News of singer MC Mong, who was previously found guilty of delaying his military enlistment, has emerged.

An unnamed source close to the singer spoke to KBS's "Entertainment Weekly" on November 19th. He revealed, "Celebrities, including the '1 Night 2 Days' members, have not been able to contact MC Mong. They have been asking me about him. He has a social phobia now and is unable to even go to the hospital."

He was given a six month jail sentence, suspended for a year, and was also ordered to complete a hundred and twenty hours of community service.

He tweeted on that day, "Sorry, and sorry yet again. I will atone for this sin for the rest of my life. I don't blame anyone. I used to receive so much love from everyone; now I can't look anyone in the eye. I live doing volunteer work in the name of happiness."

If social phobia here is referring to agoraphobia (which is what it sounds like if he "is unable to even go to the hospital"), that is some tough shit. I developed it a few years ago and it was absolute hell. It's very difficult to break free from because it snowballs out of control so quickly, but in any case, I wish him the best.

i hear you bb. I've had agoraphobia for 7 years now :(

Mine started almost five years ago and I mean, for the most part, I'm... Idk what the right term would be, but I'm currently more or less functional, I suppose. I go out and do things now (albeit not nearly as much as I probably should), whereas when it developed, I wouldn't leave the house at all.

You sound exactly like me. When it first hit, it was crazy how fast I went from being functional to not even being able to go outside.
I'm generally "functional" now I guess, but it's mostly because I do avoid a lot of the things that trigger my anxiety, and I'm also used to living in a state of constant anxiety.

Lately I've been getting better though, my social worker has me doing this workbook which I seriously recommend. All the shit that makes you feel stupid and illogical for thinking is completely explained and you're like ah~ i'm not alone lol

Yeah, I was about halfway through my senior year of high school, and it started pretty suddenly. I became a school refusal and finished school on the housebound program, not even going to my graduation.

I agree; I also avoid triggers for the most part. I'm def used to just being on edge and uncomfortable almost all of the time.

That looks very interesting; thank you!
