Early life

Before debuting as an idol, he had been training as an athlete and even formed a band where he was active as a guitarist and vocalist.

Career

2019–2021: Dongkiz

As a Dongyo trainee, Kyoungyoon was already part of group activities before his official debut. Kyoungyoon officially debuted on April 24, 2019, as part of the 5-member boy group, Dongkiz. Although the group has no assigned positions, he has been in charge of the vocals in the group.

During the release of their song ''Fever'', Kyoungyoon was unable to join the group activities due to health problems. However, he later resumed group activities upon the release of their next single ''All I Need Is You'' the following year.

In June 2021, Kyoungyoon was cast in the EBS internationally co-produced series '' Beasts of Asia'', his first main role on television. He was joined by his co-member Munik as part of its main cast.

On December 30, 2021, "2021 (Memories)" was released where Kyoungyoon participated in writing the song. This was part of the group's end-of-the-year project single and would later become the last song of the group before the renaming.

2022–present: DKZ

On March 18, 2022, Kyoungyoon's label decided to rename their group DKZ and introduce line-up changes to form a 7-member boy group. In May 2022, Kyoungyoon (ranked 92nd) was included in the Top 100 K-Pop Boy Group Personal Brand Reputation Rankings for the said month which was released by the ''Korea Institute of Corporate Reputation''. On May 26, 2022, he and Jaechan released an acoustic arrangement of their song "Cupid" (사랑도둑).
