    He had a second FUE of about 1300 grafts at New Hair Hair Transplant Clinic in Seoul in October 2025, with Dr. Jino Kim designing the hairline; no price is given. His first transplant, about 1200 grafts in Turkey roughly 8 years earlier, never looked natural to him. One day after surgery he said the difference was night and day and that the personalized approach and care made it worth every cent. The result is still pending.
