Ear cut off, blood soaking through pillow… Tony An confesses to severe depression (Miuseu Sae)

Singer Tony An confessed that in the past, he shaved his head and even self-harmed due to depression.

On the SBS show ‘My Little Old Boy’ that aired on the 23rd, Tony An said, “After being single after promoting with the groups HOT and JTL, I had a really hard time. At the time, I was running an entertainment company and my school uniform company was doing well. Materially, I had the best life, but I was mentally ill. I thought I had achieved everything, but when it came down to it, I had no one. I started drinking out of loneliness.”

He said, “I suddenly got a really bad headache. I took 8 headache pills a day, but the headache didn‘t go away, so I went to the hospital and it turned out I had 7-8 symptoms including depression and bipolar disorder.”One day, I was taking medicine and drinking together, and when I woke up, my pillow was wet. There was blood on it. He recalled, “I looked in the mirror and my head was shaved.” He cut his hair while drunk on drugs and alcohol, and even cut off his ear.

That wasn’t all. On his way home, he smashed his head into the elevator wall and broke all the mirrors. Tony Ahn said, “That’s why I was bleeding from my head.” “I realized that I could die if I kept doing this. From that day on, I never drank alcohol and took drugs together. I thought I had to control myself.”
