'Ask the Master' Seo Jang-hoon has stepped back a bit from his obsession with cleanliness.
On the 31st, on KBS JOY's 'What Ever You Ask', a viewer shared their concern: "After having a child, I've become obsessed with hygiene. I think it's natural, but people around me ask why I live so hard. This wasn't always my nature; after my child started picking up and eating all sorts of things, my worries expanded."
They continued, "When I put items in the cart at the supermarket, I wash everything once I get home. I clean everything before putting it in the refrigerator. Even snack bags are wiped down. I never bring in delivery boxes. After the delivery drivers leave, I do a thorough cleaning. There's a rule when I get home: as soon as I enter, I must take off my socks and wash up."
Seo Jang-hoon, who is sensitive to cleanliness and hygiene issues, said, "People like us don't have time to rest. We constantly need to think of ways. Even if it's not the best solution, we must consider alternatives. I get tired too. So I ask myself: Is this really how I should be wasting my time? I'm squandering both time and energy. I try to minimize wasted time as much as possible."
He then added, "As I've passed forty, my physical strength has declined. By trying to stick to rules I set for myself, I risk losing mental well-being. Compromise with yourself. Tell your children and husband to follow only up to this point, and let go of the rest. Keep asking yourself: Is this right? Is continuing like this correct? Eventually, you'll find a line where you can give up."
