finishes his work, there should be...
- no problem. - Exactly.
That's not true.
He dozes off while giving a massage, he's late for work,
and he disappears sometimes.
Where does he go? Does he go to enjoy his hobby?
Yes.
And then I have to deal with the situation.
When I call my brother,
he gets angry,
and makes me do his work.
(She ends up dealing with the consequences.)
If you like to get massages,
and you made a booking, but the masseur doesn't show up,
no matter how good he is,
- you would stop going there. - That's right.
If it continues, it affects the sales.
(That's it?)
I see.
How much do your brother's hobbies...
affect your business?
About 50 percent.
- The sales decreased by 50 percent. - I see.
Do you really have to run it with your brother?
- We used to run an individual shop. - I see.
But one day, he suddenly asked me to lend him 1,000 dollars.
So I lent him 1,000 dollars,
but he would not repay me.
He's been working as a masseur for 17 years,
but it turns out he didn't save any money.
- He spent it all on his hobbies? - That's right.
Of course.
(That's unbelievable.)
Since he has no money although he's been working...
for 17 years,
you thought you should help him manage his finances.
- That's right. - Is that one of the reasons...
why you combined your businesses?
Yes.
Is that all?
- Could you please elaborate? - Please tell us.
I think she also decided to work with him...
because he's a good masseur.
Am I right?
- Let's draw the conclusion. - I mean...
(We'll try to understand what you say.)
Let's meet with her brother and hear him out.
- Hello. - Hello.
(Who is her brother who's obsessed with his hobbies?)
He looks like a good masseur.
Also, he looks familiar to me.
He looks familiar.
Could you have seen him at a famous restaurant?
She covers for you at work and manages your finances.
There's no sister like her.
I mean, she's even married.
It's good that she takes care of me.
However, I'm a free-spirited person...
who does whatever he likes.
But she interferes in my life,
which makes my life hard.
Why did you not repay her 1,000 dollars?
(You should've repaid me.)
When I play bowling,
I usually play between 20 and 30 games.
I keep playing until I get the score I want.
(He plays bowling endlessly until he gets the score he wants.)
The bowling alley closes at 3am.
The staff looks as if he's saying, "Gosh, that jerk is here again."
He even asks me to leave early.
That's how long I play bowling.
- You leave when the staff leaves? - That's right.
When I start doing something,
I have to become the best at it.
You see it through.
I have such a tendency.
As my sister told me to stop playing bowling,
and started keeping me in check,
I started going fishing instead.
My goodness.
(She's so annoying.)
I go to Gochang to fish eels.
- Eels from Gochang are great. - Yes.
And I go to Yeonggwang to catch munjeori.
(Munjeori is a dialect for mudskipper.)
(I think I've heard it before.)
I also go to Mokpo, Yeosu, Goheung,
Busan, and Jeju Island for fishing.
- Even Jeju Island? - How many times a month?
I go fishing every single day.
(He goes fishing every day instead of working every day.)
When do you go to work?
Don't you think you go fishing too often...
leaving all your work to your sister?
My sister has been working as a masseuse for over 10 years,
so she can cover for me.
That's why.
(He's talking as if it's nothing.)
So, you fish all night long and go to work in the morning?
That's why he dozes off while massaging.
- Am I right? - Yes.
Since I've been a masseur for 17 years,
I can do it with my eyes closed.
- Your hands move by themselves. - I can do it even when I'm sleepy.
- That's interesting. - Without getting caught.
- Some people fall asleep. - That's right.
So both he and his customer fall asleep.
(They fall asleep together.)
They sleep together.
So his customer would never notice he's dozing off.
While I'm massaging,
I massage with one hand,
talk to the customer with my mouth,
and check my social media account with the other hand.
- Is that possible? - Your customer can't notice it?
I can write a post while massaging a customer.
- And... - Is that possible?
- Yes, it is. - He's good at using a smartphone.
- That's unbelievable. - It can't be true.
Please come down here and show us how you do it.
- Okay. - Shall I be your customer?
I'll be a sensitive customer.
(Could it be possible to multitask while giving a massage?)
Since you're lying on your stomach, you can't see what I'm doing.
So I...
Oh, he uses his elbow.
(1. He starts massaging using his elbow.)
- It must feel good. - It seems so.
- Look at him. - It looks like it feels so good.
- It must feel good. - It seems so.
- Look at him. - It looks like it feels so good.
(2. He turns on his phone.)
(He's playing with his phone as if he's at home.)
He looks so comfortable.
(He can even take a selfie.)
He looks so comfortable.
(He takes a selfie comfortably.)
He looks so comfortable.
(I never post any pictures without consent.)
(That's hilarious.)
- Are you feeling comfortable? - Yes. It feels so good.
(Complete peace)
- Yes, right there. - Does any part of your body ache?
He's talking to his customer too.
- He even talks to her too. - Does it hurt here?
Yes, the 4th and 5th vertebrae.
(How does he do that?)
He keeps doing something else while massaging her.
He keeps checking social media.
You're not checking your blog, right?
- Gosh, it feels so good. - Oh, my.
- That's amazing. - Hang on a second. Yeong Ja.
You must know since you often get a massage.
- How good is he, honestly? - How good is he?
It feels really good.
- Does it feel good? - The other side, please.
Okay.
(Answering the question once is enough.)
"The other side, please."
(I guess she can't notice what he's doing.)
- It feels good, right? - Yes, very much so.
(He switched his hands and continues.)
My goodness.
(He tries to take a group selfie.)
He's taking selfies with us.
(Left, front, right)
I think he's good enough to be a social media star.
Exactly.
He can upload a post while giving a massage.
I wish I could film him right now.
- That feels so good. - He could do an online broadcast.
- This is so nice. - Yeong Ja.
- It feels so good. - You should get up now.
(It's time to go.)
Knees, please.
(I can't leave like this.)
Knees, please.
(She's trying to get a full body massage.)
- Get up now. - Yeong Ja, come on.
It feels so good.
Could you feel that he was doing something else?
- Not at all. - That's ridiculous.
It felt like he was focusing solely on me.
Stop lying. That can't be true.
(He lies down slowly.)
(Smiling mischievously)
Give him a massage too, please.
I wasn't lying.
(That's crazy.)
(Have they forgotten about my worry?)
I was telling you the truth.
He's really good at this.
Look at that.
Dong Yeob likes to get a massage too.
(Will it be different this time?)
He hires a manager who can massage well.
Check your blog while massaging.
- Really? - Can you feel it?
Can you tell what he's doing?
- Not at all. - He's checking his blog.
(The gut feelings of a massage lover)
It feels like he's focusing solely on me.
- It's true. - My goodness.
- That's amazing. - Do you see now?
- Yes. - Look how relaxed he looks now.
His face looks livelier now.
(Everyone is waiting for a chance.)
(Safe. Nice job.)
(He's so funny.)
- He's incredible. - I mean,
I see why he still has many customers despite his negligence.
Exactly.
- He's so good. - We'll show you some photos,
so you can see how much he enjoys his other hobbies.
(How much could he enjoy his hobbies?)
- Is that a wild eel? - That eel is huge.
- Those are mudskippers. - Mudskippers.
Those are mudskippers.
- Gosh. - That's a carp.
288 points?
Whenever he gets hooked on something,
- he sees it through. - He was charged 78 dollars.
- "1 customer". - "26 games".
- Was he a mixed martial artist too? - Mixed martial arts?
(Mixed martial arts?)
- Was he a mixed martial artist? - Kickboxing.
