"A Nerve-wracking Concern."
Hello. I'm a 24-year-old man from Gyeongsang-do.
I am terrified of
going home these days.
While I eat, "Ah!"
During my sleep, "Ah!"
It's because of my sister's pet.
What is she raising?
"Oh, my baby. You are so cute.
Look at how cute it is wiggling."
- A worm? / - My sister is raising...
What is it? A snake?
She's raising leeches.
Leeches?
"Oh, my baby. Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah."
- What's that? / - She's kissing it.
- A leech? / - A leech.
"Why do you look like that? Are you sick?"
No matter how much I stare at it,
I can't tell which side is the head.
They look like this.
The problem is, they crawl on the table when we eat.
They crawl all over my bed while I'm sleeping.
- They're not caged. / - Don't they suck blood?
What's even more terrifying is that
what started out as 5 leeches
increased to 10, 20 leeches
and now there are more than 60.
(Oh my god)
What's worse is...
"I can't stand it anymore."
My mother ended up in tears.
I'm tired of this disgusting cohabitation with leeches.
Please make her stop.
This is the concern.
Do they look like centipedes?
- Chubby worms. / - Chubby worms.
They're not as long as worms.
Are they like slugs?
You could think of them as cockroaches.
Cockroaches aren't that bad.
Jea, you prefer cockroaches?
I can grab them with my bare hands.
(Oh my)
Are you saying you kill it with your bare hands?
I grab it and throw it out with a tissue.
But leeches stick right to you.
That's more terrifying.
I think leeches are better than cockroaches.
(Can't imagine)
Let's bring him out to talk to him.
Come on out, please.
(Park Giwan)
(10 points for his sliding style!)
He was stuck to the slide like
a leech and walked down.
Please introduce yourself.
I'm 24-year-old Park Giwan
from Gimhae, Gyeongsangnam-do.
So your sister is raising leeches at home?
Yes, she is.
It's disgusting as soon as I get home.
She's had them for 7 months now.
- Since she first brought them? / - Yes.
She started out with 3-4 leeches
and there are more than 60 now.
Because they bred?
No, she bought more.
- You can buy them? / - She bought them?
- They are sold in stores? / - Yes.
Where would they sell leeches?
I argue with my sister every day because of it.
She's so loud that our neighbors report us.
How loud is she?
So I would sleep over at my friends' houses,
but I can't do that for long.
So I live with the leeches.
That's why I'm here today.
How did she end up having leeches as pets?
She always liked reptiles.
She started to own a snake as a pet 3 years ago,
but my dad accidentally stepped on it.
(Oh no)
- Did it die? / - Yes.
He must've stepped on it quite hard.
My sister has a bad knee,
so she was looking for something that could help
and found leeches.
But now she loves them more than anything.
How can she kiss a leech? I don't get it.
I'm curious. Are leeches hermaphroditic?
Yes, they are.
Hermaphroditic?
(Is it time for a quiz?)
By the way,
why are you curious about that?
I, too...
You too?
(You're a hermaphrodite, too?)
You scared me.
I used to have worms as pets for my fish.
Many types of worms are hermaphrodites.
2 worms can become 30-40 worms in a month.
But I've never heard about leeches.
Where does she put 60 leeches?
She puts 5-6 of them in a single plastic box.
She puts one in her room, my room and my parents' room.
Why?
Why does she put them in different rooms?
Every room has different temperature and humidity.
She wanted to check.
She's looking for the best environment.
What's worse is that she keeps
hungry leeches in our refrigerator.
- They don't die? / - No.
So you see leeches every time you open it?
Yes. It scares us to death.
We've only heard about leeches.
I'm sure many of you have never seen them.
We asked her for some pictures.
Oh my.
They're so big.
They're huge.
(They look horrific!)
- They're huge. / - They look like dog poop.
They're gigantic.
- They can stay underwater, too? / - Yes.
They live underwater.
Next to the milk. I don't want to drink milk anymore.
They are so big.
I've only seen small ones.
I thought they were this small.
There are small ones, too. She just has big ones.
They're so long.
So they stay inside that container all day long?
We must change the water 3 times a day.
3 times?
Have you ever touched them with your bare hands?
My sister sometimes asks me to change water.
You help her out?
I wear gloves when I do it,
but they are still slimy and sticky.
That must be aggravating.
Did you change their water
even though you're here today?
It was done this morning.
