He gave me music that allowed me to grieve alongside him and then showed me a roadmap out of it. And, you can come out the other side realizing that life is about your mind state. How important it is to be brave in facing your feelings. He helped me realize how important being a kind person was to me.
In addition to finding a rekindling of my artistic drive through him, I also found something much greater. If kindness was personified, it would be Kang Daniel. At first, I noticed him for his dancing, and then as I began to watch content with him in it, I realized that his dancing actually pales in comparison to what an amazing human being he is. “Joy” is the word I would use to describe Kang Daniel. It was inspiring and gave me an answer to a question I had been seeking: what am I missing right now in my life that would bring me joy? As a fellow artist who had hidden away their talent for many years, it was amazing for me to see someone performing at such a high level. Every bodyline crisp, beautiful, and you can tell – he’s someone who has practiced until the dance moves are unconsciously flowing out of him. A person doing what they clearly loved, expressing themselves to their highest potential. I stumbled upon Kang Daniel at a time where I was pondering these important questions…and in a very real sense, he became my guiding light.Īt first, I noticed his dancing. I think a lot of us took time during the pandemic to examine who we are and what we really want in life. Out of this rose my love for Kang Daniel.
I feared for myself and everyone’s future. What makes us human – connection with others – were strained by that being the very thing that spread COVID-19. Working in an industry that was shut down for over 18 months due to regulations was draining.
Globally, we were forced to stay home for periods of time, wondered about our jobs, our role in life, and if everything would ever feel normal again. 2021 was slightly better, but in some ways, it felt like an extension of 2020. And, when I say artist, I mean artist in every sense of the word. But, Kang Daniel, he’s now my favorite artist. I still in general don’t listen to K-Pop. K-Pop? I had never really listened to it prior to 2021.
