In the fourth episode of Netflix's daily variety show 'Student Ji-C', airing today (Monday, 13th) at 5 PM, psychiatrist Lee Kyung-jun joins as a guest to provide an engaging psychological exploration of narcissists.
Dr. Lee Kyung-jun captivates the audience by revealing five characteristics of narcissists, who are known for their excessive self-love and belief in their own uniqueness, along with real-life examples. As the discussion progresses, Ji Suk-jin (60) humorously questions himself, saying, "The more I hear, is this me?" Dr. Lee also adds a candid confession, "I've thought 'is this me?' before," which reportedly leaves the set in laughter.
The episode covers a wide spectrum of narcissism, from self-diagnosis methods to genetic influences and differences from people with high self-esteem. Ji Suk-jin's personal experiences with narcissism also leave a lasting impression. Reflecting on his challenging early career, he shares, "There were times of despair. I endured by thinking 'I am unique, I can do anything.'"
Expectations are high for Mimi's role as an enthusiastic questioner alongside Ji Suk-jin. Mimi, who has a keen interest in psychological content, mentions, "Narcissists are good at gaslighting and tend to attack psychologically unstable people." When she cites a scenario from the drama 'Marry My Husband', Dr. Lee jokingly invites her to "Clinic Room 2," causing laughter on set.
Netflix's 'Student Ji-C' is a reality-based knowledge exploration show that breaks down the barriers of knowledge with raw questions, airing every Monday at 5 PM.
