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.{{Cite web |date=September 2, 2015 |title=Guerilla Date with Kim Junho (Entertainment Weekly / 2014.08.30) (INTERVIEW) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3-Jp2i6oec |access-date=August 15, 2015 |website=Youtube}} Kim is the chairman and head of the organizing committee for the Busan International Comedy Festival.{{Cite web |date=September 1, 2014 |title=Busan comedy festival brings world together with humor |url=http://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Culture/view?articleId=121507 |access-date=August 14, 2015 |website=Korea.net}}{{Cite web |date=August 30, 2013 |title=Comedians announce the 1st Busan International Comedy Festival in Korea |url=http://www.bntnews.in/app/news.php?nid=6300 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304131912/http://www.bntnews.in/app/news.php?nid=6300# |archive-date=2016-03-04 |access-date=August 14, 2015 |website=Bnt News}} He is a member of 같기도 (Gatgido), a comedic trio, which released an album with the same name in 2007.
