Kim Jun-ho (born December 27, 1975), also known as Charlie Kim, is a South Korean comedian, singer and television personality. He has starred in Gag Concert since 1999 and was a member of the variety show 2 Days & 1 Night from 2013 to 2019. He has also been the executive chairman of Busan International Comedy Festival since its conception in 2013.

Considered one of the best comedians in South Korea, Kim has won two Top Excellence awards and a Daesang Award at the KBS Entertainment Awards in both comedy and variety divisions. He is signed under JDB Entertainment.[2]

Early life

Kim was born in Daejeon, South Korea. His sister, Kim Mi-jin, is a TV show host.[3] He graduated from Chungnam High School[4] and majored in acting at Dankook University before dropping out.[5]

Kim is greatly influenced by the famous comedian, Charlie Chaplin. For this reason he chose "Charlie Kim" as his English name.[6]

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.[7] Kim is the chairman and head of the organizing committee for the Busan International Comedy Festival.[8][9] 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.[10] The comedians also cited that they will continue to support Kim Junho despite the incident.[11]

Personal life

On March 2, 2006, Kim married musical actress Kim Eun-young.[12] The couple lived separately since 2007 after Kim Eun-young moved to the Philippines alone to start a business.[13] On January 22, 2018, the comedian announced his divorce with his wife after 12 years of marriage.[14]

On April 3, 2022, it was confirmed that Kim is in a relationship with comedian Kim Ji-min.[15][16]
