Hyun's career coincided with the founding of the professional league, having been drafted at the first ever KBL draft. The former number one draft pick battled an injury-ravaged career which led to his retirement in 2009. In 2012, Hyun earned the KBL Legend All-Star selection. He was named into the KBL All-Time Legend 12 in 2017.
As a member of the senior national team for more than a decade, Hyun competed in two FIBA World Cups (1994, 1998), three Asian Games (1994, 1998, 2002), four FIBA Asia Cups (1995, 1997, 1999, 2005), one Olympics (1996) and one East Asian Games (1997). Hyun is noted for leading the South Korean squad in winning its first Asian Games gold medal after 20 years during the 2002 Asian Games despite being injured.
After his retirement, Hyun had a broadcasting stint as a basketball commentator for MBC Sports Plus from 2014 until 2017 and was named 2017 Jumpball Commentator of the Year. He also served as the head coach of the Changwon LG Sakers for three seasons from 2017 before stepping down in 2020, leading them to a playoffs berth in 2019 after four years of being at the bottom.
Since 2015, Hyun has been appearing in Korean entertainment and variety shows.
Early life
Hyun was born in Seoul, South Korea, the youngest of three sons. His father, Hyun Jin-gu (Korean: 현진구; Hanja: 玄晉具; 1944 – 2 April 2009) ran a garment manufacturing business. Hong Sung-hwa (Korean: 홍성화; Hanja: 洪性華), his mother, is a former national basketball player, which Hyun was unaware of until his second year in middle school, when she came to watch his game and his coach recognized her.[2]
Hyun and basketball player Seo Jang-hoon attended the same school from elementary, middle school to high school. The two are childhood friends, the latter who is a year senior of the former was present in his elementary graduation in 1988.[3][4]
Middle school and high school career
Hyun, who was a sixth grade student in Seoul Dosung Elementary School, applied for Whimoon Middle School and went to a tryout for the school’s basketball team. Hyun was accepted to Whimoon but was rejected to be a part of the basketball squad since he failed to meet the required physique and skills.[5] Hyun, who was a freshman at Whimoon, walked into the basketball tryout again, and in his second attempt, he was accepted. Hyun started playing basketball at the age of 14.[2]
Hyun’s friend, Seo Jang-hoon, whose first sports was baseball, picked up his interest in basketball around the same time as him. The inexperienced duo practiced together at the corners of the court. Hyun, who only stepped inside the court in his second year, was mostly benched during his first year together with Seo due to the lack of skills.[2][5] The two benchwarmers would end up going to the swimming pool to watch the game from outside the court.[6][7][8] Later on, the pair led their high school team to winning basketball matches.[9]
In Hyun’s high school playing career, he is noted for setting the record for most points scored in a high school basketball game, a record that still stands to this day, scoring 63 points without playing full-time.[2]
In an episode of the SBS TV show Finding Genius which aired on February 3, 2016, Hyun revealed that basketball player Seok Joo-il (Korean: 석주일), a teammate in middle school and high school, called him and Seo and he told the two of them to quit basketball since they don’t have any talent in playing. After hearing Seok’s words, Hyun said that it became his motivation to improve.[7][8]
Determined to become good at basketball, Hyun taught himself by watching videos of his favorite basketball figure, NBA star Magic Johnson, who inspired him to play.[10] In admiration for Johnson, he wore number 32.
Hyun garnered the attention of college scouts and was sought by prestigious universities in South Korea because of his promising ability. Billed as a high valued asset for his advantage to leap and shoot the ball as a big man, including his untapped potential in other aspects of the game, Hyun’s recruitment received a wide media coverage.[11] The nation’s top two basketball colleges, Korea University and Yonsei University, were out in a fierce competition to land Hyun, who was a high school senior, on their teams. In a press conference on March 31, 1993, Hyun’s advancement to Korea University was made public.[12][13]
In an interview, Hyun shared that he initially wanted to join Yonsei University, the leading college basketball team at that time, because he can win a championship ring easily without putting a lot of effort. However, his father, a graduate of Korea University, advised him that looking for an easy path in his basketball career will not help him progress, but instead it will lead to his decline because he will be staying inside his comfort zone and will not be seeing any growth. After much thought, Hyun decided to join the Anamgol Tigers to challenge himself to grow and develop as a player and help the runner-up Korea University beat the winning Yonsei University.[2]
College career
Hyun played for Korea University from 1994 to 1998 and led its success in the 1990s.[11] Together with Chun Hee-chul, Yang Hee-seung, Kim Byung-chul (Korean: 김병철; Hanja: 金昞徹) and Shin Ki-sung, they were dubbed as Korea University's "Best Five". Due to Hyun's ability to dunk, he became a famous crowd-pleaser making the stadium roar. His size and strength earned him the nickname "Magic Hippo".[14][15][16]
Injury
On September 20, 1996, Hyun underwent surgery at Kyung Hee University Hospital for the left ankle injury he incurred.[17][18]
