He made his debut in 2017 with the single "Fruit". He participated in reality show competitions such as "Breakers" and "Mixnine" without much success. He was then involved in controversy after claiming he was unfairly eliminated in the preliminaries of "Show Me The Money 5" by rapper Mad Clown. He supposedly received a call from the producers allowing him a second chance. He then went to the production room to be re-judged and was selected by Zion T, but the producers found out and decided to reject him. He then auditioned for "Show Me The Money 6" but was also eliminated in the preliminaries and was not included in the broadcast. He is represented by Romantic Factory (로맨틱팩토리).

He enlisted for his mandatory military service on February 17, 2025, and was discharged on August 16, 2026.
