RUNNING MAN

Kang Gary

Age: 42
Birthday: February 24, 1978
Birthplace: South Korea

The most gullible and honest member of the show, who was introduced alongside Lee Kwang-soo and Song Joong-ki as one of the "variety rookies" due to his lack of experience on variety shows prior to Running Man. Throughout the series, he has been involved in the official loveline of the show alongside Song Ji-hyo, as well as an unofficial rival of Haha. Although shown to be quite clueless at times, he is known as "The man full of surprises" and the "dark horse" of Running Man during race missions, highlighted when the show held the Best of the Best Match with him winning the match twice in a row. He is also known to be easily irritated whenever the members, particularly Haha, called him a "squid" (as the byword for being ugly), which often leaves him depressed. He left the cast as of episode 324 to focus on his music career, but briefly return in the following episode 325 as a guest.
