He devoted himself to his studies and struck out independently when he was 27. He tried to make a restaurant where customers could enjoy a Planetarium, which he always liked, along with drinks, so he opened Planetarium BAR. As the owner, he continues to stand in his bar daily so guests can enjoy a special time.
