Among the dozens of kpop idols and groups that debut every year, DKZ has managed to not only make its mark but also gain a loyal fanbase. The group gained popularity when it first debuted under the name Dongkiz. Furthermore, the group is managed by Dongyo Entertainment, which also manages other popular Kpop idols such as TEMPEST and NMIXX. The group debuted in the April of 2019 with the hit album ‘DONGKIZ On The Block’ with five members.
