A 23-year-old woman who appeared on 'Ask the Wise' confessed her story of struggling with depression and alcohol addiction before turning to drugs.
On the episode of KBS Joy's variety show 'Ask the Wise' broadcast on the 26th, a 23-year-old guest who had previously used drugs appeared and shared her story.
When Lee Soo-geun asked about her troubles that day, the guest began by saying, "I fell into depression and even turned to drugs. Now I want to live while helping other people."

The guest revealed, "I grew up in a single-parent household as a child and felt very lonely. After entering university, I developed depression and alcohol addiction." She continued, "Eventually, I took a leave of absence, but my condition got worse. Thinking that if things were going to be like this, I should at least graduate quickly, I returned to school."
However, the words she heard from her classmates after returning left a wound. The guest confided, "The first thing I heard from my classmates was severe profanity. I was told I was 'the kind of person who does drugs in a corner of a club,' and that sentence stuck in my mind."
She confessed, "I thought, 'Of course, I look like a drug addict to others.' I was already living the life of an alcoholic, and at the time, I kept thinking about how I should just die."

She continued, "I thought that even if I added drugs to this, my life wouldn't change any more. I think I already considered myself at rock bottom," explaining why she turned to drugs.
However, drugs did not become a way to escape her pain. The guest revealed, "Instead, my mental illness and alcohol addiction became extremely severe. I kept looking for ways to get drugs again." She continued, "As a result, I became even more out of my mind. I simply couldn't be alone," recalling the situation at the time.
During that period, she said she became pregnant. The guest confided, "I was living like that when I got pregnant and had an abortion."
She continued, "After having the abortion, I thought that even if I die, I should save lives and make sure people like me don't end up where I am," conveying her wish to help others.
