THE BOYZ’s Juyeon Signs With ACE FACTORY to Expand Into Acting

THE BOYZ’s Juyeon has signed an exclusive contract with ACE FACTORY, opening a new acting chapter while continuing his work with the group. The company announced the agreement on April 14 and released new profile photographs presenting the singer and performer in an actor-focused setting.

The deal is structured around two connected parts of Juyeon’s career. ACE FACTORY plans to support his activities with THE BOYZ and help him broaden his work into acting, rather than treating the move as a departure from the musical identity he has already built.

The agency described Juyeon as an artist with strong stage presence and an ability to express emotions with depth. Those qualities formed the center of its explanation for the partnership, linking skills developed through performance to the demands of screen acting.

Group activities remain part of the plan

ACE FACTORY placed unusual emphasis on continuity with THE BOYZ. The company said it respects the group’s musical achievements and views THE BOYZ as both Juyeon’s roots and a central part of his identity as an artist.

That language makes the agency’s intended direction clear: Juyeon’s acting development is meant to operate alongside his group schedule. The company said it would work so that his continued activities with THE BOYZ and his new progress as an actor could produce positive synergy.

The statement also referred to the trust Juyeon has built with fans. By connecting that relationship to his ongoing group work, ACE FACTORY framed the acting expansion as an addition to his career rather than a replacement for the stage activities audiences already know.

No specific drama, film, role, or production timetable was announced with the contract. The immediate public introduction instead centered on the agreement, the company’s support plan, and a set of profile images designed to establish Juyeon’s presentation as an actor.

ACE FACTORY adds Juyeon to an actor-led roster

ACE FACTORY works in both drama production and artist management, giving the company direct experience in the screen industry Juyeon is preparing to enter. Its current roster includes Lee Jong Suk, Lee Jun Hyuk, Yoo Jae Myung, Yoon Se Ah, Lee Kyu Hyung, Jang Seung Jo, Choi Dae Hoon, and Yeom Hye Ran.

The roster spans performers associated with a wide range of television and film work. For Juyeon, joining an agency built around actor management provides a specialized structure for evaluating roles, developing screen experience, and building a professional profile separate from—but compatible with—his group promotions.

The newly released profile photos serve as the first visible part of that process. Profile images are a basic industry tool, but in this context they also signal how ACE FACTORY intends to introduce Juyeon to casting and production circles while his next concrete project remains unannounced.

Stage experience becomes a foundation

Moving from idol performance into acting requires a different production rhythm, but the agency’s statement highlights areas that can carry across both fields. Stage presence, emotional expression, familiarity with cameras, and the discipline of repeated rehearsals can all provide a foundation for developing a screen performance.

ACE FACTORY said it would offer full support so Juyeon’s potential and individual charm could grow in acting. The company’s wording stops short of naming a target genre or role, leaving the direction of his first projects open while setting a clear goal of long-term expansion.

The arrangement also reflects a management model in which one company concentrates on an artist’s individual acting work while group activities continue. Its success will depend on scheduling and project selection, but the announcement establishes both priorities at the outset instead of leaving Juyeon’s status with THE BOYZ uncertain.

For now, the contract and profile photos mark the formal beginning of that dual path. Juyeon remains tied to the group that shaped his career, while ACE FACTORY begins the work of translating his established performance strengths into opportunities in drama and film.
