He was born in November 2017 and now he is 2 years old. Kang Ha-oh bravely introduced himself for the first time on national TV through the family’s first episode of The Return of Superman.
During the first episode of The Return of Superman, Ha-oh surprised viewers when he showed off his intelligence by speaking with complex vocabulary. No one could believe that he is only 2 years old but his vocabulary is shockingly wide. Even the camera staff were completely surprised when they heard Ha-oh speak with difficult words for his age. The camera staff were whispering to each other and said that Ha-oh is really smart and they could not believe that he knew difficult words even for adults.
Not only can Ha-oh speak and understand difficult vocabulary, but he also can remember long lists of numbers such as his mother’s phone number. It showed in the family’s first episode of the show and he blurted out his mother’s phone number on TV. The 2 years old kid is not only smart, but he is also fashionable. Although he is only 2 years old, he already knows popular brands and has his own specific style that he likes. He even asked his father, Kang Gary, for a specific brand that he wanted to wear.
Reason For His Hiatus From The Entertainment Industry
In October 2016, Kang Gary decided to leave the popular variety show SBS’ Running Man after being on the show for seven years to study music and to focus on his career as a rapper.

He left the industry to focus on his role as a husband for his wife and new dad to his son.
Three years after being on a hiatus, Kang Gary decided to join the popular variety show The Return of Superman with his 26-month-old son Kang Ha-oh. It is the rapper’s first variety show after leaving the entertainment industry back in 2016. At first, it was revealed that Kang Gary was worried to accept the opportunity to join the show. The staff of the variety show said that it was hard to cast Gary and his son to join the show. Gary’s news of joining The Return of Superman was warmly welcomed by fans and viewers.

When the two, dad and son, look for a guitar in the market, Ha-oh shows that he knows the value of money although he is only 2 years old. Most kids his age would just pick whatever they want without minding the price. But not for Ha-oh, he knew that the guitar he wants is really expensive so he suggested his dad looking around.
