Seol In-ah said, “It made me so upset that I was being ‘put’ to sleep by these sleeping pills. And I thought maybe I was not exhausted enough, so I pushed myself to stay busy. I put my body through a lot on purpose. That somehow made people believe I’m diligent and I like pursuing an active lifestyle. But no, I would say it was all for sleep. I moved more so I could sleep more. I found it ironic that I was given a ‘healthy, active girl’ reputation, when I don’t personally think I was ever that healthy to begin with. My goal [with this program] is to actually become healthier."

In addition, she said the sleeping pills completly messed up with her immune system. “I had to see doctors at big hospitals…Eventually, I was told to take 24 pills a day to alleviate the symptoms I had all over my skin,” she added.
