Career
2020–present: Debut with Enhypen
In June 2020, Yang was introduced as a contestant on I-Land, a survival competition show co-produced by CJ ENM and Hybe Corporation.[1] During the finale on September 18, 2020, he placed first in the audience vote, securing a position in the final seven-member lineup of Enhypen.[1] Following a determination process involving agency staff and group members, Belift Lab officially announced his selection as the band's leader in November 2020.[1] He made his official debut on November 30, 2020, with the release of the extended play Border: Day One.[1]
In February 2022, Yang was appointed as a co-DJ for the Educational Broadcasting System (EBS) FM radio program Listen alongside groupmate Sunoo.
Following a transition in the group's structure in early 2026, Yang acted as the spokesperson for the ensemble's corporate governance updates during public broadcasts, confirming the group's transition to a permanent six-member system.[3][2]
