Dongkiz (Korean: 동키즈, stylized in all caps) is a South Korean idol group signed to Dongyo Entertainment. The group consists of five members: Wondae, Kyoungyoon, Munik, Jaechan, and Jonghyeong. They promoted a pre-debut song entitled "Nom" from November 2018, which ultimately served as the lead single from the single album Dongkiz on the Block the following April. The group released a second single album BlockBuster and a mini-album Dongky Town within the year. Dongkiz received the Focus Award at the 2019 Asia Artist Awards.

History[]

The members of Dongkiz—Wondae, Kyoungyoon, Munik, Jaechan, and Jonghyeong—were trainees between one to three years.[1][2] The group was modeled after New Kids on the Block.[2] Dongkiz initiated promotional activities in August 2018, which included uploading dance covers onto Dongyo Entertainment's YouTube channel and busking.[3][4] They also performed at the HEC Korea Concert in Thailand.[5] Dongkiz released a Minneapolis sound-based pre-debut single entitled "Nom" on November 21, 2018.[6] Soon thereafter, they performed at the Charity Concert for Palu, Sigi, and Donggala; its proceeds were donated to victims of the 2018 Sulawesi earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia.[7] Originally slated for a February 2019 debut, Dongkiz released their debut single album Dongkiz on the Block on April 24.[8][9] They intended to promote a different song, but ultimately decided on "Nom" to serve as the lead single.[10] On July 22, Dongkiz released their second single album BlockBuster. The title track samples the theme song of the 1984 film Ghostbusters.[11] Dedicated to their fans, Dongkiz released the dance-pop track "Dreaming You" as a digital single on September 11.[12]

After sustaining a leg injury in midst of practice, in addition to ongoing trauma from a back injury endured prior to his debut, Kyoungyoon paused his activities to recuperate and the group continued promoting as four.[13] Dongkiz released their first mini-album Dongky Town and accompanying disco-EDM single "Fever" on November 6.[14] They went on to win the Focus Award at the 2019 Asia Artist Awards.[15] On January 2, 2020, Dongkiz followed up with the funk single "All I Need Is You", marking Kyoungyoon's return to the group.[16] The group released the old-school hip hop-dance single "Lupin" on March 15.[17] Jaechan and Munik formed the sub-unit Dongkiz I:Kan and they released the new jack swing single "Y.O.U" on July 7, 2020.[18] Dongkiz's third single album Ego was released on August 19, 2020.[19] Dongkiz's fourth single album Youniverse was released on April 15, 2021.[20] Dongkiz's fifth single album Chase Episode 1. Ggum was released on July 1, 2021.[21]
