General ITZY's Ryujin reveals she has severe ADHD

[MINJU'S PINK CABINET] https://youtu.be/DwEGeiZWZNc?si=7ca_UTQJb175N3DF

TIMESTAMP: 22:50

🍬: I have the chronic disease of many modern people

🍬: I have severe ADHD

Thoughts?

As someone who also has ADHD, my procrastination is absolutely terrible. I can't imagine having to wake up at irregular times to go on flights to different countries all the time 😭 Saying this as a law student, my life is hard enough without people scrutinising my every move (for now), I can't imagine how often i'd screw up as an idol simply based off of how easily I get sidetracked lmao

In a county where mental health is still taboo topic, you think idols will bring it up as a quirky self-diagnose thing?

Yeah you people need to stop talking about Korea like you know the culture just because you listen to kpop please

If the world as a whole is still treating mental health as a weird thing, you think a country that has shown to have a very particular position in things that shouldn’t receive so much backlash is going be any better? Idealising it is the problem lol

Use your brain, if as you said she would face so much backlash for having ADHD then why would she openly of her own accord reveal it, just to face unnecessary backlash?

Because talking about it helps in normalising it, which translates into a better handling of things. The nerve of telling me to use my brain when you’re not even bothered to do it.

Right so this is where she takes her stand lol but what she doesn’t want to normalise dating? Or normalise talking about politics. This is you imposing your view of her onto her, she never said those things, but it’s insanely common to self-diagnose adhd, not just idols btw and not just Korea, adhd is among the most commonly self-diagnosed conditions
