A 15 year old daughter that has to go to the hairdresser after school [Hello Counselor / 2017.05.29] 

shes so convinced that shes right. this is basically child abuse and it makes me so mad. instead of resolving this on the show itself maybe they should consult social services? she's an unfit mother. its agonizing

Her daughter deserves a better mother

Girl: "what am I talking about?!" *slaps herself* Everyone else: *PARENT MODE*

"I struggle more than her" You're a mother! That's your job! My mom puts me first than anything even tho shes a single mother! This woman doesn't deserve to be a parent, a parent that tries to play the victim when theres a situation with their child is not really mature enough

Not surprised why her former employee left.

this lady.. she digs her own grave every time she speaks...

Lol I can't stop laughing when she said "I don't she's lying through her teeth"

i just kept wondering about how awkward it was as they go home after this

i mean if it was just having her daugther come in for 30-60 minutes to fold the towels for the day then that'd be fine but there's no reason for her to spend 8+ hours there every day????

Yes children should be disciplined and help out around the house. But this woman is seriously just taking advantage of her own daughter, and she doesn't even think she is wrong. She is on this show digging her own grave.

Y’all definitely know she got whooped when she got home

Presenter: Do you make your son work too? Mum: No, he’s in Highschool. Honestly this made me very upset for the girl, I’m not sure what country it is but it’s the same for most of Asia especially in Japan and Korea for the male children to be favoured. I feel a lot of empathy for this young girl, her future is more than working in a salon. Her mother is exploiting her own daughter for cheap labour, childhood are our most vulnerable and important years. Many mental traumas we gave during adulthood stem for childhood. Your daughter has all the time to be an adult when the time comes, but she only has 19 years of being a teen, or as some may even say 18. Let her be a child, let her be a teen because it’s very limited compared to adulthood and you only get one experience. She needs to be mixing with her peers, going to eat out with her friends and going to the park and not worrying about only have an hour or two to spend with them, and even then she might not go out with her friends altogether since she is so tired from being worked. I hope the daughter put her foot down, but I really doubt it in Asian societies. South Korea has especially come a long way do not get me wrong, but they still have major issues with gender, plastic surgery, and overworked idols. “She can’t win against me” I can’t believe the words coming out this “mother’s” mouth. Families shouldn’t be competing it’s extremely toxic and needs to STOP. What is this? A game of who deserves more pity? I used to have the same with my mother but under different context, she used to compete with my body and say things like “My waist is really small, but you have broader shoulders like Amanda (her sister)” and it’s a very harmful environment for young girls to deal with any competing whether it be with body, or pity etc My heart goes out to her! ❤️

may i say that the girl is so beautiful.

I hate it when her mother always smile and laugh when the hosts are giving a proper advice and defending the girl, there isn't even a funny thing about what they say 😒😒 I mean she is not taking the advices seriously and just laughs it off.

this woman acts as if her and her daughter are equals. yes, you do have it harder than her, thats how its supposed to BE. you're the mom and you're supposed to raise her and offer her a stable home and a fun childhood so that she grows up well before she goes off on her own. this made me so mad bc how is she going to expect her young daughter to do all the things she does, on top of all the household chores, AND do well in school and study as well? that lady is sitting on her ass watching TV while she works her daughter like a slave. 100% not okay and the fact that she's laughing tells me that she doesn't understand the severity of the situation.

I can just tell the mom is lying.. she gives me a weird feeling.

“Menopause beats puberty” lady you dont have active hormones anymore. Your daughter is a teen full of now active hormones bc she’s growing. Tell me how menopause beats puberty???

i can't understand why the mother is too persistent to defend herself while everyone in the show is already trying to say that she's completely wrong and heartless.

Of course she doesn't work all day, she has to study and revise, if you don't want an employee, you don't force your daughter to work for no reason. Just because you get stressed out doesn't mean you can't work alone.

sometimes, I wonder, after the shows, what happens? does the mother hit her for exposing her?

