Although it's been remarked that Kang talked down to an aspiring Announcer during a student dinner at [[Yonsei University]] on July 20, 2010, his remark is now regarded as a realistic advice, as the #MeToo movement in Korea revealed that sexual molestation and violence has been prevalent in the Korean entertainment and new industry. At the time, this caused a legal action and was considered a scandal.

Controversy
Announcer insult
Although it's been remarked that Kang talked down to an aspiring Announcer during a student dinner at Yonsei University on July 20, 2010, his remark is now regarded as a realistic advice, as the #MeToo movement in Korea revealed that sexual molestation and violence has been prevalent in the Korean entertainment and new industry. At the time, this caused a legal action and was considered a scandal. He was removed from the Grand National Party in September 2010.[2]
Election Problems
He is involved in spreading a negative impression against a non-partisan candidate for Mayor of Seoul, Park Won-soon, based on a false allegation that Park forged his Harvard Law School degree.[3] This is to support the Grand National Party candidate, Na Kyung-won, the counterpart of Park.
Suing Choi Hyo-jong
He later sued South Korean comedian Choi Hyo-jong for "disrespecting the National Assembly" in a skit in Gag Concert. Chung Doo-un protested against Kang's decision "that could potentially undermine the ruling Grand National Party".[4] Comedian Kim Won-hyo protested against Kang's action on his Twitter account with a humorous remark.[5]
The comedians of the Gag Concert dedicated the November 27th, 2011 episode to lampoon Kang Yong-suk's action of suing Choi Hyo-jong.[6]
Retirement from TV show
He did many entertainment show's Kangjuk-dul (TV Chosun), The Genius (tvN), Crime Scene (JTBC), but after his scandal, he retired from all of his TV shows.[7]
