Shin Dong-yup

Shin Dong-yup (; born February 17, 1971) is a South Korean comedian and television comedy show host. He graduated from the Seoul Institute of the Arts. He became popular after appearing in SBS's variety program Happy Saturday and MBC's sitcom Guys n Girls.

Career In late 1991, he was selected as an SBS special employment comedian in tandem with the channel's launch. His catchphrase in the I Like to Laugh corner "Rail Man", "안녕하시렵니까", gave him immediate attention. He also became a model and was regarded as a handsome comedian along with Lee Hwi-jae and Park Soo-hong.

He continued his popularity, appearing in programs like the SBS variety show Happy Our Saturday and the MBC sitcom Guys and Girls, until he took an 11-month hiatus in 1999 due to being charged with smoking marijuana. He returned to TV in 2000 through the Sunday Night corner "Love House". Subsequently, he enjoyed his golden age with shows like Happy Together, Exclamation Mark, and Hey Hey Hey.

After the mid-2000s, his specialty of acting and skits hosting alone did not fit with the zeitgeist of "real variety" and group hosting, and shows that he starred in like Quiz Prince, Oppa Band, Champagne, and Night Star were cancelled due to low ratings. Afterwards, his quick-witted hosting in audition programs like 2011's Kim Yuna's Kiss & Cry and 2012's Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend gained him popularity, and by becoming the main MC of programs like Hello Counselor and Strong Heart he experienced a second golden age, winning the grand prize in the 2012 KBS Entertainment Awards. He is recognized on cable channels for his characteristic sex comedy.
