[SpoTVNews Online Reporter Jung Yuna] Singer Tony An confessed that he felt afraid of marriage due to family issues.
In the SBS entertainment program ‘My Little Old Boy,’ aired on the 23rd, the daily life of singer Tony An was revealed.
Tony An, who appeared for the first time in a while, caught the eye with his drastically changed self, waking up in a neat room, ventilating it, and cleaning up.
Lee Sang-min and Kim Hee-chul, who visited Tony An’s house, were surprised and asked, “What happened?” Tony An replied, “I developed a dust allergy. It’s really hard for me when I come into contact with dust. That’s why I had to clean it up. But as I live like this, I realize it’s much better.”
Tony An, who mentioned cooking for himself, said, “I was quite sick last year. I had severe hyperlipidemia and high blood pressure. Because my blood pressure was high, I had a headache all day. So I ended up changing my eating habits.”
Tony An also expressed a desire to marry. He said, “Sometimes when I’m at home, deep loneliness suddenly hits me. I feel like these types of days will get more frequent.”
He also talked about his family background, saying, “I’ve wondered why I didn’t have thoughts of marriage, and I think it’s because our family wasn’t harmonious. When I was young, my parents divorced, and I lived with my father. I’ve had four mothers. Being in an environment where mothers keep changing made me fearful. What if I end up living like my dad? My dad used to drink a lot and get rough. It’s scary for a child in those situations. I’m worried I might have that side.”
Tony An also confessed to having suffered from severe depression. He explained, “It was tough when I started working alone. I was doing well with my entertainment and school uniform businesses, living the best life materially. But I was mentally ill. I achieved everything I wanted, but I was alone. That’s when I started drinking alone.”
He continued, “One day, I had a severe headache, and no matter how many headache pills I took, it wouldn’t go away. I took more than eight pills a day. When I went to the hospital, I had about 7-8 symptoms, including depression, manic depression, and social phobia.”
Tony An, who took medication daily, recalled, “I took medication every day. My apartment was on the 22nd floor, and I used to just look out the window. One day, I took pills and alcohol together, and when I woke up, my pillow was really wet. I checked, and it was soaked with blood. When I looked in the mirror, my head was shaved. My hair was scattered in the living room. I had accidentally cut my ear while cutting my hair with scissors.”
He concluded, “I was so flustered, but then the management office called. They asked if I was okay, saying I had broken the elevator mirror with my head. That day I realized, ‘I could die like this,’ so from that day forward, I promised myself never to mix alcohol and medication again. I decided I need to restrain myself.”
