Yong Jun Hyung, also known as Joker, is a South Korean singer-songwriter, rapper, actor, dancer, record producer, and a member of the Korean boy group HIGHLIGHT. He debuted in 2009 as a member of the Korean boy group Beast. He changed his birth name Yong Jae Soon to his current name when he was in 6th grade.

He was once a member of the boyband Xing along with Kevin from U-KISS and was known as Poppin’ Dragon when he was promoting with them.

In 2016, Beast members left their old label Cube Entertainment and formed Around Us Entertainment. Since then, the group promotes under their new name "Highlight".

Yong enlisted in the military as an active soldier on April 2, 2019, at the recruit training center of the 23rd Infantry Division. During training, he had to have surgery due to a meniscus injury in his left knee.
