On the latest episode of SBS’s ‘Strong Heart‘, Wonder Girls‘ Sunye shared a shocking story of her past in which she attempted suicide. It all started when she first appeared on the television and became famous.

Sunye began, “A lot of people started recognizing me after my public TV auditions, however, I wasn’t unable to properly adapt to a new environment. My dad was very ill at the time. I was very concerned about the future during the most vulnerable years of my adolescence.”

Training under JYP Entertainment, Sunye became unsure about her future due to her family’s situation. So, she took a turn, going for an audition for a music festival that was being held at her school in order to test out her singing abilities. However, things did not go as planned. Sunye chose a difficult song, Whitney Houston‘s “Greatest Love of All” then soon after she became ill.

Sunye was having a hard time keeping herself together at that time. She confessed, “I completely ruined my audition and I returned home to weep, questioning my identity. I began toying with the idea of suicide.”

So, the idol swallowed a handful of random medicine pills and headed to the practice room where she finally came to her senses. Soon after that, Sunye herself went to see a doctor and explained what she did. Surprisingly, nothing went wrong and she is perfectly fine.

Sunye concluded, “Everyone has their moments, especially during puberty where adolescents get lost and confused trying to find themselves, but above all, its most important to learn to love yourself.”

Suicide is never a solution.
