In his own words:

Outside playing the piano, I have a variety of interests, such as playing the sports. I like to play the 3Bs: Billiards, Basketball and Badminton. Among these, my favorite sport is Billiards because it helps me to concentrate and calm down. In addition to sports, I enjoy food; indeed, one of my childhood dreams was to be a gourmet. Other interests include listening to music (my favorite singer is Avril Lavigne and my favorite song is The Best Damn Thing); and reading a variety of magazines - especially any magazine that presents new and exciting information.

I believe participating in piano competition is a great opportunity to share the beauty of music with fellow musicians and to learn from each other the skills of playing the piano. I believe I will benefit tremendously from listening and watching other competitors perform at the piano competition. It will be a great experience for me and will help me to advance in my piano study.

My goal as a musician is to have a world tour performance and to spread the joy and the beauty of music.
