This one is called, "I Want Him to Drink Water."
Hello, I'm a 30-year-old guy who's really worried
about my childhood friend.
"Man, it's hot. Aren't you thirsty?
Drink some water."
"No way, man!"
"You're choking on something. Drink some water."
"I said no!"
My friend never, ever drinks water.
He hasn't drank water in 20 years.
(Yikes...)
Time for my medicine.
Waiter, can I get some cola?"
"What? You're taking medicine with cola?
That stuff is going to end up killing you, man."
"I don't care if it does! I'm not drinking water!"
Does he really want to die? He never drinks water.
And then...
"I feel like I'm going to die."
"What? Where are you?"
I'm in the hospital. I got a kidney stone
because I never drink water."
But he still hasn't learned his lesson.
As soon as he was discharged... "I'm thirsty.
Let's get some beers tonight. Sound good?"
He's going to end up dying.
Someone please make my friend
drink some water.
Let's bring in the friend that wrote to us.
Come on out!
(Who is worried about his water-hating friend?)
(Jang Yongju)
(Welcome)
You said your friend hasn't had water in 20 years.
He really doesn't drink water?
We've been friends since high school.
And I've never seen him drink water.
Is there a reason why he doesn't drink water?
I was curious, so I asked.
He vomited from drinking water when he was 9.
That's why?
I guess that traumatized him or something.
But sometimes you have to drink water.
We went out to eat once.
We didn't have enough for beverages.
So he could've drank some water, but instead
he waited until he got home to drink a beverage.
What does he drink when he eats?
Soda, lemon soda, cola...
Oh, carbonated beverages.
He doesn't even drink water when he takes pills.
He takes them with other drinks.
They have a lot of different kinds of teas now.
With all sorts of healthy stuff in them.
I suggest stuff like that a lot, but he never listens.
Yewon asked you the question.
You should look at her when you respond.
- Are you just shy? / - Yes...
How insulting. Why are you looking right at me?
(I'll try to be more careful)
Is that okay for his health? Not drinking water?
His face and lips are all dark.
He never drinks water, so he was taken to
the emergency room twice for kidney stones.
Kidney stones really hurt.
It hurts him like crazy, and yet...
Even the doctor told him to drink water.
But even the kidney stones didn't change his mind.
I told him that he'd die early.
I told him that he could die. Then he said...
"Might as well go early."
(I'm worried something terrible will happen...)
The first two concerns were so...
They were so serious.
How is not drinking water a big deal?
How is this a big concern?
He's just a friend, darn it.
You two are just friends.
You two are young. Is it really that big a concern?
This is what I think.
He's living alone right now and we've been
friends since high school. He's like family.
You described his face. Dark...
I think I know who it is already.
Hello.
Hello.
(I'd rather die than drink water!)
Are you two the same age?
You're the same age, right?
Your friend is concerned that you don't drink water.
Do you understand why he's concerned?
Not really...
You never drink water? Just like what he said?
Not since I was 9 years old.
I haven't drank water in 20 years.
(How are you still alive?)
I drank groundwater in the countryside once.
And it tasted really fishy.
It made me throw up once.
That really traumatized me, so I don't drink water.
What about tea? Like burdock tea.
My parents suggested different kinds of tea...
Some made with dried fruit...
Right, stuff like that.
I tried to drink more water that way...
But it's such a hassle.
And it tastes bad.
(You don't drink water for the taste)
A coworker of mine bought me 500ml bottles
of corn silk tea every morning.
He told me if I didn't finish it by the end of the day,
he wouldn't let me leave work.
But I couldn't finish them, so I threw them out.
That's so peculiar.
Why do I feel so thirsty talking about this?
We keep talking about water...
Not being able to drink water...
I'm curious about this. There's a water bottle there.
Can you just take a small sip?
Could you do that for us?
That isn't groundwater. Try it.
Geez...
That's what we do when we don't want something.
He just opened that bottle now.
He's smelling the water.
He just opened that bottle now.
- He's smelling the water. / - The smell...
(It doesn't smell like anything...)
He's pouring it in the cap.
Just pour a little in the cap.
Yeah...
(He doesn't want to, but will he drink it?)
(The water is going in)
(He's drinking it)
(Come on...)
Down the hatch.
(Tasting the water)
No good?
(I can't drink this...)
Even that water is smelly and weird?
It smells like a reservoir.
- A reservoir? / - It smells like a reservoir?
So it smells like fresh water.
(Does it smell?)
(No)
What do you do when you're thirsty?
I drink other beverages.
Beverages?
You can't always drink other things.
What about in the army?
Yeah! The army.
They sell this powder at the PX.
They have powdered drink mixes.
Oh, the kind you add to water?
So you mixed that into your water?
Do you not use the bathroom much?
Aside from defecating...
I urinate around once a day.
You urinate once a day?
(Just what kind of life does he live?)
I do defecate a lot.
Don't you get constipated?
Not enough water leads to constipation.
