Career
During the 1980s and 1990s, Im was one of of Korea"s foremost comedians (called "gag men") alongside Shim Hyung-rae and Kim Hyung-gon. As his brand of comedy became less popular among younger viewers, Im started appearing in small supporting roles in films and television series, particularly those directed by Jang Jin. Other notable films include workplace/musical drama Bravo My Life (2007) and political satire Good Morning President (2009).
