[Kpople] Knets discuss the moment when they became Kang Daniel fans

I never thought I would ever stan Kang Daniel. I didn’t watch any of Produce 1 or 2, since I don’t really like that kind of shows. But now, I’m regretting why I didn’t watch that show from the 1st episodeㅠㅠㅠㅠ So I’m thinking of re-watching them… At first, I didn’t get why he was so popular, but then all of a sudden, I realized that I’m searching up his photos and gifsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I became a stan near the beginning of PD101, because of his face and body figure, but it turned out that he’s really good at dancing too, and he’s so loveable. He talks really nicely to people, smiles often, and is polite. F*ck. All these charms were so unexpected

He has an infinite amount of charms… It hurts my mouth to mention them all.. Anyway, if you decide to re-watch Produce 101 from the beginning, you won’t be able to live your life. You should get prepared before watching~

I’m not buying the Ahjumma frame, Kang Daniel is just super popular among men and women of all ages.

We are not trying to promote him, but it just happens so naturally that people get attracted to him and become stans

We don’t know his true identity…. Sometimes, he’s just a sexy person, and sometimes, he’s a puppy..

I wonder why he showed up too lateㅠㅠ I watched one of his videos since I was curious why he’s so popular, but as soon as I watched it, I became a core stan straight awayㅠㅠ

they only like him for his attractiveness? so basically he only has female fans....

His physical attractiveness is the easiest to show in a comment, isn't it? Just post a picture and a gif and people will see what you're talking about. But Kang Daniel became known for his performance fancams and his kind, humble and hardworking personality. Those could all be seen in Produce 101. Like when he said an idol should be good at everything and work hard to be able to do that. Or when he helped others when they couldn't get the dance right. Or when he never asked to be center but prefered to take a role of leader even though he knew what kind of heavy responsability with little pay off that was. There are countless examples but pictures of his cute and handsome face are just easier to talk about  :lol:

uhm that's kinda bs tbh you can just tell a story about what he did or link a video of him dancing. the amount of effort you have to put in either of those really isn't that much bigger than saying he's hot with a picture under it imo

 

I remember when kang daniel blew up. It was after his first solocam of pd101 where he danced to sorry sorry. All the comments were talking about his proportions, charisma and dancing, in that order. Before that he had some fans for his personality, but others had more. Tbh I think people like him for his looks and charisma (not: personality) the most and the other stuff comes second.

I mean, just look at the wall of text I wrote to explain it more detailed. Very few people are interested in reading that much. I know because one of my habits is promoting my favs and I've noticed time and again you can grab someone's attention much more effectively with a gif than with essays. And I'm not really familiar with Pann but can they put videos in comments? 

 

I think you need to explain it to me more how his personality isn't a major if not THE point of his popularity. Because there are a lot of beautiful idols out there. A lot of great dancers out too. And a bunch of charismatic idols in the industry. But have they all gained this huge popularity in such a short time?

Well that's true I suppose. I think I've seen videos before but you're right that a picture is quicker than a video or a wall of text. They could post a gif with text but those forum website type of things really aren't the place to discuss what idols do in-depth anyway. Most people on there seem kind of childish, under these kind of articles anyway.

 

I guess you could say it goes hand-in-hand, because retaining fans often means your personality must be somewhat good. The reason I would say the other stuff is more important is because, like I said, the interest in him went up after the fancam. It wasn't a gif of him acting funny (there were enough by the time so it definitely could have) that blew up or pictures of him, it was a solo fancam, showcasing his proportions, dancing and his charisma. His dancing was great but not the greatest, so IMO his stage presence / charisma and proportions were the biggest factors in giving him his popularity. Even now a lot of the articles I see about him mention his proportions and celebrity-like aura / charisma so yeah. I see stuff about his personality too which is cool, but I think people got attracted by the other stuff first. Right now it could be different since he's already very popular, so maybe people will see a gif of him and think wow he's pretty funny maybe I should check him out. So yeah like I said hand-in-hand but his popularity definitely mostly came from his on-stage stuff.

