"A Nomadic Woman."
Hello.
I'm 34 years old and I'm the eldest of 3 girls.
People say they're impressed by my sister.
"So where's your sister now?
America? Japan? Australia?"
"I don't know.
I think she's in Spain right now."
"I'm so jealous of your sister. She's awesome."
Yes, that's understandable.
My sister is currently unemployed.
She's been traveling around the world for a decade.
Because of that, our family is
at our wit's end.
She left for Australia to study English.
Ring ring ring. "Sis. I'm in Korea."
"It's only been 4 months. Why?"
"Australia really wasn't for me."
"Sis! I'm going to the Philippines this time.
I'm going to start a new life there."
She came back just after 2 weeks.
"Sis! I'm going to China!
I got a job there. Isn't that great?"
She quit just after 2 weeks.
"Get a grip! You're 32 years old!
You should settle down and get a job."
"I know what I'm going to do now.
I'm going to learn to meditate in India."
(Oh my)
So far, she's been to
America, Great Britain, France, Italy,
Germany, Spain, Austria, India, etc.
I can't count them all.
Please make my sister settle down now.
I think her sister might be happy with this life.
People say that it's best to travel
while you're young because you can
be happy looking at the pictures when you're old.
They say travel while you're young.
As long as her family can afford it,
I think it's good to travel as much as she can.
I'm very jealous.
Hangzoo... You have this aura that...
You were banned from leaving the country.
- It isn't so, right? / - Not at all.
I like to travel a lot, too.
You can't travel this much just because
you're rich or you have the time.
Some people are born with that ability.
So I'm impressed by her.
This is what everyone thinks.
Why is her sister so concerned?
Let's bring her out.
Please come on out.
(Who's concerned about her nomadic sister?)
(Yang Dahyeon)
How many countries has your sister been to?
I can't count them all.
From age 22 to 32,
she's been to the Philippines, Australia, China,
Ireland, the Czech Republic, France...
So many countries around the world.
It seems like she's on the run or something.
She doesn't even stay a month in Korea.
She graduated from an education college,
so I hoped she'd take the teacher certification exam.
Oh, an education college.
She can become a teacher after taking the exam.
But after a month, she gave up and said
she was going to Australia on a working holiday visa.
Then when she started to travel a lot.
(That was the beginning)
Isn't it good for her to travel
and experience different things?
The problem is that she has so much passion,
but not persistence.
She always makes excuses and comes back.
She came back from Australia after 4 months.
She came back after 2 weeks from the Philippines.
In the case of Ireland and China,
she came back in less than a year.
She comes back before she can learn
anything worthwhile.
Well, in Mexico,
she got a job as an interpreter.
In Czech, she worked as a hotel manager.
But she quit both times in just a few months.
(What's wrong with my sister?)
How can she afford to do that?
That's what I'm most curious about.
As long as she can afford to do that...
Dad pays for all her expenses.
Our family has three daughters.
My youngest sister is in college.
Dad has to pay for her tuition, too.
But since my other sister hasn't settled down,
he has to pay for her expenses, too.
She said her roommate was studying for an MBA,
so she wanted to get her MBA degree, too.
An MBA?
Dad paid $10,000 for her tuition.
Then she said it was too hard and
came back home before finishing a single semester.
Can your parents afford to pay for her expenses?
No. My dad was a high school teacher,
but he retired. Since he still has to support us,
he opened up an English institution.
Other people are traveling on their pensions,
but my dad works with no rest even on weekends.
To pay for his daughter's traveling expenses?
Because of his daughter.
This is a grave concern for my parents,
but they couldn't come here because
when people ask them what their second daughter does,
they don't want to badmouth her.
So they say that she's doing well overseas.
That's understandable.
When he thinks of my sister,
my father must be angry even in his sleep.
He wakes up and drinks alcohol.
He told me that in his next life,
he doesn't want to get married.
Your father?
Is that because of your sister or your mom?
(Flustered)
Because of his second daughter.
Sure.
He said, "I just want her to disappear."
Imagine how hard it must've been
for him if he said that.
