Gang Dong-won appeared as a guest on the 211st episode of the tvN show "Hang Out With Yoo" special, "The Day Is Here".

When asked how he started acting while going to engineering school, he answered, "I started modeling one day when I came to Seoul and I was walking down a street. I heard acting class was good for modeling and that's when I knew that I'd become an actor. I'd never thought of being anything before but now I did and I did my best".

He was cast as a model on the streets and he said, "What's funny is, I was given business cards in Gangnam and Sinchon, wherever I was so I started collecting them".

Yoo Jae-suk brought out the legendary picture of Gang Dong-won in a checked shirt and asked him how old he was at the time. Gang Dong-won said, "People think this is when I was in university but it was when I was in high school. My school didn't have rules against hair then".

He continued to say, "I had a hard time in university. I started working in my first year of university and was absent a lot. Since I started acting, the school stirred up when I was there so my professors were stressed. They couldn't go on with the lectures".

Yoo Jae-suk then said, "There was a disclosure from one of your alumni. It was said that you caused another bar to close because you cooked in another bar". Gang Dong-won answered, I don't remember cooking but I did work as a server there. I'm sure that was after I debuted as a model".
