Yan An gains popularity following role in historical drama ‘Jia Jin Chai’

Chinese actor Yan An has seen a significant rise in popularity following his lead role as Lu Zhu in the historical drama ‘Jia Jin Chai’. Formerly a member of the boy group PENTAGON under Cube Entertainment, Yan An transitioned to acting in mainland China after his group contract expired in 2023.

Reports indicate that securing the role required extensive effort, as the casting process lasted seven months and Yan An auditioned seven times. To prepare for the character, he practiced martial arts, refined his posture, and studied his lines. His disciplined approach extends to his physical fitness; he reportedly maintains a strict workout regimen even after filming late into the night.
