Kim Kyung Hoon is a South Korean former actor and current CEO and businessman. He graduated from International Class of Minjok Military High School and later enrolled at the University of Illinois. He had a dream of becoming a celebrity since he was a child, so in 2008, during his 1st year in college, he decided to take a leave of absence and returned to South Korea. He appeared in a few movies and the show "Seo In-young's New Friend" but decided to quit acting and returned to the United States in 2010 to complete his education with the actual reasons of his decision remaining a mystery. His career was further derailed when in 2015 he was involved in a controversy when fellow "The Genius" cast member, Lee Jong Beom, asked him to post a meme of things that made him feel good and he posted racy pictures of women which lead to him being accused by fans of sexually objectifying acquaintances in public. Later that year, a fan claimed she was sexually harassed by Kim but in 2017 it was revealed that it was the fan herself who fabricated the accusation as she was stalking him, but by then his career was almost in shambles. In 2021, he became the CEO of a bio-consumer product company called Khnky and of another company called WAKE and in 2022, he was a contestant in the reality show "The Black Sheep Game".
