Appearance

• Appearance: His hair is dark brown, sometimes appearing chestnut under stage lights.

His bangs came down to his eyebrows and often parted naturally in the middle, sometimes covering his forehead due to movement during performances. He has slender, almond-shaped eyes, and his eye color is light blue. His skin is very fair. In black-and-white photos, he looks almost pale, while in color photos, he appears closer to a light ivory skin tone.
• Clothing: For performances, he mainly wore well-fitted dark suits, often paired with a white shirt and a thin tie. He preferred jackets with a cinched waistline and slim-fit trousers. In his daily life, he enjoyed wearing thin knits, turtleneck sweaters, or plaid shirts, often choosing calm colors like black, gray, or dark brown. For footwear, he frequently wore Chelsea boots or ankle-high leather boots.
• Physique: He was tall but had a thin build. With his long arms and legs, his silhouette looked very slender when standing on stage with a guitar, and he showed a playing style that let his whole body follow the rhythm without unnecessary movements.