Since 1999 until now,
I've been an active mixed martial artist.
You're a mixed martial artist?
- Yes. - But you said you were a masseur.
(What is his true identity?)
(The double life of a masseur)
(Hello FC in Gwangju)
While he's massaging his customer,
he knocks the person down like this if he hears a complaint.
(Shut your mouth.)
(I don't do that.)
Don't you go out on dates?
- I'm sure you have no time for it. - Exactly.
I haven't been able to date anyone...
since I last dated a woman 3 or 4 years ago...
because my sister gives me only 50 dollars for an allowance.
(She gives me only 50 dollars for an allowance.)
You can't date a woman because of your allowance?
But...
(It's a lame excuse.)
And I drive a pickup truck.
Are you saying you need a new car?
(Could it be his ulterior motive?)
Are you saying you can't date anyone because you drive a pickup truck?
When I went on a date with my pickup truck,
my date said she was too embarrassed to ride in it.
It happened before.
- I see. - You had such an experience.
I saw that you paid 78 dollars...
for playing bowling.
I think he doesn't have enough money to enjoy his hobbies.
Hasn't he been enjoying any hobbies lately?
- Exactly. - My brother...
also keeps a secret fund.
(The problem is his secret fund.)
- He keeps a secret fund? - Yes.
When I leave work earlier than he does,
I can't check the sales after I go home, right?
So he keeps the money.
(It goes directly into his wallet.)
He takes the money he earns...
after you leave work.
- Then he goes fishing with it. - He goes fishing right away.
If I don't manage his finances,
he spends all the money he has on his hobbies.
He invested his money in Bitcoin and stocks.
- In Bitcoin and stocks? - He lost all the money he invested.
He also bought lotteries.
- Then... - You're multi-talented.
If a customer gives him advice on investment...
while getting a massage...
saying, "Invest a few tens of thousands of dollars",
he invests all the money he has.
- Tens of thousands of dollars? - He's easily influenced by others.
(He invests all the money he has.)
What was the largest amount of money he invested?
He's invested more than 100,000 dollars before.
(He lost more than 100,000 dollars at once.)
He lost 100,000 dollars?
- Gosh. That's a lot of money. - He invested a lot of money.
Whenever I do something,
I become very competitive.
- Gosh. How do you beat it? - I tell myself...
to make a lot of money by investing.
But I lost half of my money whenever I make an investment.
(He lost half of the money he invested.)
What about the cryptocurrency?
Last year, a customer told me...
that there was newly launched cryptocurrency...
that would become very valuable.
So I invested 20,000 dollars although I didn't have much money.
It's worth only 20 dollars now.
(It's worth 20 dollars now.)
(My head hurts.)
Then do you also buy lotteries...
until you win?
I once bought a lottery.
I had found five roots of wild ginseng before that.
- I was so excited. - You dug wild ginseng?
Did you go trekking?
No, I went there to dig ginseng.
- He really is multi-talented. - He's incredible.
(When he feels like the fight ring is too small...)
I dug five roots of wild ginseng,
and then I got five numbers on the lottery.
- Goodness. - I thought I could've matched...
six numbers on the lottery...
- if I dug six roots of ginseng. - My gosh.
So I went back to the mountain to dig wild ginseng.
I think I kept trying out of disappointment.
What is he into lately?
His new hobby is multi-level sales of skin care products.
- Skin care products? - Yes.
- Multi-level sales? - Yes.
That means he sells... Gosh.
His friend visited him at our shop after 20 years.
He said he would treat my brother to a meal...
and then made him join the sales company.
It cost him 2,250 dollars.
(2,250 dollars)
He also pestered me to join the company as well.
He said, "I need to recruit you."
- "I need to recruit you." - That's right.
He said he would quit working at our shop otherwise.
- Goodness gracious. - So?
- Did you join the company? - Yes, I did.
- Oh, my. - You spent 2,250 dollars for him?
Exactly.
(I can't believe it.)
(Embarrassed)
He steps out whenever he has a chance,
comes back to work when I call him, and then goes out again.
- He steps out to sell the products. - That's right.
To sell his products.
- To sell the skin care products? - Yes.
Does he sell the products to his customers too?
Yes, he does. Since he tries to sell it to the customers,
I feel so apologetic towards the customers.
He goes on about his products during the entire massage session.
- The customers must feel burdened. - Yes.
They really feel burdened.
I tried out the skin care products I sell.
And I realized that they're good quality.
(They're good quality.)
What are you doing right now?
- Are you trying to sell them to us? - Are you trying to sell them?
My skin became much brighter and smoother after a month.
(No way. Are there really such skin care products in Korea?)
(Stop being a nuisance. You're impossible.)
What is your goal in this skin care product sales?
The highest level is called Crown Royal.
Some people earned...
between 5 and 7 million dollars in 5 years.
You can confirm it on the Internet.
My goal is to earn one million dollars...
in five years.
So are you planning to make it to the highest level?
There are 11 levels.
I moved up to the 2nd level in 1 month.
So if I move up four levels each year,
I can get to the top level in only three years.
(He's ridiculously positive.)
He reminded me of a fairy tale.
This man thinks that if he grows a chicken,
- Exactly. - he'll get a lot of eggs,
and when the eggs hatch, he can sell them to buy a cow.
(There can't seem to be a solution.)
He seems like a busybody to me. Am I right?
There's a salmon restaurant he often goes to.
The owner has four children.
And his wife does all the house chores while looking after the kids.
- He was the one who sent the story. - What?
(He sent their story?)
- To our show? - Yes.
(He sent someone else's story to Hello.)
Didn't you come on the show as their regular customer?
Yes, I did.
Is it your second time sitting there?
(What made him come on the show?)
(He sent the story by himself.)
- His wife... - His customer sent his story.
How are the couple doing?
I think he's here to tell us how they're doing.
I haven't talked to them for a while.
(Why did he stop talking to them?)
I tried to sell the skin care products...
He ends up talking about the skin care products.
I only asked if they wanted to buy a set of skin care products.
So, you stopped talking to them because they didn't buy it, right?
(Was it because they didn't buy it?)
(Gosh)
Let's hear the other guests out.
I used to be a regular customer at his massage shop.
Now, I'm his close friend.
- You were his customer? - Yes.
His skin looks very smooth.
- I bet he bought his products. - You bought them, right?
- No, I didn't. - You didn't buy them?
No, I didn't buy them.
I think it was last summer. I booked a massage.
He talked about the cryptocurrency for an hour.
However, I suffered a great loss...
in my investments about 10 years ago.
So I was trying to manage money in a safe way.
Nevertheless, since he was the one that gave me the tip,
and he said I could get a high return,
I thought it could be the last chance for me.
- With that in mind, - Oh, no.
(Could this be the last chance for me?)
(Please, don't. Oh, no.)
I saved up some money, so...
I invested about 5,000 dollars.
- You made an investment? - Yes, I did.
- How much is it worth now? - You did?
It's worth 70 dollars.
(He has 70 dollars left.)
- From 5,000 to 70 dollars? - So I...
don't even check the price now.
- Gosh. - I feel bitter.
But you two are still close.
Yes, we are. He's a nice person.
He raises funds for charity on social media too.
(It makes me feel even worse for him.)
Who might the person next to him be?
I'm also a regular customer at his massage shop.
You're a regular customer?
I've been his regular customer for 11 years.
It's been a long time.
Did he try to sell you his skin care products too?
Yes, he did.
(He tries to sell the products to everyone he sees.)
