On February 13, Korean outlet Osen reported that Gary’s wife shared a series of family photos from their trip to Japan. However, what truly captured public attention was how much their son, Kang Ha Oh, has changed.
Viewers who remember Ha Oh from his time appearing alongside his father on The Return of Superman between 2020 and 2021 were surprised by his transformation. Now noticeably taller and more mature, the young boy looks very different from his earlier days on television. He currently sports longer hair, giving him a distinct new image, though many netizens still describe him as bright and handsome.
Online communities quickly filled with comments reacting to his growth over the past five years. Some expressed disbelief, writing that they could hardly recognize the once-small child from the show. Others noted how quickly time has passed, pointing out that Ha Oh now looks much more grown-up compared to his adorable younger self on screen.
Gary, born in 1978, first rose to fame as a member of the hip-hop duo Leessang, known for numerous chart-topping hits. His popularity expanded beyond music when he became a regular cast member of the hit variety show Running Man.
However, in October 2016, Gary shocked fans by announcing his departure from Running Man. Shortly afterward, he surprised the public again by revealing that he had married a non-celebrity woman. The sudden announcement led to criticism from some viewers, who felt misled because he had continued to portray a playful on-screen “loveline” with fellow cast member Song Ji Hyo prior to his exit. He also faced rumors and backlash over the timing of his marriage and accusations that he cut off contact with former castmates after leaving the show.
