Within the band, Jun is part of the Performance Team, where his background in traditional Chinese dance and martial arts infuses his movements with a unique grace and power. Balancing life as an idol in Korea with a parallel career in China, he has also starred in television dramas, showcasing his versatility. Jun's story embodies the modern pan-Asian entertainer, building a bridge between cultures through discipline and artistic expression.
