But I see...
you were on the Karrot app again this morning? (Karrot is a popular second-hand marketplace app in Korea)
Karrot? No, I didn't buy anything.
I just asked a question.
But why ask if you don't intend to buy it?
I was going to buy it secretly, but...
they said they can't make a transaction on the weekend.
Olha only sells on Karrot.
Bobby only buys.
How can a married couple be so different?
Oppa.
Last time, you prepared an omakase for me, right?
Yes.
So today,
Olha has prepared something special.
Are we going to eat something delicious?
Yes.
First of all, it's a food
that you have never tried before.
That makes me nervous.
Really? But it's going to be delicious.
I'm 100% sure it will be delicious.
100% delicious?
Olha has already made a reservation.
You made a reservation?
Yes, I did.
Where is it?
It's not an easy restaurant to get into.
It's not far.
About a 15-minute drive from our house?
By car?
You have to drive, of course.
I'm driving?
Of course~
Since Olha is paying...
Can't you do the full course for me?
The full course.
No, since Olha is paying,
you have to drive.
Well, if it's not too far...
Right.
Let's get ready and go.
Alright.
Suji.
Mom and Dad are going out again.
Be good at home.
Rest well.
Everyone, try to guess in the comments.
Don't watch the video until the end.
Just write it down.
What country's
food are we going to eat?
Try to guess.
And if you happen to guess correctly,
then you should buy a lottery ticket today.
Polish food?
Poland?
Since we've never been to Poland.
Right.
Denmark!
Denmark?
No, I think I've had Danish food before.
- They sell it in Korea too. - We've had it.
It's a country that Koreans don't know well.
A country Koreans don't know?
They don't know the name of the country.
And they often mistake it for something else.
- Guatemala. - haha
Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka, haha.
Then how about eating African food?
African food...
I've had it before.
Really?
What country's food have you had?
The one they sell in Itaewon.
Oh, really?
I've had some bean dishes a few times.
Who did you go with?
Ayy, I went to Itaewon often.
You didn't go with your ex-girlfriend, did you?
haha
Then who did you go with?
I went with my older friends.
With my friends.
Really?
I haven't been there.
I don't go to Itaewon much.
You must have been a party boy.
I used to go a lot back in the day.
Really?
Olha doesn't go to Itaewon.
I go to Itaewon a lot.
Because there are many good restaurants.
This place, I...
I come here often with Olha.
Really? Here in Dongdaemun.
So, do you have a feeling?
The old 'Russian street'.
Yes, that's right.
The Uzbek restaurant we sometimes go to.
Is it the place I like?
But, Oppa...
you've had Uzbek food before.
So it's not there.
It's not there.
There's a new place here.
A new place opened?
Follow me~ Just follow me~
Is this it?
Yes, look.
Oh, Georgia?
Is it a Georgian restaurant?
Yes.
What's the name of this place?
It's called Hvanch.
Hvanch~
Okay.
Let's go in.
Is it good here?
Yes.
Have you been here before, Olha?
Yes, haha.
Are you excited?
Why did you come without me?
I had to try it first
to see if I should bring you.
In case it wasn't good.
Olha did some reconnaissance
in advance.
Alright.
Olha's process is very thorough.
Alright.
First, we must try this.
It's a bit different from dumplings.
Khinkali?
It's a food called Khinkali.
It has broth inside.
It's really delicious.
It looks like a dumpling.
Right.
And they have soups like this.
My dad really
loves this kind of thing.
Okay, I see.
Oh, they have this too.
When Olha came last time,
the menu looked a bit different.
They've added desserts now.
This place hasn't been open for long.
So the first time I came...
I left in a really bad mood.
On Naver, it said they were open.
But when I got here,
they weren't open.
Really? They weren't open?
So I was really annoyed
and I thought I would never come back, but...
I really wanted to eat it.
So I came back again,
and the food was good,
but the staff were unfriendly.
But now I see...
they closed once to retrain everyone.
They closed down?
They were closed for about a month
and then reopened.
So now I see
the staff are being really friendly,
and they greet you.
They even give you gloves.
