Jiseong’s journey with TAN began after he was selected through the survival program Wild Idol. Debuting with TAN on March 10, 2022, he actively promoted with the group for two years. TAN’s promotion period ended after two years, amidst internal issues at Think Entertainment, the agency managing TAN. The CEO and several staff were involved in a scandal, impacting the agency’s image and leading to the non-renewal of contracts for TAN members.
Despite these challenges, Jiseong’s time with TAN showcased his talent and dedication. His participation in Wild Idol and subsequent debut with TAN were significant milestones in his career.
