Former Idol Caught For Drunk Driving Returns After Four Years

They are so grateful to the fans.

Former After School member Lizzy made a lengthy post online thanking fans.

She expressed her gratitude to everyone who took the time to come to her first solo fan meeting in Japan.

“I want to thank everyone who attended my first solo fan meeting in Tokyo on May 17 and 18, 2025. I bow my head with deep gratitude to all the fans who came to see me from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canada, Indonesia, and more. The fact that so many people came to see me makes me feel so blessed.

Truly, I missed you all so much. Being able to see everyone up close and look into each of your eyes during these three performances brought me happiness I cannot express in words. I can’t tell you how much my heart was filled with emotion after seeing all of your faces, which I had only been able to see from far away before. Through this, I realized again that the place I longed to be the most was on stage next to your warm hearts.

I went through a difficult time for a long time, blaming myself and disconnecting myself from the world, thinking that I would never be able to stand on stage again. I realized that even at the lowest point in life, there could always be a deeper place, and although it was a difficult time, I learned a lot from it. Maybe I took the world too lightly, and I realized that all those hearts who love and support me should not be taken for granted.

Nevertheless, I was deeply moved that there were people who had been waiting and supporting me even during these hard times. Old fans who had seen me since I was young, fans who came to see me after a long time, and precious new fans whom I met for the first time…everyone gathered in one place and gave me the strength and courage to stand on stage again. Thanks to you all, I could feel that I am still so deeply loved.

Thank you for all the warm letters and heartfelt gifts you sent me. I felt the love in every message and gift, and my eyes filled with tears.

This fan meeting was the start of a new beginning, and because you all were with me, I think it will be a moment I will never forget. I am here because of you, who have always supported me. You guys are my greatest strength, the reason I live, and the driving force of my life.

Thank you once again, and I will deeply engrave all of your precious hearts and repay you with a better image in the future. I am genuinely thankful and love you. Let’s see each other again!”
