Fans of the "Knee Guru", an MBC talk show in which chubby comedian Kang Ho-dong dresses in colorful Korean traditional attire to talk with leading stars, can expect his return in late November.

The network said that Kang will return to the popular program that will begin airing Thursday nights again in late November. "Knee Guru" was a part of "Golden Fishery" aired on Wednesdays, but the show will become independent.

The 42-year-old has been absent from all entertainment programs after he voluntarily left following a tax evasion scandal last year. He said he would retire from the entertainment scene, but later shifted his position to a tentative retirement.

In addition to "Knee Guru", Kang has also confirmed that he will return to another popular program, SBS's "Star King" soon, another program he hosted before going on hiatus. Broadcast insiders are expecting that the comedian may well return to KBS, where he was part of the successful "1 Night, 2 Days" program aired on Sundays.

Aside from being a renowned host of these popular programs, Kang is also a successful businessman with range of business that include a restaurant franchise.
