MC Kang Ho Dong who announced his temporary leave from the industry last year was recently spotted in public once again.

Y-STAR 'Live Star News' caught Kang Ho Dong stepping out with his wife on the 30th, and caught up with him for a brief interview.

The entertainer who looked comfortable in his black down jacket was not threatened by the unexpected reporters and gave his best smile.

He greeted them saying, "You guys always work so hard. I'm with my family right now, so please spare me my privacy. Have a blessed new year."

The MC temporarily retired from the entertainment industry after being under suspicion of tax evasion, but was recently spotted with comedian Lee Kyung Kyu in Apgujeong which made fans hopeful for his comeback.

Seeing that the MC looks to be more comfortable being out in public, do you think he's ready to return?