(He's a little embarrassed.)
I take care of my skin by myself too.
- She does it by herself. - She didn't buy his products.
- Ma'am, why didn't you... - Why didn't you buy his products?
his products if you think he's a nice person?
Since I can see that he causes a lot of trouble,
I say to him, "Don't do it. Oh, you caused trouble again."
I tell him that all the time.
His little sister used to...
live in Sejong City, but she was worried about him.
So she closed her business and moved to the area he lives in...
- to take care of him. - Oh, my.
To help her brother?
That's how much she cares about him.
You said you have a husband and children.
Isn't it too much for you to take care of your brother...
and your family at the same time?
My brother is staying at the massage shop.
I clean the shop, do his laundry,
and cook for him. However, one day, my husband said...
that he was upset because of that.
(You always take care of only your brother.)
But I feel bad for my brother.
And our parents aren't rich. They just run a small farm.
(Their parents aren't very wealthy.)
If he spends his money like this, when he gets sick,
it will be a burden for me.
(I'm worried because I'll have to take care of him if he gets sick.)
However, your brother is still doing whatever he wants...
although you've been trying to manage his finances.
He never listens to me.
I don't think I'll ever change.
I will continue living my life enjoying my hobbies.
I always say that I'll be a masseur for the rest of my life.
Even when I turn 70 or 80.
Good. But being a masseur until that age...
It's not possible as far as I know.
It's not easy because masseurs use their energy.
I'll be fine because I'm a champion.
(What a solipsistic way of thinking.)
I don't get tired from massaging 10 or 20 customers per day.
(Lost for words)
(What should I do?)
What is your dream?
There is no tourist attraction in Gwangju.
(Why is he talking about a tourist attraction?)
My dream is to build a tower on Mount Mudeung.
I expect that I'll need about 10 million dollars.
(He can't seem to think realistically.)
I'm planning to earn three million dollars...
by selling the skin care products, and find some investors...
to get the rest seven million dollars.
He has a specific plan.
- A tower on Mount Mudeung? - Is there a particular reason...
you want to build a tower on Mount Mudeung?
I want to win eternal fame.
(It's freakishly simple.)
I've been telling others that I'll build the tower.
He can't seem to think realistically.
- He can't. - I think he can't.
Whenever he says things like that, I get stressed out.
He has vain dreams.
Until when do you think you should take care of him?
I think I won't be able to stop taking care of him...
- You think? - until he lets it all go.
(I won't be able to stop until he lets it all go.)
I see that he's a nice person,
but at the same time, I feel that he's a bad person too.
He keeps thrusting all the responsibilities upon her...
so that he can do whatever he wants.
(He does whatever he wants.)
If his skin care product business fails,
he will have to borrow a lot of money from her...
like he borrowed 1,000 dollars from her.
I think that he's too irresponsible.
(I think you're being too irresponsible.)
It seems like he's in a world of his own.
- He doesn't listen to anyone. - You're right.
I can imagine how tough it'd be for his sister.
She'd feel like...
she's talking to a wall.
What's the last thing you want to say to your brother?
Let's focus on one thing.
- On one thing. - On one thing.
(She says it from her heart.)
Please say something to your sister.
Because you're busy taking care of me,
you can't pay as much attention to your husband and kids.
I'm sorry about that, but...
(I'm sorry about that, but?)
I still want to live the way I want.
You're nice, but you're so stubborn.
(Stubborn)
All right.
(We give up.)
(She failed to change her brother's mind.)
All right. Let's start with Yu Mi.
I don't think it's a worry.
I think it's cool that he has such a dream.
I see. You have a new customer to buy your skin care products.
(There's one more person to buy his skin care products.)
(He gained a new customer.)
All right.
I think it's a worry.
I think you should fulfil your duties first.
I think it's a worry too.

"Mom Has Changed".
Hello. While growing up, I received so much love...
from my mom. I'm am a man in my late 20s.
(It's from a man in his late 20s.)
"Son, how is work? Isn't it too hard?"
"It's fine."
"Son, did you eat?"
"Don't skip meals."
My mom used to be so loving.
But two years ago, I lost her to a guy.
(What?)
"Mom, did you go to see that guy again?"
"Yes. I'm busy. Hang up."
The guy who took my mom away from me is...
the rising trot singer, Park Seo Jin.
(It's me.)
(I know who he is.)
Before, my mom didn't even know how to use a smartphone.
But now, she joins fan communities and is active on social media.
She follows Park Seo Jin...
to Seoul, Busan, and Gwangju, and Gangwon Province.
She follows him everywhere.
That's how much she loves him.
"Mom, do you really not know what today is?"
"What's today?"
"Is Seo Jin performing today?"
"It's my day. It's my birthday."
- "Oh, right." - "Did you forget?"
"I forgot because I was too busy preparing food for Seo Jin."
Preparing food?
It doesn't end there.
"Mom, I got injured. I'm in hospital."
"The doctor says I need surgery."
"I can't come because I'm going to see Seo Jin. Sorry."
(Seo Jin comes first.)
(Is she really his mom?)
It feels like she's not my mom anymore.
She's Seo Jin's mom.
I want my mom back.
That's it.
(I want my loving mom back.)
- The janggu master, Park Seo Jin? - Yes.
- I didn't know who he was, - Me neither.
so I looked him up.
And he really is a janggu master.
He's very popular.
Many women in the audience...
seem to know him.
Do you know the janggu master?
He's very good at playing the janggu.
I have the exact same worry.
- Really? - My father...
used to be a civil servant, and he's retired now.
He is a fan of Hong Ja from "Miss Trot".
He follows her all over the country.
- Oh, my. - Really?
- Yes. - Seriously?
Yesterday, he called me...
and said he was attending a music show.
He waited for three hours to see Hong Ja.
- Unbelievable. - I can totally relate.
Exactly.
Let's meet the son now.
(Whose mom has changed after becoming Park Seo Jin's fan?)
(Excited)
(Choi Chang Hee)
He almost tumbled.
Your mom's love must be temporary. Can't you try to understand?
I want to understand her,
but it's getting worse and worse.
I'm an only child.
- You're an only child? - My mom...
used to keep a picture of me as her profile picture.
Her status message was, "My son is my pride."
Now, she has Park Seo Jin's picture and writes,
"The janggu master, Park Seo Jin".
"Please watch Park Seo Jin's show."
She celebrates Park Seo Jin's birthday...
but forgets my birthday.
- For real? - Yes.
I asked her, "Can you make some beef soup for me?"
And she said, "I don't want to. You make it yourself."
But she makes food for Park Seo Jin and sends it to him.
She also says,
"Park Seo Jin is so cute and handsome."
"Why do you not look as good as him?"
Does she compare you with him?
She even criticizes his looks.
While talking to her on the phone,
I referred to Park Seo Jin as "Seo Jin".
Mom got upset and insisted...
that I say "Mr. Park Seo Jin".
- Right. - So...
I'm even four years older than him.
- Than Seo Jin? - Yes.
I thought it was unfair.
Has she never liked any actors or anything before?
She was a fan of singer Jeon Yeong Rok...
since middle school.
After being his fan for 30 years,
she is Park Seo Jin's fan now.
I was between Jeon Yeong Rok and Park Seo Jin.
- That's right. - You were Korea's Ricky Martin.
- Why didn't she like you? - That's so funny.
How did she become Park Seo Jin's fan?
About a year ago,
I moved from Daegu to Cheonan because of my work.
