After his exclusive work at EBS, Um has been a freelancer since 2001. In the early 2000s, he came to prominence after voicing Kira Yamato on the Korean dub of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.

He is best known for his voicing Calcifer on the Korean dub of a Studio Ghibli animation Howl's Moving Castle, L. Lawliet on the Korean dub of a Japanese television animation series Death Note, Po on the Korean dub of the DreamWorks Animation film series Kung Fu Panda, and, even more recently, Poli on a South Korean animated children's television series Robocar Poli.

Leafie (잎싹, leaf (잎) + sprout (싹)) lives on a chicken farm where she is in a cage with many other egg-laying hens. However, she can't incubate the eggs even though they are her own. Dreaming of having her own young, she plans to escape from the farm. While escaping, a one eyed weasel known as One-Eye threatens Leafie, but Wanderer (a mallard duck, 나그네 "Nagnae") helps her to escape. Leafie makes friends with Wanderer, but the guard duck leaves without a word.
