Kim was born in Daejeon, South Korea. His sister, Kim Mi Jin, is a TV show host. He graduated from Chungnam High School and was majoring in acting at Dankook University before dropping out.
Kim is greatly influenced by the famous gag-man, Charlie Chaplin. For this reason he chose his English name as "Charlie Kim".
In May 2006, Kim married musical actress Kim Eun Young.
Kim originally debuted under SBS's 4th class of comedians. He later joined KBS's Gag Concert in 1999 and is part of its 14th class. He was also a cast member for the first season of The Human Condition. He joined the 2 Days & 1 Night Season 3 lineup with Kim Joohyuk, Defconn and Jung Joon Young at the very end of 2013, gaining popularity as well as earning the nickname of "Mr. Devious" for his tendency to trick the other cast members. Kim is the chairman and head of the organizing committee for the Busan International Comedy Festival. He is a member of 같기도 (Gatgido), a comedic trio, which released an album with the same name in 2007.
