Actress Ko So-young broke down in tears during a psychiatric consultation.
In a video uploaded to her YouTube channel titled “Reason why Ko So-young sobbed after psychiatric consultation (OCD, family history),” Ko So-young met with psychiatric specialist Lee Kwang-min.
During the session, Ko So-young shared, “I have some obsessions and a lot of worries. I think it would be good to know why I’m like this.” She added, “I usually think too much. It’s so tiring. I find myself wondering, ‘Why is my personality like this?'”
Specialist Lee Kwang-min diagnosed her as a perfectionist, stating, “You are a perfectionist who pours too much energy into trivial matters.” He further noted, “It seems your anxiety levels have increased as your children grew and you gained more free time.”
Ko So-young confessed, “I want to enjoy things for myself, but even though no one is stopping me, it doesn’t happen easily.” When asked how she wants her children to remember her, she replied, “As a friend-like mom. A mom who supports the things they love. I don’t want to be remembered as someone who sacrificed everything and just adjusted for us. Yet, I think they might perceive me that way in some aspects.”
Ko So-young expressed her relief, saying, “I feel refreshed. Now that I’ve checked in on who I am, I think I can find the courage to move forward.”
