Why did you want to get Korean citizenship?
To get things like government subsidies.
Isn't that mine?
Oppa, there's no "yours" or "mine" between a married couple.
I'll keep it all.
Sign up for everything,
download everything...
Like porn sites and stuff?
To sue people who badmouth me.
Who is it?
Does he look like he's good at fighting?
(Looks like I'd lose)
Olha, can you cross that?
- No, I can't. - The stone bridge.
I can't because I don't have citizenship.
You can't even cross a stone bridge without citizenship?
I'm about to faint right now.
I'm dizzy.
Why is the elevator taking so long?
(On the verge of death)
You have to film from this side.
That way, I'll look slimmer.
You don't know where we're going, right?
Olha is planning the content
and coming up with ideas.
Isn't it taking too long to get ready?
You have to accept it, Oppa.
- Take it easy. - I don't have time for that.
I'm hungry, but you say "take it easy"? I'm "leisurely" hungry.
You don't seem relaxed at all.
(A walk with zero chill)
I'm wearing a Hanbok dress today. Look.
The clothes are really pretty.
Is the dress pretty? Or is Olha pretty?
Ah, a bug flew into my mouth!
So, what are we going to buy?
Sandwiches.
San...dwiches...
Since I don't have my citizenship yet,
I was going to eat rice and kimchi,
and I was going to make soybean paste stew,
but since it hasn't come out yet (citizenship)...
I'm Korean, so I need to eat rice...
So, before you get your citizenship,
you don't eat rice for breakfast or lunch?
When are you getting your citizenship?
It's been 3 years since I passed the test.
Why aren't they giving it to me?
I think it's because of you, Oppa.
They must not know I'm married to a Korean.
Maybe because Oppa looks like he's from Central Asia,
they're not giving it to you.
Your nose is a bit...
not exactly the Korean style.
Call them and tell them to hurry up.
I did, but they just told me to wait.
If you rush them, won't they delay it out of spite?
I don't know.
Is this Olha's favorite sandwich shop?
I really love this.
It's homemade. Handmade, handmade.
Hello.
So Oppa, eat. Do you want to eat?
Jambon-beurre.
There's no jambon-beurre. It's sold out.
Chipotle? Are you buying it for me?
Olha didn't bring her card.
Apple Pay.
I don't have my phone either.
Then what's that in your hand right now?
This isn't a phone.
Aren't we eating here right away?
Oppa.
(Domestic violence: Call 112)
We have to go buy coffee.
I'm so hungry that I'm not hungry anymore.
(What does that mean?)
Is it over once we buy coffee?
Where are you going?
It's so hot, I think I have heatstroke.
Thank you~
Oppa, isn't it heavy?
You can carry it all, right?
Are we eating outside because the weather's nice?
You found a spot in the shade, right?
No, I'm just walking.
Chipotle chicken and...
But I don't know what chipotle means.
I'm not very good at foreign languages.
Oh, it looks delicious.
Olha's is...
(Mine looks more delicious)
Isn't that mine?
Oppa, there's no "yours" or "mine" between a married couple.
Leave some for me.
It's joint property.
Olha, you mentioned citizenship earlier.
How many years since you took the naturalization test?
3 years.
And it's been 2 years since I applied.
But it still hasn't come out yet.
Right, I'm still waiting for it.
Even when I call, they just say to wait.
It seems like the civil servants take their time with things.
The "hurry-hurry" culture and civil servants...
seem to be quite far apart.
You have Ukrainian citizenship,
so why did you want to get a Korean one?
Well, first of all, I've lived in Korea for a long time,
I want to vote, too,
and to get government subsidies!
Actually, Olha has received
so much help until now,
so she wants to give back that much.
Are there any benefits for Olha if she gets Korean citizenship?
Being able to go through immigration with Oppa.
When we go to Jeju Island,
we always have to go separately when we come back.
I can use KakaoBank and things like that,
and Toss Securities too.
If I change my name...
I'm going to take Oppa's last name.
You're going to take my last name?
Lee Olha.
Think about the name a bit more.
Something that
sounds more like a Korean name.
Please let me know in the comments
what kind of name suits me.
Not funny names, but pretty ones.
No funny names, please.
In Ukraine, do you usually
take your husband's last name?
Yeah, you definitely change it.
What's your last name, Olha?
Demchenko.
(Sigh)
No, of course I knew, I just asked.
(In case the viewers were curious)
But at Shinhan Bank, long names don't fit.
It's not Demchenko Olha, but Ko-Olha.
That's how it shows up.
I'm becoming a Koala.
Tell the viewers your full name, Olha.
Demchenko
Olha
Ihorivna.
And your mom?
Mom is Demchenko Svitlana
Mykolaivna.
Your dad's last name is Demchenko, right?
And if someone says, "Go back to your country,"
"But this is my country!"
Is that what you want to say?
There are things only citizens can do.
Like volunteer work.
So if I get Korean citizenship,
will I be treated exactly the same
as a Korean person?
Can I get a loan? (Huh?)
A loan! A loan?
Are you going to get a loan, Olha?
I want to buy another house.
Oppa will pay the taxes.
But for us to buy another house...
I think we can do it in about 30 years.
Why do you want to get a loan?
You never know what might happen in life.
What's the interest rate in Ukraine?
Around 40%?
40%?
Do people actually take out loans?
If they need money, they do.
But mostly, people buy apartments with cash.
Whenever I arrive at Incheon,
I think, "I'm home."
Since I have that feeling,
shouldn't I get citizenship?
And Korean food is so delicious,
it suits me well.
Also, it feels unfair when people badmouth Korea.
It feels like they're badmouthing me.
Your mindset is already Korean then.
Once I get citizenship,
I think I'll have no more dreams.
