[Sportschosun Jeong Yu-na] Actress Lee Soo-kyung said she once considered retiring because of a severe skin condition, and opened up about the period when she struggled with depression and social anxiety.
On the episode of tvN STORY's "What to Do with Leftovers" that aired on the 22nd, actors Lee Tae-gon and Lee Soo-kyung appeared.
That day, Lee Soo-kyung revealed the painful reason she had to stay away from the public for a while. She said, "My immune system was very weak, so I broke out in hives from my face to my entire body. That gave me social anxiety."
Lee Soo-kyung, who said she had even thought about retiring because of the severe skin condition, added, "I went through depression and social anxiety," drawing sympathy.
Lee Soo-kyung said the cause was a weakened immune system and stress. She explained, "Since I'm a freelancer, I kept wondering how I was supposed to live, and I worried a lot."
She also said she went through a difficult period after failed business ventures, adding, "I tried running an izakaya and a brunch cafe. I like drinking, so I gave it a shot, but I couldn't manage both."
