The news was later confirmed by his label KONNECT Entertainment in a brief statement to South Korean news outlet Joy News 24. “Kang Daniel will be making a comeback in the music industry in May,” KONNECT Entertainment said, as translated by Soompi.

Kang’s comeback will notably be his first domestic release of 2022, as well as his first since concluding his ‘Color’ trilogy of mini-albums last year – comprising ‘Cyan’ and ‘Magenta’ in 2020, and ‘Yellow’ in 2021.

Meanwhile, Kang recently made his acting debut in the lead role of Disney+’s cop K-drama Rookie Copswhere he starred opposite A Piece Of Your Mind’s Chae Soo-bin. It followed the story of honours student Wi Seung-Hyun (Kang), who signs up for the police academy in the hopes of following his father’s footsteps.

Speaking on the role, he revealed he felt “nervous” about taking on the challenge of acting for the first time. “It’s my first time acting, and I was really nervous being in an unfamiliar environment,” he shared. “But I was able to enjoy filming thanks to the help of various staff members and my fellow actors.”
