What did you want to do before?
In Busan, I was a member of a quite well-known
indie band with my friends for a long time.
We were quite popular,
but we couldn't make enough money.
- Right. / - Honggi has gone completely commercial.
- Commercial. / - We...
(I love music, too.)
- I am sorry. / - What's wrong with you?
Goodness.
And you know the biggest obstacle to a band.
Our guitarist had to serve the military.
We became stressed and disbanded the band.
After we disbanded, I had nothing to do.
So I discussed it with my dad.
"I'm into games, and I hear Internet cafes are good."
"Please trust me and open me one."
So he got a loan for me.
I opened it, and it did well.
But one day, kids came to the cafe
and asked for ramyeon, but I didn't want to serve them.
I felt suffocated inside, and I couldn't stay there.
At the time, they were recruiting new comedians.
So I took the test, and I passed right away.
What?
I worked under Cultwo for three months.
(You worked with us?)
- You did? / - I was the rock...
Were you the rock singer with long hair?
Yes, that's me.
Did he work with you?
(He was in the corner of their memory!)
- I remember him. / - That's crazy.
- I remember him. / - He's really good.
Why did you quit after three months?
I was an ace.
I made really fun skits.
I was the most popular...
So why did you quit after just three months?
I will tell you. Wait.
(I'll tell you now.)
He's excited.
"People Looking for Laughter" closed at the time.
- It stopped at the time. / - It was when it stopped.
When we heard the news, everyone was shocked.
- Right. / - We didn't know what to do.
If you are working as a trot singer,
you must make some money.
Why do you keep asking money from your family?
Because I'm an unknown singer,
I only sing at birthday parties and weddings.
And as a rookie, I only get paid 300 to 500 dollars.
When I don't have any gigs
and I don't have enough to pay the phone bill,
I turn to my brother for money. "Lend me 200 dollars."
You don't always have to work at events.
You can do a side job like your brother.
You should try making money yourself.
If I have a job and get a sudden offer to do a big gig,
I have to quit my job and take the chance.
Then I'd feel sorry to my boss.
So I can't take regular jobs.
I load and unload parcels, and labor work.
I only do short-term jobs.
- You can't have a regular job. / - Right.
The nature of my job prevents me from it.
He says he can work, and he does work.
He loads and unloads parcels.
But then he goes, "It's hot today."
"It's 36 degrees Celsius. I might die. I can't do it."
- He quits easily. / - In winter,
"It's too cold. I can't do this."
"I shouldn't do this."
He says stuff like that.
And he keeps asking me for money.
I work two to three jobs. What he does is nothing.
He stresses me out so much
that my face got paralyzed one day.
- You're too young. / - Facial paralysis.
- Yes. / - Goodness.
When I was eating soup for breakfast,
it kept coming out from one side.
I had to stay in a hospital for a month.
The doctor said I had to practice my pronunciation
about 3,000 times a day to become normal again.
- But... / - I kept saying it.
- Did you? / - I even did it in my dreams.
My mouth moved by itself
until I recovered.
You're laughing now, but it was serious for me.
- Right. / - It must've been so tough for him.
How did you feel when you saw him like that?
Did you know about this?
I didn't have any money for transportation.
When I heard about his condition,
I was so sorry.
(He suddenly feels sorry.)
He's suddenly crying.
- He's sorry. / - Right.
- He's soft. / - When...
When I saw my brother's mouth paralyzed,
I felt really bad.
If you feel bad, you should bear your responsibility.
- Crying won't do anything. / - Right.
How did you feel?
When you were paying for his credit card bills,
what was the biggest amount you have paid?
(He can't calm down.)
He's sad.
When I was paying his bills, the amount
ranged from several thousands to...
- Around 1,000 dollars? / - 10,000 dollars.
- That's a lot. / - Is that a monthly bill?
Yes. I somehow paid for everything.
How did he spend 10,000 dollars a month?
I write and produce my songs.
I have to promote them, but my agency isn't doing well.
So I have to produce my album on my own.
My parents supported me to chase my dream,
and they lent me money for the last time.
So that's where the money went in.
Their parents are here, too.
- Hello. / - Hello.
Your younger son is suffering a lot
because of your elder son.
Do you sympathize with your younger son?
Yes. I'm honored to be here because of my son.
(He subtly disses his son.)
- Goodness. / - My youngest
is acting as the eldest.
He takes care of his father, mother and brother.
- I am so thankful to him. / - Right.
How have you been supporting your eldest?
He came to Seoul in 2005.
