Kang Daniel, the former member of the popular boy band Wanna One, will be returning to the music scene with his fifth EP, titled "Act," in September. His agency, Ara, officially announced the news last Friday, sparking excitement among fans who have eagerly awaited new music from the artist. This upcoming release marks approximately 15 months since his last EP, “Realiez,” which was met with widespread acclaim.
On the same day as the announcement, a trailer for "Act" was uploaded online, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the new project. The trailer featured several mysterious and symbolic images, including an old television displaying static and an empty chair, which have sparked various interpretations and theories among fans. However, the video remained cryptic, only revealing the release month without specifying an exact date, further heightening anticipation.
This new EP also arrives at a significant moment in Kang Daniel's career. Just last month, he celebrated the fifth anniversary of his solo debut, a milestone that highlights his growth and evolution as an artist since his days with Wanna One. However, his journey has not been without challenges. Since May, Kang Daniel has been involved in legal disputes, having sued his former management company, Konnect Entertainment, for fraud and embezzlement. The allegations led to the eventual shutdown of Konnect Entertainment, prompting Kang Daniel to sign with a newly established agency, Ara, which will oversee the release of his new music.
Despite the legal turmoil, Kang Daniel has continued to focus on his music, and the upcoming EP "Act" is expected to reflect his personal and artistic growth during this tumultuous period. Fans and industry experts alike are keen to see how his recent experiences will influence his new work.
As September approaches, the anticipation for "Act" continues to build, with many eager to see how Kang Daniel will once again captivate the music world with his unique sound and artistic vision.
