Wow, that's a big one.
"A tough life."
She sent us a story because she lives a tough life.
But she shouldn't at her age.
Why?
Hello. I live a tough life.
I'm a 15-year-old middle school student.
Already? Why?
This is what happens at home.
"Mom! I'm hungry! I want to eat!"
"You didn't do anything.
If you really want to eat
go out and jog 3 times around the field.
Then jump rope 2,000 times.
Then do 10 sets of squats.
If you don't, you can't eat."
My mom doesn't give me anything to eat
unless I work out first.
If she doesn't work out...
Whether it rains or snows,
I have to run every single day.
Then one day. "Oh no.
Mom. I sprained my ankle. I can't walk."
"Why all of a sudden?"
All of a sudden?
It usually happens all of a sudden.
Does it ever happen gradually?
I think I'm going to sprain my ankle today.
No one plans it.
"So what? You can't work out today?"
"Of course not. I'm in so much pain."
"Okay. You don't have to work out.
But you can't have dinner tonight."
So I had to jog with my bad ankle.
After working out, I finally get to eat a meal.
My mom says, "You're not human. You're a pig!
When will you lose all that weight?"
She says such terrible things to me.
Is she her birth mother?
Even when I study...
"You gain weight because you're always sitting.
Instead of studying, study the calories of the food
that you ate and burn them."
Her mom doesn't want her to study either?
I want to eat 3 meals a day without being nagged at.
Please stop my mom. This is the story.
Is she really fat?
Ina, do you watch your weight, too?
You're a young woman.
I can really relate to this story because
I became a trainee when I was 15.
So my mom started to tell me to watch my weight then.
I know how this girl feels so well.
What's sad is that
at age 15, she must eat and grow.
Her growth plates are still open.
I'm only 5 feet tall, so I want to point out
that you have to keep eating to grow taller.
Jump roping 2,000 times and doing 10 sets of squats.
If this girl weighs 80-90kg
then I'd understand why her mom is doing this.
We'll have to bring her out and meet her first.
She's a 15-year-old girl.
Please come on out.
(Who is concerned about her harsh mom?)
(Not at all!)
(Lee Yujeong)
What?
She's not fat, right?
No.
Come here. Take off your shoes.
- She's so cute. / - She's cute.
She's so cute.
And the audience.
You should've answered "no" loudly.
You were too soft-spoken.
Let me ask again. Is she fat?
No.
She's not skinny, but she's not overly fat.
Your eyes are so cute, too. Are they wide open?
She's like a little doll.
How cute.
Please introduce yourself.
Hello. I live a tough life.
I'm Lee Yujeong.
Hello.
You exaggerated in the story, right?
She doesn't really refuse to feed you, right?
She really doesn't give me food.
No matter how hungry I am
she won't give me food unless I work out.
Why does she do that?
She says, "Women mustn't weigh more than 50 kg.
Women must always be skinny and beautiful."
What about you?
I must be neither a man or a woman.
- You are dressed similarly. / - Yes.
(They resemble each other)
We listened to your story.
How much do you have to work out?
I work out in the morning on an empty stomach.
I run 1-2 hours before going to school.
I was once late to school because of that.
In the evening, I do 2-3,000 jump ropes.
- Wow. / - Are you an athlete?
Then I do 10 sets of 15 squats.
30 minutes of ab workouts.
My mom tags along and keeps her eyes on me.
She watches you when you work out?
She yells at me if I can't run as fast as she can.
But considering how much you work out,
you didn't lose much weight.
Working out 2 hours on an empty stomach.
Oh, come on.
Since when was your mom like this?
Since I was in second grade.
Second grade?
Ever since I was in second grade,
I jump roped 2,000 times after dinner
and took a walk.
It got worse when I started middle school.
She got quite bad since then.
(That's terrible)
She must cook you an huge meal afterwards.
When she cooks for me,
she gives me 3 spoonfuls of rice.
- That's it? / - Yes, and
I only get 3 small pieces of ham and soup.
That's not enough.
3 spoonfuls of rice.
The size of the spoon may be different.
So we asked for some pictures.
- That's... / - That's too simple.
That's too little.
Rice...
The first picture is my breakfast.
- I get 3 sheets of seaweed. / - 3 sheets?
3 sheets of seaweed and very little rice.
That is very little.
The rice bowl is only one-third full.
What's the third picture?
