Singer and actor Lee Ru, who was caught for drunk driving and spent time in self-reflection, has directly shared his feelings about returning to broadcasts and stages after approximately four years.

On the 8th, Lee Ru posted several stage videos and said, "It was a stage where I felt cautious and very nervous since it had been so long. It was meaningful and grateful to be able to show my appearance on screen to my mother once again." He added, "I was happy and joyful amidst the support and encouragement of many people. Thank you once again."

In September 2022, Lee Ru was caught for drunk driving in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, and subsequently charged with swapping drivers. Additionally, in December 2022, he was indicted for aiding another person (Mr. A), who was intoxicated, to move his car into a parking spot while under the influence, and for causing an accident by driving at 184.5 km/h on Gwangbyeonbuk-ro and crashing into a guardrail. He was ultimately sentenced to six months in prison with a one-year probation period.

Subsequently, Lee Ru appeared on TV CHOSUN's "Joseon's Lover" broadcast on the 6th, performing at a five-anniversary special singing contest. He sang his mother's favorite song, "Black Glasses," and also performed "Ok-gyeong-i" alongside his father, Tae Jin-ah.

Regarding his mother currently suffering from dementia, Lee Ru sent her a video letter, shedding tears as he said, "If my mother happens to see this broadcast, I want to tell her I'm sorry and that I love her. I feel truly sorry for being born as her son. My heart has been so broken. If there is another life, I hope to be reborn as her son again. Let's meet again, Mom."
