'You Quiz on the Block' singer Seo In Young spoke about a tumultuous life.
On the 22nd episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereafter 'You Quiz'), singer Seo In Young appeared. With her YouTube channel 'Seo In Young's Reformation' she has newly showcased her unique charm, and fans who had not forgotten the splendor of 2008 have returned and are enthusiastically supporting her.
Seo In Young said, "I prepared some clothes to come out here. There are so many production crew," and added with a breezy greeting, "There seem to be many elegant people here; why did you call me?" She then spoke calmly, "After resting for a long time, I didn't know where to appear on broadcasts. I'm grateful to be invited here, but the profanity incident was something I caused, so I think I have to bear it," and proceeded with the talk matter-of-factly.
Yu Jae-seok summarized the incident by saying, "She swore at her manager and lay low. After that, she did a live broadcast." Seo In Young said, "I ate tasty food and became happy. But that image was made into an article and people saw me for the first time," and added, "I thought I should start with things I dislike. Jun Ji-hyun unnie said she does one thing she dislikes. So I tried it too." Seo In Young, who said she lost 15kg afterward, revealed that her main diet consists of raw food and eggs.
Seo In Young said coolly, "If you want to diet, you have to go to extremes at first. Well, my life is also very extreme," which brought laughter.
Yu Jae-seok asked about the viral YouTube title, "Is the title 'Seo In Young's Reformation' to your liking?" Seo In Young said, "Would I like it? I don't. I wondered if I lived to that extent," and added, "Actually, for a while I couldn't laugh. I couldn't speak like with aphasia, and I suffered severe panic disorder and depression. After the profanity incident, my mother passed away, and I got married to avoid things but that didn't go my way either. When everything piled up at once, it felt like being hit on the head with a frying pan," saying she had prepared herself considerably for a comeback.
Seo In Young said she sold as many as 800 pairs of shoes and sold luxury bags while saying she had swiped her credit card excessively in past spending, and admitted frankly, "I was foolish."
Seo In Young said she once made a difficult choice because of panic disorder and depression. Her family found her and she was able to survive, but after her birth mother passed away and she married and divorced within a year, she was disheartened. Seo In Young said, "Actually after the divorce I tried once more. My parents don't know about this. But a friend held on to me. After going through a divorce I thought I was a failure. I thought, I'm a failure."
However, Seo In Young was able to get back on her feet once more thanks to her younger sister's devoted care, her friends' encouragement and her family's strong love.
Seo In Young cried, "After the 'profanity incident' I collapsed very often. So my sister even lived with me. Since I would suddenly collapse, my sister always took care of me. My sister developed an anxiety disorder because of me and had to go to the hospital. I'm so sorry," and yet she said, "If my YouTube does well, I'll do good deeds and make donations."
