Yoon Hak, who debuted in 2007 as a member of Supernova, is active as a singer and actor more in Japan than in South Korea. In 2018, he appeared in the SBS drama 'Fates & Furies', and was recently known to have participated in the Korea-Japan joint audition 'G-EGG' as a producer.

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the government is urging Koreans to refrain from going to clubs, karaoke bars, and salons because of the explosion of COVID-19 cases in the Gangman area, where the most fancy clubs are situated. Officials believe this is due to the nature of such entertainment establishments as customers and employees are frequently in close contact in closed spaces.
