After banning him for a year, Mnet will now air Kang Daniel's comeback show on the 24th

I did not think I would live to see this. I don't want to think of the past though, this feels like a true comeback for Daniel, with his ban being truly lifted and getting opportunities to make music and show off performances on TV too.

I don't know what happened between November last year and this comeback for Mnet to change their stance and stop being bitchy toward Daniel.

I'm not complaining of course, but I'll forever still cautious about Mnet at least now Daniel has his own agency and can make his own choice.

Still this morning when I wake up tothe news I thought I was still dreaming lol it was so unexpected

I honestly thought it was an early April Fool's joke.

Last year they didn't include him in polls, made a list of July music releases and excluded his debut, did not nominate his songs, nominated him for best rookie yet did not invite him to MAMA, so on.

I think it's win-win for both Mnet and Daniel. Daniel can bring in profits for them. Daniel can promote easier. I wish he didn't have to suffer so much to reach this point, but he's letting bygones be bygones.

Considering the image that channel has right now maybe is a blessing being banned for them, nobody wants to join in their shows because the rigging thing and I'm glad, that stupid channel has screwed a lot of young talents.

^ maybe true for Mnet, but their reach is beyond just Mnet including Stone Music, Tvn dramas/movies and shows, JTBC, Netflix, so on.

I thought Tvn's Coffee Friends was the perfect show for Daniel and hope he can be a guest for a similar show. Healing and not forced

Maybe Daniel has to pay to appear on shows or events. Who knows

[RIPHaldir]

Hopefully he didnt have to relinquish anything for it, I cant wait to see him actaully promote his next album

CJENM is a big conglomerate with a lot of subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries are all operated separately by different people. Daniel getting un-banned from CJ channels just means that LM's director just doesn't have any weight within the company at large, and has in fact lost any sort of actual relevance or leverage as soon as Daniel left.

It should be noted that CJENM didn't assist LM in their lawsuit against Daniel, and let them ridicule themselves in court. As if they didn't actually support LM's director signing that sub-contract behind Daniel's back... because yeah, it was a stupid move from a business standpoint, keeping Daniel happy would have been the smart thing to do if they wanted long term profit.

Also, recently MMO (Daniel's former company, from which LM's director also is, and the one his contract was sold to) let the In2it boys go ; it could indicate that CJ has dropped them entirely and is just letting the company die on its own.

And with Jellyfish parting ways with CJ group it looks like there's some kind of strategy to slowly get out of idol business.

In the end it's just a business decision to un-ban Daniel from CJ-owned channels. Mnet has a pretty big image deficit atm, they need people to watch the channel again, and they know Daniel is going to bring viewers.

Now please give us a new season of It's Dangerous Beyond the Blankets

Mnet is a CJENM channel.

CJENM is tied to Samsung.

Samsung is the biggest company in Korea.

Corruption is rampant in South Korea, if you have money you're basically untouchable.

 

Daniel was banned from every CJENM channel because he managed to have his contract nullified by courts, and his former agency is one of many among CJENM subsidiaries.
