After School alumnus Lizzy (Park Soo-young) has caused concern by making remarks implying an extreme choice during a live broadcast.
Lizzy held a live broadcast on her SNS on the 28th and spent time communicating with fans.
In that broadcast, Lizzy said she was severely depressed and made several remarks implying an extreme choice. Lizzy said, "Being a celebrity is a life where everything is exposed. I did it because I am someone who clings to attention, but don't do it. I think being a female idol has a certain difficulty."
Lizzy added that she does not regret becoming an entertainer but blames herself for her actions. She then said, "My depression is very severe, and I talk about whether to die or live, and TikTok was suspended so I'm doing this here," drawing attention.
In particular, Lizzy said, "People in a good world ask why I would die, but it's hard for me to live. I don't know why people talk about that," and showed tears.
Lizzy repeatedly said, "I'll try living once. I'll somehow try to live," and said, "I really want to die. It's fine to live and it's fine not to live," showing she was struggling. Fans are also worried about Lizzy's psychological state, saying her depression is severe.
Lizzy is a former member of After School and ORANGE CARAMEL and has pursued music, variety shows and acting simultaneously. However, she halted activities after controversy over a 2021 drunk driving collision, was fined 15 million won and took time to reflect.
