Comedian Kim Won-hoon's sparkling wit and uncontrollable talent captivated the public.
Kim Won-hoon caused a stir by placing two works side by side in the top 10, ranking first with the Coupang Play series "Office Workers" season 2 and third with SBS Thursday entertainment show "One-shot Project - My Turn" (hereafter "My Turn") in the non-drama personality popularity category of the TV-OTT integrated non-drama cast popularity rankings for the first week of September announced by Good Data Corporation FUNdex.
The Coupang Play series "Office Workers" season 2, which gave Kim Won-hoon the No. 1 title, is a real office survival story about the true office workers of DY Planning who dream of salary-lupin and leaving work on time, and a psychological battle with star clients.
Appearing in DY Planning led by Shin Dong-yup as a troublemaker known as a squeezed-generation supervisor, he plays a supervisor who has zero sense of social graces and zero skills but must say what he wants to say to relieve himself, delivering a striking performance that sticks in viewers' minds each episode. In particular, his spicy ad-libs that unsettle the poise of the star guests who appear each episode leave viewers dizzy and disarm their laughter.
SBS Thursday entertainment show "My Turn," which ranked third, is a fake reality show in which the trot idol project seeks a big score, and Kim Won-hoon captivates viewers with intense variety flair in the flashy back-and-forth with members and events that arise in various situations.
Appearing as the manager in the trot idol project, he constantly delivers realistic character portrayals and spontaneous laughs according to situational skits, driving the program's popularity with his quick-witted, energetic acting.
In addition to series and variety works, Kim Won-hoon, who made his acting debut in Jangppizzu's military animation content "New Recruit," has accumulated serious acting experience across various genres including the dramas "Lies Are Useless," "Lovely Again Today," "The Crown Prince Disappeared," and "Chairman Is Grade 9," and on his currently operated YouTube channel "Short Box," which shines with 3.56 million subscribers, he shows the mastery of everyday acting through various setups by segment, with outstanding quickness and distinguished wit cited as factors in his popularity.
Based on experiences accumulated on various comedy stages since his debut, Kim Won-hoon has been creating buzz by delivering persuasive laughter through character portrayals suited to each work across diverse platforms from OTT to terrestrial broadcasters and YouTube. With his singular wit and unpredictable performances earning enthusiastic public support, expectations are growing for what Kim Won-hoon will do next.
