Lee Hyun-yi confesses to a rare incurable disease ♥ I fought with Hong Sung-ki more, but now I understand (My Little Old Boy)



'My Little Old Boy' Lee Hyun confessed that he suffers from narcolepsy.

Model Lee Hyun-yi appeared as a special MC in the SBS entertainment program 『My Ugly Baby』 that aired on the 22nd.

Lee Hyun-yi was diagnosed with narcolepsy, a rare incurable disease. Sleep paralysis is a sleep disorder symptom that makes it difficult to endure severe sleepiness even after getting enough sleep, and is known as a central nervous system problem.




Lee Hyun-yi, who falls asleep on average for 3.9 minutes, said "If you lie down, your brain waves will fall asleep within 4 minutes."

Because of this, there is an inconvenience in daily life, and "I fall asleep while my husband is just talking while arguing with the couple. My husband was so angry that I asked him to get up, if it was real. When I was newly married, I fought more because of that, but I understood because I was diagnosed with narcolepsy."

Lee came from an elite family. Her mother was a teacher and she graduated from Ewha Womans University with a major in economics. Even his younger brother graduated from Yonsei University's political and diplomatic department and is currently serving as a prosecutor.




Regarding her mother's educational secret, Lee Hyun-yi "My mother has been teaching for a long time, so she couldn't pay much attention to us because she was working double-income. I let it go naturally. He never told me to do my homework and never told me to study for the exam."

Lee Hyun-yi `sometimes stimulated the desire to win. 'Do you know what you're going to do? How can you not even know that?' He chose to scratch his pride while doing it. I guess I had a desire to win since I was young. My mom said that, so I felt so upset that I studied more" he said.
