Kangin
Kim Young-woon (born January 17, 1985), known professionally as Kangin (lit. meaning: "strong benevolence"), is a South Korean former singer, actor, television host, and radio personality. He is best known as a former member of Super Junior and its subgroups Super Junior-T, Super Junior-H.
Kangin officially debuted as part of 12-member project group Super Junior 05 on November 6, 2005, on SBS' music program Popular Songs, performing their first single, "Twins (Knock Out)". Their debut album SuperJunior05 (Twins) was released a month later on December 5, 2005, and debuted at number three on the monthly MIAK K-pop album charts.
In March 2006, SM Entertainment began to recruit new members for the next Super Junior generation. However, plans changed and the company declared a halt in forming future Super Junior generations. Following the addition of thirteenth member Kyuhyun, the group dropped the suffix "05" and became officially credited as Super Junior. The re-polished group's first CD single "U" was released on June 7, 2006, which was their most successful single until the release of "Sorry, Sorry" in March 2009.
In February 2007, he was placed in the trot-singing Super Junior-T. A year later, he became a member of Super Junior-H. Kangin's silver-screen debut was in the Super Junior film Attack on the Pin-Up Boys, which premiered on July 26, 2007.
In June 2012, SM Entertainment announced that Kangin will rejoin Super Junior for the group's sixth album, Sexy, Free & Single, which was released on July 1, 2012. This also marked the first time he appeared with Super Junior in three years since October 2009. On June 25, his teaser photo was released showing a slim downed Kangin with a frosty look and a net-like veil over his head.
On July 11, 2019, Kangin withdrew from Super Junior, having been on hiatus since 2015 as a result of his second DUI offense. However, he will continue his contract with SM.
After he debuted with Super Junior, Kangin became a regular on MBC variety show, Image Survival until February 2006. In 2006, Kangin frequently acted as an MC at fan meetings for SM artists such as DBSK and BoA and MC for channel EBS TV. In 2006 and 2007, he went on many variety show as a guest and sometimes as a regular cast member on shows such as Love Triangle, KBS Star King, KBS Vitamin and MBC Driving School with Leeteuk as a regular cast member. His television appearances and hosting gigs earned him the highest salary in Super Junior.
Five days after Super Junior 05's debut performance, Kangin became the MC of Mnet's M!Countdown along with Leeteuk and Shindong. The trio stayed as the hosts throughout the remaining year until Kangin was replaced by Eunhyuk in mid-2006 due to his busy schedule from hosting EBS Reckless Radio and MBC's music program, Show! Music Core. Kangin left Reckless Radio in June 2007 to host MBC's Good Friend Radio with Cho Jungrin. In 2008, Kangin was chosen to take the role of 'Kang Soo' in the Korean language film, Hello, Schoolgirl.
