Brown Eyed Girls' Ga In breaks down as she shares how her mom saved her life during her darkest days
Brown Eyed Girls' Ga In opened up about her long break from the spotlight—and the emotional reason behind her return.
On April 11, Ga In appeared in a new episode of "Lim Seul Ong’s Girls Ong Top" on the YouTube channel ‘Ong Style.’ The video, titled “Fourth guest Son Ga In. A story full of laughter and tears – everything revealed on Ong Style,” showed a very honest and emotional side of the singer.
Lim Seul Ong gently asked how she had been, saying, “You were out of touch for years.”
Ga In replied, “I went through some incidents… and I was really struggling. I had depression, insomnia, and panic disorder. These are pretty common in our industry. Because of that, I just stayed home all the time.”
She then shared how her mother stepped in at her lowest point.
“I was falling into a slump, but my mom, who runs a store, pulled me out of the house to help,” she said. “There were 6 to 7 staff members working there, and I told her I didn’t want to go out. There were bad news reports about me too, so I said I wouldn’t leave the house for a month. But the next day, she took me out anyway.”'
Ga In admitted the first week was very hard. “I couldn’t even make eye contact with the staff because I thought they knew everything. But after working every day and coming home tired, I would just fall asleep. I didn’t even check my phone.”
She shared, “Later on, my mom stopped coming in for a few days and left the store to me. I had more responsibilities. Work ended around 11 or 12 at night, and by the time I got home, I didn’t even have time to feel lonely.”
Tearing up, Ga In thanked her mother, saying, “My mom’s way of helping—it worked. If it weren’t for that, I don’t know where I’d be. Just thinking about it makes me cry. I think she was having a hard time too… but what she did saved me.”
She added, “Those three years felt so long and scary. I also feel bad because when I was younger and doing well, I didn’t really go to my mom. But when I was struggling, I went to her. That makes me feel guilty. Now, I want to do well. I want to be a good daughter. I’m at a time in my life where I think a lot about how I should live.”
Back in 2021, Ga In was fined for using propofol in 2019. At the time, her agency explained, “While promoting, Ga In had many injuries that caused severe pain, depression, and sleep problems. During that time, she made a wrong decision.”
After stepping back for self-reflection, Ga In slowly began returning to the public eye. She made her first comeback in June last year by joining fellow Brown Eyed Girls member Miryo on KFN Radio’s “Miryo’s Freestyle.”
Fans are now cheering for her recovery and hopeful return.
