Although Kang Tae Oh debuted almost ten years ago, his past is still unknown to people as this is the first time the idol has taken a leading male role in the K-Dramas he has played.
Of course, there is no denying that Kang Tae Oh is handsome AF and constantly wows netizens with his visuals.
So, it shouldn’t be surprising to know that the actor actually debuted in an idol group.
Back in 2013, Kang Tae Oh first made a name for himself when his agency Fantagio Entertainment debuted the first actor group called 5urprise.
Along with actors Yoo Il, Seo Kang Joon, Gong Myung, and Lee Tae Hwan, Kang Tae Oh wowed with their visuals and vocals.

Unlike idol groups which begin their careers as singers and later expand their endeavors to acting, 5urprise did the opposite. As their first project, they made their acting debut in After School: Lucky or Not, which featured other K-Pop idols.
