From day one of his contract being made public, he was motivated by the reception with which the news was received on social networks, and of course the challenge it represents for him.

“I already received so much love from my fans in Korea! I can’t believe so many people know who I am! I’m happy and see you very soon Korea! Here’s a little video for my new fans that I already love.

Go to a new country once again where I don’t speak the language and need to learn the culture. This time I’m a little older, I have some lessons under my belt and some new tools. I CAN’T WAIT for a chance to play hard! Thanks God”. They were his first words to the followers of the Heroes.