(It's a concern...)
You're here on behalf of your entire family.
You luckily contacted us
when she happened to be in Korea.
It was the perfect timing.
My sister just got back from India 4 days ago.
What a relief.
I brought her here before she ran off again.
She travels all around the world and
happens to be in Korea now.
She just got back from India 4 days ago.
This is an honor.
Let's meet her sister.
Hello.
(Who has been traveling for 10 years?)
Hello.
Were you flustered when you heard about coming here?
When your sister told you about our program?
She has been so worried about me,
so I came to hear her side of the story.
Since you were in India, say hello in Indian.
Namaste.
That's all I know.
Curry.
Gandhi.
(Blurting out random Indian words)
You must've been to almost every country.
I think I've been on a plane more than 100 times.
(She rode a plane about 10 times per year!)
Tell us where you've been to.
America, Great Britain, France,
Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic,
Germany, Austria, Australia, India,
Hong Kong, Japan, the Dominican Republic,
Mexico, Argentina...
Where else?
Ireland, China...
About 20 countries?
- I see. / - Oh, Santiago.
This was taken in Santiago.
(She's not only been to Santiago)
(Which is on many travelers' bucket lists)
(But also South America)
(Which takes 2 days to travel to)
(She's been to many places in the past 10 years)
I'm impressed.
You've been to these places with your dad's money.
- That's the key point. / - Oh, gee.
It wasn't 100% my father's money.
I started to earn a little starting in my late 20s.
What was the purpose of these trips?
My dream is to travel around the world.
I started out with a working holiday in Australia.
It was so much fun to see a bigger world.
(So happy)
You must be fluent in foreign languages.
She did speak Indian earlier. Namaste.
There's one.
I speak a bit of English, Chinese, and Spanish.
Who else speaks foreign languages here?
I want to hear her speak another language.
Chinese? Chinese?
Which language?
- You're from? / - What's your language?
English?
Why don't you two speak in English?
She seems to be a native English speaker.
(This became an English-speaking test)
- Hi. / - Hi.
How are you doing?
I'm okay. I'm good. I'm so nervous and you?
Me too.
I heard that you've been to European countries.
Have you ever been to Azerbaijan?
No. I'm sorry. I haven't been there.
Do you know where it is located?
No, sorry.
(Blah blah)
(In a daze...)
(His eyes glaze over)
(Speaking English by herself)
Okay, thanks.
I don't know about her sister's English,
but that lady's English is quite fluent.
(Oh gee)
Does anyone speak Chinese?
We have a global audience today.
How do you know Chinese?
Are you Chinese or did you learn it?
I'm Chinese.
(Surprised attacked by native speakers)
Speaking with the natives is...
What did you think about China?
I love China.
When I was in China, I learned Chinese and...
She's good.
What did she say?
What did you two talk about?
She traveled a lot around China.
- Does she have good pronunciation? / - Yes.
(She's multilingual)
She's good.
Your sister said you aren't persistent enough
even though you have so much passion.
Why did you come back from the Philippines
in just 2 weeks?
I was homesick.
- In just 2 weeks? / - Yes.
What about from the Czech Republic?
I was there for about 3 months.
They were looking for a Korean hotel manager,
so I went. But when I got there,
it was a in-house company cafeteria, not a hotel.
You didn't like it?
Shouldn't you have known that before you went?
(Well...)
She went to Australia,
but she was scared of big cockroaches there.
She called every day and finally came home.
- Because of cockroaches? / - No way.
Seriously.
Australian cockroaches are known to be big.
I'm sure people who've been there know.
I know. I know. They're huge.
They are about this big.
You can't catch them. There are so many.
In Korea, we kill them like this.
You can't even kill them at once.
They have big feet, too.
You seem to be scared of cockroaches.
They're huge.
So I understand how she feels.
You came back from India 4 days ago.
How long were you there for?
- About 2 days. / - What?
Just 2 days in India?
Didn't you go there to meditate?
In order to find inner peace...
(Ha!)
I went there to learn how to meditate.
