"A Heavy Concern."
Hello.
I'm a housewife in my 40s
with a 19-year-old son.
They say it's joyful to watch your kids eat.
But I get so frustrated when I watch my son eat.
For breakfast, my son eats ice cream,
a bowl of rice, a pot of soup, 8 eggs,
a can of ham and
2 cans of tuna.
- Just for breakfast. / - In one sitting?
He must be an athlete.
I'm impressed.
At school, he eats lunch, bread and has drinks.
He eats a lot.
One day, "Where did the spicy mixed noodles go?
There were 3 packets here."
(Slurp slurp)
"I finished them all."
He gobbles up everything in sight.
That's why he is 5'9" tall and
weighs over 220 lbs.
"Son. You're going to be sick.
No dinner for you for several days."
"Mom! I'm hungry. I'm hungry."
He whined so much that
he had to eat a box of chocolate pies to be quiet.
- A box? / - He ate the whole box?
I am so worried about my son.
Please help my son.
He must eat a whole box to be able to sleep.
Unbelievable.
I'm from another city
and I didn't earn much money when I started out.
When a friend offered to buy me beef...
Then he would be considered God.
Buy me some food!
(Guilty)
I ate 7 servings of beef that day.
- Beef? / - Yes.
I know somebody
who eats pork cutlets 365 days a year.
Every day?
He had a girlfriend. They ate that for a year.
They only ate pork cutlets for a year?
So they broke up
while eating pork cutlets.
- While eating pork cutlets? / - Yes.
Please come on out.
(Who's concerned about her obese son?)
(Choi Hyeonhui)
You look like you'd be a great cook.
Your face says, "It's so yummy."
(They do look alike)
You're a good cook, right?
Yes, I am.
(She's so cute)
How much does your son weigh?
He is 5'9" and I'm embarrassed to say it,
but he weighs 240 lbs.
He's been chubby since grade school.
I didn't want him to get fat,
so I took him to Taekwondo, kendo and
hapkido classes, so he wasn't fat.
But in middle school, he had to study,
so he quit all those sports.
Then puberty came and his appetite increased.
He started to gain weight day by day.
He couldn't fit into school uniforms.
He was supposed to start school in a few days,
so I was perplexed.
I heard about a tailor who tailors uniforms,
so that's how he got his school uniform.
I read what he eats for breakfast earlier.
Does he really eat that much?
He eats rice out of a big bowl.
His favorite stews are
sausage stew and spicy chicken stew.
I make some in a 28cm wok.
What?
A wok with a 28cm diameter.
A wok, which is a deeper version of a pan.
- And then? / - And...
- Hold on, please. / - Okay.
Then I make him an omelette.
An omelette with 7-8 eggs.
He also mixes tuna with mayo.
- Tuna with mayo. / - I put it down.
Tuna with mayo!
He then eats ice cream
and goes to school.
- He's very diligent. / - It's a morning ritual.
He gets up early to eat all that?
Then he eats lunch at school.
He could eat less, since he already ate a lot.
But he eats
his friends' leftovers, too.
How much would
his breakfast cost?
I think 50% of our expenses are food.
- It's that much? / - Yes.
What concerns me the most is he's too greedy.
When we go out to eat meat,
he eats everything in front of him.
Since he's our son,
my husband and I just eat rice and soup.
It's that bad?
Or cold noodles.
He doesn't do that with relatives around, right?
That's not true.
- Oh gee. / - People would stare at him.
I know!
He should be a bit self-conscious.
One time, we went to a sashimi place
and ordered 2 plates of sashimi.
He started to gobble down the food in front of him.
That wasn't all.
He came over to us and finished our food, too.
My brother said,
"Minu, you eat way too much."
He isn't a picky eater?
He is picky.
- He doesn't like vegetables? / - He doesn't.
(Oh no!)
Mixed spicy noodles are served with
bean sprouts, cabbage,
carrot and cucumber.
