Kang made his acting debut as a 9-year-old child actor in 1966. He later transitioned to adult roles in 1981 with Let Us Love. Kang drew popularity when he starred in the family drama Under the Same Roof in 1986 but became best known for playing "Dal Soo" in the single-episode MBC Best Theater, which used his character to satirize the social issues of the day. In 2000, his hospitalization from a heart attack led him to take a hiatus from his acting career and move with his son and daughter to England. He returned to Korea four years later and made his comeback with People of the Water Flower Village. Kang is also an author of computer books for beginners, and in 2004 he published Oh! My God, a memoir about his life as a stay-at-home dad in Birmingham.
Kang has been nominated for and won several acting awards. First noted award came in 1972 for TBC Broadcasting Awards Special Award. At the 1999 MBC Drama Awards he won Popularity Award and Talent of the Year Award. He also received the Golden Acting Award, Veteran Actor at the 2009 MBC Drama Awards.
