Actress Lee Soo Kyung has opened up about the shocking reason behind her long hiatus, revealing she once thought about quitting acting completely.

On the March 18 episode of SBS Plus and E Channel’s Solo Because, Lee Soo Kyung’s daily life was shown, where she candidly talked about her four-year struggle with an unexplained skin condition that affected her career and mental health.

During the show, Lee Soo Kyung was seen taking edible aroma oil in an empty capsule and massaging it into her hands.

She explained, “I’ve been learning this for over a year. My skin is extremely sensitive. My face broke out so badly that I couldn’t work for a while.”

Recalling the terrifying experience, she said, “I was shocked when I saw my face in the mirror. Every day, it got worse, and I didn’t know what to do. It started on my body, but then my face became so severe that even makeup couldn’t cover it. I had to stop working completely.”

Lee Soo Kyung revealed that her skin condition had no cure, and the uncertainty made things even harder. “My entire face broke out like a teenager with severe acne, and there was no solution. It was really tough. Depression and social anxiety hit me at the same time.”

She added, “People I had seen just a week before would ask, ‘What happened to you all of a sudden?’ When that happens, it’s impossible not to feel depressed.”

On top of her health struggles, problems with her agency also took a toll on her. “I took a break for about four years. Acting is the only thing I’ve done my whole life, but if my condition never improved, I might have had to change careers. I had a lot to think about during that time,” she confessed.

During her break, she learned new skills and obtained certifications in aromatherapy, dog training, and leathercraft to explore other career options.

After two years, Lee Soo Kyung’s skin finally healed—so much so that even doctors were surprised. Looking back, she said, “At the time, it felt like the worst thing ever, but now I think I needed that period in my life.”

Now that she’s recovered, fans are excited to see what’s next for Lee Soo Kyung as she returns to the spotlight!
