2019–present: Debut with TXT and solo activities edit

On January 10, 2019, Big Hit announced the upcoming debut of its new boy group Tomorrow X Together.

On January 12, 2021, Yeonjun made his acting debut with a cameo appearance in the JTBC drama series Live On as Kim Jin-woo.[14] The following month, he participated in 2021 Fall/Winter New York Fashion Week, walking as a model for the South Korean brand UL:KIN.[15] In October, he featured on the track "Blockbuster" from Enhypen's first studio album Dimension: Dilemma released on the 12th.[16][17]

In February 2022, Yeonjun featured on the single "PS5" by American singer-songwriter Salem Ilese, alongside bandmate Taehyun and Norwegian DJ Alan Walker.[18] He was announced as one of the new hosts for Inkigayo, alongside actors Roh Jeong-eui and Seo Bum-june, on March 15.[19] In July, Yeonjun became an ambassador for the streetwear brand Privé Alliance. He also served as a guest creative designer and released a limited capsule collection available the following month until December.[20] On November 22, it was announced that Yeonjun will host the year-end SBS Gayo Daejeon festival with Key and An Yu-jin which will be held on December 25.
