It looks like Yeongsook's friends are here too.
- Let's meet them. Hello. / - Her friends...
Her friends seem quite special too.
(Yeongsook and her friends)
How did you guys meet?
I went on a group blind date.
Everyone was feeling awkward since it was a blind date.
Then some girl showed up suddenly out of nowhere
and said, "Hello, everyone. I'm Yeongsook."
- She wasn't supposed to be there? / - Not at all.
She wasn't? Did she just show up, then?
Yeongsook showed up out of nowhere.
Then she started livening up the atmosphere.
- I thought it was odd, / - She was like an event host
but later found out the person who set it up sent her.
The one who arranged the blind date.
She went a little overboard,
which made all the guys on the blind date
bail on us.
All the girls there became friends, though.
We got so excited among ourselves
and ended up going clubbing that day.
(They partied it up.)
- You've been friends since then? / - Yes.
- We've been friends for 7 years now. / - Wow, 7 years?
- I love her personality. / - What about you?
I really want to know how she met Yeongsook.
- She piques my curiosity the most. / - She looks
like she could be Yeongsook.
- The name suits her face. / - People probably
- assumed so due to her outfit. / - Those who have
"Yeong" in their names tend to be full-figured.
I'm Gwanghoon's wife.
(She is Yeongsook's friend and Gwanghoon's wife.)
- She's his wife. / - I see, she's his wife.
Yeongsook and my wife met through work.
- We got married... / - Because of Yeongsook?
- Was she like a matchmaker? / - Yes, she was.
The two of them hang out often
and random guys end up joining them on many occasions.
Hence, I have no choice but to...
- You get anxious. / - Yes. I end up joining them, too.
That's why I keep spending time with Yeongsook.
I can understand why your husband gets anxious.
He shouldn't be worried
because we tend not to cross the line.
- We don't do anything bad... / - You tend not to?
- Do you cross the line sometimes? / - Exactly.
And it's not like we hang out with guys all the time.
We just like to hang out with people we randomly meet.
We don't meet guys often.
You must enjoy it.
That's what your outfit is telling me.
You must have a party to go to after this.
Your outfit is surely eye-catching.
You should just trust your wife.
She's saying you shouldn't worry. Just trust her.
When Yeongsook drinks, she becomes
at least ten times more hyper than usual.
She drinks with people whom she doesn't know
- and even goes for a second round. / - To drink more?
Yes, she'd drink more with them. And all of a sudden,
you'd see her sleeping on one of their laps.
- Gosh. / - Because she's drunk?
- Yes, she'd be drunk. / - Yeongsook does that?
It was a random guy she just met.
He looked at me, looking all flustered.
I've been thrown into such uncomfortable situations
many times because of her.
How do such situations get sorted out?
She creates those situations
and just leaves.
I'm usually the one who has to clean up the mess,
which can be very embarrassing and annoying.
It makes me want to swear at times.
How many days in a week does she drink?
About seven days.
(She drinks seven days a week.)
- She drinks every day. / - Every single day.
Yes, I think she drinks every day.
That's not alcohol, is it?
I wasn't going to drink yesterday
but I ended up drinking because of my friends.
I had to go to church today, so...
To pray after drinking last night?
Do you dance even at the church?
- I'm in the dance team. / - Pardon?
- I'm in the dance team. / - Come again?
She's a member of the dance team.
(She cannot hide her talent.)
As you know, the church is a sacred place.
I asked the pastor to tie my hips down.
(Please tie my hips down!)
She asked to have her hips tied down.
My gosh, did you dance with your hips to a hymn?
- I try to restrain the urge. / - She's trying.
Does it come out here and there?
- It comes out full on. / - Show us.
- I've got peace like a river / - I can dance to this.
(Her groove knows no bounds.)
Did you actually dance like that at your church?
Yes. So...
I try to keep myself in check.
Do other members of the church complain?
Yes, they complain a lot as it's a renowned church.
As her acquaintance, I'm very embarrassed right now.
(He has transcended everything.)
Why don't you date anyone?
- Pardon? / - Why are you single?
I always end up getting dumped.
- She gets dumped. / - My gosh.