Due to excessive training and strenuous athletic movements to the knees which started during Hyun’s college career, he suffers from a condition called knee effusion, which occurs when too much fluid accumulates in the knee. Since then Hyun has been experiencing pain on his left knee.[19]

In his first All-Star Game, Hyun scored six points, grabbed six rebounds, dished out two assists and tacked on two steals.[27][28] Since Hyun made it to the All-Star list, he was shortlisted as South Korea’s delegate to the first Asian Basketball Super League (ABSL) held from June 5 to July 16 in eight different cities of the participating countries, which includes Korea, China and Japan.[29]

Hyun, who was supposed to make his third consecutive All-Star Game appearance, failed to participate in the event due to the right ankle injury he incurred.[46][47]
Hyun underwent surgery at Samsung Medical Center before joining the military.[10][19][48][49]
Sangmu or Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps (2001–2003)
In June 2001, Hyun began his mandatory military service together with basketball players Shin Ki-sung, a teammate from college and the national team, and Kang Hyuk (Korean: 강혁; Hanja: 姜赫), who was also a national team member. While in the military, Hyun was selected to play for the Sangmu or Korea Armed Forces Athletic Corps.[50][51][52][53]
2001–02: Finals MVP and injury
Hyun, who was still rehabbing the injuries he incurred in the previous year, led the past year’s tournament runner-up to victory during the 2001–02 Basketball Festival (officially known as the Sewon Telecom Basketball Festival for sponsorship reasons). During the final game on January 16, 2002, he logged a double-double with 25 points and 17 rebounds in an 87–84 win over Chung-Ang University, ending their third championship winning streak. Hyun, who only scored eight points in the first half, succeeded in a reverse layup at the end of the third quarter making the score 63–61. In the fourth quarter, Hyun scored 17 points helping Sangmu claim the championship title.[54][55][56] This led to people calling him "The Lord of the Military".[57][58][59] Hyun was eventually named the Finals MVP and he received the Rebound Award.[54][55][56]
After his Sangmu championship, Hyun injured his left knee cartilage twice and received two surgeries in 2002. His first operation was on February 19 at Samsung Medical Center, Hyun underwent arthroscopic surgery on the left knee femur for his injured cartilage.[60] Hyun, who was still experiencing pain on his left knee and rehabilitating at that time, was highly discouraged by his doctor to take part in the 2002 Asian Games. Despite the doctor’s advice, Hyun still played and led South Korea to win its first gold medal in 20 years.[10][53] After his participation in the continental games in October, Hyun suffered from the same injury once more. On December 20, Hyun underwent his second left knee cartilage surgery at Samsung Medical Center.[52][61][62]
2002–03: Injury
In 2003, Hyun failed to play for Sangmu as he incurred an injury on his left knee cartilage for the third time. Hyun’s case was considered alarming and risky since he received two operations in the previous year after suffering from the same injury twice. In a statement, Busan KTF Magic Wings Director Chu Il-seung (Korean: 추일승; Hanja: 秋壹勝) said that there was barely cartilage left in Hyun’s knee. Hence, performing the third left knee surgery will be complicated due to the difficult method of culturing and transplanting cartilage tissue. Hyun was advised by experts to get treatment abroad but was not able to do so since he was an active duty soldier. According to the South Korea law, active duty soldiers are only allowed to get treatment overseas if it is a fatal case that cannot be treated in Korea. Eventually, Hyun did not opt for a surgery, instead, he underwent rehabilitation program at Samsung Medical Center for his injured left knee cartilage.[62]

At the 1997 ABC Championship held in Riyadh, Hyun competed for the national squad, where they won the gold medal, after defeating Japan in the finals with 78–76.[171][172][173]
Hyun represented South Korea in the 1999 ABC Championship in Fukuoka, where they finished runner-up, after being defeated in the gold medal game by rival team China with a score of 45–63.[174][175][176]
Hyun last played for the South Korean squad during the 2005 FIBA Asia Championship, formerly named Asian Basketball Confederation Championship, in Doha. He played in all eight matches, averaging 8.6 points per game and recording a 61.5% free throw percentage.[177] South Korea lost to Qatar, the tournament's host team, in the bronze-medal game, with a score of 77–89, ranking them fourth in the competition.[178][179][180][181][182]
Player profile
Standing at 6 ft 4.8 in (1.95 m) and weighing 284 lb (129 kg),[30] Hyun played the power forward position, a specialized role which was not exhibited in Korean basketball during the 1990s. Hyun is noted to be the key person who introduced the position and made it popular.[15][117][183]
