Seo In-young returns to broadcasting after 10 years overcoming panic disorder and depression: "My boyfriend's support gave me strength"

Singer Seo In-young appeared on SBS’s ″Anything I Can Do for You - Secretary Team″ and revealed her long hiatus and comeback process. She stated on the show that she took a break from activities for about 10 years due to panic disorder and depression, and went through a difficult time after her divorce. Seo In-young shared her feelings at the time, saying, ″Actually, I had panic disorder and severe depression, so I wasn’t appearing on broadcasts. I was so scared that I suffered from the illness for 10 years.″ On the show, Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-gyu accompanied Seo In-young as one-day managers to her underwear photo shoot. When the shoot began, Seo In-young showed a professional attitude, and Kim Kwang-gyu admired, ″It looks great. She’s professional. Even for men, revealing underwear is not easy. Showing underwear is professional. In that sense, it’s cool.″ When Seo In-young expressed concerns about her appearance during the shoot, Lee Seo-jin said, ″We can fix it in post-production. Don’t worry.″ Seo In-young revealed that she is communicating openly with the public through her YouTube channel ″Reformed Seo In-young,″ honestly sharing stories about her bare face, plastic surgery, divorce, and new relationships. She said, ″I started it just to let people know that I’m alive, and I didn’t even realize it became a huge hit. I think it was good to make a comeback through YouTube.″ She added, ″I’m showing everything to the point where people ask, ’How honest can you be?’ Of course, there are haters, but there are many supportive comments, so it’s nice.″ She also shared an episode about her past spending habits. Seo In-young said, ″My dad calculated and said it was three buildings. He has all the ledgers. From my dad’s point of view, I’m crazy. After spending tens of millions of won on liposuction, my dad took away my card, so I get 1 million won allowance.″ When Kim Kwang-gyu joked, ″If you hadn’t bought shoes or bags, you would have buildings here,″ Seo In-young laughed and admitted it. Seo In-young also opened up about her concerns regarding her boyfriend, with whom she plans to marry at the end of the year. She said, ″This time, I really want to live well,″ and Lee Seo-jin advised, ″You shouldn’t get married with that mindset. You need to be more cautious the second time.″ Lee Seo-jin evaluated, ″I don’t think she needs to reform herself. She’s very hardworking, thoughtful, and never crosses the line.″ Seo In-young married a non-celebrity in 2023 but divorced the following year, and she is currently preparing to remarry in the second half of the year to Choi Ji-hoon, CEO of the content creative company NP, who is six years older than her. She revealed that her boyfriend’s support has been a great strength in her comeback. ″Secretary Team″ airs every Friday at 11:10 PM.