There were ants, cockroaches, and
centipedes crawling around everywhere.
So I gave up and came back to Korea.
- Wow. / - It was because of bugs?
Is it because you enjoy going on planes?
It might be because of the in-flight meals!
And she gets to shop at duty-free stores.
Maybe she likes getting her passport stamped.
(Embarrassed)
Is there a reason that you can't stay in Korea?
It's suffocating to be in Korea
and the job market is terrible.
I think I leave the country to escape.
Don't you feel bad about
spending your dad's money?
I do.
It's because when you're in Korea,
people ask, "What are your plans for the future?"
So you leave to be at peace, but
it isn't easy when you're overseas. Right?
Right.
There isn't a career that you want to pursue?
I don't know what I want to do in life.
It's fun to go overseas and try new things,
but I'm not persistent, so I give up.
Are you happy when you're overseas?
Not always.
Then why do you do it?
For example, I went to Mexico as an interpreter,
but I had to use professional terms.
But I'm not that fluent in Spanish.
So I was so stressed and my bosses yelled at me.
That's why I quit so soon, because I lost confidence.
(Frustrated)
How many people love everything about their jobs?
They are stressed out and frustrated,
but they just endure it.
Do you know how much you've spent so far?
I think $30,000-40,000 for airfare.
It must be at least $40,000.
$40,000. (That's a lot...)
You also spent money as living expenses, right?
That's a lot of money.
You could've used that to start something here.
Right.
I didn't think it would go on for 10 years.
If she had an opportunity in Korea,
she wouldn't have gone this far.
It's not all her fault, right?
I think she has had many opportunities,
but she just wasted them and fled.
How so?
A university was hiring.
The odds were 180 to 1 and she was hired.
Unbelievable!
Then she should work there.
- But... / - I'm sure she worked there.
After just 2 months, she said the job wasn't for her,
quit via email, and left Korea.
(Why did she do that?)
Other teachers were so excellent that
I lost my self-esteem.
"How did I get here when I'm not good enough?"
You should've worked harder to be better.
Right. You should've used that to your advantage.
"How did she get here with her abilities?"
You should've pretended to be part of a royal family.
They might've thought she was someone's daughter.
You gave up your opportunity too quickly.
Someone was rejected because of you.
Don't you feel bad for that person?
If I want to travel, but I can't,
I go to the airport to write lyrics.
The airport.
I find ways to cope in Korea.
It refreshes me and I learn something new, too.
That's how everybody endures in their lives.
You endure it.
I understand how she feels.
She's just like me when I was in my 20s.
I tried training to join the SWAT team.
I tried to become a presidential security officer.
I tried to start a business at Namdaemun.
I even studied abroad in New Zealand for 4 months.
But everything was hard and they didn't suit me.
I felt the same way.
But in the end, I realized that
sports was something that I could do for life.
Since then, I was able to endure hardship.
If you endure it once, you can work through it.
But she never tried to do that once.
What is the toughest thing for you?
I get worried that she's out there alone.
I don't know if she's safe.
When something happens overseas,
I text her about it.
She says, "I can take care of myself."
So it's quite frustrating for me.
You must've faced some dangerous situations.
When I went backpacking in India, I met a guide.
He said that he was married,
but he had never kissed a woman.
He asked me to teach him how to kiss.
What?
He kept bugging me about teaching it to him.
I got scared and he followed me to my hotel.
That's so dangerous.
Fortunately, nothing happened afterwards,
but that was the scariest moment for me.
I'm suddenly relieved that she's still alive.
Aren't you worried even after going through that?
I wasn't in any big trouble, so...
What if you were in trouble? You'd be in trouble.
That'd be terrible.
You shouldn't stop only after you got into a bind.
You were already in a bind.
Are you worried about your older sister, too?
Yes. When I worry about her,
she says, "Stop! It's my life!
I can't live my life working just one job."
And she gets mad at me.
I call her "Human Self-Improvement Book."
She always says, "Youth is about being in pain"
or "Yell, 'I can do it' 5 times a day."
She tells me that all the time.
(She's so strange)
But she can't do it, right?
