Bae Jinyoung participated in the South Korean boy band survival show Produce 101 season 2, which aired by Mnet from April 7 to June 16, 2017. Bae Jinyoung quickly gained immense popularity before the show aired as his PR-video of him doing his "Baebastic" introduction went viral.[7] Bae's infamous Aegyo-set "ttak-ttak" was first revealed in the video, and the PR-video is the first to reach 10 million views on Naver TV,[8][9] and is today the most viewed PR-video out of all existing in the four seasons of Produce 101. In the final episode, Bae Jinyoung ranked at 10th place with 807,749 in-real time votes and thus earning a spot in the winning group, the project boy group Wanna One managed by YMC Entertainment.[10] Bae officially debuted in Wanna One during Wanna One Premier Show-Con on August 7, 2017, at Gocheok Sky Dome with the EP mini-album 1×1=1 (To Be One).[11] The venue is the largest ever used for an idol-group's debut event, with the reported number of attendees exceeding 20,000 people.[12]

While promoting in Wanna One, Bae was critically acclaimed for his authority on stage and remarkable growth since competing in Produce 101 (season 2).[13][14][15][16] Bae received 100 notable awards with Wanna One, reflecting the group's musical achievements and popularity, and endorsed for 25 different brands in various commercial films.[17][18]

In connection with Wanna One's disbandment, the group held their final concert, "Therefore", which was held across four days, starting from January 24 to the last show on January 27, 2019, at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, where the group held their debut showcase.[19] The final concert marked Bae Jinyoung's last appearance as a Wanna One member.[20]

2019–present: Solo activities and CIX

edit

Following the disbandment of Wanna One, C9 Entertainment announced Bae Jinyoung's 1st Asia fan-meeting tour, "IM YOUNG", on February 27.[21] The tour took place at locations in South Korea, Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong and Taiwan.[22]

Bae Jinyoung debuted as a soloist on April 26 with his self-composed single album, Hard To Say Goodbye.[23][24][25]

On July 30, 2021, it was announced that Bae Jinyoung was selected as male lead in WHYNOT Media Original Drama User Not Found. He will play the character of Shin Yi-jun, a popular high schooler, who seems fierce on the outside but is actually delicate. It will be aired in November 2021.[27]

In 2022, Bae made his big screen debut with the Thai-Singapore joint film The Antique Shop, which was released on June 2, 2022.[28]
