On the May 30 edition of SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams,' a devoted EXO-L shared how she was able to get through her depression because of EXO.
The EXO fan revealed that her mother would often scold her for being too focused on celebrities. The program then showed a clip of the mother and daughter bitterly screaming at one another because of the daughter's obsession for EXO. The daughter finally revealed that the reason why she became obsessed with EXO, and especially Chanyeol, was because they were the ones to help her get through depression.
The daughter explained on the show, "When I was in sixth grade, I was chosen as the school president. And at the time, mischievous boys would curse at me and say, 'She definitely bought her votes,' 'She's worse than a politician.' I was depressed since then. My older sister would get sick often when she was in middle school so I was alone at home a lot of the times."
"My mom couldn't be reached, my dad would tell me that he's busy, and my older sister was sick, so I had no one to talk to. I was really depressed. One day, while I was drawing by myself, I overheard some kids talking about EXO. I thought that if I knew more about EXO, I would be able to make friends and no longer be alone so I listened to a lot of EXO songs. They became someone who I can depend on. (Because of EXO) 95% of all my depressing thoughts are gone. It's not that I'm pretending to be bright, but I think EXO changed my personality."
The daughter also revealed that she would cause self-inflicted injuries due to her depression. However, after discovering EXO, the daughter revealed that she is no longer depressed and even has a dream of becoming a graphic designer.
Seeing that the daughter was the happiest when she was looking up news about EXO's Chanyeol, the studio prepared a special surprise gift for the daughter by inviting Chanyeol to the show.
Once Chanyeol stepped onto the set, the studio turned into chaos as the audience members, the daughter, and even the daughter's mother bursted into tears.
MC Yoo Jae Suk then said, "When Chanyeol appeared, the studio was filled with an ocean of tears." Chanyeol then gave a handshake and a hug to the daughter who expressed her love for the idol. Chanyeol made sure to thank her for all the support that she is giving EXO. He suggested, "I hope that you continue to draw well and study hard like your mom is telling you to."
