Following his idol’s footstep, Shownu joined JYP Entertainment in 2009. But the man from Changdong eventually left the company after seeing no future for him there.

For quite some times, Shownu worked as backup dancer for singer Lee Hyori. He appeared in several of her music videos like Going Crazy and Bad Girls.

In December 2014, this talented dancer took part in survival reality show No Mercy. He had to compete with 13 other trainees to earn his debut.

At the end of the show, Shownu was the second to be announced as member of new group Monsta X. He was also selected as their leader.

With the group, this K-pop star made his debut in May 2015. They released an EP titled Trespass. It peaked at number 5 on Gaon Album Chart.

Outside of MonstaX, Shownu also has had several solo projects.

He teamed up with fellow member Minhyuk for a soundtrack for the show She’s My Type. The song titled Have a Goodnight was released in August 2020.
