Xian Lim explains previous break from social media

The actor says he decided to deactivate his account temporarily to focus on his deadlines


22 Jun - Actor Xian Lim assured that there is nothing wrong with his career in showbiz or in his personal life that led to his previous decision to take a short break from social media last month.

As reported on ABS-CBN, back in May, Lim suddenly posted a short message that read "Goodbye for now" on his Instagram account before deactivating it, causing concern among his fans.

Many speculated that it had something to do with his onscreen and off-screen partner, Kim Chiu's love team reunion with her ex-boyfriend Gerald Anderson.

However, speaking to the media about his social media break recently, the actor said that he did so after watching a video that says a person should take a break from social media from time to time.

"Sometimes we need to be alone in our thoughts to be more creative. We can think more that way. That's the whole story," he said.

Lim stated that he decided to stay away from social media so that he could focus on his deadlines at the time.

"I was doing and still doing a movie, concert, and then album I just finished a couple of days ago. I also have an art exhibition on 16 July, the day after the concert - a couple of painting, and then a solo exhibition. So I told myself, I have to stop this first to focus on the things I have to do, then I'll come back," he said.

As for his relationship with Chiu, Lim assured that everything is still the same.