A multi-faceted player, Hyun was known for his playmaking, ball-handling, passing and dishing skills.[114][12][184] He was one of the league's most popular players for his flamboyant and powerful playing style.[185] As a rookie, Hyun scored double-digits in 24 consecutive games — a feat that remains unmatched in the KBL until this day.[24] In addition, Hyun went down the league history for being the first rookie to log a triple-double.[25][26] Following his impressive season debut, he became the first rookie ever to earn an All-Star selection.[27][28] In the 2004–05 season, Hyun logged the most double-double for the forward position with 13.[79][80] He also came first in the forward position and second in the season’s assists averages with 7.83 per game.[15][81][82][83] As a result, Hyun made it to the MVP list and he finished second in voting.[84][85][86] For his performances over the season, he was voted into the KBL Best 5 as one of the two forwards.[87] Despite his tough and rough impression, Hyun is loved by fans for his gentlemanly play as well as his confident yet calm demeanor. Known to be well-mannered inside the court with just five technical fouls throughout his career, Hyun earned the Exemplary Player honor in 2006.[82][103][104][105] Hyun logged seven career triple-doubles, the most in the league history (along with Joo Hee-jung, his teammate at Korea University).[186][12]
Regarded as one of the greatest and most dominant power forwards in the KBL as well as being undersized for the position, Hyun was dubbed "Charles Barkley" of Korea. Befitting his moniker, Hyun never won a championship ring like Barkley.[10][12][13][187][188]
Hyun played in 397 regular games over nine seasons, putting up career averages of 13.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 30.5 minutes of action. He averaged 12.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 24.48 minutes of action in 10 playoff games over four seasons. His recorded career scores including the playoffs were 5389 points, 1674 rebounds and 2095 assists in 407 games.[30][82][83][186]

Broadcasting career
Hyun, who retired in 2009, returned to the hardwood 5 years later, as a sports commentator for the MBC Sports Plus from 2014 to 2017.[189][190][191]
In an interview, Hyun, who had turned down many sports broadcasting offers he had received since his retirement, revealed that he initially said no because he felt he was not yet ready to step inside the hardwood but after he realized that if it becomes too late, he will never be able to come back to the court, which he considers his home, he finally said yes.[25]
On September 17, 2014, 39-year-old Hyun made his debut as a basketball commentator at the 2014 KBL Draft held in the Jamsil Students' Gymnasium, which was also Hyun’s first public appearance since his retirement press conference.[192][193][194]
In Hyun’s first year of broadcasting, he was partnered with the veteran sportscaster Han Myung-jae (Korean: 한명재) for the 2014–15 KBL season coverage. Since the 2015–16 season, Hyun was paired with sports commentator Jung Yong-gum (Korean: 정용검). The duo was well-received by the public for their informative and engaging discussion.[195] Hyun’s in-depth analysis and entertaining commentary became a hit to basketball fans.[196][197]
In 2017, Hyun was named Commentator of the Year by Jumpball (점프볼), the official media outlet and publication of the KBL. Hyun came in first place with 13 votes, followed by Choi Yeon-gil (Korean: 최연길) with 7 and Kim Dong-gwang (Korean: 김동광; Hanja: 金東光) with 6. The award was decided by a 30-member panel composed of basketball writers and broadcasters.[198][199]
After the announcement that Hyun will be joining the Changwon LG Sakers as their head coach, he made his last appearance as a broadcaster on April 26, 2017 when he came out as a guest commentator during the third game of the 2016–17 KBL finals between the Anyang KGC and the Seoul Samsung Thunders.[196][197]
Coaching career
On April 21, 2017, Hyun, who does not have prior coaching experience, was named the seventh head coach of the Changwon LG Sakers.[200][201][202] It was a first in the KBL history that a coach was hired without any coaching experience,[190][191][203] making Hyun the only one who went from being a player to an inexperienced head coach of the same team in the KBL. Hyun signed a 3-year contract with the Changwon LG Sakers.[204][202]
In Hyun's first year of coaching, the Changwon LG Sakers ranked ninth out of the ten teams in the league with 17 wins and 37 losses in the 2017–18 season. He then took the team, who had been struggling at the bottom since 2015, to third place with 30 wins and 24 losses in the 2018–19 season. This was their first time making it to the playoffs after four years of being in the lower ranks. The team fell again to ninth place with 16 wins and 26 losses in the 2019–20 season, which ended early due to COVID-19.[205][206][207]
On April 9, 2020, LG announced that Hyun has resigned. The Changwon LG Sakers expressed their interest in renewing Hyun's contract but the latter, whose contract expired with the end of the season, refused the extension offer.[208][209]
In an episode of the KBS2 show called Boss in The Mirror which aired on May 17, 2020, Hyun expressed that he resigned from his post because he felt responsible for the team’s lackluster performance in the 2019–20 season.[210] It was also revealed that the players found out about Hyun’s departure through the news.[211]
Entertainment career
2015 – 2017: Debut, rising popularity and hiatus
In February 2015, Hyun, who was active as a basketball commentator, appeared as a guest on the award-winning and most-watched Korean variety show Infinite Challenge, where he got the nickname "Super Power".[212][213][214] Hyun’s first entertainment show appearance was a smash hit, his antics, wit and humor impressed the audience, turning him into a TV sensation.[215] Following his appearance, Hyun's name constantly appeared in Naver's real-time search.[216]
Since then, Hyun has been constantly appearing on TV shows as a guest, a panelist and a cast member. Hyun expressed that the aim of his TV appearances is to help rekindle the public’s interest in the sport of basketball,[217] which was overshadowed by the popularity of football, baseball and golf.
