Detail Profile


A native of Ulsan Metropolitan City, she grew up with her grandmother instead of her parents who divorced when she was in elementary school. Kim Ho-joong graduated from Myeongjeong Elementary School and Ulsan Middle School. At that time, he was not a troublemaker, but a student who didn't do his school life faithfully. In middle school when he was out of school, he happened to be fascinated by the grandeur of "Nessun Dorma" (Luciano Pavarotti) at a record store he visited to buy Kim Bum-soo's "I Miss You" CD and started vocal music. At first, he didn't know how to read music, but after taking lessons for five months, he passed the Gyeongbuk Arts High School. However, he felt a gap between himself, who could only take lessons once a week due to lack of money, and his friends, who basically took four or five lessons, and later, unintentionally, got into an argument with gangsters and even got scouted. 

I joined the school with the naive idea that I could learn more vocal music if I made money, but my school life changed day and night, making it even more difficult and threatening to leave school due to violent activities. However, he is determined by the will of his grandmother, who died of colorectal cancer in 2008, and under the dedication of Seo Su-yong, a teacher at Gimcheon Arts High School, who met him just in time, he completely withdraws from his organizational life and focuses only on vocal music.

In 2009, he made headlines for appearing in the amazing SBS entertainment competition stockings with "High School Student Pavarotti" as the Nessun Dorma video posted on the Internet by Seo Su-yong topped the Sejong Music Competition in 2008 and became the talk of the town.

Later, Kim Ho-jung won the first prize at the National Surrey Music Competition in 2009 and won the Korea National Prize in the same year.

After watching his stocking videos on YouTube, RUTC Academy officials offered him to study in Germany. After studying in Germany, he worked as a vocalist and performed at the annual Ulsan Citizens' Great Harmony Concert in Ulsan.

Kim Ho-jung's life story was also made into the movie Paparotti. Actor Lee Je-hoon played the role of Kim Ho-joong and actor Han Suk-kyu played the role of Seo Soo-yong, a teacher who taught him vocal music.

Even now, the friendship between the priests is very affectionate. In the documentary Prime shot at Yeosu MBC, Seo Su-yong, a teacher at Gimcheon Arts High School, was caught meeting, greeting and lecturing his juniors. He traveled to and from the western Gyeongsangnam-do region and the metropolitan area, centering on Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, and sang with artists of various genres. At the same time, he was interested in singing and receiving the Global Donation Culture Contribution Grand Prize through volunteer work.

In 2011, 'Kim Ho-jung Concert with KT Olesquare' hosted by YSK Media was held. He released an album with "My Man" in 2013 and has already shown interest in various music such as trot as well as vocal music and tried to collaborate. It also covered Jinsimon's "Egotanana" in 2018.

After studying abroad for about two years, I came back to Korea because I wanted to work in Korea. While agonizing over music that is close to the public, I saw Mistrot tomorrow, and in 2019, I will apply as soon as Mr.Trot's audition notice is released. See below for more information.

In a press release on March 16, 2020, the company officially announced that it signed a contract with 'Mistroot Entertainment' such as Jung Mi-ae and Kim So-yu.

Special note


He was born 4.2kg in Jung-gu, Ulsan. If you speak in dialect as if you are from Ulsan, your local color is certain.

By starring in Mr.Trot, he secured a lot of fans. In particular, the number of fans increased sharply due to Kim Ho-joong's unfair score in the third round of the finals when he called for a heavenly reunion.

While studying abroad and thinking about doing various music and popular music, he happened to see "Mistroot tomorrow" and saw people who had the same worries. He said he decided to go out no matter what if he was on a male show and applied as soon as the announcement of the Mister Trot audition was made. It was the 10th time that he applied for the job. When I heard that I was going to appear on Mr. Trot, teacher Seo Su-yong sighed in frustration at first, but he didn't want to feel that way as a teacher, and on Mr. Trot, he told me about the feelings and good things of each song sung by Kim Ho-jung.

In the final round of the Mistertrot, the ranking continued to rise, ranking seventh in the master's score, sixth in the total of the second round, fifth in the total online voting, and fourth in the final round of the total number of text voting.

There are several legends circulating among students at their alma mater, Gimcheon Arts High School. The most representative is the so-called "Yeonhwaji Legend," which tells that Kim Ho-jung broke up with his girlfriend and threw a ring at Yeonhwaji, and if he finds it, he will go to college well.

I like soccer very much. I used to be a soccer player when I was in elementary school, and I still have been active in 6 early soccer clubs. The only computer game I play is called FIFA.

When I was a middle school student, I briefly learned boxing and competed as a mixed martial arts fighter, but I won the first competition in my first year of middle school after beating my brother, who was a third grader in middle school. However, two years later, he met his two-year-old younger brother in the first round and was knocked down by KO in 17 seconds and reportedly stopped fighting over embarrassment.

According to an interview with Maeil Newspaper by teacher Seo Soo-yong, he has been a student with a lot of voice since he was a student, and he imitated Kim Bum-soo very well.

There is a digital illiteracy temperament. The reason why I don't do SNS often is because I'm not close to my cell phone and I think I'll post something weird if I touch it incorrectly. Since joining the agency, he has been posting on Instagram more often. However, they tag each space to see if they are still not familiar with it, or tag the current location, which has little to do with the photo, which is a selfie in the waiting room. When he posted the message on the fan cafe, he posted the photo as an attachment at first.

He said he enjoys using the words family and family and is his favorite word in interviews. I like to eat homemade food because I live alone for a long time.

He is really bad at dancing with Lee Chan-won and Lim Young-woong. When practicing Lee Dae-pal's choreography, he might not be able to move his body. "I guess this body is not mine." The dance team said in an interview that they decided to include fancy choreography in the middle of the unrequited love stage, but they all fell over. After Mr. Trot's Taste, which deals with later stories, he had a dance battle with Lee Chan-won, who lost 10:2 and was named "Chief Kim."

He said he didn't know he was bad at dancing because he didn't have to dance while singing. Dancing in the taste of Mr. Trot was his best, and after watching the show, he decided not to dance in the future.

I don't know myself, but I have a lot of aegyo with my older brothers. In the Trot TV episode of Kim Ho-jung, Young-gi mentioned it during the interview, and Young-tak also called it "jol-gwi-tang" and said he has a lot of aegyo.

Unexpectedly, he has a very large network. As he said, he is timid, but if he wants to be friendly and friendly, he seems to approach Jin without hesitation. For example, when he first met Jin when he was in high school, he even asked Jin Simone's autograph and phone number, which embarrassed Jin Simone.

He is also close to ordinary people, folk song singers and indie singers, but he also has a lot of celebrity connections. On the day of the final match, there were so many cheering messages from various celebrities that there were even suspicions that the agency was behind the plan. It is a personal connection that started with his relationship with comedians," he said on a hotline at the news headquarters.