Yeah, we're kinda talking about two things here: how he got popular during P101 (which wasn't really the question that user asked so it's my fault I got into it without a reason) and how his popularity grew and gained fans after P101. Because for the first one it's simple, we both agree it was because of his fancams which showed his charisma and a star quality in performing. But after P101 ended and he started going on TV shows (the biggest example is DOTB) people noticed his cute personality more and that became a main attraction to him. So like you said, they go hand-in-hand.

Or not at all, his popularity take time to form. He first grabbed Korean attention for his performances, then his personality, and his gap image between Kang Daniel on stage and off stage. His visual only really made noise with his last P101 fancam "Open Up".

But yet his popularity in the end of PD101 is far from his actual popularity, his actual popularity, largely come from the show "It's Dangerous Outside The Blanket" where we have been able to see many facets of his personality. Many things he wore or did in this show became viral in Korea, and he has launched numerous trends. His male fandom normal fr a male idol at the start but now is quite impressive especially for a 5 months old male idol and it keeps growing everyday. His fashion, makeup and way of talking and walking are virals among Korean mens

I've mentioned this a few times before but I'm going to share this anyways.

My mum isn't too into kpop but one day she joined me to watch Produce 101 and she noticed Daniel in Sorry Sorry  hurrplz.png

Even though she kinda roasted his pink hair she thought he looked the best in a suit... long legs, broad shoulders and facial expressions during the performance was the things that caught her attention. Afterwards she basically watched all the performances of P101 but would ask me to put on the fancams of Daniel on youtube harharplz.png   She likes Get Ugly and Open Up the most.

My mum really liked watching DOTB since it showed off more of Daniel's likeable personality and it was funny seeing those awkward moments on the show. It's a shame that it's only 3 episodes rlytearpls.png  Nowadays she's quite busy so she doesn't follow Wanna One that much... although sometimes I see her liking some photos of Daniel on facebook lmao

For me I think it was:

 

 

I was so hype because I liked Daniel, but my top pick was Jihoon and I also liked Ong, Samuel and Hyungseob. But even if I liked them all, I still wasn't a "fan". Also, Justice League stans were sf annoying lol, so my feelings towards Daniel couldn't be like a 100% fan.

 

And then I watched the performance and he was so perfect. I found myself watching him over my pick, Jihoon. :cry:

I first started to notice him in 2nd ep, where he said being a rapper isnt a disadvantage cause idol I supposed to be good at everything(sure I know him in first ep, but he is just this funny mmo trainee for me that time). It put him in my personal top 11. But suddenly I started to save his pic in get ugly era and I suddenly get so crazy over him without realising it, because I remember I still save so many photo of Guanlin and Daehwi (both are my og pick).

I think 2nd episode? When he volunteer to sing when he's a rapper, and said, "An idol should be able to do everything." Then he help that youngest contestant. I like his attitude, he don't complain, and he do what he need to do while enjoying it. It was a nice change compare to how serious and nervous all other contestants are. 

And the way he look in this white shirt... BAM!

And he got so little votes for this performance. Cute, cool personality, hot af, and the under-dog? I was so whipped.

I was kinda turned off by nayana at first tbh so i didn’t watch broduce originally tho i was so hyped for it before, but my sis did livestream every ep (her bias is ong). One day she livestreamed ep 5 in my room and i asked her, “which one is daniel?†Bc i’ve seen a lot of ifans hyping him up in youtube comment section of nayana perf. She pointed him out to me and then...he smiled... i instantly rooted for him and confidently said to my sis, “trust me, this guy’s going to end up at least top 3.†With that charisma it was rlly clear... he did get my support with one smile.

 

And then i started to watch the show and fell deeper for him every ep, until open up happened and it was like i was holding my breath the entire time it was livestreamed, that performance solidified him as one of my most loved biases. Ofc then i follow his news everyday and fell harder again with every concert, fannacount, variety show (blanket, man) etc. there’s really no end to his charms
