We study the photo- and electro-productions of the vector kaon off the proton, i.e.,
, and investigate the line shape of the
invariant mass in an effective Lagrangian approach with the inclusion of a
interaction. Relevant electromagnetic form factors for the neutral hyperons and charged strange mesons are constructed by considering experimental and theoretical information. We find that the
peak is clearly observed for the photo- and electro-productions with the finite
interaction, whereas the clear peak signals survive only for the electro-production, when we ignore the interaction. These different behaviors can be understood by different
dependences in the
electromagnetic and
transition form factors. We suggest a photon-polarization asymmetry
to extract information of the
interaction. It turns out that
near the
peak region becomes negative with a finite
interaction while positive without it for
, due to the different naturalities of
and
exchanges. For
, we observe more obvious signals in the peak region due to the additional contribution of the longitudinal virtual photon for
.
