DKZ 소개

DKZ, formerly known as DONGKIZ, is a five-member boy group under Dongyo Entertainment. The group released their pre-debut single "DONGKIZ Pre-debut D/S 1." on November 21, 2018 before officially debuting on April 24, 2019 with the single album DONGKIZ On The Block.

Originally promoting as DONGKIZ, the group gained attention through energetic concepts and releases such as "Blockbuster," "Lupin," "Universe," and "Crazy Night." Throughout their early years, the group experienced several lineup and activity changes, including temporary hiatuses for members Won Dae and Mun Ik due to health concerns.

On March 18, 2022, Dongyo Entertainment announced a major reorganization of the group, including a name change from DONGKIZ to DKZ, the departure of Won Dae, and the addition of new members Se Hyeon, Min Gyu, and Gi Seok. Following the rebrand, the group entered a new phase of activities with releases such as Chase Episode 2. Maum, Chase Episode 3. Beum, and Reboot, while also earning their first music show win with "Uh-Heung" on The Show in 2022.

In later years, the group continued activities despite additional member departures and hiatuses, including Mun Ik’s official withdrawal in 2023 and Kyoung Yoon’s eventual departure the same year. On April 15, 2026, Dongyo Entertainment announced that DKZ would officially conclude group activities and disband on May 31, 2026, with the members continuing individual careers under the agency.
