Kim Tae-gyun

Kim Tae-gyun has spent most of his working life as one half of a double act. He started in comedy in 1993 and a year later was part of the trio Cult Triple; when Jung Seong-han left in 2002, he and Jung Chan-woo carried on as the duo Cultwo. The Baeksang Arts Awards named the pair best male variety performers in 2005 for their work on People Looking for a Laugh.

Radio then became the centre of the act. Cultwo Show, the talk programme the two have hosted on SBS Power FM since 2006, earned them the radio DJ prize at the SBS Entertainment Awards in 2012 and an excellence award at the same ceremony in 2014, while KBS honoured the duo in 2012 for the talk show Hello Counselor. Kim trained at the Seoul Institute of the Arts and also works as a singer and actor. In 2023 he received a Prime Minister's Commendation at the Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards.
