Kang Daniel is featured as the cover story for the 'WWD Korea' December 2022 and January 2023 issues! The full interview and pictorial with Daniel decked out in Dolce & Gabbana and HYERES LOR are on the official website.

In the accompanying interview, Kang Daniel spoke about his recent activities including hosting, drama filming, making music, and touring. He had vowed to live busily this year, a feat he accomplished with multiple music releases including his first full-length album 'The Story' with title track "Upside Down", repackage 'The Story : RETOLD' with title track "Nirvana" taking inspiration from how he felt on tour, and Japan debut EP ‘Joy Ride’ with title track "Joy Ride" and a pre-release "TPIR" featuring MIYAVI.

Kang Daniel reflected on the many things to consider before music can be released from the lyrics to the topline, instruments, copyright, choreography, themes, emotional lines, matching outfits, hair, and makeup—all while trying to fill the work with his opinions. "PARANOIA" is the song Daniel had the most input in, so he made it his goal to release another song where he can draw out and coordinate the picture he wants.

When WWD asked about thoughts on being on the cusp of adulthood, Kang Daniel said he is having less idealistic thoughts: "Showing off appearance or money doesn’t matter to me. The sense of security with good people is the most important thing. I think I live back and forth between a simple and honest boyish mindset and a man who loves and takes responsibility for my surroundings."

Kang Daniel is currently on his first solo world tour 'First Parade', through which he wants to spread positive vibes: "If the people breathing with me are happy, I think it is the greatest joy if I can give them even a little bit of happiness." His plan for next year is to finish the world tour well, do something in his Busan hometown, and make time to travel alone.
