History



2018: Predebut


The members of DKZ—Wondae, Kyoungyoon, Munik, Jaechan, and Jonghyeong—were trainees between one and three years.[1][2] The group was modeled after New Kids on the Block.[2] Dongkiz initiated promotional activities in August 2018, which included uploading dance covers onto Dongyo Entertainment's YouTube channel and busking.[3][4] They also performed at the HEC Korea Concert in Thailand.[5] Dongkiz released a Minneapolis sound-based pre-debut single entitled "Nom" on November 21, 2018.[6] Soon thereafter, they performed at the Charity Concert for Palu, Sigi, and Donggala; its proceeds were donated to victims of Indonesia's 2018 Sulawesi earthquake and tsunami.[7]


2019-2021: Career beginnings

Originally slated for a February 2019 debut, Dongkiz released their debut single album Dongkiz on the Block on April 24.[8][9] They intended to promote a different song, but ultimately decided on "Nom" to serve as the lead single.[10] On July 22, DKZ released their second single album BlockBuster. The title track samples the theme song of the 1984 film Ghostbusters.[11] Dedicated to their fans, DKZ released the dance-pop track "Dreaming You" as a digital single on September 11.[12]

After sustaining a leg injury in midst of practice, in addition to ongoing trauma from a back injury endured prior to his debut, Kyoungyoon paused his activities to recuperate and the group continued promoting as four.[13] DKZ released their first mini-album Dongky Town and accompanying disco-EDM single "Fever" on November 6.[14] They went on to win the Focus Award at the 2019 Asia Artist Awards.[15] On January 2, 2020, Dongkiz followed up with the funk single "All I Need Is You", marking Kyoungyoon's return to the group.[16] The group released the old-school hip hop-dance single "Lupin" on March 15.[17] Jaechan and Munik formed the sub-unit Dongkiz I:Kan and they released the new jack swing single "Y.O.U" on July 7, 2020.[18] Dongkiz's third single album Ego was released on August 19, 2020.[19] Dongkiz's fourth single album Youniverse was released on April 15, 2021.[20] Dongkiz's fifth single album Chase Episode 1. Ggum was released on July 1, 2021.[21]


2022: Lineup changes

On March 18, Dongyo Entertainment announced Wondae's departure from the group due to ongoing health issues while Munik will remain with the group but stay on indefinite hiatus due to psychological issues. The agency also revealed its plans to rebrand Dongkiz by changing its name to DKZ and adding three new members to its lineup. On March 28, Sehyeon, Mingyu, and Giseok were introduced as new members of the group. The group released their sixth single album Chase Episode 2. Maum on April 12.[22] A limited-edition acoustic version of the same album was released on May 26, which was sold out minutes after the server was restored when it initially crashed during release.[23]
