[talk] The issue of Kang Daniel's agency going out of business came out today...

I was shocked to hear the news that Connect Entertainment, the one-man agency that Kang Daniel was affiliated with, was going out of business.

I thought there wouldn't be any problems with management since it was an agency that Kang Daniel was a part of, and he had a very solid fan base...

I think I was even more surprised because it was an agency that had also appeared in Jeon Tae-shi.

Kang Daniel said, "I would like to say thank you to all the staff and related people who have cried and laughed with me and led Connect. I will not forget this feeling," and expressed his feelings by saying, "I am sad and regretful to have to end the journey with bad news."

He continued, "As I've always done, I'm going to quietly work hard to get through this. I'll make this a time to think a lot about a better future," and added, "I'll try to bring you good news soon, so don't worry too much and eat well. Thank you," reassuring fans.

Kang Daniel founded the one-man agency Connect Entertainment in 2019 and has served as its CEO. Last month, Kang Daniel filed a complaint with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency against major shareholder A, known to own 70% of the company's shares, on charges of forgery of private documents, embezzlement, breach of trust, violation of information and communications network, and computer fraud.

On the 20th of last month, Kang Daniel Law Firm Woori revealed that Mr. A signed an advance distribution contract worth 10 billion won in December 2022 by impersonating Kang Daniel's name and stamping the corporate seal.

Connect Enter also said about Person A, "While checking the company's financial transaction history, we confirmed that over 1.7 billion won was secretly withdrawn from Kang Daniel's bank account."

Since then, Connect Entertainment has entered the process of closing down. The employees have been laid off and resigned, and the agency's office building was also reorganized early this year. It is known that all of the artists have left the company after their exclusive contracts expired.
