A Rising Solo Star Going Global
Kang Daniel has steadily carved out a unique space for himself in the K-pop world since his debut as a soloist in 2019.
Once known primarily as the center of project group Wanna One, he has since reinvented himself as a self-directed artist and CEO of his label, KONNECT Entertainment.
With each album release, Kang Daniel has shown consistent artistic growth—blending emotional storytelling with sleek production and mature themes.
His latest project, featuring the track “Episode,” has performed strongly on Korean charts and earned him several music show trophies, including wins on Music Core and Show Champion.
In many ways, the “ACT : NEW EPISODE” tour title mirrors his current artistic state: a new chapter, both musically and personally, one that involves expanding his presence on the global stage.
Fan Reactions: Excitement and Surprise
The announcement came as both a delight and a surprise to fans, many of whom weren’t expecting a full-scale U.S. tour so soon.
Social media quickly flooded with posts celebrating Kang Daniel’s return to North America, where he already has a loyal and vocal fanbase.
Some fans have noted that this is his first U.S. tour since the COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered global touring schedules.
While he has made international appearances, this tour marks his first proper multi-city U.S. concert series—a major milestone for the artist and his international fans, known collectively as DANITY.
More Than Just Music
For fans who want to get more of Kang Daniel before the tour begins, his film “KANG DANIEL: MY PARADE” is now streaming on Viki with subtitles.
The documentary gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at his creative process, personal reflections, and journey through the highs and lows of the music industry.

Given the size and popularity of the cities listed, especially places like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, demand is likely to be high.
In addition to ticketing, fans are also looking forward to potential VIP packages, exclusive merchandise, and fan meet events that may be offered as part of the tour experience.
