Pre–debut
Moon met a talent agent during a competition, who would later call him for an audition. He danced to an Usher song and received his notice of acceptance on his way home. He became a trainee under TS Entertainment in August during his first year in high school.[4] He spent the longest time as a trainee after bandmate Yongguk.[7]

The group debuted nine days later with their single album Warrior.[10] In November 2014, B.A.P filed a lawsuit against its agency. The members sought to nullify its contract with the company citing "unfair conditions and profit distribution".[11]
In August of the following year, the two parties ultimately settled and B.A.P resumed its activities under TS Entertainment.[12]
Moon performed his first solo song entitled "Try My Luck" during B.A.P's 2017 World Tour 'Party Baby!' in March.[13] A PBR&B track, it was released as part of a project album with fellow member Daehyun on June 8.[14]
In August and December 2018, Yongguk and Zelo left the group and record label following the expiration of their contracts, respectively.[15][16]

Moon was cast for an encore show of the theater production The Lost Village; the performance took place on April 27, 2019.[19] Set in Jeju Island amid the historical events of 1979, he played the young version of bar owner Donghyuk.[20]

On May 7, 2020, he released his debut single album Headache and its funk-pop title track.[24]
On July 8, 2021, he released his first extended play Us.[25]
In December, 2021, it was revealed he would be playing the role of Jang Jun in the upcoming music comedy Idol Recipe (2021), a film about an idol group that finds success despite being abandoned by their agency.[26]
