Actor Ahn Jae-wook confessed the trauma of brain surgery that opened half of his brain.

In Channel A 'Daddy's Flower Middle-aged', which aired on the 18th, Ahn Jae-wook received counseling from the psychiatry department.

Ahn Jae-wook is trying to get mental counseling by himself. Every day is not bright enough," he lamented. He's younger than a year, so don't you think he's not embarrassed. Rather, they ask for an introduction." Kim Gu-ra said "When I wake up in the morning, don't you think there's nothing like 'Oh, I feel so good?'" I understand why."



Ahn Jae-wook, who visited the psychological counseling center for the first time in his life, said "About 10 years and 15 years? It was very depressing. When I was a radio DJ with Cha Tae-hyun, I felt like I was lying because I had to host a bright show for two hours a day. As soon as the fire was extinguished, tears seemed to pour out. TAEHYUN and RIO team comforted me a lot" he recalled.

Then "Even in the middle of a light conversation, tears are suddenly pouring down?" I went to Europe for a month and spent time alone" he confessed. Ahn Jae-wook said "I had to trust the teacher, but I was afraid that my private life would be exposed to the outside world."



Ahn Jae-wook had a strong sense of responsibility for his family. He "I think my psychology is many times more than that of ordinary people. I want to give an environment where emotions are stable." I can feel my father's sense of calling that I must do it by trying my best with my professional duties in the field of parenting without perfection. Ahn Jae-wook, who dreams of becoming a perfect father, had anxiety.

Ahn Jae-wook said, "The family story still looked uncomfortable. Ahn Jae-wook doesn't talk about his feelings even to his best friend. Kim Gu-ra says "I talk a lot about myself. One day, there was a sudden burnout. It was so hard because I was busy. At that time, I called everyone around and asked for advice. It was a comfort to me. Then the doctor said 'Good way' I said, "It's better to be honest and confide in each other."



When asked about his childhood, Ahn Jae-wook said, `My mother may be disappointed, but life related to her parents was unusual when she was a child. I grew up with pain in the stomach. Now that I'm a child in this house...You have to accept it," he hesitated.

Ahn Jae-wook also regretted, saying, `I should have expressed my hard feelings when I was having a hard time.' Then "I didn't want to pass on what I felt bad about my dad's life to my children. I wanted to make him live a different life than I did."

In a questionnaire that checks personality and disposition, a specialist said "Ahn Jae-wook has a strict perfectionist disposition. There was also a strong sense of anxiety about risks and diseases. The specialist asked "Is there a turning point in life that makes you look at life anew?"

Regarding the 'most difficult moment in my life', Ahn Jae-wook said, `In my case, I was in an article, but I once had brain surgery for subarachnoid hemorrhage in the United States 10 years ago. According to the doctor, the probability of normal recovery without suffering from the aftereffects of physical disability was within 7%. The blood vessels in the brain have burst."

Ahn Jae-wook said "The teacher just didn't know my accident. I put everything down. I didn't predict life after surgery. I had to open more than half my head. I asked if I could develop amnesia if the surgery went wrong. 'There are a lot of pasts I want to forget, but please erase them all this time. The teacher laughed and said, `I'll save that person, and then he went in.'

Ahn Jae-wook said "After recovering and lying in the hospital for a month, looking at the outside world through a small window, I thought 'You can't even go as you want when you can go'", and the specialist was surprised and worried "similar to a dangerous situation".

Then "I can't give up life on my own, but if my life leaves in an unexpected situation, I'll just accept it. Even though he was lucky to survive, he was in a straight line when his emotional state collapsed at that time. And yet, he endured it."

Ahn Jae-wook, who overcame the painful rehabilitation process, said "I couldn't plan to meet someone, love them, and start a family. Three years later, I met my current wife while doing a musical," he said with a smile.

Ahn Jae-wook and his wife met in their return work after brain surgery. Ahn Jae-wook said, `There was an accident in the United States two weeks before the local performance. I couldn't perform in the provinces, so I became known to the media. If it happened to me alone, I wouldn't have told you about the surgery"I was upset.

Ahn Jae-wook, who had the tattoo "Beyond death, be united with love..." got the tattoo done before marriage. I think we're meant to meet," he said, expressing his affection for his wife. Wife who gave hope to Ahn Jae-wook, who was desperate.

Ahn Jae-wook thanked "In my wife's family, I would have wanted a healthy husband, but I am grateful beyond love to see that you allowed me even though you know my situation." The executive director said "There are two things to look at from the perspective of psychiatry. One was that despite the fact that he survived like that, he was not happy with his life again, and that his life might end, so he said, `Can you erase my hard memories?' But Sun-gil, who baked them in despair, was his wife."

Therefore, Ahn Jae-wook takes care of himself for his health. The specialist said "I think my pre-marriage experience was a great trauma to my life without knowing it. The reaction of trauma is twofold. Ahn Jae-wook became a `post-traumatic growth' going from a trauma situation to a healthy situation", and analyzed Ahn Jae-wook's psychological state.

The specialist was worried about Ahn Jae-wook, who was pushing him too much, and watched a camping show. They prepared everything from the schedule to the food perfectly. I hope you try the opposite. This time, my wife, daughter, and son should travel completely for my father, Ahn Jae-wook. Ahn Jae-wook's role there is 'Doing nothing'. Don't take pictures, don't cook.," he said, giving the solution.

After the consultation, Ahn Jae-wook was lost in thought. The wife was worried about Ahn Jae-wook's counseling and asked "There's no secret between the couple." Ahn Jae-wook came out alone after picking up his daughter's son as usual. Ahn Jae-wook had a time to recharge by himself in a car without his family. At the same time, I watched the children's video quietly with a smile.
