Broadcaster Lee Kyung-gyu spoke about his panic disorder.

On the 21st, a video titled "Even Lee Kyung-gyu Collapses: The Worst Disease, Middle-Aged Depression" was released on the YouTube channel 'God Kyung-gyu'.

In the released video, Lee Kyung-gyu met with Park Sang-mi, a professor at Hanyang University and a psychotherapist, to discuss depression and panic disorder.

Lee Kyung-gyu said, "People in their teens and 20s say they can't help but laugh just by looking at falling leaves, but we feel depressed just by looking at falling leaves. Because I have been suffering from panic disorder for a long time, people around me ask, 'What is the difference between depression and panic disorder?' I tell them that depression is a disease where you want to die, while panic disorder is a disease where you feel like you are going to die. I believe panic disorder reflects a stronger attachment to life."

In response, Park Sang-mi (Prof.) explained, "You really seem like a philosopher and a psychologist. Just as a high fever requires antipyretics, mental illness also requires treatment."

Park Sang-mi (Prof.) said, "I also suffered from panic disorder for a long time. With panic disorder, you suddenly can't breathe, and you can't hear anything. I collapsed several times like that and even grabbed a stranger passing by on the street, begging them to save me. Panic disorder is a symptom of screaming for help. No one on the entire planet has died from panic disorder symptoms, even though they felt like they were going to die." This statement surprised everyone.

Furthermore, Park Sang-mi (Prof.) emphasized, "You should reduce consideration and yielding toward others by half and treat yourself well. If someone rudely crosses the line, you must speak up."

Lee Kyung-gyu agreed, saying, "In this regard, one must be strict. I think too much about whether my words might hurt the other person."

Meanwhile, in recently released YouTube content, Lee Kyung-gyu displayed somewhat awkward speech patterns, leading to rumors about his health. In response, his agency stated, "Recently, we conducted filming that required long hours of physical exertion, such as parenting and fishing, which caused issues with his condition," and added, "There are no problems with his health."