That's what I get when I don't work out much.
(A penalty meal?)
Your mom doesn't let you have many carbs.
Did you get to eat today?
No. I didn't work out, so no.
- She really doesn't give you anything? / - Yes.
So you haven't eaten anything today?
It's the afternoon and you haven't eaten?
- No. / - Are you hungry?
I'm hungry.
We should wrap this up and feed her.
I want to give her something, but...
When I looked at the pictures,
- and the meals are healthy. / - Right.
You eat just a little with fruit and vegetables.
You can lose weight and become healthy.
Doesn't this have a good side as well?
The problem is that she has gone too far.
I have to work out whether it rains or snows.
One day, it was raining while thundering.
I jogged with a raincoat on.
- You could get struck by lightning. / - And...
I got home at midnight after school.
I had to run in the rain and lightning.
One time, I broke my toe.
All of a sudden?
No. I was fooling around with my friends.
I once broke my toe
and had a cast for 3 weeks.
The first thing my mom said to me was,
"Why did you get hurt? You can't work out now."
That must have hurt your feelings.
What I was surprised to hear earlier is that
your mom doesn't just tell you to work out,
- but she works out with you? / - Yes.
She's a trainer.
Oh, she's a trainer.
She even has a six-pack.
(Her mother is unique in many ways)
She has a six-pack.
She has her reasons for liking working out.
But she still seems to be a little too harsh.
Let's meet her mother first.
Hello, ma'am.
Hello.
Can you please stand up for us?
Since you're a trainer.
Please turn around.
(Turn around)
She has a flat stomach.
She's really fit.
If she wore pants and a t-shirt,
I would've asked her to show us her abs.
(But I won't...)
She could've slightly lifted up her shirt.
You can touch my abs instead.
- Ina, why don't you do it? / - May I?
She has a six-pack.
I thought women's abs didn't become six-packs.
Some do.
(Oh my!)
Her abs are bumpy.
She screamed out in shock.
I was able to hear that. (Mom's six-pack)
But you work out a lot because
you like to and you're good at it.
We understand because it's your job.
But do you really refuse to feed her at times?
Yes, that's true.
Must you do that? She's not an athlete.
She gained 10kg after she started middle school.
The machines say she has too much fat.
- Too much fat. / - Yes. Too much body fat.
She's getting fat instead of getting taller.
So I can't help but watch her weight for her.
But you make her work out too much.
She normally doesn't move around a lot.
She's always lying down, playing with her phone.
When I tell her to go work out by herself,
she doesn't do it sincerely.
That's why I join her when she works out.
I've been working out for 20 years, too.
Being consistent is the key.
If she works out 2-3 hours a day...
That's still too much.
- 2-3 hours a day? / - Just an hour.
That's ridiculous. 2-3 hours a day.
He was speaking nonchalantly, so I thought
he would say 30 minutes a day. But 2-3 hours?
Because she is too harsh.
2-3 hours a day isn't so bad, right?
(Shaking her head)
No? Oh...
Even an hour or two...
I don't make her work out like that every day.
Only when she has eaten too much.
How can she eat too much when you don't feed her?
She goes out to eat with her dad sometimes.
When I'm at work.
See? I knew there was something.
There was your dad.
Based on what she said, she'd have a six-pack, too.
Exactly.
You really don't want her to weigh over 50kg?
That exact number is not what I want from her.
She gets stressed out about clothes.
If she can't fit into her clothes in less than a year,
it means she has gained too much weight.
She should try to lose weight to fit into them,
but she doesn't. She keeps asking for new clothes.
One day, she was going out with her friends.
She was wearing her dad's pants.
What?
She was wearing loose elastic pants.
I was so upset to see that.
Maybe that's the fashion she prefers.
She said that's today's trend, but...
Is it a trend to wear dad's pants?
Wearing loose pants.
Why did you wear your dad's pants?
Mom only buys clothes when I'm skinny.
So I only have tight jeans.
But when I'm with friends, I want to be comfortable,
so I was looking for something loose to wear.
Are you wearing dad's pants today, too?
My dad bought these for me.
Your dad is on your side.
These are loose pants that my dad got me.
- She loves them. / - She's so cute.
She's really cute.
So your mom makes you work out and eat less.
Did you ever succeed in losing weight?
Last year, my mom told me that if I didn't
lose weight, she wouldn't buy me school uniforms.
