(we will counsel you on your unspeakable concerns.) we will counsel you on your unspeakable concerns. national... - competition on worries! / - competition on worries! let me introduce today's guests to you. these love birds got married a while ago, but they always look like newlyweds. - how is that possible? / - i know, right? please welcome kim sohyun and son junho!
(son junho and kim sohyun) (hello couselor) i hear you were sad that there are no other guests. i was very sad. whenever i watched hello counselor, - i saw pretty... / - many girl groups come here. exactly. that's why i got all excited and asked who other guests were. but the answer was, "you two are the only guests." so i was a little disappointed.
(he was actually very disappointed.) - because you two are the only guests. / - yes. try putting yourself in our shoes, then. - let's understand each other. / - yes. i can see that sohyun is happy to see taejoon. i can't look this way. (i can't look this way.) what is the matter with her? (we just said that you two always look like newlyweds.)
don't you two make up immediately after fighting? i think it looks so lovely when you two sing together. frankly, we're usually sort of forced into making up - right, you two perform together. / - on stage. - could we see it? / - right here? - that'd be awesome. / - yes! (let's get immersed into their lovely harmony.) ("take me as i am" from the musical "jekyll and hyde") (oh, my. this is so lovely.)
(this song is sweet enough to melt all hard feelings.) (they stare into each other's eyes.) (what are you two doing right now?) (where am i supposed to look?) (dongyeop is shy.) (their beautiful harmony mesmerized all of us.) what were you two doing with dongyeop in the middle? i thought he was an officiant at their wedding. goodness. but i must say, it's really lovely
to see how much they care about each other. in fact, we get a lot of stories from married couples. - yes. / - you'll be hearing about many worries today. are you good at counseling people on specific concerns? as you know, i'm a working mother, and i got married a little late, - so i understand working moms well. / - working moms. i should be able to speak for all wives.
- yes. you'll be a great listener, too. / - i... on hello counselor, husbands are usually at a disadvantage. i'm not saying that i'll blindly take their side. - i want to make them understand women. / - i see. you can't change your mind later, okay? many say these things but change their minds later. - okay, i won't. / - good. you may never get to say what you want to say.
(it won't be easy.) "i want my husband back" took a first win last week. my husband is obsessed with golf. he plays golf more than five times a week. what will you choose between golf and having a baby? i'd like to focus on golf for another 2 to 3 years. i feel more comfortable there than being at home. you prefer it over being at home? has anything changed since the last show?
i got home after work, - and my husband was already home. / - seriously? - he's never done that, right? / - unbelievable. i was so happy to see him at home. - he was probably done early that day. / - yes. also, he's trying very hard to go golfing less often. i think he was shocked. he's so sweet to me these days. it sounds like he's changed a lot. we hope that you can continue to smile like that.
let's see if their story can take another win today. what will the winner get? the winner will get a prize valued at 1,000 dollars. some of you may want to send us your stories but don't know how to do so. just download a smartphone application called tvut and click on hello counselor in order to submit your stories effortlessly. - we look forward to your participation. / - yes.
(good to know!) the title of this story is "why are you with me?" hello. i'm a mother of three girls and one boy - who is in her 30s. / - that is awesome. "gosh. you have so many kids despite your young age." when anyone says this, my husband goes, "we're going to have more kids." (we're going to have more kids!) "we'll continue to have babies for as long as we can."
i gave birth to my youngest one a month ago. "honey, don't forget that i want boy twins next time." does he think giving birth is that easy or what? in the middle of having a meal, he'd say, "honey, let's have a baby." even when we're watching television, he says, "honey, shall we have a baby?" (the audience is appalled.) - goodness. / - dongyeop should've gotten this story.
(dongyeop should've gotten this story.) my husband's obsession made my nine-year-old son say, "my mom is a baby-making machine." (my mom is a baby-making machine.) "she's good at making babies." when i heard that, i was sad because i don't want to be seen like that. everyone assumes that we're a happy couple, but... "honey. my back hurts, and my joints are all sore." "i have so much to do. can you wash the dishes for me?"
then he goes, "that's none of my business." "men should not go into the kitchen." he doesn't help her? i have to do all house chores and look after the kids, - but my husband doesn't even lift a finger. / - gosh. i do not want any more kids. no more babies. please persuade my husband for me. - junho. / - yes. please speak for the husband.
well, he must be a true patriot. i'm sure he helps her in some other ways. - we should be able to find something. / - right. - he keeps wanting babies. / - just wait and see. let's talk to her and learn more about her situation. - please come on out. / - yes! (who is this lady worried about her husband?) (kim guiok) - hello. / - we have huge respect for you.
does your husband really pester you that much? yes. he must think of me as a baby-making machine. he does it ten times a day. - pardon me? / - sorry? whether we're watching tv or out somewhere, he pesters me about having another baby whenever he sees babies. he even calls me from work and says, "let's have another baby." he keeps going on about it.
- it's so stressful. / - sohyun, what's wrong? you seem to be having a hard time there. i'm fine, but i saw dongyeop's ears going all red after he heard her saying "ten times." (his ears have turned beet red.) (what are you thinking, dongyeop?) his ears are as red as tteokbokki now. i was seriously so flustered.
i thought, "he says that ten times a day?" "it must be so stressful." and my ears turned red. (dongyeop is hilarious.) how many kids did you initially plan to have? we were just going to have two kids. however, my husband is - the eldest son in his family, / - you needed a son. so i thought that i should have a son. my mother-in-law wanted a grandson, too.
so i had my son, and conceived my youngest one nine years after that. - seriously? / - after nine years? yes. as you know, i gave birth to that one recently, but my husband wants to have two more boys. - goodness. / - he wants six kids in total. i asked sohyun a month after she gave birth, and she slapped my face when she heard "another baby." "another baby." and she slapped you.
"honey. how about another baby? ouch!" (she was quick to stop him.) - she slapped him at "another baby." / - i'm impressed. he doesn't pay any attention to our kids - and makes me do all the house chores. / - really? when i ask him to do the dishes and other housework, he says, "men must not set foot in the kitchen." "men shouldn't take out the garbage, either." - "i grew up" / - my goodness.
"hearing that men must not do such things." (he's extremely conservative and patriarchal.) (my goodness.) - my gosh. / - let's meet her husband and find out what he's thinking. hello, sir. - hello. / - hello. - oh, my. / - he looks very healthy. everyone will be able to tell that he's a dad. how many more kids do you want to have?
- i have one brother and two sisters. / - i see. - right now, we have 3 girls and 1 boy. / - right. in order to have the same number of boys and girls, - we need two more boys. / - i see. - however, my wife... / - you can't control it, though. what will you do if you end up having another girl? - then we'll need to have more kids. / - eight? - yes. / - you'd want eight kids. will you want ten kids if you have another girl?
