    Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

In other accolades, Kang has attained a Guinness World Record for gaining one million followers on Instagram in the shortest amount of time. In 2017, Naver reported that Kang was included on its list of 'Most Searched Keywords' as the only singer in the top six, placing right below the president of South Korea. According to the KBS News list of 'Most Mentioned Figures in TV and Entertainment for 2018', Kang was the only individual among groups in the top three. He was also the only individual among groups in the Forbes 2019 'Korea Power Celebrity' list to place in the top four.

Alongside his music career, Kang made his acting debut through the 2022 Disney+ Star original series, Rookie Cops. This role earned him multiple awards including Rookie of the Year in television or film at the Asia Artist Awards. In the same year, he was selected for the Seoul Mayor's Award for Culture due to his great contribution to the rise of Seoul's awareness by promoting Hallyu in various fields. Aside from the entertainment industry, Kang is also known for his involvement in philanthropic activities and received a plaque of recognition from The Snail of Love, a social welfare group for the deaf and hard of hearing.
