Jeong Jaehyun

Jeong Jaehyun started his career as a trainee under SM Entertainment. After years of training, he was chosen to be a part of the boy group NCT, which debuted in 2016.

With NCT, Jeong Jaehyun managed to make a name for himself. His talents in singing, rapping, and dancing are widely acknowledged by the Korean general public.

In 2021, before his much-anticipated acting debut, he made one more achievement in his profession as he was delegated as the new ambassador of the top-of-the-line Italian brand Prada.

After that, he was scheduled to make his first appearance as an actor in the drama series Dear. M (2021). Unfortunately, the series had to be postponed from airing due to some circulating scandals.

However, that did not stop Jaehyun from pursuing a career as an actor as he landed another lead role in the drama series Bungee Jumping (2022).
