Let's talk about Choo Miae as a woman.
How long have you been married?
I got married in 1986.
For 31 years.
- You went to the same school? / - Yes.
How long did you two date?
- 7 years. / - 7 years!
Did you passionately love each other?
Why would you ask that?
In this heat.
I'm sorry. It is quite hot.
Then did you have a cool relationship?
I'd think you were quite popular in college.
I was.
It may sound idiotic, but I had boys follow me home.
It may sound idiotic, but I had boys follow me home.
- And follow me to school. / - On the way to school?
Once I got off the bus, someone followed me.
They weren't stalkers, were they?
There were many boys.
How did you end up with your husband?
We were in the same class.
There were 40 students in total.
Out of 40, three of us were girls.
3 girls out of 40 students.
During breaks, I realized that he would
talk to the other two girls, but not me.
(That's...)
True players do that.
I would be busy preparing for the next class,
and he was busy talking to the other two girls.
Whenever I would look, he was looking elsewhere.
(What is up with this man?)
- Were you angry? / - No, I wasn't.
I felt it.
I felt that he was interested in me,
but was acting nonchalant.
I had many reasons to think that.
Many reasons.
Since he pretended to be busy with other girls,
I left little room for him to approach me.
- To make him come to me. / - Approach you easily.
I heard that when you were proposed to join
politics, your husband helped out a lot. Is that so?
He eagerly gave me advice on which direction
the society must be headed.
He isn't a kind man as a husband.
He wasn't thinking as a husband to
comfort his wife.
He was contemplating on how to sacrifice
his wife for the country.
I know what you mean.
Your in-laws must be displeased with your work.
Of course.
Because I was too busy to look after my family.
Did your husband persuade them to support you?
He told me later that he said this to his mom,
"Don't worry, mom. It's my turn next."
So she immediately agreed.
So you were a working mom.
It must've been hard to work and be a mom.
I actually didn't tell anyone that I was pregnant
until I was in the last month of my pregnancy.
When you were a judge?
No one knew.
You didn't want to burden them?
Work was work.
I decided that I would take care of my own work.
I didn't want to slack off.
So I didn't tell anyone about it.
My colleagues didn't know and kept smoking.
Sure. Because you didn't tell them.
Didn't you join them on business dinners?
I always went with them.
They just thought I gained a little weight.
That must've been hard.
So your youngest son learned to say
"lawmaker" instead of "mommy?"
After I gave birth to my son
I asked my in-laws and my mom to care for him.
He never got to know his mom.
When he did,
I was on TV as a lawmaker.
Neighbors told him, "Your mom is a lawmaker."
That's why instead of saying "mommy,"
he learned to say "lawmaker" first.
Your children must've been disappointed.
I was known to them as a busy mother.
After I won the election,
I was asked to appear on a TV program.
They wanted to film me being in the kitchen, too.
So upon the production staff's request,
my mother-in-law prepared a pot of stew,
and I turned on the heat to pretend I cooked it.
You practiced.
Kids are the eyes of the world.
My 4-year-old son never forgot that moment.
Mom pretended to cook something she didn't.
That's mom. She puts on a show.
That's a fabrication.
My mom doesn't cook, but she appeared on TV
like she does thanks to grandma.
(I'm sorry, son)
Your staff members said that they hear the sound of
doing the dishes when they're on the phone with you.
Do you actually do the dishes often?
I do. Don't you?
- Me? / - Yes.
I sometimes do.
I do at times.
Do you do housework?
I wouldn't call it housework.
I have to wash the dishes after I eat.
You're the head of the party. No one comes to do it?
You're the head of the party.
(That's absurd)
I see.
Isn't it hard to prepare breakfast for your children?
I just prepare soup and some vegetables.
I go to work first and they eat on their own.
Do you have a pet?
- Yes. / - You do?
How old is he?
19 years old.
His birthday was on June 11.
That's the longest living dog.
I think so.
Terry is 19 years old. (Age: 19)
He is over 100 years old in human age.
What's your dog's name?
Terry.
Does Terry...
Does he know that you're the head of the party?
Does he know?
He always knew.
He knows?
He knows that I'm the head of the family.
Right. Right.
Dogs have ranks, too.
He probably knows that I'm no. 1 out here, too.
You're ranked 7th in the country.
He knows you as someone ranked first.
I have eight dogs at home.
I helped my dogs give birth, too.
I feel like a farmer every morning.
It's like I'm breeding cows.
They poop all over the house.
My daily routine begins with cleaning after them.
