Besides, some of his earnings are from his musical tours and live streamings around mainland China and other countries with his Got7 band members.
But ever since leaving JYP Entertainment along with other Got7 members in January 2021, he is operating his international activities. Recently, he made his U.S. late-night T.V. debut with his latest single, ‘LMLY,’ performing it live on CBS’ show, The Late Late Show with James Corden.