So the lady was very kind.
Is she a different person from before?
I think the staff has completely changed.
This one, Oppa, the broth is really!
It's no joke!
Georgia...
Is it the Georgia in the US?
Of course not~
It's a country.
There's a separate country called Georgia?
That's right.
Isn't it the Georgia famous for coffee?
Did you even go to school?
The Georgia famous for coffee?
No.
Is that the US Georgia?
That's the US Georgia.
Although Olha hasn't been to Georgia yet,
of all the food I've had in my life,
Georgian food is the best.
Really?
No, Korean food is number one.
Then Georgian food is number two.
I really want to recommend it,
but there's one problem.
It's a bit on the greasy side.
So for us,
dinner tonight is budae-jjigae (army stew).
After this, budae-jjigae.
Or we must eat kimchi-jjigae.
I usually don't order lemonade.
I always just drink water.
But Georgian lemonade is famous.
Mmm~
Mmm, it's good~
They make it themselves.
It's not too sweet and delicious.
Where is Georgia located?
It's near Ukraine.
Oh, really?
Ukraine is here, then the Black Sea, then Georgia.
But I haven't been there yet.
What is the country famous for?
Food!!
Famous for food?
Well, there are mountains and the sea.
Korea has mountains and sea too.
The people are kind.
They are really sincere about service.
They are that kind of people.
So...when you go to a restaurant, it's like a performance.
We should go there someday.
The women here are all so beautiful...
The people working here.
You must come here once, haha.
I recommend it.
Beautiful women are working here.
The man is also very handsome.
- Ladies, you should come too. - The man is tall and very handsome.
I feel so small.
I've become a squid. (Korean slang for feeling unattractive next to someone very good-looking)
You know the video we uploaded last time...
I saw the comments, and...
people say you live recklessly.
Like you live as if there's no tomorrow.
There was a comment like that.
I don't live recklessly.
haha
I live very diligently.
I work hard,
and I save money hard.
Bobby is a hard worker.
When I lived alone, I spent a lot, but...
after getting married...
now that Olha says I can't...
I've actually cut back a lot.
Right.
The truth is, we have slightly...
different views on
money management.
Because the difference is so big,
we manage our money
separately.
The reason is...
Olha is conservative,
whereas Bobby thinks you have to make money work.
You have to make money work.
That's how you can become rich.
But Olha thinks that even if we become rich,
the process of getting rich slowly
is the right way.
But you just go for it!
It's not just "going for it"~
If there's no risk,
you can't become rich.
Even if the return isn't high, we should do it safely.
So for our living expenses,
Bobby just pays for them.
And Olha saves up lump sums.
She saves.
Right, she saves.
So in exchange for Olha being able to
save money quickly,
she contributed a lot
of money when we moved.
And also for furniture
and appliances.
We agreed that Olha would buy most of them.
We reached an agreement on that.
That's how we live.
I don't just spend money recklessly.
haha
Olha manages it very carefully.
And when you ask
if you can buy something,
I immediately say no.
You sometimes secretly...
sometimes you buy things secretly.
- I don't buy expensive things. - A keyboard, a chair...
Because of that chair,
we almost got a divorce.
You can buy things sometimes.
haha
How can you live your whole life without buying anything?
You bought a 2 million won chair. (approx. $1,450 USD)
I told you it wasn't 2 million won.
haha
It was originally 2 million won, but I bought it for a cheaper price.
Olha always...
uses things until they completely break down
before throwing them away, but Bobby...
when something new comes out,
he's the type of person who wants to buy it right away.
But seeing as we're opposites like this,
there are aspects where we match well.
But there is something to change.
What?
There's one thing to change.
Yes, what is it?
The TV!
The TV?!
haha
Everyone, I really...
don't watch TV much,
and while eating dinner,
I'm fine with just looking at you.
I'll just watch you while eating dinner.
Mmm-mmm~ (No No No)
It looks like kimchi-jjigae,
and the bowl is Korean too.
You're right, it's a ttukbaegi (earthenware pot)!
This is really one of
my dad's favorite dishes.
You try it first.
