He made his debut in May 2015 (using the stage name Ado) as A6P's vocalist with their first digital single "Face Off". He wore a mask for the majority of the promotional period as the agency, DS Entertainment (DS엔터테인먼트), wanted the group to have a mysterious member. However, they were not successful and disbanded in April 2016 without having released any more music.
He was part of a project group called HNB that was managed by HF Music Company (HF뮤직컴퍼니; now part of Dreamcatcher Company). He did participate in the digital single "I'm Your Light", released in June 2017, and was supposed to debut in later that year, but that never happened as only 5 members ended up becoming D1CE.
He re-debuted in August 2018 in Japan (now using his real name) as MY.ST's vocalist and main dancer with their first mini-album, "Boy N Girl". They debuted in March 2020 with their first Korean EP, "The Glow: Eden".
However, in March 2021, just after releasing the first single album, the members began a legal battle against the agency MYstar Entertainment (마이스타엔터테인먼트). They alleged the company had severe financial problems and most of the staff had not been paid in months. Their training and living conditions were deplorable, and they were told that if they wanted to quit, they should pay all the money MYstar invested in them. The trial was quick, and the members won the decision and were able to terminate their contracts, effectively disbanding MY.ST in July 2021.
He then was part of a project group called MUL that was set to begin activities in Japan in November 2023. However, the group was cancelled in June 2024 without being able to debut.
He is not represented by any agency.
