In a candid moment on the program, Seol In Ah spoke about her severe insomnia, admitting that she had relied on sleeping pills for the past five years. Her addiction to pills apparently angered the actress.
I actually can’t sleep at all. I have been taking sleeping pills for about five years and I started to get angry after taking them. I wondered, ‘Why do I have to take sleeping pills just to fall asleep?’

That’s why he decided to try to stop taking sleeping pills. Not only did her addiction trouble her, but the pills themselves made it difficult for In Ah to concentrate during filming days.
However, after trying to stop taking sleeping pills, Seol In Ah experienced several sleepless nights, which led to the collapse of her immune system. The actress later revealed that, as a result, at one point she had to take 24 pills a day to manage her symptoms, particularly the skin condition.
When I take sleeping pills, I can’t concentrate on shooting. I tried to quit, but after staying awake for 3 or 4 days, my immune system collapsed and I ended up taking 24 pills a day while receiving treatment at a teaching hospital, just for my skin.

It was then that In Ah says she found the drive and determination to improve her health and take on the challenge of triathlon.
Despite her determination to improve her health, the actress may have pushed herself too hard during triathlon training, which ultimately led to her unexpected hospitalization. Fans have since expressed their heartfelt wishes for her speedy recovery, urging her not to push herself too hard.
