On the 21st, a video titled “Seo In-young VS Lee Ji-hye Talking About 20 Years Ago and Crying Hard, the Greatest Reason? (Dating Counseling, Rumor Clarification)” was uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Gwanjong Unnie’.
During the episode, Seo In-young shared, “You only understand once you’ve hit rock bottom. I always assumed I would keep working and be successful. Thinking that it was enough to just be a good singer was actually quite arrogant.” She added, “The people around me were filtered out, and those who were meant to leave, left. Some reached out once I started doing well again; I won’t hate them, but I will remember.”
Mentioning that her ex-boyfriends don’t reach out, she confessed, “I’m actually in a “some” relationship right now. I don’t see why I shouldn’t be dating!”
Lee Ji-hye offered some advice, saying, “First of all, I hope you don’t meet someone who is overly devoted to you. Even devoted people can change. It’s hard to remain devoted even to one’s own children for a lifetime, so if someone is devoted to you only because of love and that feeling changes, will you break up again?”
She emphasized, “You need to see who the person really is. You should be able to picture how your life together would look. Financially, they might have a lot of money or they might not, but you must look at their sincerity and sense of responsibility. You need to know if they have the responsibility and sincerity to protect you even if you’re unable to work and are just lying down.”
When Lee Ji-hye told her that marriage isn’t a necessity, Seo In-young joked, “Honestly, if I don’t sign the papers, I think my heart might change. I won’t have this face forever!”
She then recalled a difficult time, saying, “My mother passed away suddenly before my marriage, and I got married immediately after. I had planned to retire. Because it wasn’t the marriage I had imagined, I felt lonely and fell into a depression. The depression hit because I wasn’t working. I spent everything and had no money left, so I sold all my luxury goods to cover my living expenses. I didn’t have much, and I kept wondering, “How will I survive if I don’t work?””
