Career
Predebut
Felix was scouted through an online message he received after school, asking him if he was interested in auditioning for JYP Entertainment.[14] He auditioned with a freestyle dance.[15] He joined the company on February 24, 2017, making him the 6th member to join the lineup.[7]
His individual picture and name were officially revealed by the company on October 12, 2017 at noon, for his participation in the upcoming survival show Stray Kids.[16] He was introduced with the roles Rap and Dance.
During the show, he was eliminated on episode 8 because of his struggle with Korean language, but he was brought back on the final episode on December 19, 2017. Following the audience voting in favor of the 9-member lineup, it was confirmed that Felix would debut with the boy group Stray Kids.
2018-present: Stray Kids
On March 25, 2018, Felix debuted with the mini album I am NOT as a lead dancer and sub-rapper of Stray Kids.[17]
From July 1, 2019 to January 3, 2020, he was a fixed MC on English-language program Pops in Seoul.
On March 14, 2021, Felix co-wrote and released the duet song "Because" for the SKZ-RECORD series alongside Changbin.
On June 24, 2022, he featured on the track "NO PROBLEM" of TWICE Nayeon's solo debut album IM NAYEON.
On December 21, 2022, Felix participated in writing and composing his original solo song "Deep end" for Stray Kids' album SKZ-REPLAY.

On March 5, 2024, Felix debuted as a runway model at Louis Vuitton's Paris Fashion Week Women F/W 24 Show.[19]
Artistry
Since debut, Felix is a hot topic for his cavernous voice which contrasts with his soft looks. He often talked about it as being the "bass of the group"[20] and it is a weapon for Stray Kids' hype image. His lines often become the killing parts of the song, like in "Side Effects", "God's Menu" or "Christmas EveL", to the point that he is nicknamed "that part guy". When he sings, his voice gets higher, softer and boyish, like in "Deep end", "Youtiful" or "FNF".
His dancing is characterized by his coolness and freshness. He was often in charge of doing stunts in choreographies, like high kicks, as seen in "ALL IN" or "WOLFGANG".
Visuals
Felix is part of the visual line along Lee Know and Hyunjin. Visually, he has a soft fairy, elf-like image. He has had a great diversity of hair colors and makeup styles which often get experimental, like hair extensions ("Thunderous") and white mascara and eyebrows ("TOP").
He is also known for his freckles which used to be hidden by makeup artists earlier in the group's career, but are now almost always shown due to the good response from fans.
