As a Dongyo trainee, Kyoungyoon was already part of group activities before his official debut.[4] He officially debuted on April 24, 2019, as part of the 5-member boy group, Dongkiz.[5] Although the group has no assigned positions, Kyoungyoon has been in charge of the vocals in the group.[6]

During the release of their song Fever, Kyoungyoon was unable to join the group activities due to health problems.[7] However, he later resumed group activities upon the release of their next single All I Need Is You the following year.[8][9]

On December 30, 2021, "2021 (Memories)" was released where Kyoungyoon participated in writing the song. This was part of the group's end-of-the-year project single and would later become the last song of the group before the renaming.[10][11]

On March 18, 2022, Kyoungyoon's label decided to rename their group DKZ and introduce line-up changes to form a 7-member boy group.[12] In May 2022, Kyoungyoon (ranked 92nd) was included in the Top 100 K-Pop Boy Group Personal Brand Reputation Rankings for the said month which was released by the Korea Institute of Corporate Reputation.[13][14] On May 26, 2022, he and Jaechan released an acoustic arrangement of their song "Cupid" (사랑도둑).[15]

Dongyo Entertainment announced on April 19, 2023, that Kyoungyoon would take a leave from group activities for medical reasons.[16] Subsequently, the agency announced on August 8 that Kyoungyoon would depart from the group and enlist in the military.[17]