- of course. / - do you think giving birth is easy? no, it's not easy. my wife is different, though. one day, she called me. "honey, i have to go see my obstetrician." so she went. then she gave birth in 30 minutes. she gives birth effortlessly. can you really give birth in 20 to 30 minutes? no. that's just what he thinks. i usually go through painful labor
for about one to three hours before giving birth, but my husband assumes that i do it easily. - it must be because you're young. / - are you healthy? my mom still suffers from leg pain from having me. i get backaches, and my joints hurt, too. but my husband says, "what's so difficult about it?" "everyone gives birth." he makes comments like that and says that he wants another baby.
sir, why do you want so many kids? i mean, you already have four kids to raise. there's an old saying about how families must have many family members in order to have happy, lively family lives. to me, that's a definition of a happy family. - that's my dream. / - you want a big family. - yes, i do. / - that used to be true in the old days, but things have changed a lot as you know.
raising kids can be very challenging. you should help your wife, but we hear that you don't. there's a rule that i strictly follow. i don't think men should ever set foot in the kitchen. (men should never set foot in the kitchen.) i grew up with my parents as well as with my grandma. my father was a patriarchal man. he used to say, "men work and women do housework." people used to think like that.
my grandfather was like that. that was the culture back in the days. however, the world has changed now. - your wife used to have a job, too. / - yes. - she also does all the housework, / - yes. - while you just have your job. / - but... you have to help her out. she technically has two jobs. that isn't really any of my business. men are supposed to earn money
- while women do housework. / - you must do - other things like cleaning the bathroom. / - right. - the bathroom... / - men mustn't do that, either? that's right. i rarely get my hands wet. what did your father say about your wife having a job? back in the old days, elders in families were against women having jobs and expected them to be stay-at-home moms. - i persuaded my father. / - how?
i said, "having two incomes is crucial these days." "one income isn't enough to raise kids." - "she should work, too." / - and what did he say? he couldn't say anything. i'm sure there are other chores you can help her with. i do help her. when i get home early after drinking... - after drinking? / - when i get home, i'm in charge of cleaning with the vacuum cleaner.
you clean? does he do a good job of helping you? that's the only thing he does. - however, he has a problem. / - pardon me? (what kind of problem?) - he's a neat freak. / - neat freak? - yes. / - he doesn't look like one. (he doesn't look like a neat freak.) he vacuums our house 100 times a day. (he vacuums 100 times a day!)
he uses the vacuum cleaner so much that we have to get a new one 2 or 3 times a year. - i guess it breaks. / - we have four kids, so i do my best to clean our place before he gets home. but our kids make a mess again after i finish cleaning. - you have four kids. / - it'll get messy so quickly. - it'll take 10 minutes. / - of course it'll get messy. yes. i've tried scolding them, but it doesn't work. he checks if i cleaned or not as soon as he gets home.
- seriously? / - "did you clean today?" how does he check it? does he do this? yes, he does that. he also checks every corner, including behind the sofa. if he spots a strand of hair in the bathroom, he goes, "what are you teaching to our kids?" he says that i should teach our kids to pick up their fallen hair after washing hair and throw it out. he also checks the utensils holder and kitchen sink.
- you do go into the kitchen. / - that's so stressful. - you do set foot in the kitchen. / - right. - why is it stressful? / - he keeps nagging me. i'm usually the one who stays at home and looks after our kid. - my goodness. / - when i get home, - there are toys everywhere. / - kids make a mess. - of course. / - and i get scolded. - who scolds you? / - sohyun, of course.
- no! / - she nags me so much. i know how stressful it can be. sir, it's stressful. (sir, it's stressful!) - i wanted to take his side, but... / - it's pointless. - right, it's pointless. / - it's not true. our kid makes a mess right after i tidy things up. send in your story another time. come over here. let's talk about it now. - he's on the wife's side now. / - apply online.
i can relate to her on this. sir, why can't you help her with recycling? i mean, you have to go out to do it. you're right. it has to be done outside, but... do you think that having a recycling bag in your hand and doing the chore in and of itself is not a manly thing to do? yes, that's correct. volunteering to do such chore is a manly thing to do.
(impressed) (taejoon, you're doing a great job!) i see men taking care - he's so good. / - of recycling all the time. "he's so good." my family has a system. three of our kids help us with housework. the eldest one is like our babysitter. our second kid's job is tidying up our place.
the third one is... (that's me!) he runs errands for us. i don't understand why my wife says it's stressful. our kids help her out so much. your husband says that your family has this system. do your kids actually help you? they don't really help me. - they're very stressed out, too. / - why?
when my husband comes home after drinking, he tells them to bring water and take his socks off. - he's like a king. / - "i'll give you pocket money." "go and bring my laptop from the car." my eldest daughter even said this to me once. "mom, i don't want any more siblings." "if you have one more baby, i'll run away." that's how much the children struggle. your son keeps nodding.
- he agrees. / - whenever you talk. is she telling the truth? is everything she's saying the truth? okay? you just like seeing you on the screen, don't you? (bingo!) let's hear what the children have to say. hello. - she's the eldest. / - hello. - introduce yourself. / - what's your name?
be quiet. - i'm... / - did you just say that to us? (did you say that to us?) sorry if we offended you. for a second, i thought the girl really lacked manners. "what's your name?" "be quiet." could that be her name? what? did you really say you'd run away from home?
- yes. / - why? i have to help them get ready for school. - do you? / - it's just too much. if we have another baby, that means more work for me. i'll have to help out besides my chores. - that makes sense. / - does your dad boss you around? - yes. / - how? - he doesn't work on weekends. / - okay. he makes me cook ramyeon, we all eat, i do the dishes.
i have to do my homework, but he makes me babysit. what does he do? - he watches tv or uses his phone. / - he chats. - what about you? / - he tells me to go to the shops or take off his socks. - his sleeves? / - his dirty socks. can't he do that himself? (can't he do that?) - our fathers' generation... / - why do that?
they liked it when we tugged and whined of the smell. my dad made me take off his socks sometimes. let's talk to the son. it's your turn. are you pleased? (it's your turn.) did you really call your mom a baby-making machine? she made her and her and me. (watch your expression.) - she had four babies. / - you have two sisters
and a new baby, isn't that nice? they hit me. do you like the new baby? - yes. / - do you want another one? - yes. / - and again after that? - yes. / - so you can hit them, too? - yes. / - yes? yes. how many children will you have when you grow up?
