In Minjung has been sharing updates about herself and Kim Dongseong through her social media. In November of last year, she posted a photo of Kim Dongseong cleaning at a construction site, writing, "Cleaning up filth. An update after a long time. This is how we're living. Feels like an ironic world." The released photo showed Kim Dongseong cleaning the floor of a building while wearing a safety helmet, mask, and rubber gloves.

In Minjung also uploaded a video of Kim Dongseong scrubbing the floor with a brush, saying, "Foreman Kim cleaning up waste. The foreman working with him said, 'His form is just like short track.'" She added, "I'm so grateful for all the support and encouragement from those around us. No one will ever know how much pain he had to overcome to get to this point in life."
