He’s gained a lot of endorsements, partnerships, and collaborations along with BtoB, while other projects have also contributed to his wealth.
Early Life, Education, and Career Beginnings
Lee grew up in Suwon, and at a young age became highly interested in music, wanting to pursue a career in the industry. After matriculating from high school, he enrolled at Howon University which is known for being one of the most selective universities in the country. Many of its students go on to have assured jobs as graduates.
It was during this period that he met future bandmate Lim Hyunsik. At the time, he was already gaining a bit of attention for his music, as he won a competition at the 16th Suwon Music Festival. He was also active in his community, serving as vice-president of the Red Cross Youth of Gyeonggi Province.
While studying, he was recruited by Cube Entertainment to train to become a future idol with BtoB. In 2012, they made their debut in Seoul and streamed it through an official YouTube channel. They then released their debut extended play (EP) called “Born to Beat”, which was primarily composed by the group members.
Success with BtoB
BtoB have made several releases since their debut. In 2014, they released their fourth EP called “Beep Beep”, which became their breakthrough in the music industry, reaching the top of the Gaon Album Chart, making it their first to do so. They then went on tour, before creating their next EP called “Move”. This popularity boost led them to their first solo concert, and they also signed with the Japan agency Kiss Entertainment for all their activities in Japan, and began holding events in the country.
The following year, they released their first full-length album “Complete”, and the title track “It’s Okay” reached the top of several music charts in the country. They then worked on their seventh EP, “I Mean” and by the years’ end, they got multiple nominations during the Seoul Music Awards and the Golden Disc Awards. Over the next few years, the group continued to make music and hold events. They’ve done six solo concerts as well as tours, and recently celebrated their seventh anniversary.

Personal Life