100, 1,000, 10,000 children. - that's insane. / - like father, like son. your son called your wife a baby-making machine. how did that make you feel? it was just a joke. he didn't use a proper term that adults use. (who do you think he learned it from?) it's very important for your children's education - that they think you get along well. / - right.
what does the eldest girl think? i don't think they're happy. dad said he'd be nicer to mom and help her more - of course. / - if we had a fourth baby. from what i can see, he doesn't do anything. - mom does everything on her own. / - okay. one day, i saw mom go into a room and i heard her pull out some tissues and cry. - oh, my. / - i feel sorry for mom
and i want to help her. why did you cry? i was breastfeeding all night. - i can't sleep. / - you can't. my husband drank seven days a week and kept bringing people home. - to your home? / - yes. you have four kids. "i'm bringing people over. cook for us."
- then... / - that's so patriarchal. - that's too much. / - i set the table and they drink until the early morning. i wish just one of them would suggest they leave. - don't they? / - they just drink. my husband keeps suggesting they sleep over. they throw up all over the blankets. - on the blankets? / - it's a mess in the morning. i have to cook them soup and if i ask him to clean up,
he ignores me and sleeps. this didn't happen when you were pregnant, right? that's how things always were. i had to do everything when i was pregnant. why do this when she was pregnant? i don't get it. she gets worried if i drink at a bar. (what excuse is that?) it's a worry if i get drunk in public. that's what you think.
we heard all sides of the story now, and i'm reminded of stories i heard last year. - he's a mix of them all. / - he's the culmination. - did you drive when you were pregnant? / - yes. - i remember this. / - me, too. a man made his pregnant wife drive everyone home. - him, too? / - he calls me. regardless of the time, i tell him to take a taxi. he says he doesn't have enough money,
so he makes me pick him up and he doesn't feel sorry. you can barely breathe when you're heavily pregnant. doesn't the driving wheel touch your stomach? - it's dangerous. / - the baby squirms, too, when i hit a speed bump. i think my wife enjoys it. (he doesn't know the risk.) is that why she's here? shall we vote right now?
is it only me? why did you make her drive? to save money. we have to save up. - then don't drink. / - exactly. but i need to drink. i sell insurance for a living, so i must meet people. this sounds familiar. - it does. / - i remember this. - it was another worry. / - he's the worst.
are you listing all the bad things you saw husbands do? not at all. i'm in sales. when i meet a client, i say, "we should eat together." "how are you? let's go for a drink one day." that's a promise and i must keep them. but... what you said is important and true, but there are circumstances. wouldn't they understand if you explained? don't you feel sorry for your wife?
i do feel bad, but she manages just fine. - what? / - she manages just fine. she manages. what should she do, give up? he looks so proud. (what's wrong with him?) - i had shingles once. / - oh dear. that's a sign. it's so painful.
i'd given birth and it weakened my immune system. it felt like i was being poked and it was so bad i even dropped a few dishes while washing them. my husband still brought people home to drink. even when you had shingles? - yes. / - why didn't you say, "i have shingles" and go into a room? i did, but he didn't understand it. he just kept suggesting we have another baby.
- she was in pain. / - yes. why did you bring guests home? they wanted to cheer her up with chicken and fruit. having a baby usually cures this. don't you feel sorry for your baby? baby wakes when you come home or make noises. i want to show off the baby without worrying my wife. it's best i drink at home. is that the only time you care for her?
at dawn? you didn't date much, did you? no. my wife was my only love. - i was just like that. / - do you have regrets? - he does. / - is that where this is going? i can't say no, but i didn't date much and i gave my wife a really hard time. - i didn't know how to love a woman. / - really? if she's upset,
i should try to understand, apologize, - and smooth things over. / - and comfort her. i treated her like a guy. "sorry. let's eat." "are you happy now? why not? what is it now?" - "i apologized." / - "wasn't that enough?" i treated my wife like i would a guy friend. that's what you say as a man. as a woman, i think this is about the basics. what hurts me hurts another.
you must have had a bad cold before, right? you must've had the flu. - you sell insurance. / - yes. how can you when you don't know how a woman feels? this is the most scared i've seen him today. this is serious. what is this? it's cowardice. does it feel like you're being punched? - yes. / - i'm so upset.
this is how i feel. i do feel bad for my wife. i know she struggles, but men have to act strong. - i can't show how i feel. / - why is that? when it comes to his attitude about work, i respect that he wants to keep his promises. you should do just half of that for your family. i don't see why you don't. make her your priority client. exactly.
(that was touching.) i really like that comment. buy an insurance policy from him. - buy one. / - she did. - already? / - yes. then taejoon and i will take out a policy each. - sure. / - for your wife. did we fall into a trap? (what have we done?)
give me your number. is it a 20-year policy? you walked right into the trap yourself. let's meet your friends. wongi is a few years younger than my husband. we often hang out together with our families. whenever we part, i find myself thinking "i couldn't live with a man like him." "i'm so glad he isn't my husband."
when a husband is too drunk, - the wife tries to stop him. / - right. when guiok tries, he complains in a loud voice. "who do you think you are?" - in front of others? / - yes. once, when we were eating, we commented on wongi's stomach. it was the same size as his wife's pregnant stomach. i think it was because he was drunk, but he lifted her shirt.
- his wife's shirt? / - yes. - everyone saw her bare stomach. / - oh no. - that's just wrong. / - i felt so bad. it's adorable to think our baby is inside her. i wanted to brag about it. you must've been so upset. yes. i felt so humiliated. i'm sure you did. everyone looked when he said,
"your stomach is as big as mine." he puts me down by saying, "you don't have to know." - that's bad. / - he insults you. "forget it. be quiet." "don't say a word." he cuts me off. he won't let me talk in front of others. then he says, "there's one thing you're good at."
"you're great at giving birth." that's it. why do you talk like that? that's how i show my affection. i love my wife and i think she's special and all that, but i don't know how to show it. my father was like that to my mother. this is what i think. he has four kids now.
if you keep this up, they'll look down on their mom. - that's true. / - you shouldn't do this. the son called his mom a baby-making machine. - i couldn't understand why. / - it's like that. he heard his dad say it. (he learned from his dad.) when did you feel the worst? i got married early. i got married and had a baby when i was 21.
my mom didn't approve and was upset that i was having a baby so soon. we'd just set a date for the wedding when she had a heart attack and passed away. - oh my. / - oh no. at the time... whenever i had a baby, i thought of her. everyone else in labor was with their moms, - but i was alone. / - right.
i had to struggle alone. nobody held my hand. i wished to hear her say, "you're doing so well." i don't think my husband knows that. he'd buy iced coffee for himself and play with his phone and say, "let's have another baby after this one." that was so hard. it's a moment when you feel so emotional. (when will he see how i feel?)
what did you do when your wife gave birth and when she was recovering? - i met with friends... / - and drank? she wanted beer so i ordered some fried chicken and we had a party. did you take her to the hospital for a checkup or give her a massage? i don't have a license to massage anyone. a license isn't...