In an interview with Korean magazine STYLER (스타일러 주부생활) in 2016, Hyun shared that he was initially hesitant when Seo Jang-hoon asked him to appear on Infinite Challenge[218] since it was his first entertainment show appearance, but after filming, his children told him that they loved his shoot and they were excited to see him on TV. Hearing that his sons approved of his TV appearance, Hyun became receptive to TV show offers which he did not entertain before.[115] In another interview in the same year, when Hyun was asked what was his basis on accepting TV program offers, he answered that he only appears on shows that his two sons would like him to.[2]
Due to Hyun’s appointment as a basketball head coach in April 2017 and his subsequent departure from sports broadcasting, he also discontinued appearing on TV shows to focus on his coaching duties. His last appearance was for One Night Food Trip in May 2017.
2019: Boss in The Mirror and hiatus
In April 2019, Hyun joined KBS2’s new variety show, Boss in The Mirror as a cast member, ending his 23-month break from television activities. The players and staff of Hyun's team, the Changwon LG Sakers, made an appearance in the show. Due to their TV stint, players Kim Si-rae (Korean: 김시래; Hanja: 金時來), Kang Byung-hyun (Korean: 강병현; Hanja: 姜秉賢), Jeong Hee-jae (Korean: 정희재), Kim Dong-ryang (Korean: 김동량) and Park Byung-woo (Korean: 박병우) became well-known figures in the basketball world as well as the team's general manager Park Do-kyung (Korean: 박도경; Hanja: 朴塗景) and translator Chae Seong-woo (Korean: 채성우).[219][220][221] The Changwon LG Sakers also became one of the most popular teams in the league.[222]
With Hyun's television activities, he helped in boosting the image of the KBL, especially since the league and its players and coaches had been in the negative spotlight after a series of scandals involving illegal betting, match-fixing and drunk driving from the late 2000's to early 2010's.[223][224][225][226] In the past, the conservative domestic sports world had largely been resistant to athletes appearing on television programs. Alongside Seo and their former national teammate Hur Jae, Hyun's appearances on television have drawn more attention towards basketball, which had seen a sharp decline in popularity since the 1990s, back when the trio were in their prime.[201]
To devote more time and have an undivided attention in coaching the Changwon LG Sakers, Hyun did not appear in Boss in The Mirror for the whole duration of the 2019–20 KBL season. He made his last appearance on the show in October 2019.
At the 17th KBS Entertainment Awards, Hyun was nominated for the Top Excellence Award in Entertainment Category for his work in Boss in The Mirror.[227][228][229]
2020 – present: Return
Following his resignation as a head coach of the Changwon LG Sakers, Hyun returned as a cast member of Boss in The Mirror in May 2020 after 6 months of being off-air. Hyun became active again in the entertainment industry, appearing in numerous shows.
On September 2, 2020, KBS announced that Hyun will be hosting the third season of TV Loaded with Love, a TV program that has been running since 1994, together with veteran TV presenter Kim Won-hee.[230][231] This was Hyun’s first hosting gig since he entered show business.[232][233][234]
On December 24, 2020, during the 18th KBS Entertainment Awards, Hyun won his first entertainment award, receiving the Top Excellence Award in Reality Category, for his work in Boss in The Mirror.[235][236][237]
On February 1, 2021, Hyun launched his YouTube channel mukboss Mr.JooYup (먹보스 쭈엽이).[238] In two weeks, he reached 193,000 subscribers.[239] He signed with MCN agency MCCOI for content production.[240]
Personal life
Marriage and family
Hyun met his wife, pastry chef Park Sang-hyun (Korean: 박상현), through an acquaintance in November 2006. After 5 months of dating, Hyun proposed.[241] The two got married at Hotel Shilla on June 21, 2007.[242][243][244] The couple have two sons, Hyun Joon-hee (Korean: 현준희; born 2008) and Hyun Joon-wook (Korean: 현준욱; born 2009).[245][246][247]
In two interviews, Hyun shared that even until his thirties, he would still kiss and sleep next to his father, who died when he was 33. Similar to his dad, Hyun also expresses physical affection towards his two sons which his children also like. Hyun is known as a family man and an affectionate dad.[2][115]
