Kang Daniel, who debuted as the center of Wanna One, more splendidly than any other celebrity. However, there was one noise in the process of standing alone, and while running his own company, he was in conflict again. Did you say that the ground hardens after the rain? Kang Daniel returned to his fans with a new album despite the difficulties.
Kang Daniel recently released his fifth mini-album, ACT. It is the first comeback in a year and three months. Speaking to YTN Star ahead of the album's release, he said, "I'm more excited and nervous than when I debuted."

It wasn't a very long hiatus, but in the meantime, Kang Daniel suffered from closing the entertainment agency he founded. In May, he sued the majority shareholder A on charges of forgery of private documents, embezzlement and breach of trust, and the case is still under investigation. Kang Daniel said, "I wasn't lucky," adding, "I felt like five years had collapsed in vain, and I felt an indescribable emptiness."

Nevertheless, I managed to control my mind. He said, "What has passed is what has passed. I learned to tie up my anger. That's how I ended up with a period, he said. "Of course, I'm angry when I think about it, but emotions don't continue."

Despite the difficulties, I met a new agency. This time, he signed a contract with the agency as an artist, not a representative. He said, "I wanted to keep stepping down as CEO. I felt a lot of pressure," he said, adding, "On the contrary, I feel more relaxed now and I feel comfortable because I only have to worry about my music."

I was hurt by a person at my previous agency, but there were more intimate relationships left. The current CEO of the agency is a person who had a relationship with the previous agency, and he is still with some of the staff who worked with the former agency. Kang Daniel said, "As I work, I feel that the bond with my surroundings is the most important thing. I get sensitive when I work, and people who have worked with me for a long time understand me best. It also organizes my thoughts that I can't explain well. That's why I chose it naturally," he explained.

In this process, he said he desperately felt the importance of music and the stage. "Music was a good friend," he said, "and I started studying the essence of music again." Thanks to this, I was able to complete the album in about two months because I was immersed in working on the song.

"It was an opportunity for me to realize that the recordings and songs I could have done were not natural. That's why this album feels more precious. In the end, music became the driving force. I also have a lot of greed."

Like a frog that cringes heavily and then tries to jump out, Kang Daniel showed a strong desire for music and the stage. He said, "I want to perform a lot on stage. It's the part I want the most. It's not just a stage, but I can't wait to show myself a little better," he said, expressing confidence. In particular, "I think the study I did this time was more than the study I've done so far. I want to solve this in a fun way," he stressed.

With as much planning as his aspirations, he was waiting for his new start, saying, "I hope it works out as planned." He is about to serve in the military, which is inevitable soon, but he has already burned his will for active activities in the future, saying that there is a song he wants to release ahead of his enlistment.
