On the 4th, Kang Daniel uploaded three photos consecutively on his newly opened personal Instagram account.

The account has been rapidly gaining followers, and fans have been sending messages of support.

Kang Daniel's new account, released at noon on the 4th, surpassed 20k followers within 20 minutes of its creation.

Previously, Kang Daniel's official Instagram account was registered in the Guinness Book for breaking the record for the fastest 1 million followers on Instagram.

Meanwhile, Kang Daniel became a hot topic on the 3rd when it was reported that he had sent a "notice of exclusive contract termination" to his current agency, LM Entertainment.

LM Entertainment is said to be a label established by MMO Entertainment, the agency for WANNA ONE members Kang Daniel and Yoon Jisung, to support their solo activities after WANNA ONE's disbandment.

Furthermore, after revealing that he was in a dispute with his agency, Kang Daniel stated on the official fan cafe that evening, "As reported in the news, I am in a dispute with LM Entertainment."

He explained that he had requested the transfer of SNS accounts registered under his name from the agency but was refused, which led him to open a new personal Instagram account.

Below is from Kang Daniel's official fan cafe:

"Hello. This is Kang Daniel.

First, I would like to thank all the fans who have believed in me and waited for me for the past month. I also apologize again for delivering unfortunate news through the articles.

As suddenly announced in the articles today, I am in a dispute with LM Entertainment.

Because I was unable to show you my activities through SNS, and I was worried that many fans would be concerned, I have repeatedly requested the transfer of SNS accounts registered under my name from the agency, so that I could share even small updates.

I repeatedly asked the agency to voluntarily transfer the accounts so that I could show you a better side of myself, but the agency refused to transfer the SNS accounts, and now articles about the dispute have been published.

While I was contemplating after reading the articles, many malicious speculative articles that were not true began to be reported, and I was bewildered. But more than myself, I was very worried about you, my fans, who might be hurt by untrue information.

So, I gathered my courage and decided to open my personal Instagram account tomorrow at noon.

I thought a lot and agonized before making this decision, but it is an action taken purely for myself and for all of you, my fans.

I miss you all so much, and I want to stand on stage again soon.

I have been able to endure this difficult time thanks to the words you have given me and the memories we have made together. 

I will do my best to stand before you in a good way.

Please believe in me and wait a little longer. The truth will surely be revealed.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Kang Daniel."
