Possessing a beautiful and quite Western appearance, Lee So Jung quickly gained the attention of the audience even though acting is not her forte.
Thanks to her impressive height of 1.77m, Lee So Jung has also appeared in many fashion publications and is the advertising face for brands. Since 2017, she has temporarily stopped her artistic activities and gone into hiding.
In a conversation with the Korean media, Lee So Jung revealed that she is a mixed-race person with European and Asian blood. Lee So Jung's mother is Korean and her father is a foreigner. Lee So Jung recounted: "After my parents divorced, my mother beat me a lot because I looked a lot like my father."
In the program, the actress admitted that her childhood was associated with many beatings from her mother, grandfather and uncle. The discord between her and her maternal family has lasted until now. Therefore, during her wedding, Lee So Jung did not inform her mother or her maternal family.

Not only was Lee So Jung physically and mentally abused by her own family, she was also a victim of school violence.

When asked about her current condition, the actress born in 1987 said that she is being treated for depression, bipolar disorder and chronic insomnia. "I have had 6 seizures. Many times I wonder what I came to this life to do? I really feel like my life is at a standstill."
Lacking family affection, Lee So Jung once placed high hopes on her marriage. However, the 8X star only received loneliness and a lack of harmony with her husband.
"I used to think that getting married was a way out for me from my unhappy relationship with my biological mother. However, marriage really wasn't the solution for me," she said sadly.
Lee So Jung said that she decided to marry her husband after only meeting him twice and knowing him for 2 months. After that, the actress decided to retire to focus on running a Japanese restaurant with her husband.

"Life has changed so much. Sometimes I wonder if I was too hasty in getting married," she said. The actress did not blame her husband entirely. She admitted that the conflict between the two stemmed from Lee So Jung's frequent drinking.
On the show, Lee So Jung's husband said, "3 months ago, my wife got drunk, fell in the bathroom and bruised her shoulder." He also admitted that there were many disagreements in their married life because of his wife's drinking habits. According to Lee So Jung's husband, she can drink more than 30 bottles of alcohol a week.
As for Lee So Jung, the actress explained that her partner was indifferent, causing her to gradually become disappointed. According to the actress, she had an unhappy childhood and planned to get married to get away from her biological mother. However, her marriage did not go as expected, making her depression worse.
The beauty born in 1987 was desperate when she told her husband right on the show: "I'm really depressed. Being with you, I feel a lot of pressure." But in response, her husband only said: "I just want to live like a normal person. Do you think our life now is like a human's?"
Actress Lee So Jung's sharing made many viewers feel sorry. They hope that the "mixed-race beauty" will soon find a psychological solution, balance her life, and mend her relationship with her husband.
Many people advise Lee So Jung to return to acting, to find joy in everyday life instead of drowning herself in alcohol or struggling with depression.
