Kim has won numerous prizes including the Grand Prize (Daesang) at the 2016 KBS Entertainment Awards for his work on 2 Days & 1 Night.[5]
Before debuting as a member of Koyote, Kim worked as a backup dancer for Uhm Jung-hwa, Lee Jung Hyun, Kim Wan-sun, R.E.F and many other artists.[6][unreliable source?][7][unreliable source?] He was on the dance team "Friends" for five years.
Kim is known for being a mainstay of many Korean variety shows (such as KBS' Heroine 6 and Choi Hong Man Strong Friends and formerly SBS' Real Romance Love Letter), as he has become a goofy, naïve on-screen character known for silly comments and actions. He was also an assistant soccer coach on KBS' FC Shoot Dori and has also made appearances on MBC's King Saturday Driving School and Happy Shares Company, SBS' Love Choice (Selection Couple), X-Man, and Ya Shim Man Man, and KBS' Star Golden Bell and Happy Together Friends.[citation needed]
In 2007, Kim became a cast member of KBS' Happy Sunday lineup as part of 1 Night 2 Days and has been with the program to date, being the only pioneer member who witnessed 1 Night 2 Days from Season 1 till Season 4.[8] From November 2007 until December 2009, he served his mandatory military service as a public service worker.[9][10][11] He was initially due to enlist in March but received a six-month postponement as his medical examination revealed a herniated disc, leading to him being assigned as a public service worker rather than in an army unit.[12]
Kim won multiple awards during his television career, including the Best Entertainer Award at the 2013 SBS Entertainment Awards for Star King in 2013,[13] the Top Excellance Award at the 2015 KBS Entertainment Awards for 1 Night 2 Days,[14] and the Grand Prize Award for his commitment and loyalty with KBS 1 Night 2 Days at the 2016 KBS Entertainment Awards.[15]
In September 2017, it was confirmed that Kim would be a fixed cast member in Netflix's variety show Busted!.[16]
In the first quarter of 2011, he released his very first single entitled "Oppa Find Strength". His promotional clip from the MV depicted the negative comments that he received after his return from military service.[citation needed]
He made his solo comeback on September 3, 2014, as he released his third single, "Sali Go Dali Go", an electronic dance music composed by DanDi. The music video of featured Chun Myung-hoon (NRG) and comedian Ahn Young-mi. His new track peaked at ranking number eight on China's popular music video sharing site, Yinyuetai.[17]
