After a year since Kang Daniel kicked off his first solo world tour 'First Parade' in Seoul, Daniel finished its run with a two-day encore concert at Korea University's Hwajeong Tiger Dome in early July. The tour officially ended with more than 20 stops in Asia, North America, and Europe—a huge feat for a solo artist under an independent company.
The encore concert showcased Kang Daniel's musical evolution with an updated setlist composed of songs from his first solo album to the recent EP ‘REALIEZ’. New to the repertoire were tracks from his latest album “WASTELAND”, “SOS”, “Dreaming”, and “Supernova”; fan favorite 2021 b-side “Digital”; and recently released English collab song “Look Where We Are”. In particular, the cyberpunk “Digital” stage and explosive “Supernova” rock performance had the audience going wild.
At the end of the concert, Kang Daniel said, “I have many happy memories of the journeys that passed by. I think they will be unforgettable memories and records in my life that I can't just pick one moment from. I hope you have made good memories, and I will continue to greet you with new music in the future!"
Kang Daniel also surprised fans throughout ‘REALIEZ’ promotions with thoughtful support events.
Since he had wanted to make up for shorter promos due to his concert preparations, he started off with a coffee truck stocked with “drinks to cure Monday blues” and cookies.
When the actual music show week rolled around, fans were welcomed with an annotated cheer guide along with more freebies, including a rose delivery and another coffee truck with complimentary cookies.
After the final music show, Kang Daniel popped up to greet fans and personally hand out 100 photocards in a sweet fan manager event.
Even after album promos, KONNECT Entertainment gave out free water bottles and paper fans in a #Gift_For_You event to combat the summer heat at his concerts.
Kang Daniel’s sincerity to music and his consideration for others could very much be felt by fans!
In other news, Kang Daniel recently guested on KBS2's 'Mr. House Husband 2'. He will return as MC for ‘Street Woman Fighter 2’ after performing at Japan’s ‘Summer Sonic 2023’.
His live vocals and stage presence are so amazing. People really need to see him perform in person.
