He also got featured on Xu Xin Wen's music video of "The MVP"(August 2021).
Moreover, Chen Jun Yu has been singing OSTs from dramas as well and by far these are: "Ni" from "Yu Jun Xin Dong Shi" (April 2021); "Yuan Lai", that he sang with Niu Yu Kun from the drama that they both starred, "Better a Lie than a Truth" (January 2022); "No regrets", from the drama "To Our Dreamland of Ice" (February 2022); and the end credits song "Yi Jian Yue Guang" of the drama "Love Behind the Melody" (June 2022), that he sang together with Chen Le Yi.
"Better a Lie than a Truth" which was successfully aired in January 2022 marks Jun Yu's acting debut wherein he portrayed Qiao Mu Sheng—the lead role. His acting career continues as this was followed by his 2nd drama called "Decline"wherein he also portrayed the lead role— Su Cheng Xi.
