History

2018: Predebut

The members of Dongkiz—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 and attended the 2018 JOOX Thailand Music Awards.[5]

On November 21, 2018, the group released a Minneapolis sound-based pre-debut single entitled "Nom".[6]

2019–2021: Career beginnings

The group as DONGKIZ in August 2019.

Originally slated for a February 2019 debut, Dongkiz released their debut single album Dongkiz on the Block on April 24.[7][8] They intended to promote a different song, but ultimately decided on "Nom" to serve as the lead single.[9] On July 22, the group released their second single album BlockBuster. The title track samples the theme song of the 1984 film Ghostbusters.[10] Dedicated to their fans, they released the dance-pop track "Dreaming You" as a digital single on September 11.[11] 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.[12] Dongkiz released their first mini-album Dongky Town and accompanying disco-EDM single "Fever" on November 6.[13] They went on to win the "Focus Award (Music)" at the 2019 Asia Artist Awards held at Mỹ Đình National Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam.[14] The group was also invited to perform by the Korean Cultural Center in Turkey on December that year.[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] Dongkiz's third single album Ego was released on August 19, 2020.[18] On December 30, the group released "It's All Right" on their official social networking sites. The song was their first year-end project song which was written, composed, and arranged by all five members of the group.[19]

Dongkiz's fourth single album Youniverse was released on April 15, 2021.[20] It was then followed by the release of their fifth single album Chase Episode 1. Ggum with "Crazy Night" as its single on July 1.[21] In August that year, Dongkiz was again invited for a K-pop concert in Ankara, Turkey hosted by the Korean Cultural Center,[22] and Dongyo Entertainment announced that Wondae and Munik will be taking hiatus from group activities.[23] On December 30, 2021, Kyoungyoon, Jaechan, and Jonghyeong released their second year-end project song, "2021 (Memories)".[24]

2022: Rebranding and rising popularity

DKZ in April 2022.

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 medical 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 with "Cupid" as its single on April 12.[25] 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.[26]

The group attended and performed at the K-Expo 2022 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Hosted by the Korean Cultural Center in Brazil, DKZ was the only K-pop idol group invited to perform at the country's largest Hallyu cultural festival held on July 9 and 10.[27]

On September 2, they were recognized and given the "Male Idol - Rising Star Award" in the 2022 Brand of the Year Awards organized by the Korea Consumer Forum.[28]

On October 6, the group released their seventh single album and the last one for their Chase Album Trilogy - Chase Episode 3. Beum with "Uh-Heung" as its single.[29] While they were promoting for their comeback, DKZ performed in the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan, on October 15 for KCON 2022 as the first gen winner of MNET Plus' Road to Max: Road to KCON.[30] On October 18, DKZ gained their first music show award during promotions for "Uh-Heung" on the SBS M's The Show.[31]

In November, DKZ performed at the 2022 Genie Music Awards and was chosen to be the recipient of the "Next Generation Award".[32][33] Prior to that, the group was announced as the honorary winner of the final episode of MNET Plus' Road to Max: Road to MAMA Awards.[34] As its winning prize, on November 29, the group attended and performed at the 2022 MAMA Awards held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan.[35]

Before the year 2022 ended, the group released their self-produced digital album, DKZ Year End Project Song 'It's All Right Part.3' with their single "2022 (Forever)" on December 30.[36]

2023: First fan-con and members' departure

On February 28, Dongyo Entertainment announced the departure of Munik from the group.[38] In addition, on April 19, it was announced that Kyoungyoon would temporarily suspend his activities with the group for medical issues.[39] On August 7, the agency announced the departure of Kyoungyoon from the group and his military enlistment.[40]

Timeline

Sub-units

Dongkiz I:Kan

On July 7, 2020, members Munik and Jaechan formed the group's first sub-unit called Dongkiz I:Kan (Korean: 동키즈 아이캔; or simply I:Kan, stylized in all caps). They debuted upon the release of a new jack swing single "Y.O.U".[51] On February 28, 2023, Munik departed the group, thus the disbandment of the duo sub-unit.[38]

Nine to Six

On May 18, 2023, Dongyo Entertainment announced the creation of a sub-unit called Nine to Six (Korean: 나인투식스), which name derives from the members' role in the TvN drama, The Heavenly Idol.[52] The unit consists of two members, Jonghyeong and Mingyu.[53] The duo officially debuted and released their first single album Good To You on May 31, which contains a total of three songs including "Don't Call Me", "Nod" and "Digital Love".[54][55]

Ambassadorship and philanthropy

Since November 5, 2019, the group has been appointed as the PR ambassador for the "S.A.V.E. Campaign" jointly launched by the Bestian Foundation and the Fire Department of South Korea.[57] DKZ has been continuously promoting the campaign to improve the welfare of firefighters in the Republic of Korea and support the treatment and recovery of low-income burn patients.[58]