Doesn't it come out when you defecate?
This is way too much information.
(LOL)
Ever seen anyone that doesn't drink water?
No, this is my first time.
All crops and livestock need water.
Goats drink water too.
Yes, I've seen a goat get a kidney stone.
- It really suffered. / - Really?
Wasn't it hard for you?
(That was so natural)
If you've never had it, you wouldn't know.
It really hurts.
I got my first kidney stone 6 years ago.
The doctor told me that I'd get one again
if I didn't drink water.
And I got my second kidney stone
two months ago.
I keep vomiting and I can't get up.
If you get a kidney stone...
You could feel pain in your back or all over.
You get on an apparatus that pounds this area.
They break into little pieces
and come out through your urine.
But that level of pain
is almost as bad as giving birth, they say.
If I ever developed a kidney stone,
I'd drink a lot of water afterwards.
I tried that for around a week.
But I just couldn't keep it up.
You'd rather be in pain than drink water.
How about drinking it with your nose plugged?
(Hates the thought)
- You can't do that? / - No.
How about ice?
Ice? I've tried eating ice.
I think it tastes even worse.
Really?
I thought it dulls the taste.
When you see others drink water,
do you ever wish you could be like them?
Gosh, it's so smelly. How do they drink it?
(Watch! This is how you drink water!)
(Drink it like this)
(Unfazed)
(Your plan didn't work)
Do you rinse your mouth with water after brushing?
Yes, I rinse with water, but afterwards
I have to spit a lot.
Because of the water left in my mouth...
Taewoong was curious about that.
That was a very good question.
(Hehe)
If you don't drink enough water
your body starts sending you signals.
These are the symptoms from lack of water.
Viewers, see if this applies to you as well.
You get headaches regularly. Yes or no?
No.
- No headaches? / - No.
Okay, so no headaches.
Not enough water gives you headaches.
I guess that's why he isn't worried.
If he would've said yes...
If you don't drink enough water, your brain fluids
have to protect your brain, so you get headaches.
But I guess this doesn't apply to you yet.
Second...
You get hungry again soon after eating.
Yes.
(Me too)
You get hungry again soon after eating.
That's something wrong with your stomach.
I guess I have a different illness.
We believe that we need more food,
but that's actually a signal from your body
saying that you need water.
Do you get constipated?
Yes.
Does your body feel heavy and lifeless?
Yes.
Do you feel dizzy when you stand up after sitting?
Yes.
- You feel dizzy at times? / - Yes.
95% of your blood is made up of water.
And lack of blood can cause anemia.
So that causes dizziness.
If at least 3 of these apply to you,
your body is sending your signals.
So you really need to drink water.
What do you think about that?
Do you think you should drink more water?
I tried, but...
(Frustrated)
It's not really working...
Just what does he smell from the water?
He cut off water after one traumatic experience...
This happened to me once. I drank that peach
soft drink once as a student and got indigestion.
I haven't touched that beverage since then.
But it's so peculiar that it's water.
Water is so important.
The other friend up there. Are you worried too?
Yes, I'm very worried. I suggested exercising
together to get him to drink water.
I suggested playing soccer and going hiking.
He flat-out refused to exercise.
(He's not even trying)
Your skin looks very nice.
So vibrant...
- You must drink a lot of water. / - I do.
(Oh...)
(Embarrassed)
Show your friend the big difference.
You two look so different.
(Dark, vibrant)
He has such nice skin.
Do you drink a lot of water?
(Glances over)
(Instinctual envy)
I drink around 2 liters a day.
They say to drink 1.5 to 2 liters a day.
That's why your skin is so nice.
- And you don't get constipated. / - Right.
And your body doesn't feel heavy.
No, I'm heavy. I gained weight.
It's from gaining weight.
The second time he got a kidney stone...
I took him to the emergency room the first time.
We were drinking and he was
in so much pain that he couldn't lift his glass.
It really hurts.
He even has a stomach ulcer.
He was in pain, so I took him to the emergency room.
The doctor told him he had to drink water,
but he said, "I'll just drink beer."
(This isn't serious to him at all)
He does drink a lot of alcohol.
I think he drinks it in place of water.
Alcohol instead of water?
Alcohol dehydrates you.
So you have to drink even more water.
He doesn't drink water, which is bad enough,
but he drinks a lot of alcohol too.
Did you know that he drinks a lot of alcohol?
We drink together at least 2 or 3 times a week.
But on other days he drinks with other friends.
When I call him, he's out drinking.
I think he drinks 2 to 3 bottles of soju a day.
2 to 3 bottles a day?
He always says yes if you ask if he wants to drink.
He has a nickname. We call him 5 minutes.
Because he always shows up? He never says no.
Right.
You don't drink water,
but you can drink alcohol just fine.
Water is smelly.
But alcohol tastes good.
Is it sweet?
Your friend said you have a stomach ulcer.
Then you shouldn't be drinking so much.
