Later that year, he entered the singing survival show "The Unit" and finished in 8th place, so he was selected to join the project group UNB which debuted in April 2018 and ended activities about a year later, around the same time, IM also disbanded and he looked for a new company to join. He moved to MBK Entertainment and was rumored to be a part of the newly formed group MBK Boys, later renamed BAE173, but it never materialized.
He took a two-year break to analyze his options, and in 2021, he reappeared as a contestant in "Extreme Debut: Wild Idol" hoping to debut in the project group TAN, which sadly, didn't happen as he finished just outside of the Top-7.
