U-KISS was first formed as a six-member boy-group in 2008. Kibum and Kevin were members of the boy band XING, but left the group in early 2007. The other four members were all individually selected by NH Media through auditions. U-KISS debuted in Japan on August 15, 2008, at the Power of Atamix 08. The group debuted in South Korea on August 28, 2008, with a release of their first mini-album, New Generation, (N-Generation) on September 3, 2008 and a live performance of their first song Not Young on Mnet.

In the caption, he wrote, “For a moment, goodbye.” Kiseop was declared to serve as a public service worker, due to the worsening condition of his pre-existing herniated disk. He will enlist and receive basic military training at the Nonsan Army Training Center, after which he will be assigned to a position as a public service worker.
