Seo In-young finds stability with boyfriend Choi Ji-hoon before December wedding

Singer Seo In-young revealed she slept for almost eight years due to extreme anxiety during an upcoming episode of "Seo In-young's Trend Curmudgeon." She shared that her boyfriend, CEO Choi Ji-hoon, provides her with the greatest sense of stability ahead of their scheduled wedding on December 26.

Singer Seo In-young confesses that she feels the greatest sense of stability in her life from her current boyfriend, CEO Choi Ji-hoon. Following a previous marriage and divorce, her decision to choose love again is rooted in more than just romantic feelings; it is driven by the presence of a partner who understands the anxiety that has plagued her for a long time. In particular, Seo In-young is expected to look back on difficult times, revealing that she "slept for almost 8 years" due to extreme anxiety.

In the 7th episode of the Tcast E Channel entertainment program "Seo In-young's Trend Curmudgeon," which airs at 9 p.m. on the 12th, entertainer Jung Hyung-don joins as a daily student. Alongside Seo In-young and Mimiminu, they will examine the reality of anxiety deeply embedded in modern life and various ways to relieve it. As they explore how psychological anxiety affects individual relationships and lifestyle habits, the three will also share their personal experiences and honest views on dating.

Jung Hyung-don, who shared a special connection with Seo In-young in the past, appears in the studio, bringing a sense of welcome. The two reminisce about their time performing on stage together, and Jung Hyung-don reveals unexpected behind-the-scenes stories regarding a duet performance they once held. It is reported that the atmosphere in the studio heated up instantly as these details, unknown even to Seo In-young, were disclosed.

As psychological topics are addressed in earnest, Jung Hyung-don demonstrates more in-depth knowledge than expected. When the conversation shifts to attachment types, such as anxious and avoidant types, he provides explanations even mentioning the psychological assessment tool MMPI. He jokingly asked himself, "Is it okay for me to talk so professionally?" leading Seo In-young to marvel, "Oppa, you are too professional," while his unexpected psychological knowledge drew laughter.

The conversation regarding dating and attachment types is particularly noteworthy. Seo In-young identifies her current boyfriend as the person who provides her with the greatest psychological stability. It is anticipated that she will candidly reveal the reasons they have been able to maintain a relationship for a long time and the emotional trust she feels toward him. Attention is focused on her confession, as her boyfriend serves as a psychological pillar beyond a mere romantic partner for Seo In-young, who has experienced unstable emotions and relationship difficulties.

Seo In-young is scheduled to hold a wedding ceremony with CEO Choi Ji-hoon on December 26. Having married a businessman nine years her senior in 2023 and experienced divorce approximately one year later, the fact that she has decided to marry again is drawing public interest. As she chooses a new relationship following her past marriage and divorce, her stories regarding dating views and stability are expected to provide a glimpse into her changed psychological state.

Seo In-young's firm stance on dating conflicts also draws attention. She expressed a strong dislike for avoidant types, stating, "I really hate avoidant types," regarding partners who avoid conversation during conflict. A tense debate breaks out between Jung Hyung-don and Seo In-young as the position of men who wish to avoid fighting clashes with the position of women who desire sincere apologies after a conflict. Jung Hyung-don shifts the mood with a self-deprecating remark drawn from his marriage experience, saying, "Living life, there are times when even the act of breathing feels apologetic." His confession, which seems to compress the process of repeated emotional clashes and reconciliations between couples, is expected to elicit both laughter and empathy.

Unique ways modern people use to relieve anxiety are also introduced. These include "Hwakance"—spending time alone in the bathroom to rest—robot dolls that bite fingers, and an unusual tear-wiping service in Japan. Upon hearing these unexpected methods of relieving anxiety, Seo In-young shows immediate interest, saying, "I should go there. I'm going." The phenomenon of spaces, objects, and services easily accessible in daily life being consumed as means to alleviate emotional tension adds further interest.

"Callphobia," the fear of making phone calls, and "nomophobia," the anxiety felt without a mobile phone, are also major topics. Regarding these modern anxiety symptoms arising as digital devices become essential to life, Seo In-young and Jung Hyung-don reveal different lifestyle habits. They show stark differences in personality as they bicker over trivial daily matters, ranging from how they manage mobile phone battery levels to the issue of lying in bed while wearing outdoor clothes.

Cases of celebrities who have overcome anxiety or endured it in their own ways, such as Kian84, Yayoi Kusama, and Lewis Capaldi, are also introduced. Using these stories as a catalyst, Seo In-young and Jung Hyung-don look back on the difficult periods they experienced in the past and reveal inner thoughts they had not easily shared. In particular, Seo In-young surprises the group by revealing, "I slept for almost 8 years." By confessing to having suffered from anxiety for a long period and experiencing significant difficulties in daily life, curiosity grows regarding the psychological pain she experienced at that time.

Seo In-young, who has been imprinted on the public with her brilliant stage presence and direct speech, now candidly reveals the anxiety and relationship wounds that resided within her. As she approaches marriage again following a divorce, attention is focused on what stability she has found in her current love and the true nature of the anxiety that had weighed on her for a long time, which will be revealed in this broadcast.
