'True Beauty' author Yaongyi confesses she went to a psychiatrist for help due to receiving hate comments + makes efforts to maintain her figure

On August 6, Mobidic's YouTube variety show 'Breakfast With Tiffany' released a new video featuring author Yaongyi as a guest.

In the released video, author Yaongyi of the popular webtoon 'True Beauty' said, "I don't really have a set routine. I currently have a routine where I wake up at around eleven o'clock in the morning, finish working at dawn, and then go home. Even if I live in a mess, I always body check with my eyes every morning. As soon as I wake up, I take off all my clothes and while only in my underwear, I look at my body." She continued to reveal her efforts to maintain her figure. Yaongyi stated, "I do gain weight if I sit for a long time. Wherever I go, I check my body condition and make efforts to maintain a similar body shape."

She then went on to talk about the hate comments she receives, and the toll it took on her. Yaongyi said, "Because I receive a lot of love for my work, people find me on my social media page and leave a lot of hate comments. I don't care about any criticism I receive towards my work, but I happen to receive a lot of personal attacks. They comment on how my eyes look a certain way, my nose is a certain way, and how my legs are short, all while relying on anonymity." Yaongyi began to wonder why she was receiving so many hate comments when she is just a person who draws cartoons. She continued, "At first, I was so hurt that I suffered a lot. I even tried going to a psychiatrist, and thought 'Is it me who is the weird one?' " Yaongyi, who is busy living as an author and a single mother, all while responsibly managing her health, further stated that she "somehow becomes a superwoman" to get everything done, despite it being difficult.
