Yu's first gig with TVB was being a presenter for TVB Sports News. In 2015, Yu was offered a spot to host the children's program series Kids, Think Big. In 2016, he crossed over to TVB's drama department, and was trained by Anthony Wong.[1] He earned minor speak roles in Blue Veins (2016) and Two Steps from Heaven (2016). Yu rose to popularity after portraying "Ocean" in the 2017 television drama My Ages Apart.[3]
On 8 August 2018, Yu passed out during a football match in Sai Ying Pun. He was brought to Queen Mary Hospital and was in intensive care. On 11 August 2018, Yu finally regained consciousness and was understood that a defibrillator was used to save his life.
