Kim graduated from Korea University. In July 2009 he married his wife, a make-up artist.[1][2] Their son was born in December 2014.[3]

Career

Kim joined the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) in 2002 and worked largely on the channel's Sunday night programs aired on Sunday Sunday Night. He gained prominence amongst viewers as the director of Infinite Challenge due to his use of humorous subtitles and captions. His work on Infinite Challenge has garnered him popular and professional recognition and earned him nominations for various awards.

From September to November 2017 Kim was one of several thousand employees of MBC and KBS who participated in a joint labor union strike over unfair company practices at their respective broadcasting stations.[4][5] He was reported to have won an award at the annual KCC Broadcasting Awards that August but refused to attend out of solidarity for his colleagues.[6] As a result of the strike, popular programs on both MBC and KBS such as Infinite Challenge, Happy Together, Music Bank, Show! Music Core and others were canceled for up to twelve weeks.

On September 7 2021, MBC announced that Kim would be leaving the company by the end of that year.[7][8]
