"I think I was able to feel that my inner strength grew. It's like I surpassed my past self. My perspective became wider, and I am able to see things around me that I wasn't able to see before," he continued.

The 24-year-old revealed that the choreography was inspired by the movies "Venom" and "Constantine."

"The choreography is the result of thinking a lot about how to portray my story and the emotions behind it without being too stimulating,” he added.

"Paranoia" surpassed over 3.8 million views on YouTube within 24 hours of its release.
