Before debuting, he spent 2 years as a trainee at DSP Media and participated in several singing survival shows such as "MIXNINE" and "Produce 101 Season 2" without much success. In 2017, he was introduced as part of pre-debut group HNB and was one of the 5 trainees selected to debut.
The group's agency, Dreamcatcher Company (드림캐쳐 컴퍼니, previously known as HappyFace Entertainment), set a subsidiary label for the selected members and asked the public to vote for the group's name. After several days, the name D1CE was chosen, and D1CE Entertainment was formally created.
He made his debut in 2019 as the group's leader, lead dancer and vocalist with their first EP "Wake Up: Roll the World." They released a few single albums and digital singles until early-2021 when the group went on an indefinite hiatus.
He enlisted for his mandatory military service on May 6, 2021 and was discharged February 5, 2023. However, all the members contracts expired 2 weeks earlier and the company decided not to renew them, effectively disbanding the group. No information regarding his future plans has been revealed.
