"Nuisance Friend."
I'm a busy college student.
Life is tough
because of this one man.
Ring ring ring!
"Hey! What are you up to? Hey!
Let's go play a game! One round!"
"I can't. I have class. Bye."
Ring.
"Come on! Just one round!"
My friend asks me every day
to play games with him.
Can't I just ignore him, you ask?
Ding. "Why aren't you answering my call?"
Ding. "Your class is over, right?"
Ding. "I'm at your school. Come!"
He comes to my school and
I was dragged to the internet cafe.
One time, I was on a date with my girlfriend.
"You're Eunseong's girlfriend, right?
He's not answering my calls.
I must play the game with him today.
Can you let me hang out with him today? Please?"
What is wrong with him?
Please get some sense into him.
He's concerned about his friend.
Please come on out.
(Who's concerned about his game-addicted friend?)
Hello.
- You don't need to escort male guests. / - No.
(Kim Eunseong)
(Desperate)
(I'm here)
He was looking at SEVENTEEN members desperately.
You're not going to come greet me?
His eyes looked desperate.
How often does your friend call you?
He wakes up at 2 p.m.
- At 2? / - Yes. At 2 p.m.
My classes start at 6 p.m.
He continuously calls until then.
I have class, student government, club activities.
Sure. You have club activities, too.
But he keeps calling me.
"Can't we go play games together?"
"Cancel that event.
I'll pay for the costs."
We also have a dinner meeting afterwards.
He kept calling me so
I went to a nearby internet cafe and
played 2 rounds.
- Then you went back to the meeting? / - Yes.
(He's harassed by his friend's call all day)
Can't you just ignore his calls?
If I don't answer, I have about 20 missed calls.
He calls until I answer.
My classes end around 11 p.m.
He texts, "Let's meet up near your school."
He's very passionate.
Do you actually play games together?
Yes. That's the only way he'll leave me alone.
If not, he'll come back the next day.
Impressive.
It'd be nice if he comes just to play games.
But all he brings is his bus card.
(No way...)
He asks me to pay for the internet cafe.
He should be the one to pay since he asked.
That's not all.
We have to play until dawn.
Oh, until dawn.
He asks to play until then.
- The game where you get chicken for winning? / - Yes.
That game is the source of the problem.
Our members play that all day, too.
So we have to play for over 10 hours.
The internet cafe fee is about $10.
We get hungry, so we have to eat.
I can't let him stare while I eat,
so I end up paying $30 for both of us.
Doesn't your friend go to school?
He's taking some time off from school.
He bought a gaming computer for his home.
He stays at home all day playing the game.
- He orders things like hamburgers. / - That's bad.
So he gained 17lbs in just 2-3 weeks.
- Who did? / - My friend.
I'm living my life fully.
Did he really call your girlfriend?
We hadn't been dating long.
It was on our second date or so.
Your second date?
- That's terrible. / - He's so brazen.
He should be more respectful.
He really is a nuisance.
She wanted to try out the game herself, too.
So she and my friends played together.
With that friend?
We made a group chat room.
When you all first met together?
That's how he found out her number.
She didn't give it to him on her own?
We were on a date and being lovey-dovey.
- Lovey-dovey? / - Yes.
What is that exactly?
(What is being lovey-dovey?)
Tell us.
Tell us what being lovey-dovey is exactly.
Is it what I'm imagining?
People could misunderstand you.
It was on their second date.
What kind of lovey-dovey are you imagining?
How many dates isn't too important.
Tell us what being lovey-dovey is exactly.
Many older people are watching this program, too.
Tell us, SEVENTEEN.
What's being lovey-dovey?
Looking at each other in a cafe.
- Being affectionate. / - Yes.
Drinking from the same straw.
It's upsetting if you get a call then.
He said, "I can't get in touch with him.
I really want to play the game right now.
Can't you let him go just today?"
- Did she let you go? / - No.
Then she said, "Your friend is crazy."
I like your girlfriend.
He isn't a professional game player, right?
No. He sucks at it.
(Even though he plays 10 hours a day?)
He plays 10 hours a day and he sucks.
He really is a nuisance.
Let's meet the friend now. Hello.
Hello.
He's skinny.
You said he gained 17lbs?
Yes.
It's good that he gained some weight.
He's very handsome.
He has a nice smile.
He looks like an idol singer.
Women here were angry when Eunseong said
he pays for everything. But after seeing
the friend, they're like, "That's understandable."
(Don't be fooled by his smile)
Do you understand your friend's concern?
I don't understand.
Why not?
We're young in our 20s.
We should be enjoying life by doing what we want.
It's because you're only doing that.
People around this age do spend that much
time on doing what they like.
It'd be okay if you do it alone,
but you're dragging your friend into it, too.
When I call, he acts like he doesn't like it.