If you get citizenship, maybe...
Are you going to run away?
Do you know the story of the Fairy and the Woodcutter?
Oh, I know that.
But do you know how it ends?
She took all the kids and went to heaven.
Are you saying you'll follow that story?
And there's also this.
(Avoiding the question?)
To become a civil servant,
you have to be a citizen.
Do you want to be a civil servant too?
Olha might, who knows?
Are you trying to become a member of the National Assembly?
National Assembly...
I think it's better not to.
I'll probably get criticized.
There are many multicultural families in Korea,
and I could make policies for them.
Also, Olha right now...
can't even make a PayPal account.
Wouldn't daily life become easier?
I have thoughts like that.
And for me,
I want to apply for the patrol dog program.
Rich can't even "stay" though.
For example, if Olha committed a crime.
You haven't already, right?
It's better to go to a Korean prison.
I heard the food is good there.
Rather than being deported,
it's better to go to a Korean prison.
If I'm in prison, Oppa will visit every weekend, right?
I think it depends on the crime.
I'll bring you food.
And some commissary money.
Since we've eaten, shall we walk and talk for a bit?
Olha, can you cross that?
- No, I can't. - The stepping stones.
I can't because I don't have citizenship.
You can't even cross stones without citizenship?
Let's cross this. You can't?
There's immigration control here.
Do I look pretty?
Not me, Olha should look pretty.
People aren't interested in me.
So what else will you do once you get citizenship?
There's an app called Finda,
Finda?
I'm going to sign up for it.
Do you have a lot of assets, Olha?
Don't you have some hidden assets?
I'll say "no comment."
Oh?! You do?!?
Couples should share everything, Olha.
You have to share your assets.
So what do you want to do?
Sign up for everything,
and download everything.
Like adult sites?
When I first came to Korea,
I didn't have a phone number.
But to get a phone number,
you need an Alien Registration Card.
But to get an Alien Registration Card...
You need a phone number.
What's up with that!
So I asked someone I know,
They made a SIM card for me in their name.
I tried to watch YouTube,
but suddenly that thing popped up.
The one where you need a code.
So I couldn't watch 19+ videos
for 3 years.
That's why Olha...
couldn't even watch YouTube properly.
And...
my KakaoTalk...
People send gifts, right?
But I can't get refunds for them.
Why didn't you tell me?
Even if I did...
A friend once...
sent me a Gong Cha coupon.
I forgot about it.
You can change that into money.
Yeah, but once it expires,
it says I can't.
Then what happens?
So you can't get a refund,
and you can't get the item either?
Yeah, exactly.
Since it expired.
Then who takes that money?
KakaoTalk?
What a rip-off!~
I'm just taking it easy now.
Once I get my citizenship,
I'll take care of Oppa for life.
Even if I retire?
Even if you retire.
Even if I can't walk?
Even if you can't walk.
Since this will be on YouTube,
it'll be on the record, Olha.
I know, it's okay.
I can do it.
Really? You didn't answer very quickly.
Olha always thinks before answering.
Like I'm someone who speaks without thinking?
That's right.
Oppa, you're a bit thoughtless.
I just think fast.
No, you're just thoughtless.
Olha, look at that. (Carp)
But they say fishing isn't allowed here.
Let's come back late at night (to catch them).
Since it's right in front of our house.
Since Olha keeps carrying the camera,
her arm hurts.
I just had a great idea.
It suddenly popped into my head.
From Tesla.
What do you mean, Tesla?
I'm not saying we should buy a car.
They're making a robot called Optimus.
Not that either.
I'll buy it for you when Samsung makes one.
But Oppa is an LG fan?
When Optimus comes out,
it can hold the camera and film us.
I guess we should buy one.
Is it okay if it's not a Korean brand?
Olha is all about Korean products now.
It's so our country can prosper.
Is it "our country" already?
Of course it's our country~
I can't even sleep because I have no nationality.
I have insomnia right now.
You're getting your citizenship soon.
So when Olha changes her last name,
we have to update all the documents.
Your license too,
and your bank cards.
It's not like I'm the one changing them?
At least have the heart to help, Oppa.
My heart is always helping you.
I wish you'd at least say it nicely.
I'm already helping you with everything.
I'll help you~
Later, we can teach Optimus with AI
to film us,
and it would be great if it could talk too.
I want a person to appear.
On Optimus's face,
we can put a sticker of my face, right?
So, is that all?
I have plenty more.
To the people who badmouth me,
I'm going to say I'll sue them.
There are people who badmouth Olha?
There are.
Who is it? Oppa will go scold them.
Who is it?
Do they look like they're good at fighting?
(Looks like he'd lose)
I love Korea.
I keep saying things like "They have this here too."
Then people are like...
"She's totally obsessed with Korea."
Like, "She's such a Korea-boo"?
So it's tough.
You have to find the right balance.
Korea is truly the best.
The best among all the countries I've visited.
Our country is the best.
Korea is the best for me too.
It's the cleanest and safest.
The food is diverse too.
And the people are kind.
Koreans have a lot of warmth.
They're only kind to you, Olha.
They aren't that kind to me.
People give me so many freebies.
That's because you're a foreigner.
Koreans do have a lot of warmth though.
Is there anything else to do?
There is, but I'll tell you once I get it.
I'm going to brag about it!
It's my first time.
Getting a citizenship.
Please...
So everyone,
we'll end it here for today.
Please leave a comment about what name would be good.
Write it down!
Something cute!
Not something funny.
Not something funny.
Something that fits me perfectly.
Something that makes me go, "This is it!"
Please help me out!
See you next time~
Oppa, should I take this?
If Oppa doesn't listen to me,
I'll just stay inside here.
You can't take this without citizenship.
