On June 1, 2020, Daniel was introduced as a participant in the CJ ENM and Big Hit Entertainment's then upcoming survival show I-LAND. On the first episode, he performed "Any Song" by Zico, along with EJ, and was able to enter "I-LAND". Because of an average score of 59, half of the I-LANDER team had to be sent to "Ground" in the third episode.
Daniel was the second one to be sent as he received 11 votes. On the seventh episode, he ranked second based on the global votes and was able to move onto Part 2 and become one of the final 12 but did not make it into the final group. On March 20, 2025, NAISU Agency posted an introduction film for Daniel, now going with the stage name Kyu.
A few days later, on March 23, it was announced that he would be debuting as a soloist with the digital single "Tempo", set to be released on March 26. On February 27, 2026, Kyu made his first comeback with the digital single "Unknown".
