Lippert returned to work on Wednesday, 14 days since he was attacked by Kim Ki-jong with a knife.
On Wednesday, Lippert updated his Facebook page with photos taken while walking to work.
“Great to walk into work today w @LRobynDC & Se-joon & @GrigsbyBasset - great to be back!” he wrote.
In the same post in Korean, he also wrote that he took a “fun” stroll to the U.S. embassy.
In the attack, which occurred on March 5, Lippert received cuts to his face and wrist at a seminar from Kim, an ultraleft activist wielding a 25-centimeter knife.
Kim was taken into custody at the scene and now faces charges of attempted murder.
