By Dong Sun-hwa

Singer-turned-actress Sulli revealed Monday that she suffers from panic disorder and social phobia. She said she had suffered from panic disorder since she was young.

“Even close people left me ― I was hurt by them and felt there was nobody who understands me, which made me fall apart,” she says in a teaser video for her upcoming reality show “Jinri Store.” She uploaded the video on Instagram.

It is uncommon for a celebrity to reveal mental problems, with most stars reluctant to speak about their mental issues.

“Jinri Store” is a reality show, in which Sulli will be CEO of a pop-up store.

Sulli, 24, made her debut as a child actress in 2005 and as a member of K-pop idol group f(x) in 2009 with the album "LA chA TA." In 2015, she left the group to forge an acting career.
