He made his debut in August 2013 when he joined as AA's new vocalist, dancer and maknae with their fourth single, "OK About It". The group debuted in November 2011, but the agency, Well Made Star M, had no prior experience with a music group as they only managed actors. They established a subsidiary label called Blue Star Entertainment to handle AA but had many mistakes along the way with songs being banned by major TV stations and not being able to promote due to missed opportunities. In addition, the group faced lineup changes and prolonged hiatus.
In 2014, Well Made Star M was bought by Yedang Company and became Wellmade Yedang (later known as Imagine Asia), causing the group to spend one more year without any activities. So, in March 2015, he announced his departure from the group.
He re-debuted in April 2015 as 24K's new lead vocalist, lead dancer and visual with the release of the single "Hey You" but did so with his face covered by a mask. The single was included in their EP "Super Fly", which was released 6 months later when his face was finally revealed.
The group, managed by Choeun Entertainment (조은엔터테인먼트), was never able to find a steady fanbase and opportunities to promote, often spending several years on hiatus before releasing new material. Plus, the agency began making constant lineup changes starting in 2014, and they wanted him to focus on international activities, which also never materialized.
In June 2019, his contract expired, and he decided to leave the group and the agency. He then retired from the entertainment industry.
