Career[]

2013–2014: I-REX[]

BC first debuted in 2013 under the stage name Ra.E (라이) in the boy group I-REX under Tarzan Entertainment. The group released only one digital single, "Rush To The Top", before disbanding sometime in the following year.

2016: BOYS24[]

Three years later, under his real name, BC appeared as a contestant on the idol survival show, BOYS24 and was a member of their pre-debut boy group of the same name. He was the leader and the member of the Red Unit.

On March 10, 2017, CJ E&M and Liveworks Company announced that BC was to leave his position as part of the first promotional unit but still remain in the group following controversies about his past actions in junior high school. The first promotional unit would move forward as an eight-member group.^[1]^[2]

By fan vote, BC was one of the nine final members of the boy group. However, MMO Entertainment, who managed the debut team, announced that BC had left the team due to a differing musical point of view.^[3]

2017: MIXNINE[]

Just a few months later, BC reappeared as an upcoming contestant on another idol survival show, MIXNINE. He was eliminated in episode 13 with his final rank being 15th place.^[4]

2018–2021: TEAM LWZ and 1TEAM[]

Over a year later, BC was introduced as member of the upcoming boy group 1TEAM (then known as TEAM LWZ) on December 17, 2018.^[5] He officially debuted with the group on March 27, 2019 with their debut mini album, Hello!.^[6]

On March 10, 2021, Liveworks Company announced through 1TEAM's fancafe that the group had ended official activities on March 14 and also terminated their contract with the company as a group, including BC.