After I moved, my mom was feeling a bit empty,
and she saw a video of Park Seo Jin by chance.
She must have thought he was very cool.
When I had just moved, she kept asking,
"Are you at work? Did you eat?"
- She kept asking you. - "Are you home now?"
She cared a lot about me. But I can't even reach her now.
I feel frustrated.
(He must feel frustrated.)
When I was in the military,
my mom had a bad car accident.
She even had metal pins inserted into her shoulders.
She did?
My dad just hopes my mom gets home safely.
- He does? - Yes. He wants her to be safe.
That's all he cares about.
Does he prepare food himself then?
Yes, he either prepares food himself...
or eats out.
He eats jjajangmyeon or goes to restaurants for taxi drivers.
Should I introduce my dad to him?
They could go see Hong Ja's performances together.
Who is Park Seo Jin?
There might be people who don't know.
- Let me introduce him to you. - I don't know who he is either.
- I sing while playing the janggu. - Oh, the janggu master.
- While playing the janggu? - Hello.
(Hello, everyone.)
Oh, my. Moms are getting up.
(He is a rising star in the trot world.)
(His janggu performance is full of energy.)
He is the janggu master.
(His janggu performance is full of energy.)
His janggu skills are...
crazy.
- Goodness. - He's very good.
- It's very exciting. - Yes.
- That's cool. - Oh, my.
- He's so good. - This is really fun.
(Only Park Seo Jin can pull it off.)
His performance is amazing.
(Perfect)
- That's so cool. - I mean...
I just wanted to introduce Park Seo Jin...
to people who don't know him.
- And you heard something, right? - Yes.
His mom stood up and cheered for him.
(She stood up from the beginning.)
(Screaming)
(Happy)
(Please stop my mom.)
Let's meet her.
Hello, ma'am.
Hello.
(Who loves a singer so much that she neglects her family?)
Are you happy to see Seo Jin on the screen?
Yes, I almost fainted.
Is that Park Seo Jin on your t-shirt?
Yes, it's him.
- Oh, my. - Look at that.
Ma'am, your son is here.
Hi.
- Her reaction is so different. - Ma'am, is it true...
that you compared your son's looks with Park Seo Jin's?
My singer looks a lot better.
- "My singer". - "My singer".
- Does Seo Jin look a lot better? - Yes.
What makes you think so?
My singer looks beautiful.
- What about your son? - My son is ugly, to be honest.
My goodness.
(She's too harsh.)
Since you became Park Seo Jin's fan,
do you feel happier...
and have more energy?
That's right. My singer makes me feel like a little girl again.
He makes my heart flutter.
(But it breaks my heart.)
Your son says you celebrated Park Seo Jin's birthday more...
than your son's.
That's not it.
My son's birthday is celebrated according to the lunar calendar.
But it's so confusing.
That's why I forgot.
Also, I didn't make seaweed soup because it was Seo Jin's birthday.
I just craved seaweed soup that day.
I made seaweed soup and braised short ribs...
and ate it with my husband.
He liked it a lot.
He said he wishes every day was Seo Jin's birthday.
Do you know when Seo Jin's birthday is?
Yes. It's August 21.
What kind of food does he like?
He likes sweets a lot.
So...
I bought some chestnuts, peeled them myself,
and made candied chestnuts for him.
- Candied chestnuts? - Candied chestnuts?
That sounds so tasty.
- That sounds tasty. - I've never tried them.
- Me neither. - Me neither.
You're a true fan.
Do you know how to stream music?
I stream his music 24 hours a day.
(Of course.)
When I go to bed, I lower the volume.
When I wake up, I use my earphones.
And I take a screenshot of it every day.
You have to keep it playing all the time.
It's to get his music on the charts, right?
She's a true fan.
Seo Jin would be so happy to hear this.
Where was this picture taken?
- I think it was in Buyeo. - Buyeo?
This was "Gayo Stage".
- "Gayo Stage"? - It was held in Chungju.
- Fan-meet? - This was a recent fan-meet.
(She never skipped his fan-meets.)
- They're the members. - She has many fellow friends.
- She does. - What are these?
Those are my goods.
Goods?
You even have goods.
That was "Entertainment Weekly".
(She's there.)
- This was "Gayo Stage" at Hongdae. - That's you?
You appeared on TV often.
Goodness.
- That's "Gayo Stage". - Since you're going...
all around the country, if your son can't reach you,
wouldn't he be worried?
When I go to such venues, I need to hold...
onto the balloons and the banners.
That's why my phone is in my bag.
I can't hear it ring. At times, I don't pick it up on purpose.
- I can't be bothered. - Really?
I put it on mute.
If your body's sore, we can introduce you...
to a nice massage parlor.
- We know one. - Okay.
- Goods tend to be expensive. - Right.
Has she spent a lot of money?
I think she spends about...
- In 1 month? - In 1 month?
Because...
- Goods tend to be expensive. - Right.
Has she spent a lot of money?
I think she spends about 1,000 dollars a month.
- In 1 month? - In 1 month?
Because...
she needs to reserve a bus when they go to rural areas.
- Right. - Right.
- Then she goes to rest areas. - Does she buy food?
No, she doesn't. She buys dozens of his CDs.
She buys his CDs at the rest areas?
On top of that, she buys t-shirts and other goods.
Gosh, I just can't understand her.
Where does she get the money?
She's saved up some money because she had been working.
And I'm fine with her spending it.
But when she's out of money, she asks me for money.
But I'm worried she'll use them for all the wrong purposes.
You're hurt to know that she spends them on such things.
Yes, I'm worried.
He probably doesn't know this,
but last year, he wired me some money for my birthday.
With that money, I gave gifted my star with two luxury jeans.
(My gosh.)
- Luxury jeans? - Luxury jeans?
Luxury jeans?
Seeing how happy she is, don't you think...
you can understand her?
Right.
But she keeps making me do things...
for her.
- What? - For example,
- she makes me write comments... - Write comments?
online regarding him.
She also tells me to press like.
She calls from early in the morning, telling me to make PR materials.
So I'm walking on eggshells at work.
She asks you to do that when you're at work?
- Yes. - You need to make them?
While at work,
I hurt my hand.
My ligaments ruptured.
- She still wanted me to make them. - Is that what you made?
I think that's it.
(He cried while making this.)
It looks good.
He made this despite his ligaments' rupture.
(Tune in to watch Park Seo Jin.)
- "Tune in". - He's good.
Ma'am, his ligaments were ruptured.
He's ambidextrous.
- He's ambidextrous? - He can use both hands.
Who took care of him when he was a baby?
It was me. So why can't he do this...
for his mom?
- Of course, he can. - Right.
(She's lost for words.)
How long does it take to make one?
Honestly, it only takes 5 to 10 minutes.
- Then you can do it. - No, listen to me.
The problem is, she keeps telling me to revise them.
"I don't like the font or the color. I don't like this photo."
- Even the font? - "Why is the background color..."
"so dark?"
What's more embarrassing...
is that she contacted my girlfriend behind my back...
and asked her to join the fan club.
She also asked her to write comments online.
On "Morning Forum", there's this thing where you have to vote.
One time, Park Seo Jin lost.
I saw her cry only twice in my life.
- When were they? - It was when she stood surety.
And the other time was when he lost the vote.
- When she stood surety? - When she stood surety...
and when Park Seo Jin lost the vote?
Right.
(Her world fell apart.)
Even so, isn't it a bit too much...
to have asked his girlfriend to join the fan club?
Do you know what she said?