you're hilarious. i wasn't worried. i knew she'd be fine. isn't selling insurance about finding the right policy? - it is. / - don't you look for a policy - to suit the client? / - i do. there must be the kind of love your wife wants. why won't you love her the way she wants to be loved? do you even know what she wants? how do you want your husband to treat you?
i want him to focus on us now rather than the future. he keeps wanting more kids, but i want to raise the four we have the best we can. i'd like him to often compliment me and treat me with respect. - our guests... / - our subjects... - they don't ask for much. / - it's the small things. our everyday life is made up of the small things and that becomes our lives.
it's the small things that hurt her every day. (try harder for your family's life.) what does your wife mean to you? she's a wise woman. she's good to my parents. she's good to our kids. she's so good i don't deserve her. do you think you should change a bit and maybe help her
with some of the housework? if we have one or two more children, (if we have more children...) i'll come home earlier and vacuum the home more. forget the future, think about tomorrow. what will you do today? could you drink less? i will try to drink a little less. how many times will you drink? twice a week?
no, i drink six times now so maybe five? (five times a week?) if you treated her well, wouldn't she want to have another baby? that's right. i will try my best to make her happy, then. i'll help her take out the trash and come home earlier. are you getting the feeling that you can't win? - he surrendered. / - yes.
(be a man. keep your word.) let's put it to a vote. do you think it's a worry? - of course i think this is a worry. / - okay. junho and i both work and we both did the chores and even then i still complained. i still thought i did more at home than he did. i just realized junho is a great husband. - say thank you. / - thank you.
you're welcome. - junho. / - i think it's a worry. you need to learn a lot about women. listen to your wife and try to reach her heart and soul. then you might be able to create the family you want. if you think she has a worry, press your button. you can press yours, too.
press it for your mom. - okay. in five, four, / - in five, four, - three, two, one. / - three, two, one. - thank you. / - stop. you can only press once. (they want to vote 100 times.) what would you like to say? guiok. i'm sorry for everything.
i didn't know how you felt. i only thought from my perspective. i'll treat you better from now on. i'll buy you your favorite chicken and fruit. maybe tonight... i love you. tonight what? what will you do? "i want my husband back" got 166 votes. let's see how many votes we just got.
we heard a lot of beeps. we might have a new winner. is it 168 or 158? - it'll be close. / - is it really 168? a lot of you voted. - a lot of you voted. / - give us a winner. ("why are you with me?" is the new winner.) look. chanwoo.
"why are you with me?" is the new winner. (congratulations!) i'll read the next letter. hello. i've been married five years and i'm expecting our fourth child. what's wrong with everyone today? is this a fertility special? it's just getting better. i have five-year-old twin sons,
a three-year-old daughter, and i'm carrying our fourth baby. our house is utter chaos, but my husband gazes lovingly and checks on the food. are you envious? so am i. it's not the kids my husband looks so well after. it's the fish. (the fish?) (i want to go home.)
(a wife lost to the fish?) ladies and gentlemen. it's time to think. who has it worse? this woman's competing against fish. (that's tough.) "honey, i have to cook dinner." "can you watch the kids?" "i'm watching the fish."
"you watch the kids." this man i call a husband ignores our kids and stares at the fish all day. was he once a goldfish? (was he a goldfish in the past?) "where's the potted plant that was in the kids' room?" "i put it there because it's good for atopy." - "where did it go?" / - in the fish tank? "oh, i put that in the fish tank."
seriously? our kids scratch their skin because of atopy and my husband doesn't care. early one morning... "where are you going at the crack of dawn?" "i think a fish is about to give birth." "i'm going to catch some shrimp to feed it." "i'm pregnant, too." "do you care about the fish and not me?"
"correct." "i can't right now." we get into fights every day over these fish. my husband ignores his own kids and raises the fish. what should i do about him? (raise your own kids, not the fish.) this story annoys me even more than the first one. - because it's a fish? / - yes. it's like losing your love to something else.
how would you feel? i lost my love, too. to something that requires energy and constant wiping. - is it a person? / - it's a thing. - a baby? / - a plant? i love cars. (it's a car.) it's my new car. - some men love cars. / - especially new ones.
i thought he'd be done cleaning it in about an hour. it took him over three hours. i didn't understand, so i went to see what he did. he was wiping the black wheel with his bare hand. - what? / - with his bare hand. don't people wear rubber gloves? it's a very sensitive job. gloves dull your senses. - so no gloves? / - bare hands only.
because this guest is pregnant with her fourth child, she won't come down the slide. please welcome her. (the woman whose husband cares only for his fish.) welcome. (lim jiyoung) (welcome.) it's so hard to sit down. stretch your legs out. straighten your legs.
this is how careful a pregnant lady should be treated. "her stomach's bigger than mine." (that's just wrong.) how dare you do that. the current winner has met his match. how many months pregnant are you? i'm seven months along. i have twin boys who are five years old, and a three-year-old girl.
they're so cute. they're so adorable. - they need their dad's attention. / - they do. my husband doesn't care about them at all. he stares at the fish like a madman. - but... / - yes? it's strange to hear of a man who just stares at fish. regardless of whether it makes sense or not, it's odd. - very odd. / - why does he stare?
he doesn't talk much and the fish never talk. i guess he feels a sense of kinship. what's his daily schedule? he stares at the fish as soon as he wakes up. when he comes home from work, he feeds the fish first. after dinner, he stares at it again. when i ask him what he did today, he says, "did you buy the plants for the fishbowl?"
- he talks only about fish. / - only fish. - yes. / - he doesn't talk to the fish? - does he really just stare at the fish? / - yes. he stares at the fish for at least an hour. (he spends an hour just staring at the fish.) how many fish do you have? more than 100. (he has more than 100 fish.) - he has a lot. / - yes.
it must be a big fish tank. - they have three. / - he picked that up recently. there's nothing to see. what does he stare at? (more than a hundred tropical fish are swimming.) (he's giving special care to a pregnant fish.) - that one is separated. / - you have three tanks. we've met many people who were into animals. - someone loved snakes. / - there was a spider, too. a spider would drop onto their dinner table.
isn't a fish nice enough to have? raising fish isn't hard. but my husband neglects us and loves only the fish. that's the problem. our three kids suffer from an atopic disease. - they must need a lot of care. / - yes. so my auntie gave us two cypresses. - it's called hinoki. / - they release phytoncide. but they ended up going inside the tanks.
so... did he go shrimp fishing for his fish? i want to rest on the weekends too, you know? but he said fish get bored by themselves. he got up at 6 a.m. and went to daebudo island. he fished until 10 a.m. did he buy you anything when you were pregnant? recently, i told him i wanted to eat snow crab. but he said, "cut the crap."
