Becoming Wanna One Was Not Easy (Kang Daniel Version) 

Daniel start at the bottom but ended up with the highest rank. He is not greedy being a center but ended as a Wanna One center. And now A lot of people love him because of his personality. On stage he is sexy but off stage look like a puppy.❤

he started with 33 votes but now he is one of the man who moved korea. im so proud of you, my giant baby daniel ❤️

This is really touching. I noticed him since Pick Me MV released, and his hair was bright pink. And I saw this one comment in youtube that said, "I bet when he changed his hair, no one will recognize him. He's only stand out for his pink hair". But look at him now, he's number 1 in male idol brand reputation for months, respectively. Almost everyone knows him in South Korea, no matter what colour his hair is. lol.

I just realized daniel is very selfless.. he never greedy to be a center but he raised his hands when they were asked to help/lead others. because he knows those things will help him too. And when he made mistakes, he admitted it & become better instead of giving some excuses or blaming others. he's amazing i cry

5 years later, in his one man company, he’s still competing with BTS for Brand Reputation. It’s not only what he achieved, but how he managed to stay at the top by his own effort.

Its nice to see how yoon jisung believed on daniels ability from the beginning that he can bet daewhi and samuel to be the center...from that ,we can really know that theres really something on kang daniel...his smart though..😀😀

Not many people watched Pd101 so they never understood why wanna one is so popular that they immediately assumed it was because of looks or some other reason.

He is so nice and always positive. He tried to be okay though he wanted to drop out. He gave the center position to his hyung/donsaeng though he could actually do it. He pushed SW to the main vocal position and kept the main rapper positions for WJ and YM (he's a rapper) and he brightly smile doing subvocalist. You deserve everything- niel.

He's not greedy during the show, that's why I'll really rooting for him. Fighting Daniel!

So proud of you Daniel You are good actor" Rookie cop"

I’m so lucky to notice Kang Daniel this year.

Daniel yang lucu, Daniel yang tampan, Daniel yang berkharisma, Daniel yang keren dan Daniel yang ramah baik hati tidak sombong❤❤❤❤

still number one 🥰

Now he has his own company 🥺🥺🥺

I liked his immediately when someone said "it's unfair because rappers need to learn to sing but singers do not need to learn to rap." and Daniel said" I think it is fair because as idols, we need to learn how to sing and dance. " ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Despite of all his talent this man is facing more criticism every single day... Befr speaking abt any person the ppl shld that how much it had taken them to reach that place !!! Everyone should respect everyone's effort and hardwork which made them to be in a position !! This is really really heartbreaking that many are targeting this extremely talented man.. 🙂🙏I would like to say that not all the time he could jus smile and accept the things whichever u say.. but when time comes he would explode and everyone will be shocked coz of his success !!! 🔥💖

I just want to scream to the world that I'M SO PROUD OF MY KANG DANIEL 찰라서 다니앨 아 영원이 사랑해

Love kang Daniel, i think he'll be a very good singer, actor, and CEO 👏👏👏

Even if he laughed many times, I can see in he's eyes the sadness he had. Deep inside he's hiding something but now he is so popular. I love him!🥰😍🤧🥺😭

Kang daniel have a pure soul ❤️

지금 다시보니 눈물난다. 어떻게 저런 과정을 견뎠지?ㅠ 포기하지 않아줘서 너무 고마워

Daniel seems like a really beautiful person inside and out

Maybe this comment is sooo late after the show. I just finish PD 101 S2 and rooting for him til the very end. Sorry Sorry performance was a bit sad, that he got 33 votes only. And all throughout the show he didn't even forced to be a center. He just want to lead and share his talent. What a bubbly person. I love when he laugh and smile and it reaches his eyes. Gossssh. Im so happyyy that he is so popular even up to this day. CEO and a performer as one. I will continue to pick yoooou our CEO KANG DANIEL!!! 😍❤❤

Daniel, the only one trainee from all Produce season that has all his 3 fancams went viral. Sorry Sorry put him on the map. Get Ugly strengthen his power. Open Up sealed the deal. I still remember the thrill of watching his Sorry Sorry fancam surpassing the fancam of popular trainees until it reaches #1 on Naver TV and stay there without being touched. His fancam has even more views compared to their group performance video.

In the audition I just remember when jisung said that "That no. 1 seat is for a King only..." while Daniel, just like smiling at him... That would be really surprising for him and a proudest moment for him... that Daniel get that King spot😭

24 June 2021 now..Still cheering for Niel.

4년전이나 지금이나 강다니엘은 사랑 💕

Wow I can't imagine how much sweat and tear he go through. thank you for this video!

