Even if only tears are visible in your eyes, stories like this make life suddenly feel so empty. This is B14, it's big, really big. Where is Donghae, where is B13? Where is B13, B13, where is it? Hey, what am I doing here wandering around for 5 minutes? Even though Korean is written here, I still don't understand. I don't know, I really don't know. Is this about Platform 13? Who am I talking to? Suddenly, I feel like I need to study Japanese. Without realizing it, why do I keep thinking people should come this way? Right now, we are at the southern gate. Okay, let's go. Oh my, hello. Anyone who comes to Japan will know Shinjuku Station, right? Today, I'm planning to meet someone I've considered important for a long time. I'll ask about life from this person and seek some advice. Oh, I'm in the wrong place again. Gosh, am I a newcomer? My hands are frozen, and a place comes to mind.

Myeongdong Street just feels completely like Myeongdong. I was in a rural house in Australia, and when I come here, it's so chaotic. People who are usually busy may not know, but in the past, I used to do live broadcasts on African TV for more than 10 hours a day. Back then, I really did broadcasts with about five to ten viewers, but now, on our channel, all the old videos have been taken down. The system of African TV didn't quite suit me, so I switched to YouTube. I don't think I've ever appeared with African BJs. It's probably almost the first time in my videos. You know, even if you don't know other things, there are things like that. I really think that when I was having a hard time back then, the person who was there for me later established a position on YouTube to some extent, and I feel even more grateful now.

So, I was reminded of my older brother, and it's really been a long time since I've seen him. But why hasn't he come yet? Hasn't it been over an hour since he started his business? No, it's not just business. The phone suddenly rang urgently. Isn't that too much? How have you been? Are you living diligently? Why did the camera suddenly... Oh, sorry. Are you okay? Really, are you okay? It's been a long time since I met Minsung. Minsung, who does Africa and YouTube. It's been a few years now, right? But we've known each other for almost 4, 3 years. 2-3 years. 3 years. The brothers liked your face. They liked your face, right? Definitely. How are things going these days? It seems a bit tough these days. It's a bit tough, right? But there's a sense of value here too. But it's also because of Corona, right? It happened during Corona. It happened, right? It feels like it's coming out a bit more now.

I don't know the feeling here. Do you have a makeup bag? I'm not here. It's the same category. It's the same category. Oh, here. It's written in Korean. Brother, on that side, it's Korean. There are various types of food here. So, it's not just one thing inside. There are Hokkaido foods, Osaka foods, and Fukuoka foods. It's divided like this. It's fancy here. The division here is nice. They say it's a K-food. Even one thing... Brother, I think alcohol is much cheaper in Japan. Alcohol seems cheaper. Since we keep doing the show, we keep looking for the camera, you know? Brother, I was looking for the chat window. Oh, it was a bit funny. It was a bit funny. It was originally funny. Mentaiko, Mentaiko... What should I say? Chicken skin... I think everyone knows this. To fill in the bad parts.

I don't intentionally take up space, but it naturally comes out as a concept of occupying a seat in Japan, so if we say we won't eat, then we don't have to eat, right? No, no, but it feels like you have to come out and take a seat. It's almost everywhere, almost all the time. But because of this, it costs around 439 yen per person, so if you say you won't eat, it's just 9,000 won for us. So, in Korean culture, it's hard to understand, but in Japan, it's natural. If it comes out like 10,000 yen, 20,000 yen, it's a must. If it doesn't come out, it's a scam. They call it auto. They don't eat it, but it's inevitable. Oh, do you want to eat? Okay. Since we're in Japan, bye-bye. Hey, how much is it for you? Even when the camera turns, you still talk. We're a bit late now. You're good. You're different. When we meet in Japan, let's have a drink and enjoy ourselves.

It's good. Oh, really, really. Oh, our airline management. I've been dating a girl for almost two years now. Yeah, of course, that's natural. I haven't met a girl before. In Japan, girls like it when guys do things like this. Japanese guys don't do those things. I've heard that before, they don't do it. So, they don't. But I can understand all of this. Listening is ace. I've been working at an entertainment company called AD Entertainment for about 10 years now. AKB, AKB, the fan club AKB. I'm in a group that includes Sakura from IZ*ONE. AD, I guess. I don't know if I'm doing well. I don't know either. I'm older than you. I'm older than you. 88, 88, 8. Older sister. That's right. How's work going? Is Min-sung treating you well? Oh, he treats me really well. No, look at this again. Min-sei treats me well, right?