So I lost about 10kg then.
My school uniforms are very tight on me now.
Your weight came back and they're tight?
So I asked my mom to buy new uniforms for me,
but she told me to lose weight instead.
So you wear tight uniforms to school?
No. I wear PE uniforms to school now.
(Dad's pants and PE uniforms)
You can't fit your body into clothes.
But I don't understand.
You work out every day.
Why can't you lose weight?
There must be something else.
You work out so much every day. Right?
We've had similar cases before.
When we dug into their daily patterns,
we always found the reason for gaining weight.
They normally eat more than others.
School lunch.
Right.
Is there a snack store at school, too?
There isn't, but we have a cafeteria.
I eat like crazy at school.
(Forget it)
- She eats a lot. / - She says she eats like crazy.
I get a big pile of meat in a soup bowl.
In a soup bowl?
She must've wanted to eat so much.
You eat a lot of rice, too?
I lose control when I eat at school.
I would go over to my friend's place
and cook things to eat, too.
Look at her mom's face.
I knew something wasn't adding up right.
All the other cases were the same.
I'm sorry, but her mom is grinding her teeth.
She's grinding her teeth.
If you're forbidden to do something,
all you do is think about that.
She must always be wondering what time it is
and thinking about what to eat next. Right?
Right. I memorized the school lunch menu.
Really?
What did you eat last Monday?
Andong-style braised spicy chicken.
Andong chicken. What else?
We had fish sticks on Tuesday.
That sounds good.
We had bulgogi on Wednesday.
That's the best when you mix it with rice.
We had pizza rice cakes on Thursday.
That is fattening. Pizza rice cakes.
We had Vietnamese rice noodle soup on Friday.
Those things are served at school?
I want to transfer to this school.
The cafeteria menu is so nice.
Unbelievable.
You shouldn't send her to school.
That's what I should do.
(She may not send Yujeong to school)
You can't watch what she eats when she's at school.
I can't, but she makes it easy for me to find out.
How?
She always has sauce around her lips.
How cute.
Or she suddenly brushes her teeth
when she normally doesn't.
Then I get angry at her.
So I make her work out and refuse to feed her.
That's useless.
You end up eating more and more
because of your mom, right?
Yes.
When did you feel like she when was being too harsh?
My mom eats a lot, too.
Pizza, chicken, beer...
She lays them out and eats them all.
She cooks 3 bags of ramen at once.
- Alone? / - Yes.
She lays everything out.
She tells me, "Go work out first and then eat!
I'll leave some for you."
When I come back, all she gives me is a drumstick.
Is she teasing me or something?
That's torture.
You must really work out a lot.
You can digest all that food, huh?
Yes. I love to eat.
How do you stay so fit?
I work out as much as I eat.
Yujeong told us the story to badmouth her mom,
but we are all impressed by her.
How can she be so fit after eating that much?
She has a six-pack.
How many hours do you work out a day?
I work out for 2 hours right after I wake up.
Then whenever I have company dinners at night,
even if I come home at 2-3 a.m.
I work out before going to sleep.
I graduated with a degree in physical education...
Oh, you did?
Working out is a habit for me.
She's a true athlete.
That's why I can't accept her body.
How many siblings do you have?
I have an older brother.
Is he big? Does she make him work out, too?
He's a career soldier, so he lives on his own.
He's a career soldier?
My dad is slim, too.
- He is? / - Yes.
So no one is on your side.
So she only makes you go on a diet?
She yells at my friends, too.
When I'm hanging out with my friends
she tells us to go outside and play.
To your friends?
She says, "Birds of a feather..."
I think they've flocked here today.
They are one and the same.
Hello.
Wave your hands.
Hello.
They're so cute.
Isn't it upsetting to hear that
you're the same as Yujeong?
I do hear that a lot,
but I've never thought that we're the same.
But they say we look the same from the back.
Oh, from the back?
How about you? How does that make you feel?
It makes me realize I need to lose weight.
(Ha)
Do you understand Yujeong's concern?
Yujeong must get upset because she hears it often.
She talks about it at school very often.
So she spends all her money at convenience stores.
That's what happens.
Your secrets are coming out now.
She spent $10 one time on a meal.
At a convenience store?
- Her mom is shocked. / - Look at her face.
She never knew that before.
There are many things to eat at a convenience store.
Why are you yelling at her?
