Ultimately, Yan was found guilty of filming pornography with a minor and sentenced to a seven month suspended sentence and fines in May 2024 after reaching a settlement with the victim. Usually, a sentencing like this would result in an extended hiatus, but this has not been the case.
In addition to being active in other ways, Yan recently returned to music with a new album titled Ikigai.
He currently has activities planned for January, which is less than two years after his conviction.
