Ukrainian Wife Finally Obtains Korean Citizenship!

I think I'm going in.

I think this is the last time.

I won't have to come here anymore.

(She's so happy)

(Shaking with nerves)

Are you nervous?

Yes.

Oppa.

You went in as a Ukrainian citizen,

and now you're out as a Korean citizen.

Why are you dressed up so beautifully in a Hanbok today?

Is there a special occasion?

It's the day I've been waiting for.

What day is it?

Today is the day Olha gets her citizenship!

(👏👏👏👏👏👏👏)

You've waited for so long.

I really have waited a long time,

and I couldn't even dream of this.

I'm so nervous and excited.

I think today will be

the happiest day of my life.

I don't think I can go in with you.

I'm not sure.

I've never done this before.

Since today is the big day,

I heard you were asked to give a speech as a representative.

That's right.

Did you memorize it well?

Of course I did~

You didn't forget it?

I'm okay so far,

but I might forget everything once I get inside.

I'm just so nervous.

But I think there will be many people.

Since we're in Seoul,

there might be over 100 people.

Over 100 people?

Congratulations, Olha.

After the ceremony,

tell us all about how it was.

I will~

Are you really happy?

I woke up at 5 AM today

to do my makeup and get ready,

but I'm not sleepy or tired at all.

I'm so happy that I can live

as a Korean citizen from today.

Congratulations!

Let's go in.

Yes!

(Excited back of the head 1)

But Oppa, you know what?

Every time I came here,

I felt really bad.

But today,

it's a bit different.

Do you feel good today?

I feel like I could fly.

I think it's the last time.

I won't be coming here anymore.

There's no reason to come now.

Since you're not a foreigner.

Exactly.

We're on the 7th floor.

(Really happy)

You look very happy, don't you?

I feel like I'm flying right now.

I'll buy you something delicious today.

As a Korean citizen,

you should eat Korean food.

Right!

Are you nervous?

Yeah.

Why be nervous? It ends today.

Today is the beginning.

I have to change my name,

change my bank info,

and update my phone records.

There's a lot to do.

You can do it happily, Olha.

I'll do it happily,

but there's still a lot to do.

Did you memorize it all?

Hello.

As a Korean citizen today,

starting for the first time,

on behalf of everyone,

I'm honored to share my thoughts...

I'll do it for you later.

Oppa, I need to practice now.

Okay, practice quickly.

Before it's too late.

I feel like I'm having a heart attack.

(A heart attack did not happen)

(Trembling)

You can just go to the front and sit.

You went in as a Ukrainian, and now

you came out as a Korean citizen.

But where was Oppa?

Oppa was waiting downstairs.

- You said it'd end at 30. - Olha gave a great speech and all.

Dressed like this...

You said I couldn't go in.

They said I could!

There were so many families there,

but I was...

all by myself~

Oh no.

I feel so good.

First, Olha got a Korean flag,

and a cutlery set too.

Olha's going to eat with these from today.

(Excited back of the head 2)

You're finally a Korean citizen?

We're not a multicultural family now, Oppa.

We're not a multicultural family anymore.

We're a Kor-Kor couple.

That's great.

We need to do some rebranding now.

Want to see what I got?

I got a lot. First, the Korean flag.

Oh~ The Taegeukgi.

I'll take this whenever I go abroad.

You're taking it with you?

To show I'm from Korea.

They made it so beautifully.

I should take it on walks every day.

And the thing Olha wanted most...

Cutlery!

It says Ministry of Justice here.

I'm going to eat with this now.

Jealous? You don't have this, right?

I don't. Since I'm already Korean.

Olha is a Korean now too.

Watch out now!

Cool, right?

It's touching.

I know, I thought...

I would burst into tears.

You didn't cry?

But after receiving it,

I actually felt so proud.

Like, "I'm a Korean now."

I can walk with my head held high.

Oppa prepared a gift too.

Really?

Mmm~

The flowers are so pretty!

Not as pretty as Olha, though.

You've learned a lot, haven't you?

(I think I'm pretty good at this)

It goes well with your Hanbok today.

Actually, I...

thought everyone...

would be wearing a Hanbok.

But I was the only one wearing it.

It turns out only Olha wore a Hanbok.

But I think it was a good choice.

