Ju Hak Nyeon is a South Korean singer, dancer, actor, and former member of THE BOYZ (더보이즈). He graduated from Hanlim Entertainment Arts High School and is enrolled in Seoul Cyber ​​University. He has Chinese descent and lived in Hong Kong for several years as a child.

He made his debut in December 2017 as the group's lead dancer, sub-vocalist and sub-rapper with their first EP, "The First", and was managed by Cre.Ker Entertainment (크래커엔터테인먼트). They were able to win rookie awards in 2018 from the Korea Brand Awards, the Soribada Best K-Music Awards and the Melon Music Awards, all of which allowed them to gain a steady international fanbase.

In November 2019, they debuted in Japan with the release of their EP, "Tattoo". Then, in May 2020, the group entered Mnet's reality competition "Road to Kingdom" ending in 1st place and earning more commercial success and even winning Artist of the Year at the 2021 The Fact Music Awards. Later that year, their agency merged with PlayM Entertainment and became IST Entertainment (IST엔터테인먼트).

In November 2023, he suffered an injury and was diagnosed with disc stenosis, opting to go on hiatus to fully recover. In November 2024, the group signed with One Hundred (원헌드레드레이블), who is now managing their activities.

In June 2025, he announced he was halting all activities due to personal reasons. A few days later, rumors began circulating about him allegedly paying former Japanese adult video (AV) actress Asuka Kirara for sexual services during a private meeting in Tokyo. After initially denying the rumors, he reportedly admitted to the allegations after his agency presented him with evidence during an internal investigation. One Hundred later confirmed that his contract was terminated, citing serious misconduct and a complete loss of trust.

He later posted a handwritten apology where he, once again, denied the prostitution solicitation allegations and has sued a reporter for defamation and accused One Hundred of lying and forcing him out of the group without proper evidence.