She said my son is better-looking than Park Seo Jin.
- So what? - What's wrong with that?
I was flabbergasted.
That's why I told her to join and check out Seo Jin's face.
Who's more handsome?
My boyfriend.
For me, it's my boyfriend.
Really?
(His girlfriend is the best.)
Are you sure he really hates this?
Yes. One time,
he was extremely angry.
He said, "Why am I..." This is to put it nicely.
- Wait. - "That scumbag"?
- Really? - Don't censor it.
- We can understand. - We can censor it ourselves.
Seo Jin isn't here anyway.
"Why am I making this for that scumbag?"
- He said this. - My goodness.
That's what he said.
What else did he say?
He asked me what he lacked...
and if he was uglier than him.
(He's hurt by his mother's comparison.)
Another fan of his is here.
Do you understand his worry?
Not at all.
Mothers tend to be stressed a lot.
It's great to be able to cheer for someone passionately.
I think it's a good thing.
What do your family members say?
I fought a lot with my husband.
But now,
I think he's given up on me.
- And... - I thought she was going to say...
- that he understood her. - Well...
Right.
What about you?
He must be a male fan.
- Hello. - Hello.
Are you a fan of Seo Jin's?
- No. - Then who are you?
I'm her husband.
(It's the husband who gave up on her.)
How does it feel?
I have so many worries as well.
In the beginning, we argued a lot.
I felt neglected.
I told her to throw away everything.
Have you tried finding an interest in something too?
Since I've given up,
I'm considering going with her.
My goodness.
That's amazing.
Because she won't give up anyway.
That'd be great.
What about your dad?
My parents had a very good relationship.
- A long time ago? - They'd joke with each other.
But after she fell in love with Seo Jin,
my dad only watches TV,
and my mom watches videos of Seo Jin on her phone.
He had enough and got mad at her.
They didn't speak for an entire month.
Goodness.
My husband isn't the friendly type.
Men from Gyeongsang Province tend to be like so, but he's worse.
After my son relocated to a rural area,
I suffered from depression.
But he didn't pay attention to me.
But my star could console me when my family couldn't.
He comforts me, and I feel happy when I see him.
I've decided to become more intimate with her.
This is the reason why I've been clinging onto her.
When I was 14 years old... Like I've mentioned before,
she stood surety for the wrong person.
So she ran away from home.
During that time, I couldn't get along at school,
so I repeatedly fought with my friends.
My teacher told me not to make it obvious that I didn't have a mom.
When I heard that...
(He had a painful experience.)
I wondered what happened to me.
- That's when you started clinging? - Clinging?
Yes, that's right.
He wished for her to fill up that emptiness.
It makes me want to become a better son to her.
Right.
I still feel guilty for what I did back then.
(Please think about me.)
If you're that sorry, you should also take care...
of your son.
But his girlfriend is good to him.
One time,
they made a matching phone case.
I told him, "How could you make a matching phone case..."
"with your girlfriend after all that I've done for the past 28 years?"
That's when he asked if I wanted one of Seo Jin.
But I was happy to hear that.
But after giving it some thought, I thought it was wrong.
He could've said, "Shall we make one together as well?"
It would've been better if he had said that.
So you were disappointed when you knew he had a girlfriend?
- Of course. - What about a matching case...
with your husband?
(Laughing)
- Why not? - You don't like that idea?
It must sound ridiculous.
It does. What couple in their 50s would do such a thing?
I see. I'm sorry. I didn't know that was such a horrible thing.
What do you want?
Do you want your mom to only think about you...
like she did when you were young?
Not at all. She can cheer for Park Seo Jin.
But I want her to work and get along with dad once again.
- You want moderation. - Right.
And I beg you.
Please stop telling me to write comments or make things.
That's what stresses me the most.
It's so annoying.
He needs to make the materials and write comments.
- He does? - Yes.
- He still needs to do that? - But I'll send you side dishes...
twice a month.
She's negotiating with you.
He was nodding.
He was unhappy that he wasn't rewarded.
- She's negotiating. - So that's why.
What do you say?
On top of that, I want our family to spend more time together.
I'll do that...
once my star becomes the best singer...
and gets to perform at Carnegie Hall in the US.
Then I'll do that.
(Sighing)
Chang Hee, is there anything you would like to say...
to Park Seo Jin?
- I am sure he will watch this. - That's right.
- Please say a few words. - Okay.
Hello. Firstly, I would like to thank you...
for giving my mom strength in times of struggle...
and helping her overcome menopause and depression.
To be honest, I have no idea if you are handsome...
or charming.
Please stop showing your charms...
and give my mom back. I am begging you.
- Please help him. - You don't need to be so polite.
Park Seo Jin is younger than you.
- He is two years younger. - Say what you want to say.
Say what's in your heart without reservation.
Stop it, you scumbag.
(Shocked)
(Was that refreshing?)
Hey!
(That was incredible.)
I will remove you from the family register!
My heart feels lighter.
- He is a manly man. - Seriously.
- Men say that to each other... - That's right.
- among friends. - "Stop it, you scumbag."
He isn't stopping it!
(Screaming)
(Startled)
(Walking over)
(The real Park Seo Jin appears!)
(Shocked)
Hello.
(They spread the signs before they knew it.)
(Is this happening for real?)
What am I going to do?
My goodness, she is ecstatic.
That woman's son cursed you out.
Say what's in your heart without reservation.
(When he cursed,)
(Seo Jin was watching.)
(I am sorry.)
- He appeared. - They were his honest words.
(He gives a special performance for his superfan.)
(Look at Chang Hee's mom.)
(Dancing)
(He is the janggu master...)
(who captivated the moms' hearts.)
(Park Seo Jin)
("Scrub Scrub" by Park Seo Jin)
(The bruises in your heart)
(There are bruises in his heart.)
(He is good.)
(His voice is captivating.)
(I am falling for him.)
(Chang Hee's mom is excited.)
(She is enjoying the good cheer.)
(This is wrong.)
(He is cool.)
- My goodness. - Ma'am.
I bet you received a lot of energy.
I am so nervous. I feel like I am on cloud nine.
How are you feeling?
My heart is about to explode?
Look at your husband.
(He gave up.)
She suddenly frowned.
Hello, I am an artist who plays the janggu and sings,
Park Seo Jin. It's nice to meet you.
(Welcome)
Chang Hee is very jealous.
How did it feel to listen to the worry?
I listened to the worry in the waiting room.
There were some parts I couldn't relate to.
A part of me thinks she should not neglect her family...
and a part of me wants her to come to my performances.
- I have mixed feelings. - Of course.
- Do you remember her? - You can't remember all of them.
I even know her username.
Her username is Geumokjang.
- Is that right? - Yes.
Then...
She gave me candied chestnuts and beverages in a paper bag.
- Is that right? - Yes.
You will make her fall for you even more.
It would be impossible to fall for him more.
(She is already head over heels.)
(Chang Hee is sad, and Seo Jin is happy.)
Her son visited Hello since he is upset.
Is there anything you would like to say to him?
- I am sorry. - You are four years younger.
I am sorry.
Seo Jin...
Seo Jin didn't do anything wrong.
- That's right. - Seo Jin didn't do anything wrong.
(He says a few words to his superfan as well.)
Please don't neglect your family.
I hope you would live happily with your husband and son.
I hope you would live happily...
and visit my performances often.
What are you talking about? My goodness.
(She won't be able to quit.)
Ma'am, is there anything you would like to say to Seo Jin?
It's a 1-on-1 conversation.