He takes them all out.
(How do I fix his bad eating habits?)
Let's meet her son now.
Hello.
- Hello. / - Hello.
(Who is the son that eats too much?)
I feel like he came out of a comic book.
Please stand up and say hello to us.
Say hello. Stand up straight!
Hello.
To the ones in the back, too.
To the ones in the back, too.
Hello.
How cute.
- He's cute. / - He's cute.
I feel like he came out of a comic book.
(Embarrassed)
He seems to be very cheerful.
He seems nice and outgoing.
Why are you putting your head down?
I don't know how he'll look on camera.
This is how he looks.
(Ta-da)
(Shake shake)
(He's just a happy boy)
How cute.
(He has no concerns)
Do you understand your mom's concerns?
I never thought I eat too much.
Really?
I think you do eat a lot.
You eat a bowl of rice and a pot of soup.
Is that just once? Or all week long?
Many, many, many times.
Not just many, but many, many times.
(Oh my)
We have pictures of what he usually eats.
- There's chicken, too. / - Fried chicken.
- That looks good. / - 8 pieces of fried chicken.
8 drumsticks.
(His appetite is increasing)
He eats all of that?
How many are there?
- He eats all of them? / - How many?
He eats all of them? No way.
10 rolls of kimbap.
He doesn't like sliced kimbap.
- Like this. / - He holds one up like this?
That's why I didn't slice them.
He eats all of them?
(All these are for her son)
(That's easy as pie)
(That looks good!)
Those vegetable pancakes look good.
Ma'am!
You're such a good cook that he can't help it.
You cook so well.
He eats all that meat in one sitting?
Yes, for one meal.
(That's enough for several days)
(Every side dish is a main dish)
In one meal?
The important thing is that
he doesn't eat those quail eggs.
- Just the meat? / - Just the meat.
(She's a great cook)
You eat without being considerate of others.
If you do that,
people won't want to hang out with you.
I guess I lose my mind when I eat.
I don't know.
- He doesn't know. / - He tries to be considerate?
Now I go to all-you-can-eat places.
How much can you eat?
Brag about it to us.
Wow, bragging!
Bragging! Wow!
I eat 5-6 servings of meat at a buffet place.
Then I eat cold noodles.
I order a double-size noodles
and add an extra serving of noodles.
It's good.
Double-size with extra noodles.
Double-size with extra noodles.
(Perfect teamwork)
(It's not the time to mess around)
Since when did you start gaining weight?
I did many sports in grade school.
Then I quit.
There's a convenience store by my middle school.
They had a buy 1, get one 1 event for coke.
I drank 2 bottles every morning
and that's when I started to gain weight.
She brought pictures of what he looked like
before he entered middle school.
How cute.
(It's good to eat as a whole!)
How cute.
He didn't wear black clothes back then.
Was he in kindergarten then?
(Grade school graduation picture)
- Here... / - That's his elementary school graduation.
He has a big belly.
If you look at your baby pictures,
don't you want to lose weight?
Not right now.
(What will change your mind?)
Have you ever tried to get him to lose weight?
There's an elementary school near our house.
I suggested we run around the field for an hour.
He did it for 2 days.
Then on the third day, he wouldn't wake up
and started to whine.
I heard that boxing is good for losing weight.
That's right.
He complained of the sweat smell in the gym.
It's from people working out.
So he quit after a few days.
As you can see, he won't eat
unless I give him frozen food or chicken.
Bibimbap is good, right?
I made it, but he wouldn't eat it.
I'm worried because I can't make him starve.
You have a weak spot for him.
I don't want to eat yucky food.
If kimchi tastes good, I'll eat it.
But I won't if it doesn't taste good.
I don't really like ramen.
If it gets overcooked, I won't eat it.
You seem to be quite picky.
Couldn't you cook for yourself then?
But my mom is such a good cook.
Can you make smaller portions then?
Smaller portions.
But I should cook enough to make him full.
