Ji Chuan (霁川)

As a Chinese actor introduced under the screen name 霁川_JICHUAN, he is building his career as part of a new generation of mainland performers whose first major exposure is shaped by overseas-facing Chinese BL productions. His initial fan recognition stems primarily from his close association with the 2026 globally promoted BL drama The Gaze (当我看向你), where he is positioned as a central cast member and appears connected to the drama’s second romantic thread. Breakthrough Role 霁川’s first major public-facing project is The Gaze, a contemporary Chinese-language BL drama promoted internationally in 2026, with its first four episodes released on May 7, 2026. Within the ensemble cast, 霁川 is most often discussed alongside Búshì Zuǒyòu (不是左右), with Chinese BL update accounts describing them as the drama‘s secondary couple. According to the production’s official wording, the series emphasizes contract romance, mutual movement toward love and emotional heaviness, suggesting a contemporary relationship drama with multiple intertwined couples rather than a single-pair structure. The role gives him a defined entry point into drama acting, not merely as a background performer but as one of the visible names used in the title’s launch campaign. Public Perception Formally welcomed by Astro Media / 星拓MEDIA in early May 2026, 霁川’s public profile remains in its early stages of construction. His announced social handles span Weibo, Douyin, REDNOTE/Xiaohongshu and Instagram, but at the time of his agency introduction, his Weibo account had only just begun posting, with his first visible content reposting the agency welcome message and the account guide. Public details such as birth date, birthplace, education and earlier screen credits are not yet stable enough to add as confirmed facts. Rather than being attached to a long pre-existing drama filmography, he enters the acting space as part of a new wave of mainland Chinese performers whose first wider exposure is shaped by overseas-facing BL and short-form digital promotion. As such, his perception among audiences is still being defined through social platforms, visual promotion and the slow rollout of screen content, making him a performer best understood as an emerging name to watch rather than an established presence.
