JR debuted as a member of NU'EST on March 15, 2012 with their first single "Face". In 2017, him, and fellow members Minhyun, Baekho and Ren participated in Mnet's survival reality show Produce 101 Season 2, which he finished in 14th place. Minhyun was the only member that made to the final 11 to promote with the project group Wanna One, while the other members formed the four-member subgroup NU'EST W (the W in the name means the group is waiting for him to return), as they released three mini albums between 2017 and 2018.
On February 28, 2022, Pledis Entertainment announced that the NU'EST members' contracts would expire on March 14 and JR decided not to renew with the company. On May 16, Evermore Entertainment revealed that JR had signed an exclusive contract with them so he could focus on his promotions as a solo artist and actor under his full name Kim Jong Hyeon. On September 28, the agency confirmed that he will release his solo debut mini album sometime in November.
On October 11, a teaser was released for his debut mini album, Meridiem, set to be released on November 8. On December 14, 2023, a first teaser was posted on Kim Jong Hyeon's social media accounts announcing his first-ever comeback with his second mini album Brilliant Seasons, which would be released on January 3, 2024.
