I do share some silly photos of myself on Instagram every now and then."

He continued, "Actually, my agency tried really hard to stop me from doing it for about three years after I made debut. They were like, 'We want people to perceive you as a cool person, Sungjae. But they are not going to think like that about you if you keep doing that. So, please stop posting that kind of stuff online.'"

He added with a laugh, "You know what I did though? I just ignored them and kept doing what I wanted to do."Then, Yook Sungjae mentioned that things are a bit different for K-pop stars these days.