Is Terry potty-trained?
No. He has dementia now.
I learn about life through him.
Terry.
Don't be sick.
We all love you. Don't be sick.
Can we interview your daughter
over the phone to see if you really cook
and do the dishes at home?
I'm sure she'll ignore my call.
She'll probably ask why I'm calling.
How many times do you talk on the phone with her?
We normally exchange messages.
Right.
We end up texting instead of calling each other.
She answered my call.
Yes?
Wait. There's someone I want you to talk to.
Who?
I can't tell you.
I'm in the middle of a shoot. Hold on.
- Hello? / - Hello?
Hello. I'm Lee Gyungkyu.
- Hello. / - Hello.
(She's happy as well)
I've met you before.
What? Me?
- Yes. / - Where?
At a Lee Gyungkyu rice roll store.
I got an autograph from you when I was young.
I didn't harass you, did I?
No. You were enjoying your food.
I see. I'd like to ask you some questions.
About your mother.
Your mom said she thoroughly prepares...
Not thoroughly. I do a rough job.
She says she prepares breakfast for you.
Is that true?
I normally don't like to eat breakfast.
Wow.
She always tells us to eat breakfast.
I see.
Mom at home and mom as a politician.
In your opinion, are they different?
She's a mom at home.
She's no different from any other moms.
That's right.
But when I see her on TV as a politician
she's scary.
(Full of charisma)
She's scary.
- She's quite harsh. / - I see.
I think people would misunderstand her.
Your mom has many nicknames.
What nickname would you
give her as her daughter?
For my mom?
A woman by nature?
No, a woman from heaven.
(I'm the no. 1 woman)
Could you tell the viewers
that your mother is not cold,
but actually a soft-hearted woman?
She's a warm-hearted person when she isn't angry.
Everybody is warm-hearted when they're not angry.
She is more warm-hearted. She's tenderhearted.
Just because she gets angry on TV
it doesn't mean she's cold-blooded.
(Good job!)
She's not cold-blooded. I see.
Do you respect your mother?
Of course.
She endures things that
I don't think I could've done.
She's the strongest person in the world.
That's what I think of her.
Please say good-bye to her.
Good luck with your work. See you later.
Good luck with your interview.
- Thank you. / - Good-bye.
Right here.
I should add in your new nickname.
A woman by nature.
People are interested in your future plans.
There will be another election next year.
There will be a gubernatorial election.
Will you be running for the mayor of Seoul?
How about being the first female chairperson?
I'm not really interested in that.
Why not?
I'm not really interested in being in the spotlight.
I would like to make the Minjoo Party to be smart.
I also want to place democracy in Korea that
is capable and open to public.
In order to do so, everyone must cooperate without
personal greed. As the head of the party,
I shouldn't put my personal greed first.
This is what I'm most disappointed about.
When the Sewol Ferry incident occurred,
the Blue House claimed that they didn't get
any information. That's why there was a controversy
over face-to-face report and written reports.
That's not the important part.
The Blue House should've already had a system
to be notified of any disasters that occur in Korea.
That system was made during the Roh Administration.
But it was gone in the next administration.
There was a system in the bunker of the Blue House
which notifies all the armed forces
once there is a national disaster.
But it wasn't fully developed and was gone
once the new president was placed.
These things must be continued.
It is my goal to make these things happen
while I'm the head of the party.
You want to build a strong foundation.
Leadership is quite important now.
As the leader of the ruling party
what would you like to tell the people?
(Bow)
This administration was made by all of you.
I believe that the wisest people in crisis
were the people of Korea.
I will lead the party well and support
the current administration
in order to make a government which
could be well-evaluated by the people.
Let's check the illustration now.
Did you get an idea of what to illustrate?
(What editorial cartoon did he draw?)
I'm drawn in a fan.
Wind could be soft or strong.
I wanted to illustrate my hope to see politics
that could blow away all evils like fine dust
that are embedded deeply in the society.
We hope see politics like clear wind.
It's much better than that sword.
(Satisfied)
All right.
She looks more beautiful in person.
I'd like to see that in the illustration.
How do you feel?
Thanks for saying that for me.
All right.
Instead of an abstract illustration please make
her look as beautiful as she does in person.
We must now take photos for the book.
Should we stand awkwardly?
You can lock arms with me.
(Becoming closer)
(Cheese)
Do you hold up no. 2?
(Oh!)
(What a predicament)
Like this?
(Finger hearts are the trend these days)
(An honest and open encounter with Choo Miae)
