How do you converse
with your son? He talks to you.
He texts me when he needs something.
For example, he might say that he needs money.
He might ask me to order him fried chicken.
He might ask me to wash his sneakers.
There is a pet turtle he cherishes.
He has a pet turtle.
He asks me to feed it.
That's when he texts.
- He should feed it himself. / - It makes me wonder
why he can't think about his parents
when he thinks about his turtle.
(Son, please grow up.)
Has your dad made you upset?
Has he hurt your pride?
I imagine you are like this due to an emotional scar.
Whenever I say something to my dad,
he answers in a pessimistic way. He says it won't work.
- Give us an example. / - When I was in the army,
an ethics counselor came and gave a lecture.
I got a certificate to become an ethics counselor.
- He got a certificate. / - Afterwards,
I told him that I want to become an ethics counselor.
However, Dad disliked the idea and I stopped talking.
What does your dad want you to be in the future?
A public official or a technician.
He wants you to have a stable job.
Because I work as a taxi driver,
I want my children to have a stable job.
I want them to live comfortably.
Parents always tell their children
to become a public official or a technician.
When I was in middle school,
my mom told me to become Miss Korea.
I am serious.
Parents tend to speak of impossible dreams.
That story never ceases to be funny.
I understand.
Are you studying anything these days?
I am learning how to operate a forklift and excavator.
- An excavator. / - An excavator.
- Heavy equipment. / - He listens to his parents.
Did you know that he is learning how to operate
excavators?
I don't have a lot of faith in him.
You should believe in him.
- Why not? / - He is obsessed with games.
He left school after a year
and went to the army.
He left school.
Then he wanted to become a police officer.
I paid for his classes,
- but he quit after a month. / - I see.
He quit after a month.
Even though he is my son,
I don't have a lot of faith in him.
(My goodness.)
It seems like you lack tenacity to see things through.
Why do you continue to quit?
In middle school,
I realized that studying isn't my forte.
I wanted to go to an occupational high school,
but they insisted that I go to a regular high school
and move on to a national university.
I ended up going to a regular high school,
but I placed last in my class all the time.
I spent my time meaninglessly.
In my second year of high school,
I wanted to transfer to an occupational class,
but they insisted I stay in the regular academic class.
I had no choice but to graduate from there.
I didn't want to go to a university,
but they insisted that I go
and I majored in something that doesn't suit me.
- What was your major? / - He's saying
that you made him go to a regular high school
and a university for the sake of the titles.
You made him live in a way that makes him unhappy.
Why did you do that?
He placed last in his class.
It's meaningless.
He isn't interested in studying.
- That's right. / - I thought
he should further his education.
I think I made the wrong judgment.
Is there something you would like to do?
I am curious.
I want to be an ethics counselor and make people laugh.
Are you good with your words?
No, I am not.
Do you think you are funny?
I am funny.
Really?
- He is funny. / - He is funny.
What exactly does an ethics counselor do?
- I want to know. / - I haven't heard of it.
- Does anyone know? / - I don't know.
- I don't exactly know. / - What?
(You have a certificate.)
- Go on. / - You have a certificate.
It's not a certificate that is widely known.
Ethics counselors get hired by public institutions
to guide those who write malicious comments on the web.
Internet ethics counselors.
They educate people
- on web etiquette. / - Internet ethics counselors.
- Yes. / - I think...
I understand why he doesn't talk to his dad.
Thank you.
Do you talk...
(He interprets the comment the way he wants.)
- He didn't say he supports you. / - No, I didn't.
Don't thank him.
He is funny.
(Confused)
Do you talk to your older brother?
We don't talk.
I don't have his number.
(I don't have his number.)
- My goodness. / - My goodness.
Since when did you not have his number?
I think I called him a few times long time ago,
but he never called me.
He stopped talking to me at one point
and stayed in his room.
Do you know where he lives?
No, I don't.
You don't know that.
Do you want to be closer to your brother?
I am comfortable the way it is now.
There is a chasm between the family members.
(There is a chasm between the family members.)
What happens on your birthday or Parents' Day?
I wouldn't be here if he did something on those days.
You know when your dad's birthday is, right?
February 25.
- Correct. / - Correct. When is your mom's birthday?
May 20th.
It's May 20th by the solar calendar.
Do you know your brother's birthday?
(Expectant)
(Please get it right.)
I have their birthdays memorized
- to make accounts. / - He needs them for games.
(For goodness' sake.)
That's why he remembers them.
(They aren't smiling inside.)
He needs them for games.
Did you get anything for your last birthday?
No, I didn't.
I turned 60 this year.
I would have thrown a party had I worked at a company.
However, both of my sons are disinterested.
I swallowed my urge to celebrate.
Did you see both of your sons at least?
I told you earlier
that it's hard to see them.
He turned 60.
Even if you don't have a present, you should've
congratulated him. Why didn't you do that?
I wanted to.
