He made his debut in January 2010 as the group's lead dancer, lead vocalist and rapper with their first single album, "Nativity". Originally named Child of Empire, Star Empire Entertainment (스타제국) decided to officially establish it as ZE:A. However, they faced immediate controversy as it was very similar to Brown Eyed Girls member JeA. Both agencies began negotiations and agreed that ZE:A's pronunciation will be changed to avoid any confusion.
Afterwards, they enjoyed a lot of success and signed with Sony Music for promotional activities in 9 countries, mainly in Southeast Asia, where the group became incredibly popular in a short time.
His contract with Star Empire expired in January 2017 and rumors began circulating about a possible disbandment. However, the agency and the members released separate statements indicating that the group was now officially on an indefinite hiatus but was not disbanding.
In mid-2017, he returned to Australia and became the host of "SBS Pop Asia". He has not returned to South Korean TV since then.