Guys usually go missing in action.
(The reason is simple but sad.)
Once, I got so puzzled by it
and asked my close guy friend.
The guy clearly read my message
but he didn't reply. So I asked my friend about it
and he said, "He just doesn't like you."
So I was like, "Why can't he just say that?"
I asked my friend why he doesn't give me a closure.
He said, "He doesn't even want to bother."
So after learning my lesson,
I stopped calling him.
Why didn't you know? It's pretty obvious to me.
You could try setting her up with a nice guy.
She could focus on him
- and you guys can all become friends. / - Right.
I have thought about it
but I have to think from the guy's perspective too.
I can't help but hesitate setting her up with guys.
Even when she's with her boyfriend, she'd hang out
- with people at other tables. / - Guys hate that.
Can she not focus on her boyfriend?
That's not true. I'd brag about my boyfriend to people.
I'd be like, "This is my boyfriend. Isn't he handsome?"
(She probably shouldn't do that.)
- Will he like it? / - He'll be embarrassed.
Why do you always have to talk to strangers?
Please be honest. Isn't it your drunken habit?
Not at all. I do it when I'm sober.
- Seriously? / - I black out when I get drunk.
I'd just want to brag about my lovely boyfriend.
Gwanghoon is hesitant about setting you up with guys.
I can be a great girlfriend.
I'm a good cook and I can be very caring.
I don't really know why he's hesitant.
How do you not know?
If that's the case, I'm wondering
if you can try to tame the urge to talk to strangers.
I actually have a friend who hates it.
She absolutely hates it when I talk to strangers,
so I'm tight-lipped when I'm with her.
- To be considerate of your friend? / - Yes.
That's why I hold myself back. I feel so bad, though.
I feel apologetic as I don't get to greet everyone.
Even when I take a taxi,
I feel sad if I don't get to share my energy.
- With fellow Koreans. / - That's how you feel.
Yes, I feel so sorry.
When I get off, I always say, "This was Yeongsook."
- "This was Yeongsook." / - Alternately...
(She has to introduce herself to everyone she sees.)
It's great that you want to share your energy,
but there must be times when you want to be comforted.
What do you do in such times of stress?
To tell you the truth, I don't get stressed out easily.
I just don't want to waste my precious time.
I want to go out and help others,
- spread love and share my energy. / - Spread energy.
I love it. Only those who have felt it would know.
When I console people's hearts
and offer them advice, they break into tears...
and say, "Yeongsook, I'm so happy to have met you."
Hearing that gives me indescribable joy.
In other words, you love being around people.
- It makes me happy. / - You must dislike being alone.
To be honest, I'm rarely alone.
My only alone time is the two hours of sleep I get.
- I'm too busy meeting people. / - You're so busy.
- Do you only get two hours of sleep a day? / - Yes.
- Don't you get tired? / - It's actually three hours.
Have you ever fainted from fatigue
or gone to the emergency room?
- You get so little sleep. / - Exactly.
I actually went to the emergency room recently.
- Why? What happened? / - I had been busy
giving my energy to my friends since that morning.
All of a sudden, my field of vision narrowed down
and I felt like I saw some stuff passing by.
Then I couldn't breathe.
So what did you do? Did you go to a hospital?
I went into the emergency room but nothing was wrong.
Like you just said, continuous sleep deprivation
can cause sudden difficulty in breathing.
It's called dysautonomia.
You can feel dizzy and nauseous too.
Did you have shortness of breath?
You were probably panting without being aware of it.
You should sleep more since it already happened to you.
- Esther is sincerely concerned. / - Yes, I am.
Right. She seems very energetic
and people around her love her so much
but there's a side that is concerning us.
That's why we're saying this. Let me ask the wife.
Since you two are very close,
I'm sure you get worried about Yeongsook.
Once, we were walking together
and saw a bunch of big, scary-looking guys.
They were talking loudly using abusive language.
Yeongsook went up to them all of a sudden and said,
"Why are you guys being so loud? What are your names?"
They talked it through, so it got sorted out
but I do get anxious and worried in such situations.
How do you muster up courage to be that gutsy?
- They had kind eyes. / - Pardon?
