He debuted in 1977 when he established the theater company 76 along with his brother KI Guk-seo, also an actor and stage director. They were not earning a lot, but KI didn’t mind. However, along with his marriage came the moral obligation of feeding his family and so he tried other jobs, without much success. He went back to the stage, and since the late 1990s began to appear in movies.