(Naive / Innocent)
Whatever she buys at a convenience store,
she eats it secretly at my place.
I understand that.
Then my mom cooks for us, too.
She eats that as well.
How much do you eat in a day?
You buy food, your friend's mom cooks for you...
How much do you guys eat at your place?
We once made spicy rice cakes together.
We cooked a bag of rice cakes, fish cakes and cheese.
(Speechless)
Look at her mom's face.
(Why did you make her jump rope 2,000 times?)
Then we added ramen powder since it tasted bad, too.
Ramen powder?
- You didn't add in the ramen noodles? / - We did.
They must eat a lot.
This is what happens. This is the side effect.
What do you think?
I need to make her work out even more now.
Can't you just trust your daughter?
I feel betrayed by her right now.
She's eating like that because of you.
She'd eat that much even if I don't do that.
Tell us. If you were Yujeong,
would you be stressed or not?
I would eat more because of the stress.
You would eat more?
Doesn't your mom tell you to lose weight?
She says we should lose weight together
but she doesn't like to exercise either.
Is she big?
Yes... She's just like me.
(She reveals her mom's secret)
The woman next to her is laughing.
I'm Yujeong's friend Seyeon's mother.
You two look alike.
When your daughter and Yujeong hang out
and people call them one and the same,
does that upset you?
They do look alike.
As you can see right now.
Even I think that they look the same.
But they're not grotesquely overweight.
They're just very solid.
When Yujeong goes over to your house,
do you think she eats a lot?
I always ask if she has eaten.
She almost always says she hasn't.
So I cook for her, too.
She strangely comes often whenever we eat meat.
Strangely. That is quite strange, right?
It's strange.
She may know when you eat meat at home.
Yujeong eats a lot.
Whenever we talk
she often complains.
About what?
She says that whenever she and her mom go out
her mom is embarrassed by her.
She says it's because she's fat.
When they go out together.
Yujeong seems to be hurt by that.
When did your mom say that to you?
I used to work out at her gym
she made me promise I wouldn't
call her mom.
She told me to call her coach.
(Oh my)
I was walking with her linking arms
and we ran into one of her students.
She told me to go stand by myself at a distance.
I asked her if they talked about something serious
and she said she was embarrassed by me.
She told me to lose weight if I want to be with her.
You're not really embarrassed by her, are you?
I'm not.
But I'm a trainer.
My job is to make my students stay fit.
It looks like you don't make your daughter fit.
I feel like people look at me as though I only care
about myself and not my daughter.
That's why I've put some distance between us
and I feel bad about that.
I am a bit disappointed by her though.
That's being so self-centered.
You say you're worried about Yujeong
and you say that to make her eager to lose weight.
But you just care more about yourself.
My father used to be an elementary school teacher.
He taught Chinese characters to his students.
When his students and their parents went on a trip
and looked at a piece written in Chinese characters,
all his students were able to read that.
But I couldn't.
The parents asked,
"Your son can't read Chinese characters?"
If my father were embarrassed by me,
I would've been hurt.
But he said, "His teacher teaches him other things,
so Dongyeob is very good at other things."
Your father is great.
He wasn't embarrassed by me at all.
Of course I told many funnier jokes to my friends.
Anyway...
Even at a young age,
I was grateful to my dad.
Do you think your mom is a perfect mom
except the fact that she's making you lose weight?
She's indifferent about everything else.
She only cares about staying fit and working out.
She doesn't care about my grades at all.
No matter what grade I get, she doesn't care.
I used to be terrible at math.
I got 45 points, but studied and got 100 points.
She must've praised you.
I really studied hard and got a perfect score,
but all she said was, "Oh, good job."
She never sincerely complimented you.
"Your grades went up. Of course you should study."
So you ate a whole pizza pie?
(Haha)
Is she happier about losing weight?
Rather than getting a higher score,
she cares more about me losing weight.
Is losing weight more important than studying?
Even she didn't get good grades,
I would've made her exercise more.
I believe that being physically and psychologically
healthy is more important than good grades.
Don't you think that what you're doing to her might
make it harder for her to be psychologically healthy?
In the past, she wanted to lose weight herself.
She asked me to help her
lose weight before.
So I admit that I was hard on her at times.
But she says she hates working out now.
She's at that age. She's in middle school now.
She just hates whatever grownups tell her to do.
But you only seem to be focused on one thing
and that's what we're concerned about.
