"I never thought I wouldn't be able to overcome it", he said. "I haven't been able to rest for more than 10 years since my debut. I figured it was a sign for me to look back on myself and spend time with my family. That's what I did. I received a lot of support and I was able to see good results. I always keep that in mind and I want to convey this energy to other people", expressing his gratitude to his fans.