- what? / - he said that. - he said "cut the crap." / - "cut the snow crab." let's meet her husband who's in love with fish. (who's her husband in love with fish?) he looks very naive and kind. - yes. / - he has a favorable impression. you love fish that much? it feels rewarding when they have babies. i love raising them.
please hug your child. she's neglected. she's sitting there like a homeless kid. - pull down her shirt. / - they're not close. - they're not close. / - it's obvious, isn't it? but she's still looking at the camera. - oh, my. / - she loves it there. - let go of her. / - leave her alone. - he must've never watched the kids. / - exactly. she got annoyed because he's pretending to be close.
you love seeing the fish grow. how about your children? they're too young. i want them to be bigger. don't you like them now? they'll be better when they grow up a little more. do you think they're not adorable now? i want them to be at least ten to play with me. - do you want to communicate with them? / - yes. do you like fish because you can communicate? when i look at them, i feel relaxed.
i'm curious. since when did you like the fish? i've been liking fish since i was little. i started raising fish for my kids at first. you started it because of your children. then why did you give their cypress to the fish? i thought it would be good for them. - don't your children come first? / - they're atopic. he must've not known. - no way. / - that's why he put it in the fish tank.
i knew. i still thought it'd be good for the fish. that's why i put it in the fish tank. don't you feel bad when you see your children suffering from the disease? i'll take the kids to the waiting room. come on, darling. let's go to mommy. (she carries both of them.) it's okay.
why would you choose fish over these adorable kids? let's go. they're really cute. - she's really strong. / - they look relaxed. they're like, "what's this feeling?" what have you done for your pregnant wife? nothing much. - is he taciturn? / - yes. right? he's really quiet and...
- you know... personally, / - yes? the guy who had won is loud and clear, at least. this guy is even more difficult. he doesn't express... at least, that guy expresses his feelings. this guy... "i think fish is good." (i think fish is good.) "why did you put the cypress there?" "i told you, i think fish is good."
(i told you, i think fish is good.) it must drive her crazy. it's crazy. yes. he's very introvert and quiet. can't you just respect his hobby? i could, but he's not interested in us at all. my daughter is at an adorable age. i said i'd go to buy her clothes. he said she could wear the twin's clothes. - but she's a girl. / - i know.
she once got bullied because she wore boys' clothes. for the first time since i got married, i said i'd go to buy sandals. and... (she's been holding in her emotion.) - she's sad. / - he asked if i really needed it. he asked me if i could just wear sneakers. he said that. i even had waited until it was on sale.
does he manage the money? - yes. i use his card. / - how much does he spend on fish tanks? he spends about 100 dollars to buy plants, ornaments, and fish food. why were you so stingy? when we were little, we got our siblings' clothes. you wore your sister's clothes? did you wear your sister's clothes?
- he got it just now. / - but... was it a brother or a sister? i got both my brother's and my sister's. you wore a skirt? no, not the skirt. why did you stop her from buying sandals? there's nowhere else she can get them. she told me after ordering the sandals. i got tricked.
you got tricked? because she didn't get his permission first and told him after buying the sandals. do you get her permission to buy things then? - no, i don't. / - see? did you ask her about the cypress? - no. / - he's a scary man. (he's a scary man.) does he take good care of you when you're sick?
he doesn't take care of me when i'm sick. we've been married for five years. i've been - having babies. / - five years? - you kept having babies. / - almost every year. i got infection on my feet. i got fasciitis, and i can't even stand well. - right. / - when i do housework and childcare, the chores pile up. my parents-in-law live nearby.
- your parents-in-law. / - yes. my sister-in-law came with her family. and she started doing the dishes. i felt sorry for her. were you taught to never enter the kitchen? i haven't done house chores. so... you can't do it because you haven't done it? - by force of habit. / - yes, by force of habit. but she was very sick at the time. you knew, right?
didn't you think you should help her? i thought i should, but it wasn't easy. are you unhappy with her? - is that the reason? / - are you trying to annoy her? i want her to put the children to sleep earlier. i'm a bit dissatisfied with that. - is that why you love fish? / - i think so. - you want to put them to sleep early. / - what time? i think they should go to bed around 11 p.m.
what time do they go to bed? they stay up until 2 or 3 a.m. sometimes. (she sighs.) i hope he'd play with them when he comes home. - they're filled with energy. / - they'd get tired. they'd fall asleep early if they play hard. but he's busy catching his sleep. you can do it together. right. you can put them to sleep.
she's seven months pregnant. i want to know why she has to put them to sleep. honestly, just say it. don't be scared. it's okay. i quit being abusive. really. - you quit? / - i really quit being abusive. tell us. i don't know how to play with kids. who knows it from the start? do you talk to your children?
"how was your day, darling?" i didn't give much attention to my children. do you talk to them at all? you just love fish. you're saying you don't know how to play with them. will you do it if i teach you? yes. i'll fix it. look. let's say he's your son. come here. this is how you play with boys. come here. just do this with the boys.
- do this. / - it's an airplane game. you can do this with your son. (fly, son.) (she's overflowing with power.) you can do this. you can play this. you're just working out. - how nice is that? / - it's catching two birds. - dads think like this. / - you're the expert. we try to do something with our children.
we think about all the place we can take the children. but what they want is to stay beside their dads. they just want to interact with their dads. whenever we had people like him, it was the same with everyone. they were very sensitive about the children touching their pets. has he ever gotten upset because of that? the children are interested in fish, too.
whenever they go near, he tells them to leave. when they ask him if they can feed the fish, he says, "you'll spill the food." he's sensitive. it's okay if they don't harm the fish. but they put things like yogurt and make the fish die. that's why i stop them. kids are innocent, you know? they think the fish will like what they like. - right. / - that's very lovely.
- but all the fish died. / - they died. he made a big fuss as soon as he got home. he scolded and hit their bottoms. - they'll remember it. / - i know. they're so precious though. he keeps scolding the children and has conflicts with them. haven't they created too much distance from their dad?
my eldest told me this after a visit at my parents-in-laws'. "mommy and daddy scold me." "but granddad smiled at me." he told me that. - that's sad. / - yes. it hurt me hearing it, so i cried. i told my husband not to scold them but treat them better.
and he didn't care about what i said. he scolds them whenever they touch the fish. it must be tough for her because he doesn't talk. her friends came today. did you know about this? he doesn't help her, so she struggles a lot. she even suffered from postpartum depression. one time, she was out of touch for six months. when i asked her about it, she said they had
fought badly and they hadn't talked to each other. - i see. / - they had a serious fight. - yes. / - why did they fight? - what was it about? / - ask her. i was about nine months pregnant. my twins are curious about everything. so they put their hands in the fish tank. - right. / - right. when that happens, it becomes a mess.
it's annoying you know? as soon as he came home, he got very upset. he got even more irritated than me. so i thought i couldn't live with him anymore. and you were nine months pregnant. i filled up the divorce papers. (she was close to divorcing him.) and then i left home. - you left home? / - yes.
when i was trying to leave, he took the card and phone. (he took her card and cell phone.) what's that? - isn't that very petty? / - he didn't want you to go. he was trying to stop her. he said, "leave the kids here." so i left alone. it was cold winter, and i was pregnant. - you didn't have anything on you. / - no.
i walked around all day. i sat down on a bench and thought what i was doing to myself. but i was worried about my children. so i went home. when i went home, i couldn't open the door. he changed the password. (he even changed the password.) so i had to stay in the cold for hours. you had to stay in the cold?