Is it hard to voice that thought?
I didn't voice that thought.
You won't make a good ethics counselor.
He is the one who needs a counselor.
How do you alleviate your loneliness and anger?
Working as a taxi driver,
I get stressed out a lot.
- Of course you do. / - I am 60 years old.
When I get drunk passengers,
they hit my head for no reason.
- My goodness. / - My goodness.
I can't believe some people do that.
I have to remain polite
since I am in the service industry.
When I go home
after a hard day, my son doesn't greet me.
"Welcome home. Thank you for your hard work."
That would chase away the exhaustion
and give me energy.
It's nothing.
That's what
I want to hear.
When he endures rudeness of drunk passengers
to make money, you waste it on games.
Don't you feel angry when you hear a story like this?
I would have gone crazy if I were his son.
I know that he works hard,
but I find it hard to give him
words of encouragement.
You should try.
He will be happy if you eat with him.
He hasn't eaten with his son in ten years.
It's outrageous.
What kind of a son doesn't greet his dad?
To be honest, I want to live alone.
- Gosh. / - I knew he would say that.
- Come on. / - He is a bad son.
I still don't understand.
I'm sure there must be a bigger reason.
Is there a reason you haven't shared?
When I was young, my parents fought often.
I would come home from school to see broken pots.
No one answered me when I asked what had happened.
I always stayed in my room alone.
I think I was affected by it.
It could be the reason.
Was he telling the truth?
My wife and I fought often
due to our different personalities.
For how long did you date before your got married?
We met three times.
They met three times.
Was it an arranged match?
Yes, I married him because he seemed diligent.
- They met three times. / - The married life
didn't make me happy.
- Why not? / - What was hard about it?
He spoke in a brusque manner as if he was scolding me.
He simply threw out words.
I would get annoyed and quarrel with him.
I received treatments for depression.
That's how hard it has been.
Those who are watching the show must remember this.
It's detrimental for a child
to see his or her parents fight.
- It's detrimental. / - It's the worst that can happen.
The biggest issue is the lack of communication.
Children learned from their parents' ways.
That's why they stopped talking.
Since you want to be an ethics counselor,
you could change the atmosphere.
I think that would be nice.
Should I do it now?
- What? / - Can you do it?
- What? / - Can you do it?
I am good at being funny.
(Flustered)
Show us.
(He is ridiculous.)
We don't want to see you being funny.
We want to see you make your dad happy.
- I see. / - Okay?
How would you make people laugh
when you haven't made your parents laugh once?
Why don't you tell your son what's on your mind?
Tell him how you want things to be.
Jaedong, my younger son.
The experiences you had in your childhood left a scar.
Even though I don't remember very well,
I hope you would let go of those painful memories.
I did you wrong. Forgive me.
I love you.
My goodness.
(His apology makes the heart ache.)
My goodness,
this is upsetting.
You are shedding tears.
It's...
It's frustrating, right?
It's upsetting
to think about how frustrated he must have been
for the past ten years.
- It made me sad. / - Of course it did.
Say what you want to say to your dad.
Dad.
(He carefully reveals what's on his mind.)
To be honest,
I didn't know it was such a big worry for you.
I know that I am immature.
Even though I am trying, it's hard.
I will try harder and welcome you home from now on.
- I won't be an embarrassment. / - Meals.
If you don't chew loudly, I will eat with you.
- For goodness' sake. / - Come here.
Come here. Give your dad a hug.
This is a good place to start.
Come on out.
Tell him that you love him.
Give him a hug.
(This will be a new beginning for them.)
Let me give you a hug.
(They will make each other proud.)
You should hug him back.
Give him a piggyback ride.
- You should have done that. / - Hug him back.
What are you doing?
(That's incredible.)
What are you doing?
(Dad and son make a cross.)
(Is this how characters hug in games?)
Were you trying to throw your dad?
He is ridiculous.
(He made people laugh in a unique way.)
He used a wrestling technique.
Let's have a vote.
I think it's a worry.
When your dad apologized after beating you,
you must have been flustered.
However, your dad felt that way for the past ten years.
He must have struggled a lot in the past ten years.
I also think it's a worry.
So that he doesn't regret it later,
he should treat his parents more nicely.
I also think it's a worry.
This is an important step in their lives.
I hope they will build a good relationship from now on.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In five, four, / - In five, four,
- three, two, one. / - three, two, one.
- Stop. / - Time's up.
Ma'am, if you have words for your older son...
- Please say them now. / - I am sure you do.
Jaeseok, the struggles in your childhood
must have led to pent-up frustration.
I want to take this opportunity...
(The thought of her older son makes her tear up.)
to ask for your understanding.
Also,
it would be nice if you can send us a text.
(When did it go wrong?)
All right.
(We hope they heal as a family.)
My goodness.
I wonder how many votes this worry received.
Show us the result.
The first worry received 76 votes.
The number is over 100.
"The Silent Son".
