Kim Jong-min, the representative of Korean variety shows, debuted with accompaniment dance, and became popular with "silly" in variety shows, the first generation of "silly" stars, and the second generation is Lee Kwang-so. And won the award for its performance in the variety show.
In 1996, Kim Jong-min debuted as an accompanist, and the dance strength was one of the best at that time, which was the best dance in that period, and at that time, Kim Jong-min's appearance was handsome, and his figure was even better. Before his debut, he also participated in the SM audition, but was not selected because of the mistake of the dance, and the draft at that time was to select the "HOT" members of the later Hallyu originator.
After the debut of the accompaniment dance, because of its outstanding strength, it was chosen by Yan Zhenghua as his accompaniment dance, and basically became a royal accompaniment dance, and Yan Zhenghua's popular Korean "poison" was Kim Jong-min's accompaniment dance, and the performance on the stage at that time also became a classic picture of Kim Jong-min. At that time, there were more than 30,000 fans as a dance companion. Dancing with Yan Zhenghua until 2000, when the Korean mixed voice group "Gao Yaotai" left because Che Shengmin returned to the United States to study, Kim Jong-min was recommended by Yan Zhenghua to join "Gao Yaotai", and he was also the male lead singer. He began to act as a singer, won many awards as a member of "Gao Yaotai", and has been in the group no matter whether the group is in a low ebb or his own popularity, and has made "Gao Yaotai" a "dance music supreme" and "Disco King" and the longest-lived mixed sound group recognized by the Korean people and the music industry.
In 2004, the pioneering "love letter" of Korean variety show was broadcast, Kim Jong-min was invited by Jiang Hudong to join and start his own variety show journey, and it was also Jiang Hudong and "love letter" that made Kim Jong-min emerge on the road of variety shows, and obtained a large number of performance opportunities with the image of "fool", gaining huge popularity. The 3 kings in the "love letter", "Shin Senjong", can be said to be the representative of Korean variety shows at that time, everyone is their own sense of artistic ability, not to say or move, standing is laughter. "Love letters" also rely on them to gain the love of the public, and have become the "pioneering masterpiece" of modern Han Zong. From 2004 to 2006, Kim Jong-min had the opportunity to participate in more programs due to his outstanding performance in "Love Letters", and all of them had good monetization, of which "X-MAN" created a millennium love for Kim Jong-min for 4 consecutive periods, and Shin Jeong-hwan took Kim Jong-min to join "Female Jie 6".
In 2006, Kim Jong-min entered his heyday and swept the Korean screen with the image of "silly head and stupid brain". Among them, the imitation of "MJ" dancing in the "Female Jie 6" program became the hottest topic in South Korea at that time, and the search was the first. With the dazzling performance of the variety show, he won the Best Entertainer Award at the 2006 KBS Performing Arts Awards, and also became the first male artist that all the female anchors of KBS wanted to see.
In 2007, the landmark program "Two Days and One Night" in the Korean variety industry was launched, and Kim Jong-min, as the best partner of Kang Hudong, participated in the show, and also began to transform the image of "silly head and stupid brain" into the image of "sometimes genius". In the early days of "21", Kim Jong-min was the absolute core, and was the artist who was recognized by the Korean public except For Kang Ho-dong. The previous "21" ratings are not high, only 10%, but also revised once, that is, relying on Kim Jong-min in the show's realization, one of the episodes of the fall to eat ramen is the beginning of the "21" turn counter-attack, because Kim Jong-min's performance attracted the attention of the audience, turned to focus on "21", the ratings climbed steadily, and finally the actual score of the Dokdo album broke 20%, officially recognized by the Korean public, Kim Jong-min is indispensable.
Unfortunately, at the peak of Kim Jong-min, he faced the most terrible nightmare and the abyss that Korean male artists could not cross, that is, "military service". At the end of 2007, Kim Jong-min began to serve and began a two-year disappearance period.
During this period, "21" has become a "national variety show" after time and the efforts of the members at that time, and the ratings have repeatedly reached new highs. In 2009, the day of Kim Jong-min's retirement, he was pulled away by the members at the retirement site to participate in the latest episode of the program, but the gap period of 2 years made Kim Jong-min feel panicked, and there was no sense of artistic ability at the peak of that year (this is still HAHA strong, the sense of artistic ability after retirement is still the same, you can see the first issue of HAHA after retirement "no pick" comparison).
Fortunately, after a period of adjustment, he did not disappoint the public who liked him, and the Kim Jong-min who made everyone laugh was back. And in "21" there was a major event in 2011, after the members of the first season have withdrawn, they still insist on "21", after 2 seasons, 3 seasons, 4 seasons, leading different new members to continue to create joy for the public. It is also the persistence of Kim Jong-min, who won the grand prize at the 2016 KBS Performing Arts Awards.
Now Kim Jong-min not only has the main MC's "21", but in recent years, he has often starred in Liu Dashen's programs, including last year's explosive "Return Expedition" and "What are you idle", and this year he still starred in the show of the god from time to time, as always "stupid".
Kim Jong-min from a god who forgot words in the show and could NG more than 170 times in short dramas, relying on his own true performance and perseverance and then counterattack efforts, finally stepped out of his own acting path.
