Actress Lee Sun-jung has honestly opened up about her past struggles with panic disorder following a whirlwind marriage and divorce.
On May 13, Lee Sun-jung appeared on Shin Jung-hwan’s channel ‘Dak-ter-sin’ to share updates on her life.
When Shin Jung-hwan greeted her, mentioning it had been a long time since they last met, Lee Sun-jung calmly noted, “There were some bad things happening.”
Back in 2012, Lee Sun-jung shocked the public by registering her marriage with entertainer LJ just 45 days after they met. However, the marriage was short-lived, ending in a mutual divorce after only two and a half months.
Reflecting on that time, she confessed, “Even now, I wonder, ‘Why did I do that?'” She also shut down rumors of a “shotgun wedding,” clarifying, “That’s not the case.”
She continued, “He was so good to me at the time. Because of that warmth… I thought love would last forever,” adding, “People divorce when they just aren’t a match.” When Shin Jung-hwan asked if it was only their minds that didn’t match, Lee Sun-jung coolly replied, “Our bodies didn’t match either. Happy now?”
“It’s already been 14 years, so I’m not trying to make a big deal out of it; I’m just regretting it and moving on,” she added.
Lee Sun-jung also revealed that she suffered from extreme stress following the divorce. “After the breakup, I was so stressed that I spent my time exercising and drinking. I felt so empty at night. After repeating that cycle, I developed panic disorder six months later,” she shared. “Until about five years ago, I regretted it a lot, wondering why I married him, but in the end, I was the only one who lost. I’m still in the process of overcoming it.”