While we listen to his story,
Kyung looks quite peaceful.
I don't understand why this is a problem.
That's great, because
they will bring out the leeches later.
I was worried about who will touch them, but you...
You can let them suck your blood.
Are you okay with that?
I think leeches are disgusting, but
as long as they're caged, it'd be fine.
Yes. As long as they're in the box, it'd be fine.
Why would she let them out?
She leaves them on the table when we eat.
Why does she do that?
A man came to change our water purifier filter
and she let them out.
He accidentally stepped on one
and she witnessed it happen.
She yelled, "Why did you kill a living being?"
- It died? / - Yes.
Many living things die in your home, like the snake.
He must've been speechless.
Yes, he was.
When we kill a mosquito, blood splatters.
What about a leech?
Blood splatters a lot.
Yes, since it has sucked on blood for 3 months.
What's the current market price on a leech?
The market price.
I am wondering how much each one costs.
My sister would know.
We should ask the sister.
I want to meet her. I have so many questions.
Let's meet his sister. Hello.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Do you understand his concern? I'm sure you don't.
I'm 50-50 on that.
Many people have pets.
Reptiles, dogs, cats, turtles...
People have many kinds of pets.
My leeches don't harm anyone.
Just because they look disgusting,
my family hates them. I don't get it.
What's the charm of leeches?
You don't understand. They've got a lot of charm.
I really, really don't understand.
I'll tell you.
They breathe underwater,
so they swim and dance underwater.
They dance underwater?
They get their butts stuck in rocks...
(Hahahahaha)
(You little leeches...)
- She really loves them. / - They're cute.
If you watch them closely, they yawn.
But it's hard to see.
Because like he said earlier,
you can't tell which side is the head.
Which side is the head? How do you kiss it?
One side seemed chubbier than the other.
If you leave it on the floor,
the direction it moves in is the head.
(Speechless)
The direction it moves in.
Sure. They wouldn't crawl backward.
Snakes can't slither backward either.
You never know. They could be crawling backwards.
They could be moving backwards.
How do they yawn?
- Do they yawn like we do? / - Yes.
They have teeth deep inside their mouths.
But it's very hard to see it.
How did you see that?
I spend 1-2 hours a day
watching them dance.
How do they dance?
Why do they dance?
They're digesting food.
It looks like they're dancing to you?
Yes. They are so lovely when they do that.
(She's head over heels in love with leeches!)
You bought them to use as a treatment at first?
Yes.
It's not so bad that I can't walk,
but I have weak cartilage,
so I ended up studying about the leech treatment.
The leech treatment was approved by the FDA.
- The leech treatment? / - Is it effective?
I think it's effective.
It feels good after they suck my blood.
How does it feel to be sucked by them?
The leeches I have at home
are quite strong.
So it hurts a little when they suck on my blood.
It hurts a little.
If they're helpful to you, there's no choice.
But you can raise them in your own room.
Why do you have to put them in others' rooms?
That's the concern.
I don't understand why that's harmful.
I just can't understand.
We can't understand why you let them out.
I like my room warm, but not my brother.
He likes it cool.
I'm trying to provide them the best environment.
She's testing different places.
And I want them to like the leeches.
- What? / - You're doing it for them to like them?
But why do you let them out?
It wouldn't be too bad if they're in water.
You leave them on the table.
I'm letting them exercise.
(What?)
It's like you're walking a dog.
That's right. To help them digest food.
You want your family to love the leeches?
Yes. I want my family
to love what I love.
Don't you think it's selfish of you to
force your family to like what you like?
They are so charming that with time,
my family will inevitably fall in love with them.
You said you don't understand how it harms
your family. Victims decide it, not the offender.
(There you go!)
He said that the offender doesn't decide it.
We are quite curious.
The market price for leeches.
They aren't too expensive, right?
It would depend on the vendor
but it costs from $25 to $40.
- Per leech? / - Yes.
They would've cost about $1,800.
They're expensive.
A small one is as costly as a plate of sashimi.
The water purifier guy.
He accidentally stepped on one.
Why did you get mad at him?
That baby happened to be chock-full of
blood he sucked on the night before.
It was quite full.
So blood splattered everywhere.
You should've kept it in a safe place.
Wasn't that your fault?
It was your fault for leaving it out.
I admit that I was partially at fault,
but he's more at fault for not looking carefully.
