Lee Ho-sun, a professor at Soongsil Cyber University, shed tears while confessing the most painful moment he experienced as a counselor.
Lee Ho-sun appeared as a guest on the MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star' that aired on the 28th. As a psychological counseling expert, he gained attention for providing realistic advice to couples contemplating divorce on JTBC's 'Divorce Reflection Camp'.
On that day, Lee Ho-sun said, "The hardest situation during counseling is when a client dies," and cautiously added, "People who originally have deep depression or trauma from extreme experiences may not be able to overcome the pressure when faced with new psychological stress and may make extreme choices."
He continued, "I have experienced that about three times," and shared, "When I experienced it for the first time, I couldn't eat for about two months. I felt like an idiot and thought it was my fault that the person ended up that way. I also thought, 'If I hadn't said that.' After that incident, I took psychiatric medication."
Lee Ho-sun mentioned that he also receives counseling and education to relieve his own emotions during counseling, saying, "The most common thing I hear during those times is 'It's not your fault,'" and he shed tears.
Wiping his tears and regaining his composure, he changed the mood by saying, "There are also many funny things that happen during counseling," and added, "There are people who do handstands and breakdance in front of me while exercising. The scenes I see while counseling are quite surreal."
Earlier in April, it was reported that a participant from 'Divorce Reflection Camp' passed away two months after the broadcast. Lee Ho-sun mourned the news of the participant's death, saying, "I commemorate those who lived passionately and kindly, and unfortunately left us. I pray for the family left behind. I pray for hope at the end of tears. RIP."
