Kang Daniel announced the beginning of a new chapter, hinting at a hotter summer ahead.

Kang Daniel's sixth mini album 'Glow to Haze' has made significant strides across various fronts since its release on the 16th.

Upon its release, the title track 'Episode' topped the music charts, along with witnessing all tracks lining up in the charts. In the institutional sector of downloads, it recorded first place. In the iTunes chart, it also dominated first place in over 10 countries, including Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Singapore. The hot response to Kang Daniel's new album was reflected in both domestic and international music charts.

The music video also caught the attention of global music fans. In its first week, it surpassed 10 million views on YouTube, and now, two weeks later, it has exceeded 15 million views. Reviews praising the flow and completeness of the entire album, which transitions from 'Glow' to 'Haze,' also poured in. Among them is 'Love Game,' a track that he participated in composing for the first time since his debut, making it even more special.

Thanks to this momentum, Kang Daniel won three crowns at major music broadcasts, including MBC's 'Show! Music Core.' Though limited to one appearance per program, he confirmed his strong presence by sweeping the first-place trophies. The stage for 'Episode' captivated eyes and ears with its sensuous performance and styling, while the stage for 'Movie Star' featured refreshing visuals perfect for summer.

Kang Daniel expressed, "I plan to create a performance that fans can enjoy together with this album filled with precious meaning, which will stay in their memory for a long time," and added, "Thank you for the warm love for the tracks I've produced for the first time and the entire album."

Kang Daniel is now preparing for an even more spectacular meeting with music fans through concerts. He will hold a solo concert 'ACT: NEW EPISODE' at Olympic Hall in Bangi-dong, Seoul, on August 9-10. The new subtitle 'NEW EPISODE' added to the 'ACT' tour that began last October hints at a new and evolved stage.
