Since its 2012 debut, the members of 24K have branched into diverse paths across the global music industry and beyond. While the current quartet drives the group’s new 24K+ era, many former members have evolved into successful independent producers, hip-hop artists, and entrepreneurs. This guide tracks where each member stands today, from active idols to solo pioneers and those starting new chapters.
Current 24K+ Members (The Active Quartet)
1. Kiyong
Since joining in 2018, Kiyong has become the longest-standing member of the group and serves as the bridge between the original 24K and the current rebranded 24K+. Following the departure of leader Xiwoo in January 2026, Kiyong’s role has expanded significantly as he now anchors the group’s four-member lineup (alongside Imchan, Yuma, and Takeru) while continuing his position as a core sub-vocalist
2. Imchan
Since joining in 2019, Imchan has evolved into 24K+’s primary musical director and main vocalist, serving as the creative architect for their 2023 rebranding. He took full control of the group’s sonic identity by producing and writing the majority of the Roller Coaster mini-album, including the title track. Currently, he is focused on developing the group’s “Season 2” sound, balancing his role as a self-producing idol with his responsibilities as their technical powerhouse singer.
3. Yuma
Introduced in 2022, Yuma was strategically added to anchor the group’s expansion into the Japanese market. He serves as a sub-vocalist and performance lead, specializing in localizing content for international fans. In 2026, he continues to grow as the primary driver for the group’s high-frequency promotional cycles in Tokyo and Osaka.
4. Takeru
Takeru joined alongside Yuma in 2022 and currently serves as the group’s maknae and sub-rapper. He gained significant experience during the group’s stint on the survival show Peak Time, which helped him build a dedicated individual following. In 2026, he is known for his high-energy performances and variety show appearances representing the new 24K+.
Past Members (Still Active in Entertainment)
5. Daeil (BIGONE)
Now performing under the name BIGONE, has established himself as a versatile solo artist in the Korean hip-hop and R&B scene. He founded his own independent label, The Dial Music, in 2022. He transitioned from his idol roots to a diverse sound that blends rap, pop-punk, and R&B, highlighted by projects like the album “BIGONEISTHENAME” and his 2024 EP “LOVE OR DIE.” Additionally, he remains a key member of the MBA (Most Badass Asian) crew and continues to collaborate with major industry figures such as Ash Island and JAY B.
6. Cory (Corbyn)
Since leaving the group in 2019, Cory rebranded to Corbyn Corbyn and transitioned to an independent R&B artist and executive producer under his own label, 28 LABORATORY. He has since then released several moody, experimental projects including the albums ‘NEW RAGE’ (2026) and the “Chronicles” series. In addition to his solo music, he continues to work behind the scenes as a composer and producer for other artists.
7. Kisu
Kisu has maintained a consistent career as a solo ballad artist, specializing in emotional OST-style music and live fan events. He is particularly active in Japan and Southeast Asia. Since leaving 24K+, Kisu has released over 9 singles, including About You (2024), Face & Pace (2025), Feuerwerk (2026), and Numbers. He is set to perform in Germany on 29th August, 2026.
8. Xiwoo
Since leaving 24K+ in January 2026, Xiwoo has focused on his legal independence and building a solo identity as an independent artist. He remains musically active by frequently uploading song covers and original tracks to his personal SoundCloud page. Additionally, he stays connected with his fanbase through personal Instagram updates and private one-on-one fan events.
9. Changsun
After leaving 24K+, Changsun successfully competed on the survival show Wild Idol, placing 1st and debuting as the leader of the project group TAN on March 10, 2022. Following the group’s disbandment on June 29, 2024, he announced his departure from the idol industry and enlisted in the military on October 13, 2024. Having completed his mandatory service, he was officially discharged on April 6, 2026, marking the end of his military duties earlier this month
