Actor Kim Bin-woo shared an update on life in Bali, three weeks into living abroad there.

In a Wednesday post on Instagram, Kim said, "I have traveled to Bali three times, but starting from this fourth stay, I have to live here as an immigrant, not a tourist. What has changed the most is my mindset."

"When traveling, whenever something was inconvenient, I would get annoyed and complain, thinking things were not great or uncomfortable. But now that I face these things in daily life, I have decided that complaining will not change the reality, so instead I should accept that this is just how things are here and look for solutions within that," Kim said. "Back then, I had to find enjoyment within a fixed period called a trip. Now, we are taking Bali as it is, a bit more at ease."

Kim went on to say, "In Korea, I lived in a frenzy, telling myself over and over that I could not afford to get sick. Maybe my body finally let its guard down, because a few days after seeing my family, I came down with a cold in tropical Bali and have had it for two weeks now." Kim added, "I am only now slowly getting back to my usual condition, but every weekend without fail we have taken the children to the beach and walked around the neighborhood, and in the meantime the kids have been quickly adjusting to their new school."

"Above all, I am not just physically with the children but connecting with them emotionally," Kim said, and went on to say, "My mind is becoming more at ease as well, and we are following through well on the reason we came to Bali."

Kim has been sharing glimpses of daily life in Bali.

On Aug. 16, Kim wrote on Instagram, "I have arrived safely in Bali," and added, "I will post updates so often you will wonder, 'Did they really leave?' So let's say goodbye to any lingering regrets and do well wherever we are."

Kim debuted in 2003 in the MBC drama series "Are You Still Dreaming?"
