In her apology, she said: "I am sorry for causing concerns and a commotion. In terms of health, I am recovering ... I had been in agony over a number of overlapping issues. But from now on, I will steel my heart and try to show up healthy."

At the time, Seongnam police said: "Her manager visited her home after failing to reach her since their last call the night before."
