Fans requested he start an Instagram and he stated that he would. After talking about not having many photos, he talked about his weight while in the army and stated, "When I was in the army I gained 19kg (41 pounds), but now I've lost 14kg (30 pounds). I didn't want to look too old so I had a diet of eating high sodium and low protein foods. It's a bit silly, isn't it? So I lost weight and now I weigh around 65kg to 66kg (143 to 145 pounds). I lost a lot of weight, didn't I?"
