Perspective
In late 1991, he was selected as an SBS special employment comedian in tandem with the channel's launch.[3] His catchphrase in the I Like to Laugh corner "Rail Man", "안녕하시렵니까", gave him immediate attention.[4] He also became a model and was regarded as a handsome comedian along with Lee Hwi-jae and Park Soo-hong.[5]
He continued his popularity, appearing in programs like the SBS variety show Happy Our Saturday and the MBC sitcom Guys and Girls, until he took an 11-month hiatus in 1999 due to being charged with smoking marijuana.[6] He returned to TV in 2000 through the Sunday Night corner "Love House".[7] Subsequently, he enjoyed his golden age with shows like Happy Together, Exclamation Mark, and Hey Hey Hey.
After the mid-2000s, his specialty of acting and skits hosting alone did not fit with the zeitgeist of "real variety" and group hosting,[8][9] and shows that he starred in like Quiz Prince, Oppa Band, Champagne, and Night Star were cancelled due to low ratings.[10][11] Afterwards, his quick-witted hosting in audition programs like 2011's Kim Yuna's Kiss & Cry and 2012's Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend gained him popularity,[12] and by becoming the main MC of programs like Hello Counselor and Strong Heart he experienced a second golden age, winning the grand prize in the 2012 KBS Entertainment Awards. He is recognized on cable channels for his characteristic sex comedy.[13][14]
