The celebrity who said he hit the 'wall of reality'...


Kuuu, Kang Tae-oh... He's famous for having a Tier 0 elementary school graduation photo among celebs.


Here are Kang Tae-oh's childhood and elementary school grad photos. You can tell he was built different from the start; he must have been popular with all the girls (the grad photo is especially legendary, even the hair is the peak 'male lead's childhood' look).
(+) Adding middle and high school photos too.




Wow, it's rare for guys to avoid a 'reverse glow-up' phase, but he grew up exactly the same. No, but how can a middle schooler look like that? Even Kang Dong-won barely survives the middle school grad photo curse lol.

Total fax.

So, because people kept telling him he was handsome since he was little, he became a trainee and walked into the practice room...

But of all places, he went to Fantagio... Cha Eun-woo and Seo Kang-joon are basically natural disasters lol.

So after that failure of self-objectification, he got his head in the game and focused solely on acting lololol. He grew up tough lol. That's how he gained both acting skills and humility; it worked out in the end haha.




But looking at it again, it's honestly impressive. Fantagio, the god-tier agency where 'heavenly' visuals exist even above regular handsome guys. Fr how did they do it?
"The community is dying over Fantagio's legendary 'visual' lineup, joking that even a top-tier handsome guy like Kang Tae-oh had to humble himself next to 'natural disasters' like Cha Eun-woo."
