It is only natural that there are times when a group bullies or makes things difficult for me. In such moments, it is crucial to realize that this community is not the only place I belong. She added, For example, if you think that the community of school is the only place you are, you will suffer unbearably when you are a victim of school violence, bullying, or unable to make friends. I have experienced it myself.Lee Hye-seong said, But there is a community other than school. If you realize that a larger community will open up before you in the future, how much strength would that alone provide? She continued, If you come to know that there is a bigger world, you will realize that the pain you felt at school was truly nothing more than a small, passing pain.Lee Hye-seong added, As I read this part, I felt so strongly that anyone who has suffered unhealed wounds due to bullying or school violence should definitely read this. She then introduced a passage that reads: A bigger world unfolds outside of school. And we are all members of that world. If there is no place for me in school, I just need to find a place outside of it. It doesnt matter if I transfer schools or drop out. If you come to know that a bigger world exists, you will realize that the pain you felt at school was a storm in a teacup. Because once you step out of the teacup, even a raging storm will turn into a gentle breeze.Lee Hye-seong shared, If I am suffering too much in a group I belong to, it is not my fault, so I can cut ties with that group. I can join another group. How wonderful it would be if I knew this fact. She continued, If I am being bullied at a company, it doesnt have to be that company. I can go somewhere else. I am not such an insignificant being that I deserve to suffer at this company. I am a person of sufficient value, so I can certainly find a group that fits me well in the future. How wonderful it would be if I could think like this. I found myself thinking that way so often. Lee Hye-sung continued, But when I was young, back in middle school, I never thought about things like this. There were no adults to tell me this, and I couldnt read books like this. So, that situation was incredibly painful and difficult. Seeking a different group than this one? That I could be happier in another group? I never even considered such a possibility. She added, That is why I really wanted to tell those friends or people I meet in the future: You are such a valuable person that you do not need to stay in such a worthless group. You are a person worthy enough to go to a group that fits you better and find happiness. Please, never make a strange choice. I really want to tell them that.Previously, while reviewing Michael Sandels book *Justice: What Is It?*, Lee Hye-sung mentioned the case of actress Ha Young, who recently suspended her activities following a controversy regarding her great-grandfathers pro-Japanese activities. However, the questions raised in the book were interpreted as Lee Hye-sungs personal views, leading to distorted reports claiming she defended Ha Young and attacks from some netizens. In response, Lee Hye-sung clarified the misunderstanding through her social media and channel comments. Lee Hye-seong emphasized that in the video, she stated, None of us can be free from historical responsibility, and we must live with that responsibility, with the intent that the wrongdoings of her ancestors cannot be ignored.Meanwhile, Lee Hye-seong, a graduate of Seoul National University, began her broadcasting career in 2016 as a KBS 43rd-generation announcer through open recruitment, but she submitted her resignation in May 2020 and transitioned into a freelance broadcaster.
