Kang Daniel stuns audience in Manila concert
Kang Daniel opened his Asian tour with a performance at Manila's New Frontier Theater on October 22, 2023. The concert marked his first overseas tour since his solo debut three years ago.
In Manila, the Parade singer mesmerized DANITYs by delivering some of his hit tracks including Upside Down, Flash, along with a remix of his collab with Jessi called Don’t Tell. He said at the end of the concert:
"It was my first performance on my first Asian tour, so I was very excited and will never forget it. I was worried that it would be difficult for the audience because of the rain, but the warm cheers and enthusiastic support gave me a lot of strength. I hope today's performance will be a good memory for Manila fans."
The K-Pop soloist's next stop will be Bangkok's Thunder Dome Stadium on November 19 and 20, 2022, followed by Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macao. An official statement from his agency Konnect Entertainment reads:
“This Asia Tour shows Kang Daniel’s spectrum that extends to the global stage."
Kang Daniel's "Street Man Fighter" mistake
The 25-year-old MC recently apologized publicly for naming the wrong brand while thanking the show's sponsors on the finale of Mnet's dance survival show Street Man Fighter. Daniel thanked rival brand Trevi instead of the Coca-Cola brand, Seagram.
His agency, however, was quick to respond to the incident, terming it "a mistake." It further stated:
"Because the passion on the set of the final round was so heated, it seems he momentarily got confused. We apologize to the viewers and to the sponsor."
Meanwhile, the show's producers have edited the error from the streaming versions, and a Coca-Cola representative has stated that the company wishes to move on from the incident.