I feel fine after taking medicine.
- So you drink again? / - Yes.
You drink after taking medicine?
What do you take your medicine with?
I really like this one vitamin drink.
Or I take it with a carbonated beverage.
Did you ever get checked out?
I've had 4 to 5 endoscopies in the last 2 years.
Endoscopies?
I went to the hospital last month for my stomach.
I've gotten so many endoscopies
that they just prescribed medicine for me.
Maybe you should cut down on drinking too.
But alcohol tastes so good.
He's still drinking a lot without drinking water.
I don't think he realizes how serious this is.
What are you most worried about?
He drinks so much...
He wasn't always so fat... Oops...
Fat... Oops...
He didn't used to weigh that much.
So he didn't weigh as much.
Right, but he gained around 30kg.
Wow, that's a lot.
He gained 30kg.
Let's see a photo before he gained weight.
(LOL)
It's a different person!
(He looks so slim)
It's a different person!
Isn't that you next to him?
Yes.
Who is the guy with the hair? Is it that guy?
That hairstyle... Wow...
You were in great shape!
But you didn't drink water back then either.
Right.
So the alcohol made you gain weight.
You drink even though it's painful for you.
Is there a reason why you drink so much?
Aside from the fact that it tastes good.
I have trouble saying no.
Whenever my friends call,
I always go out to meet them.
Why can't you say no? You're in pain.
I don't want us to grow apart.
(They're not real friends if they grow apart from that)
He lost confidence after gaining weight.
He thinks of other people...
He's always cautious.
He's worried how people will react
to what he does.
(Please be more confident)
Not drinking water can not only cause obesity,
it can cause short-term memory loss, bladder cancer,
colorectal cancer or even orthostatic hypotension.
We prepared something that's good for you.
Please step up on stage and try these.
An expert recommended some things
you can drink in place of water.
That's lemon water that's rich in vitamin C.
It's very good for your skin.
Just drink it. We're not trying to scam you.
Stop smelling the water.
Just drink it without thinking.
(You can do this, buddy!)
(Excited)
(Small sip)
It's good for you.
Just swallow it now.
(Disgusted)
Here.
(He ends up spitting it out...)
(That's really serious)
- This is... / - Burdock tea.
It's great for dieting and it's really healthy.
(Takes a sip)
Don't hold it in your mouth.
Just swallow it.
(Instant reaction)
- It's burdock tea. / - It's burdock tea.
This burdock tea is different
from the one my mom makes.
(Sheesh)
We're really excited about this last one.
It's rich in minerals. It's great for dieting.
Just take a sip.
Take a small sip.
(Sip)
This one should taste good.
What? What? What?
What? What? What is it? What is it?
(What's wrong?)
I think that was mineral water.
The last one tasted like mineral water?
You're right.
(We hoped this would change his opinion on water)
You can tell just by tasting it?
Yes. I can't drink that stuff.
Which of the three do you prefer?
The burdock tea.
Take another sip.
For your own health.
Don't keep it in your mouth. Just swallow it.
Like it's beer.
Chug it down. Swallow. Swallow.
Just swallow there.
Don't keep it in your mouth. Swallow.
(Just once!)
Swallow.
Yes, that's it. There you go.
He swallowed it.
Congratulations. He drank water!
Congratulations!
Could you try sticking with burdock tea?
You need this for your health.
Yes, I think I can do that.
Yes, please drink plenty of burdock tea.
Here's something funny I noticed.
You haven't thrown up from water
since you were 9, right?
Yes.
You're just worried that you might vomit, right?
Keep thinking that it never made you vomit again
and try to drink more and more.
He likes drinking alcohol.
If you're so worried that you came on this show,
don't drink with him.
Make a deal that you'll only drink with him
if he drinks water after every shot of alcohol.
If you want to drink with us,
you have to drink 1 liter of water."
I think we should try doing that now.
Or else just walk away.
Any last words for your friend?
We're not young anymore, my friend.
I'd like to see you drink water and get healthy.
Get your confidence back and learn how to say no.
I've been doing this show for 8 to 9 years and...
"Please drink some water, my friend."
What a peculiar concern.
Yongju.
Thank you so much for worrying about me.
Let's cut down on the drinking
and I'll try to drink more water from now on.
So let's keep being good friends.
Thanks, buddy.
(They're so loyal!)
- Staring with Taewoong. / - Is this a concern?
I think it's a concern.
A cultivator runs on diesel.
Gasoline will make the machine break down.
That's right.
People need water, not beverages.
(Wise words from the 17-year-old farmer)
(Impressive)
People need water
so that their bodies won't break down.
You keep remembering that traumatic experience.
If you want to forget that,
you have to be determined.
I believe that you can if you make an effort.
So it's not a concern.
I say it's a concern.
I don't think it's a concern.
I remember you saying you lost your confidence.
You don't have to feel that way at all.
I'd like you to live a fun and healthy lifestyle.
I say it's a concern.
