On May 21, ‘Rolling Stone Korea’ and ‘WWD Korea’ both announced Kang Daniel as their cover model for the magazines’ upcoming special editions.

Pop culture magazine Rolling Stone launched its Korean edition in 2020 and recently published its first issue featuring P Nation artists on its cover. Now, the cover of Rolling Stone Korea’s first-ever special edition issue will feature Kang Daniel.

Daniel reconnected with reporter Jeff Benjamin for a Rolling Stone Korea exclusive story titled “The Deeper Colors of Kang Daniel”. The two previously talked for Billboard and Forbes.

Women's Wear Daily (WWD), a journal that has been covering the fashion industry for over 100 years, made the switch to digital-only in 2017 and occasionally releases special print editions. Kang Daniel is the first Korean cover model for WWD Korea's special edition since the journal's inception in Korea in 2019. Previously, supermodel Helena Christensen appeared on the special edition cover in December 2019. Now, Kang Daniel will grace the cover of the special edition this May. The main journal also recently had an English interview with Kang Daniel.

The full behind-the-scenes photoshoot of Kang Daniel modeling Versace for WWD Korea will be available on May 25. Check out the teasers:

On May 13, he released a collaboration single titled "Outerspace" featuring Loco via UNIVERSE MUSIC and Warner Music Korea. He then hosted a UNIVERSE fan party called ‘Dear My D’ on the 16th.
