Singer and actor Yang Dong-geun complained of suffering from insomnia.
On the 13th, Yang Dong-geun wrote on his social media, "I've been tormented by nightmares these past few days and woke up at 4 a.m.," and added, "When reason is asleep and the brain is defenseless, it fixates only on anger-inducing thoughts; no matter how much I pray, the anger wells up until my body trembles."
Yang Dong-geun said, "With only two hours of sleep, I grabbed my workout clothes and started running. As if to know my burning heart, it suddenly started raining and I ended up running in the rain," and added, "When rage wells up, try running. Your mind and body stabilize and peace comes." Although brief, the short post plainly conveyed his feelings of insomnia, anger and the desire to relieve them through exercise, drawing sympathy from fans.
Earlier, Yang Dong-geun was embroiled in controversy over perceived political leanings related to supporting martial law. In August, he came under scrutiny after it became known that he attended an event that supported former President Yoon Suk-yeol's emergency martial law, and later stirred further controversy with posts and photos directed at critical public opinion. His agency explained, "There was no political intent," but fierce controversy continued.
Meanwhile, Yang Dong-geun, who debuted in the 1987 KBS drama "Tapri," has been active as both actor and singer across television, film and stage. In November, he is scheduled to meet global viewers with the Disney+ original drama "The Manipulated".
