He made his debut in December 2006 as part of XING (under the stage name Marumir) with their first single, "In My Hands". The group was managed by XING Entertainment but it faced several lineup changes right from the start and was not very successful domestically. He decided to leave in 2007 when the company was preparing for the 2nd lineup change.
He then re-debuted in August 2008 (under his real name) as U-KISS's vocalist with their first mini-album, "New Generation". They were originally managed by Global H Media (글로벌에이치미디어, formerly known as NH Media).
In 2009, they had their breakthrough when the single "Man Man Ha Ni" from their EP "ContiUKiss" became popular in Southeast Asia.
However, in February 2011, news broke out that he and fellow member Alexander had left the group. NH Media released a statement saying that he had left due to personal reasons. Later reports showed that the agency believed he was lacking as an idol and just wanted to replace him.
He decided to leave the entertainment industry and enlisted for his mandatory military service in 2015. After being discharged, he became the owner/chef of a restaurant called "Mystic Majestic" in 2017.
He founded his own agency, SKDB, and represents his brother.
