The groups first single, "In Your Hands," was released on December 14, 2006. Their popularity quickly rose and they were dubbed as the teenage SG Wannabe. After the release of T-Express in April 2008, Kevin withdrew from the group.
Kevin redebuted in the six-member group U-KISS. They debuted on August 15, 2008 in Japan at the Power of Atamix. The group released their first mini album, N-Generation, on September 3, 2008.
In December 2009, Kevin and Alexander, a fellow U-KISS member, released the single "Finally". The song was composed by Brave Brothers.
On October 12, 2011, it was revealed that Kevin and Eli of U-KISS would collaborate with Avex artist JAMOSA for her single "Together".
