[edit] History
After graduating Busan Electronic Technical (senior) High School in 1996, he served for Samsung Electronics in Suwon as an engineer. Before entering Korean entertainment industry, he was a member of comedy team with his colleagues at Samsung.[1]
His television debut was on the KBS Gag Concert in 2002, with a segment called "Doremi Trio" (도레미 트리오). In this segment, he sung a part of K-pop songs with a hilarious comic-punch at the end. After its huge success, he joined as a panel(and co-host) of Korean variety shows, including MBC's Sunday Sunday Night, ! (exclamation mark) and KBS' Imagination Plus, etc.
[edit] Characters on Muhan Dojeon
Currently, since April 2005, he is a founding member of MBC's flagship real-variety comedy programme Muhan Dojeon. During each of the episodes, he presents his ability for anything, except making people laugh. That makes his character as an "Awkward Piggy" (어색한 뚱보). Sadly, he has the least nick-names among the members of Muhan Dojeon. This was pointed out on the 100th Episode(101th on TV) during the 100 minute debate. He is often seen as amusement because he can do anything well besides entertaining. In the 100th Episode(101th on TV), he was doing archery and was to get exactly 100 points, he often hit high points and got upto 100 points pretty quickly for a first-timer. But he went over 100 and was scolded by members because none of them so far, suceeded in any of the 100th Episode competitions.