I'd be scared to go home after this

I'm seeing all sorts of red flags with this woman. The biggest ones probably being that she sees her own problems as more important than her children's problems ("menopause beats puberty"), and she feels like her daughter is somehow competition ("she can't win against me"). As someone who grew up with an abusive parent, and has been in multiple abusive friendships, these are things that make me yell at everyone to stay as far away from this woman as possible.

So basically the mum didn’t wanna keep paying for an employee so gets her daughter to do it and uses being a mother as an excuse.

I've never appreciated my parents (mom) more than after watching this video -all i have to is vacuum and sometimes help clean the kitchen.

The mother is a real life stepmother in cinderella

to me it seems like some Korean moms don't like their daughters as much as their sons.

I wonder what happened after the show when they got home😧 oh God

She is like Cinderella but the “step” sisters is brothers but I’m sure her brother felt bad

"When children don't work, they don't appreciate their parents' hard work" GEE I DIDN'T KNOW SITTING ON YOUR PHONE AND WATCHING TV IS HARD WORK. This ain't a mom, it's a boss, she deserves a better mother. That girl is just a child and needs room to grow like a normal kid. It's fine to make your kid so some chores here and there and maybe work for about an hour, but to spend 8+ hours is just fucking crazy. This is basically child abuse.

The mom basically makes her daughter work because getting someone else would mean she had to pay them at least minimum wage. She's obviously being manipulative in her twisting the truth and claiming to be the victim. The daughter is clearly scared of her. The mom is forcing far too much work on the daughter (not to mention the bs of not forcing the sons to have a share in the work) while being idle. This maybe because she wasn't allowed to work when she was younger and isn't used to having to do work but it's still unacceptable behaviour. And she then controls her kids from going out? Someone please get this woman some help and give these kids some proper care

"he's in high school" TAEJOONS FACE LMAO

At 6:30 I said out loud: "That's right girl, you tell them!"

"When children don't work they don't appreciate their parents' hard work." Girl u were just watching tv and sitting while ur daughter do all the work 😂🙄 srsly also it's not fair for ur daughter cuz She can't even play with her friends.

i wonder what fate she will face once they back home...

When i watched this i accidentally cursed this "so called mom" and my mom heard that and scolded me for calling a elder woman like that and i showed her the video then my mother started cursing her and said i don't think you were wrong.. lol.I felt my mother is one of the most beautiful and strong, independent woman i have ever seen.. she is a single parent who take care of me. She don't even allow me to go for part time job even when i insisted because she thinks it affects my studies. I am happy and proud of her. I realised how lucky i am to have a helping & loving mom when i saw this video. I am scared for that girl, i know my comment is late, but still.i wish they show a video of her present life

I hope the girl is doing well after the show, hopefully her mother won’t blame her for consulting this on TV

Bruh the mother doesn't see that she's wrong,poor kid.😥

How does this kid pass classes? Does she not have homework? I had hours of homework, but at least I was able to relax & do my own thing for a couple hrs. :/

She shouldn’t be comparing her life with her children’s. My mom does that too sometimes but the thing is we lived in different times, and standards are different, learning styles are different, life is different. Just because you worked at a market when you were young doesn’t mean your children can handle it or work at a market when they are that young.

1:46 I love how everyone went *parent mode*

I'm so glad that the mother was exposed on this show. Koreans are brutal at telling the truth and i'm pretty sure everyone of her customers/people are chewing the mom out if they saw the show. Anyone know any follow up on this story?

The little girl is so pretty, do well in school and go succeed further in life than your mom lol

if I was the daughter's friend I would go to the hair salon and help her while chatting with her

It’s always hard when a sibling gets special treatment, esp when it seems gender based. In addition, the mom acts like she is in competition with the daughter, therefore trying to make her suffer. Idk though, just seems strange and sad.

I hate when young women go through puberty and people love to say this is the phase when they start complaining about everything, which is false. they are growing up so as they are seeing things differently some will start to voice their concerns of what they do and do not like. therefore this young girl is valid in her complaints. i hate when people make it sound like young women whine for no reason when her mother an older woman is mean asf. how she treats her daughter is the exact reason why children would run away, be depressed & possibly attempt/commit suicide.

"menopause beats puberty" that's an actual thing people believe?

