'My Korean Jagiya' star Alexander Lee opens up about not feeling ok
"My Korean Jagiya" star Alexander Lee just got real on Instagram, as he posted a photo of himself crying.
It was a two-photo post that opened with a full black image. Upon swiping, his followers will see a photo of himself crying. He accompanied his post with a caption written in full Korean, and on Instagram Stories, Alexander explained what it was all about in English.
"Sorry my new post is all in Korean... Basically I just wanna share about how tough and depressing the past months were for me. Like most people, I had a breakdown and even cried," he said.
Alexander wanted to let people know that they are not alone. "If you are having a hard time too, just let it out. Because it's OK to be NOT OK. If you want to cry, just cry."
"Release it. HOWEVER, make sure that you STAND UP AGAIN, MOVE ON, and be STRONGER. OK?" he added.
