description: "Chon Tae-poong is an American-born South Korean YouTuber, entertainer, coach, and former basketball player. Born in the United States to an African‑American father and a Korean mother, he played for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball team before starting a professional career in Europe and later in South Korea. Naturalized as a South Korean citizen in 2009, he changed his name and was selected first overall in the Korean Basketball League’s ethnic draft, winning the 2010–11 KBL championship with Jeonju KCC Egis. Known for his on‑court leadership and style as a point guard, he retired from basketball in 2020 and transitioned to broadcasting and online entertainment, appearing on variety programs and running a YouTube channel."
