'I cry when I open my eyes.' Bae Jung-nam confessed to Petros after losing his pet dog Bell.



Actor Bae Jung-nam expressed his hard feelings after suffering from Petros syndrome after the death of his dog Bell.

In SBS 'My Ugly Baby', which aired on the 9th, Bae Jung-nam "It was so hard that I kept crying whenever I opened my eyes and fell asleep." I stayed at home, and my acquaintances recommended me to go out for a walk, but the Han River path I walked alone was sadder. He confessed his loss.

Bae Jeong-nam said it was unbearably painful to walk alone on the path he and Bell used to walk with every day. In the broadcast, a veterinarian conducted a 'Petros Grief Scale' test to see how sad Bae Jeong-nam was, and his score was 34, close to the risk level of 37. Experts also say "Leaving this way could lead to post-traumatic stress disorder."He advised that expressing emotions and communicating with fans through SNS are rather positive signs of recovery. Bae Jung-nam also thanked his fans deeply, saying, `I felt that I was not alone.'




Although he suffered deep sorrow while disconnected from the world for a while, Bae Jung-nam "The pain is too much than expected. I don't think there will be any more pain in my life." Nevertheless, there are times I spent with Bell, so I am who I am now," he said, vowing to gradually recover his daily life. Finally "Now I want to leave that sadness as happiness. Thanks to the consolation from the fans, I realized that I'm not alone again."
