Kim Jong Min has been notable for being a popular mainstay of many Korean variety shows (such as KBS's Heroine 6 and Choi Hong Man Strong Friends and formerly SBS's Real Romance Love Letter), as he has become a goofy, naïve "character" known for silly comments and actions. He was also an assistant soccer coach on KBS's FC Shoot Dori. Kim Jong Min has also made appearances as a guest on MBC's King Saturday Driving School and Happy Shares Company, SBS's Love Choice (Selection Couple), X-Man, and Ya Shim Man Man, and KBS's Star Golden Bell and Happy Together Friends.
Kim Jong Min has won many awards, the most recent of which was the Best Entertainer Award from KBS in 2006.
In 2007, Kim was a permanent member of KBS's Happy Sunday lineup as part of 1 Night, 2 Days, in addition to promoting Koyote's Best album. It was reported in November that Kim has started his mandatory military service, and replacements are being sought out for his shows. It is unknown how this will affect Koyote's promotional schedule.
