He made his professional debut after being selected in the second round of the 2005 KBO draft. He quickly became a reliable pitcher for the team and moved from the role of reliever to the starting rotation in 2008. He represented South Korea in the 2008 Summer Olympics and won the gold medal. He also represented his country in the 2009 World Baseball Classic earning 2nd place.
At the end of his contract with Kia Tigers in 2013, he expressed his intentions to go to the United States. He signed a contract with the Baltimore Orioles but barely played with the major league team in 2014. He decided to return to South Korea and signed the largest free-agent contract at the time worth 9 billion Won (USD $8.2 million) with the Kia Tigers. He retired at the end of the 2019 season due to a shoulder injury and is now trying to become a professional golfer.
