Early life and education
Sung was born on June 13, 2001, in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province. He has a sister four years younger than him. With a background in street dance, Sung specializes in waacking and tutting, which he began participating in competitions for during high school.[2][3] Prior to joining Studio GL1DE, Sung trained at Cube Entertainment. There, he developed a close friendship with fellow trainee Seok Matthew, who later competed alongside him on Boys Planet and debuted with Zerobaseone.[4] During this period, he also worked at his mother's café and obtained a barista license.[5]
Sung began his career as a backup dancer while still in high school. In 2018, he performed as part of a dance crew with Wanna One for their song "Boomerang" at the SBS Gayo Daejeon. The following year, he took the stage again as a backup dancer for BTS during their performance of "Dionysus" at the 2019 Mnet Asian Music Awards.[6]
Sung graduated from Dong-ah Institute of Media and Arts on January 3, 2024.[7]

On December 29, 2022, Sung was revealed as a contestant on Mnet's reality competition show Boys Planet,[8] where he also served as the center for K-Group in the performance of the show's theme song, "Here I Am". The program aired from February 2 to April 20, 2023.[9] As a representative of both Studio GL1DE and THE L1VE,[10] Sung showcased a solo vocal and dance performance of ONF's "Beautiful Beautiful" for his initial evaluation.[4]

Due to his distinctive background and extensive experience in tutting, Sung is widely referred to as "K-pop's First Tutting Idol."[16][17] His prominence in this dance style has been credited with contributing to the growing incorporation of tutting in K-pop choreography.[18] In July 2024, he was selected as "Artist of the Month" by Mnet's Studio Choom, a series that highlights performers recognized for their exceptional dance skills. As part of the feature, Sung released a dance performance emphasizing his tutting technique, accompanied by an original song titled "Bad Boy."[19]
Since 2024, Sung has actively hosted a variety of events, including award shows, music festivals, and survival programs. He served as MC for individual days at both 2024 KCON Japan and KCON Hong Kong.

On March 26, 2025, Sung was also announced as the new host of Mnet's female dance crew competition show World of Street Woman Fighter.[21] In addition to hosting, he recorded the show's opening theme song, titled "Champion."[22]
On September 2, 2025, it was announced that after one year and eight months Sung would step down from his position on M Countdown along with co-host Myung Jae-hyun.[23] His final broadcast was on September 4, during which Sung and Myung performed Lee Mujin's "청춘만화 (Coming of Age Story)" as their departing stage.[24]
2026–present: Continued activities and solo endeavors
In 2026, Zerobaseone entered a new phase of activities following the conclusion of its initial project period. After discussions between the members and their respective agencies, the group was reorganized as a five-member unit, with four members concluding their participation and pursuing separate activities.[25] Alongside his continued activities with the group, Sung's individual activities came to be managed under THE L1VE, which confirmed that he would promote concurrently as a member of Zerobaseone and through individual endeavors.[26]
On February 20, 2026, Sung was announced as the first global ambassador for KCON. In this role, he represents the festival across its global events and promotional initiatives.[27]