He took 20,000 dollars at the time.
He needed it to pay the rental deposit.
We trusted him and gave him the money.
But he lost all of that.
Last year, he asked for 20,000 dollars
to produce his album.
So we gave him 20,000 dollars, but he began asking
for 3,000, 7,000, 1,000 and 500 dollars continuously.
- I don't think he is making an album. / - Seriously.
- It's hard to believe. / - It doesn't make sense.
He says that the money is for making an album,
- but he uses it as an allowance. / - I see.
He borrows money if he needs more money.
How much money have you spent on him so far?
The total amount is close to 200,000 dollars.
- 200,000 dollars? / - Yes.
He spent 20,000 dollars every year.
And that's excluding the money from his brother.
He continuously asks for money.
It's like pouring water into a bottomless pot.
And where did you get the money to give him?
We mortgaged our house and took out secured loans.
My husband also set up a line of credit.
- He set up a line of credit. / - Yes.
- Also, / - My goodness.
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer nine years ago
and received money from my insurance company.
He just took that money without thinking.
He doesn't care about his family.
He only cares about himself.
Are you still in debt?
Yes. We could never travel abroad like other people.
We are still about 100,000 dollars in debt.
- Why... / - You are 100,000 dollars
- in debt? / - Yes.
Sir, how much do you pay back every month?
A taxi driver must take several days off a month.
I work 17 days a month.
I must work 15 hours to make 100 dollars a day.
It's hard to make 100 dollars a day.
- Sir. / - I make about 2,000 dollars a month.
My wife takes out 1,000 dollars from the total
- She pays off debt with it. / - to pay off debt.
It's the money my beloved son spent.
(Angry)
Your beloved son.
Did you know about the 100,000-dollar debt?
I received about 40,000 or 50,000 dollars.
My mother exaggerates when she says
she spent 200,000 dollars on me.
My family isn't that rich.
You continue to give excuses.
- Okay. / - Their situation makes your heart ache,
- doesn't it? / - Don't downplay the money you spent.
- My goodness. / - You know
that your parents are struggling financially.
So is your brother.
Don't you think it's dangerous to put your hopes
- in the uncertain future? / - It's reckless.
Trot is my life's passion.
I put a lot of effort into realizing my dream.
As you know, the population is aging rapidly.
I want to be a trot singer and make people happy.
I think it's good to have to a dream.
- That's right. / - However, as I said before,
you fail to take care of those around you
in your desire to realize your dream.
- You only receive support from others. / - Exactly.
It a sad situation.
You think of success as a one-shot deal.
- That's right. / - It's not a one-shot deal.
Success is built on continuous and diligent works.
You haven't even debuted yet.
You won't become a hit immediately after you debut.
There is a problem with your mindset.
I was the winner of "Star Audition: The Great Birth".
I thought incredible things would happen afterwards.
- That's right. / - The change doesn't come suddenly.
It wasn't like that.
I thought I would make a lot of money.
However, thinking about money ruined my music.
It's time to think in an objective and realistic way.
Even if it's heartbreaking, those around him
should draw a line when he asks for money.
Haven't you thought to stop supporting him?
Since he always asked for money when he came home,
I made him give me a written promise,
promising to pay back what he has borrowed.
It was two years ago, but he borrowed again last year.
He still borrows money from us.
You should forget written promises.
Haven't you thought to stop supporting him completely?
When we brought it up,
he talked about depression and committing suicide.
(It's the worst thing he can say to his parents.)
He would say that late at night.
- He is the worst. / - He made me worry
that I would drive him to commit suicide.
It's not like I will take money with me when I die.
That's why I just couldn't cut him off coldly.
(He can only sigh.)
Let's take this moment to see
if he has the talent to succeed as a trot singer.
- That's a good idea. / - Let's listen to him sing.
That's a good idea.
(Good luck, my son.)
(He is channeling the spirit of trot.)
(He dreams of succeeding as a trot singer.)
(The eldest son is excited.)
(Depressed)
(His posture looks familiar.)
(He sings passionately in hopes of success.)
(Happy!)
(Let's be happy)
(Stretching out the note)
Thank you.
(What does the audience think?)
Say something.
I have no words.
- Don't embarrass him. / - I'm going over the lyrics.
"Such is life".
Donggeun, tell us what you think.
- Me? / - You are a singer.
Give us a one-sentence review.
I don't know.
Really?
What changes in your brother were you hoping for
when you sent your worry?
I want him to lead the family as the eldest son
and take care of matters, small or big.
However, he doesn't do that.