I'm curious. Whose blood did it suck on?
Whose blood?
My brother's.
What?
(How did that happen?)
Are you ill?
We'll talk about that a little later.
All right. We'll do that.
We have so many questions.
First, let's meet the leeches
that she loves so much.
They're his nephews.
Let's bring them out onto the stage.
Please bring them out.
Kyung.
Get ready, Kyung.
Roll up your sleeves.
He has a bad knee.
Jaehyo?
Jaehyo has a bad knee?
It's all better now.
(Here come the leeches!)
They're dancing.
- They're so big. / - They're dancing.
Did she only bring big ones on purpose?
They're too big.
They're huge.
They're so disgustingly huge.
Small ones look like sea cucumbers.
Please put on gloves.
Why would we put on gloves?
(Ahhhh!)
Gloves. Gloves.
They're just gloves.
(Why are you screaming at the gloves?)
I was so grossed out by looking at the screen.
I'm sorry.
(Leeches' mom comes up)
- Give them to me. / - They are so big.
Wow.
Do they differ in size
depending on their age?
They grow when they suck on blood.
Something is written on the lids.
This says, "My granny."
They're the biggest.
It's my mother's nickname.
"Puppy" is my younger brother.
They suck on your brother's blood and
- these suck on your mother's? / - Is that right?
These suck on your dad's blood.
The brother looks very upset right now.
Where are the ones that suck your blood?
For some reason, they often get sick.
What?
8 out of 10 leeches get sick.
(That sounds like an excuse)
This one says, "My hungry babies."
- They're quite small. / - They're thin too.
They get bigger as they suck on blood?
They get really big.
Are you going to kiss it?
You want to show us?
Wait.
Wear gloves.
(With her bare hands)
- Wear gloves. / - It'll bite.
It won't bite.
Ah!
You'll get bitten.
(It's out of the water!)
You're going to drop it.
You're going to drop it!
It won't bite.
(Amazed)
Which is the head?
(Right here!)
The direction it moves in.
(Why are you doing that?)
It won't bite. Be confident.
(Handing it over to Dongyeob)
Kiss it, Dongyeob.
It's stretching out.
It's exercising.
Look at how it stretches out.
Ah! Don't!
Ah! Don't!
Don't!
(Just a few minutes ago...)
Cockroaches aren't that bad.
Jea, you prefer cockroaches?
I can grab them with my bare hands.
(I want to go home)
It's stretching out.
It is a bit charming now that I look at it.
It's cute in a way.
(How do you call that cute?)
(Oh! Right!)
Jaehyo, you said you have a bad knee.
Jaehyo has a bad knee.
My pants won't go up. They're too tight.
We'll censor it out. Take them off.
So if they're full, they don't bite?
No, they don't. I guarantee it.
Do you have names of all of them?
They all look the same,
so they don't have individual names.
I just call them my babies.
(Why do you have babies like them?)
I can't picture it very well.
- Can you let them free? / - On the table.
Let's take them out for a walk.
So you eat while they roam around the table?
Yes.
- That's scary. / - They look like dog poop.
(Stretch)
(Shocking)
It's long.
- This is the head. / - Yes.
Why are they so fast?
- They're faster than I thought. / - Yes.
They're really fast.
They move quite fast when they're out.
They really stretch out when they move.
(Completely focused)
How many at a time do you release them?
I release everyone in the same container.
I don't think I can eat with them on the loose.
(I won't look)
So they're hermaphrodites?
Yes.
So they can breed on their own?
They give and get from each other.
Give and get.
I think they're giving and getting right now.
They're doing that, right?
They're giving and getting.
Those little rascals.
Can I see one of them?
He's going to touch it with his bare hands.
Come here, Kyung.
Touch it, Kyung.
- Oh, come on. / - The one that won't bite.
Then it'll suck your blood.
Touch it. It's okay.
It's different when you look at it up close.
Touch it.
(Will he?)
(He finally touched it)
How does it feel?
- Not bad, right? / - It's surprisingly nice.
- I told you. / - It looks moist.
Snakes actually feel good to touch, too.
It's cold.
- It's really cold. / - And moist.
(No way)
(Mwah!)
He kissed it.
(He's thrilled by kissing a leech!)
I'm impressed.
(Can't understand)
Kyung just kissed it.
Yeongja, why don't you kiss it, too?
(It's fun teasing Yeongja)
Let's put them back in before they dry out.