It's my wish to see him succeed...
and perform at Carnegie Hall.
Will you continue to live that way...
before he performs there?
Yes.
(I will continue to support him.)
(Please stop.)
Don't you think your obsessive behaviors...
could make people dislike...
Park Seo Jin?
People who could have become Park Seo Jin's fans...
could leave...
because of your behaviors.
What should I do?
I would like to give you advice.
Let's say my fans come to see me at a late hour...
or show behaviors that don't fit their position as students...
in order to support me.
I tell them, "Your parents and friends would say that..."
"you changed ever since you came to like me..."
"and criticize me."
"If becoming my fan..."
"creates positive changes in your life,"
- "they'll rather compliment me." - That's right.
- I think it would be nice... - That's right.
to keep that in mind.
Okay, I get it.
She became gentle.
That would make Seo Jin shine brighter.
All right. This is your last chance to say something...
to your mom.
- Mom. - Yes?
What worries me the most...
is...
(Seo Jin feels bad.)
the fact that the family could scatter...
like broken glass.
That worries me the most.
You are free to like a singer,
but please take care of the family as you did...
in the past.
Mom, I love you.
- My son, I love you. - All right.
Let's start with Yu Mi. Is it a worry or not?
I don't think it's a worry.
- I don't think it's a worry. - I see.
I also don't think it's a worry.
Although I am not very old,
I found that fewer things excite me as I age.
When you like someone so passionately,
you can feel a new kind of excitement every day.
I hope the family will get along.
All right. Everyone, get the button ready.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
A lot of people are pressing the button.
- 4, 3, 2, 1. - 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up.
How many votes did the worry receive?
"Mom Has Changed".
Show us the result.
Did the worry get over 100 votes?

"Sleeping with the Enemy".
Hello, I am a woman in my 40s...
whose life revolves around baseball.
I am crazy about Doosan Bears.
I married the man I met at a baseball stadium too.
When I was pregnant...
"Honey, I have an idea for the baby's nickname."
"How about 'Strongest' from 'Strongest Doosan'?"
"That's a good idea. The second baby will be Doosan."
When my daughter was born,
it seemed as if I would have the Doosan Bears family.
However...
"I like SK Wyverns."
(I like SK Wyverns.)
- Really? - "I will be a fan of SK Wyverns."
"I don't like Doosan Bears!"
(The baby bear deserted her family.)
My seven-year-old child's betrayal shattered my dream.
Why does it have to be the rival of Doosan Bears?
Why?
This happens when the two clubs have a match.
"Strongest Doosan!"
"SK home run!"
"Doosan, boo!"
I really get angry at my seven-year-old daughter.
The bigger problem occurs at the baseball stadium.
Sitting among the SK Wyvern fans in the Doosan Bears uniform...
drives me insane.
"Why don't you cheer for Doosan Bears with me?"
"No, I like SK Wyverns."
"I want to cheer for the same club with you."
"Then you should be an SK Wyverns fan!"
It's painful to be stuck between my child and Doosan Bears.
I only have one wish.
It's to have the family wear the same uniform...
and cheer for the same club.
Would you please help me?
My goodness.
What an unusual case!
It's so cute.
It's nice that the daughter likes baseball,
but she supports a different club.
Kyung Min, you like baseball a lot.
- Yes. - You are a fan of LG Twins.
I couldn't help but think,
- "That's a happy worry." - I know.
It's like a competition...
between the top two students.
(My goodness.)
A seven-year-old is the youngest we have had...
as the cause of the worry...
in the history of the show.
Please come on out.
(Whose worry involves a daughter who roots for the rivaling club?)
She is wearing the uniform.
(Doosan Bears, let's go!)
(Park Mi Young)
(It's nice to meet you.)
Please introduce yourself.
Hello.
I am Park Mi Young from East Incheon.
You visited Hello because of your seven-year-old daughter.
Is it really hard on you to see her support another club?
(A deep sigh)
The professional baseball league came to be in 1982 in Korea.
I was the OB Bears child.
I was the Samsung Lions child.
I was the MBC Blue Dragon child.
That became LG Twins.
- You know all about this. - I am surprised you don't know.
My family would buy tickets for the match...
- and eat chicken and beer. - That's right.
I would also take my coworkers to the match...
on my day off and buy them hats and uniforms.
I made them become the fans of Doosan Bears.
- You were like a missionary. - Yes.
I met my husband in a similar fashion.
I joined a baseball club at work...
- and went to a match at Jamsil. - Okay.
I lost my cellphone...
at the baseball stadium.
My husband found it for me.
- He found it. - Then we began to date.
Did you leave it near your husband on purpose?
Of course not.
You went to a special place for your honeymoon...
- because you like baseball. - Yes. As a baseball fan,
I wanted to watch Lee Dae Ho's match.
- I booked a match at Kyocera Dome. - You did that for your honeymoon?
Yes. We took photos of Lee Dae Ho...
and waved at him.
(Their days are filled with baseball-related things.)
Just when we were enjoying the honeymoon period...
by watching baseball games, I found out that I was pregnant.
I even went to a game when I was heavily pregnant.
I wanted my baby to hear the cheers.
- You are incredible. - Some families come to the game...
- wearing the same uniforms. - It's so cute.
They made me more jealous than the couples.
I often took my daughter to Doosan Bears games.
When she was four years old,
she could only watch 3 innings. When she was 5 or 6 years old,
she could watch all nine innings.
- That's quite a feat. - I know.
She even did the chants.
I was so proud and happy.
But around the end of last year or the beginning of this year,
she went, "I like SK Wyverns. I don't like Doosan Bears."
When she said that...
(Sighing)
- My goodness. - How did it feel?
Can you make a comparison?
The Korea-Japan match.
- The Korea-Japan match? - The Korea-Japan match.
(The rival you must beat)
(She is living with the enemy.)
Let's say I raised my daughter well to adulthood.
It feels like she was taken away...
by a son-in-law I don't like.
(She was taken away by a son-in-law she doesn't like.)
(Why does it have to be SK Wyverns?)
(I won't allow it!)
- A son-in-law you don't like. - Yes.
I feel like I can't relate to her any longer...
because she was taken away.
- Please drink some water. - Please drink some water.
Please calm down.
She has been talking nonstop.
You became too emotional.
- Thank you. - Don't mention it.
Since her decision to like SK Wyverns was quite sudden,
she might change her mind when she grows older.
(Sighing)
What is it? I guess her daughter is resolute.
You remember what happened in the last Korean Series, right?
Yes, I do.
(SK Wyverns and Doosan Bears were tied.)
Han Dong Min. It's the right! The right! The wall!
(Han Dong Min hit a home run.)
- Han Dong Min hit a home run... - Yes, he did.
and SK Wyverns won.
My daughter saw a pitcher of SK Wyverns...
and came to like him.
Then she began to go, "I like SK Wyverns."
- She fell for the club. - Yes.
"Mom, buy me SK Wyvern's uniform."
She asked me to put the club's logo on her T-shirt.
She asked me that.
You should answer Kyung Min's question.
He said that...
- since she is a child... - Yes.
- You are Hong Kyung Min! - Gosh, you startled me. Yes, I am.
She recognized him only now.
Only now.
Did you think I was a baseball player?
I see.
"I see"?
What is this?
He was talking all along too.
(I was too focused on my worry.)
For your lovely daughter and the peace of the family,
you could make a sacrifice...
and switch your allegiance to SK Wyverns.
- That's right. - That's one solution.