I do admit that I'm harsher than other parents.
I just want her to grow up to be confident.
She must look beautiful in order to
be accepted in society in the future.
But you must note that being confident
is more about how happy you are with yourself.
There are people who are self-conscious
even though others think they look okay.
Some people are quite confident even though
other people think otherwise.
It looks attractive for a person to work hard, too.
People aren't confident or lack confidence
just because of their figures.
That's wrong.
I'm married, too.
You're skinny, Seulgi.
You exercise a lot.
You don't gain weight no matter how much you eat.
I do. I gain weight if I eat a lot.
But you're able to stay fit by working out.
I work hard for that and I want the same from her.
She can't be just like her mom.
Let's say your mom was very smart.
But you didn't like to study.
"Why won't you study?
I study this much. Why won't you?"
But every person is different.
"Why can't you be more like me? I don't get it.
If you don't get good grades, no food for you."
You're doing the same thing.
When you look at your students,
isn't willpower more important in losing weight?
- Sure. / - You can't force them to lose weight.
But you're forcing your daughter.
I'm worried because Yujeong is at that age
where she needs good memories with her mom
and needs to feel comfort at home.
But instead, she has a scary mom at home.
Will she be able to have good memories
of you when she grows up?
I used to be an athlete when I was young.
I had to meet the quota of how much to work out.
I didn't get any food if I didn't make the quota.
Instead of working harder to meet the quota,
I just pretended to do it.
I would sneak off on my own.
I pretended to be tired to go to my room and rest.
I'm afraid that she'll end up with a bad habit.
That's possible.
I'll tell you why I am fat.
We drink water when we're thirsty, right?
My mom was always busy working
so she couldn't prepare meals for me on time.
I got to eat one meal a day at night.
So I ended up binging whenever I could eat.
Right. I know what that's like.
I really binge on food.
All Yujeong can think about is food, too.
So she eats a lot whenever she can, gaining weight.
Do you binge on food?
If your mom always cooks for you,
can you control how much you eat at school?
Yes, I think so.
Will you exercise on your own, too?
I can't exercise when I have exams,
but I will exercise on a daily basis with mom.
Please tell your mom what you want from her.
Mom seems to care about appearances.
She thinks women must be skinny and pretty.
She thinks it's useless for women to be smart.
That's what she said to you.
Women must be skinny and pretty to succeed.
I wish mom would change the way she thinks.
I also want her to care more about my grades.
I've never heard this before.
She wants her mom to care more about her grades.
(Speechless)
I used to like exercising in the past.
I liked talking a walk and talking to her.
- Because it was fun. / - I liked it.
But now she runs off on her own.
She yells at me if I don't keep up with her.
She drags me around like a cow.
She has realized it now.
"Why won't mom talk to me about inner beauty?"
She's old enough to realize that now.
She is thirsty for your love.
I think it's best that you quench that for her.
Is it a concern or not?
I don't think it's a concern.
Since I'm an actor,
I want my daughter to be an actress, too.
This is because she's forcing her to be the same.
If they can find common ground,
I think they'll be able to resolve this.
I think it's a sad concern.
At this age, girls should hang out with their friends
and make great, simple memories with each other
and enjoy eating home-cooked meals, too.
But she doesn't seem to have that,
so I think it's a sad concern.
She has many memories with her friends.
(I'm doing that well on my own)
I think it's a concern, too.
I think it's a concern, too.
She'll grow up, get married and have kids.
But I hope she doesn't grow up and have
a grudge against her mom, saying that
her mom hurt her so much.
If you can relate to her concern,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
Please stop.
Please say a word to your lovely daughter.
Yujeong.
I'm not embarrassed by you at all.
I'm just concerned.
I know that I was a bit harsh on you.
But you must exercise.
I will do my best to
give a bit more food to you.
I know I said some harsh things
and did things that hurt you.
I will try to fix that. I love you.
Please care more about her grades.
Why don't you praise her?
She got a perfect score in math.
Her grades average 95 or above.
Wow. You're very smart.
You're so humble, too.
That's why I wasn't too excited by it.
I will compliment you much more from now on.
You're doing a good job.
She's crying.
(She should compliment her daughter more!)
Please show us the result.
The last digit is 3.
Did they get over 100 votes? Yes.
(They got more than 100 votes!)
123?
133 votes.
(They got 133 votes)
