Yaochen is continuing to thrive with recent active engagements. Yaochen, a member of JYP China, held a solo performance titled 'Special Party of the Great Wall' on Aug. 9 (local time) at an outdoor camping site in Beijing, China. This performance was organized to commemorate the 10,000th day since Yaochen's birthday on March 23, 1998, featuring a camping concept and sharing special memories through various events with fans. Additionally, he showcased energetic stage charms with songs ranging from his first solo track 'NEVERMIND' to 'Adventure Player' and 'Better With You,' a track produced by JYP's leading producer Park Jin-Young.
Yaochen has been actively continuing his momentum recently. After the release of the title track 'Better With You' from the album '有更好 Better With You' in November 2024, he held fan meetings titled 'Better With You 2024 Yaochen Fanmeeting' starting in December in Guangzhou, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Beijing. In the first half of the year, he appeared on stages in prominent local music festivals such as the Shenyang Rose Music Festival and the Ningbo Xiangshan North Latitude 30 Langchao Music Festival, establishing his presence as a solo artist. On the 6th of this month, a strategic partnership between JYP China and Wanda Pictures, the number one production and distribution company in the Chinese cinema market, was officially announced, leading to Yaochen being selected as a 'Wanda Pictures star partner.' Under this partnership, Yaochen will advance into acting activities through collaboration with Wanda Pictures, alongside his music endeavors, focusing on strengthening cooperation across multiple areas in the entertainment industry including acting, film, drama, music, marketing, and offline spaces. He is set to meet viewers and expand his activity range with works produced by Wanda Pictures in 2026, such as '万古最强宗' and '耀眼.'
Yaochen debuted as a member of the boy group RIIZE through the Chinese audition program '创作营2019' and stepped into the solo music scene in 2021. With songs '不必回答(bubi huida)' and '夜·YEAH, NOW' released in June and December of 2021, he consecutively earned the certification of popular digital singles on QQ Music's annual chart for 2021. In December of the same year, he won the 'New Star of the Year' award at the Tencent Music Entertainment Awards and the 'The Artist of Media's Choice' award at the QQMusic Awards, solidifying his standing as a solo artist. In July of last year, he continued to generate buzz by winning the 'Breakthrough Dance Artist of the Year' at the 2024 Tencent Music Entertainment Awards and the 'Stage Performance Artist of the Year' trophy at the 2024 Weibo Music Awards in September.
