On January 28, Lizzy went live on her personal account to communicate with fans. Appearing in a natural look with her hair tied up, she spoke casually with viewers and answered questions. During the broadcast, she said, “I’ll try to live without dying,” but then added bluntly, “I want to die,” shocking many who were watching.

Although she repeatedly tried to reassure fans by saying things like, “I’ll try to live,” and “I’ll somehow keep going,” she later said, “I really want to die. It wouldn’t matter if I lived, and it wouldn’t matter if I didn’t,” intensifying concerns about her mental state.

Lizzy debuted in 2010 as a member of After School and later promoted as part of the unit group Orange Caramel. She received widespread love through hit songs such as “Catallena,” “Magic Girl,” and “Shanghai Romance.” Afterward, she transitioned into acting and remained active across various entertainment fields.

However, her career came to a halt following a drunk driving incident in May 2021 near Yeongdong Bridge in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. Lizzy collided with a taxi while driving under the influence, with her blood alcohol concentration exceeding 0.08 percent high enough to warrant license revocation. She was later fined and suspended all entertainment activities to reflect on her actions.

At the time, Lizzy publicly apologized, stating, “This should never have happened, and there is no excuse. It was entirely my fault. I sincerely apologize to the driver who was harmed and to everyone who cared for and supported me.”

Her recent comments have prompted fans to express deep concern and hope that she receives proper support and care during this difficult time.
