Famous Korean Host And Entertainer Reveals He’s Been Seeking Mental Health Care

Jo Se Ho has opened up about seeing a doctor on a recent show!

On the most recent episode of the tvN variety show You Quiz on the Block, Jo Se Ho spoke with psychiatrist Lee Kyung Joon and said, “I am going to a psychiatric clinic. I’m also taking medication.”

He continued, “At first, I was afraid to go to a psychiatric clinic. While working, various things happen, but I thought, ‘Maybe if I go to the hospital, I’ll feel better. Maybe I can spend my time healthily.’”

Lee Kyung Joon, who runs a psychiatric clinic in Pangyo, explained, “I see about 50–60 patients a day. The main concern for office workers is anxiety. Objectively, there are situations where there’s no need to feel anxious, but personal factors or minor issues accumulate, raising their anxiety to pathological levels. This can also trigger physical reactions. In those moments, people don’t even understand why they feel anxious, making judgment difficult.”

He added, “Middle managers are the most frequent visitors to clinics. Compared to newcomers, it’s harder for them to change their environment quickly, and they face stress from needing to produce results while managing their team. Many patients resemble characters like Manager Kim from dramas.”

Jo Se Ho gained attention and praise among fans for openly speaking about seeking mental help for his troubles.
