He’s been handsome his whole life!
Recently, actor Kang Tae Oh found himself the center of attention online, as his throwback photos began to gain traction across various community sites. Known for his charming performance in the hit K-drama Extraordinary Attorney Woo, fans couldn’t help but notice his striking looks in his school graduation pictures.
From his elementary to high school days, many were quick to point out that he already possessed what some would call the “complete” visual package. It seems Kang’s good looks were evident even back then!