2:47 Choi Tae- Joon’s face when she said dead pigeon

She enjoyed her life but she isnt letting her daughter enjoy her life.

She's so adorable. I would love to have her as my sister or daughter. She's also so sweet and hardworking. Kids like her are hard to find nowadays. I hope her mom realizes she's raising an angel and lets her live her life.

The ladies reaction on the right hand side at 5:44 is priceless

the mom is a narcissist and it’s so sad that whenever the daughter points out a problem she gaslights her by comparing her struggles to diminish her daughters. If she continues to do shit like this i don’t think she’ll have a good relationship with her daughter and will probably be cut off once she becomes an adult. i understand the daughter so much i hope she can get a better environment soon

5:43 that girl's facial expression LOLXD i can't...

She's like the Korean Matilda and Cinderella and her mums the step mother

I seriously don't get it, she wouldn't make her sons do any of this. I seriously cannot stand parents that think their sons should not do what they make their daughters do.

When she was biased towards her sons it mad me pissed since I'm also a girl.

bro the thing that stresses me the most and makes me sad is that she has to do everything while the sons don’t do anything like even basic household chores, it makes me so sad and angry Sorry for my bad English

now i feel thankful to have my mom as a mom tbh, my mom is like angel to compare with this cruel mom

LOL i lost it when she slapped herself bcs i always do the same thing as well XD

aigoo.. my mom never lets me out either, if she does theres always a grownup watching. my sister has a year until she graduates and shes only been to a friends' house once or twice in her life. we all do chores and have been since we turned 10. but work? she never forces us to work! if her mom wanted to set an example with working, at least clean beside her when you can! wouldnt that be more efficient, too? she can feel less bad when her mom is doing it with her! "i do more than what she does so she shouldnt complain" you're SUPPOSED to do more than her. you're her mom AND more than twenty years older than her. are you saying kids and old adults should be doing the same things? you can't have a child without expecting to help them out with simple things like buying them school supplies.

She’s my new bias in an unborn girl group

in some western countries that mother can be jailed. its downright child slavery.

I hope she gets scouted to become a model or an idol. That way, as a trainee she can live away from this unhealthy home. She's so hardworking, beautiful, kind and humble.

She’s now 17 I wonder what happened to her!?!

5:43 lets remember this lejindary woman 😔✊🏼

My mom's a hairdresser and over the years I've spent some time in the various salons she's worked at. When I'm there I sweep the floor, fold towels, and one time I even helped apply color to a client - but I never did this on a regular basis and she didn't make me do nearly as much as this poor girl. I rarely go to the salon anymore now that I'm in high school and I hope this poor girl doesn't either.

I actually yelled when the girl slapped herself

the fact that the girl handled the situation more maturely than the mother really says something

ㄹㅇ 이 대사 그대로네 호의가 계속되면 그게 권리인 줄 알아요

I feel so sorry for this girl, she wanted to help her mother from the kindness of her heart and now her mother is abusing her kindheartedness :(

Her mom is so cruel! She doesn't even feel sorry. Her daughter does almost everything in the salon. But she has to do the household! She is a crazy mom! You can ask your daughter's help sometimes. But DON'T exploit her. You are so mean! I feel so sorry for her daughter. She is a kind and smart girl.

4:15 HIS LITTLE EYEROLL THO

My heart breaks for that young girl. I've no idea why everyone was laughing when the mum kept digging a hole for herself. It just kept making me angrier. I pray this young girl has a lot more freedom now and can focus on herself and have fun!! Gahh

uhhhhhhh my mom works as a dress maker and a mother as well. she's like a "single mom" of 4 children since my dad is always away for work. she does all household chores too. as kids she let us play a lot. I am very thankful and will always be proud of my mom. so whenever I feel tired or unmotivated to work and do household chores and do errands... I just thought of my mom and say "this is nothing compared to what my mom has done."

You know when you're watching too much 'Hello Counselor' when your Mom speaks to you and English sounds like gibberish.

I understand 100% OMG. My mom is a hairdresser and everyday I have to go to the salon and the spa room (it's in my house) and clean so I can't be with friends that much.