Yeah, you did well.

People were like, "Whoa!!"

You even gave a speech.

And took the oath.

Everyone was repeating after me.

And I gave a speech after that too.

"As a citizen of the Republic of Korea,

representing everyone starting anew,

to be able to share my thoughts like this...

is very meaningful and a great honor."

I said a lot of things like that,

and the most important part was,

"From today, as a Korean citizen,

with a sense of responsibility,

in our respective places,

to become good members of Korean society,

we will do our best."

You prepared the speech really well.

I think I really...

prepared it well.

Did you stutter at all?

Of course I did!

So as soon as I grabbed the mic,

I said, "I'm nervous standing here."

I really said that.

But then I saw...

someone there was just reading it.

Was I allowed to read from a script?

I didn't know that.

So I thought I had to just do it.

Since so many people were watching,

I was nervous,

and since I was chosen as the representative,

I thought I had to do a great job.

(Representative Lee Olha)

Really.

There's something else in there besides flowers.

Oppa, this isn't expensive, is it?

It's a gift, Olha.

Really?

Is it for stamping?

Wow~

That's a registered personal seal, Olha.

Wow.

Open it. I had your name engraved.

It says "Lee Olha"?

I had it engraved as "Lee Olha."

I haven't legally changed my name yet.

You said you wanted to use this name.

Right, I should use this one.

(Romantic and successful)

Oppa, I really wanted this.

But when did you get this done?

I had no idea.

I went to Insadong over the weekend.

You said you were meeting a friend then.

Oppa, I'm so touched.

You need a seal anyway, Olha.

And since you're becoming Lee Olha...

I have a good idea.

You have a Hanbok, right?

I'll wear it to the first birthday party.

Are you "baby-lighting" me again?

When my nephew Ji-hoon gets married,

I'm going to wear this.

I bought a pretty expensive one.

It looks great on you.

I don't think we should be stingy with things like this.

Let's go!

What do you want to eat today?

Now that you're Korean, what'll it be?

I think I should eat something expensive.

Sure, let's go eat something expensive.

We'll work twice as hard from tomorrow.

Let's go~

How does it feel to be with a Korean citizen?

You must feel good too, Oppa.

You wanted to marry a foreigner,

but we're a Kor-Kor couple now, not Hanu Couple.

Since Olha became Korean.

Right.

There's a lot to do now.

We have to change your name,

apply for a passport,

and register your residency.

But the most complicated part is

contacting the banks and phone companies one by one

to request the changes.

But I looked into it, and for KakaoTalk,

you might have to delete it and make a new one.

So, Olha gave a speech inside...

What else did you do?

First, there was some education,

like when the next election is,

and the rights we have,

and the duties we have.

They explained everything,

and told us all about the national holidays.

Then, after the education,

they told us what to do next,

like when to go to the community center,

and how to change my name.

They explained the procedures in detail.

But I thought you were behind me, Oppa.

I thought you were filming me from behind.

I was trying to smile.

They said I wasn't allowed in,

so I was sitting one floor below.

You were just comfortably...

leaving Olha behind,

and just sitting there resting...

All the families in the back were clapping.

(They really told him not to enter)

Actually, I didn't know this before coming,

but they said I was chosen as a representative.

I thought I had to give a speech or something,

that's what I thought.

But it turns out I had to lead the oath.

I was so nervous,

and didn't know what to do.

"Abide by the Korean Constitution and laws,"

I had to say things like that.

Since everyone behind me followed along,

I felt like such a cool person!

(I should have gone in to see it)

They said not to forget our native language.

"That's how you come to love Korea too."

It was such a truly meaningful event.

I'm a proud Korean now too.

I really felt that way.

Oppa, from now on, if people ask,

say, "My wife isn't a foreigner."

"I married a Korean woman."

Say it like that, okay?

But people will be so surprised.

When we go abroad,

we have to go through immigration.

People might stop you at immigration.

"Hey! You can't go through this way!"

- Then Olha shows her passport like this. - Just like this.

"I'm Korean~"

I'm going to live as a Korean now.

Food without Kimchi isn't food anymore.

Are we going to make our own Kimchi?

We're doing Kimjang now, Oppa.

Chuseok is coming up soon.

It's time for Kimjang.

