Singer Lee Ru shared his feelings after being diagnosed with the flu.
On the 11th, Lee Ru posted on his social media (SNS) account, “When my body is sick, it seems my mind is too. I need to pull myself together.”
He continued, “This flu is really tough. I keep repeating ‘I’m fine’ and ‘No, I’m not.’ I’m stuck alone in the room—what’s going on? I can’t even exercise. And there’s a competition this Friday. Everyone is wearing masks. It’s heartbreaking and depressing,” revealing his struggles after contracting the flu.
Previously, after receiving a flu diagnosis, Lee Ru stated he was “self-isolating” and said, “I’m more worried about my mom than myself. I spent several days caring for her while wearing two masks and sanitary gloves, but I’m still worried,” expressing concern for his mother who is battling dementia.
Meanwhile, Lee Ru, the son of the couple Ta Jin-a and Lee Ok-hyung (Ok Gyeong-i), was indicted in September 2022 on charges of drunk driving and swapping drivers with a passenger. In December of the same year, he was prosecuted on charges including drunk driving for allowing an intoxicated individual, Mr. A, to move his car, and causing an accident by crashing into a guardrail on the Gangbyeonbuk-ro while driving at speeds exceeding 180 km/h in an intoxicated state. He was sentenced to six months in prison with a one-year suspension of execution.
