As Xiumin grew older, he got more proficient in his studies, sword fighting, and all other things that are a Prince should know. He developed his personality further by developing various hobbies. He was always interested in new things and would often sit with scholars and merchants alike form all over land to learn from them. Some of his hobbies included making brews using coffee beans, their varieties amazed him to no extent; body building, at 14 he looked like a god which was totally bad for the moonstruck fangirls (i.e. the populace).