I asked him to hold a dinner for our parents' birthday.
"I don't have money for traveling expenses."
"You can take care of it."
"I'll just send my love." He refuses like that.
He says he doesn't have money for traveling expenses.
Yes. But he would come
when I send him 500 dollars for traveling expenses.
- 500 dollars? / - That's too much.
Since it's an event, I pay a performance fee.
(It's an event.)
- It's a family event. / - A family event.
You pay your brother a performance fee.
At my parents' birthday or other family events,
he receives an allowance from our mother.
(That's unbelievable.)
What did you need the 500 dollars for?
The round trip on a bus costs 80 dollars.
I also had to buy gifts for my niece
- and meet up with friends. / - He bought gifts.
Anyway, I'm sorry. I'm in a tight spot.
He used the money he received from you
to buy gifts for your daughter.
It's ridiculous, but he cares about his niece.
My daughter is five years old.
- She's never received a gift from him. / - What?
What do you mean?
She never received even a toy from my brother.
He just said that he bought your daughter gifts.
You said you needed the money for gifts.
I had the intention of buying her gifts, but...
My goodness.
This is ridiculous.
Did you decide to come to the show
because he has done something particularly bad?
No. My mother and I will stop
supporting him financially now.
- It's a heavy burden. / - I am done.
- It's hard. / - I feel like I'm going to die.
I told my parents, too.
My mother calls me
whenever she can't get a hold of my brother.
She calls me and says, "I can't reach your brother."
"Have you talked to him recently?"
"What do you want me to do?"
We'd end up fighting and me hanging up on her.
Eventually, I call my brother because I'm worried.
I repeatedly send him text messages and call
even if his mobile phone is off.
But then my mother would ask, "Did you talk to him?"
Just stop it. I need to live my life, too.
Stop pushing me. Let me live my life.
My feelings get hurt.
Of course.
Whenever she does that...
- I feel bad for him. / - I have a wife and a daughter.
She often hurts my feelings
when she only takes care of my brother.
It makes me feel lonely.
You need to consider what your brother said.
Your brother said
he might become depressed and kill himself.
Your parents can't help but worry.
I know.
You haven't heard this before, have you?
- No. / - How do you feel?
- You hurt his feelings. / - I feel bad.
Of course.
You heard what has been happening
- between the family members. / - Yes.
It's hard for them to support you financially.
And when you don't keep in touch,
your brother argues with your mom.
I came here cheerfully,
but hearing their worries makes me realize
that I have done them wrong.
They are my family,
not my investors. This is a sticky situation.
No matter what happens from now on,
I promise not to ask for more financial support.
I'll work hard to make my name known
in the trot industry.
There is something you should know.
Take a look at people in the entertainment industry.
No one succeeded with money from their family.
- No one did. / - I had nothing at first.
I lived in a rat-infested room and worked many jobs.
I failed auditions repeatedly
and challenged myself while working part time.
(You can't get anything without putting in effort.)
Say what you want to say to your brother.
Brother.
I won't stop you from pursuing a career in music.
I sincerely hope everything works out for you.
But I don't want you calling me or Mom and Dad
and saying it will be the last time.
Don't say, "Help me this one last time."
Let the family live in peace.
I hope you live well. I love you.
(His words are blunt, but full of love.)
Donggeun, tell us if you think it's a worry.
Okay. Gosh, I feel emotional.
I think it's a serious worry.
I hope the family will live in harmony.
Since every problem they face stemmed from you,
I hope you could make wise decisions from now on.
I also think it's a worry.
Parents don't wait for their children.
I was very busy after I debuted
and couldn't take good care of my parents.
Then my mom got cancer and passed away few years later.
She was gone when I could finally take care of her.
I hope you would keep that in mind
and make an effort for your family.
I also think it's a worry.
I hope you would look back on your family.
I think it's a worry.
It's nice that you have talent.
Please live happily and harmoniously with your family.
If you can sympathize with the man with a heavy burden,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In five, four, / - In five, four,
- three, two, one. / - three, two, one.
- Stop. / - Time's up.
Please say a few words to your younger brother.
My beloved brother.
From now on,
I won't ask for financial help.
I will try my best to become an older brother
you can lean on.
I love you.
(We hope the family will become happy.)
Let's see how many votes the worry received.
Show us the result.
(The result)
("My Goodness.")
(The last digit is zero.)
It received over 100 votes.
(What will the result be?)
160 votes.
(My goodness.)
(160 votes)
The title of the next worry is "My Bleeding Dad".
