On March 25, 2014, Rion Five made their debut with the digital single "Rion Five". The lineup consisted of Rohyoon, Minjae, Taewoo, Yousung and Kangsan. On February 2, 2015, the group made their first comeback with the digital single "Tuk Tuk Tuk" and the addition of new member Jeonghyeon.
On February 18, 2016, they returned with their third digital single "My Way". On August 8, they released the collaboration single "Summer Time", a remake of Cool's 1997 hit song of the same name, with their labelmate Cupid. On December 16, they released their first special single "Miracle of Christmas", in celebration of Christmas.
In April 2017, Taewoo appeared as a contestant on Mnet's survival show Produce 101 Season 2. However, he did not pass the second elimination round and was later eliminated at #49 place. In October, the members auditioned for YG's competition show MIXNINE, but ultimately did not get picked.
On March 28, Narda Entertainment released a statement announcing that Kangsan would no longer be able to promote with Rion Five due to personal reasons. On May 16, T. E.
N made their debut with their sole single album"Haeyo Haeyo". On August 24, Rohyoon announced that he would be leaving the group. Shortly after this, Taewoo and Minjae also announced their departure on September 12.
In October, it was reported that remaining members, Jeonghyeon (under the stage name Gunwoo) and Yousung, would be re-debuted as members of Victory, alongside T. E. N's Yonghun and trainees Jeonggyu, Jiwoon.
On June 8, 2019, the group returned and performed at EVOLT International Dance Fest with the supposed lineup for Victory. On September 7, Rion Five performed at SIPA 2019 and appeared to have underwent another lineup change, now consisting of Yousung, Yonghun and three new members: Jungwon, Youngjik and former VARSITY member Minsung. In January 2020, they opened auditions to find new members for the group.
In 2021, the group appeared as three with Yousung, Yonghun and former member Jeonghyeon. Meanwhile, the other members were revealed to have left to finish their mandatory military service. On October 27, it was reported that they had joined Souls Entertainment, as Narda Entertainment had been acquired by the agency, and would be returning with a new album.
With this, they held audition to recruit two new members for the group. However, plans presumably fell through and the group disbanded silently.
