Ahn Jae-wook, who visited the psychological counseling center for the first time in his life, confessed that he felt severe depression when he was a radio DJ with Cha Tae-hyun in the past. He was "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.

Ahn Jae-wook then said of his childhood, `I think I went with pride. I don't want to be left behind. I have often thought that multiple is the same. I didn't want to show my dark side. He must have wanted to look like he was okay even in his young mind. "Even his friends wouldn't have noticed at all when he was young. In my memory, Jaewook is always bright and fits well. The moment seems strong and self-respectful, but when I turn around I actually feel more alone. What if he had shown a hard expression?"

As a result of analyzing the questionnaire prepared before the consultation, Ahn Jae-wook had a strong perfectionist tendency and was wary of failure and incompetence. 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?"

In response, Ahn Jae-wook collapsed in the United States 10 years ago and underwent brain surgery for subarachnoid hemorrhage. According to the doctor, the probability of recovering normally without suffering from the aftereffects of physical disability was within 7%. The cerebrovascular burst "I was very surprised that I had to open my head more than half. I've already put my mind down and asked if the surgery went wrong, could I develop amnesia or something. I have a lot of memories I want to forget, but I asked him to erase them all this time. The teacher laughed and put on a mask and said, `That person seems to be able to save this person,' referring to the time he had brain surgery in the United States.

After the surgery, Ahn Jae-wook confessed, "'When I was lying in a U.S. hospital room for a month, looking at the outside world through a small window, I thought 'I can't even go my way when I can go', and the specialist was surprised and worried that "It is similar to a dangerous situation".



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

His wife Choi Hyun-joo was the driving force behind Ahn Jae-wook, who was desperate, to live again. He thanked "In my wife's family, I would have wanted a healthy husband, but I am grateful beyond love to see you allow me even though you know my situation."

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.

At the same time, the specialist was worried about Ahn Jae-wook, who was pushing himself 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.
