Lee Hye-sung, a broadcaster formerly known as an announcer, shared her experience of being a victim of school violence during her student days.

On the 30th of last month, a video titled "You Can’t Be Loved by Everyone | The Courage to Be Disliked" was released on the YouTube channel "Lee Hye-sung’s 1% Book Club."

On that day, Lee introduced the bestseller "The Courage to Be Disliked" and offered comfort to those struggling with bullying within groups.

Lee said, "There are times when the existence of a community hurts me. Of course, there are times when a certain group bullies me and makes things difficult."

She then revealed her experience as a victim at school. She stated, "If you think of school as the only community where you can belong, it would be incredibly painful to the point of being unbearable if you were subjected to school violence, bullied, or unable to make friends. I’ve been through that too."

She added, "That situation was extremely painful and difficult," noting, "But there are other communities besides school. If you realize the fact that 'a larger community will open up before me in the future,' how much strength that alone could provide."

Additionally, Lee said, "If you are suffering too much in a certain group you belong to, it is not your fault, so you can cut ties with that group," adding, "If you are being bullied at a certain company, you don’t have to stay at that company."

Lee conveyed, "When I was young, I never thought about things like this. There were no adults who would say such things to me. I couldn’t even read books like these," and added, "So whenever I meet friends or people in that situation in the future, I really wanted to make sure to tell them these words."

She further conveyed, "You are an incredibly valuable person, so you don’t need to keep staying in such a trivial group. You are a person of value who can go to a group where you fit better and become happy. Please never make any strange choices."

Meanwhile, Lee Hye-sung, a graduate of Seoul National University, joined KBS as the 43rd recruit announcer in 2016. After leaving the company in 2020, she has been working as a freelance broadcaster.