Now He is one of most successful male solo idol

1:33 when no one know Daniel is going to be Korea’s treasure ♥️♥️ He start from bottom to top. I love this man so much.

강다니엘의 진정성과 노력과 묵묵함과 밝은미소.그리고 무대사랑 연습량 자신감으로 지금의 모습이된듯 멋지다.강다니엘❤ 멋지게 날아오르자.진짜새로운시작응원해 과거의 연습생강다니엘도 지금의 슈스갓다니엘도 너무사랑하고 응원한다

Daniel's attitude, talent, and mindset made him big 😍❤️

i’m so proud of daniel❤️

what is said jisung oppa to daniel when election center nayana proved correct, that daniel can become center, and since then, daniel can become center wanna one

Daniel is so talented CEO Kang Daniel

And now he is a CEO IN HIS OWN COMPANY. CHUKAE CEO KANG❤

He deserved to benunber 1 ,and the center of wanna one. An ambitious young man but very humble.

His eyes smile no joke

I liked him since the beginning, I guess I love how he smiles so innocently and he was so cute with our youngest boy. So I started to follow him, tbh I didn’t think he would end up becoming this famous because he started with 33 votes, his journey was so tough, even though he did good, but he still got the lowest rate of the group because he wasn’t noticeable. It broke my heart when I saw the disappointment on his face. But I still supported him til the end. I don’t even know who I was gonna support next if he left the show. It’s like a miracle to see how people finally gave him the credit, the love that he deserves. They love him basically because Daniel was just being Daniel. Real and kind. Always puts others first. He deserves every good things in this world. #2020 and I’m missing our big bear:((

Because you focus on your goal and your message was very powerful at that day of your competition.👍😘☺️🥰❤️🌈🌄🙏😇🌍

I cried while watching this video again 😢 Love u so much Kang Daniel ❤️

I came to hear after watching this vid on instagram, and im so touched right now, i almost crying

and thats why it hurts me to see people saying kang daniel is all about popularity and theres nothing special about him but they didnt know that this guy had 33 votes on the first mission, always humble and positive. If they had watch pd101 they would know how good this man is

Daniel's journey throughout Produce is like dream... A 'too good to be true' from-zero-to-hero story. He was just a teenager when he came from Busan to Seoul all by himself to become a trainee; to pursue his dream in dancing. But years of training didn't paid off (yet). He stucked in the company that didnt gave him proper training and didn't have any plan to debut him in the future. He was so close to giving up until Jisung suggested him and the other MMO trainees to go to P101. Daniel just decided to just give it a shot and take it as his last chance, hoping that he would at least reach top 22 and gain just-enough reputation from the show. His early journey in Produce turned out to be smoother than he thought it would be; he became the ace in class B and able to climbed to class A. Reality just hit him when he got the last place from his team on the first live evaluation; like, he probably didnt expected to got a result that low just when he was the most confident about himself and when he already did his best, and feeling crushed because probably, his best wasn't good enough. Nevertheless, he kept his spirits up and little did he knew at that time, that his individual cam of that one performance when he 'scored' poorly would become viral and sent him to become one of the most awaited contender on the show. Just when he got in top 5 and about to secured his popularity on the show, he stuck into the four-cats 'scandal' that he made by himself. He admitted his mistake immediately, yet antis still took it as a chance to sent him tons of hates and asked for him to got removed from the show. The popularity he just started to built might started to crumble. But he stayed strong (so did his fandom), took every consequences of his actions; and at that time his Get Ugly fancam became his second viral fancam and he managed to secured his place in top 10. One of the penalty he got for his mistakes was him being put into Open Up team; the only empty slot remained of all 5 songs. Nevertheless he did it wholeheartedly and leaded his team well, learned from his previous mistakes as a leader. And yeah, as everyone already knew this now; his team landed first place and he got himself the first place out of all 35 trainees, something he never got until that point. It exponentially sent him to the top of the show and he never leave that spot till the end, and going even higher and higher until he become the Kang Daniel we knew today. Truly God's work. I'm sorry this turned into a wholeass essay tldr; i'm so proud of him, of how he got into his place now because of his hardwork, patient, and endurance. He really is something else, and he really deserve that title as 'the man who moved South Koreans'. He's such an inspiration, seriously.

I was one-sided to GOT7 until they disbanded this year. Now, I am exploring different groups and I apologize for being late. Nowadays, I am so into Kang Daniel. I spent my rest days watching all his vids.

