Dawn released 9 EPs over his 3 years with PENTAGON and 2 EPs with bandmate Hui and labelmate HyunA during his time with Triple H.
Dawn debuted on July 10, 2016, under the name of E’Dawn, with the group, Pentagon under Cube Entertainment as one of the group’s rappers. The group was formed through a variety show called Pentagon Maker. Despite E’Dawn being eliminated from the program, he was added to the group’s final lineup alongside Yan An, and Shinwon.E’Dawn contributed to the group’s debut EP, Pentagon, as a songwriter, writing lyrics for the tracks “Lukewarm” and “Organic Song,” as well as contributing music to the latter. He would continue to write songs and music for the group (including “Runaway” and “Shine”) until his departure.
On April 4, 2017, it was announced that E’Dawn would be debuting in a new group called “Triple H” alongside bandmate Hui and labelmate Hyuna and would be starring in a new show called Triple H Fun Agency. The group made their debut on May 1, 2017, with the EP, 199X. E’Dawn once again contributed songwriter, writing all tracks including the lead single, “365 Fresh”. The album reached #4 on the Gaon Album Chart and #10 on the Billboard World Albums Chart. The group released a follow-up EP, Retro Futurism, in 2018. E’Dawn had contributed to the lyrics and music lead single, “Retro Future,” alongside the other three tracks on the album.
After E’Dawn announced his relationship with Hyuna in August 2018, Cube Entertainment announced E’Dawn would be absent from Pentagon’s EP, Thumbs Up!, though he would still be credited as a songwriter for “Naughty Boy” and “Skateboard.” On September 13, it was announced that Cube had terminated E’Dawn and Hyuna’s contracts, citing loss of trust and good faith between them and the company. Fans were outraged by this news and continued to show incredible love and support towards the couple. The two never stopped keeping in touch with fans, revealing that they decided to announce their relationship because they didn’t or rather couldn’t lie to their fans. E’Dawn’s departure from Cube and Pentagon was officially confirmed on November 14, 2018. He made his solo debut on November 5, 2019, with the digital single “Money.”
