He admitted this schedule caused him significant stress, resulting in a mental breakdown. Despite the difficulties, Yang expressed pride in his work on both projects. He confirmed he will not repeat the grueling commute and looks forward to future roles, including a remake of "The Wedding Banquet" and "Wicked" Part 2.
