Career

2019–2020: Produce X 101 & debut with X1

In 2019, Dongpyo appeared on the cable channel Mnet's survival program Produce X 101 and gained attention. In particular, he garnered a lot of attention early on after being selected as the center for the first stage. He eventually showed his growth through the show and was able to debut as a member of X1 under Swing Entertainment. He released his first album with the group in August 2019 and began official promotions. However, controversy arose when the fact that the show's production team had manipulated the votes was revealed, and the group decided to disband without any significant activities.[3]

2021–present: Debut with Mirae, group's disbandment and solo activities

On February 24, 2021, DSP Media announced the scheduler for their new boy group's debut EP Killa on Mirae's official social media accounts. Mirae, a group that includes him as a former X1 member and has been a hot topic even before their debut, has started the countdown to their debut.[4] In March 2021, he successfully re-debuted as Mirae member with the first EP Killa.[5]

On July 9, 2024, DSP announced on the global fan community platform Weverse that they decided to disband Mirae's activities where other members leaved the agency due to contract termination and only he remains.[6] On July 30, Dongpyo was confirmed to appear in teen romance drama Social Savvy Class 101 as Mo Bong-gu, taking on the challenge of acting.[7]

On August 7, 2024, he released the digital single 'Wave (2024)' version. It is a remake of a song released by UN in July 2001, reinterpreted in his own style.[8]
