Actor Hyun Bong-sik confessed to suffering from burnout.

On the 19th, Hyun Bong-sik appeared as a guest on MBN's variety program 'Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night'.

That day, Hyun Bong-sik spoke about burnout: "It was around the time the movie 'Emergency Declaration' ended. I suddenly felt overwhelmed for no reason. I didn't know what was wrong. I knew I had to go to the set, but as the shooting time approached, I couldn't memorize my lines and just stared blankly. That was during my sixth or seventh year since debut," he said.

He continued, "I tried telling people around me that I was struggling, but they didn't relate at all. Everyone I spoke with were unknown actors. There wasn't a single person who could empathize with my situation. Still, So Sok-sa (CEO) understood what I was going through," he added.

Kim Ju-ha asked, "I heard you went to the hospital and they called you a 'skeleton'?" Hyun Bong-sik replied, "After that, I developed sleep disorders. For days on end, I couldn't sleep continuously for more than three hours. I would fall asleep and wake up repeatedly. I even had nightmares. Then, severe hair loss set in. I felt my health deteriorating constantly. When I went to the hospital for a checkup, they told me my physical condition was like that of a 'skeleton,' shocking everyone."

Hyun Bong-sik said, "Since I didn't know the cause initially, I started with an allergy test. My reaction to house dust allergies came back at 400. They prescribed medication for me. After taking it, I was finally able to sleep."

Regarding his hair loss, he also revealed, "A couple of friends took me to the hospital. The doctor recognized me and said, 'Actor, you can't let this happen,' then gave me injections in my scalp. It was during the filming of 'This Love Is Inevitable' and 'The Outlaws4.' Some scenes were shot with wigs, and I also had black dye applied."