It looks extremely hot.
This is hot.
It has meat in it,
and rice too.
There's rice in it?
It's a taste that Koreans would really like.
It's gukbap (soup with rice).
It feels like gukbap, but try it first.
How is it?
It's delicious.
Since we're a married couple, it's right to share a spoon.
Is this coriander?
Mmm~~
Ah, it's hot.
Oh~ It's delicious.
Delicious, delicious.
It's a taste I know well.
It has tomato in it.
Since we both
eat coriander well,
it tastes like Tom Yum Goong, right?
Because it has coriander in it.
So the first dish is a success.
What score?
What would you give it out of 10?
An 8?
An 8? That's good.
That's quite high since you're picky.
It's not a taste that Koreans would dislike.
Right.
And since there's rice in it,
it's a very filling meal.
It goes well with your hat.
You look like a thief right now.
You are a thief, Oppa.
You are a thief, Oppa. (Play on words, as "thief" can also mean someone who "stole" a beautiful partner)
haha
A lot of people commented that.
haha
They called me a thief.
That means you have to treat me well.
I didn't know, but after seeing the comments...
Everyone in the comments says to treat you well.
haha
I am treating you well.
Is that why we got married?
Let me tell you the legend.
The lady here told me the legend.
A legend?
Georgian men...
travel far by boat, right?
And their wives
felt sorry for their husbands.
So they wondered what they could do for their husbands,
and they thought a lot about it.
This is in the shape of a boat.
Ah~ It's shaped like a boat?
And the cheese is the sea.
And...
the yellow egg yolk
is love.
Love~
That's why they made it like this.
How do you eat this?
Like this, one piece...
And then...
Mmm~
Wow! It's delicious!
Are you taking all the cheese?
haha
It's good, right?
What's the score?
This is also an 8 or 9?
It's not overly flavorful,
but it's savory and delicious.
When I was a student,
whenever something good happened,
I always came to eat this.
Like on the day I passed an exam.
Are there many Georgian restaurants in Ukraine?
There are actually more than Ukrainian restaurants.
Most Ukrainian people
don't eat out much.
My mom is always surprised, right?
About why we eat out.
To eat Ukrainian food,
not many people go out.
Because everyone makes it at home.
So mostly when people go out,
it's for Italian food,
or Japanese food,
or Korean food,
but they eat Georgian food the most.
Does it remind you of home?
Yes.
They said they'll give us new gloves.
The service is really the best.
I could just keep eating with one plate,
but they offered to change everything.
I sound like I'm sponsored by this place.
This is not a sponsorship.
Unfortunately, we're paying with our own money.
Paid with my own money.
This one has pork and
beef inside.
This one is cheese.
Personally, Olha
likes the cheese one more,
but I think you'll like this one too.
Here, like this...
there's a mark.
They've marked it.
The beef and pork one,
and the cheese one.
I'll show you how.
First, you have to be careful because this is hot.
I'll show you.
First, you hold it like this.
Hold it here like this.
Just one bite!
Then you have to drink the broth inside.
Like this.
You don't eat the top part.
You don't eat the top part?
You just throw this away.
You try it with this one.
Just as Olha taught you...
Show the people.
Do I have to do it upside down like this?
No, you have to do it like this.
Like this?
Make a hole here like this.
And now drink the broth.
Ouch, it's hot.
How is it? Delicious, right?
The cheese is just!
It's very hot.
Be careful when you eat it.
There's so much broth.
You're spilling it all over.
This part is to be thrown away.
You don't eat it.
Mine is the meat one.
It's packed with meat.
It's so good eating this after such a long time.
It's worth coming here once in a while.
It's a delicacy, a delicacy.
Because it's a taste I've never had before.
And actually, for now,
it's not that greasy.
But we definitely need to eat budae-jjigae.
For those who can't handle
things like spices very well,
it might be difficult.
But for those who don't have
a strong aversion to spicy food,
I think it will be fine.
The staff...
I think they can speak Korean.
We're going to Geoje Island soon.
I need to go on a diet.
To wear a bikini.
So you're in charge of this.
