Kim is known for being a mainstay of many Korean variety shows (such as KBS' Heroine 6 and Choi Hong Man Strong Friends and formerly SBS' Real Romance Love Letter), as he has become a goofy, naïve on-screen character known for silly comments and actions.

He was also an assistant soccer coach on KBS' FC Shoot Dori and has also made appearances on MBC's King Saturday Driving School and Happy Shares Company, SBS' Love Choice (Selection Couple), X-Man, and Ya Shim Man Man, and KBS' Star Golden Bell and Happy Together Friends.

[9][10][11] He was initially due to enlist in March but received a six-month postponement as his medical examination revealed a herniated disc, leading to him being assigned as a public service worker rather than in an army unit.

[citation needed] He made his solo comeback on September 3, 2014, as he released his third single, "Sali Go Dali Go", an electronic dance music composed by DanDi.

His new track peaked at ranking number eight on China's popular music video sharing site, Yinyuetai.
