Noh Hong-chul (Hangul: 노홍철; Hanja: 盧弘喆; born 31 March 1979) is a South Korean entertainer and entrepreneur.
Currently the co-host of the variety show Talents for Sale, he previously appeared on the television programs Infinite Challenge and I Live Alone. His trademark pelvic-thrusting "jeojil dance" (저질댄스) was featured in a famous cameo in the music video "Gangnam Style", which has been viewed over 3 billion times on YouTube.
Career
Pre-debut
Noh Hong-chul studied mechanical engineering at the Hongik University. After finishing his mandatory two-year military service, he created his online fashion malls, Nohongchul.com and Dream and Adventurous Hongchul-Land Corporation, selling a range of party supplies. He had another business called Hongchul Tour which provided budget trips in China; sometimes he personally guided his customers during these trips.[1]
2004 – present: Debut, Infinite Challenge, and Gangnam Style
Noh Hong-chul's television debut came on Mnet in early 2004 when he hosted his popular cable TV show called Dr. No's Pleasure Street (닥터 노의 KIN길거리)[1] After the success of this show, he officially entered into the free-to-air network program Come to Play (놀러와) on MBC, as a joint panelist. In April 2005, he became a founding member of Korea's top comedy program, Infinite Challenge.
He has sponsored a car commercial for Matiz of GM Daewoo; some caricatures and photos of himself were inserted in bonnet and doors of his red Matiz car (nicknamed "Hong car" 홍카, a play on his name and the word "hong", which means red) in the advertisement.[2]
Noh also made a brief cameo in Psy's video "Gangnam Style", thrusting his pelvis in his trademark "lewd dance," or "jeojil dance" (저질댄스) while standing above Psy while he raps in an elevator.[3] Noh's seven-second appearance in the "Gangnam Style" video has itself become a worldwide "sensation within a sensation"—and Noh has, separately from Psy, been invited to appear on U.S. television due to his worldwide fame as the "Elevator Guy".[4]
He also made an appearance in Psy's video "Gentleman", alongside the rest of the Infinite Challenge members, and in Sistar's music video, "Touch My Body" alongside Jung Jun-mo.
Personal life
Drunk driving incident
On November 8, 2014, Noh Hong Chul was arrested for drunk driving. He later issued an apology and withdrew from the television programs he was participating in, including Infinite Challenge and I Live Alone.[5]
