Lee Byung-hun confessed his panic disorder and difficulty breathing during a live broadcast, 'Feeling naked' (Ping Gye High School)



Actor Lee Byung-hun confessed that he suffers from panic disorder.

In the YouTube channel 'Out of the blue' video released on the 15th, Lee Byung-hun shared an anecdote with Shin Dong-yeop and confessed his honest feelings about panic symptoms.

He said "Shin Dong-yup was persistent enough to stay at my house for three nights"and revealed the reason for appearing in the 2021 edition of 'SNL Korea." Shin Dong-yeop said he decided to appear after bringing four bottles of good wine and strongly asking for a cast.




But the live performance was a huge burden for him. Lee Byung-hun confessed, "'I feel naked when I stand on the stage.'" As soon as I greeted him at SNL, I thought 'What if there's a panic here?' Then "Actors are fine if they take on a role and act, but they are not used to being on stage as themselves. He added that from the moment he introduced himself as 'This is Byung-hun Lee', he had difficulty breathing.

Meanwhile, Lee Byung-hun will meet with the audience with the movie 'Victory', which will be released on the 26th. In this work, which depicts a Go match between Cho Hoon-hyun and Lee Chang-ho, he plays Cho Hoon-hyun and performs enthusiastically.
