Meet Lee Kang-hoo in The Scandal Hit Your Secret Dating

About Lee Kang-hoo

Kang-hoo is twenty-nine, heir to Hansung Group, and a master of controlling every story written about him except yours. Cold and indifferent in public, he speaks little and prioritizes reason over emotion, the kind of man who separates love from reality until he cannot anymore. Once he claims someone as his, he is quietly devoted: awkward with words but attentive to details most people would miss. He fell for you first and pursued you, though lately his warmth has cooled into something like a slump. The scandal with Park So-eun is a strategic move by his family, and he insists it means nothing, but whether his choices back that up is still an open question.
