Group AKMU (AKMU) Lee Suhyun has blossomed again.
On the 9th, Lee Suhyun posted on her social account, "Thanks to everyone who wished me happiness, I have blossomed again. Thank you to my family and friends who fought by my side, colleagues and seniors who supported me from their places, Academy who knew everything for a long time but didn't ask and waited, Specially Meng Coach, Gaegul-gun thank you. Really, thank you so much. I love you," along with photos.
Lee Suhyun added, "The fight with myself was the hardest and most painful thing I've ever experienced, but thanks to it I think I learned a little how to bloom again even if I lose someday. I will cherish life and love and sing joyfully!! We are spring color."
The photos released together captured the process of Lee Suhyun overcoming her slump and blossoming again. Lee Suhyun took her brother Lee Chanhyuk's hand and went outside again, and through health management including weight loss and mental care she picked up the mic and sang again.
Lee Suhyun's process of overcoming her slump was revealed on the recently aired tvN "You Quiz on the Block." Lee Suhyun said, "It started as a slump about work, and by enduring the painful feelings the slump about life hit me hard. I was so confident I could fill any empty space, but I couldn't even fill half of half. The disappointment I felt about myself there was huge. Thinking I was nothing hurt me, and I continued in a painful state until my brother came."
Lee Suhyun recalled, "I was so tired of other people worrying about me. When I went to music shows everyone was so thin that I always had to lose weight. With the slump and self-censorship overlapping, I let everything go. Food was the biggest thing that could fill the mental void. I binged to the point of daily overeating. Of course I gained weight rapidly, and my skin stretched. With my self-esteem and confidence at rock bottom, I stopped interacting with people. My social anxiety worsened and I was afraid of people looking at me."
In particular, Lee Suhyun said, "I thought it would be solved when my brother came, but my brother ran forward like a racehorse, only looking ahead. As my brother's color deepened and he had things he wanted to do, the fun of doing things together began to disappear. When he told me we have to do music this way, I said I would give up AKMU. Singing, working and being on stage weren't enjoyable, so I began a hikikomori life then. I blocked out the sunlight and lived like that for about two years. I gave up on the future and saw no better future for myself. In my lethargy I didn't even know how serious my condition was, but when my brother came he said, 'You say you're okay, but the fact you say you're okay now seems most dangerous,' and with many very small suggestions he made, I thought if I could live like before I should hold on to my brother," she said.
Meanwhile, AKMU, which includes Lee Suhyun, released their fourth full-length album "Bloom" on various music sites at 6 p.m. on the 7th.
