In April, the Busan city government held an event for citizens to recommend honorary ambassadors who can best publicize Busan’s attractiveness, and it selected Kang Daniel as its ambassador. The honorary ambassador will do public service for citizens and is an unpaid honorary position.
Being the starting pitcher was especially Kang Daniel’s long-cherished wish. He said in a V LIVE with fans last year that he wanted to throw the ceremonial first pitch for his hometown team Lotte Giants at the Sajik Stadium.
Kang Daniel recently established one-man agency Konnect Entertainment and made his first step for his solo debut. Lim Kwangwook, CEO of the production label Divine Channel which produced a number of hit songs for K-pop idols, recently finished joining as the main producer of Kang’s album. Daniel is now preparing for a comeback, including choreography for his title song with a popular international choreographer.
