He was initially worried about taking on the role of Phun because he did not want to cut his hair, as the directors initially wanted for his character and he was not interested in portraying a gay character as he was concerned on how people would perceive him for taking on the role.

He later decided to join the cast and was happy because of the warm reception he received from fans of the show.
