Like the other seven members of Ateez, Mingi was first introduced as a member of "KQ Fellaz," a pre-debut team of KQ trainees. They appeared in a dance cover video of rapper Famous Dex's song "Pick It Up." In 2018, a reality show titled Code Name is ATEEZ was produced to follow the group's activities leading up to debut.

Personal life On November 15, 2020, Mingi's agency announced that he would be taking a hiatus from the group due to psychological anxiety problems. This led the group to produce several music videos without Mingi present, although he still assisted in the recording of their mini album Zero: Fever Part.2 and song "The Real" during this time. On July 18, 2021, after eight months of recovery, KQ Entertainment announced that Mingi would be resuming activity with Ateez.

Other ventures Mingi has been noted for his personal style. In June 2026 he unveiled a capsule collection with German luxury fashion brand MCM: MCM x Ateez with Mingi – Fix On.

As part of the promotion of this collaboration, Mingi appeared at the MCM Singapore pop-up on June 5, 2026. Also in June, Mingi attended the first men's creator presentation by Christian Louboutin at Paris Fashion Week, featuring Jaden Smith for the SS27 collection.
