Kim Jeong Hoon (born January 20, 1980), also known in Japan as “John Hoon”, is a South Korean singer and actor.
Initially pursuing a career in dentistry, Kim Joeng-Hoon debuted as a member of Korean duo UN (United N-generation) in 1999. After six years of success, the duo officially announced that they are disbanding in September 2005, and Kim announced that he was going to pursue an acting career instead. He had stated that considering the conditions of the Korean music industry prevented him from pursuing music he truly wanted to do.
By 2005, Kim had already begun starring in Korean dramas, such as sitcom Orange. He had said his final dream is to become a renowned movie director.
Kim also became famous for his academic performance when his report cards have revealed that he received A’s in every subject thus making him the top of his class and also among the peers in his grade.
In 1998, Kim was accepted to Seoul National University where he studied dentistry. However, he dropped out in 2003 when he determined that dentistry would not help him in his career. This led to controversy as some disputed his account and claimed that he was expelled by the University for maintaining a low GPA.
Kim is now a senior in Chung-Ang University where he majors Japanese language and acting.