Hyung, you did really well, but you were a bit too much. Oh, it's really hard to deceive now. I've heard that story now. Now, Japanese people are slower in dating compared to Koreans. In Korea, when you start dating, you tend to share your daily life, but in Japan, even if you're dating, you meet only when necessary. Personally, they keep their personal matters to themselves. So, they hardly ever call each other. Japanese men don't make phone calls. Sometimes they call once every two weeks, or they mainly use messaging, and even then, they don't do it a lot. Some men do it a lot. Oh, so I heard this story that Japanese people cheat a lot. They probably have many opportunities to cheat. It seems likely. So, how about dating a Japanese man? When it comes to marriage, the man does this much, and the woman does this much. Oh, because here, the culture of buying a house is not that common, so they don't buy houses.

I don't buy it, I don't buy it. With that rent, then what? No rent, no deposit at all. No deposit at all. Isn't the deposit system only in Korea? Oh, I see. I understand. Men make money and women cook. It's similar in Korea. But even now, is Japan more patriarchal than Korea? I've done a lot of interviews. What is this? People say it's more patriarchal than expected. Giving everything to the husband. Japanese women don't seem to like challenging the reality much. That's right. Once they settle down realistically, they just feel comfortable and safe. It's like a concept of being content with marriage. There's a bit of Confucianism. Japan doesn't have that. Japan is a bit more open-minded. Not in a bad sense of open-minded, but if they like something, they don't care about age, job, or interference from parents much. It's not just between the two of us, but they talk about it with their families. Of course, Japan also.

There is that, yes, there is, but it is somewhat less than in Korea. So, what are Japanese people interested in these days? People in their 20s and 30s are living diligently these days, like let's work hard in the present. Part-time jobs make it possible to live as a part-timer. The minimum wage in Tokyo is 1080 yen. It seems cheaper than in Korea, right? For example, if you say you go to school in Shinjuku, Shibuya, etc., among the 8 districts, district 8 continues all the way to your house. Thirty years ago, canned coffee in Japan was in yen, but even now canned coffee is in yen. Yes, that's right. In Korea, back in the day, it was won for a cup of instant coffee when we were young, but Japan had a bubble at that time, so coffee was 100 yen back then and even now canned coffee is 100 yen. But starting in 2023, for the first time in four years.

In the bubble era, prices first exceeded 30 years ago, causing a real estate boom. It's either moving beyond the metropolitan area or going to rural areas where you can find unbelievably cheap or even free houses. There are houses like this, where the price difference is too extreme. When you turn 20, you must earn money. The culture of becoming independent after just graduating from high school is strong. It's not about independence; it's about being realistic. If you want to live independently, you have to pay rent. So, somehow, you have to start working part-time because you have to pay rent. From what age did you start working part-time, Kim Hyun-ji? Do you know Kim Hyun-ji? Oh, not Kim Hyun-ji? That's not allowed. What's the most challenging thing about living in Japan right now? Frankly, Japanese people get married quickly from the age of 20. Why do they ask about having babies? It's a bit... when I come to Japan...

I was surprised that in Korea, there is a bit of a stigma or hesitation about working in those kinds of places, like talking bars or similar places. But in Japan, it's clear that even university students or all kinds of friends work in those places and sometimes go on to work for talent agencies. I don't know how it will be perceived later on, but because I haven't been there, I think those places have a decent culture. Oh, right. In Japan, there are girls' bars, it feels like working in a cafe, right? From then on, Japanese people kind of think differently. Originally, the Korean Wave faded away and then it's coming back. It's like a witness of Shin Okubo. So, I'm asking, is it 50-50? In the past, when Dong Bang Shin Ki (TVXQ) and Rain were popular, back then, just being Korean was a brand. Oh, really. So, for example, even people who are not very attractive can look like Japanese models.

I used to brag, not now, not now. Now, I have a bit of immunity, so I'm doing well now. Japanese people are good-looking. The most difficult thing living in Japan was what? It's too analog. In Korea, when you hit the card, it's done in 5 minutes. At least it takes a week to do things quickly. There are many analog things like that. When companies go to recruit, they get a lot of stress. Oh, that day is a stressful day. Banks are strict and it's hard for foreigners to get a bank account. Even though the sales are good, despite the music, the boss does this. It's because the boss does it. Oh, controversy arises. This is now a center of luxury, so think of it as the Gangnam of Hanbok. There are no empty seats. Here, on this side, it's more crowded recently. Due to the trend, there are none. Completely none. There is only one neighborhood with a key money. At the neighborhood school, the only one.

This is an airline. Yes, this is our signboard. What happened here? Why is it broken? When was this broken? Did we lose money? I just found out now. It's in ruins. Is that LED broken, or just temporarily? Hello, hello. Let's see. Let's see. Our staff. Oh, it's a staff member. Hello, hello. Why are you like that? Oh, Kangpa, a YouTuber. Kangpa, come out and do a collaboration with me. So, are you going to work now? Oh, you finish work at 11 and start at 12. So, you are going to film now. Originally, you are a broadcast PD. Anyway, it's a bit shocking. It's expensive, and money keeps going out. That's why, hyung, that's why being the boss is not a good thing. Did someone recently treat the staff badly? Oh, yesterday, Daewon.

