All the latest celebrity news and gossip
Park Myung-soo was born on August 27, 1970, and made his TV debut on MBC in 1993, according to Wikipedia. He is a comedian, MC, singer and songwriter, and one of the defining faces of Infinite Challenge.
On Infinite Challenge, Park plays the "second-in-command," ranked below host Yoo Jae-suk. That set up a running gag in which he plots to overthrow Yoo and take the top spot himself. He is famous for his "scolding" comedy, angrily telling off his co-stars over trivial things, and for flubbing words mid-rant, which only makes the others take him less seriously. His squabbles with Jeong Jun-ha grew into a recurring segment, "Ha & Soo." In 2011 the pair won Best Couple at the MBC Entertainment Awards, the first male-male duo ever to take the title.
Fans know him by many names, including "Big Star," "Chicken CEO," from the Kyochon chicken shop he once ran, and "Old Devil," opposite Noh Hong-chul's "Young Devil."
He hosted the Date at 2 o'clock radio show and won Best Radio DJ at the KBS Entertainment Awards in 2016 and 2021 for KBS Cool FM's Park Myung-soo's Radio Show. In 2012, after 20 years in entertainment, he won his first Daesang, entertainer of the year, at the MBC Entertainment Awards. He has also released several singles, including "Prince of the Sea," which LPG covered in 2007.
