Comedian Kim Won-hoon Is the Talk of the Town with His Unpredictable Humor

Comedian Kim Won-hoon is currently the hottest name in the Korean entertainment scene. Actively appearing on SBS's 'My Turn' and Coupang Play's 'Office Workers 2', he consistently delivers big laughs to viewers. His creative build-ups and unexpected punchlines become instant topics of conversation, while his stable acting and witty ad-libs further enhance his charm.

In particular, on 'Office Workers 2', he skillfully uses a seemingly impudent yet witty tone to tease and elicit laughter from all the cast members. He fearlessly throws jokes at celebrities like Jo Jung-suk, Lee Se-dol, Jo Yeo-jeong, Choo Sung-hoon, and Swings, making situations hilariously awkward. His audacity in teasing not just guests but also regular cast members like Shim Ja-yoon, Ji Ye-eun, Hyun Bong-sik, Lee Su-ji, Baek Hyun-jin, and even Shin Dong-yup, brings a fresh shock and bursts of laughter.

Kim Won-hoon's comedy stems from unexpected developments and unique premises. He actively utilizes the mockumentary format, creating a foundation for laughter based on candid stories of celebrities or real-life incidents. His remarks are so unpredictable that they often leave the listeners bewildered, and the resulting unexpected reactions become the killing points.

On 'My Turn', he joins as a manager, showcasing his ambition to aim for a main member position and continuously creating conflict. Even within somewhat contrived settings, such as belittling Nam Yoon-soo or leaking Tak Jae-hoon's romantic affairs, his serious acting adds a sense of reality. The sequence where he uses his supposed keen sense of smell to find the culprit who clogged the toilet is a true one-man show, leaving the cast speechless with laughter due to his unexpected actions.

As a KBS 30th batch comedian, Kim Won-hoon has forged his own path despite facing challenging environments. Building on the success of 'Shortbox', he has overcome his perceived weakness in quick wit shown in meta-comedy and has established himself as an unparalleled comedian in the mockumentary genre.

Kim Won-hoon first gained significant recognition through the YouTube channel 'Shortbox' in 2021. His comedy excels at reinterpreting everyday topics from a unique perspective. In 2022, he was recognized for his talent by winning the Grand Prize in the Creator category at the 11th Korea Social Content Awards.
