Fans have loved seeing Youngjae, the member of K-pop boy group GOT7, on multiple variety shows with his members or as a solo artist. Ahgases are aware also of the fact that it had been the singer's long-time dream to act and it seems like his exit from the label JYP Entertainment is helping it. After all seven members of the group decided against renewing their contracts with JYP back in 2020, GOT7's Youngjae landed his first acting role.

Back in June, Youngjae landed his first acting role in the Netflix Korean sitcom 'So Not Worth It' where he played a side role. Youngjae played the character of Sam, the son of the president of an Australian tteokbokki global food chain. Following that, Youngjae went back to what he does best and released his first solo album as ARS (his pseudonym) titled 'Color from ARS' which was a global success. Back in November, Youngjae was confirmed to play his first lead role in the upcoming Kakao TV drama, 'Love and Wish' which is based on the webtoon of the same name. 'Love & Wish' is scheduled to be released as a movie and a short drama through domestic and overseas OTT platforms in December.
