He made his debut as an actor in 2012 with the KBS drama Dream High 2. On May 20, he debuted with JB as one half of the duo JJ Project with the digital single "Bounce".
At the time, he used the stage name Jr. (which would later be spelled Junior) due to sharing his name with his company's founder. Both members of the duo debuted once again on January 16, 2014 as part of the 7-member boy group GOT7 with the mini album Got It?.
