He majored in theater at Silla University and made his debut as a theater actor in 1967. He debuted as a comedy writer for TBC Dongyang Broadcasting in 1968 and officially debuted as a broadcaster for MBC Munhwa Broadcasting the following year in 1969. He also served as a director of Jinro Group. He is known as an idea man, operating a retro-style cafe called 'School Bell Rings' in Insadong and creating a late-night bowling alley and late-night theater. In particular, he popularized the term 'comedian' and also initiated the 'Gag Concert' program, which triggered a boom in public comedy.

He was once in a common-law relationship with singer Jin Mi-ryeong, but they never registered their marriage. They later separated (effectively a divorce). In 1991, he made his directorial debut with the film [Chick-chick's Tomorrow Is Champion], but it was a box-office failure. After that, he shifted to making children's films for video release.
○ There's a first-place winner, and there's a last-place finisher. In the world, there are more people who are not good at studying than those who are. The last-place finisher may fall behind in studies, but they can demonstrate unparalleled abilities in other fields. Schools should also reconsider the competitiveness of the last-place finishers for the future of South Korea to be bright.
○ Isn't a capable woman or a cool woman better than a pretty woman?
○ If you don't want to compete, you have to look at the world a little bit differently. I don't compete. If I go my own way, I don't have to compete with others. Of course, I can't avoid competing with myself.
○ We don't distinguish well between playing and resting. Playing can be seen as sightseeing, and resting can be seen as traveling. We don't rest well at tourist attractions. In the past, they let people rest to make them work. But they realized that if they didn't rest and worked, their efficiency would decrease. In the past, they viewed playing as impure. It was seen negatively when words like 'a playful guy' or 'a playful girl' were used, implying that they were engaging in something negative. However, now it's an era where you can play well and make money. Hanbiya became famous for traveling around. There's a story about an ant and a grasshopper. How can everyone live like an ant? During the IMF foreign exchange crisis, many ants were laid off. It was the era of ants' suffering.
○ Words are useless. Time is the best medicine. There's no medicine to cure a hangover, is there? You vomit, eat hangover soup, go to the sauna, and slowly drain the toxins until the alcohol wears off.
○ I've crossed all sorts of hills in my life, but crossing this one was the hardest. Do you know what hill it is? It's Jin Mi-ryeong.
