Broadcaster Lee Kyungkyu mentioned his experience with panic disorder while talking with his longtime friend Park Jongho, a former psychiatrist.

In the video, Lee Kyungkyu introduced his high school classmate, who is a psychiatrist. Lee explained, "He used to be a psychiatrist, but now he has left the medical field and is active as an authority in the classical music world."

His friend commented, "You can’t really understand classical music just by listening to it. It’s better to have a guide." Lee agreed, saying, "You hear as much as you know. It’s the same with classical music. If you study and listen, it’s good, but if you just listen without any knowledge, you might think, 'What is this?'" His friend added, "That’s why we do what we do."

Lee Kyungkyu then shifted the conversation, saying, "But what we’re curious about is, you were originally a doctor, right?" His friend replied, "I was a psychiatrist," and Lee confessed, "I should have come straight to you when I developed panic disorder."

His friend responded, "If you had, you would have recovered right away. Are you still taking medication?" Lee admitted, "I’m still taking medicine." His friend then said, "If you had come to me, you wouldn’t have gotten into that car accident," which left Lee Kyungkyu flustered.

Lee then asked, "How long has it been since you quit being a doctor?" His friend replied, "It’s been over 10 years. I switched careers because I love classical music so much." He shared that after studying opera and classical music in Europe, he is now pursuing a new path.

Previously, on June 8, Lee Kyungkyu was caught driving in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, while under the influence of prescribed medication and was sent to the prosecution without detention. He was reported for suspected theft while driving a car of the same model as his own, and although he tested negative for alcohol, he tested positive for drugs.

At the time, his lawyer stated, "Lee Kyungkyu has suffered from panic disorder for 10 years, and his symptoms were so severe that he was on his way to the hospital. It was an inexcusable act of carelessness, and he takes full responsibility."
