Seongbin is a member of the six-piece Korean group 82MAJOR, which also includes Yechan, Seongil, Seokjoon, Dogyun, and Seongmo. The group debuted in 2023 and is known as "self-produced idols" who take part in writing and shaping their own music. Seongbin describes learning from many kinds of music and from conversations with the people around him, and he says the group votes together on which songs to develop. He has spoken about how much he has learned about himself from fans, producers, and his fellow members since debut. The group's fourth mini-album "Trophy" passed 100,000 copies in five days, and a follow-up release called "FEELM" followed.
