"K-Pop Star and STAR WARS Fan - KANGDANIEL"


Hello there! The Corellian Korean here with the scoop on K-Pop star KANGDANIEL. In an interview with Starwars.com, KANGDANIEL talks about his love for Star Wars.



In 2017, KANGDANIEL, or KANG DANIEL with a space before the surname, was a contestant of the South Korean reality show PRODUCE 101. He competed to be a member of a K-pop boy band "Wanna One" and won. KANGDANIEL went solo in 2019 and released four EPs and one album selling over 1.7 million units. Also his music video received more than 150 million views.



In the interview, KANGDANIEL talked about how he was inspired by Star Wars when he was working on his first album "The Story". He compared Star Wars to K-pop in that they have their own encapsulated universe that keeps evolving. Then KANGDANIEL is asked a series of quick questions.


He briefly mentions how he watched Star Wars with his dad when he was 5 to 6 years old. Of course his favorite character is Darth Vader which might explain why he would choose to be a Sith over a Jedi. As a matter of fact, his favorite Star Wars moment was when Anakin dawned Vader's armor for the first time in REVENGE OF THE SITH. KANGDANIEL also has a fascination for LEGOs. He expressed his pride and satisfaction in completing the LEGO Millennium Falcon and at the time of the interview he was still in the middle of building the Death Star. And finally, KANGDANIEL's favorite Star Wars movie is THE CLONE WARS.



I'm pleased to know that there are positive Korean celebrities that want to promote their love for George Lucas' galaxy far far away. Recently, KANGDANIEL finished his US concert tour around the middle of March. But he will continue his world tour in Hong Kong and Macau.



That's it for this scoop. I hope you enjoyed today's post. If you want to share your thoughts, please leave a comment and a like. Until next time, may the Force be with you. Always!
