Tony An Suffered from Depression for Many Years
The recently enlisted former H.O.T. member Tony An is rumored to have been depressed over the past four years. According to the friend of the artist, he first showed symptoms of depression four years ago, but few people noticed it since it was not serious at the time.
About two years ago, his depression worsened to the degree that required him to take medications everyday. The source also said that depression is the reason Tony was not active in the music scene over the past couple of years.
Tony had to put off enlisting in the past because of the illness, but did not want to inflame any more controversies. He enlisted on Nov. 4th despite concerns expressed by families and friends who know about his condition. He enlisted quietly in fear of the media and the general public discovering his secret ailment... well the secret is out now.
Poor Tony, I hope you feel better and make it through these two years. After the series of suicides, this is just another sign of the brutality of the Korean entertainment industry. Let's wish the best for our own favorite studs and divas.
