Solbi confesses to being treated for depression during her hiatus

Singer Solbi guested on the July 16th episode of KBS's 'Confident and Free' and discussed the hardships of her two year hiatus.

She revealed, "During my period of break, I received psychotherapy and read a lot of books. Everyone was so surprised when they learned that I was seeing a psychiatrist, but I was confident. I went to get treated for depression."

When the MC's asked her to elaborate, Solbi discussed her battle with depression by further revealing, "I'm not the type to hide things. Before I received treatments for my depression, I'd try to relieve my stress by going out for coffee or drinks with my friends, but that just ended up backfiring because I became more stressed by worrying about gaining weight."

She continued, "Now, I read a lot of books instead of going out to drink. I used to shop as well before but I don't have the money nor peace of mind for it anymore."

Netizens left messages of encouragement following the broadcast, commenting, "It's good to see her confident with herself", and "I hope she finds strength".