Once I get mad, oh why, why, let's go to the 3rd floor, thanks to you, I get to experience this again. Right, let's go out. Thank you. If I go this way, it's Miss Airline, and if I go that way, it's Kingdom. Oh, the details are quite nice. Oh, it's too much. Oh, brother, the design is well done here. It must have cost a lot of money. Hello, hello. Oh, confused. Right, hello, hello. Do you speak Korean well? You speak really well. Since the past, I've liked Korea a lot, so I liked learning the language. Oh, I really... Since when I was young, my wife didn't go to work for a while because she was taking a national exam. Really, from the exam...

After it's over, you should work harder because you've done it four times now, so you need to make money, right? Korea is really good at it. The advantage of Korea is also the disadvantage of Korea. The food is delicious, and I really like the Korean language itself. The language is so beautiful, and there are many entertainment shows that are popular worldwide. What's the name of the channel? Hong Hong Gogogo. I will watch it later. Why are you suddenly blushing? Oh, that's why. Why is it different? No, it's not. It's not. It's hot here. Oh, your face can't be seen here. Do you have a boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend. What kind of person do you like? I like someone who is kind, diligent, and doesn't lie. Only I exist. I exist. How old are you? I'm in my thirties. Oh, you're in the Showa era in Japan. Oh, the Showa era. It's public property. It's perfect. We are the same age. I'll see you next life. Have you ever dated a Korean boyfriend?

There are pros and cons. If not, it's just right. I also suddenly started dating a Japanese girlfriend. Why are you acting so differently? Oh, I see. You had a hard time today. Yes, if there is another chance, let's do it again. You are someone I can only see here, right? That's right, that's right. It's me. Oh, you suddenly changed. Suddenly. Oh, Manager, Manager, oh, it's hot. It's hot. It's hot. When I drink like this, the feeling is so different. Here, there are about 24 staff members mainly working here. When you look at the people working here, many of them are studying or doing it for their studies, right? They earn a living, for living expenses, for tuition fees. I heard there are many people like that in Japan too. How is it here? Here, you can have a drink, sing songs, play darts, and more. The price here is all-you-can-drink.

Unlimited drinks for one hour cost around 3,000 yen, even if you drink 10 beers, it's okay if it's 28,000 yen. If you buy one more drink, it will cost around 9,000 yen, so it's a bit expensive. And then, with the addition of music, it's fine. Hana, Mimi, don't be sorry. I can still feel you, like you're still there. As I listen, even up to your hands. When my brother comes, he sees a lot more. When I see what my brother is doing, it's more regrettable. Still, I am living next to my parents anyway. My brother must have had a hard time after our mother went to heaven. He needs to support the family immediately. He has to go out and do broadcasts again. When I was living in Osaka, I heard the sad news about Mom. A call came, and the situation turned critical much faster than I thought.

Because it's the era of Corona, when I heard that self-management news, I cried a lot. Before turning on the broadcast, I wiped away my tears. When I turn on the broadcast, it's like nothing happened. Everyone, now you become clowns. And the moment the broadcast ends, I cry like crazy again. I immediately moved on to the next song. For example, when you start dating, there's only one time that happens. At that time, Korean men are not good at saying I love you. They are not good at it. There's a bit of that. It's so sad to think about that time. My mom couldn't speak when she looked at me. Only tears were visible in her eyes. With my breath, I said to my mom, Mom, I really love you. Even if I am born again, I will be born as your son. Remember, Mom, even when you can't use your strength, your left hand holds my hand tightly as if telling me not to let go. Oh, this kind of story suddenly, what is it?

Life feels so empty. Between men, after the child, now I feel like I've changed a bit. Since then, if I don't protect myself, no one else will protect me. It really felt harsh. On Africa TV, it was really harsh. We really worked hard at that time. We really pushed ourselves. We woke up, ate, and washed up. Broadcasting. Right now, there are three to come here. We really worked hard to get here. It's like a miracle. This winter, I feel like I can relax. I'm still writing this. I've been doing this for a while now, even at home. Even when I sleep, I do this. On the subway, I keep doing this. I only take it off when I shower. Oh, and no one has seen my face this time. No, I've seen a lot. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful people like that.

I have to broadcast, oh, this trip is so fascinating. Wow, how exactly does this trip work? Right now, I'm... [MUSIC] Oh, cheese [MUSIC].