We need to buy a Kimchi fridge too.

We can call your sisters to help.

I think they might hate that?

But it's such a happy day,

and I've really been waiting for this.

Truly.

Looking back, time really flew by.

You did well waiting for 3 years.

Well, I had no choice but to wait.

Right, they don't just give it to you.

They don't just give it away.

There's a lot to do from now on,

but Oppa will help me, right?

Olha has to do that herself.

Well, since Olha is Korean now,

you can do it well on your own.

Right, Olha has to do well alone now.

When we have a baby...

(Starting the "baby-lighting")

The mom is Korean,

and the dad is Korean too.

How great is that?

We have to be patriotic.

I've been patriotic all along.

By giving birth to a future taxpayer,

and raising them well...

I should repay the favor, Oppa.

A person should repay their favors.

Friends are coming to celebrate tonight,

so we'll eat well and drink wine.

Olha, how can a Korean drink wine?

I guess I should drink Soju.

That was really thoughtless of me.

I'm going to drink Soju.

Hurry and apologize to the subscribers.

Olha is still...

Since I'm a "rookie" Korean,

I made a mistake like that.

It's okay to make mistakes.

As long as I do better from now on?

Yeah, do better from now on.

(To me too)

I should buy a T-shirt like this.

One that says "I'm a proud Korean."

I'm fine, just buy one for Olha.

Don't make it a couple shirt.

Make it small, just about this big.

This is so great.

You worked so hard.

Really, thanks to Oppa, I could come this far.

That's actually true!

I'm so grateful,

and in the future,

I'll do even better.

(We'll see?)

Once every two days,

I'll make you Kimchi or Soybean stew.

Actually, for Kimchi stew,

I prefer tuna over pork.

Oh, really?

But I like pork.

But since Olha likes pork,

even when you made it with pork,

Oppa just ate it happily.

Is there something you don't know about Oppa?

There's a lot I don't know.

I don't say everything,

I'm being considerate.

You're being considerate?

Yeah.

I'll make it with tuna now too.

Since Olha needs to think about pension,

you should prepare for retirement now.

I'm working hard on it too.

I don't have much time left.

(Really not much time left)

Okay, anyway.

Good job and congrats, Olha.

Thank you so much for the gift.

Now Olha is Lee Olha.

Congratulations, Ms. Lee Olha.

Thank you~!

Oppa, we should go take photos now.

Are we going right now?

My makeup is done, it'd be a waste.

Right, take them while your makeup is pretty.

Exactly~!

I'll get passport and ID photos all at once.

Olha, now that you're Korean,

what's the first thing you want to do?

I want to try investing properly,

Toss Securities, just you wait.

I'm really jumping in!

And I heard about that.

I heard there's an island in Korea where foreigners can't go.

Is it Baengnyeongdo? There.

Ah~ Baengnyeongdo.

I want to go there!

You want to go to Baengnyeongdo too?

Of course! I really want to go!

Not everyone can go there.

Then I'm really special.

Again?!~

Now I'm going to take out my passport and do this.

Going straight to the Korean line at the airport?

Then when people open their passports and see this...

I want to see them look surprised.

There's a website called Bokjiro,

and if you go there,

you can see what kind of benefits

you can receive.

Olha should go on there tonight

and check out all the programs.

I don't think there will be any more sad days.

Only happy days are left now.

You were so anxious,

saying "When is it happening?"

and whining about it every day.

Oppa, I was really counting down the days!

I think I'll sleep well now.

Right, sleep tight from now on.

Thank you so much for watching until the end,

and as a citizen of South Korea,

what should she do?

What would be good to start with?

And since Olha became Korean today,

please congratulate her a lot,

Yes~ Please congratulate me a lot~

and please support her too.

What you'd like to see Olha do in Korea from now on,

it would be great if you could let us know.

Thank you.

Please subscribe and like.

(And Hype too!!!)

It's pretty, right?

It looks good on me, right?

Carry that around every day.

I should walk around like this.

(A scene that's truly hard to see anywhere else)

You're doing well.

I am, right?

Yeah.

It looks very good on you.

But I'm so grateful they gave me something like this.

I feel so good~

Please continue to show lots of love for Hanu Couple in the future

We'll continue to live happily together
