Actress Lee Soo-kyung shows off her drinking side as a ‘drinker’.

In episode 11 of the SBS Plus·E Channel entertainment show ‘Because I‘m Solo’, which will air on the afternoon of the 18th, Lee Soo-kyung, who joined as a ‘solo unnie’, will greet the 2 MCs Shin Dong-yup, Hwang Jung-eum, and ‘solo unnie’ Jang Seo-hee for the first time, and will also reveal her real daily life at home, causing a fresh shock.

On this day, Lee Soo-kyung is lying in bed until late in the morning and suddenly goes straight to the bathroom to vomit. Everyone is worried, asking, “Where does it hurt?”, but Lee Soo-kyung honestly confesses, “I don’t feel well because I drank too much the night before”, and it‘s because of the hangover. Everyone is surprised by the actress’s unexpected daily life, where she shows ‘morning vomiting‘ in her first appearance.

Lee Soo-kyung then lies down again and drinks, saying “chocolate milk is good for hangovers” even though there are already three milk cartons piled up next to her bed. Shin Dong-yup, who sees this, is surprised and says, “Drinking while lying down? ‘Because I‘m single’ This is my first time lying down. It’s the ‘female Lee Kyung-kyu’!”. Lee Soo-kyung says, “That‘s why my nickname is ‘Lee Sul-kyung’. Isn’t she cute?”, showing off her ‘four-dimensional charm’, making everyone burst out laughing.



After a hard time, Lee Soo-kyung sobers up with Pyongyang naengmyeon. In particular, he shows off his extreme cheekiness by drinking a can of broth in one gulp. Upon seeing this, Shin Dong-yup exclaims, “He‘s drinking cold noodle broth like beer.” After a while, Lee Soo-kyung, who has sobered up, opens the wine cellar door next to the refrigerator and looks happily at the wines that are tightly packed. Lee Soo-kyung, who has over 120 bottles of wine, introduces herself by saying, “The wines on the top shelf of the wine cellar are expensive products like the ’5 major Chateaux,‘” and reveals that she has unintentionally succeeded in ’drinking tech,‘ adding, “The price of the wine has gone up several times since I bought it.” He even reveals that he owns a whiskey worth tens of millions of won, along with the explanation that “the most expensive one costs at least tens of millions of won a bottle,” which sets the studio on fire.

Amidst the interest in ‘Another Class’, ‘Salty Sister’ Lee Soo-kyung’s love of alcohol that has repeatedly impressed ‘Salty Brother’ Shin Dong-yup, Lee Soo-kyung makes a sudden confession, “I thought about retirement in the past because of a skin condition”, while doing self-aromatherapy to relieve her hangover. Lee Soo-kyung said, “I suffered from a skin disease of unknown cause and couldn‘t stand in front of people,” and revealed, “I suffered from depression and social phobia, and I even thought, ’What should I eat and live on after I retire (as an actress)?‘”

Lee Soo-kyung’s story of overcoming stress and her surprising daily life at ‘Soolro House’ can be seen on the 11th episode of ‘Because I’m Solo‘, which airs on SBS Plus and E Channel at 8:40 p.m. today (the 18th).
