The saying “jack of all trade and master of none” may apply to another person but certainly not to South Korean artist Ji Suk Jin. Ji, who was nicknamed “Big Nose Hyung” on The Running Man is an actor, TV host, comedian, broadcaster, emcee (MC) and singer and believe it or not he is a master at all .

Ji is also the host of 2 O’Clock Date – an afternoon radio show on MBC FM4U.

Who is Ji Suk Jin?

Jin was born in Jungseon, Gangwon, South Korea on February 10, 1966, as Jee Seok-jin. He took the stage name Ji Suk Jin at some point in his career. He graduated in business administration from Ajou University.

The Korean artist is so secretive about his personal life, so there is not so much information online about his early life or childhood.

Although he started his career in 1992 as a singer, it was his acting and MC career that gave him the fame and popularity he is proud of today. He was the main host of Star Golden Bell, a South Korean variety show that aired on KBS from 2004 to 2010. Although he left the show in 2009, his presenting style has become almost irreplaceable.

Currently, he is well known as one of the cast members of another South Korean variety show Runner. He is one of the longest serving members of the show and is often described as the weakest link and the one who is always left out by fans and guests. Other cast members of the series include Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Jong-kook, Song Ji-Hyo, Haha, and Yoo Jae-suk.

Being a TV host, presenter, MC, and comedian didn’t cause Ji Suk Jin to give up his love of music. Twenty-two years after the release of his first album “I Know”, he released two new singles in 2014. The same year, he collaborated with Club Soul to do a duet for the KBS drama My dear cat and for Romance for 7 days , the following year.

He soon released this latest song in Korean and Chinese versions. The Chinese version has crossed boundaries that it was received even in Mandarin-speaking regions and ranked 6th on Chinese Baidu music charts.

Ji Suk Jin recently became popular for his Chinese song Fairy Tale, which he first performed in 2015 at the RunningMan Special Live in Taipei fan meeting. It was such an amazing performance that Michael Wong, the original singer of the song praised him for bringing new life to the song. He would later invite Ji Suk Jin to perform the song with him at his concert in Taipei held in May 2015.

In 2017, he released a duet he sang with HongKong singer Bianca Wu, who invited him to record a new jazz song from a classic 1998 duet hit that was originally made by Francesca Kao and Jacky Cheung. The duo also directed the song’s video in Hong Kong and performed it at Hong Kong TVB’s annual charity gala.

Ji Suk Jin is also the host of 2 O’Clock Date – an afternoon radio show, broadcast daily on MBC FM4U, from 2-4 p.m. Ji has also appeared in some TV shows and series like Happy Together, Strong Heart, Go, Show, Infinite Challenge, Hurry Up Bother, None Summit, EntourageAdoption of Real Animals: The Youngest in Our Family, Thank You, and much more.

In addition to her media career, Ji runs her own business. It has a club named “Club Impala”, which has been in operation since 2012.

His wife (Ryu Su-Jung), children and parents

Ji Suk Jin has been married to Ryu Su Jung since 1997. The couple met through a mutual friend – Yoo Jae Suk. Theirs was love at first sight, they dated for a while before getting married in 1997 and have been together ever since.

The couple celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2017 with a second wedding which aired on the Running Man Show in a special episode called “Big Nose Week”.

They have a son named Jee Hyun-woo. Jee and his mother Ryu Su Jung appeared on the MBC variety show “Real Animal Adoption: Our Family’s Youngest” in December 2013.

As mentioned earlier, Ji is secretive when it comes to divulging personal information, so little is known about his parents. But upon receiving an SBS Entertainment Awards in December 2017, Ji Suk Jin dedicated the award to his parents whose health was rapidly deteriorating. Six months later (June 2018), her father passed away.
