In 2023 then, he expressed the desire to re-debut and drew more attention for his various charms after joining Mnet's "Boys Planet." Unfortunately, he was eliminated in the 8th episode and failed to join the debut lineup for ZEROBASEONE.

After signing with PA Entertainment when his contract with TOP Media expired, he then opened his door as a solo artist with a bolder image.
