Jeup debuted as the main vocalist of five-member boy group Imfact (Korean : 임팩트) under the now defunct Star Empire Entertainment on January 27, 2016. [1]

In March 2017, Jeup made a guest appearance as a mystery singer on the first episode of the fourth season of I Can See Your Voice . [2]

Starting from late 2017 and continuing into early 2018, Jeup appeared as a contestant on KBS' survival reality show, Idol Rebooting Project: The Unit , with Imfact group members Taeho, Ungjae, and Jian. [3] [4] Jeup was eliminated in the fifteenth episode, placing eleventh in the competition.

2022–2023: Departure from Star Empire Entertainment, solo debut with KH Company, and Sing Again 3

Star Empire made an announcement on January 4, 2022, stating that the members of Imfact, including Jeup, collectively settled upon the decision to not renew their contracts with the company.

In late 2023, Jeup appeared as a contestant in the third season of JTBC's reality television show Sing Again. He was eliminated in the fourth episode, having passed the first round but not the second. [10]
