Actor Lee Soo-kyung revealed that stress from a business failure was behind the difficult period she spent suffering from a mysterious skin disease, drawing attention.
On the 12th, the YouTube channel "Lee Soo-kyung Career" released a video titled "Turns out she's a failed small-business owner?! The retirement crisis story revealed at a virtual housewarming | EP.01 life career."
In the video that day, Lee Soo-kyung attracted attention by candidly confessing the small-business failures and health deterioration she experienced during her hiatus from acting while showcasing a wide range of banter.
Earlier, Lee Soo-kyung said on the variety show "Solo Because" that she went through such a difficult time that she stopped activities because of a mysterious skin disease.
At the time, she said the skin condition was so severe it could not be covered with makeup, making it hard to stand in front of cameras, and she confessed she also suffered from depression and social withdrawal, which saddened everyone. It was a serious condition that prevented outdoor activities.
In relation to this, she also discussed her skin condition in the new video. She went on to say that as a freelance actress worried about unstable income, she tried small businesses such as an izakaya and a brunch café but failed repeatedly, and her health greatly deteriorated in the process. She said, "My face was broken out so I couldn't appear in public, treatment wasn't easy, and I couldn't work," and revealed she ultimately had to cancel her savings and insurance.
However, during the hiatus Lee Soo-kyung studied psychological counseling and aromatherapy and chose growth over despair. As a result, she obtained certifications. Even so, Lee Soo-kyung said she considered retiring. But she is now recovering her health and resuming activities, and fans' support continues.
