During his traineeship, in late 2017, Hyunjin appeared on the Mnet survival show Stray Kids, a contest centered on the formation of JYP Entertainment's new idol group.[9] By the time the show premiered on October 17, Hyunjin had been a trainee for two years.

After being confirmed as part of the group's line-up, Hyunjin was credited as a lyricist for the song "4419".[10] This track was performed alongside Bang Chan and Seungmin during the survival show as part of his effort to avoid elimination.[11] JYP Entertainment later included all songs performed by Stray Kids during the show in their pre-debut EP titled Mixtape.[12] He officially debuted with Stray Kids on March 25, 2018, with EP I Am Not through a debut showcase.[13]

In 2019, Hyunjin was announced as one of the presenters of the weekly chart show Show! Music Core, alongside SF9's Chani and Gugudan's Mina,[14] serving as co-host from February 16, 2019, to February 20, 2021 (episodes 621 through 714). In December 2019, he joined KBS's project group Bbangbbangz with Yoon Sanha, Choi Bomin, and Lee Daehwi, performing covers like GOT7's "Just Right" and Red Velvet's "Psycho" on Music Bank.[15][16] He also made his acting debut in the web series A-Teen 2 with a cameo appearance in the final episode, alongside fellow Stray Kids member I.N the same year.[17]

From February to June 2021, Hyunjin was placed on a temporary hiatus due to school bullying allegations,[18] and resumed regular activities with the group in July.[19][20] During his hiatus, he was absent from participating in the majority of Stray Kids' appearances on Kingdom: Legendary War, appearing only in their introduction round performance. He made his first reappearance by featuring in the music video for the group's release, "Mixtape: Oh," on June 26, 2021.[21]
