Professional career

No was selected 21st overall by the NC Dinos in the 2012 KBO Draft. Although No batted a disappointing .194 with 2 home runs and 25 RBI in the 2012 Futures League, he became the Dinos' starting shortstop showing great defensive skills.

The Dinos' starting shortstop for the 2013 season was 2007 KBO batting champion Lee Hyun-gon who was traded from the Kia Tigers as a free agent. However, he was replaced by No early on, who showed better offensive and defensive stats as a backup shortstop. On April 27, 2013, No hit his first KBO league home run, which was an inside the park, against starting pitcher Kim Sun-woo of the Doosan Bears.

In 2014, the Dinos signed free-agent shortstop Son Si-hyun from the Doosan Bears and moved No back to the bench. After spending two mediocre seasons, No left the Dinos for another two seasons to serve mandatory military service.

As Son's both offensive and defensive skills deteriorated significantly, No became starting shortstop for the Dinos in the 2018 season when he played 125 games and batted .283, 42 runs batted in (RBI), 21 doubles and 11 home runs. The next season, he finished third on the team with 13 home runs, a .264 batting average, 43 RBIs and 23 doubles in 110 games.

gollark: I can't tell if he's some sort of somewhat intelligent person who hit on a winning strategy for convincing people of stuff, or an insane lunatic who is making it work through sheer bluster and luck.
gollark: There's good evidence of MANY of them.
gollark: I would never have suspected that that would work before this.
gollark: He just manages to distract people from the terrible stuff by doing more terrible stuff.