From the beginning I only noticed one thing about Daniel... he's very real. Maybe that's why a lot of people love him...

i respect the 33 people who voted for daniel

I’m crying to see daniel work so hard.. fighting oppa

강다니엘 정말 노력 많이 했구나 성장하는 다니엘 멋져

Kang Daniel was never greedy about the center position. Sure he likes it and so were everyone, but he never hurt other people's feelings or pushed them out of his way just to force himself as the center. That is why I'm happy when he ends up being the center for wannaone. Also every member of wannaone deserves all the recognition and support they have. They just deserve all the love. Wannables are wannables not just because these boys are good looking but because wannables witnessed all the happiness and hardships these boys went through p101. My dearest wannaone, please always be healthy and live happily. ❤️

I'm happy that jihyo met a guy like kang daniel, a really hard working and patient man. They're both lucky to have each other, be happy and don't let people ruin your beautiful relationship ❤️

Whatever your decision, wherever you are in the future, please take us with u.. we'll always and forever be a peach, peaches have got your back, Niel.. we love u #강다니엘 #kangdaniel #姜丹尼尔 #カンダニエル #คังแดเนียล

Kang Daniel deserves everything in this world ❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭

I'm so proud of you, Daniel ah❤ Live well and be happy. Walk on the path full of flowers, in the back you always have us❤ #KangDaniel#WannaOne

I like him very much, he's very genuine and not greedy

Thank you daniel for not giving up you did your best and for me and a lot of your fans believing that you make it and do your best so pls dont give up on any problem you have we are here to support you fighting kang daniel.

He is now a korean gem

most of the time he didnt get the positions he was fond of but pulled them off flawlessly

I love every member of wanna one but Daniel is very special!

He's not only has great talent, He's humble,nice & easy going too.. he's too perfect!! i'm so proud of you Kang Daniel 💖💖 love you Wanna One ❤❤❤

Thank you for not giving up ❤️ Always beside you, Daniel ❤️

I guess viewers wouldn't even think putting him on Open Up team because his image from previous episodes and how the show portrays him (like a goofy puppy, always smiling trainee) is the total opposite of that concept (sexy, EDM kind of song) but it just so happens that he's under the cat controversy so it's like a punishment putting him there. He did his best on that team to make it work even if it looks like he can't pull off that concept. And he end up KILLING that concept that made him THE CENTER OF SOUTH KOREA. If that's not talent, skill, knowledge, and blessing in a persona of Kang Daniel I don't know what is.

Thank you for this video this is really a special one not only for wanables or danity but also for k-pop fans .This video speaks a lot ,it was really touching .Am so happy that KANG DANIEL is now the no 1 male K-pop idol he has won so many awards but still is very humble and kind to everyone.❤️❤️

Thank you for making this video. Many idols are depressed because of mean comments. If you dont like them, simply dont watch or listen to their songs. I love Kang Daniel because I watch his development and his golden heart from the beginning. he deserves everything he got right now

I have loved Daniel since pd101 the 1st time i saw him with that unique denim jacket and pink hair..he smiled a lot..and he looked sincere...a happy go lucky character that seemed confident but not arrogant. Humble in his own way...and now with so much achievements he is still the same Daniel... what's not to love about him..i myself find nothing... saranghae Daniel..may he be always be happy...and may all wannaone team members stay in this beautiful friendship forever..❤️

I never watched Produce 101 S2 from the very beginning. I thought, Kang Daniel was always on the top . I didn't know that he has gone through a very long journey. I'm very proud of my baby who did not give up despite everything. My heart was seriously hurting. I really didn't know that he was going through this hardships. But what's more important is the ending result, although every single thing that happened on the journey should never be forgotten. 💗

Daniel, u did well babe. I'm so proud of you!!! U deserved so much become the center babe. Suddenly, my tears are falling down😭

17 April 2020.. I am still cheerful for you since 2017. Fighting Kang Daniel.. You can do it.

We’re always there for you Daniel as Wannables❤️

😢😢😢😢 u deserve everything kang daniel.... he always put others first... that what caught my attention other then that cute smile n pink hair hair dude with wide shoulder.. his attitude what made him now... im proud of u KANG DANIEL!!

Thanks for debut niel😭❤️

Non fans wont understand his struggle.. im touched! Thank you for the video ❤️

I wonder if Daniel chose to dance in choosing nayana center evaluation, would he become center since that period? and i'm still salty over Mnet edit on Daniel's leadership during Open up. It was divided into two groups. One led by him and other Dongho(like sub-leader). People still bashed him how he only cared his own group but in reality if you looked closely in his group, all members had low ranking but in the second group, the members had decent ranking. Moreover, in his group most of them are lacking. Whether you know it or not, those trainees did vlive afterward and they said they were very grateful of Daniel because if him they were able to remember the dance quickly. Srsly Mnet??? Oh my mistake it is MSnake

our kang daniel... congratulations, you made it! you restored my belief that always being kind, humble and hardworking won't betray you even in this dog eat dog world. i really needed that. thank you for becoming a big inspiration to all of us

I am crying everytime watch this . I am beyond proud of him . He really improved himself so much and ready to be superstar now . #KangDaniel fighting! #강다니엘

You worked so hard,was never greedy ,and always helped others in your team. My heart belong to you Daniel❤❤❤

that's why Kang Daniel was my first place since the beginning of the show. Although i was deeply sad cuz Jonghyun and Samuel didn't make it, I was so happy for Niel, I felt like a mom who saw a child growing up and achieving his life goals. So happy that I could recognize his talents and amazing personallity since the beggining of all, he deserves everything he got until now and more!

