On the recent airing of MBC's 'Documentary Special - 5-Member g.o.d's Return,' g.o.d member Son Ho Young shared with viewers one of the toughest moments in his life: when he attempted to commit suicide.

Back when g.o.d went on hiatus, Son Ho Young, who was still passionate for music and being on stage, started his own voyage as a solo artist. However, he revealed that he had realized there was not one thing that he excelled at and most people only paid attention to him for his fit body.

Son Ho Young recounted his past feelings and said, "When I was performing as a solo artist, all that people said was, 'Son Ho Young show us your stomach.' Even when I was doing an interview for a newspaper, they were asking me to show my stomach. I wasn't sure what to think of this and that's when I started to wander."

He continued, "There was no one around me. There was no one to hold me. So I thought, 'What's this?' The shock was even bigger. I was someone who was up here (in terms of popularity) and yet I wondered why no one was holding their hands out for me."

And as Son Ho Young continued to have hopeless thoughts, it was not long after that he decided to end his life. Back in May, 2013, it was reported that g.o.d's Son Ho Young had attempted to commit suicide shortly after his girlfriend had committed suicide.

In the documentary, Kim Tae Woo added, "When we went (to the hospital), Son Ho Young had a respirator while he was laying down. I went with Yoon Kye Sang and Danny Ahn. Park Joon Hyung was in the States. Song Ho Young held our hands and said, 'Let's get together as g.o.d.'"

Son Ho Young then revealed that when he had opened his eyes again, he was thankful that he was still alive and thought about g.o.d, the one thing that he missed the most. He then added that his members were the only ones who provided him strength when he had nothing.

Yoon Kye Sang told, "After what happened and what Son Ho Young said while holding our hands, everything else became irrelevant. Nothing else mattered. It's the best when your family is next to you when you are in need and it's also the best when you live altogether. I realized that we were family."