But he actually does like it.
What?
Then he wouldn't be here today.
He says no, but I know that he enjoys it.
That's why I call him.
So you play the game for more than 10 hours?
I get up around 2-3 p.m.
Then I play until 5-6 in the morning.
I do play for long hours.
You can't do that if you return to school.
That's why I am thinking.
I lose my time because I have to take classes.
Lose time? That's what you're supposed to do.
He says classes will take away his time.
- His priorities have changed. / - Yes.
Then why don't you take money with you?
Right.
I do have a conscience.
I borrow money from friends at times.
You borrow money because you have a conscience?
Has he paid you back?
No, not yet.
So you did lend him money?
I'm proud of myself for getting a part-time job.
Oh, we're so proud.
He's proud of himself for doing that.
I'm not earning a lot of money,
so I can't pay everything back right away.
But!
I do plan to pay it back in installments.
Has he repaid you a large portion of it?
Uh...
Part of it?
He is, but it's taking a long time.
He said that you even called his girlfriend.
That day, I was playing so well.
With a supporter, I thought I could set a record.
I was doing so well. So I called her and
I asked her very politely.
"I am playing so well today.
Could you please let him play with me today?"
Do you live by yourself?
No. I live with my parents.
Don't your parents oppose you playing games?
They don't care anymore.
I have a brother who's a junior in high school.
He's the No. 1 student in his class,
so my mom is more focused on him now.
They've given up on you?
No. I'm just a free soul.
(Shake shake)
What else made you angry?
One time, I had many events occur at once
and I overworked myself.
I laid in bed sick for 5 days.
I was asleep and he called.
"The best way to get better is to play the game.
Just trust me and join me."
To be honest,
it's ridiculous for a man to say
he can't play games because he's sick.
That's a dangerous remark!
If you are too sick, you can't play games.
If he was really sick,
he would've refused to come out.
He went because he wasn't that sick?
Sure. He enjoys playing the game, too.
I'm curious.
Why do you insist on playing it with him?
Can't you play with other people?
It's a 2-person game.
We play against 2 strangers.
We team up and scheme.
"This is my first time playing."
You lie to the opponents?
I ask them for advice and
end up getting 5, 10 kills.
When we win, I tell them,
"That was my first victory."
It's very thrilling.
But why do you insist on playing it with him?
Unbelievable!
Why do you have to play it with him?
He's the best partner that I could ask for.
If he really doesn't want to play
and you really enjoy playing it,
couldn't you find someone else who enjoys it?
It has to be Eunseong.
(He's so selfish)
This is...
- Why? / - This is a concern.
(Please let me go...)
We have great teamwork.
So you're saying that when you pretend to be bad,
- he goes along with it well? / - Yes.
He likes you because you go along with his plays.
- Is this really your concern? / - Yes.
Then why do you enjoy and do what he asks you to?
Why do you let him control you?
It was just a round or two out of many.
I don't really go along with anything.
Don't even go along for a round or two!
Do you think you both have great teamwork?
- You think you two have great teamwork? / - With him?
No, not really.
I just pretend to.
Why do you pretend?
Does he not have other friends?
He has other friends, right?
We can mostly see him online
but not usually face-to-face.
On my birthday,
he was supposed to buy the cake.
He came 3-4 hours late.
We called to see why he was late.
He came and told us that
he got a new best score in Overwatch.
He asked us to congratulate him.
On your birthday? What about the cake?
He didn't bring one.
He forgot about it.
He forgot the cake because of the game?
On his birthday, we threw him
a very luxurious party.
Don't do that for him.
But he forgot about your cake?
You should've been there on time with a cake
if that was your job.
You got caught up playing the game?
Anyone who plays games would know.
I set my best record that day.
It was the biggest event for me.
You didn't care about the cake.
Is that a bigger deal to you?
Or is his birthday a bigger deal to you?
His birthday will come again next year, but...
(Is he really a friend?)
But my best score won't come back next year.
(Take this!)
So your best score is more important to you?
But you must've remembered the cake.
You could've bought one even when you were late.
I thought about what to do and
decided to just go join them without buying one.
Didn't you think to keep your promise?
That's not important to you?
When I meet up with my friends,
I'm never there on time.
Why?
You're proud of that?
Why is that?
I always say,
"The star always arrives last."
(He's good with words...)
He should apologize for being late.
I always say that and arrive late.
That's the worst.
Our friends are all used to it now.
What? What friend would accept that?
They're just tolerating it.
We have another friend here. Hold the mic, please.
Hello.
Hello.
He looks really nice.
Does he beg you to play games with you?
I got to know him by playing games.
He doesn't beg me to play with him.
He calls and I join him.
It's a team game,
but he always goes off by himself.
After asking you to join him?
