Yu revealed in an interview with tabloid sources that his father would work two jobs to support the family since he didn’t look after the family and his mother would work two jobs to support the family.

Yu was granted parole in November 2013 after serving ten years in prison; however, he was imprisoned again after being accused of violating his parole and was released in 2017.
