Jin Seo-yeon “I had severe depression and panic disorder”

Actress Jin Seo-yeon revealed that she suffered from severe depression in the past.

In KBS 2TV's 'New Release's 'Pyeon Restaurant' (hereinafter referred to as 'Pyeon Restaurant'), which aired on May 10, the delicious food-filled daily lives of Eonam teacher Ryu Soo-young, kitchen gentleman Jang Min-ho, and self-management king Jin Seo-yeon were revealed. In particular, Jang Min-ho honestly confessed his memories of his late father, and Jin Seo-yeon honestly confessed her gratitude to her husband, who helped her overcome depression in the past.

On this day, Jin Seo-yeon invited actor Ryu Seung-soo, her close friend and neighbor of 20 years, to her house. Jin Seo-yeon prepared a delicious healthy meal (rice in a red snapper pot, seasoned vegetables) for Ryu Seung-soo, who suffers from hypochondria. The two people started talking while eating delicious food. Ryu Seung-soo recalled a time when Jin Seo-yeon suddenly changed in the past and asked why. Jin Seo-yeon said, “I couldn’t breathe during the first stage (of the play),” and “I suffered from severe depression and panic.”

Jin Seo-yeon's confession, which always showed bright energy, surprised everyone. Jin Seo-yeon recalled, “I met my current husband when I was at the hospital receiving treatment for depression.” Her husband's positive side led to Jin Seo-yeon's change. Jin Seo-yeon said, “I realized, ‘Maybe I can be happy too,’” and added, “I changed because of that person.” Ryu Seung-soo, who had been watching Jin Seo-yeon for a long time, said, "I really found a good husband."

Meanwhile, Jang Min-ho prepared a special filial piety meal for his mother on Parents' Day. Jang Min-ho's mother said she wanted to eat the bean sprout and soybean paste stew that Jang Min-ho's late father often made when he was alive. Jang Min-ho remembered and made his father's bean sprout and soybean paste stew. The power of food was great. Jang Min-ho, who tasted his father's bean sprout and soybean paste stew for the first time in decades, was immersed in deep memories.

Minho Jang said, “My father passed away in 2011. He was a great support to me in my music career.” He continued, "I always miss my father every May. If he were alive now..." he expressed his regret. He also expressed his longing for his father, saying, "I often say 'I'm fine' every time I visit him." The entire ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ family also shook their heads in agreement with Jang Min-ho’s confession.
