‘Ask Me Anything’ host Seo Jang-hoon poured out life-changing advice to the sibling contestants.
In the the 7th broadcast of KBS JOY’s ‘Ask Me Anything,’ the contestant said, “I have been financially responsible for my younger brother for a long time, but I don’t know how much longer I can continue helping him. I wish he would get scolded. I worked in photography within the entertainment industry. In 2021, I decided to start my own business and resigned from my job. My younger brother, who was preparing for a civil service exam, proposed we go into business together, so we ended up running a photo studio.”
He continued, “However, after one year, my brother claimed he received investment and went independent. He got funding from an acquaintance and opened a place, but it failed within three months. It wasn’t that he didn’t try hard. After quitting, he said he would work in insurance. But his appendix burst and he contracted intestinal tuberculosis, so he quit after four months. There was about 40 million won in debt, which I settled for him.”
The contestant added, “My brother had nowhere else to go and couldn’t work under anyone else. Eventually, he came back under my care. I gave him part of the photo studio space and told him to run a self-service photo booth. Compared to the labor intensity, he earns quite well. He works 3–4 days a week with actual working hours of 2–5 hours, yet receives a base salary of 3 million won. Additionally, I give him up to 0.1 billion won monthly as an allowance.”
He even set up a claw machine room at a cost of 130 million won. In response, the younger brother explained, “While preparing for the civil service exam and working under my sister’s photo studio, I was grateful because I earned more than expected for the work. When I received investment, I tried my best but it didn’t work out. Now, every day I think about breaking free from my sister’s shadow and developing my own skills.”
Watching this, Seo Jang-hoon pointed out, “He’s really messing up.” He then said, “Your sister is tough. She has the style to pursue what she wants with determination. But you lack that grit on your face. As the eldest daughter, she had to carve her own path and live fiercely. You, as the youngest, were likely raised being treated as cute. Before discovering any special talent, you went under your sister’s wing. This shows you haven’t found a way to survive by facing the world.”
He continued, “It’s natural to feel gratitude and guilt toward your sister, but what about your future? What will happen if your sister gets married? You’re still messing up. Half of this situation is your sister’s responsibility. You don’t understand the value or concept of money earned through sweat; she simply gave it to you. You should learn from this, but if you don’t, life ahead will become difficult. Starting now, make her clock in at 9 a.m. and out no earlier than 6 p.m. If you’re truly grateful, help her. Learn one thing at a time. Once you realize the value of money on your own, start doing what you can do well.”