Omma needs to hire an employee. When the little girl said, “she’s lying through her teeth” I am like “yep.” I wouldn’t want my daughter exposed to chemicals in the shop at such a young age.

Her mom is really trying to no reason with her and that really irritates me . Also the little girl is absolutely gorgeous .

Again.. daughter has to do everything and it's her job and she is supposed to do them while sons don't have to do anything as they are busy with school. As if the daughter is not studying at all. sigh.

This is so frustrating to watch honestly... she's just 14

The level of moral unawareness of this lady is staggering.

The laws in S.Korea are so old, if this happened in Europe or USA, the child could get an emancipation and the mother would go to jail. I know that she's her mother, but in our actual society this things cannot be tolerated anymore, she doesn't see her child as a mother, she sees her child as a worker, and she has the view that her child has to return all her efforts of growing her working free for her. Such a disgusting mother, when the daughter will hit 19, I don't think that she'll be kind to her mother, and she'll regret it for being such a jerk to her self children. Or maybe not and she'll just continue his hair salon perm business, and forget about her. I'm so sorry for this children... The authorities should do something about it...

Am I the only one wondering how she can study correctly, focus on her schoolwork and get good grades while doing all this work ? she is fifteen, she is supposed to study hard, not to spend all her time working like an underpaid exploited employee ! I am going to be a mother and I certainly would never ask my children to do that, especially at an age when they are supposed to study.

I'm trying _so_ hard not to burst from this woman's thought process. The child needs a _proper_ teenage-life, I could not bare with that amount of work. GOD, am I more grateful than ever.

Roy Kim's reaction at 9:41 says it all

The two customers are really attractive holy crap (I thought they were her sons lol)

This show looks pretty cool. Is it just for helping teens? The stage looks so comfy and welcoming. That mom on the other hand... Wow...just wow. That poor girl.

her accent is so cute awwww

despite the ruthless situation, SHE IS SO FREAKIN ADORABLE!!! SOOOO FREAKIN CUTEEEE

If it wasn't ramadhan, i would have written the worst comment here. but im gonna stay calm

Doesn't she know her responsibility as a mother ?

The way she basically said my struggles outweighs hers so she shouldn’t complain is unsettling to say the least. YOUR THE MOM, that’s your job bruh

1:48 omg that kid is so cute cause she just slap her face

i honestly want to know what her brothers has to say about this, their face looks like they really pity her idk

what the fuuck..? in Germany where I live, the girl would be taken away from the mother by the government immediately! and the mother would probably end up in jail or something. this is slavery. I think it's important that kids help their parents a bit with something like doing the dishes or doing the laundry or walking the dog, but THIS is nothing compared to what is good for a kid. her mom is not only distroying her free time, but also their relationship, the girls social life, her body (for example the chemicals) and probably also her school career. parenting done great....😒 that girl will leave her home as soon as she can and never ever come back. (hopefully)

This is my favourite episode, I might sound evil but I keep watching it idk why

the mum should hug her for doing an awesome job and more approachable like best friend to her and emphasize with her. The brothers should come and help out also and not she is alone....so sad.......

If she will have her daughter work in their salon she should have her sons work in there too. It's bad enough that the daughter do all of the works from their salon to their home -- being forbade to hang out with friends, be a teenager and enjoy her youth was worst. Bad parenting, look at the daughter, she's too skinny, the food she ate went down fast bcos she has to 'work' and do the household. It's really bad when a kid started helping a parent and be exploited --then blamed for volunteering.

No fun and only work really can damage a kid mentally. Theyre not like adults. & theres a reason y child labor is illegal. also Its sad tht her friends dnt even ask her out as often anymore bc they alrdy know she cnt go. As someone who experienced this herself (not to the girl's extent but) its rlly stressful, sad & lonely (especially at a young age) The girl seems like a genuine kind kid (most kids these days dnt do shit to help ik bc I have younger siblings myself) not only tht but I feel like the mom is pretty biased. I mean, the brother doesnt even help @ all?? & hes the older sibling so tf

'I struggle more than her" why would u compare like that. Omg her mother.. I'm speechless.

5:43 bruh that women's face on the right had me dying
