Actor Hwang Seok-jeong revealed his life-and-death struggle with a rare pain syndrome.
On the 17th, the YouTube channel 'Sunggyeong Visits the Temple' uploaded a video titled "You Thought I Had a Serious Illness. Hwang Seok-jeong's Tearful Life Confession About Struggling Between Life and Death Due to Rare Pain (feat. Paju Yakcheonsa)."
That day, Hwang Seok-jeong said about his religion, "I was a Christian. I played the piano. In conclusion, the temple felt more comfortable."

Kim Sung-kyung told Hwang Seok-jeong, "How did you manage your one-person play 'Iliad'? I was shocked that you cried out to the world for two hours and 20 minutes, ran around everywhere, and did it all alone."
In response, Hwang Seok-jeong confessed, "I don't even know how I did it. I told you I was sick. I thought I had a serious illness."
Later, after visiting the temple with Kim Sung-kyung, Hwang Seok-jeong shared, "Life has been so exhausting that I've lost my sense of ease. My heart races, and I have obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Even panic attacks came, yet people don't realize I'm sick. This time, I was almost dying from the pain."

He continued, describing his experience with the pain syndrome: "I suffered pain that came without any reason. I couldn't sleep, lie down, or even sit still. It felt like my whole body was burning, and the pain was severe."
Hwang Seok-jeong added, "But when I realized the cause of the pain lay within me, everything around me became quiet. Since then, I've improved little by little, and now I'm not in pain. Of course, I still take medication, but I think I've become someone who can find joy in small things." He shared his recent update that his condition has significantly improved.
