Kang Daniel officially joins new agency, ARA (Artistic Round Alliance). The company announced that it has signed an exclusive contract with Kang Daniel. In its statement, the ARA agency admitted that it would focus on Kang Daniel's activities in the South Korean entertainment industry. "We appreciate every support from fans at this new starting point.
We will provide our full support to ensure Kang Daniel can focus on his activities," he said Thursday June 25, 2024, quoted from Soompi. "And most importantly, prioritize communication with fans above all else," he added. Through this statement, ARA encouraged Kang Daniel's fans to continue to support and give a positive response to his decision.
"We ask for your warm support," he said. Early last June 2024, Kang Daniel decided to leave KONNECT Entertainment, the agency he founded five years ago. Konnect Entertainment is threatened with bankruptcy after being defrauded of billions of Won by the company's majority shareholder.
On May 20, 2024, Kang Daniel filed a report with the police. In the report, Kang Daniel filed several charges including falsification of personal documents, embezzlement of funds, breach of trust, violation of information and communication networks, and computer fraud.
It was stated that due to this fraudulent act, Kang Daniel had to suffer losses of up to 14 billion Won or equivalent to 164 billion Rupiah. According to the lawyer's explanation, Kang Daniel's agency CEO was caught stealing tens of millions and even billions of Won, under the pretext of expenses for Kang Daniel's activities.
In fact, this majority shareholder also apparently stole the company stamp and used Kang Daniel's name without his knowledge. Over the past year, Kang Daniel has been doing his best to cover the company's losses, but to no avail, so he had to resort to legal action.
Due to this fraudulent act, Konnect Entertainment artists WE DEM BOYZ, soloist Yuju, and Chancellor are reported to be leaving the agency and will not be renewing their contracts. In addition to the artists, approximately 20 employees who worked at Kang Daniel's agency were reportedly fired and some resigned.
