Singer Seo In-young and comedian Lee Hwi-jae resumed public activities in March through an online channel and a TV variety show, respectively. Seo In-young launched her channel 'Seo In-young's Gaegwacheonseon' in March. On the channel, Seo In-young gave her account of past TV controversies and discussed her marriage and divorce. The subjects included criticism of how she spoke on 'Radio Star,' a reported dispute involving fellow 'Heroes' cast members and rumors of a falling-out with Baek Ji-young. Addressing a controversy over filming 'With You 2' in Dubai, she acknowledged disrupting the shoot. She said profanity heard in a circulating video was directed at her manager rather than a writer, and denied allegations that she had mistreated staff. Those were Seo's responses to the controversy.
Seo previously worked as a member of Jewelry and as a solo singer, and appeared on variety shows. After her channel launched, its videos drew millions of views. At the time of the report, the channel was approaching 1 million subscribers, and its videos were described as averaging roughly 2 million to 5 million views. Seo In-young appeared on 'You Quiz' and performed with Jewelry on 'Immortal Songs.' The performance was described as the first time the Jewelry members had reunited onstage in 20 years. A forthcoming remarriage was also reported, though a wedding date and other details had not been disclosed. Seo married a man outside the entertainment industry in 2023 and divorced about 1 year later.

He said he could not undo the past but would do his best if offered work again. He also described feeling gratitude, regret and other emotions at seeing his name at a broadcaster once more. Lee became tearful while talking about his twin sons. He said they now understood what their father did for work and had written him a letter saying they wanted him to work again. That account of his sons came from Lee's remarks on the program.

He briefly returned to Korea after his mother's death in 2023, without resuming his broadcast work.
