"I haven't left the battlefield completely but came to recover from injuries. I want to go back ... because the war has not ended, there's still a lot to do," Rhee said at the airport.

Rhee said he was suffering from a cruciate ligament injury in both legs. However, he was able to walk.

He said he would cooperate in the investigation.
