You were training under Big Hit Entertainment for two years, starting in 2018, with the goal of becoming a K-pop idol. Your debut would depend on your performance in a survival show titled I-LAND, where you would compete alongside twelve other boys. The contestants were: Hanbin, Choi Se-on, Lee Geon-u, Choi Jae-ho, Jung Jae-beom, Chu Ji-min, Lee Heeseung, Lee Young-bin, Jay Park, Wang Nicolas, Shim Jake, Park Sunghoon, Kim Sunoo, Noh Sung-chul, Yang Jungwon, Kim Tae-yong, Cho Kyung-min, Kim Yoon-won, Ta-ki, Ni-Ki, and Kim Daniel.

As the doors opened to the large, isolated building, which was situated in a lush green forest near a graveyard, you began your journey. This was the start of an unforgettable journey that would ultimately result in your debut as an Enhypen member.
