Although he has become a husband, Wang Yao-xin revealed in an interview that he does not plan to retire just yet. "After marriage, I will mostly stay here (in Malaysia) because I want to play for a few more years, while she might fly back to Japan to seek job opportunities."

Speaking about the marriage registration process, Wang Yao-xin mentioned that because Akane Yamaguchi is a foreigner, they faced some difficulties in handling the paperwork. "I had to clarify many issues and deal with a lot of procedures. Since my wife is not a local, the entire process was quite different from what my friends experienced when they registered." Wang Yao-xin said, "Every country has different procedures, but we took it step by step, and in the end, we managed to complete it smoothly."
