Jang Dong-min (Korean: 장동민; Hanja: 張東民; born July 20, 1979), is a South Korean comedian. He is known as "comedian who curses a lot", (his comedy style is mainly based on yelling and cursing). He joined Gag Concert as part of its 19th season (2004), along with Yoo Se-yoon and Yoo Sang-moo. Together they made up a trio called 옹달샘 (Ongdalsaem). He was the winner of the 3rd and 4th seasons of The Genius. He is particularly noted in the industry for his witty, if harsh and pointed, gags. It was reported that these gags got him in a lot of hot water.[1]
Jang graduated from Sorabol High School in 1998, and went on to pursue higher education at Dong-ah Institute of Media and Arts.[citation needed]
