Predebut
In late 2016, Changbin formed a hip-hop crew called 3RACHA with trainees Bang Chan ("CB97") and HAN ("J.One"), where he used the stage name "SPEARB". They uploaded self-composed extended plays on SoundCloud throughout 2017.
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.[6] He was introduced with the roles "Producer" and "Rap".

Artistry
Changbin's rap is recognizable to its scratchy feeling and intensity. His voice can switch from a deep, husky tone to a nasally, high pitched tone, giving a rough feeling. He is known for having a very loud voice which can be heard easily even without a microphone. His performance aspects include coolness, charisma and darkness. He used to have a rap tag, "YAW".[8]
Despite his gritty image, he has shown his ability to sing in a soft tone, and some songs feature melodic rap parts. His own songs, like "Mixtape : On Track", tend to be more melodic.
