Career

Kim originally debuted under SBS's 5th class of comedians. He later joined KBS's Gag Concert in 1999 and is part of its 14th class. He was also a cast member for the first season of The Human Condition. He joined the 2 Days & 1 Night Season 3 lineup with Kim Joohyuk, Defconn and Jung Joon Young at the very end of 2013, gaining popularity as well as earning the nickname of "Mr. Devious" for his tendency to trick the other cast members.[11] Kim is the chairman and head of the organizing committee for the Busan International Comedy Festival.[12][13] He is a member of 같기도 (Gatgido), a comedic trio, which released an album with the same name in 2007.

Kim was the co-CEO and founder of CoKo Entertainment. However, in late 2014, it was discovered that his partner and co-CEO, Kim Woo Jung, had embezzled money from the company and had run away to the United States, causing the company debts to reach over millions of dollars. When it shut down from bankruptcy in January 2015, he and former comedians under CoKo company transferred to JD Bros, a company that is run by his friend, Kim Dae Hui.[14] The comedians also cited that they will continue to support Kim Junho despite the incident.[15]
