Singer Sung Si Kyung has shared his painful experience with bullying during his school years. On October 7, he released a video on his YouTube channel titled "Sung Si Kyung's Meeting | I Fell for Park Seo Joon When I First Met Him."
In the video, Park Seo Joon talked about his journey into acting, saying, "I started acting in my first year of high school, but my father really opposed it." He explained that he was very shy and had social anxiety. "When I was young, I couldn’t even order food at a restaurant. I was too embarrassed," he admitted.
Reflecting on his middle school years, he said, "I really hated my personality in my third year of middle school. I couldn’t speak up anywhere and felt really worthless. I was bullied a bit in elementary school, so I was one of the quieter kids in middle school."
Sung Si Kyung also revealed his own struggles with bullying. "These days, there's a lot of talk about bullying, but this is the first time I’m opening up about it. From first grade to fourth grade, it felt like hell. Kids would say, 'Stay after class.' I’m not the type to hit anyone, and I don’t like fighting. Looking back, I’m just glad I didn’t hit anyone," he shared. He added, "I remember exactly how terrible that time was. Kids can be innocent, but they can also be really cruel."
Park Seo Joon responded thoughtfully, saying, "In the end, it seems like a matter of self-esteem and confidence. Back then, I thought, 'I’m nothing special,' and my confidence was really low. But I think I gained confidence after I started acting."
Both stars opened up about their tough experiences, reminding us that bullying can have a lasting impact. Their honesty shows how important it is to support each other and build confidence, especially for those who have faced similar struggles.