- and you were nine months pregnant. / - yes. why did you reconcile with him? (he's very upset.) you shouldn't have. - if she didn't... / - it's... - it's not a simple thing. / - if they don't, - the children might starve. / - right. i don't understand why you changed the passcode. i thought she'd come home early, but she didn't.
so i got upset and did that. but she was nine months pregnant. you were more upset than worried? i got upset because she didn't come home early. but she came home later. why didn't you open the door for her? (why didn't he open the door when she came?) i think i opened it.
i can't remember. he did open the door. you didn't know at the time, but you're embarrassed now, aren't you? - yes. / - yes. he looks like such a sweet person. it even looks like she's lying. - he's a scary man. / - she's frustrated. did you reconcile after that?
so i managed to go inside. and he was staring at the fish like a mad man. i felt so bad. so i went inside a room and cried. you didn't comfort her that you were sorry to make her stay in the cold? you never thought about comforting her? at the time, i was too upset. she left the children.
how about the next day? did you apologize at all? i was too embarrassed to say it. i see. how about after you got over that? (how about after that?) you were upset at first and embarrassed next. did you comfort her at all? i think everyone in this room feels the same as her.
we spent about an hour together. i don't do house chores. i don't know how to play with children. i can't breathe. i can't say anything. i feel so frustrated. this is... the two husbands are very different. which is worse?
i think this guy is worse than that guy. - i agree. / - i agree too. everyone's having a hard time. let's take a deep breath and resume the shoot. we'll start afterwards. start. gosh. - by the way, / - i feel frustrated. do you and your husband talk to each other at all? how often do you talk to each other?
when he comes home, he never talks. i am really curious. what do you do? are you a fish farmer? i do sales. (he's a salesman.) - what? / - sales? sell what?
you talk to your clients then. i sell curtains and beddings. are you finding peace in quiet things because your job gives you stress of dealing with people? it's like that. - you don't drink? / - no, i don't drink. try drinking. what is fish to you?
it's like family. it's something i should take care of. you're not taking care of your family. then how about your wife and children? they're family too. but they're not the same as the fish. - the children come first, / - right? no matter how i love fish. (it's easy to talk like that.)
lastly, please talk to your husband. what do you want from your husband? on weekends, don't just stare at the fish all day. i hope you'll play with the children. buy me snow crab sometimes. i hope you'll tell me how you love me. i hope you'll understand how i feel. yes. let's check if it's a worry or not. please press the button.
i think it's a worry. i think she feels very frustrated. - it's a worry. / - you said you understand him. but why do i feel so frustrated? (he feels frustrated.) - when he first came out... / - everything changed. i think it's a serious worry. i hope he'll look into his family's eyes. if you sympathize with her, please press the button.
(what does the audience think?) press the button. five, four, three, two, one. he's got just as many votes. - he's got a lot of votes too. / - right. please say something to your wife. thank you for giving birth to three children. i'm sorry about making you feel unsettled. i'm sorry and thank you.
what will you do about the fish? say it. i have to keep raising the fish. (he'll still keep the fish.) - of course. / - you'll care a little less. you'll raise it of course. your family will be your priority. let's see if he got more than 168 votes. please reveal the result.
it's a close fight. let's check the last digit. - nine. / - no way. - the last digit is nine. / - it's 169. - no. / - oh my. (will it be 169 and win?) what is it? (they failed.) (he's relieved?)
- he's disappointed. / - why are you relieved? it means you're more problematic. i misunderstood. good job everybody. stay happy. thank you. this letter came all the way from jeju. - jeju island. / - i'll introduce it to you. hello. i'm a man in his 40s from jeju. - these days, i'm... / - i think he's from gangwon.
(he's got gangwon province accent.) (he sounds like someone from gangwon province.) i'm a man in his 40s from jeju. my nine-year-old son really frustrates me. it's because of his strange treasure. "dad, it's from 1992." "there's only one in korea. isn't this pretty?" "this is from 1974. look." "water goes inside it."
is it a toy? no. my son is into electric fans. - electric fans? / - electric fans? yes. it's the electric fan you know. the nine-year-old is into electric fans? "i haven't seen this fan. where did you get this?" "i picked it up on the way." "where did you get this fan, son?" i can't listen to it anymore.
(her accent is unnatural.) was it too much? a lot of them speak with seoul accent. okay. the neighbor next door said it was broken. he collected about 50 electric fans. fifty electric fans? he got 50 electric fans. the house is turning into a junk shop.
what's even crazier is, he takes apart all the fans that aren't even broken. he breaks them apart. yes, he does it all night. "i'm going to throw them all out." "stop bringing them in." "why are you discouraging me?" he won't listen to me and stop.
please get him to stop. "please get my son to stop." he's almost like thomas edison. - yes, you're right. / - he's a curious boy. he's nine years old, isn't that too fast? let's get his father in here. please welcome today's guest. (today's guest has a son who's in love with fans.) (yoon junoh)
(nice to meet you.) i think it's fine to be interested in things like that, but he brings every single one he can find home. - there are about 50 of them. / - 50 electric fans. - that's a lot. / - it is. it's more than 50. (it's more than 50.) - what? / - there are also ventilators. - what? / - ventilators?
he likes all kinds of things that go around. - he likes propellers. / - i see. we have fans from the 60s and ones made in the us. sometimes he goes on video streaming sites and makes comments on other peoples' videos. he asks them if they can give him the fans. on children's day and his birthday, he only asks for more fans. don't kids these days like avengers?
doesn't he like superman and iron man? he's not into those. - he's only into fans? / - we don't even have a car. all we have are fans and ventilators. - that's hilarious. / - what about a television? you might not believe it, so we have pictures of proof. - did you bring them? / - yes. let's take a look.
(what are we up against here?) - look at that. / - oh, my goodness. is that his room? (the room is full of fans and ventilators.) - what's that? / - it looks like an electronics store. - oh, that. / - there's one more picture. doesn't that belong on top of a chimney? you could open an electronics store. - you certainly could. / - yes.