It doesn't feel like we're playing together.
Why do you go off by yourself then?
It's a team game, so you should move as a team.
In movies, the main character...
It's an illness.
This is serious.
He always wants to be the star.
I like achieving things by myself.
Then play the game by yourself.
Then I get lonely.
(I oppose this friendship!)
But you like going off by yourself.
They get to win a lot if they play with me.
(Is this the end of our friendship?)
What upsets you the most?
He's too busy playing games to hang out with me.
Even if he does come out,
he just leaves to play games again.
And all he talks about is games when we meet.
I want to talk to him about life and concerns.
All he cares about is playing games.
Your friends seem to be upset by that.
They are not losers
who would get upset by something so trivial.
Your friend is saying that he's upset.
So he's a loser if he's upset?
They're here because they are upset.
So he's a loser if he's upset?
Being upset doesn't mean they're losers.
You mean your friendship is stronger than that?
Yes. That's right.
You made it sound better.
(I hate you!)
I want to attack him.
I'm shocked.
Men can maintain friendships this way?
No, not at all.
We hate people who don't keep their word.
This is a peculiar case.
I just don't understand.
If he upsets you, just don't hang out with him.
Right. Don't be friends.
Why do you hang out with him
and get upset by him?
He doesn't like me because of what I have.
I felt like he likes me for who I am.
That's why I know that it's his life,
but I want to try to guide him the right way.
He keeps saying YOLO,
but I want him to live his life with a plan.
Like investing money I lend him into a game company.
- But all he does is play games. / - Right.
Are you grateful that he's concerned about you?
Or do you think it's not his place to do so?
I'm grateful, but...
He doesn't have to worry about you?
I do have a plan, so...
(What kind of plan?)
He doesn't have to worry about me.
What plans do you have?
I'm planning to stream games online.
Like a one-person thing?
I don't play games just to have fun.
I've done some streams on social media
and told people how to enjoy the game,
how to be good at it,
how to...
Make someone pass away.
- How kill others? / - Yes.
I do have my own plan as I play games.
You say that you're pursuing your own dream.
That's great, but if he doesn't want to play,
you should know to respect that if you're his friend.
You only think about yourself and keep calling.
That's what he doesn't like.
Just don't do that.
Do you know what concerns your friend has?
Do you know what his dream is?
Do you know how many people are in his family?
And you call yourself his friend?
We are friends.
- I know what he wants to be. / - What?
He wants to become a rapper.
- Is that so? / - Yes.
Beat, please.
(Embarrassed)
Rap for us.
Look around at the mood and see
if you should change your dream.
Let's hear it.
I want to hear it.
Rap, please.
- Do it? / - Give him the beat.
(Beat)
♪ I keep contemplating ♪
♪ We go all in ♪
♪ For a dream that I can sacrifice myself for ♪
(He's good)
♪ Let's go back to when we were born ♪
(Oh, the rhythm)
(Shoulders are bouncing up and down)
♪ I contemplate and repent every night ♪
(Bravo)
That was great.
Did you just do a freestyle rap
about "Hello Counselor"?
Yes.
You're a genius.
That was so good.
Have you heard him rap before?
Yes.
This wasn't the first time.
(What a relief)
That was good.
He can't put up with you begging anymore.
Your valuable friends who love you
may leave you.
If you keep this up.
If you don't keep your word.
That would be heartbreaking.
That's true.
You can't find another friend like him!
He's a rare friend that you don't see often.
You have to cherish this friendship
for the rest of your life.
If you continue to make ridiculous requests
just because you enjoy being with him
and because he goes along with you,
that friendship will end.
Just remember that.
What would you like to say to him?
Figure out when it is okay to call
and when it is not.
When I want to play, I'll call you first.
Wait for me to call and let's have fun.
I hope you live a good life with a plan.
I'm not just saying this for you.
I'm saying this out of worry for
your future wife and kids. Okay?
He's a true friend.
Let's start with Gilgu.
I'm sure the friend learned a lot today.
I think it was a great story.
I think it's a concern.
The closer you are, the more care you should give.
I hope you two care about each other more.
I don't think it's a concern.
I think the submitter needs to be
a bit more strong-willed.
The problem is just you're just too nice.
Right.
He came here today because he wants
his friend to change the way he lives his life.
They had a good opportunity to talk today,
so I feel like everything ended amicably.
If you think it's a concern for him,
please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Please stop.
A word to your friend, please.
I finally realize how you must've felt.
Now I know what I did wrong.
But...
I just love playing games too much.
I won't call you as much anymore.
I love you.
How cute.
He said that he loves him.
That's going to soften him up now.
Let's see the result.
Please show us the result.
The last digit is a 3.
Did they get over 100 votes?
Yes.
- 113? / - 123?
113!
(They got 113 votes)
