Specializing in illustrations and watercolor works, Chen Xi enjoys practicing his art whenever he is overseas, sketching and painting different sceneries as a hobby and self-expression.

[16] Chen Xi continues to be active in the media industry, working with Mediacorp on a project-by-project basis and contributing as an actor and visual artist.

[19] During his secondary school years, Chen, unfortunately, contracted a corneal infection that led to a partial loss of vision in his left eye.

After nearly eight years of searching for a cure, Chen received a partial corneal transplant, operated by Dr Julian Theng during his time in the army, and has since recovered 75% of his vision in his left eye.

[22] In an interview in August 2023, Chen estimated that he would be spending a substantial amount on his 1-year King's College London arts management masters course, including accommodation and living expenses.

Chen said he would still be in the media industry, working with Mediacorp on a project-by-project basis and continuing to contribute as an actor upon completing his master's degree.
