After joining A Cube Entertainment in early 2011,[9] Huh released the mini album First Story on 16 September.[10] The album spawned the hit single "Hello," which took the #1 spot on the Gaon Digital Chart (also earning a "triple crown" for topping the component Download, Streaming, and BGM charts)[11] and Billboard's K-pop Hot 100 chart.[12]

On October 8, 2021, Huh Gak left Play M Entertainment after his contract expired.[13] On October 27, 2021, Huh Gak signed with BPM Entertainment.[14]
