Careerโป
He has been performing as a stage actor on several Korean theatre plays, mainly in Daehangno for 20 years. And also working as a movie actor since 1998. On early 2012, after hard years as a relatively unknown actor, he was strongly requested by, his Seoul Institute of the Arts superior Jang Jin, who served as the creative director of a brand-new live comic variety TV programme Saturday Night Live Korea. He eventually joined this programme and "has been performing since May 2012." Furthermore, from the beginning of SNL Korea's 3rd season in latter of 2012, with mentorship by high-profile comedian Shin Dong-yup, his popularity has skyrocketed. During the "show," he played a series of unexpected sexual characters, which led its viewersโโto misapprehend him as an LGBT member.
Currently, he serves both as a recurring stage director and actor of his works in South Korean arts circle, and considered as a de facto member of Jang Jin's Division (์ฅ์ง์ฌ๋จ), alongside Kim Seul-gi, Go Kyung-pyo, Kwon Hyeok-su, and others. He has also been coaching his fellow stage actors like Chae Dong-hyeon, Yoon Gyung-ho, and Seo Seong-min. He admires Steven Chow as his role model, who numerously covers both comic and tragic acts.

But included Kim Min-kyo's own possible and imaginary situations. During winter season of 2012โ2013, he acted a main character of this play, Goo Bong-phil (๊ตฌ๋ดํ). This play has been co-worked with his Seoul Institute of the Arts colleague Kim Su-ro as his producer.