Switch your allegiance to SK Wyverns.
I made many memories with Doosan Bears.
- And my child... - Are you saying you can't do that?
Yes.
She is resolute. She is resolute as well.
They say no parents can win against their child.
- That's right. - Listen.
When SK Wyverns and Doosan Bears have a match,
I sit with the SK Wyverns and watch the game for my daughter.
Doosan Bears ended up winning.
Since my husband and I were wearing the Doosan Bears uniform...
- It must have been awkward. - Gosh, it was...
Ma'am, you can do this for your daughter.
I said I can't.
(I said I can't.)
(She becomes serious.)
My goodness.
"I said can't."
- "I said can't." - "I said can't."
Do you think your daughter should be the one to switch teams?
That's why I am torn.
She visited the show since she doesn't know what to do.
Why else would I be on the show?
Can you do it?
- What? - Can you do it?
- You like LG Twins. - Yes.
Can you do it?
- Can I switch teams? - Yes.
- That would be hard. - Right?
- Thank you. - That would be hard.
(She doesn't understand.)
How much does your daughter like baseball?
- There is the talking speaker. - The smart speaker.
Yes. My daughter usually wakes up around 6am.
She immediately goes, "How did the baseball games go?"
Then she goes,
"What are the rankings of the professional baseball clubs?"
- Does she check every morning? - Yes. Then she goes,
"Which professional baseball games are taking place today?"
If there is a game in Daejeon,
she goes, "How is the weather in Daejeon?"
She even checks the weather.
- She even checks the weather. - She checks if it will rain.
She even checks the weather of the city...
the game will take place in.
She likes baseball so much. Why don't you switch...
to SK Wyverns?
I am proud of her.
I love her, but she doesn't wear the Doosan Bears' uniform.
I don't want to wear the SK Wyverns' uniform either.
- Okay. - My goodness.
(The competition between them is fierce.)
It's a standoff.
- Whose worry is this? - Let's talk to her daughter.
- She is cute. Hello. - She is so cute.
- Hello. - Hello.
My goodness.
Please unfold what you have.
- Come on. - Incheon SK!
Incheon SK!
(Do you like the club that much?)
- She is cute. - One more time.
- One more time. - One more time.
- There you go. - Incheon SK!
Please give her the microphone.
How much do you like baseball?
I love it to the moon and back.
Do you love it to the moon and back?
Between your mom and baseball, which do you like better?
Baseball.
(Shocked)
What is going on?
- I can't believe it. - My goodness.
I like Mom a bit too.
You like Mom a bit too.
She glanced around.
How do you feel when you watch a baseball game?
My heart beats fast.
- What? - Her heart beats fast.
I want SK Wyverns to win.
Why do you like SK Wyverns the best?
When I was six years old, they won the Korean Series.
Because they won the Korean Series?
Han Dong Min made a hit...
- one last time. - It was a home run.
(She doesn't seem like a seven-year-old.)
Then it was Doosan Bears' fault.
Had Doosan Bears won, she would like the club.
I am sorry. I am sorry.
(She has been a fan for 30 years.)
They will win this year.
Let's go!
The last time...
There is Kim Tae Hoon's name on this uniform.
- Who? - Please show us.
- Kim Tae Hoon. - He is a pitcher.
Yes. Kim Tae Hoon.
He is a pitcher.
Is he your favorite baseball player?
Yes. KT Wiz's Mel Rojas Jr. was...
the batter when he got hit.
(What does that mean?)
I don't like Mel Rojas Jr.
Kim Tae Hoon is a pitcher...
and I like other baseball players too.
(We have no idea...)
(what she is saying.)
Let me explain what she said.
- KT Wiz's Mel Rojas Jr. made... - He made a hit.
- a hit... - KT Wiz!
- He made a hit. - KT Wiz.
- Her favorite baseball player, - He got hit.
- Kim Tae Hoon, got hit. - He got hit.
That's why she doesn't like Mel Rojas Jr.
That was what she said.
(Correct)
- I get it now. - That was what she said.
(They get it now.)
Good job.
(You know what you are talking about.)
Why do you like him? Is he handsome?
I just like him.
That's the greatest love.
- I know. - If he leaves SK Wyverns,
would you still like the club?
Yes. There are batters.
- Well... - Are there other players you like?
Noh Soo Kwang and Na Joo Hwan.
Noh Soo Kwang.
- I also like Kim Kwang Hyun... - Kim Kwang Hyun.
and Jamie Romak.
Jamie Romak. He hits a home run often.
- She knows everything. - She knows...
all the players.
Does Kim Tae Hoon have looks that appeal to children?
Shall we look at the photo?
(My goodness.)
(Looking dependable)
(He is cool.)
Between his looks or skills, which do you like better?
- He is good. - You like that he is good.
- You like his skills. - I see.
I guess you care about a man's capability.
She cares about a man's capability.
You know,
- her name is Kim Tae Eun. - Kim Tae Eun.
She is an only child, right?
She says Kim Tae Hoon is her older brother.
Their names are similar.
She finds a connection.
I could be your older brother. My name is Kim Tae Gyun.
- That's right! - My name is Kim Tae Gyun.
(Kim Tae Hoon, Kim Tae Gyun, and Kim Tae Eun)
You like Kim Tae Hoon.
Please love Kim Tae Gyun as well.
I don't know.
All right.
(I will only like Tae Hoon.)
Let's see if she really likes baseball.
What are the current rankings of the professional baseball clubs?
(What are the current rankings of the professional baseball clubs?)
SK Wyverns are in 1st place, Doosan Bears are in 2nd,
Kiwoom Heroes are in 3rd, LG Twins are in 4th,
KT Wiz and NC Dinos are in fifth,
in 6th place... Oh, there is no one in 6th place.
KIA Tigers are in 7th place, Samsung Lions are in 8th,
Hanwha Eagles are in 9th, and Lotte Giants are in 10th.
- I can't believe it. - My goodness.
It's not like she wrote it down somewhere.
(Tae Eun knows correctly.)
- She is incredible. - I got goosebumps.
The 2 clubs that are in 5th place...
- were one win apart. - The rankings were changing.
- There was a game yesterday. - Yesterday...
- They became tied. - They became tied yesterday.
They made top five yesterday.
- She knows the current information. - She is up-to-date.
She asked the smart speaker this morning.
Do you know how many games apart Doosan Bears and SK Wyverns are?
Three games.
- 3.5 games. - 3.5 games.
My goodness.
(What am I going to do?)
Your daughter likes baseball more than her peers.
- I would love that. - She knows a lot.
- Right. - I bet you are proud of that too.
I'm proud of her.
But in her kindergarten,
she can't talk about it a lot...
as her friends don't know much about it.
We went to a pharmacy once, and when she asked, "Which is your favorite?"
The pharmacist said he liked LG, and my daughter answered,
"Kim Hyun Soo transferred..."
"from Doosan to LG".
Then he was so amazed...
and asked which team her favorite was.
She answered SK Wyverns were her favorite and sang their fight song.
When we had a meal with parents of her friends,
Someone asked, "Do you know things about baseball?"
And she answered, "Yes. I like SK Wyverns."
- Then she sang their fight song. - She sang the fight song.
Yes. So...
as it was a restaurant with a lot of other parents,
I had to restrain her.
She's so cute though.
I heard you cheer hard for SK Wyverns, Tae Eun.
Can you show us how you cheer for them here?
(Please show us how you cheer.)
(Hit a homerun every day)
(She sings it like that every day.)
