Beyond music, Henry made his Hollywood debut in 2019 with A Dog’s Journey and starred in the 2020 action-fantasy film Double World, which marked a milestone as the first Chinese-produced movie to receive a simultaneous global release through Netflix and iQIYI. On television, his variety show appearances on Real Man and I Live Alone earned him major recognition, including the Best Newcomer Award in 2014 and the Excellence Male Award in 2017 at the MBC Entertainment Awards. Henry is also an entrepreneur and artist. In 2018, he opened the Taiwanese restaurant Xiao Zhan in Seoul, later expanding with a second branch. His artwork was showcased in 2021 at the START Art Fair at London’s Saatchi Gallery in a special exhibit highlighting K-pop’s cultural influence.