Ma'am...
You're the one making him this way.
You do everything he wants and you worry.
That's the problem.
On a program called "My Child has Changed,"
there was a kid who was a picky eater.
The solution was to serve food and
take it away if he doesn't eat it.
He asked for something else, but
he wasn't allowed to eat anything else.
After two days, he started to eat kimchi, too.
I tried that, but he just won't eat!
For how long?
I didn't do it for several days,
but I got worried that he wasn't eating.
It's not easy, but you should try harder.
His father is here with us, too.
Are you worried about your son?
Of course.
He can't tie his own shoelaces.
He can't reach his feet.
We did try feeding him vegetables.
He threw up right after he ate it.
I felt bad when I watched him throw up.
Couldn't you be more strict with him?
We got pregnant 5 years after we got married.
When he turned one, he had an illness where
his pelvic bone was rotting.
That could've caused unbalanced growth.
So the doctors cut out a piece of his bone.
(That's why they pity their son)
That's why we give him whatever he wants.
Now I understand why you're like this.
But I'm most concerned about his health.
He gets physical checkups.
He's always diagnosed to be obese.
Since he eats so much greasy food
that he has irritable bowel syndrome.
He's taking medicine for that.
Since he's so fat, he falls down a lot.
He does?
At first, I would take him to the doctor's office.
Now he doesn't want to go.
You know that you need to eat less
and work out more, right?
Hmm...
To be honest,
do you ever regret it?
I never regret what I eat.
I don't think about the future.
When you fall down, don't you think
that it's because you weigh too much?
Not once.
Think about it now.
You should.
(He doesn't know how serious this is)
He must realize the problem himself
and be willing to change his habits.
But you do everything. He can't tie his shoes.
Do you tie his shoes for him? He's 19.
Yes, I do because he can't do it himself.
That's bad.
I am fat now,
but I was much bigger when I was young.
My mom wouldn't give me food
and would hide it from me.
So I ate behind her back.
I understand how fat people feel.
I'm afraid that he'll be teased by classmates
and lose self-esteem. So I can't scold him.
I feel bad for him.
I understand.
How do you get along with your friends?
I was teased a lot in grade school.
In middle school, when we got milk at school,
they'd say, "Drink another one."
They loved to see me drink,
so I ended up drinking 7 cartons.
Then I threw up.
Did you ever eat even though you didn't want to?
Just to please your friends?
I do it because it makes me feel good, too.
So eating has that meaning to you too.
We have a friend here with us.
Does anyone tease him for being fat?
There was a fast-eating contest at school.
He drank 40 bottles of a yogurt drink
and 1.25 liters of Sprite in one sitting.
He threw up, but he won first place.
- Even though he threw up? / - Yes.
The classmates all cheered and were mesmerized,
so he gained confidence. He was good at something.
Do his classmates cheer for him because
he's good or is it to tease him?
I think it's half and half.
We have a special guest here today.
- Hello. / - Long time no see.
(Aired on Nov. 5, 2018 / He drink 1 liter of water)
He was in a hurry.
He drinks a lot at once.
He's not stopping?
(Does he drink less now?)
Are you drinking less water and coffee?
I threw away that big water bottle.
Good.
I'm trying to drink less coffee, too.
You must pay attention, son.
Let me tell you about this guest.
Please show us the picture.
- That's him. / - That's him.
(Wow)
That person turned into him right here.
I used to weigh 330 lbs.
I now weigh 183 lbs.
He lost about 147 lbs.
Right.
But I understand how he feels, too.
My parents gave me diet pills
and beat me to lose weight,
but nothing worked.
I decided to lose weight because
the doctor told me I could die before age 20.
(He made the decision after hearing shocking news)
I was shocked and decided to lose weight.
You don't want to lose weight at all?
Not now.
About the fact that you sprain your ankles often.
You don't think it's a serious problem.
As for me, I injured my ankles so often that
I don't have ligaments left because I needed surgery.
