Later in April 2021, he got eliminated at the 2nd elimination round after falling 3 ranks behind the cut-off—35th rank (he ranked 38th). Thereon, for some reason, the show got cancelled in May of 2021. Chen Jun Yu was given the name Jaydon temporarily for joining this show. After which, he's back using his name, Simon.

The group released an EP for their debut which consists of 4 songs and 1 MV. And then, this was followed by a release of his 2nd single, "One in a billion" on January 08, 2022. He also got featured on Xu Xin Wen's music video of "The MVP"(August 2021).
Moreover, Chen Jun Yu has been singing OSTs from dramas as well and by far these are: "Ni" from "Yu Jun Xin Dong Shi" (April 2021); "Yuan Lai", that he sang with Niu Yu Kun from the drama that they both starred, "Better a Lie than a Truth" (January 2022); "No regrets", from the drama "To Our Dreamland of Ice" (February 2022); and the end credits song "Yi Jian Yue Guang" of the drama "Love Behind the Melody" (June 2022), that he sang together with Chen Le Yi.
"Better a Lie than a Truth" which was successfully aired in January 2022 marks Jun Yu's acting debut wherein he portrayed Qiao Mu Sheng—the lead role. His acting career continues as this was followed by his 2nd drama called "Decline"wherein he also portrayed the lead role— Su Cheng Xi. And while the latter is yet to be aired, as we speak, Chen Jun Yu is currently working on his 3rd drama called "Melody on Fingertips" and this time he will be portraying the role of Wu Xu— the second lead role.
