Yang Taek Jo
- Name: Yang Taek Jo
- Native name: 양택조
- Nationality: South Korean
- Gender: Male
- Born: March 23, 1939
- Age: 85
In 1965, he began working under director Lee Man Hee and became an assistant director for several of his movies. One year later, he was selected as a voice actor for Dongyang Broadcasting Radio. In 1970, he worked as a dubbing actor and also earned his first TV role, at the age of 42. Since then, he has appeared as a supporting actor in many dramas and movies and is recognized for his role in the 1998 MBC drama "You and I" and he often plays comical roles.
In 2005, he was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and doctors told him he had only a few months to live. Luckily, he underwent a liver transplant and has now recovered and has quit smoking and drinking. He appeared on "King of Mask Singer" and, at the time, he was the oldest contestant ever (until actor Lee Soon Jae replaced him 4 years later). He is now semi-retired and occasionally appears on talk shows.
