Had the opportunity to talk to @konnect_danielk while he was in the middle of shooting his #2U mv. After following his career since his Produce days, this is definitely one of my favorite, most rewarding interviews to date #강다니엘 #KANGDANIEL #CYAN http://www.mtv.com/news/3161984/kang-daniel-cyan-interview/

As a journalist, it’s always surreal to get to talk to artists you’re a fan of. I don’t ever take the unique and fortunate position I’m in lightly, and for that I will continue to work on becoming a better storyteller

Per request, this was KCON L 2017, Wanna One’s first performance, lol https://twitter.com/tamarwrites/status/1245772814419927040?s=21 https://twitter.com/tamarwrites/status/1245772814419927040

I'll share some outtakes later https://twitter.com/herenthereafter/status/1245774103132299264?s=20

Ok, here we go with the outtakes/full quotes

I was really interested in talking to him about "Adulthood" since he clearly wanted to show he was frustrated and overwhelmed through that song

He didn't elaborate much on his role as CEO and wanted to emphasize that he's focusing on being an artist

He got really shy when I brought up those artists, and smiled boyishly as he answered

I can say without a doubt that he looked the happiest and most comfortable, and I could feel the air change, after I asked him about his cats

I included most of this quote in the article, but I wanted to share the full thing. He really did chuckle boyishly when the translator said "Damn."
