South Korean actress Yoon Eun Hye shared her reasons why she does not drink or date.
Notable for her roles in the top-rating dramas "Princess Hours" and "Coffee Prince," the 35-year-old star made an appearance on the March 25th episode of "Radio Star" where she revealed several changes in her personal life.
One of the changes she made was halting herself from drinking. She revealed that it has been eight long years since she stopped the activity.
"During that time, I did not drink to enjoy, rather, I had the worst insomnia. After all those bad events occurred way back when I was 29, sleeping is impossible without drinking. I naturally close my eyes to sleep after the alcohol takes effects into my body; therefore it was never getting drunk, but being comfortable of it," the actress shared.
She added that she mixed all those drinks - soju, wine and beer - but she was never drunk. It only takes effect on her when she drinks one type of alcohol at a time.
"After that, I even considered throwing away my drinking habits for a week, then my insomnia was cured. I have no idea if alcohol was the reason, but, I was mentally feeling the comforted at that moment. Since I did that change in my lifestyle, I dozed off easily. So, since I liked it, then my journey to letting go of drinking started," she added.
Yoon Eun Hye also revealed that for eight years, she placed barriers up to stop dating someone. She shared that her agency's CEO is like a mother to her, and she turned into a busy buddy sharing everything to her. So, she does not feel the void in her life.
But the hosts of the said show could not believe that a gorgeous woman like Yoon Eun Hye has not been dating for a very long time. She replied, "No one cared to ask me out for a date or even asked for my number. I even get into the realization that when I filmed a drama scene where there is physical affection, it would probably be the first time for 8 years. And, I'd feel the tension."
The actress also opened up about her ways of improving her mental health. She said listening to music and crying works for her. She mentioned listening to great songs makes her burst into tears. She revealed she is usually vulnerable when someone becomes rude to her and she tends to sob but afterwards, she reflects on it.
"I cry out for 3 to 4 hours usually if I am immensely disappointed, but most of the time, I cry about 30 to 40 minutes," Yoon Eun Hye shared.
"I cry every single day. I don't sob because I am lonely," she added.
Yoon Eun Hye said crying everyday makes her feel free and she felt healthier from letting go of being judged.
