Seo In Young suffered from depression

On the next episode of SBS’s Ya Shim Man Man 2, airing on the 22nd, Jewelry’s Seo In Young admitted that the reason why she took an impulsive vacation to America was because she suffered from depression.

In Young revealed that she thought she could handle the stress from her excessively packed schedule, but the stress did eventually get to her, causing her to feel depressed most of the time. To recuperate from her dejected morale, she made the decision to cancel all her activities and go on a trip to America. In Young also confessed that her distressed mental state was so bad that she was prescribed mood stabilizers which she took at night before she went to bed.

Seo In Young suffered from depression

I won’t make fun of Seo In Young’s confession, in view of the fact that there have been many tragic suicides in the past year that were more or less caused due to depression. However, this is the second time in recent weeks that a majorly successful K-celeb has admitted to being depressed due to working too much. Truthfully, it’s hard for me to understand how a celebrity can be depressed for having too full of a plate.

Fame is a fickle bitch and I’m sure many once famous celebrities whose star has faded away into the dark unknown would kill to have their phone ring off the hook with job offers. Nonetheless, it’s good that In Young did what she needed to do to get over her dispirited state of mind. In Young will be making a comeback in August with Jewelry.

Ah, she was prescribed medication. It’s good that a KPOP star comes out in the open with this, the more stigma is removed from the issue of mental illnesses, the more people will seek treatment - always a plus. And it’s good to know that she’s suffering from neurosis (depression) instead of psychosis (schizophrenia). Most Asians don’t treat mental suffering as seriously as they should, so it’s good that she’s frank about it.

OMG SEE More celebrities Need to be like her.
At least she took notice to he depression and comforted it, instead of commiting suicide.
But honestly i totally agree, How can you be a celebrity and can’t handle a schedule.

it’s better to take a vacation break then to take your life.  Good she recognized what was going on with her and then got help for her depression.

who doesn’t suffer from depression??? im sick of celebrities “admitting” that they suffer from depression. you dont have to be rich and famous to get depressed from a jam packed schedule.

lol im obviously probably suffering from depression. but no one cares cuz im not a celebrity.

I completely agree with #118.  What make’s a celebrity’s life more valuable than a regular persons?  I never got hundreds of people pitying me when I went through depression and anxiety, suicide hazard times.  I got yelled at.

I can completely understand her depression from being over-worked…I’m glad she took a break and I hope things go better for her from now on…I think a lot of these celebrities are overworked…I just noticed in Introducing a Stars Friend with SuJu and 2pm that they must have been filming that between around 4am and at least 6am b/c the sun was coming up as they were filming…All these stars have so many schedules they barely get to sleep and I’m sure its hard on them…I just hope there aren’t anymore suicides…

Seo In Young Fighting!!!!

i love how this post was written and i completely agree: Truthfully, it’s hard for me to understand how a celebrity can be depressed for having too full of a plate. many once famous celebrities whose star has faded away into the dark unknown would kill to have their phone ring off the hook with job offers it is exactly what i felt like saying. im glad she had the right mind to take a vacation and relax

Awee, I hope she’s doin better

So sad.  Glad she’s herself again.  Its easy to get depressed when all you do is work and have no time for yourself-to be your own person.

hope everything is alright now.

i wish the best for her and i hope she recovers. we’ve got too much people committing suicide in this industry and that’s a shame, so i hope she gets some rest and i hope she can pull herself out of this depression

depressed about working?  usually, its the other way around isn’t it?  im sure there are tons of artists in korea dying to be in her position at the moment.  not only that but there are tons of people without jobs that cant even make their mortgages who i could see being depressed.  Seo In Young should be grateful that shes working.  Now, i understand that the schedules they have for artists in korea are ridiculous but what if she wasnt working?  Let me guess, she would be depressed?

 
aimaim_'s avatar

good thing she didn’t succumb to her “job”
and took a break when she needed it.

afterall, health is most important. smile

Depression does not discriminate - it can affect anyone and everyone. Just because she’s a celebrity doesn’t mean she’s immune to it. Feelings and emotions are all relative. Just because she has a better life than most of the world doesn’t invalidate how she feels.

aww . hope shes better now.. <3

That’s sad >________< But it’s a good thing she went on a vacation xD

i dont think its for any of us to judge those in the world of fame and fortune. i think its PERFECTLY understandable that these people would suffer from depression. they dont lead a “normal” life, and this is where “the grass is always greener on the other side” applies.
