After being entangled in a very serious gambling controversy everything turned bleak for her to a limit where she couldn’t find her will to live anymore.
Being dragged down to the furthest limit, Shoo gave up on her emotions and life. With no motivation for anything, she withdrew herself from the world to the darkest corner of her brain. Indeed, it is never an easy choice to make. It is never an easy thing to do. It takes a lot of courage for someone to take their own life and that explains their limit to things.
Being seen on television after so long, all her fans out there are flooding the internet with the news.
SES’s Shoo: Her Time On ‘Stay Documentary – My Way’
The painful revelation about SES’s Shoo going through a complete bleak mental trauma has set the entire internet in waves once again. Her hiatus after the gambling controversy led her to the deepest trenches of darkness and hopelessness. The artist has opened up about the same on TV Chosun’s Star Documentary – My Way.
Her appearance on the show was a very unexpected and surprising one for all her fans out there as the artist has been inactive since the gambling controversy which took place in the year 2018. In an episode of the ‘Star Documentary – My Way’ she opened up about one of the darkest moments of her life which was caused due to her gambling addiction.
It is no hidden fact that the controversy led her life and career into a series of chaos. The time period which came after the controversy was painfully numb and hopeless for her. She used to have severe suicidal thoughts because of which she always walked around carelessly hoping a car would hit her.
She said that she didn’t want the media reporting that she has committed suicide and thought it would be better to have them print that she had a deathly accident.
Explaining further Shoo said that she never wanted to leave behind a burden of guilt on the shoulders of people by committing suicide.
Therefore, getting involved in a car accident looked easier to her. Whenever she walked outside, she did that with her eyes pinned to the ground. Though, destiny had something else in the box for her. All the cars slowed down or stopped and she took that as a sign that she should live.
Indeed, taking one’s own life is never a light decision for anyone and talking about the same is devastating. By the end of it, Shoo was in tears. Though, she continued further saying that at that time she was not able to spot any reasons to live. She knew that it was her to blame and that turned into self-hatred. She always questioned her existence.
