[edit] History
Just after graduating Gangseo Senior High school, he was entered directly to the Korean Entertainment industry, as an official manager of comedian Lee Hwi-jae. His television debut was on the programme "Theme Theatre" of the MBC in 1995, as a cameo of several episodes.
After coping a depression of his career, he appeared a segment of the brand-new comedy programme called "Comedy House - No-brain Survival"(MBC, 2003~2005). This segment was a parody of segment "Brain Survivor" of Sunday Sunday Night, and his role was a foolish quiz-challenger, including the creation of fad words such as "This is like, killing me twice" (이건 나를 두 번 죽이는 거예요)[2]
Later, he becomes the top Korean comedian. He appeared a wide-range of entertainment industry. During a winter season of 2006-2007, he was a cast of The Full Monty(as Dave).[3] He was also participated several Korean sitcoms and movies, including the top-rated High Kick! (as Lee Jun-ha)[4] and the movie Marrying the Mafia II (as Jong-myeon). He is a captain of the Korean entertainer baseball team "Han" (Hangul: 한 恨, meaning "Incumbent").
[edit] Characters on Muhan Dojeon
With a huge success of "No-brain Survival", he eventually become an official member of top-rating comic variety programme Muhan Dojeon (since March 2006). Soon, he has been re-created his character as a "Superb-piggy" (뚱뚱보), in contrast of the former "Piggy" (뚱보) and his long-time collague on this programme, Jeong Hyeong-don. He also have a physical character called "The Helmet", due to the extraordinal size(Roughly 8Kg) of his head. Recently, he gained a new nick-name. 눈치없는 형. The nick name was given because, often, he doesn't realize the situation and brings the mood down by corny jokes or phrases. "Alcohol CEO" is also his nickname on this programme, from a fact that he operates a Garaoke-pub in Gangnam-gu, Seoul called "Mong" (몽, 夢, means "Dream" in Korean).
Just before becoming an official member, he participated on the episode of Season 1 (S01E21) as a guest challenger. During that episode, he ate a bowl of hot Garak-guksu within 12 seconds(first step was 13 seconds). After succession of eating within 60 seconds, all of the challengers were fully respected to him. That scene has brought a new character called "The God of Eating" (Korean: Sik-sin 식신, 食神). During the episode of S03E50( Season 3's 50th episode celebrating challenges), only his mission to eat 50 small dishes of Garak-guksu (within 300 seconds) was accomplished.