(She hits the cheer sticks with her little hands.)
(Hit it right)
(Send it far)
(I love SK Wyverns!)
(She's good!)
- She's good. - Make a hit
(They imitate Tae Eun.)
(They fell for the fight song.)
SK!
(Can't we cheer for the same team?)
Don't you want to cheer for the same team with your mom?
I want my mom cheer for SK.
She wants you to cheer for SK.
- She's asking for it. - Right.
I want both my mom and dad cheer for SK.
- But... - Grandma likes SK's Park Jung Kwon.
Hello.
Are you the maternal grandmother?
She's the maternal grandmother.
He's SK's first baseman. How about other family members?
My dad is wearing the head coach's shirt.
- The head coach... - It's the head coach's T-shirt.
When your daughter first said she liked SK,
how did you feel?
As she was little and didn't know much about baseball,
I thought she'd follow us, but she suddenly went,
"My hometown is Incheon."
"Why do you not go to SK's seats?"
She's right.
Her hometown is Incheon.
Yes. She's right.
Her hometown is Incheon.
She lives in Incheon.
I was so flustered.
Don't you want...
to cheer for SK as her dad?
My wife and I've dated cheering for Doosan.
I don't think I can cheer for another team.
(She's upset.)
One day, my wife asked me...
if I don't want to cheer for SK.
I said I'd never do that as she's my priority,
and she was very happy to hear that.
Your wife comes first than your daughter.
Usually, dads are willing to be a fool for their daughters.
He's a fool for Doosan.
I'm a fool for my wife.
(I'm a fool for my wife.)
He's a great lover.
(Goodness, he's a great lover.)
He says it at the right moment.
(Baseball led them to be together.)
Did you get to cheer for SK because of your granddaughter?
Yes. I used to go to the stadium to cheer for Doosan...
with my daughter.
I liked the team very much.
Then she got married at a late age and I got a pretty granddaughter.
She asked me, "I like SK. Can you cheer for them too?"
So I answered, "Of course, I should."
That's what happened. That's how it should be.
- A grandmother would do that. - A grandmother does so.
What do you think about your granddaughter so into baseball?
I like it,
but they argue too much about it.
Let's say Doosan wins.
Then my daughter is so happy.
- How about your granddaughter? - She's...
- like this. - She's upset.
My granddaughter is a little kid, isn't she?
And she's so precious to me.
I guess my daughter doesn't care about anything...
when it comes to baseball.
She doesn't care about how your granddaughter feels.
She's the only one who's happy.
"She's the only one."
She doesn't even say, "I'll think about it."
"No, I won't."
- That's her answer. - She turns her daughter down?
Right.
My wife once said,
"Tae Eun is your granddaughter..."
"and I'm your daughter. Why do you not take my side?"
She sometimes says so.
- She gets... - Does your wife say so?
angry with my mother-in-law.
So I try to stop her from doing that to her mom.
Then the argument stops.
Can't you...
just like soccer, all of you together?
(How about enjoying soccer, all of you together?)
Since my mom loves her granddaughter so much,
she forces me to cheer for SK,
then I get angry.
In spite of myself, I go, "I'm your daughter!"
I know I shouldn't do that.
But she's my mom, you know.
Those who don't know much about baseball...
- wouldn't empathize with her. - You can't, can you?
I don't understand her at all.
- Yeong Ja. - For example,
some people like meat, and others like fish.
You'd understand with the examples of food.
No, we can eat both of them together.
(We can eat both of them.)
- You're right. - But...
let's say,
I really want to eat jjajangmyeon, Doosan.
But my daughter insists on eating jjamppong, SK.
I can't pretend I enjoy jjamppong...
- while I eat it. - You gave me such an example.
How about enlarging your stomach and eating both of them?
But you need to sit on a separate seat in the stadium.
You shouldn't talk about food with Yeong Ja.
I don't think you can persuade her.
You gave her the wrong example.
A mom needs to be happy to make her child happy.
Why should I only pursue the happiness of my kid?
- I felt upset. - You can enjoy it alone, quietly.
You can go into the room.
My daughter watches the TV...
- and asks me to go to the stadium. - I see.
Why are you doing this to me?
(You should stop it here.)
As I run an Internet channel, a lot of children...
talk about their worries to me.
- There was a similar case. - Really?
"My parents don't understand..."
"what I like," they said.
"That makes me upset."
A lot of children write such a comment.
I'm worried Tae Eun might do so.
(Shouldn't we acknowledge we're all different?")
I'm getting sensitive these days.
I felt comfortable before.
I wouldn't do this if they are doing all right.
But LG, SK, and Doosan are competing so hard now.
I'd like to care for my child as a mom,
but I suddenly get to think as a fan in spite of myself.
Tae Eun, I think...
your mom loves Doosan so much.
Can you give in for your mom?
(Can you give in for your mom?)
I gave in when I was little.
But I don't want to do it now.
She already has the idea that she cheered for Doosan...
when she was little.
She thinks she has done enough for you.
- That's what she thinks. - She did that back then.
You're not telling her daughter...
that there's something wrong about cheering for SK.
That's not what you mean.
I don't care if she likes baseball...
and cheer for other teams,
But it would be really nice if she likes Doosan the most.
- That's your wish. - Right.
- That's my wish. - It's the same for other things,
not just baseball. When she grows up,
she cannot grow up...
- as you wish. - You're right.
Stop telling her to cheer for Doosan...
- as you and your husband like them. - Don't force her.
Tell her you can give an applause when SK does well.
Then she'd also have a generous heart...
to celebrate it together.
It's important to teach such things.
You can...
talk about it with her more and more.
Also, when you argue...
about the top two teams at your home,
please think about losing teams' fans who'd feel upset.
(Please think about the fans of the teams of lower ranks.)
They'd envy you saying, "They have happy worries."
- Happy worries. - That's possible.
A lot of people might envy you.
That's what I'm saying.
- Why are you shedding tears? - Why so suddenly?
I guess she felt sorry...
- for her daughter. - Do you feel sorry?
(She feels sorry for forcing her daughter so far.)
(You can change now.)
Tae Eun, thank you.
You came here with me...
and we can make a good memory.
I love you.
I'll also cheer for SK with you.
(She's happy.)
Your mom says she'll cheer for SK with you.
(Now, they won't argue watching baseball games.)
Tae Eun, you can say a word to your mom if you want to.
- To your mom. - I love you.
(I love you, Mom.)
All right.
I'll give you a chance, Tae Eun.
You like Kim Tae Hoon very much.
You can say a word to Tae Hoon.
You can send a video message to him.
I love you and I miss you.
- She misses him. - She says she misses him.
People would think you're talking to your dad.
(Her voice and look are so sincere.)
- All right. - Ddotty will go first.
I hope they can cheer together happily under an arrangement.
- Irene. - It'd be nice if they can give in.
- It'd be good for the kid. - I think it's a happy worry.
Those who don't watch baseball wouldn't understand,
but I think it's a huge worry.
I think it's a worry.
I don't know much about baseball,
but all four family members look...
so serious.
(The family is so serious about baseball.)
If you think it's a worry,
please press the button.
(What would the audience think?)
The number is going up.
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Time's up.
Let's see the result.
"Sleeping with the Enemy".
It really is sleeping with the enemy.
(The mom and the daughter has such a serious worry.)
Is it over 100 votes?
(What's the result?)
It's 76 votes.
(She got 76 votes.)
"The Man I Want to Hold onto" won this week.
("The Man I Want to Hold onto" won.)
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!