She's too immature.
She can't see reality and
still chases after idyllic dreams
But don't you ever feel like,
"Wow! She keeps challenging herself.
That's awesome?"
Well, yeah. Sometimes.
She looks great when she goes overseas for
a new job, but not after 3 months.
Because she comes back home.
She comes back before anyone can be impressed.
She looks great when she gets a job somewhere,
but isn't so great when she comes back.
I'm currently attending an education college.
My father always tells me,
"Don't live like your sister.
Take the teacher certification exam right away."
He always pressures me.
I wanted to try something new at times,
but I was stopped because of my sister.
I feel like she's getting in the way of my life.
What does her brother-in-law think?
Hello.
Hello.
Do you understand your wife's concern?
I think it's a concern, too.
My sister-in-law is always away,
so I still feel awkward with her
even though I've been married for 8 years now.
- Because you never see her? / - Right.
Fortunately, she was able to be at our wedding.
At your wedding.
Feeling joy in your daily life is important,
but she doesn't get to feel that joy from family.
What would you do if she was your sister?
I never want a sister like her.
(Her brother-in-law wants to deny her existence)
He never wants a sister like her.
(I'm glad I'm your sister-in-law)
Has she dated anyone?
In the past 10 years?
She gets lonely so easily that
she always had a boyfriend when she was away.
I'm not surprised.
She F.I.L. quickly.
She falls in love quickly.
She's impulsive and falls in love easily. Wow.
When she went to Santiago,
she quickly fell in love with someone there.
She met an American boyfriend in China.
She wanted to marry him and brought him here.
I wanted to be able to talk to him,
so I registered for a 7 a.m. English class.
What did you do to your sister?
Oh my.
Then they broke up just 2 months later.
It was really a tough time for me.
In order to talk to her future brother-in-law...
- You're so nice. / - You took an English class?
When I meet someone that I can talk to
I fall in love with him very quickly.
Did any of the relationships last long?
I dated a Korean guy for a long time.
The shortest one
only lasted about a month.
(She's so fickle)
Do you have more plans to go overseas?
For real this time,
I plan to settle down in Korea for a while.
Your sisters don't seem to believe you.
You're someone who can leave any day.
Our production crew talked to a professional.
In this case,
you could have adult ADHD.
There are 3 symptoms.
Someone who is hyperactive
and travels around a lot.
Someone who's impulsive.
And lastly, someone who's careless.
That sounds like her.
According to the professional,
it helps to get a job in Korea
that requires you to move around a lot.
You need to find a job that is less boring.
I wonder what job that would be.
Koreans usually think it's shameful
to seek counseling from a professional.
But I don't think that's right.
I talk to a professional, too.
I think that's good for mental health.
If you send them away, what happens to us?
Why are you sending away our customers?
We'll resolve easy concerns for free.
What would you like to tell your sister?
I really want you to take this chance to change.
I'm most worried about Mom and Dad.
Dad got heart surgery last year
and he is still recovering from it.
Um...
(She gets emotional thinking of their ill father)
Talking about dad...
Dad always dreamed of traveling around the world
but he still works to support us.
He doesn't have a life of his own.
I want you to take this opportunity to settle down.
You are such a great sister.
Okay.
Let's start with you, Eana. Is it a concern?
I want you to make a plan
and think of your sisters, too.
I think it's a concern, too.
I hope you get a job and earn money to
plan a family trip.
That's a great idea.
I think it's a concern, too.
I don't think it's a serious concern.
I believe knowing how to give up also takes courage.
I think this issue can be resolved.
If you can relate to the sister's concern,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Please stop.
Please say a word to your family.
Yeah. Do you want to say it in Spanish?
(No more)
I will get my act together and
show you that I can be persistent, too.
I'm very sorry. Thank you and I love you.
Why don't you say a word
to your father, too?
You're making a promise to him.
Dad.
You've gone through so much suffering because of me.
I cry at times because I feel so bad.
I'm sorry for living like this for 10 years.
I will show you a real achievement this time.
Thank you so much and I love you.
