Career

At age 19, he joined as the main vocalist and maknae (youngest member), alongside five others: leader Park Jung-jin, Byun Jang-moon, Sung In-kyu, Japanese member Tomo (Azuma Tomoki), and Chinese member Hai Ming. The group, also stylized as A-Style or standing for "Asia Star Number 1," underwent three years of training in Korea before debuting, with Han-byul contributing his vocal prowess to the ensemble's pop-oriented sound. A’st1 made their official debut on April 17, 2008, with the single album 1234 Back, released under . The title track, "1,2,3,4 Back," featured upbeat pop rhythms and served as an energetic introduction to the group's dynamic, with Han-byul's high-range vocals prominent in the chorus and harmonies. The album included additional tracks like "Show" and "Funky N Roll Tonight," showcasing their versatility, though promotional activities were limited to music shows and select performances amid the competitive landscape.

Despite initial promise, A’st1 faced substantial challenges, including underwhelming performance and internal issues that curtailed their momentum. The group's activities were hampered by the departure of member Tomo, which prompted leader Jung-jin to announce the disbandment on their fan cafe. As the group entered their second year, facing potential contract termination after seven years of training, Han-byul volunteered to initiate the disbandment process, allowing members to pursue individual paths and sparing them further uncertainty. DSP Media officially confirmed the disbandment on December 6, , effective from November 28, marking the end of A’st1 after just over a year of promotions.
