Yu was born and raised in Hong Kong. He attended the Pun U Association Wah Yan Primary School and the prestigious secondary school, Wah Yan College.[1] Yu was a competitive swimmer, and was a member of Hong Kong's national swimming team.[2] Despite being a frequent competitor in athletic meets, Yu failed to qualify for the Asian Games. This led to his decision to forgo his swimming career.

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 . 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.
