Seo Jang Hoon is a South Korean retired professional basketball player turned television personality. He graduated from Whimoon High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Physical Education from Yonsei University and a master's degree in Child and Adolescent Counseling from Sangmyung University.

While in high school, he immediately drew the attention of several universities as he was already 1.97 m tall. He was accepted at Yonsei University and lived through the golden era of college basketball as the Yonsei vs. Korea University rivalry increased his popularity across the country. After graduating, the Korean Basketball League was recently formed, so he was chosen by the Seoul SK Knights in 1998.

In 2002, he moved to the Seoul Samsung Thunders, where he spent 5 seasons. He later had stops at Jeonju KCC Egis (2007-2008), Incheon Electroland Elephants (2008-2011), Changwon LG Sakers (2011-2012), and Busan KT Sonicboom (2012-2013), where he retired. He is considered one of the country's best centers in history and still holds several domestic records. Internationally, he was selected in 1994 and played for the senior team in several tournaments, winning a gold medal at the 1997 FIBA Asia Cup and at the 2002 Asian Games.

In 2009, he married announcer Oh Jung Yeon, but the couple divorced three years later without having any children. After retiring from basketball, he opted for a career in entertainment instead of becoming a coach or a commentator. Since 2015, he has frequently appeared on many variety and talk shows. He is represented by SM C&C (에스엠컬처앤콘텐츠).