I want you to always be full.
I'm already full, haha.
I need to lose weight.
So what's the score for the Khinkali?
This one is also an 8 or 9.
That high?
So out of the three, which was the most delicious?
The soup, or...
the bread!?
When Olha came last time,
the bread wasn't that delicious.
But trying it today,
the taste seems to have improved.
They must have gotten some feedback.
Let's make a promise, Oppa.
What?
Not to spend a lot of money.
You always tell me to make a promise.
I told you, I already don't spend a lot.
Really?
I don't spend a lot of money anymore.
Really? Is that not considered a lot?
My monthly credit card bill
is less than 1 million won. (approx. $725 USD)
Really?
Yes.
You're doing well.
But I see...
you were on the Karrot app again this morning?
Karrot? No, I didn't buy anything.
I just asked a question.
But why ask if you don't intend to buy it?
I was going to buy it secretly, but...
they said they can't make a transaction on the weekend.
Olha only sells on Karrot.
Bobby only buys.
How can a married couple be so different?
No...
I didn't buy it.
In the end.
In the end, you didn't buy it, but...
I always have to check.
There wasn't much of a price difference with a new one.
haha
So I'm going to buy a new one.
But it's not broken,
and you say you're changing the TV?
Then Olha will get angry.
I'll sell the TV and then change the TV.
haha
It is about time to change it.
Did I buy it in 2012?
Really? That's fine.
I usually use things for 30 years, haha.
It's about time for the TV to break.
You can't break it on purpose, you know?
Well, you never know, haha.
Ah! But there's one important thing.
Something I want to tell you.
From the beginning until we got married,
you paid for most of
the dating expenses, right?
Back then,
did you not think it was strange?
Not really.
I can pay, what's the big deal?
Did I never pay once?
I don't really remember.
I never paid once.
But instead, Olha...
not long after we started dating,
I gave you an Apple Watch as a gift.
So I want to explain that a bit.
First, in the former Soviet countries,
there's a belief that it's right for the man
to pay 100% for dates.
If you go Dutch,
it just means he's not interested in the woman.
But it's not because the woman
cares about money,
it's because we were raised that way.
So, instead of Olha
paying for dating expenses,
I paid for our wedding with my money.
So over there,
if a man doesn't pay
for the woman on a date,
does she think he's not that into her?
But instead, he would buy expensive gifts.
But young people
might not be like that,
but that culture still remains strong.
Now that we've eaten everything,
shall we go?
The bill wasn't that high.
It's the price of omakase for one person.
It's 53,000 won? (approx. $38 USD)
Yes, and we ate until we were so full.
In Korea, you usually pay when you leave,
but here,
you pay while still sitting at the table.
All done.
Thanks for the meal.
Olha prepared all this,
and I'm happy that you liked it.
I feel like I could fly.
The lip balm was here the whole time.
You're living a happy life, Oppa.
You were filming like this the whole time?
I was filming like this the whole time, haha.
So, Oppa, what are your thoughts on today?
It was my first time trying it, and it was delicious.
It was good.
It was extremely delicious.
If we reached 10,000 views,
we said we'd go to Geoje Island, but...
we achieved it so quickly.
So let's set a new goal.
Again?!
When we reach 100,000 subscribers...
100,000?!
I know it's a long way off, but...
let's go to Ukraine together then.
Okay.
You haven't been there yet,
and you haven't met my dad yet either.
With the power of YouTube...
Yes!!
We have to go quickly.
And...
Olha has something to buy here,
so let's stop by for a moment.
Now that Olha has bought all her favorite desserts,
let's go home.
Thank you so much for watching until the end today.

Please!
This has been Hanu Couple!
Next, we'll go to Geoje Island.
Okay!!!
But Oppa...
Lately, Olha...
it's been 8 years since I've been to Ukraine.
I've been thinking I really want to go.
But it's dangerous.
It is dangerous.
But still, for me...
it's been a long time since I've seen my friends,
and my grandfather is very old now.
It breaks my heart.
So let's think about it.
Okay.
How we can go.
I think that will put my mind at ease.