(Thanks for bringing them here)
Can't you be more understanding as her brother?
I could understand to a certain extent,
but she asks me to give blood to them.
She asks the family members.
- By drawing your blood? / - She lets them bite us.
Who would voluntarily give blood to them?
- Right. It's not like donating blood. / - Absurd.
I refused to do it.
One day I fell asleep at home after drinking.
(No way)
For real?
I suddenly felt a stinging pain on my arm.
Something was wriggling.
I saw the leeches and screamed. She said,
"It's okay. They're done sucking now.
You didn't feel it, right?"
(It's horrifying just thinking about it)
I lock my door now,
so she comes in through the window.
She's quite thorough.
Blood doesn't coagulate quickly.
- It keeps bleeding? / - Yes.
When I have to go out,
I put 10 bandages on.
That's amazing.
It just continues to bleed?
The wound is small, but it keeps bleeding.
That's harsh.
Bleeding a bit is good when you have indigestion.
So it wouldn't be so bad when you have indigestion.
It'd be good for the health, right?
It's more than that.
He doesn't have indigestion.
You can't force them off when they're sucking?
It's worse if you force them off.
They have small teeth and
they could get lodged in your skin.
You have to wait until they're full
and they let go on their own.
It sounds like she's blackmailing us.
So it's not good to force them off but
it's okay to force them on?
I have something to say about that.
What is it?
I begged them in the beginning.
"Let them have some blood."
"It's a good health treatment."
"They can cure anything."
But they wouldn't listen at all.
I was very disappointed by my family.
Who would say yes to that?
You do it to yourself for treatment,
but your brother isn't sick.
You ask for his blood too easily.
I'd pass out if it were me.
You don't feel any qualms about that?
It sounds dangerous.
It's healthy.
It's healthy.
I told you. Once they eat
they starve for the next 6 months.
It isn't that often and he won't allow it.
You're not getting the point.
You may do it because you like it,
but your brother doesn't.
Well, he...
(She is speechless)
You can't take his blood at your will.
You seem to have no qualms about it.
That's why he is here today.
Isn't it bad for health?
To have a leech suck on different people?
You could get infected that way.
That's the biggest risk.
That's why some only suck on me
and some only suck on my mom.
Can't you clean their mouths with alcohol?
No.
Alcohol is their biggest enemy.
Do they have to suck on human blood
or can they suck on other types of blood?
Other animals maybe?
The blood that leeches like the most
is cow blood.
She can't raise a cow at home.
Who would do that for leeches?
(I'm that cow)
Let's meet their mother. Hello.
Hello.
We heard earlier that
you were in tears.
Please tell us about that.
You saw that earlier, right?
She kisses the leeches. That's fine
but she sometimes tries to make me kiss them.
I hate that.
She put 4 leeches on me while I was asleep.
Four leeches?
I felt something weird and looked over.
Imagine how shocked I was to see them.
I'd pass out.
I screamed at her.
Do you think the treatment was effective?
Yes, for my knees.
She thinks it was effective.
Tell us about it.
My knees hurt every once in a while,
but they've gotten better now.
Whether she really got better
or if it was just the placebo effect
is something we don't know.
Mom doesn't like her intention.
She's not doing it for mom's health but
it's because the leeches are hungry!
That's her intent.
Tell us another ridiculous story.
If the leeches are sick,
she cares for them all night.
Because her babies are sick.
When I come home and say that I'm tired
she says, "Let me put leeches on you."
So she doesn't care about your illness,
but only for the leeches, right?
She is more concerned about the leeches.
- That must be upsetting. / - It is.
Hospitals do a good job these days.
My mom or brother can go see a doctor at any time.
- But my leeches... / - They can't speak.
Right. The vets won't treat them.
You are not making sense.
You're saying that your family can go see a doctor
at any time so your leeches are more important.
But you're asking them for their blood.
I'm not just asking them for their blood.
The leeches can cure them, too.
Your brother is fine. He's not sick.
(Stop harassing me...)
It's okay for her to have leeches as pets,
but it must be tough for you because
she's forcing you to like them, too.
She takes them with her when she goes out.
She puts them on the table when we eat out.
- When you're eating? / - Yes.
Then other customers complain about
- seeing disgusting leeches. / - In a container?
So she tells them, "I'm a paying customer.
What's wrong with putting them on my table?"
So the rest of us must apologize for her.
