Her career has span for almost three decades as she has become one of the most sought after comediennes that has broken barriers and paved the way for female entertainers in South Korea. In 2020, she won the Grand Prize (Daesang) at the KBS Entertainment Awards becoming only the second woman to obtain it in entertainment. (Source: NamuWiki)
