  On December 9, 2009, a music album of Pensseli-setä was released in Finland. He toured Finland a second time in February 2010. He has since not appeared in Finland. In 2011 and 2012, he has been the local contact for the Finnish media for reporting events in the Syrian civil war. Because of the YouTube video, Mihemed is usually referred to in Finland as "Pensseli-setä".
