In 2022, Jiseong participated in the survival show Wild idol. He placed third, debuting as Sense of the TAN. During TAN’s activities, he was inactive as a member of NTX.

Shortly after TAN’s activities concluded, it was announced that Jiseong would resume his activities with NTX after a period of rest.
Yet, just a few months later, Victory Company announced in an English statement that Jiseong had terminated his contract. The agency said “There have been differences in the direction others want to pursue.” Then, after discussions with both him and his parents, he parted ways with the Victory Company.
Hi, I’m Victory Company.
I am informing you about NTX member Jiseong’s future activities.
We and member Jisung had a break after the official end of TAN activities and discussed returning.
There have been continuous discussions since I returned to Victory Company, but there have been differences in the direction others want to pursue, so after much consideration, I have finished discussing with Jiseong and my parents to respect and support the direction the member Jiseong wants to go.
As a result, member Jiseong has decided to retire from the NTX team on December 11, 2024 and terminate his exclusive contract with Victory Company.
Unfortunately, our relationship with Jiseong ends here, but we will support Jiseong’s musical activities continuing in the future.
Thank you.

Jiseong also shared the news via his personal Instagram account. He reflected on the past few years and his future.
Hi, I’m Jiseong.
From today, December 11, 2024, the exclusive contract with the Victory Company, with which I have been collaborating since I was 15, has expired.
After TAN disbanded, after thinking a lot about our differences and musical direction, we came to this decision.
I hope you will continue to support both me and NTX moving forward.
Finally, I would like to once again express my sincere gratitude to everyone who helped and supported me.
Thank you.—Jiseong
We wish Jiseong good luck in this next chapter of his life!
