In the video, he shared, “I hope those of you who read this book can get comfort from it”, adding “After debuting as a writer, I got ten copies for the first edition of my book through the mail. And as I ripped off the wrapping paper, I felt like going back to my childhood and getting gifts on Christmas eve.”

He said, “‘Self-Reliance’ is the book which I always carry in my audition and read while taking a bus or subway”.

He continued, “The book that comes up in my mind these days is ‘Musoyou’ by Bopjong. When a person can’t own something, he either has to give up on it or own it. He has to try between them. However, ‘Musoyou’ suggests a way that enables both of them. It impressed me by teaching how to try to own something and empty my mind at the same time.”
