[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Famous YouTuber 'YangPang' revealed that she is suffering from panic disorder and depression.

On the 24th, YangPang uploaded a video titled "I Have Something to Tell You" on her YouTube channel.

In the released video, she confessed, "The day before yesterday, I was taken to the emergency room. My panic disorder worsened," and added, "After finishing my schedule, I came home, ate, and was so tired that I slept for two hours. When I woke up, my vision was spinning so much that I couldn't keep my balance. Eventually, I took a taxi with my parents to Gangnam Severance Hospital."

She continued, "My face looks very tired now, and mentally, I am also struggling a lot," explaining, "Due to psychological anxiety, sudden depression and severe anxiety symptoms have continued, which manifested as complex panic disorder symptoms."

She said, "When I was alone, my thoughts kept spiraling, continuously tearing myself down. Over the past five years of broadcasting, I have enjoyed it and pursued it passionately because it was something I liked," and added, "Now, I realize that it is more important to take time to live for myself and reflect on myself."

YangPang said, "I am in a mentally quite abnormal state, so I came to a temple to live differently, away from the secular world," and shared footage of her family, saying, "I don't know how long it will be, but I will spend good times with these people at the temple."

Finally, she added, "I will come back with a better appearance. These days, due to COVID-19, there are no people around. It feels like only my family is here. I hope you also feel the healing with your families."

YangPang is a famous YouTuber with 2.52 million subscribers and also works as an Afreeca TV BJ.

In April, she was appointed as a public relations ambassador for Busan Metropolitan City.
