Kim Min-jong made his acting debut in 1988 through the film Don Quixote on Asphalt.

They then focused on their solo careers for a while before reuniting in 1995 and dropping a self-titled album. The duo’s popularity as well as Kim Min-jong’s roles in hit TV series such as KBS2’s Feelings and SBS’s Mister Q established him as a matinee idol in the 1990s.
