Kangin: Super Junior's "stain", preparing to return but no one supports him, retiring

Kangin used to be a popular face in Super Junior but because of a series of scandals, his career was completely submerged. When he tried to come back after the scandals, no one supported it.

Kangin's real name is Kim Young-woon, born January 17, 1985, is a Korean singer, actor and dancer; former member of the bo.y band Super Junior. During his active days, he was also one of the pieces of Super Junior actively participating in game shows and television programs. The impression he left on the audience was of a lively, sharp, witty and funny guy.

Kangin began training under SM Entertainment after winning Best Outward Appearance in the company's 4th Young Talent Contest in 2002. In May of the same year, he made his debut with a role in the SBS drama "Men And Women".

Kangin was supposed to be in a group called Four Seasons with Heechul, Jaejoong and Yunho but the plan did not come to fruition. In 2003, Jaejoong and Yunho debuted with the group TVXQ (Rising Gods from the East).

In 2005, after a failed debut, Kangin finally found his way as an official member of Super Junior and quickly became a top Gen 2 group with a series of impressive hits such as U, Sorry, sorry, Mr. Simple, Bonamana, Mamacita...

According to the original plan, Super Junior was originally a project group, with members graduating every year and new members being added. However, the group was unexpectedly successful, so fans put pressure on the company and made Super Junior a permanent group.

It can be said that besides being a singer and member of the group, hosting is considered Kangin's strongest field of activity. In September 2005, Kangin was the MC for two famous events, "BoA fan meeting" and "DBSG Showcase".

In 2006, Kangin became a DJ for "Chunbangjichuk Radio", a program where Super Junior members often appeared as guests. He then moved to be a DJ for "Chinchin radio" until April 15, 2009.

As a DJ and MC, Kangin has also won many individual awards. During press conferences and fan meetings, he and Leeteuk always act as spokespersons for Super Junior. Because of his strong, independent personality, the members consider him their "father".

Kangin also participated in writing the Korean lyrics for the song "Canival" performed on "Super Show 2". While on the rise, the male idol suddenly got into a shocking scanda.l, which was being investigated by the police for driving while intoxicated. Before that, he also participated in a fight at a bar.

Specifically, in 2009, Kangin drove while drunk and collided with two taxis. Initially, the Super Junior member fled the scene but returned a few hours later. According to reports, his bloo.d alcohol level exceeded the legal limit. In the end, the male idol was fined 8 million won (nearly 149 million VND).

In 2016, Kangin once again participated in traffic while not sober. He even hit a street light pole and ran away, then decided to return and was fined 7 million Won (more than 130 million VND). In 2017, the 8X singer was involved in a scanda.l of "physically impacting" a woman while drunk.

This person is believed to be Kangin's girlfriend. Police officers went to the restaurant where the incident occurred and took the male idol to the police station for investigation. He was later released after receiving a warning from the police and was isolated from his girlfriend. Because the victi.m decided not to press charges, the case was not investigated further.

In 2019, the name Kangin was once again mentioned a lot because of the suspicion of being involved in Jung Joon Young's scanda.l. The incident involved secretly filming and distributing sensitive clips of many girls. Super Junior's representative later confirmed that it was true that the 8X singer was in a temporary chat room with Jung Joon Young when they appeared together on a show. At the same time, he denied all rumors of the involvement of the male artist named "K" in this chat group.

In June 2019, fans were delighted to see Super Junior return with all members after completing their military service. However, only 9 members were present, except for Kangin and Sungmin, which raised big questions for fans. Kangin said at that time that he was thinking about leaving the group as soon as possible. He did not want the members to continue to face his troubles.

On July 11 of the same year, Kangin officially announced his departure from Super Junior. He said that he was very sorry to the fans and the members of the group but that it was the last choice. The male idol will still follow and give sincere support to his teammates.

Sujulabel also confirmed that Kangin left Super Junior that same day, he will remain at SM Entertainment until the end of his contract but will not have any activities. Kangin's last appearance with Super Junior was in the album "Sex.y, Free & Single" in 2012.

After a series of scandals, a group of fans called for a boycott of everything related to Super Junior. After leaving the group, Kangin also faced many difficulties in developing his career. In 2023, the male singer was discovered to have opened a personal YouTube channel.

In May 2024, at Ryeowook's wedding, fans were overjoyed to see the 15 Super Junior members reunite. This was a rare occasion for the entire group to gather together. They happily chatted and took photos together. Kangin was among them.

Some sources said that the 8X singer intends to return to the entertainment industry. Accordingly, he has joined Dear U Bubble (a paid service for texting with stars). This is the first step in the comeback plan of the former Super Junior member. However, Kangin has not received support from the public because of serious scandals in the past.

At Ryeowook's wedding, Leeteuk caused controversy when he publicly called for support for Kangin. "Kangin's time for self-reflection has exceeded his time working. Please join hands to help him earn a living." On social networks, many viewers expressed their disagreement and criticized the group leader.

Many years have passed, but Kangin still cannot seem to regain the public's sympathy. The stains of the past have made it difficult for the former Super Junior member to return to his passion for art. Currently, he is working as a YouTuber and has just created a paid social media account to connect with his audience.
