It has been 20 years since comedian Kim Hyung-gon passed away.

The late Kim Hyung-gon collapsed while exercising at Health Sauna in Jayang-dong, Seoul on the morning of March 11, 2006, and was rushed to the emergency room, but died of a heart attack. He was 49.

The late Kim Hyung-gon made his debut in 1990 when he won a silver award at the TBC Gag Contest. In particular, he was greatly loved for the section of KBS 2TV's "Humor No. 1", "Chairman, Chairman, Our Chairman."

The deceased was awarded the KBS Comedy Award in 1987, the 32nd Baeksang Arts Awards Comedian Acting Award in 1996, and the 11th Yecheong Arts and Culture Awards in 1997.

Later in 2002, he ran for a parliamentary seat as an independent, drawing attention.

Meanwhile, the body of the deceased was reportedly donated to the Catholic University Medical School Hospital for research purposes. The remains were buried at Cheonga Park in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.