Right, right, right.
(Oh...)
(Shocked)
He falls down often, too.
I have such a bad back now that
I'm taking narcotic painkillers.
If you continue to be this obese,
you could end up on meds your whole life like me
or you could die. Is that okay with you?
That would be a problem.
We're not talking about someone else here.
You must know how dangerous it could be for you.
"Oh, I have a serious problem."
Did you eat as much as he does in the past?
You talked about all-you-can-eat places.
I was kicked out of one.
- Really? / - He was worse.
Because I ate too much,
they asked me to leave.
He was worse.
From an all-you-can-eat place.
I was able to lose weight.
I think you are able to do the same.
You don't think this is that serious,
but you must lose weight now.
You won't have time to lose it
when you're in college or when you're working.
You must lose weight now.
Yes!
Junsu gave some good advice.
What do you think about what he said?
I'm starting to think that I should lose weight.
(What a relief)
That's good.
I guess Junsu is someone who can give advice.
He is qualified to do so.
Do you know what you want to become?
I like to make people laugh and I like to eat.
I also like to play games.
So I want to become a streamer.
What would you stream?
Would it be about games? Or eating?
I would mostly play games
and then eat when it's time.
(Speechless)
A program like that.
Game and then eat?
Game, eat, game, eat.
I got him a $3,000 computer
so that he can stream.
He used to go to internet cafes before,
but now he just stays home and plays games.
No, that's bad.
He doesn't shower. As for his glasses,
I cleaned them for him today.
He never cleans them.
I can still see without cleaning them.
(Next-level laziness)
Have you ever streamed anything?
I did, but no one watched it,
so I stopped doing it.
Many people dream of earning money
by playing games and sleeping.
But it has become so competitive now that it's hard.
You must have a special talent that
other people don't have to earn money.
But people will judge you on how you look.
I think it would be a good idea
to be more realistic and find something else
that you can do.
Since you are now on Hello Counselor,
you should stream
the process of losing weight.
Show people that you're determined to lose weight.
Then you might get more subscribers.
If you lose a lot of weight,
I'll play a round with you!
(What an honor!)
Let's be specific.
How much should he lose?
- Just a little. / - Say it yourself!
(Will he be able to make a promise?)
45 lbs.
(He has changed!)
- First round? / - 45 lbs.
(Touched)
This is the first time he has said that.
We must set the date.
What if he loses weight by the time he's 40?
Or maybe when he's 60.
When he's 70,
he could say, "I weigh 200 lbs now."
We'd all be dead by then.
No one would be left.
- By White Day. / - No.
Let's give him a year.
- That's too long. / - Next year.
By Children's Day.
- May 5. That's good. / - That sounds good!
That sounds nice.
- Choose a date. / - As a gift.
Not April Fool's Day though!
(When will he lose 45 lbs by?)
By White Day. (March 14)
White Day?
White Day.
You know when that is, right?
Yes.
This is the first time that
he's ever said he would lose weight.
I'm so glad I came here today.
Yes. You must be stern, too.
I will be stern and be supportive.
(Let's play games together)
Let's start with Dohyun.
Tony Hong said this once.
If you work hard for a year,
become fit and look in the mirror,
you'll know the joy of looking fit,
so you end up maintaining that body.
I really hope you succeed in losing weight.
Tony Hong also said that
you're his type, Dohyun.
(Dizzy)
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
I know you can do this,
so I don't think it's a serious concern.
I hope you really are determined this time.
I think this is your chance to be better.
I think it's a slight concern.
If you can relate, press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Please stop.
Please say a word to your parents.
Be healthy.
Elaborate on that.
You eat so much, so why do you speak so briefly?
I will try to lose weight for the first time.
Please have faith in me.
You can do it!
Please show us the result.
(The last digit is a 1)
This couldn't be the first concern.
(The first concern was quite serious)
Did they get over 100 votes?
81 votes.
(They got 81 votes)
