In 2013, the duo competed in the first season of Chinese reality TV show called I Am a Singer (renamed Singer since 2017); the duo won the competition, and the series saw a profound success. They tried to use their way to recall Chinese music among the young generation, and encourage Chinese young musicians to remember and rebuild Chinese music culture. They were previously appeared in the show Let's Sing Kids. As of 2020 season of Singer, they remained as the only group winners (and contestants doubled with hosting roles) to win, as winners from succeeding seasons were both soloists and singers not doubling roles as hosts.

They were mentors in the original composition show Sing My Song (2014–2015). During fall 2016, they were judges for music show Sound of My Dream. The show ran from November 2016 to January 2017. Before the show ended, Yu Quan held their seventh consecutive Christmas concert Tree New Bee (Chinese: 树新峰).
