Lee Jun Young

Lee Jun Young (이준영; born January 22, 1997), also known as Jun, is a South Korean singer, rapper, dancer, and actor signed to Billions, a company he co-founded. Born in Uijeongbu, he attended Pai Chai University before debuting with U-KISS in June 2014 under NH Media -- joining the group as they kicked off their Japan arena tour at Nippon Budokan that same year. In 2017-18, he joined the Mnet survival show The Unit, winning the center position and main vocalist role in the project group UNB.

He departed U-KISS in 2021 after seven years, and co-established J-flex Entertainment to develop his acting career. In 2023 he transitioned to Blade Entertainment, before founding Billions in 2024. His acting breakthrough came with Netflix's military drama D.P. (2021), where his performance as a conflicted deserter hunter earned him rookie actor recognition. He followed with the Netflix original Mask Girl (2023), the breakout ensemble When Life Gives You Tangerines (2025), and the action series Weak Hero Class 2 (2025), cementing his standing among Korean television's most versatile young actors.

In 2026, he stars in The New Employee Chairman Kang, a workplace drama that marks his first lead role in a major network series. Standing 185 cm, he has participated in musical theatre, dance battles, variety programs, and art exhibitions -- described by Korean press as a "hexagonal trendsetter" for his range across disciplines.