- look at all that. / - they're for sale, right? i hope the viewers don't get the wrong idea. it looks like an electronics store. it's not. is that your house? - that's in front of my store. / - oh, right. the first picture was taken at home. - this one is all the fans at the store. / - i see. - they're everywhere. / - he looks like the owner.
- he collected all those? / - he's the prince of fans. they're not for sale, right? - no. / - even the ones in the second picture? i finish work at 1 a.m. when i get back home late at night, it's a big pile of mess. he doesn't clean up. - i see. / - there are parts everywhere. it's a big stress for me. that's why i'm here. - look at that. / - this is what it looks like.
- i come home to that. / - i feel you. the parents finish work at 1 a.m. you must be exhausted by then. what's that thing that looks like a bedpan? - it came from the bathroom. / - look at the mess. - did he take it off from the ceiling? / - yes. (it looks more like a junk shop.) - oh, my. / - it looks like a junk shop. that's strange.
(now you know why i want you to stop him.) you came all the way to seoul after much consideration. you must have tried to talk him out of it. i said, "look at all this mess." he goes, "why are you discouraging a growing boy?" - he's all grown up. / - what does he want to be? yes, i wanted to know that.
he told his mom that he wanted to open a fan shop. he told me he wanted to own a repair shop. (he told his parents different jobs.) a repair shop? let's bring your son up here. what's his name? it's sujin. yoon sujin. - sujin. / - hello. - he's adorable. / - hello. can you introduce yourself?
hello, i'm yoon sujin. i'm nine years old from jeju island. sujin, why do you collect fans? - when i was five, / - right. - i saw an outdoor fan working. / - okay. i found it interesting. that got me into studying electric fans. - he's so smart. / - he said he studies them. dad says he's a bit worried.
can you understand why he might think that? he says it's a worry, but i've invested my money in them. i don't understand why he wants me to get rid of them. i don't know why he's discouraging a growing boy. (why are you discouraging a growing boy?) you don't want him to bother with your things. what kinds of fans do you have at home? i have wall fans, ceiling fans, usb fans,
and regular fans. there are lots. i have one that's made in the us. i got it for 230 dollars. (a 230-dollar fan) he took a picture of his favorite one. we'll go through it one by one. - please tell us all about them. / - sure thing. - are you excited? / - yes. - he looks happy talking about them. / - he does.
- what's this one? / - it looks cool. it's made in the us. it was in production from 1930 to 1950. - did he say it was in production? / - it's vintage. it's vintage? do you know what that means? - it's antique and pretty. / - that's right. - you're right. / - that's very accurate. - he's bright. / - it's vintage
and the motor works very well. it has two outputs. you adjust it by turning the switch on the back. (he knows everything about it.) what about this one? this one looks like it's made in korea. - this one looks old. / - can you tell us about it? - this one / - this is crazy. - is made in korea. / - he's really into them.
this reminds me of when i was little. - i remember that one. / - it's the goldstar. it's the goldstar, made in korea. - i was right. / - goldstar? it was first produced in 1974. there's a gem embedded in it. - yes. / - it glows. (the embedded gem glows.) it used to be green,
but i changed it to light amber. - what? / - he's very capable. - how much is that one? / - it's light amber. i got it for 150 dollars. - my goodness. / - there's another one. this is another one that i like. this was produced in 1976. - it came out later. / - are you only into fans? do you just like breaking things down in general?
a cold wave watch was issued last summer, so i invented a heater with light bulbs. (he invented a heater.) is there something else? i made a cd player with an optical disc drive. it's not finished yet. i also made an apple peeler. you made an apple peeler? it's in progress. i got all the parts.
at school, i did a project with my teacher. we made a robot that avoids obstacles. - it avoids obstacles? / - yes. - he's going to be an inventor. / - he took pictures of his inventions. he's going to be thomas edison of korea. - what's that? / - on the right is the lamp heater. the one on the left is the cd player.
i made holes in a soju box. - that's amazing. / - it works, but you can't hear anything. (it's a cd player without sound.) why don't you clean up afterwards? dad's mad about it. i try to clean up. are you a bit angry right now? (are you a bit angry right now?) he's trying to talk it out.
he leaned forward. i try to clean up, but dad tries to throw out anything he sees. what are you talking about? i get it. does he try to throw out things without you knowing? yes. one time, there was a big fan and he threw it out. i asked why you don't clean up afterwards.
it's true that i don't clean up, but i try to. so why don't you do it? (why don't you do it?) - give him an answer. / - the reason is that i get tired. (i get tired.) - he didn't want to admit it. / - he should be tired. - you assemble all the fans. / - he's adorable.
when are you most happy? there was a broken fan in english school. i was happy when i fixed it. we have a loyal customer at the store. he said he had a broken fan and i fixed it in less than a minute. (sujin was very proud.) way to go. is that your mom sitting next to you?
(she's my mom.) he put his hand on her shoulder. he's all grown up. do you think your son and husband fight a lot? yes, quite often. sujin would lay out all the parts at the parking lot. (help me out, mom.) sujin. let go of your mother.
he assembles things. it makes a mess - and gets in the way of a customer. / - right. dad tells him to clean it up, but he doesn't listen. dad gets angry and pushes them aside. sujin gets upset about that and cries. i'm stuck in between them. i'm the one that has to deal with everyone.
do you get stressed as well? yes, of course. he's working on the fans all night. he's up until 2 or 3 a.m. - that's intense. / - his nose bleeds a lot. - it happens a lot. / - my goodness. he said he wanted to move schools in his first grade. he spent so much time with electronics and didn't know how to make friends.
he didn't get along with others. i take him to school and pick him up every day. i'm worried he might not get along with friends. - it's a big concern for parents. / - it is. i went to talk with his teacher. his friends aren't the ones excluding him. it's sujin excluding all the other friends. that broke my heart. it was his decision to become an outcast.
did you want to say something? what were you going to say, sujin? - i want to say something to mom. / - sure, go ahead. say what's on your mind. mom. i didn't bully my friends. my friends aren't interested in the fan. i talk about other things they're into as well, so please don't talk about it.
(stop worrying about such things.) - he doesn't want you to worry. / - this is - what i'm talking about. / - you must be glad. how are sujin's grades? - he's one of the top students. / - i think he's smart. - my goodness. / - he's really smart. grades aren't so important at that age. - he's only in grade two. / - studying isn't all. - he needs to build social skills. / - that's right.
she must be worried since he keeps playing alone. what is your real dream, sujin? my real dream is to start a fan company. what effort are you making to achieve your dream? i do research on fans. management is crucial for my fan company to flourish, - so i'm reading books on management. / - that's right. (he studies management.) - goodness. / - you have nothing to worry about, ma'am.
