“I Haven’t Rested In Nearly Two Years,” Hyeri Cries Discussing Being Tired After Receiving Counseling

Actress Lee Hyeri drew attention after receiving psychological counseling with psychiatrist Lee Gwangmin, who rose to public recognition through the program “Divorce Consideration Camp.”

Recently, Hyeri uploaded a video to her channel with the psychiatrist. In the video, she shared the results of psychological tests and discussed her stress responses, current energy levels, and her personal thoughts on mental health counseling, based on evaluations such as the TCI test.

During the session, Lee Gwangmin explained that Hyeri’s primary stress responses tend to manifest as anger and isolation. He noted that her scores for avoidance, dependence, and suppression were low, interpreting this to mean that she is not the type to avoid or bottle things up, but rather someone who needs to release stress in some way.

Hyeri responded, “I think I get angry a lot. I tend to express it clearly without confusing the person or the situation.” She also mentioned that her emotions can sometimes show during filming, but emphasized that when it comes to work, she tries not to bring her personal emotions or stress into the workplace. Lee connected this to her tendency to separate emotions from acting and professional situations.

Another key point of the counseling focused on her current condition. Lee described Hyeri as being in a state of energy depletion and constant tension, likening it to a battery that is only about half charged. He expressed particular concern that her level of rest was nearly zero, explaining that what keeps her going is a strong sense of achievement and support from people around her.

Hyeri said, “I’ve barely rested over the past one to two years. Because I have no energy, I can’t organize things, and seeing that just stresses me out even more.” She also said, “What keeps me going is the fans liking what I do,” sharing that at fan meetings, “Even when my body is tired, my mind feels okay, so I can keep going.”

After the session, Hyeri reflected that she used to wonder why people cried during psychological counseling programs, but now understands why, “I didn’t understand why people cry, but now I do. It wasn’t as heavy as I thought, and it was a healthy conversation. I need to comfort myself and give myself some space.”
