After the remarks, rumors of Lee Soon-jae's health abnormalities spread again online.

An agency official said "The teacher has recently been receiving rehabilitation treatment at the hospital because his legs are weak."There are no major health problems, and we are currently refraining from visiting outside of our family for recovery."
He then expressed a cautious attitude, saying, `Because of the nature of my job as an actor, he wants to stand in full public.'
In October last year, Lee Soon-jae dropped out of the stage while waiting for Godot due to poor health, and did not attend the 37th Korea PD Awards held in April this year. Even at that time, the agency was unable to attend due to physical discomfort" he once said.
