Before debuting, he spent a few years as a model and then began getting interested in a music career. He made his debut in December 2018 as the group's rapper with the title track "Lonely Night" which is part of their 3rd single album. The group had debuted in 2016 with a debut showcase and the release of their 1st single, "Knock" and he joined after being a trainee at FNC Entertainment. He was friends with all the members and they asked the company to add him to the group. A few months before that, it was announced that KNK and YNB Entertainment ended their contract and that the members were planning on continuing the group with another agency. In early 2019, they signed with 220 Entertainment and had several tours in the US and in Europe. In 2020, they released their 3rd EP "KNK Airline" and afterwards, lineup changes and mandatory military enlistments have caused the group to nearly stop promoting for the time being. He debuted as an actor with a minor role in "Dali and the Cocky Prince" in 2021 and earned his first lead role in the BL webdrama "Happy Merry Ending" in 2023.
