## Career

### 2015-2016: M.A.S 0094 Formation and Debut

Giuk is one of the three founding members, recruiting two additional members to form the five-piece band M.A.S 0094, now known as ONEWE.

Giuk, along with members Harin and Kang Hyun, began to form the band as the three youngest students of their music academy Modern K, when Giuk was in his final year of elementary school in 2012. Giuk then recruited his neighbor Dong Myeong as a vocalist for the band and lastly met and recruited their final member Yong Hoon to be their main vocalist with a cup of coffee at a singer-songwriter competition.

Complete as five members, the band chose the name M.A.S 0094 to mean 'Make A Sound" plus their birth years ranging from Giuk's (2000) through to their eldest Yong Hoon's (1994). Giuk chose the stage name **CyA**, taken from the water nymph of Greek mythology Cyane (meaning 'dark blue' in ancient Greek).

From May of 2015, the band began busking together on the streets of Hongdae, Seoul.

On August 13, 2015, M.A.S 0094 released their first single "Butterfly, Finding Flower", self-written by Giuk, earning him his first KOMCA credit at the age of fifteen.

He made his official debut with M.A.S 0094 on SBS MTV's *The Show* on August 2, 2016.

Giuk is featured in the song "Promise" by Donghyun, which was released on December 12, 2016 as part of *The Miracle OST*.

### 2017-2019: MAS, *The Unit*, and re-debut as ONEWE

On April 1, 2017, Giuk, with M.A.S 0094, signed an exclusive artist contract with RBW Entertainment. The band's name was then officially shortened to MAS.

In October of 2017, Giuk auditioned alongside MAS for the survival show *The Unit*. He was eliminated in the seventh episode, placing 59th.

In June of 2018, his band's name was again changed from MAS to ONEWE.

Giuk made his re-debut with ONEWE on May 13, 2019, with the digital single album "1/4".

### 2023: Solo Debut with *Psycho Xybernetics : TURN OVER*, *Rise Waves*

On March 9, 2023, he announced that he would no longer be going by the stage name **CyA** and would go by his real name, **Giuk**, for all official activities, both solo and with ONEWE.

Giuk made his solo debut on April 20, 2023, with the mini album *Psycho Xybernetics : TURN OVER*. This was preceded by his first solo concert Prologue : TURN OVER on April 8 and 9 and then followed by his encore concert Epilogue : TURN OVER on June 24.
