Hello Counselor (Hello / 안녕하세요 / Annyeonghaseyo)

We will counsel you on your unspeakable concerns.

National Competition on Worries! - National Competition on Worries!

Let me introduce you to our today's guests.

Announcer Kim Il Jung and Announcer Kim Hwan.

Hello. It's nice to see you. - Hello.

All right. - Hello. We are announcers.

What was that?

I didn't even know what I should do.

You should've done it with me. - I see.

Yebin and Somyi of DIA.

They're so pretty.

Kenta of JBJ95 is back.

Il Jung used to be...

Hwan's senior announcer at SBS. - I know.

You must be filled with emotion.

For me, I became a freelancer before he did.

And I appeared on Hello twice before.

That's right. - You came on the show twice?

I feel a heavy responsibility.

Please give me a round of cheerful applause!

Gosh. What was that?

"Please give me a round of applause!"

Il Jung became a freelance announcer before you did,

but he advised you not to become a freelance announcer.

He just said I shouldn't.

"Don't do it." - "I don't think you can do it."

"Don't become a freelancer"? - That's right.

Jun Hyun Moo, who used to work at another TV station,

said, "Hwan, leave the TV station. You can do well..."

"as a freelance announcer."

But Il Jung never said I would do well.

I had to look out for myself.

If there were one more freelancer,

That's cruel reality. - it'd threaten my job.

He's very honest.

However, you all heard the good news...

that's even better than becoming a freelancer, right?

His daughter was born recently.

Yes. Thank you.

Look at the photo.

She's pretty. - She's so pretty.

His wife is beautiful too. - She's adorable.

His wife is gorgeous.

Fortunately, she takes after my wife, so she's pretty.

Since I adore my daughter so much,

I do a lot of house chores now.

I even make baby food for her.

That's nice.

My nickname...

is Dangsan-dong Poop Expert.

Poop Expert?

I check my baby's poop...

and find out she can't digest carrot.

You check her health condition. - I make sure...

I check everything.

Meanwhile, DIA's new song...

was ranked top on a music chart. - Really?

Oh, I see. - Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Yebin, do you have any worries?

Since many people say that all my group members are boring,

I'm worried about how funny my impersonation can be.

I can imitate the doorbell sound of a rich house.

Doorbell sound of a rich house? - Is it different?

It's short, but intense.

That's the doorbell sound of an old fancy house.

While we're all laughing, he must be very nervous.

This is his first appearance on a variety show on a public network.

Really?

Yes, this is my first time. - He's so popular.

Did you prepare to show us anything?

You saw how she made a weird sound.

Show us something.

I will imitate a crow.

A crow? I see. - Yes, a crow.

Give me a second. It's a crow.

That sounds just the same as the doorbell sound.

You all know that he's a great dancer, right?

Please show us a little bit. - Okay.

We have three stories as always.

Show us the keywords, please.

"Looking for My Real Mom".

"His..." - "His Addiction".

"Give Me Freedom!"

I will read the first letter.

Hello. I'm a 20-year-old girl, whose heart has been frozen...

due to a cold wave when winter hasn't even come.

"Mom, I'm home. I'm so hungry. Mom, give me something to eat."

"What time is it now?"

"Well... It's 6:03pm."

"Don't you remember what I said about the meals after 6pm?"

"I said you wouldn't get any food after 6pm, right? Skip your dinner."

My goodness. She's only three minutes late.

My mom is so cold and heartless towards me.

That's not all.

"Mom, I need money for transportation fee."

"Can you... Can you give me just one dollar?"

"Why should I?"

Really?

"You're the one who needs it. You should take care of it."

"Mom, I was told at school..."

"that I should pay for the student union fee."

"You're the one who goes to school."

"You should come up with the money that you'll use by yourself."

This is all because of the rules my mom set up.

My curfew is midnight.

When I broke my curfew, my mom said,

"If you weren't my daughter, I would've cut ties with you."

"Do you hear me? Don't even speak to me from today."

Why does she act like that? - She treated me...

as if I was invisible for three months.

Could I have been adopted?

Please help me.

When my mom is the most cold-hearted...

My mom used to run a wholesale fish business.

She charged her customers extra one dollar for good quality fish.

But she charged me extra two dollars...

when the fish wasn't even that fresh.

She did it to her own daughter? - Yes.

I said she was so mean.

She said, "I forgot that you're my daughter."

She drew a line between public and private matters.

I wonder why her mom acts like that. Let's meet her. Please come out.

Kenta, please escort her.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Just as you wrote in your letter,

do you even think that you might have been adopted?

My mom is the most powerful member of my family.

Among your family members? - Yes.

She's the captain. - That's right.

There's a set of rules made by my mom.

Whenever I break those rules, she becomes cold towards me.

What are the rules?

When I was a child, she didn't give me dinner...

if I went home later than 6pm.

6pm? - Exactly how old were you?

I was in elementary school. - I see.

She needed to eat to grow up. - Exactly.

My curfew is midnight.

But it takes four hours to go to school and come back.

My school is very far from my house.

I was once 20 minutes late,

and my mom didn't speak to me for three months.

My mom didn't speak to me for three months.

That's a long time. - Yes.

Because you went home at 12:20am? - Yes.

It looks like your mother doesn't financially support you either.

I've never received an allowance since 10th grade.

What? - So I had to...

work six days a week.

I worked part time at a supermarket and a barbecue restaurant.

I thought she would support me financially when I went to college.

But she still doesn't support me financially at all.

In fact, I started to work part time when I was in high school...

and lived off what I earned.

I have a sister who is two years older than me.

My mom financially supported my sister in high school...

and college. - She supported your sister?

But I work two shifts on weekends...

at a convenience store. - Where? A convenience store?

2 shifts at a convenience store. - 2 shifts at a convenience store?

I go to work by 9am.

I work until 11pm. - She works really hard.

What do you do when you're short of money?

There's nothing I can do. For example,

when my friends ask me to go for lunch with them,

I say I'm not feeling well... - My goodness.

or I'm too busy. I just leave.

And then you drink water from the faucet in the schoolyard.

Kids did that when I was young.

That's right. - But that was in 1980s.

You couldn't say anything because it hurt your pride.

I just skip my meals.

I use a post-pay transit card.

I couldn't pay it, so my card was declined.

Since I couldn't go to school, I called my friends...

to borrow some money for charging a transportation card.

How about you borrow money from your mom?

Tell her you'll pay back later.

That's a good idea.

When I ask her for an allowance,

she sends me some money and tells me to repay her.

She texts me constantly to make me pay back.

What does she say?

"You owe me this much for student union fee..."

"and for the training. Manage your money well and pay me back."

"Pay me back"? - "Pay me back"?

She sounds like a creditor.

"Standard interest..." - She's like a loan shark.