I cry when I watched Produce 101 episodes again. Because Kang Daniel did not have a bright stage during the journey, but he sure went to all the struggles and one by one finish it with his 200% best. For me he's always the humblest. My KANG DANIEL 💕

He is a kind and pure child! I will always support his

Daniel's humility brought him to the top

Omg im tearing up😢..and now he is in hiatus bcause suffered from hates and judgement, malicious rumors etc from antis, he deserved better😭

강다니엘 is very good person. He always thinking of the others. Always trying to be better from the past.

So who watched this early in the morning and now crying really bad😭😭😭😭 Daniel suffered a lot from the beginning to the end and even after the disbandment, just wishing him every good thing in the world once he made his comeback, such a pure and kindhearted person doesn't deserve any hate or maltreatment from anyone, he's worth it every love and admiration. Waiting for you Danik, let's walk on a flowery road from now on😘

I'm crying while watching😭so proud of you Kang Daniel💕

He has a pure heart, he always considers the situation of others before making a decision 😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘

Daniel and wanna one are the first idol and idol group that I love.. Actually I never into k pop before.. I only watch kdramas and RM... But after I watched prod 101s2 I started to look idol differently.. I realised that to be an idol requires not only good looks but also talents and hard work... And that's what I see in Daniel that makes me love him... He has these complete package to be an idol... And don't forget his personality too that always bright, positive, humble and kind to everyone that makes me love him even more... kang Daniel sarangheee 😘💕

he is the love itself. he is handsome, kind, he can dance, rap also he can sings well. he is never greedy but lead and teach other trainee very well.. i love you so much Kang Daniel♡♡♡

Daniel is such a humble human being. All the recognition he is gaining right now is all because of how he is as a person. Shine bright Kang Daniel!

Thanks for making his beautiful video ❤️ This video is proof that Kang Daniel is from nobody to somebody special with his own hard work and he deserves it, our Nation Centre God Daniel ❤️❤️❤️ his hard work teaches us that hard work won’t betray us and nothing is impossible if we try as hard as we can.

Thank you for this vid. All idols deserve respect, they are people too. #KangDaniel has come a long way I can't believe PD101 was only last year. Seems so many things happened so quickly. He deserves all the good things coming his way ❤️❤️❤️

#강다니엘 #KangDaniel I'm so proud of u..it was a tough journey to get this current fame... 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I hope all Wanna One members always be happy and healthy.. They're too precious to us, Wannables.. 😻😻😻

Seeing him grow so much from produce 101 to wanna one, i feel so tearful. He never fails to smile and laugh at every single thing even when he’s facing difficulties in life. That’s why we love Daniel so much.❤️

I am beyond proud of this boy.. Thank you for not giving up.. And thank you for loving us.. We love you toooooo..

daniel is so so special. if you look at 4:54 he said "i was okay because i accept that rank. because i don't have anything that i'm unsatisfied of." that takes a lot of confidence to say especially when you got ranked second to last. and now he got 1st place in the whole season, was the center of wanna one, was one of the most hyped people in the country, won a lawsuit, became the ceo of his own company and released his own solo album. not to mention he's dating the leader of the nation's girlgroup. we're proud of you daniel:)

So proud of you kang daniel...look at you now...everyone in the world love u...

He is the sweetest man in the entire galaxy. Hope to see him real soon. Lets pray the best for him. Kiss and hugs for Daniel ❤

U’ve worked hard, daniel ❤️ stay strong!

He thought that he didnt do well in sorry sorry. I just want to let him know that i (and i believe other fans also) became his fans because of that performance. Because i can see him being selfless for the center position and so passionate with his performance and stage. Thank you for not giving up. Thank you for always showing us your smile eventhough your schedule is super tiring.

I'm not crying I'm not crying! I'm not crying!!! I'M BAWLING!!!!!😭😭😭 Daniel, u've come so far, you deserve everything you achieved, let's keep walking on the flowery road only❤ We'll always be here😢😢😢

his attitude made him what he is today..... he deserve all the love and support.
