It's titled "Please Give Up!"
Hello. I'm fifth grader Eom Ye-eun,
and I must act every day.
"You practiced, right? Show me."
"Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?"
"Again!"
"Why are you doing this to me?"
"Again!"
"Why are you doing this to me?"
"Again!"
"That's not the right emotion!"
"Did you practice? You can't be an actress that way."
I practice acting with my dad every day.
But I don't want to become an actress at all.
(A mental breakdown for all emcees and guests)
"You must become an actress."
"That's your fate."
"Didn't I tell you to sit up straight?"
"You will become a star in the future."
"You shouldn't slouch like that."
We should sit up straight.
"I told you not to smile like that."
"Don't show your teeth. Slightly curl up your lips."
"Try smiling again."
My dad's been teaching me since I was eight.
"I got a new car. Ta-da!"
"A van that celebrities ride."
"You'll be a star someday. You must ride in a van."
Why is my dad like this?
I really don't want to become an actress.
Please talk my dad out of it.
Let's hear her out.
Please come on out.
(Eom Ye-eun)
Please introduce yourself.
Hello. I'm stressed out by my dad.
I'm 10... I mean 5... I mean...
Are you lying about your age already?
Because you're going to become a star?
I'm fifth grader Eom Ye-eun.
(She's pretty)
You said you're taking acting classes.
Have you ever been on TV?
I've only gotten small roles.
KBS drama "My Dear Cat."
SBS drama "Ugly Duckling."
I was in "Ugly Duckling."
(Ha ha)
(You don't recognize me?)
You didn't see him on "Ugly Duckling"?
You didn't see me on the drama?
No.
(Oh, gee!)
You didn't?
He was one of the main stars in the drama.
I'll work harder.
Why don't you want to become an actress?
My dad got me started when I was seven years old.
His dream was to become an actor.
He wants me to fulfill his dream.
He's forcing you to act?
Yes. He wants me to become an actress.
I can see your dad sitting in front of us.
(We can feel the force)
I can feel a strong force from him.
He looks like a young Seol Undo.
You've been doing it for five years now.
Why do you want to quit all of a sudden?
Dad forced me to act in the first place.
I've been taking acting classes in Gangnam,
and I live in Songdo.
You're lucky that wide roads have been built.
- Since when? / - Since I was eight.
And?
I'm tired of traveling back and forth.
He's also making me learn swimming and piano.
Because they'll improve your acting skills?
Yes, that's right. (I'm his acting Avatar!)
He teaches me how to act now.
He isn't so good?
That's right.
He teaches me how to act.
He gives me a long script to memorize.
He yells at me if I don't memorize it.
He makes me express different emotions.
If he's busy, he checks if I've practiced via text.
- You must videotape yourself? / - Yes.
- By acting whatever you want? / - Yes.
If I don't send it, he yells at me.
There was a time
when I wanted to quit acting, too. When I was young.
I told my parents that I wanted to quit,
and they immediately told me to do so.
Have you ever told your parents
that you'd rather play with your friends?
I did, but he didn't listen.
He told me that I've done so well until now,
and that I shouldn't quit now. He got so angry
that I pretend to enjoy acting now.
(She must've been scolded a lot)
What is your dream?
I want to become an elementary school teacher.
That's not bad.
Do you get good grades?
No.
(I can't pretend that I do)
Why do you want to become a teacher?
My teacher sang as she played piano.
Watching her made me want to become a teacher.
You speak so eloquently.
You have such a beautiful head.
It's nice. It's the shape of an egg.
If you don't want to act, you can't succeed.
Let's talk to her father now.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
Hello.
I'm quite shocked.
You really bought a van?
Yes, I did.
Not a big van that top stars ride.
One that average celebrities would ride.
Average celebrities?
Who are they?
We must be divided into top and average stars.
That's the van I ride. I'm an average celebrity?
- Average! / - Average.
My car is worse than that!
KBS sends cars to our guests.
But he insisted on driving his own van here.
They came in their own van.
You didn't know she hated acting so much
that she wrote to us?
- I didn't know. / - Not at all.
Our Ye-eun loves acting.
She's too young, so she doesn't know
what she wants. She wants to play with her friends.
That's what I think.
You think she likes acting?
Yes, very much. She's good.
You wore that bow tie on purpose, right?
I always dress like this.
He's quite fashionable.
He looks quite attractive, too.
I understand why his dream was to be an actor.
He likes to hear compliments.
Please stand up for us.
He's dressed very well.
He looks like he'll come up on stage and sing.
