Pre-Debut

P.O attended Hanlim Multi Art School.[2] It was reported that P.O was not chosen as a Block B member because he failed his first Block B audition. A year later, P.O auditioned once more after more training and losing 10 kg, which led him to Block B's final line-up.[3]

2011–2012: Debut with Block B and hospitalization

P.O debuted with Block B in April 2011. In February 2012, the band received heavy criticism for their disrespectful behavior during an interview in Thailand, particularly jokes regarding about the previous year's flooding disaster.[4] P.O reportedly fainted and was hospitalized for shock on February 24, after learning of a petition calling for the members to apologize by committing suicide. Later investigations suggested that the petition was a rumor and likely did not exist.[5]

To show his gratitude to BBC (Block B Club), Block B's official fanbase, P.O released a song written especially for them. "Dear My Wife" was released into his cyworld on September 25, featuring Winner's Mino.[6]

Along with fellow Block B member, Zico, they both were chosen as MCs for SBS MTV's The Show.[7] During a November 2012 episode of Weekly Idol, P.O stated that he came from a wealthy family background, explaining that his father runs a duty-free store.[8]

2013–2014: Mixtape and collaborations

On March 9, P.O released the first song "Amino Acid" from his Mixtape Bigboi is Ready 2 Showtime, featuring Winner's Mino.[9] He continued releasing songs each day until March 21.[10] Rookie girl group Delight featured P.O in their song "Mega-Yak".[11] In September 2013, P.O starred in Kye Bum-zu's "Something Special" music video alongside Hello Venus's Yoon-jo.

In 2014, P.O was featured in the digital single "It's not a Big Deal" by V.O.S's Kim Kyung Rok, released January 6.[12] P.O also co-wrote the lyrics for the title track of the SBS drama Secret Door, which was performed by Block B and released September 22.[13]

2015

On April 5, it was announced that P.O would participate in Block B's first sub-unit, BASTARZ, along with members U-Kwon and B-Bomb.[14][15] The sub-unit's album was released April 13, along with a video for the title track, "Conduct Zero,"[16] and it debuted at #3 on the Gaon album chart.[17]

P.O was significantly involved with the creation of the BASTARZ album, receiving a lyrics credit for "Conduct Zero," sole lyrics credit and a composition credit for "Charlie Chaplin," a lyrics credit for "Thief," and a lyrics and composition credit for "Sue Me," which he performed along with the rapper Incredible.[18]

On May 23, P.O appeared with fellow Block B member Taeil on the KBS show Immortal Songs 2, where they performed a remake of the song "I Don't Know Why" by Kim Soo-chul.[19] P.O featured in Kye Bum Zu's "Give It 2 U," which was released in late July.[20]

BASTARZ released a Japanese version of "Conduct Zero" in October; the CD single containing the song reached #20 on the Oricon weekly chart.[21]

2016

In February, P.O appeared in the theatrical play Superman.com, which he also helped write and produce as part of a new theatrical troupe, Extreme Boys (극단 소년).[22][23]