It was the worst when
she took the leeches to a convenience store
and accidentally dropped the container while paying.
So the leeches got out. The clerk was shocked
and started trembling while crying and yelling angrily.
I cleaned everything up and apologized.
Isn't it too much to take them to a public place?
When you take a dog out for a walk
and other people compliment your dog,
it makes you feel good.
It's the same for me.
But leaving them out on the table
while others are eating...
I have them in a container.
- They don't harm others. / - That's true.
But they're gross-looking.
They make other people lose their appetites.
That's not true.
Other people feel that way.
Then that's harming them.
It looks like your sister is eloquent
and quite intelligent.
Does it get tough at times because of that?
She doesn't back down when she thinks she's right.
- She never backs down. / - She's stubborn.
She must do what she sets out to do.
Particularly, she's too obsessed with the leeches,
so she won't listen to us at all.
You must be quite frustrated, ma'am.
I am.
She should be getting married at her age,
but all she cares about are the leeches.
She must be frustrated.
What man would like her?
Getting married has nothing to do with leeches.
I don't have leeches, but I'm still single.
Are you planning to buy more leeches?
No way.
Well...
Yes.
I have a plan. (Of course!)
What is it?
There are buffalo leeches in Japan.
- They're as long as your arm. / - Arm?
They're this big.
I'm planning to bring 3 of them home this summer.
Whose blood are they going to suck to live?
- What? / - What if they suck a person dry?
They could suck a liter of blood each.
No, they don't.
Did you just find out?
You must quit drinking.
Did you know about your sister's plan?
Not at all.
Buffalo leeches.
Then she needs us to give more blood
and that's just wrong.
She should buy a cow.
You keep saying that
being sucked by leeches is good for the health.
You said it's effective.
So we asked a physician about it.
He said that leeches are effective at treatment,
but raising them at home
and using them for treatment
could be quite risky.
Leeches that weren't properly sterilized
could cause infections and
some people must be cautious.
People with anemia or low blood pressure
could go into shock while being sucked.
A leech should not be reused.
Even if it sucked your own blood,
reusing it on yourself could cause problems later.
So you have to be careful.
Doctors discard a leech after one use.
You feel bad now and that you went too far, right?
I'm a human being. Of course I feel bad.
But through them, I found the source of energy
and joy in my life.
But you must remember this.
You must use them just on yourself.
It's okay for you to raise them with your blood,
but it's a problem to force others
to give blood to them.
If you take them out to public places
people can be surprised by them,
so I hope you are more careful with that.
And don't buy those buffalo leeches.
What would you like to say to her?
It'd be harsh to tell you to get rid of them.
But please reduce how many you have
or don't leave them on the table when we eat.
And please don't put them on me when I'm asleep.
You were being considerate, right?
How do you actually feel?
To be honest, I want to kill them all.
Yes, of course.
He has tears in his eyes.
He wants to kill them all.
Squash them all.
He loves his sister so much,
so he's being considerate.
(Guests' votes)
Let's start with Narsha.
It's such a grave concern.
Your family has been considerate enough.
I think it's time for you to
be considerate of them.
Jea.
A home is where you should feel comfortable.
If it's terrifying to live there...
If it were me, I would've run away already.
Park Kyung.
I'm surprised.
You understood her stance.
You didn't think this was a concern.
As I listened to her talk,
I realized that we just can't get through to her.
You keep talking about family.
My mother always told me that
a family is a little society.
You shouldn't harm others in society.
Then even within your family
you shouldn't force them to be understanding.
It's good that you want to share what you like
but you're only focused on what you want.
If someone is scared because of my dog,
I think it's my responsibility to carry it and
put a muzzle around its mouth.
If you complain to others
for being scared of your leeches,
you will make them hate leeches more.
That's not good for your leeches either.
Block B members spoke very well.
If you can relate to his concern,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
Please stop.
Please say a word to your family.
I learned a lot today.
I admit that I was at fault to a certain extent.
But please help me raise them well.
You're stubborn.
I beg you.
(Oh, my head...)
Your mother hates them so much.
Please find a way to love them while being
considerate of your family, too.
Let's see how many votes they got.
How many out of 200 people will vote for them?
- They got over 100 votes. / - 196?
- 176? / - 156?
I'm sure they got over 150 votes.
(They got 156 votes)
We will give those 156 people a leech each.
(No thanks)