Ye-eun.
Your dad just said you like acting.
You told him you do.
I was scared when he yelled at me,
so I lied and said I liked acting.
You even lied?
You must really be good if he fell for that lie.
How much did you yell at her, that she lied to you?
She told me she wanted to quit out of the blue.
I was flustered, so I ended up yelling at her.
Then I had an argument with my wife.
We raised our voices,
and I think that scared Ye-eun.
(I hate acting, but I pretended to like it)
Excuse me, but how old are you?
I'm young.
I'm 39 years old.
- He looks really young. / - You look young.
You're not that old.
You should go to auditions yourself.
I did.
(My mouth is getting dry)
Do you still go to auditions? Which auditions?
I used to go to auditions with my wife in the past,
but it didn't work out for me.
- You don't try anymore? / - Not anymore.
I have three kids. I must earn money to raise them.
Then you should understand.
This isn't something you can force on someone.
She's young and can have dreams of her own.
Why are you forcing this on her?
I really want to know.
She's really good at acting.
We got that.
Is she good relative to you?
When she was a baby,
she would dance by herself.
But she was too shy to perform in front of people.
So I took her to take acting classes.
They hold an exam once a year.
She won first place out of 300 to 400 students.
She really won first place.
We got that. But listen.
She's good, but she doesn't like doing it.
Then you shouldn't force her.
She's still too young.
She doesn't know what's right for her.
She should know that.
Let me ask you this.
Were you happy when you won first place?
- No. / - Why not?
It's something forced that I don't enjoy doing.
So I wasn't happy.
Did you ever consider supporting her
when she decides herself that she wants to do it?
Why must you force it on her now?
Listen to me.
She's really good.
We get that.
Stop repeating the same thing.
She says she hates acting.
You hate it?
(Ha ha ha ha)
He's so interesting.
Answer your dad.
I hate it.
(His eyes are wandering)
Will you accept her opinion?
No.
Why do you insist that she start now?
It's less competitive for children
compared to older actors.
She used to be a shy girl.
After she started her classes, she became less shy.
Then she doesn't have to take classes anymore.
But she's really good.
Seriously!
Think about it this way.
How many actors have succeeded in becoming
a top star after starting as a child?
Kim Hyesu.
Kim Hyesu.
(Who else is there?)
Why are you repeating after us?
Fewer than five stars started out young.
But there are so many actors out there.
They didn't start from childhood.
Did you know her dream is to become a teacher?
I'm hearing that for the first time.
You never even asked her.
(He didn't know what her real dream was)
She takes acting classes.
Why do you tutor her as well?
Taking classes isn't enough. That's why.
Wait! Right on the spot!
Why don't you act for us?
Something you're most confident with.
Why don't you act together with him?
(We're curious to see how good you are)
He's a professor of dramatic performance.
You can act whatever you want.
Something you auditioned with in the past.
- Ye-eun, want to show them? / - No. You!
I can't act. I only teach.
How can you teach if you can't act?
You said you went to auditions before.
Show us.
That was 20 years ago.
See?
I'm older now, so I teach.
Can you show us your acting skills?
It can be something very short.
- Okay. / - Go ahead.
- I can do whatever I want? / - Yes.
(Her eyes change)
What are you doing?
You hate that someone gave me this stupid doll?
What have you ever done for me?
- I'll stop here. / - That was so good.
What was wrong with her acting?
What part did she do wrong?
I thought she was talking to her father at first.
What part did she do wrong?
She's so talented.
What part of her acting was wrong?
Good job.
What?
Does he usually say you did a good job?
No.
He points out what I did wrong.
That's why she doesn't want to do it.
What do you usually point out to her?
She's good at everything else,
but she isn't so good at crying.
Do you know why?
You don't, right?
Her emotions...
No.
It's because she doesn't want to do it.
We asked you to act,
and you refused.
You ask her to cry, and she's refusing.
That's what it is.
Of course she doesn't want to be forced.
What do you think of when you have to cry?
I think of something sad, but it's hard to cry.
What do you think of?
Mom dying.
Why do you make her do such a thing?
I think I've thought of that 3,000 times.
I'm serious. I've killed my mom 3,000 times.
At this age, it's hard to think of something sad.
They've never gone through a breakup or anything.
So all she can think of is her mom dying.
I'd like to ask you this.
If your dad compliments you on your acting,
do you think you'll come to like acting?
No.
She really hates doing it.
Her heart is completely closed.
Let's meet her mother, who has died many times.
Let's meet her mother.
