He never considered entering the entertainment industry and was an avid athlete throughout elementary and middle school, until an injury forced him to quit.[7] Despite initial opposition from his father, he successfully auditioned with A Cube Entertainment (now IST Entertainment) and moved to Seoul in 2014 after completing high school.[8][9] He and Victon members Heo Chan, Kang Seung-sik and Choi Byung-chan were among the company's earliest batch of male trainees.[10]

On August 10, 2020, Han made his solo debut with the EP Fame.[3] "Sacrifice" is the EP's lead single, which Han wrote the lyrics for.[20] The EP peaked at number two on the Gaon weekly album chart[21] and sales surpassed 30,000 copies after the first day.[22]

In September 2020, he competed in King of Mask Singer under the name "Blue Flag", making it to the second round of the competition.[23][24]

In March 2021, Han was announced to be making his acting debut in the web drama Love #Hashtag.[25] Before his enlistment, Han returned with his second EP Fade on June 28, with "See You Again" serving as the lead single.[26]

On June 27, 2023, Han released his third extended play Frame.[27] He won his first music show award as a soloist in SBS M's The Show with the album's lead single "Dive Into" on July 4.[28]
