South Korean entertainer Jang Dong-min has become a hot topic after discussing his innovative, eco-friendly label invention on the MBC variety show 'Homeless Finder.'

During the broadcast, Jang Dong-min revealed his groundbreaking development of a vertical label, a stark contrast to the horizontally oriented labels commonly used worldwide. He proudly shared that this unique idea has already earned him patent registrations in nine countries, drawing admiration from fellow cast members for its originality.

Beyond just the concept, Jang Dong-min has consistently showcased his entrepreneurial spirit, earning an excellence award at a startup competition hosted by the Ministry of Environment last year. He is currently collaborating with a German company on the machinery development for this label and anticipates its consumer launch by the end of the year. With ongoing business discussions with global corporations, attention is increasingly focused on his successful transition from comedian to businessman.

Jang Dong-min debuted in 2005 through KBS's 'Gag Concert,' gaining widespread popularity with segments like 'Ad Lib' and 'Jang Dong-min's 60 Seconds.'

His exceptional wit and quick humor earned him the nickname 'National Orator' as he actively appeared on various entertainment shows, including 'Happy Sunday - Immortal Songs.'

Beyond his broadcasting career, he is solidifying his position as an all-around entertainer, actively engaging in MCing and business ventures.
