TV personality and singer Noh Sa Yeon opened up about the time she suffered from depression due to side effects from dieting.

On the September 21st broadcast of SBS' 'GO Show', she confessed, "I went on a diet twice in my life - before I got married and when I was in college."

"There was this guy I really liked when I was in college. I wanted to look pretty in front of him, so I took purple-colored [diet] pills. The dosage was two pills before a meal, but I took 12 a day."

She continued, "Because of the effects of that diet, I was admitted to the hospital for severe depression. I said I wanted to die, and I hid in the dark because I didn't like the light."

"The second time I went on a diet was when I met my current husband, Lee Moo Song. Again, I wanted to look pretty in front of him, so I took 2 million Won (~$1787 USD) worth of pills. The results were great, and I lost a lot of weight, but I lost a lot of hair as well." She then shocked everybody in the studio by revealing that the pills had actually contained lead.
