Kim was also announced as an MC for the first day of the 26th Dream Concert "CONNECT:D".[20]

On August 6, 2020, it was announced that Kim would be releasing a solo song, in the form of a digital single, on August 25, 2020, ahead of his future debut with WEi, titled "No More", produced by Zion. T.[1][2]
