20-year-old Choi (Korean age) competed in YG Treasure Box (2018–2019), a survival reality program composed of twenty nine trainees, as one of seven under "Team A".[14] The broadcast documented the formation of YG Entertainment's next boy band, Treasure.[15] He became the seventh and last member to join the septet, however, with the announcement of a second line-up and the ensuing merge, the initial septet became the eventual 12-piece ensemble.[16][17] Choi was notified of his addition to the band from his parents subsequently after its revelation by news articles.[18]
In the midst of its preparation for debut, Choi featured on the B-side single, "1, 2" (한두번; handubeon) by label-mate Lee Hi from her extended play titled 24°C and participated as its lyricist.[19] He also served as an "unofficial leader" with Jihoon in their respective teams when they were divided into two for training due to the number of members.[20] His training period came to an end after five years, followed his debut in Treasure on August 7, 2020, with the single album entitled The First Step: Chapter One.[20] The band adopted the two-tier leadership with Choi and Jihoon after witnessing positive aspects from the once temporary system.[15]