- he has a specific dream, / - he's brilliant. and he performs well at school. sir, you don't need to worry so much. while he disassembles and assembles fans, he needs to wire electricals and solders iron as well. (he even needs to solder iron.) - he even solders iron? / - that's necessary. since he burned his finger while soldering iron,
he asked me to do it for him. - he asked you to do it. / - yes. - and... / - how adorable. when he burned his finger from soldering iron, he was like, "this is nothing to achieve my dream." "there, you can do this for me." (my dad will do this for me.) once, there was a lot of dust when he assembled a fan. the spark caused a fire.
- there was a fire? / - my gosh. his ideas may be advanced, but he's still too young. i'm constantly worried about him. to be honest, he's a son i had after 14 years. - he's a precious child. / - he's an only child, too. a nine-year-old son may get an electric shock. do both of you work all day long at the store? yes, we work from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. the next morning. he may suffer from lack of love from mom and dad.
he keeps clinging to his mother. i think that may have led his interest towards fans. we started our business before he was born, so that may be possible. we hug him once in a while. - sujin... / - what is your wish for your parents? - i want them to play with me more. / - that's right. when mom or dad takes me to their store, the cashier doesn't play with me,
so i feel a bit lonely. (i feel a bit lonely.) but you know why they can't spend time with you, right? - i do. / - why can't they spend time with you? our store... i'm not sure if i can say it here. mom, dad, can i say it here? (mom, dad, can i say it here?) - what are you going to say? / - what is it?
- they have no idea. / - are you asking or notifying? - it's like a puzzle. / - it's like a drama. it's like a line. - i can say it here, right? / - yes. our store was founded after they borrowed 300,000 dollars from another person. that's how they were able to open their store.
- my goodness. / - how did you know that? since then, they paid back about 100,000 dollars so far. there are about 100,000 dollars left to pay. i hope mom and dad will pay back their debt soon. are you in finance? no, i'm not! you must have said it casually, and he's remembered it correctly, right?
yes. honestly, he doesn't need to know that. - what would a kid think? / - if so... "play with me, mom." "forget it. you have 150,000 dollars to pay back." (a child has to cope with reality.) - exactly. / - cheer up, sujin. he's still a kid, though. earlier, sujin said that his wish for his parents - is that they'll play with him more often. / - right.
you must be upset, for you can't spend time with him. - he's still a kid. / - we didn't even get to take a photo at a canola flower festival that's held nearby. - although you live in jeju island? / - in jeju island? that tells how busy they are. all i did was work, so i wasn't able to spend time with sujin. i feel guilty. his eyes are tearing up. have you talked about what sujin wants to do with you?
it must be something about fans. - it may be something else. don't be sure. / - ask him. what do you want to do with your dad? (what does sujin really want?) i want to play statues. - what? / - statues. - really? / - this is statues. why do you want to play that game? - i... / - yes.
have liked this game since i was eight. i also want to play it with my dad. - goodness. / - that's nothing difficult. try it from there. - that's right. play statues. / - let's play together. say the first letter. - sujin. / - sujin. (let's play with dad.) - play from there. / - play from there.
- sujin, stay. start from there. / - start from there. start. statues freeze! (oh, no.) green light... red light! (sujin does his best.) sujin is a bit slow. - green light... red light. / - you're already caught. (you're already caught.)
you'd better run away! (he runs away swiftly.) (it was fun, though.) you were caught moving three times. he seemed really bright and happy. how was it? you played red light, green light with dad. what do you prefer, assembling fans or playing with dad? i like both playing red light, green light
and assembling fans. if mom and dad play red light, green light often, - i'll spend less time on fans. / - you'd like that? (i can spend less time on the fans.) sujin's constant activities on assembling fans to get on his dad's nerves may be his effort to communicate with him. sujin wants his dad to pay attention to him. it may be another expression that
a child wants his parents to play with him. he'll spend less time on the fans if you play with him. during his winter vacation, i'm planning to go somewhere close. unless you reduce the amount of time on fans, i will never play with you. sir, you shouldn't say that. that's not the right method. - sir. / - this is my worry.
- he's really worried. / - rather than going somewhere, it'd be nice if you could play with sujin for at least three minutes when he comes home from school. if you do it quickly, a game lasts only a minute. he loves that game that much. - will you do it, sir? / - i will. sir, do you have anything you'd like to say to sujin? i promised sujin upon coming here. - i see. / - what is it?
more than 100 votes proves my worry as valid, so sujin needs to stop his activities on the fans. if there are less than 100 votes, i promised to yield. i promised to yield. - sujin. / - yes? you'll stop if there are more than 100 votes, right? (you'll stop if there are more than 100 votes, right?) well... i will give you a response.
i will... (moving slightly) it'll be hard to stop, but i will collect only once in a while. why are you acting like a boss? (why are you acting like a boss?) he's consoling his father. all right, sohyun and junho, do you think it's a worry or not?
- i don't think it's a worry. / - why is that? since he's the dad, with his yielding and his effort to play with him, i think he'll grow up like any other child. all three of them lack communication. that's what upsets me a lot. the father keeps saying that sujin needs to ban fans, and the son insists that his dad must play with him. there are always conditions.
it may sound extreme, but i think that they need to get rid of all the fans at home. even if it's only for a brief moment, they need to have a meal and hold hands. it's really important for them to communicate. if you think that he must have been worried, press the button now. - will they earn over 100 votes? / - in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - all right. / - stop.
just now, sujin pressed the button. (what? why?) sujin you pressed the button, right? sujin, did you press the button because it's a worry? it's a secret. - my goodness. / - gosh, you're driving me nuts. (gosh, you're driving me nuts.) sujin, how many votes do you think he's got?
183 votes. - what? / - what? that means you will never be able to play with fans. i think others will think that it's a worry. sujin is very considerate and brilliant for his age. sir, you need to shift your way of educating him. how many votes did he get? sujin guessed 183. i don't think he's got that many votes.
- he'd be the top, then. / - he sure is nine years old. show us the result. (the result) the result is - did he get over 100 votes? / - it's close. did he get over 100 votes? - the father's wish... / - my goodness! (the father lacks three votes to attain his joy.) - my goodness. / - he got 97 votes!
oh, no. - oh, dear. / - oh, no. sujin will never reduce his time on the fans this way. - i will reduce it a little bit. / - all right. thank you. (we hope that all three of you will be happy.) gosh, sir. ("why are you with me?" won.) we'll give the winner a 1,000-dollar gift certificate.
until the day we are all worry-free hello counselor will continue to counsel you. - thank you! / - thank you! ("the eye" by infinite)
