When Luno was 12, he finally made his decision to leave the choir to join singing school.

In November 2019 Luno saw in the internet announcement about online auditions for Luna Entertainment, so he tried to send his audition together with his class friend, who also liked k-pop. Surprisingly, Luno received answer, which said that his audition is accepted (unlike he's friends). Company also sponsored his flight to Korea. At 1st, Luno's family was against that idea, but after talk with Luna Ent. worker thought Skype, they agreed. Luno went to Korea at January 2020 to begin his training. At September 2020 Luno joined Wild Melody Entertainment's trainee show - Idolix.
