In November 2020, Joong revealed that he became an Insight Entertainment trainee, confirming his departure from Motive Village and OXQ.

In January 2021, Joong announced that he will not continue with his role as Ming in the upcoming sequel, "2Moons3". The company later confirmed that none of the original actors from the 2Moons series would reprise their roles as main characters.

2021 - 2022: GMMTV, New Beginning

On April 7, the day before the series' premiere, the OST was released, "My Starlight," which was sung by Joong. The series receives a lot of love from fans all over the world. Despite the fact that the series only had eight episodes, the response was positive. Joong and Dunk also were given the opportunity to hold a concert along with Earth, Mix, Pond, and Phuwin at the Feel Fan Fun Camping Concert on October 15. GMMTV also released a lot of merchandise under the JoongDunk brand with their official logo and fandom color. They already established the fandom name, "Dungjang," early on in their partnership and added an exclusive logo and the fandom's color, yellow, along the way. They also held JoongDunk's first fan meeting in Cambodia before the year ended. The tickets for the fan meeting were sold out within 15 minutes of their release. Upon their arrival, the fans waited outside the airport with banners and screamed.

On April 21, the drama "The Mafia Series: Guns and Freaks" aired, in which Joong starred as Beam.

On July 3, Joong continued his role as Khabkluen in "Star and Sky: Sky in Your Heart". Joong also appeared in the Star and Sky Special Episode which aired on July 29, 2022.
