On the 237th episode of KBS Joy's 'Ask Anything' on the 16th, the story of 'Tourette Syndrome', which recorded over 10 million views on YouTube as part 2 of the special series on the current status of hot people, revisited the Bodhisattva house.
Seo Jang-hoon, seeing the appearance of a contestant with Tourette Syndrome who showed a bright smile from the beginning, unlike three years ago, said, "Nowadays, if you don't tell me you have Tourette Syndrome, you won't know," and Lee Soo-geun added, "I feel like a hip-hop singer came to me because he said he couldn't rap."
The storyteller is currently in a state of much improvement compared to three years ago when her vocal tics were severe, but after appearing on 'Ask Me Anything', behavioral tics recurred in her neck and she has had to undergo as many as four neck surgeries so far, resulting in deeper surgical scars and nerve damage. He said that he went through a difficult time due to the dulled senses in his entire body, but has now largely overcome it.
With the desire to live like a human being, I decided to undergo risky deep brain stimulation surgery, but due to unavoidable circumstances, the surgery date was pushed back and I was suffering. When I saw the name of the medicine written in a supportive comment, I got a prescription just in case. Since then, my symptoms have improved by 70-80% compared to before. He said that he is enjoying the joy of being able to live like normal people as the frequency has decreased.
When asked when things started to get better, the person with Tourette Syndrome who shyly confessed to being in a relationship and said, “I talked about my girlfriend first,” surprisingly, thanks to the relationship formed through ‘Ask Anything’, many people have thankfully received financial support since the broadcast three years ago. He contacted me with an offer, but while I was only accepting his thoughts, his girlfriend, who was working in the sports industry, offered to "lend me space for rehabilitation exercise," and they became lovers while working out together, and he shyly revealed that they have continued their happy relationship to this day.
However, since Tourette Syndrome is a disorder with no cure, Seo Jang-hoon responded to the person who said, “I am afraid that my symptoms will get worse again like before,” and said, “I will tell you why you do not need to worry.” He continued, “You worked tirelessly to get better, and your efforts paid off. think. He said words of support, saying, “Even if the same situation comes, we can overcome it again.”
Finally, when Lee Soo-geun said, “I want to tell you what I wanted to say to my girlfriend who had the courage to reach out to me first during a difficult time,” the person with Tourette Syndrome, whose smile never left her face, cried and said, “I know that my parents spent their whole lives trying to help me get better.” “I felt like my heart was breaking when I saw my friend doing the same thing,” he said, recalling those difficult days and at the same time saying to his girlfriend, “Thank you so much for just existing! Along with the message, “I love you!”, he left a comment about his return visit to ‘Ask Me Anything’, saying, “Thank you for coming back with a smile.”
Meanwhile, like the 'real-life version of Sky Castle', the storyteller, a doctor who grew up with doctor parents his whole life and is stressed by his parents who are trying to manage not only him but also his boyfriend, also visited 'Ask Anything' on this day.
My doctor parents, who value honor, said that they could never tolerate a boyfriend who graduated from a community college, so they not only forced me to write down all of my boyfriend's personal information, but also turned on the camcorder and said, "I have no legacy to pass on to you," and "I will not even make you a doctor." She shed tears, saying that she was having a hard time because her parents were urging her to break up with her boyfriend, making threats such as “I will charge you half of the child support.”
Seo Jang-hoon said he wanted to say something to the storyteller's boyfriend rather than the storyteller, saying, “I hope we break up with the storyteller quickly. I wish I didn't marry into a family like this. He made a direct comment, saying, “Why should I suffer such humiliation?” and told the storyteller, “I feel sorry for you, but this is the only solution to change my parents’ village.”
He then turned to the storyteller's parents and said, “The days when people were evaluated only based on their education and occupation are over. “You need to know properly,” he said. “The boyfriend of the storyteller is a person who has nothing to regret. He gave advice, saying, "It may seem like I'm going to hold on to my daughter, but that's absolutely not the case," and Lee Soo-geun also said, "Would your well-raised daughter date any random man? “Please support my only daughter’s beautiful love,” he added.
My mother secretly took my cell phone and told my boyfriend, “Break up. The storyteller, who appeared on 'Ask Anything' out of anger at the fact that she contacted him saying, "I can't tolerate it," said that thanks to the Bodhisattvas, "it became a turning point in my life," and returned with a firm determination that she would not break up because of her parents.
Also, on this day's broadcast, the story of a troubled man who came to seek advice from the Bodhisattvas as he was contemplating returning home, but refuted and denied everything they said, making the two Bodhisattvas angry, and a middle school girl who dreams of becoming a veterinarian but suffers from emetophobia and is worried. .
