Asep is highly dedicated in his field. He encourages his nation to appreciate and relearn about the country's history. “A great nation is the one that can appreciate its history. The reason why this nation is never great is because we refuse to appreciate history”, Asep stated firmly and spiritedly.

But the past is not Asep's only passion. He's also passionate about his name that he co-founded Paguyuban Asep Dunia (World Asep Community). There are so many people bearing the name Asep they made a club out of it.[4]
