On January 12, 2022, South Korean streaming television series Watcha announced that Park Jae-chan would take the lead role in the live series adaptation of BL web novel Semantic Error.[15] The popularity of the series led to a surge in support for DKZ.[16] In April 2022, Jaechan was included in Forbes Korea's 2022 Korea Power Celebrity 40 - Rising Star for the attention he gained for his portrayal in Semantic Error.[17]