She said they had kind eyes.
I still keep in touch with one of them.
We met four years ago at Gangnam Station.
I'm grateful that nothing bad has happened to me yet.
What will you do if you run into someone who's evil?
I think she's very warm-hearted and considerate.
Your two closest friends are worried about you, though.
How do you feel about trying to listen to them more?
- Right. / - That hurts my feelings the most.
My friends tell me to think about how they feel
but I want them to try to be more understanding.
I make people smile and laugh
and there are some who feel happy because of me.
I hope my friends can be more understanding
and take that into consideration.
It is impressive. She approaches people first.
It's almost like what the enlightened used to do.
She doesn't hesitate to approach others first.
- She does give off an enlightened vibe. / - Exactly.
We're even talking about how enlightened you seem.
We want good people like you to live long lives.
If you continue to meet 30 people a day,
you'll ruin your health. Cut it down to 25 a day now,
then to 20 people a day 2 years from now.
- That way... / - Esther, this is a variety show.
Gosh, you make everyone feel bored.
Okay.
- You two will have another fight. / - Probably.
- "How can you talk to me like that?" / - All right.
To be able to continue
giving advice to those who really need your help,
- you should take care of your health. / - Yes.
Esther is right. Please say a few words to Yeongsook.
I admire how joyful and cheerful you are
but it'd be great if you can try to be less hyper
and nosy so that you can focus more on yourself.
That's what I want from Yeongsook.
- All right. Thank you. / - He's a good friend.
Okay. We had two guests for today's show.
Do you not think it's a worry?
No. There's a condition called hypomania,
which is a mild case of mania.
- Is that what she has? / - Hypomania isn't
really an illness, so please don't get the wrong idea.
It's actually the most ideal type of personality.
- Really? / - Yes. It's because
those who are hypomanic are always happy.
- They're pleasant. / - They must be optimistic too.
Yes. All psychiatrists say that mania must be treated
- but when it comes to hypomania, / - It's good.
they highly praise it. I can certainly tolerate this.
- Esther thinks it's a worry. / - We think differently.
- What? / - She chose O.
- I was going to press X, / - What happened?
but as I mentioned earlier, she might have
a hard time later in life if she doesn't set a goal.
- She might feel that way. / - It may feel futile.
- Yes, that's what I think. / - She is hypomanic.
With a little bit of counseling, she can have
the most ideal type of personality anyone would want.
She has a lot of potential.
Stop saying that she needs to get it treated.
I'm just trying to help her out here.
- A professional... / - Why do you two keep fighting?
- We're just... / - I'm saying that
you shouldn't worry. With a little bit of help...
There are times that you two agree, right?
- Of course. / - Yes, certainly.
(I'll just figure it out myself.)
Press the button if you empathize with this worry.
(What does the audience think?)
- In five, four, / - In five, four.
- three, two, one. / - three, two, one.
- Stop. / - Time is up.
Don't you think that saying hi first is a good thing?
- Yes, it's great. / - Saying hello first is awesome.
Koreans remain on their guard and get awkward
- when strangers say hello to them. / - That's right.
We should be open like Yeongsook and say hello back.
- A little smile goes a long way. / - Definitely.
Yeongsook, please say a few words to your friends.
Thanks so much for worrying about me.
I'm realizing how much you guys love me.
I'll be sure to give back the love, so please
trust me and be patient with me.
Let's be happy together for the rest of our lives.
I love you all.
- Yeongsook, / - "This was Yeongsook."
say hello to everyone who's watching this now.
Hello, everyone. I'm Yeongsook.
How do you do?
I'm not a bad person. My name is Yeongsook.
I'll continue to say hello to you, my fellow Koreans.
Let's be happy together.
- Thank you. / - Great.
All right. Please show us the result.
"Hello, I'm Yeongsook".
The last digit.
Nice. The lucky number, seven.
- Will it get more than 100 votes? / - 77?
- It got 67 votes. / - 67 votes in total.
(The story got 67 votes.)
- Thank you for joining us. / - Thank you.
That makes "Daughter, Please Stop" today's winner.
The winner will receive a prize. Congratulations.
