걸어온 길

He started music in middle school and went through a band vocalist role and an a cappella team. He began his solo career in September 2015 with the single 〈바보〉.

He released his first mini album 《About You》 in October 2017. In 2018 he joined Remez Entertainment.

In April 2018, after 〈지나오다〉 climbed to No. 1 on the music charts six months after its release, suspicions of chart manipulation arose. Remez said it was the result of social media promotion, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said it would consider opening public discussion on how music charts are run.

He released 〈벗〉 in August 2019 and the mini album 《About Me》 in June 2020. In June 2026 he held the solo show 《PANORAMA》 in Hongdae, Seoul.
