It further added, "We will make all-out efforts with the artist's complete recovery as the top priority. We will provide updates through official channels, so we ask that you continue with unfounded speculation and conjecture."

Earlier, he had also posted a video titled "I Have Something to Say" on his YouTube channel 'Jjangho.' Regarding the "Actor's Disease" controversy, he said, "I felt uneasy and didn't have the courage to tell the company, so I turned on the camera without informing them."

He continued, "I have had symptoms for a few years. It seems to have worsened for about three weeks, so my friend Kwak Beom and colleagues around me, as well as company staff, suggested I get tested, and it has been about two weeks since I took the test." He added, "Around 6 o'clock today, my doctor called and said, 'Chang-ho, you tested positive for Actor's Disease.'"

He then added, "I am ready to change. I will engrave the wisdom you give me and try to overcome it. I will show you the process of overcoming and healing. Next time, I will greet you again as a more fully recovered Lee Chang-ho."

Afterward, Lee Chang-ho said on his SNS, "I am so relieved that there were no articles or worried phone calls after the video was suddenly uploaded on YouTube. I think I won't have to worry about things getting noisy starting tomorrow morning." He also stated, "In the past, there was no treatment available, and we had to leave it untreated, but now there are specialists and various treatment methods, so I am gathering courage."

Lee Chang-ho recently sparked the "Actor's Disease" controversy after appearing in the YouTube content "The 43rd Lee Chang-ho Mockery Party 2." However, he transformed it into comedy, conveyed his apologies, and brought laughter.
