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. [12]
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 . [13]
Kangin also became the television host for two of MBC's popular entertainment programs,Sunday Sunday Night Dong-An Club and Nothing is Impossible. On channel Mnet,Kangin starred in 'Band of Brothers 2008' with Heechul,Jay and Jungmo. On channel MTV,Kangin was an MC for 'Class Up' in 2008.

[15] From December 2008 to May 2009,Kangin and actress Lee Yoon-ji played a low-income college couple for the popular MBC reality show We Got Married . This was the first MBC variety show Kangin participated in after the time-slot dispute between MBC and SM Entertainment regarding Kangin's job as host on SBS Super Junior Exploration of Human Body in 2007.
In 2009,Kangin with other few Super Junior members hosted television show for charity named 'Miracle'. Kangin was also cast to take on the role of 'Hotae' for MBC's cable comedy drama, Romance Zero . With a total of sixteen episodes,the drama ended in late May 2009 with acceptable reviews and ratings.
In May 2019,Kangin starred in the ongoing web drama What Happened to Mirae?,which was his first project since his DUIs in 2016;the first episode premiered on May 31. [16]

[17] He was discharged on April 16,2012 from the 56th army division in Namyangju-si in Gyeonggi-do. [18] [19]
A time-slot dispute occurred between SM Entertainment and MBC when SM insisted to have Kangin stay on SBS' Explorers of the Human Body instead of MBC's Sunday Sunday Night Dong-An Club,in which Kangin was a regular host. MBC decided to temporarily ban Super Junior from appearing in any future performances on MBC. [20] Kangin was replaced by T.O.P of Big Bang as the MC of Show! Music Core. Kangin could also no longer host MBC variety shows Nothing is Impossible and Sunday Sunday Night Dong-An Club until the conflict was resolved. [21] MBC also demanded an apology from SM Entertainment if SM artists should continue to perform on shows hosted by the channel. After Kangin left Nothing is Impossible and Sunday Sunday Night Dong-An Club,both shows were later cancelled due to low ratings. [20] A week later,MBC announced that they invited Super Junior to film an exclusive MBC segment,"Giving Children a New Life" despite their previous decision to ban Super Junior. The entertainment director for MBC claimed that the ban on Super Junior was never official,but a decision made by the programs' producers. [22]
On 16 September 2009,Kangin was arrested for his involvement in a fight between two men that took place outside a bar in Nonhyeon-dong,Gangnam-gu,Seoul. An eye-witness reported that two men entered a room where Kangin and his friend were present and began arguing heatedly. [23] Kangin left the bar,but the two men followed him outside and began displaying acts of violence. Another witness reported that Kangin tried to stop the fight. [24] A nearby surveillance camera caught the brawl,and it was immediately reported to the police. [25] Kangin was brought into interrogation to aid with the investigation along with four other suspects. One of the suspects insisted that Kangin assaulted him, [26] but it was later proven that Kangin only reacted in self-defense. [27]
As a result of this altercation,Kangin was dropped from being the main model of Andre Kim's fashion show. [28] After Kangin's appearance in Super Junior's Super Show 2 concert in Hong Kong,all of Kangin's future schedules became temporarily postponed. [29]
On October 16,2009 around 3 AM,Kangin collided into two parked taxis,and left the scene of the hit-and-run incident. The occupants of the two vehicles,including the drivers and two passengers,were reportedly uninjured. [30] Five hours later,Kangin turned himself in to the police. He was recorded to have a blood alcohol content of 0.082% when he arrived at the station. [31] He then failed to show up at the Seoul Gangnam Police Station at 2 PM on the same day for further investigation and had to be called in the following day. [30]
SM Entertainment and Kangin released a public apology shortly after. All of Kangin's activities were cancelled by SM Entertainment until the end of the year due to Kangin's actions. A month later,Kangin made an appearance in a new clothing company,SPAO's website. Netizens were enraged due to SM Entertainment's declaration of the suspension of Kangin's activities. It was later found out that the photos were taken prior to Kangin's DUI incident. [32] [ unreliable source ] On January 13,2010,Kangin was indicted for drunk driving,hit-and-run and fined ₩8 million by the Seoul Central District Court. [33]
On May 24,2016,Kangin was involved in another DUI hit-and-run incident,where he turned himself in after a few hours. He was then found with a blood alcohol content of 0.05%. SM Entertainment has issued a statement,stating his future activities were cancelled while he reflects on his actions. [34] [35] He entered the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office on June 15,2016,to face questioning over causing a traffic collision while under the influence of alcohol. Prosecutors summarily indicted him on July 7. On September 7,2016,Kangin was sentenced to pay a ₩7 million ($6,420) fine. [36] [37] [38]
On November 17,2017,police responded after receiving a call that Kangin was drunk and assaulting a woman at an escort bar in the Nonhyeon neighborhood of Seoul. Upon investigation police described it as a “a minor dispute,and the parties reconciled at the scene and took measures to return home.”with no injuries,and no parties wished for charges to be pressed,so Kangin was sent off with a warning and not formally booked on any charges.
