His son, Kim Dong Hyeon, also appeared on television in "Bungeoppang" and other shows as well, most notably "Star Golden Bell" and also in the MBC drama 'May Queen' as the younger version of the main female character's older (step) brother.
In April 2012, Gu Ra quit the eight entertainment programmes he hosts, following controversy over a 2002 audio clip from a radio programme, where he likened comfort women to prostitutes.
He is set to return to television in January 2013, hosting a new variety show Men's Stuff with Lee Sang Min on cable channel JTBC. Edit Biography
