On the 18th, Lizzy posted several behind-the-scenes photos of the Tokyo fan meeting in Japan on her account. In the released photo, Lizzie showed her gratitude by posing with the microphone and authenticating the fan letter given by her fans.
Lizzie said "I've missed you so much from the bottom of my heart. Every moment I met you up close and I met each person in a long time, and I was able to sing, dance, and talk with them. It was a huge happiness that I couldn't express in any words" he said.
Then "I've had a hard time blaming myself for being disconnected from the world for a long time, caught up in the thought that I might never be able to stand on stage again. I realized that even at the moment I thought it was the bottom of my life, there could be a deeper place than that, and although it was a very bad thing, I learned a lot of lessons and enlightenment that I needed to live through that time. Perhaps I thought of the world too easily and learned deeply how precious and unexpected the love and heart of you who supported and loved me are."
Lizzie reiterated her gratitude to her fans and promised to repay the love she received through her active activities in the future.
In 2021, Lizzy crashed into a taxi that was ahead of her while driving under the influence near the southern intersection of Yeongdong-daero in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. At that time, his blood alcohol level was at the level of revocation of his license. Lizzie was fined 15 million won. In this process, he was criticized for being 'innerly south of the country' when he said in past interviews that 'he reported a drunk driver' and 'Drunk driving is a potential murder'. In response, Lizzie shed tears on a live broadcast and made remarks to the effect that she was paying too harsh a price, which was once again controversial.
Next is the full text of Lizzy's writing.
On May 17 and 18, 2025, I sincerely thank everyone who took precious steps and took precious time to shine at my first solo fan meeting held in Tokyo, Japan.
I bow down to the warm hearts of all the fans who are willing to come and see me from all over Japan, and from Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canada, Indonesia, and so on. The fact that you came from so many places with your heart toward me made me feel like a truly blessed person.
Seriously, I missed you so much. Through the three performances, every moment I was able to meet you closely for the first time in a long time, and sing, dance, and talk together while making eye contact with each of you, was a great happiness that no words can describe to me. I was so touched and moved throughout the entire stage that I was able to see your face, which was only small from a distance on the stage, up close through this fan meeting. Once again, I felt deeply that the place I missed so much was right on stage and by your warm heart.
In fact, I've had a hard time blaming myself for being disconnected from the world for a long time, caught up in the thought that I might never be able to be on stage again. I realized that there could be a deeper place than that even in the moment I thought it was the bottom of my life, and I learned a lot of lessons and enlightenment that I needed to live through that time, even though it was a very bad thing. Maybe I thought of the world too easily, and I learned deeply how precious and uncharacteristic your heart and love for supporting and loving me are.
Nevertheless, I was very touched and deeply grateful that there were people who waited and cheered for me despite the difficult times and came to see me again. The old fans who have been watching me since childhood, the welcome fans who have come to see me in a long time, and the precious new fans who have met me for the first time.. Everyone gathered in one place and gave me great strength and courage to get back on stage. Thanks to you, I feel with my whole body again that I am still loved so hot.
Thank you very much for all the warm-hearted letters and sincere gifts you have sent. Feeling the love in each of your messages and gifts, 'How can I be so generous and precious...' Thinking and thanking, my eyes turned red several times.
This fan meeting marked a new beginning for me, and I think it will be remembered as the most precious and overwhelming experience that I will never forget in my life because you were with me in that precious moment. I can exist here because of you who always support and love me. You are the greatest force to me, the reason why I live, and the driving force of my life.
Once again, I sincerely thank you, and I will keep all your precious hearts in my heart and repay you with better performances in the future.
Thank you so much and I love you.
Let's meet again!
-Lizzy, dream?-??
